elevations on FIRM panel 9628. The effective model for the Rocky River was prepared as a limited detailed study. Due to
the river's modeled status, coordination with the Chatham County floodplain manager began early in the project. It was
determined that the removal of Hoosier Dam would result in a no -rise. Wildlands submitted a technical memorandum and
no -rise certification for the project to Chatham County on March 3, 2017. The County required a floodplain permit
application, which was submitted to the County November 10, 2017. Wildlands will be responsible for submitting a Letter

Subject: Supplemental Narrative to PCN Form.
Project: USACE Action ID# SAW -2017-0051 1, NFWF Project ID #8020.16.054047
Baa. The project site located within the Piedmont physiographic region and the Carolina
Slate Belt, which is characterized by low summertime base flows. The Rocky River
originates in the eastern portion of Forsyth County and flows southeast through Guilford,
Randolph, Chatham, and Lee counties before its confluence with the Deep River. The
Bank has a watershed area of approximately 200 square miles at Hoosier Dam. The Bank
is located within Cape Fear River subbasin 03-06-12 (NCDWQ 2005). The population within
the subbasin in Year 2000 was approximately 20,000 residents. Land use within the
subbasin is predominately forest (70 percent) and agriculture (27 percent), with less than
2 percent urban development.
Hoosier Dam is a concrete buttress dam with an attached hydroelectric powerhouse.
The dam was built in 1922, and is constructed of reinforced concrete, with a total length
(including the powerhouse), of 235 feet and an average structural height of 25 feet. The
hydroelectric facility at Hoosier Dam contains three small turbines that were operated by
Hoosier Hydroelectric, Inc., as a small renewable energy producer. In October, 2012, the
renewable energy contract with Progress Energy Carolinas was terminated, and in 2013
a new contract between Rocky River Hydro LLC (the current owner) and Duke Energy
Progress was established. The dam continued to operate as a hydroelectric producer
until 2015.
Land use directly adjacent to the Bank is predominantly undisturbed woodland, with
areas of pasture and pine plantations. The entire Site impoundment is bordered by a
mature riparian buffer that varies in width from 40 feet to over 200 feet.
Hoosier Dam and Reeves Lake are responsible for the loss of natural flow regime and
shallow water habitat to approximately 22,425 linear feet of stream ecosystem (16,060
linear feet within the Rocky River and 6,365 linear feet of perennial tributaries).
B3d. The purpose of the project is the remove Hoosier Dam and a rock crib dam located
approximately 1 mile upstream. Hoosier Dam and Reeves Lake are currently a barrier
between two critical habitat areas for the Cape Fear shiner, a federally -listed
endangered species that only occurs only in North Carolina. The dam currently isolates
two distinct populations of the Cape Fear shiner which impairs the species chances of
long-term survival. The crib dam was formerly under the surface level of Reeves Lake.
Due to the dewatered condition of the lake the crib dam is currently acting as a fish
barrier.
Going from a lentic ecosystem to a lotic ecosystem will manipulate the existing habitat
and its function. However, the lotic ecosystem will develop and enhance habitat and
the habitat function for both aquatic and terrestrial species, serving as a wildlife corridor
upstream, downstream and across, whereas the impoundment and Reeves Lake is
currently an obstacle for wildlife species. The action will create a permanent gain of
habitat and habitat function. The project will develop long-term beneficial impacts by
connecting approximately three miles of improved riverine habitat which will allow for
demographic dispersal, genetic diversity and species richness. Specifically,
characteristics such as higher dissolved oxygen levels, stable water temperatures,
consistent hydrologic and sediment regime will establish microhabitats within and around
run/riffles complexes, shallow pools and woody debris throughout the reach. The
establishment of new vegetation along streambanks, on bars and islands of rock
outcrops will provide refuge from predation for aquatic species, including the Cape Fear
shiner, which is crucial for larval and young to reach their first year of reproductive
maturity. The beneficial cumulative effects such as reducing predation, healthier water
qualities, and extending the upstream riverine habitat downstream to the confluence of
the Deep River and Rocky River would enhance the Cape Fear critical habitat through
the project area and provide grounds for further research and monitoring of Cape Fear
shiner populations.
If any adverse impacts should occur within the critical habitat, they should be short-term
and small in magnitude since controlled measures will be implemented to alleviate any
severe or long-term impacts; therefore, this project and its temporary in -water work
actions should not result in Adverse Modification to designated Cape Fear shiner Critical
Habitat.
The negative effects associated with the dam and its impoundment will be removed with
the demolition of the dam. Construction itself, and potential associated sediment loads,
may cause temporary stress to any Cape Fear shiner in the immediate vicinity of the
dam. However, stress should be temporary in duration. The outcome of this project will
re-establish the primary constituent elements of the designated critical habitat essential
to the conservation of the Cape Fear shiner.
B3e. The dewatering of Reeves Lake was initiated in June 2017 and followed the
attached Dewatering Plan. The construction aspects of the project, dam removal and
channel restoration, will be completed as follows.:
1. Removal of Hoosier Dam and Powerhouse Structure
2. Removal of sediment wedge immediately upstream of the dam
3. Removal of the remnant rock (crib) dam located approximately 1 mile upstream
of Hoosier Dam
4. Stabilization of streambanks post -dam removal and stabilization of stream bed
using grade control structures
5. Implementation of habitat structures within stream bed/banks
6. Re-establishment of a riparian buffer with planting of native woody species along
streambanks.
7. Harperella sp. planting effort
Dam and Power House Removal
The removal of the power house will commence prior to the removal of the dam. A
private contractor will remove the brick structure, exterior steel components, and interior
equipment. This will be accomplished by use of excavator situated on a building pad
created upstream and abutting the portion of the top of Hoosier dam that is anchored
into the south slope. Soil will be borrowed from a nearby site to create the pad which will
be located in the former Reeves lake but outside of the current ordinary high water mark.
The bricks will be removed in clean chunks by use of an excavator with a hydraulic
thumb. The excavator will demolish the structure by pulling the brick back towards the
foundation and upland areas thereby minimizing the amount of brick falling into the
downstream river system.
The removed brick, steel and other salvageable materials will be scrapped. Non-
salvageable materials, if any, will be properly disposed of by a licensed NC demolition
contractor.
The dam itself will be removed by the US Fish and Wildlife Fish Passage Program. The
removal will be accomplished by excavators. Causeways will be built up abutting the
dam with on-site soil or concrete allowing the excavators to reach out over the dam with
a ram -hoe attachment. The dam will be "pulled back" to the upstream side as much as
is practical though dam materials are anticipated to fall in the immediate vicinity of the
downstream side of the dam. Concrete rubble will be loaded into an off-road dump
truck and transported to the on-site disposal area. A fleet of two excavator and one or
two off road trucks is anticipated to be necessary. The demolition of Hoosier Dam is
expected to take 3 weeks to accomplish. Disposal of dam material will occur at the
location specified on figures 5.1 and 5.2 of the Erosion and Sediment Control Plans.
Sediment Removal
See the attached Sediment Management Plan
Crib Dam Removal
The rock crib dam will be removed by excavator. Most of the rock will be disposed of in
upland areas outside of the regulated floodplain limits. Wetland areas have been
delineated in the area and will be avoided. Some rock may be left in place or placed
appropriately along the stream bank to encourage stable bank conditions following the
removal of the crib dam.
Streambank and Stream Bed Stabilization
Project work within the Rocky River includes the removal of the sediment wedge created
by the Hoosier Dam within the active channel. The profile for the river is approximate and
based on best available knowledge of the streambed slopes upstream and downstream
and mechanical borings of depth to bedrock. The actual depth to bedrock along the
entire proposed surface may vary greatly from what is proposed. If this is the case, the
sediments should be excavated down to the depth of refusal or presence of coarse bed
material, and banks graded back at a minimum 3(H):1 (V) slope to the tie-in point on the
existing surface.
All graded streambanks will be matted with erosion control matting. Additionally, the
excavated banks will be seeded with the temporary seed and permanent seed mix
specified in the plans. Seeded areas and coir fiber matting areas will be covered with
straw mulch.
Coir fiber matting will be installed according to plans and specifications. The recently
dewatered floodplain will also be seeded with specified temporary and permanent seed
mix and mulch. Live stakes and herbaceous plugs will be installed along the stream
banks along with bare root trees within the floodplain, according to the plans and
specifications.
Habitat Structure implementation
Habitat structures including rocky riffle and lunker logs provide instream and near
streambank habitat for aquatic species including the Cape Fear shiner.
Harperella Planting
The North Carolina Botanical garden will be coordinating a planting of Harperella
(Ptilimnium nodosum) across the restored section of the Rocky River. Botanical Garden
staff and volunteers will survey the dewatered/restored reach of the Rocky River to
survey for potential habitat areas. Plant material will be grown in the botanical garden
greenhouses.
DI The project in its very nature will remove substantial "impacts" (impoundment, fish
barriers) to aquatic ecosystems. During the project design phase all project elements
were looked at from an avoidance and minimization perspective. Because the project is
a removal and restoration effort the primary avoidance and minimization measures are
associated with the construction techniques described below in D.1.b.
D1 b The project followed a strict dewatering protocol that included several elements
specifically designed to minimize impacts to ecological resources and preserve water
quality. The protocol included the below elements. Additional detail is provided in the
attached Dewatering Plan.
• A maximum drawdown of 1 vertical foot per day to allow mussels to "walk" to
deeper water.
• Daily turbidity monitoring with a management protocol to adjust for high turbidity
measurements if needed.
A mussel recovery effort managed by NCWRC aided by Unique Places, LLC and
contractors. Mussels were physically relocated to deeper waters or to
downstream or upstream riverine environments.
• A seeding effort was accomplished to stabilize the exposing floodplains and
stream banks. Brown Top Millet was cast by hand several times a week via
canoe.
Additional mussel collection will be completed at the base of the dam to prevent mussel
mortality due to falling debris when the power house and the concrete dam are
demolished.
A NCDEQ approved sediment and erosion control plan will be implemented throughout
the duration of the project.
Given that the net increase in ecological functions and services to the Rocky River and
streams anticipated from this project (which are endorsed by partners like the NC Wildlife
Commission and the US Fish and Wildlife Service), compensatory mitigation should not be
required. The Hoosier Dam removal is an ecological restoration initiative and the NWP 53,
which covers the primary activity associated with the project (dam removal), directs that
compensatory mitigation is not required, unless the district engineer determines that the
dam removal, as outlined in this proposal, would result in more than minimal adverse
environmental effects. More specifically, the NWP 53 states:
"Because the removal of the low -head dam will result in a net increase in ecological
functions and services provided by the stream, as a general rule compensatory
mitigation is not required for activities authorized by this NWP. However, the district
engineer may determine for a particular low -head dam removal activity that
compensatory mitigation is necessary to ensure the authorized activity results in no more
than minimal adverse environmental effects. "
Not only will the riverine and stream habitat improve significantly, it is estimated that
wetlands that return as a result of the dewatering and dam removal will be comparable
to, and ecologically and functionally superior to, the man-made wetlands that were
created by the unnatural water impoundment caused by the Hoosier Dam.
The removal of Hoosier Dam will restore 16,000 linear feet of critical habitat for Cape Fear
Shiner and state listed mussel species. The net functional uplift of the project will
undoubtedly be positive. Wetlands created by the impoundment will be lost however
an unknown amount of "returning" wetlands will be restored by the removal of the dam.
Some of these "returning" wetlands are already easily identifiable in the field and on
recent aerial imagery. The attached Figure 8 depicts the existing wetlands as identified
in the JD submittal and the wetlands that have returned as a result of the draining of
Hoosier dam. The attached Table 1 lists the existing wetlands and assigns each a
predicted long-term result from the hydrologic effect of removing the dam. The results
are categorized into three groups as follows:
• No Change
• Functional/Hydrologic Change (remains jurisdictional)
• Likely Removed from Jurisdiction
Qualified environmental scientists based the assignments on a field analysis of each
individual wetland area and a review of the topographic and elevation characteristics
of the wetlands during the spring and summer of 2017. Following are some key
quantification of wetlands and their predicted effects as a result of the project.
Pre -Dewatering Wetland Totals: 232,964.9 sf (5.35 ac)
Wetlands expected to have no change: 27,304.1 sf (0.63 ac)
Wetlands expected to have function change (remain jurisdictional): 32,612.6 sf (0.75 ac)
Wetlands expected to be removed from jurisdiction: 88,268.6 sf (2.03 ac)
Returning Wetlands as of December 2017 (formerly impounded): 92,347.2 sf (2.12 ac)
The above estimates suggest that the actual square footage of wetland loss will be
comparable to the wetland that returns as a result of the dewatering and dam removal,
resulting in an overall functional improvement of wetlands and aquatic habitat in the
project area. Additionally, it is expected that additional returning wetlands will form over
the next several years following the dam removal. Given the exceptional river function
uplift and the resulting habitat increases for aquatic species, notably the Cape Fear
shiner, the project will undeniably have a significant net benefit to the ecosystem.

ABSTRACT
130 of Chatham, LLC proposes to establish the Hoosier Dam Umbrella Mitigation Bank to
provide compensatory stream bank mitigation credits to offset unavoidable impacts to
jurisdictional streams authorized under the Clean Water Act and the Rivers and Harbor Act. The
proposed Bank site is located on the Rocky River in Chatham County approximately 5.5 miles
upstream of its confluence with the Deep River. The Bank shall be planned and designed by
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. The Hoosier Dam represents a significant blockage to the migration
of the Cape Fear Shiner, a federally -listed endangered species. A number of measures are
proposed to create the mitigation bank including the dewatering of Reaves Lake, the removal of
the Hoosier Dam, the implementation of a sediment management plan, the stabilizing of stream
banks, and other activities. This project is subject to review under Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act.
In June 2017, 130 of Chatham, LLC requested New South Associates, Inc. (New South) assess
the National Register of Historic Places (NRNP) eligibility of the Rocky River Power and Light
Company (RRP&L) Dam and Powerhouse (CH 836) and provide this report. In response to a
request from the North Carolina Office of State Historic Preservation (SHPO), additional
archaeological work was conducted in November 2017 and is included in this report.

EVALUATION OF THE HOOSIER DAM
I. INTRODUCTION
In June 2017, 130 of Chatham LLC requested New South Associates, Inc. (New South) assess
the National Register of Historic Places (NRNP) eligibility of the Rocky River Power and Light
Company Dam and Powerhouse (CH 836). In response to a request from the North Carolina
Office of State Historic Preservation (SHPO), additional archaeological work was conducted in
November 2017 and is included in this report. 130 of Chatham, LLC proposes to establish the
Hoosier Dam Umbrella Mitigation Bank to provide compensatory stream bank mitigation credits
to offset unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional streams authorized under Sections 401 and 404 of
the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbor Act. This project is subject to
review under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). To establish the
mitigation bank, 130 of Chatham, LLC proposes to remove the historic Rocky River Power and
Light Company (RRP&L) Dam and Powerhouse (also referred to in this report as the RRP&L
Plant; sometimes known locally as the Woody Dam, and more recently known as the Hoosier
Dam), and its appurtenant features such as Reeves Lake, the dam embankment, and spillway in
order to restore the flow of the Rocky River and the surrounding natural habitat.
The former RRP&L Plant is located in Chatham County, six miles south of the Town of
Pittsboro, North Carolina (Figure 1). The site is accessed by Woody Dam Road (SR 2156) west
of N.C. Highway 87. The dam is located on the Rocky River approximately 5.5 miles upstream
of its confluence with the Deep River.
As a result of this study, for the purposes of compliance with Section 106 of the NHPA, as
amended, New South recommends the RRP&L Dam and Powerhouse as eligible for the NRHP
(Table 1).

II. METHOD S
ARCHITECTURAL SURVEY
As part of the due diligence for the project, Wildlands Engineering, Inc., on behalf of 130 of
Chatham, LLC, conducted a search of the records of the North Carolina State Historic
Preservation Office (NC HPO). This search identified no known National Register of Historic
Places (NRNP) listed or eligible architectural or archaeological resources in the project area.
However, Wildlands Engineering anticipated an NRHP evaluation for the RRP&L Plant
identified in the Mitigation Bank Prospectus by its most recent name, the Hoosier Dam, would
be required since the resource was over 50 years of age. In June of 2017, Wildlands
Engineering, Inc., retained New South Associates, Inc. (New South) to intensively survey the
RRP&L Plant and prepare a report assessing the property's eligibility for the NRHP. The HPO
assigned survey site number CH 836 to this resource.
New South senior architectural historian Ellen Turco and architectural assistant Debra Bevin
visited the Hoosier Dam on June 8, 2017. Mr. David Hinton, the dam operator, met Ms. Turco
and Ms. Bevin on site. Hinton described how the dam operated and provided a recent history of
the resource. The dam and powerhouse were visually inspected and the interior, exterior,
associated features, and setting were documented through written notes and digital photographs.
On June 30, 2017, Ms. Turco interviewed Mr. Joseph Ellen at his residence in Raleigh. Mr.
Ellen owned the dam property between 1979 and 1994.
The statewide architectural survey records of the HPO were reviewed to identify other
hydroelectric facilities within North Carolina. Reports and files were collected and consulted to
develop the historic context that follows in this report. Historic topographic maps and aerial
photographs were viewed at historicaerials.com, nationalmap.gov, and the U.S. Geological
Survey's historical topographic map collection. U.S. Census records were reviewed at
Ancestry.com. Chatham County real estate records were examined online at the Chatham
County Register of Deeds (2017). Other sources consulted are listed in the References Cited at
the end of this report.
The historical development, architecture, and cultural significance of the RRP&L Plant was
assessed and evaluated within its respective context according to the established NRHP criteria.
The results of this NRHP evaluation are presented in the following chapters. This report
complies with the requirements of Section 106 of the NHPA of 1966, as amended; and HPO's
Report Standards for Historic Structure Survey Reports/Determinations of Eligibility/ Section
106/110 Compliance Reports in North Carolina.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY
Background research for archaeological resources was conducted at the Office of State
Archaeology in Raleigh, North Carolina, on November 28, 2017. Seven pre -contact sites were
located within 1.5 miles of the survey (Table 2). No site forms or reports were available for any
of the sites. The distribution of pre -contact sites is typical for many areas of the Piedmont. No
previously recorded historic sites such as mills, dams, houses, or cemeteries were noted in or
near the study area.

A systematic pedestrian survey of the area surrounding the dam and adjacent structures was
conducted on November 28, 2017. Methods consisted of surface inspection for any possible
dam -related or other historic features, as well as judgmental shovel testing to assess subsurface
deposits and the likelihood for archaeological resources. Hoosier Dam and its associated
features figure are prominent in the study area (Figure 2). Shovel testing indicated an active
depositional environment that is typical of stream settings and indicates a low probability for the
presence of intact precontact or historic archaeological resources. No new features or cultural
material were observed during this survey.

III. HISTORIC AND ARCHITECTURAL
CONTEXT
HISTORY
Natural resource extraction and waterpower have played an important role in Chatham County's
history. Numerous tributaries and five rivers drain the county: the Haw River, the New Hope
River, the Rocky River, the Deep River, and the Cape Fear River. Timber was abundant, as was
the case in many parts of the state, yet the county also had deposits of coal, iron, gold and
sandstone. The Deep River coal field, situated in the southwestern half of the Triassic Basin,
was the state's only commercially significant deposit of the mineral (Fletcher 2005) (Figure 3).
Between the 1850s and the 1920s, a number of mining concerns were established, but despite
intensive investment they were never successful (Osborn and Selden-Sturgill 1991:3). In 1922,
Thomas Clarkson (T.C.) Woody, the son of a local textile mill owner, incorporated the RRP&L
to provide hydroelectric power to the coal mines south of the Rocky River (Marshall 2017).
Although the county's rivers and creeks had powered saw and grist mills since its settlement, Mr.
Woody sought to harness the river's flow for a modern use --to generate saleable electrical
power.
Maps, deeds, and other historical records strongly suggest that a dam and mill were in place at or
near the dam site many years prior to Woody's establishment of the RRP&L Company. Seven
water -powered mills appear along the Rocky River on the 1870 Ramsey Map of Chatham
County (Figure 4). Two of these mills were in Oakland Township; "Tyser's Mill" near the
present day RRP&L Dam on the southwest bank of the river northeast of its confluence with
Bear Creek, and Henley's Mill, on the south bank of the river east of Bear Creek. A rock dam
across the Rocky River north of the RRP&L Dam was inundated when Reeves Lake was
impounded around 1925 (Joseph Ellen, personal communication 2017; David Hinton, personal
communication 2017; Wildlands Engineering, Inc. 2014:1). This may be the Tysor family mill
dam shown on the 1870 Rumsey map. The Tysor family was among the county's early settlers;
they appear in eighteenth -century county court records and three early nineteenth-century Tysor
family houses have been recorded by the statewide historic architecture survey.' The 1933
Chatham County Soil Map is also labeled with "Tyser's Mill" and shows a dam spanning the
river, although by this time it was owned by T.C. Woody under the auspices of RRP&L (Figure
5).
1 The name is spelled both Tysor and Tyser in historical records. Tysor is the more common spelling.

EVALUATION OF THE HOOSIER DAM
The Woodys were a prominent Quaker family from Guilford County. The family was engaged
in a number of industrial enterprises throughout Chatham, Guilford and Moore counties in the
nineteenth century. In 1897, Newton Dixon Woody and his sons William E. and Thomas N.
Woody organized the High Falls Mills Manufacturing Company on the Deep River in Moore
County, approximately 22 miles southwest of the Hoosier Dam site (Rubenstein Library 2014).
High Falls was a water -powered textile mill with a company -owed "model mill village"
(Greensboro Daily News 1919). T.C. Woody, president of RRP&L, was the son of William E.
Woody. The Woody family's industrial expertise enabled T.C. Woody to build the RRP&L
Plant at the young age of 21.
Woody and his RRP&L Company spent the first half of 1922 obtaining land and rights for the
hydroelectric facility he planned to build. A deed made on August 5, 1922, recorded the sale of
150 acres of land from W.H. and Olivia Hill to the RRP&L Company (Chatham County
Courthouse (CCH) 1922, Deed Book [DB] FY.264). The tract included "the mill site" and gave
RRP&L: "the full right ... to erect thereupon dams, pond and impound water, construct buildings,
machinery and do all things necessary to properly develop and utilize the entire available
waterpower on said Rocky River." An earlier deed made in May 1922 conveyed 9.4 acres from
W.D. and Lena Burns to RRP&L. The deed referred to the Hills' property as the "Tyser Mill
property" (CCH 1922: DB FY.263).2 This deed allowed RRP&L to "cut and open roads" for the
erection of "poles, wires, and towers for transmitting electrical power." However, the deed
stipulated that the roads could not interfere with Mr. Burns' "cultivated and growing crops."
T.C. Woody chose Mees and Mees Consulting Engineers and Industrial Architects of Charlotte
to design a state-of-the-art dam, a version of the slab -and -buttress design patented by civil
engineer Nils Frederick Ambersen in 1903 (Martens et al. 2016:E-16). Ohio -born brothers
Curtis Adolphus and Erich Mees had established a civil engineering firm in Charlotte by 1916
(Leonard 1922:1:861). The firm specialized in "hydro electric development, power plants,
factories and industrial plants" and other infrastructure -type projects (Advertisement 1922:32).
Curtis Mees marketed himself as an expert -for -hire in the design and business operations of
hydroelectric facilities and published and spoke widely on the topic in industry journals and at
meetings. Around the same time they were working on T.C. Woody's dam, the Mees' were
designing the arch -and -buttress type hydroelectric dam at Lake Lure in Rutherford County (RF
605; DOE).
Woody established the RRP&L Company to supply electric power to the Deep River Coal Fields
where there were several coal mining communities in the early 1920s: Cumnock (formerly
2 Neither deed was recorded until September 2, 1922.

known as the Egypt mine), Gulf, and Coal Glen (earlier known as Farmville).3 The industry
ultimately realized little profit and was extremely dangerous, resulting in the deaths of over 100
local miners. The most famous and lethal incident was the 1925 explosion at Coal Glen in which
53 miners were killed. Local residents recall that Woody's primary power customer was to be
the Cumnock Mine, but the mine flooded and was closed, ruining his plan (Joseph Ellen,
personal communication 2017).4 Left with a hefty bank loan and without a customer, Woody
pivoted, and obtained a second loan to extend power lines to private homes on the south side of
the Rocky River.
Available company annual reports suggest that RRP&L was never a highly lucrative endeavor
for the Woodys (Joseph Ellen, personal communication 2017; David Hinton, personal
communicaton 2017). The facility had a maximum production capacity of 168 kilowatts. The
company operated at a loss in both 1944 and 1945. The 1944 annual report documented that
power was sold to 18 residential customers and one public utility (CP&L). Energy sales that
year were $3,193, equal to about $41,000 today. By 1945, the number of residential customers
had increased to 32, but energy sales decreased slightly to $3,061. Joseph Ellen, who owned the
plant in the 1980s, estimates there were about 75 residential customers in the 1950s, most of
them located in the area southwest of the dam; however, no annual reports were found to confirm
his estimate. The 1945 annual report reflects a $10,000 expense attributed to "flood damage to
dam." A flood that year caused the river to bypass the dam with a new channel on the west side,
and Woody was forced to quickly extend the dam another 75 feet. To supplement his income,
Woody also used the electricity generated at the dam to power the adjacent gristmill, now gone,
that he built 1930. This income was not reflected in his company's annual reports.
By the mid -twentieth century, hydropower was falling out of favor to be replaced by coal-fired
utilities, which were not dependent on water levels. In 1957, CP&L purchased RRP&L's dam
property, equipment, and 18 miles of power lines for $36,297 (CCH 1957: DB 248.318). To
consolidate their market share, CP&L began acquiring and decommissioning small hydroelectric
plants in the late 1950s and early 1960s. In addition to RRP&L's, Sandhill Power Company's
plant at Carbonton (CH 677; DOE 2004) and the Moncure Manufacturing Company's plant at
Lockville (CH18; NRNP 1984) were also acquired (Thomas and Glass 1983). CP&L shuttered
the RRP&L Plant in 1962 and removed the generator and turbines shortly thereafter.
Joseph Ellen acquired the non -operational mill from CP&L in 1979 (Joseph Ellen, personal
communication 2017). Ellen, a U.S. Navy trained electrical engineer, worked for private
electrical engineering and contracting companies across the southeast before founding the firm of

Secondary sources note that the Cumnock mine flooded multiple times between the 1870s and the 1920s, before closing for good in 1929.

Ellen, Larson, and Kirkpatrick in Raleigh, North Carolina, in 1962. Ellen repaired the
deteriorated roof, updated the electrical controls, and installed a new generator he obtained from
a textile mill in Gaston County. By 1982, the hydroelectric plant was operable and Ellen was
selling power to CP&L. In 1985, the Cape Fear Shiner, an endangered species of fish, was
identified in the Rocky River near the dam. To protect this fish, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service mandated that the river must flow continuously. Until this time, water flow was
restricted to allow the upstream level above the dam to build up and then be released through the
sluice gates though the intake in a controlled manner. The new endangered species requirements
disallowed this practice. To create a mechanism for a controlled, yet continuous water flow,
Ellen designed and hand built a water wheel that he installed in 1985 (Figure 6). The wheel
currently is detached from it axis and lies covered in debris at the bottom of the channel.
Ellen sold the property to Luther Allen of Burlington in 1994 (CCH 1994: DB 640.1025). Allen
did not make significant changes to the structure but did upgrade the electric control panels and
boxes. Hoosier Hydro, LLC, a small renewable energy producer, purchased the property from
Allen in 2005 (CCH 2005: DB 1153.297). The current owner, Rocky River Hydro, LLC,
purchased the property from Hoosier Hydro in 2012 (CCH 2005: DB 1153.297). The facility is
not currently in use.
HISTORICAL AND ARCHITETURAL CONTEXT
Rural electrification in North Carolina's rural areas was not widespread until after 1935, when
the legislature created the North Carolina Rural Electrification Authority. However, this modern
convenience came to rural Chatham County in the early 1900s via the county's two large-scale
textile mills, the Odell Manufacturing Company at Bynum and the Hadley -Peoples Mill in Siler
City. Excess electrical power generated by these mills was distributed to nearby company-
owned villages of worker housing. By the 1920s, industrialists were building hydroelectric
plants to generate both industrial and residential power. By 1924 there were 19 hydroelectric
facilities providing residential power statewide, as opposed to facilities dedicated primarily to
powering mills and factories (Brown 2004:9). Three of these were located in Chatham County.
On the Lee -Chatham County border, the Sandhill Power Company erected the Carbonton
hydroelectric dam across the Deep River in 1921. The company provided residential power to
communities in Lee, Chatham (including Siler City), and Moore counties (Brown 2004:9). In
1922, the Moncure Manufacturing Company purchased the lock and canal works at Lockville,
which had been built in the 1850s, to improve river transportation along the Deep River and built
a modern dam and hydroelectric powerhouse to supply residences in Pittsboro (Barnett 1987:8-
9; Thomas and Glass 1983:8.6). The hydroelectric plants at both Lockville and Carbonton were
similar in size, scale, and type to the RRP&L Plant.

EVALUATION OF THE HOOSIER DAM
The 1922 dam at Lockville is a poured concrete gravity dam with wing walls and six arched gate
openings (Figure 7). This type of solid construction dam was a tried-and-true design, but lacked
the innovative hollow bay buttress construction used at the RRP&L dam. This dam also differs
from RRP&L in that it utilized a 2,300 -foot diversion canal to increase water pressure. The
diversion canal was repurposed from the 1850s granite lock and canal system built to bypass the
falls just upstream from the dam. The natural fall of the Rocky River makes a canal unnecessary
at the RRP&L site. The 1924 Lockville powerhouse is similar to that of RRP&L, a shed -roofed
utilitarian brick building with metal casement windows on a concrete base (Figure 8A). After a
period of abandonment, the Lockville Dam is currently owned by Dean Brooks, who sells power
to CP&L.
The dam at Carbonton was removed as part of a stream restoration around 2005. Documentation
on file at the HPO identifies it as a "gravity dam ... a functional, unadorned concrete structure"
(Brown 2004:10) (Figure 8B). The 1921 powerhouse is a rectangular shed -roofed brick building
with parapet walls on three sides and deteriorating metal casement windows. The water level has
receded to its natural state since the dam's removal, leaving the substantial six -sluice concrete
foundation, previously obscured, now visible. The generator and turbines have been removed.

IV. RESOURCE DESCRIPTION AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
SETTING
The Rocky River enters northwestern Chatham County and flows southeast in a serpentine
manner to its confluence with the Deep River, which is approximately five miles southeast of the
Hoosier Dam. Above and below the RRP&L Dam and Powerhouse, or plant, the river runs
almost due south, with a slight eastward bearing. Bear Creek empties into the Rocky River
approximately 4,000 feet south of the dam. The Rocky River curves back to the northeast just
downstream of Bear Creek. The landscape surrounding the dam is wooded and the area is
sparsely populated. The 2010 U.S. Census recorded 1,250 people in Oakland Township, the
smallest of Chatham County's 12 townships (U.S. Census Bureau 2010).
The plant consists of a brick hydroelectric powerhouse and a concrete dam built in two stages by
the RRP&L in 1925 and 1945 (Figure 9). The plant is situated on the east bank of the Rocky
River in central Chatham County approximately six miles south of the county seat of Pittsboro
(see Figure 1). Woody Dam Road accesses the 1.38 -acre parcel containing the powerhouse. The
approximately 210 -foot concrete dam spans the river creating a reservoir known as Reeves Lake.
South of the powerhouse on the west bank of the Rocky River are the ruins of a circa 1930
gristmill. The ruins consist of a poured -in-place concrete foundation.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The RRP&L constructed the plant around 1925. The dam is a concrete structure, measuring
approximately 210 feet in total length and 25 feet in height (Figure 10). The dam was built in
two phases using two construction techniques. The circa 1925 slab -and -buttress section of the
west side employs an innovative early twentieth-century construction technique with eight open
bays delineated by seven triangular buttresses spanned by an inclined upstream face. This
hollow type of construction minimized needed building materials and lessened the chance of
failure. Anchored to the river's east bank is an approximately 75 -foot section built in 1945 using
traditional solid design, where the mass of the construction materials resists the pressure of water
pushing against the upstream side (Figure 11). The 1945 section is built of concrete aggregate
with a nearly vertical downstream face. The concrete retaining wall on the east riverbank
immediately upstream and downstream of dam was built in the 1980s.

EVALUATION OF THE HOOSIER DAM
The circa 1925 powerhouse is accessed by a concrete catwalk anchored to the west riverbank
(Figure 12A). The powerhouse is an utilitarian building measuring approximately 25 square feet
and constructed of five -to -one brick bond walls and a poured concrete base (Figures 1213-C).
The rectangular brick upper section rests on a massive poured -in-place concrete foundation with
two open bays. Imprints of the wood forms are prominently visible on the face of the concrete.
An entry with solid double doors is on the west wall. These doors consist of an exterior face of
diagonal boards sandwiched with vertical boards on the interior side (Figure 13A). Above the
doors is a brick soldier course. There are four courses corbelling at the cornice above the entry.
The decorative corbelling pattern is repeated on the north and west exterior walls (Figure 1313).
Pairs of metal sash windows pierce the north, east and south walls of the powerhouse (Figure
14A). All windows have concrete headers. The windows consist of 25 panes with two
rectangular hopper sashes and fixed rectangular sash (Figure 14A). The windows of the north
side are covered with plywood. The metal -covered shed roof slopes downstream but is obscured
from ground view by a brick parapet wall on the north, east and south sides. The parapet is
capped with a steel band. The ends of the roof rafters are exposed on the south side.
The interior of the powerhouse is a single room with a concrete slab floor, exposed brick walls,
and exposed wood rafters and roof decking (Figure 1413). The roof dates to circa 1980. The
powerhouse was in use until 2014; and therefore, its electricity generating equipment is still in
place. Situated in the southeast corner of the powerhouse is a General Electric AC direct drive
generator, which was relocated from a textile mill north of Gastonia in Gaston County around
1980. It is similar to the generator originally installed by the RRP&L Company (Joseph Ellen,
personal communication 2017). On the floor of the southeast corner is a circular metal grate that
covers a pit for a second generator, which was never installed (Figure 15A). On the south wall
are two metal control panel boxes that date from around 2000 (David Hinton, personal
communication 2017). On the floor at the north end of the building are two rectangular floor
openings for water regulating sluice gates (Figure 1513). Since a second generator was never
installed, the west opening is covered with a metal grate and there is no gate. However, the east
gate remains in place under the plywood. It is suspended from a chain and pulley system secured
to a frame of steel I -beams.
NRHP EVALUATION
INTEGRITY
Integrity is the ability of a property to convey its historic significance though its physical
characteristics. A property must possess historic significance and retain integrity in order to be
eligible for the NRNP. The seven aspects of integrity are: location, design, setting, feeling
materials, workmanship and association (Joeckel 2001:44).

The four primary historic components of RRP&L property are the brick hydroelectric
powerhouse, the concrete dam, the Rocky River, and the impounded water body (Reeves Lake)
above the dam. These components have remained substantially intact since 1925. The
resource's historic location, setting and feeling are evident and the property's association with
1920's residential hydroelectric power generation in the North Carolina Piedmont remains
strong. Mees and Mees' innovative dam design, as well as the construction materials and
workmanship of the dam and powerhouse are clearly evident. All are without major alterations
or additions that would detract from their historic character. The 1945 extension of the dam was
a necessary repair due to flood damage, and the "new" section of the dam is visually and
structurally distinct from the circa 1925 slab -and -buttress section. As a result of the 1960s
consolidation movement undertaken by the large public utilities, all three of the surviving small-
scale hydroelectric plants in Chatham County have lost their original power generating
equipment.
The RRP&L compares well with the Lockville Dam and Powerhouse and the Carbonton
Powerhouse, both Chatham County resources that are either listed or determined eligible for
listing in the NRNP.
EVALUATION
Properties can be eligible for the NRHP if they are associated with a significant event or pattern
of events that have made contributions to history at the local, state, or national level. The
RRP&L Company Dam and Powerhouse is recommended eligible as an intact example of a
1920s -era small-scale hydroelectric power generating facility that served rural residents, rather
than industrial customers. RRP&L is the most intact of the two other similar facilities that
survive in Chatham County. The property is significant at the local level. The period of
significance is circa 1925, when the plant was placed into service, through 1962, when CP&L
shuttered it. Therefore, the RAP&L Company Dam and Powerhouse is recommended eligible for
the NRHP under Criterion A.
Properties can be eligible for the NRHP if they are associated with persons significant within
community, state, or national historic contexts. Properties are not eligible simply for their links
to members of an identifiable profession, class or social or ethnic group. The RRP&L Plant is
associated with the Woody family, and specifically T.C. Woody who built the plant and
managed it until 1962. While T.C. Woody was a member of prominent family of industrialists,
research did not show that he had gained special importance within his profession. Therefore,
RRP&L Company Dam and Powerhouse is recommended not eligible under Criterion B.
NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY 29
EVALUATION OF THE HOOSIER DAM
Properties may be eligible under Criterion C if they embody the distinctive characteristics of a
type, period, or method of construction, or represent the work of a master, or possess high artistic
value. The RRP&L Company Dam and Powerhouse possess the distinctive characteristics of an
early twentieth-century small-scale hydroelectric power plant. Only one other of these plants,
the Lockville Dam, remains fully intact in Chatham County and it differs from the RRP&L in
two important ways: its use of a diversion channel and its traditionally designed gravity dam.
Designed by the Charlotte civil engineering firm of Mees and Mees, RRP&L's innovative design
utilized a state-of-the-art dam type --the material saving slab -and -buttress design. Only one other
power plant in North Carolina has been confirmed to have been designed by Mees and Mees (the
Lake Lure Dam and Hydroelectric Plant [RF 657; DOE 2016]). For these reasons, RRP&L
Company Dam and Powerhouse is recommended eligible for the NRHP under Criterion C.
It is unlikely that additional study of this property would yield any unretrieved data not
discoverable through informant interviews and documentary sources. Archaeological
background research and pedestrian archaeological survey of the area surrounding Hoosier Dam
did not locate or identify any associated dam or power -related features. No previously recorded
archaeological resources were located within the survey area and none were identified as a result
of this survey. All of the dam features were identified by the historic architectural survey.
Therefore, the RRP&L Company Dam and Powerhouse is recommended not eligible for the
NRHP under Criterion D.

SECTION 1
PURPOSE
1 Purpose
On behalf of the dam property owner, Rocky River Hydro LLC, we request concurrence with the
proposed drawdown procedure described herein for lowering Reeves Lake. The purpose of the
drawdown is to facilitate a sampling of the accumulated sediment wedge upstream of the dam
and to stabilize streambanks upstream of the dam prior to demolition. Longer term plans are
being made to remove the dam and power house entirely and the drawdown/sediment sampling
is the next step in the critical path to completing the necessary engineering and design associated
with the dam removal. Sediment sampling and removal will be accomplished following the
completion of the drawdown. Following the drawdown, it is our intention to leave the lake in the
dewatered state until the time of dam removal, which is expected to occur in late summer 2017.
SECTION 2
SITE DESCRIPTION
2.1 Site Location
Dam location: The site (35° 38' 08"N, 79° 12' 40"W) is located in Chatham County, along N.C.
Highway 87 approximately six miles south of the of the Town of Pittsboro, North Carolina. The
subject site is located on the Rocky River approximately 5'/2 miles upstream of its confluence with
the Deep River (HUC 03030003). To access the site from Raleigh, drive south on US -1S for
approximately 31 miles. Exit onto NC-87N/US-15N/US-501 N/Hawkins Ave and drive north for
approximately 6.1 miles. Turn left onto Walter Bright Road and proceed west for approximately
0.5 miles. Turn right to stay on Walter Bright Road and proceed west for another 0.6 miles. Turn
right onto Asbury Church Road and proceed north for approximately 0.6 miles. Turn left onto Mays
Chapel Road and proceed north for approximately 1.0 mile. Turn right onto Woody Dam road
and proceed for approximately 0.5 miles to the dam site on the right.
2.2 History
Dam History: Hoosier Dam is a concrete buttress dam with an attached hydroelectric powerhouse.
The dam was built in 1922, and is constructed of reinforced concrete, with a total length (including
the powerhouse), of 235 feet and an average structural height of 25 feet. The hydroelectric facility
at Hoosier Dam contains three turbines that were operated by Hoosier Hydroelectric, Inc. as a
small renewable energy producer. In October, 2012, the renewable energy contract with Progress
Energy Carolinas was terminated, and in 2013 a new contract between Rocky River Hydro LLC
(the current owner) and Duke Energy Progress was established. The dam can continue to be
operated as a hydroelectric facility until removal.
SECTION 3
METHODS
3.1 Procedure
Dewatering of Reeves Lake will follow the same process used when the lake was dewatered 20
years ago. It will be completed by locking the turbine in place and opening the existing turbine
control gates, also known as wicket gates, within the brick power generation facility of the dam.
Water flows will discharge through the gates directly into the Rocky River at the base of the facility.
Gate opening dimensions have been measured to facilitate the calculation of a target flow rate
that will draw down the lake at a rate of approximately one foot of elevation per day. This
translates to approximately 50cfs above normal baseflow. Refer to pg. 2 of attached Lake
Drawdown Memorandum for extrapolated monthly baseflows at Hoosier Dam (Schnabel
Engineering, February 8, 2017). The wicket gates will be opened incrementally to achieve the
targeted flow rate. Given the depth of the lake, drawdown will be completed over 25 to 40 days,
allowing for variability in flow volumes coming to the gate openings. An existing water level gauge
located in the power house will be utilized to measure the rate of drawdown. The gauge will be
checked daily and flow will be adjusted as necessary achieve the targeted drawdown rate of
V/day. Existing gauge date, such as the USGS gauge in Siler City, will be referenced to anticipate
flows. Operators, through the manipulation of the wicket and flap gates, will attempt to mimic
natural flow patterns (rising and falling flows) during the dewatering process. Once the drawdown
is complete all of the operable gates will be opened to allow inflows to pass through the dam.
The right chamber floor drain has not been opened in 20+ years so the mechanical functionality
of this gate is unknown. There is a possibility that it is inoperable. If gates break it is likely that gravity
will cause the flap style gates to close flush against the floor of the chambers. In the unlikely
scenario that gates break in the open position, and there is a need to stop flow during dewatering,
the turbine casings can be manually plugged. More detailed information regarding the
dewatering process can be found in the attached Lake Drawdown memorandum (Schnabel
Engineering, February 8, 2017). Additionally, a description of the power facility turbine and gates
can be found in the attached Gate Functions memorandum (Schnabel Engineering, March 20,
2017).
3.2 Environmental Measures
During drawdown, the dewatered land will be seeded with millet on a weekly basis. It will also be
inspected for major erosional areas which will be managed on a case by case basis using soft
stabilization measures (silt fencing, coir matting, coir logs, plantings, additional seeding, etc.). A
more robust planting regime will be implemented during the river restoration effort post -dam
removal.
Turbidity monitoring will be conducted daily during the drawdown period and will commence two
weeks before drawdown and extend two weeks following the completion of the dewatering. The
turbidity sampling point will be located approximately 100' downstream of the power facility on
the right bank. An additional turbidity measurement within the lake will also be taken on a weekly
interval, which will be sampled from the catwalk attached to the power house. Based on
feedback from NCWRC and USFWS a maximum threshold of 50 NTUs will be adhered to during the
dewatering process. It is understood that mussels can tolerate short term spikes in turbidity and
that it may be advisable in a high turbidity event to maintain open flow conditions (i.e. not
mechanically reduce flow). If turbidity approaches the 50 NTU threshold UP staff will immediately
contact the NC Wildlife Resource Commission (NCWRC) and United States Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) staff to discuss the situation. An action plan will be developed with NCWRC and USFWS
and formalized based upon current river conditions, expected rain falls, gauge station data, etc.
The prescribed actions to adjust flow (if any) will be implemented immediately by UP staff.
Generally, if turbidity levels are similar upstream and downstream, flow through Hoosier Dam will
be maintained at a steady rate. If turbidity downstream of Hoosier Dam is significantly higher than
turbidity upstream of the dam, suggesting a mobilization of sediment, flow through the dam will
be gradually reduced (up to 50%) by manipulating the wicket gates and or closing flap gates.
On March 27th, 2017, UP staff pumped accumulated sediments out of the right turbine chamber
in preparation for an inspection of the gates within the chamber. Utilizing a 3" trash pump running
continually for several hours, accumulated sediments within the right chamber were greatly
reduced. Sediments were pumped to a 2 stage check dam which clarified the returning water
3
which was routed back into Reeves Lake. Sediments were seeded in with annual rye and the
check dams were allowed to remain in place to maximize sediment stability. The cleanout of the
right turbine chamber will eliminate unnecessary sediment from entering the river when the right
chamber gates are opened during the dewatering process (if they are needed).
3.3 Mussel Salvage Plan
During drawdown, there is a possibility that the currently inundated side slopes of the valley will be
dewatered too rapidly for mussels within the reservoir to retreat into the lowered water levels. To
ensure that the dewatering does not strand sensitive mussel species a mussel salvage plan has
been created in association with the NCWRC. The NCWRC will accompany UP staff during the
initial stages of dewatering to observe the changing habitat conditions and assess mussel
quantities in the impoundment. The salvage plan in general includes walking the exposed land
and collecting stranded mussels by hand and quickly relocating them back into the Rocky River
in an area upstream or downstream of the lake. The relocation area(s) will be specified by the
NCWRC in the field. Necessary collection permits including a Scientific Collection Permit and a
State Endangered Species Permit, specific to this project, will be obtained by UP staff prior to
mussel salvage.
SECTION 4
TIMING
4 Schedule
Dewatering would ideally commence within the first two weeks of June 2017 which will maximize
the effectiveness of the drawdown from a watershed hydrology perspective. The lowest monthly
baseflows are in June, July, and August with extrapolated flow volumes of 90.6 cfs, 88.1 cfs, and
66.1 cfs, respectively. Refer to pg. 2 of attached Lake Drawdown Memorandum for extrapolated
monthly baseflows at Hoosier Dam (Schnabel Engineering, February 8, 2017). This time frame is
also ideal for aquatic species including mussels and Cape Fear Shiner by avoiding spawning and
reproductive windows.

REGULATORY
5 Regulatory Concurrence
Confirmation of regulatory requirements, or lack thereof, to dewater Reeves Lake per the above
procedure will be obtained from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and NC Division of Water
Resources (NCDWR) prior to initiating dewatering. Additionally, concurrence will also be obtained
from USFWS, NCWRC, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). All the above
agencies are aware of the project, its objectives, and have provided feedback that has shaped
the process described in this document.

COMPANY: Wildlands Engineering, Inc SUBJECT: Lake Drawdown At Rocky River Dam
ADDRESS: 312 West Millbrook Road, Suite 225 PROJECT 17C21002.00
Raleigh, NC 27609 NAME/NO.: Rocky River Dam Removal
FROM: Maridee Romero -Graves, PE CC: John Hutton
INTRODUCTION
In support of an initial drawdown of the reservoir impounded by Rocky River Dam (also known as Hoosier Dam), a
hydrology and hydraulic analysis was performed to determine reservoir drawdown rates for lowering pool elevations as a
first phase for removal of the dam. The analysis was completed using the US Army Corps Hydrologic Model system
(HEC -HMS). The HEC -HMS model was developed to estimate the hydraulic capacity of the dam hydraulic components
and their ability to lower the pool elevation of the lake. It included a tailwater rating curve based upon a Rocky River HEC -
RAS model obtained from Angela Allen with Wildlands Engineering, Inc. on January 16, 2017. The goal is to lower the
lake at approximately 1 ft per day.
This memorandum summarizes the results of the estimated drawdown capacity for the existing powerhouse gates and
turbines at Rocky River Hydroelectric Dam (Hoosier Dam) to support the removal of the concrete dam structure.
Limited data was used for the hydrology and hydraulic analysis presented in this memo. Some of the
limitation/assumptions encounter during the analysis includes:
■ The bathymetry for Rocky River did not extend upstream enough to have a more accurate stage storage curve.
■ LiDAR data was not able to be use for stage storage since the contours near the water line were affected by the
water pool of the reservoir.
■ USGS topography was used to manually estimate the stage storage above normal pool.
■ There was very limited information available for the turbine located in one of the bays of the powerhouse. A rating
curve for the turbine was developed by using the dimensions of the wicket gates provided by the dam operator
and field measurements. According to the calculations, it appears as the opening of the turbine funnel (-r24-
inches in diameter) controls the dewatering flow through the turbine.
■ It was assumed that the two 12 -inch orifices in the powerhouse bay were round, with the same invert elevation
and location as the 24 -inch orifice. In other words, the two 12 -inch orifices were assumed round, horizontal and
with
■ A stream gage upstream of Rocky River Dam was used to determine the baseflow at the dam by using a ratio of
the watersheds. The stream gage upstream of the dam presented twenty seven years of data.
■ No curve number and lag time was determined since at this point in the project, no runoff analysis for various
storm scenarios is required.

HYDROLOGY
Watershed
The watershed drainage area for Rocky River Hydroelectric Dam was delineated in Arc -GIS using USGS Topography
Maps. Based on this delineation, the contributing drainage area is approximately 181.6 square miles. The watershed
delineation map is attached to this document.
Base Flows
The nearest stream gage that could be used to estimate base flows to Rocky River at the dam location is located 31
stream miles upstream of the dam (USGS 0210166029 Rocky River at SR 1300). This stream gage covers a watershed
area of 7.42 square miles with a data record from 1988 to 2015. The mean monthly discharge for each month was
estimated from this record, and then adjusted to mean monthly baseflows at Rocky River Hydroelectric Dam by using a
watershed ratio. The table below shows the mean monthly discharges at the USGS stream gage number 0210166029
and the adjusted mean monthly discharges estimated for Rocky River Dam.

Stage Storage
The stage storage curve for Rocky River Lake was estimated from a bathymetric survey performed by Infinite Land
Design, P.C. on June 19, 2015. This survey does not include the entire Lake. Stage -storage information above normal
pool was estimated using USGS Topographic Maps. However, due to incomplete topographic information, this is a
preliminary stage -storage curve with some uncertainty, and may merit refinement as this projects moves forward.
HYDRAULICS
Hydraulic Components
The run -of -river spillway is 216 feet long with the crest at EI 302.4. The powerhouse is located near the dam right
abutment and contains two bays, one with a turbine (reportedly 1.55MW) and the other is empty where a second turbine
could have been installed. Currently, we do not have information about the turbine except that it has fourteen wicket
gates that could be operated for the lake drawdown operations. According to the dam operator, the wicket gates are 13.5
inches tall with 8 inches in between wicket gates when fully opened. The funnel diameter of the turbine appears to be 24 -
inches in diameter. According to the dam operator, the opening in the floor of the second bay is 24 -inches in diameter
and each bay has also a 12 -inch opening.
No manufacturer information was provided for the turbine, including hydraulic rating curves. A preliminary rating curve for
the openings of the wicket gates/ 24" diameter funnel exit, for the 24 -inch power house bay orifice and the two 12 -inch
orifices was developed in excel. We estimate that the hydraulic control of the turbine system is at the 24 -inch funnel
immediately downstream of the turbine. No hydraulic information (invert elevation, location, shape, etc) was provided for
the two 12 -inch openings located in each of the bays. For hydraulic calculation purposes, it was assumed that the two 12 -
inch orifice are circular located at the same crest of the 24 -inch orifice (EI. 288). The rating curves for both bays were
added to the HEC -HMS model to estimate drawdown.
Tailwater Curve
The presence of tailwater could potentially reduce discharge capacity of the turbine and orifice in the empty bay. A
tailwater rating curve was estimated using the HEC -RAS model for the portion of the Rocky River, downstream of the dam
(obtained from Wildlands Engineering, Inc). The HEC -RAS model includes three scenarios, one for the existing
conditions, one corresponding to the corrected conditions, and one for proposed conditions (dam removed). The
corrected conditions model was used as the basis for the tailwater computations for the reservoir drawdown. The
tailwater model was analyzed as a steady state flow analysis based upon a range of peak flows. The water surface
elevation at the cross section immediately downstream of the dam (XS 30802.4) for the different flows was used as the
tailwater curve for the HEC -HMS model described below. Table 2 shows the tailwater curve generated in HEC -RAS and
included in the HEC -HMS model.

HEC -HMS Model
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers HEC -HMS computer program, version 4.0, was used to estimate the hydrology and
hydraulics of Rocky River Dam and watershed. The watershed area, mean monthly base flows and the stage storage
previously described were included in the model. The lag time and curve number would need to be estimated if
precipitation analysis is necessary for future design.
The existing overflow spillway and water conveyance through the power house was modeled in HEC -HMS. The overflow
spillway section was modeled as a broad -crested spillway with the crest at EI 302.4, wNr length of 216 feet and weir
coefficient of 2.68 ft^0.5/s. The turbine, 24 -in orifice and the two 12 -inch orifices in the power house were included as the
rating curves previously mentioned. The model was then use to determine the rate at which the reservoir will drain by
using the turbine or the 24 -inch orifice or the combination of these two plus the two -12 -inch orifices. Other scenarios
evaluated included enlarging the 24 -inch orifice to 48 -inches or 60 -inches and possible using it in combination with the
turbine.
HEC -HMS results indicate that the 24 -inch opening has the capacity to pass a maximum flow of about 78 cfs, with
discharges slowly decreasing as the lake is lowered. As shown, drawdown is influenced by the estimated mean monthly
baseflow; it may be difficult to lower the pool when baseflows are high. Tables 3 show the rate at which drawdown occurs
depending on the month when operating the 24 -inch orifice only.

flow of 160 cfs, with discharges slowly decreasing as the lake is lowered. As shown, drawdown is influenced by the

The third scenario was also modeled in HEC -HMS. In this scenario we increased the diameter of the 24 -inch orifice to 48 -
inches. Outputs from HEC -HMS shows that the maximum outflow from the 48 -inches orifice is about 300 cfs. Table 8
summarizes drawdown for this scenario.

The fourth scenario was also modeled in HEC -HMS. In this scenario we increased the diameter of the 24 -inch orifice to
48 -inches and used it in combination to the turbine for drawdown. Outputs from HEC -HMS shows that the maximum
outflow from the turbine during drawdown is about 77 cfs while the 48 -inches orifice may pass about 300 cfs. Using this
combination for drawdown we increased the flow capacity to a total of about 380 cfs. Table 9 summarizes drawdown for
this scenario.

Lastly, a scenario was modeled in HEC -HMS where there is no baseflow. In this scenario, an orifice was sized so the rate
of drawdown is 1 -foot per day. It was estimated that the orifice to allow a drawdown of 1-foot/day needs to be
approximately 19 -inches in diameter and release a flow of approximately 50 cfs.
SUMMARY
The results of our analysis indicated that without accounting for baseflow, the required flow rate necessary to drawdown
the lake at 1 -foot per day is about 50 cfs. The 24 -inch orifice and the turbine has a maximum flow capacity of about 80 cfs
each. However, this flow corresponds to a reservoir elevation at normal pool and would decrease as the pool lowers.
Using the 24 -inch orifice, turbine and the two 12 -inch orifices, the maximum flow capacity is 191 cfs.
The drawdown of the reservoir is impacted by the baseflow which fluctuates depending on the month of the year. We
recommend to perform drawdown operations during the month of May through September. However, it is possible that
drawdown operations can be performed during April by increasing the 24 -inch orifice flow capacity. For example,
drawdown during April might be accomplish by increasing the 24 -inch orifice diameter to 48 -inches or inclusive 60 -inches.
In order to drawdown the reservoir at a rate of 1-foot/day (by using the turbine, 24 -inch orifice, 48 -inch orifice or any
combination), we recommend controlling flows by operating the upstream gates.

Rocky River Gates Functions
Rocky River Hydroelectric Dam (Hoosier Dam) is a low hazard (according to NC Dam Safety), run of the river dam with a
structural height of approximately 25 feet and a total length of 435 feet. The North Carolina ID number is CHATH-010 and
the National Inventory of Dams number is NC00623. The dam is located approximately five miles south of Pittsboro, NC
on the Rocky River. The majority of the dam structure consists of an un -controlled (no gates) concrete spillway. In
addition to the concrete spillway, there is a powerhouse located near the right abutment of the dam. The powerhouse has
two turbine bays, separated by a concrete wall. The left side turbine bay houses a Francis turbine. The right side turbine
bay is configured similar to the left side turbine bay except a turbine was never installed.
Left Side Turbine Bay Gates:
The left side turbine bay contains three gates:
• 12 -feet wide by 14 -feet tall vertical lift head gate;
• 12 -inch -diameter floor drain with flap gate; and,
• Wicket gates on the turbine.
A 12 -feet wide by 14 -feet tall vertical -lift head gate is located on the upstream side of the left turbine bay just downstream
of the trashrack. The function of the head gate is to allow de -watering of the turbine bay for maintenance of the turbine
and associated items located in the turbine bay downstream of the head gate. A 12 -inch -diameter floor drain with a flap
valve (see Figure 1 for an example of a flap gate) is located downstream of the head gate. Its function is to drain leakage
into the turbine bay while the bay is de -watered. The wicket gates are located on the turbine assembly (see Figure 2 for
an example of wicket gates for a Kaplan Turbine). The function of the wicket gates is to allow water into the turbine to
generate electricity. The wicket gates can also be used to drain the turbine bay when the head gate is closed.

Right Side Turbine Bay Gates:
The right side turbine bay contains three gates:
• 12 -feet wide by 14 -feet tall head gate;
• 12 -inch -diameter floor drain with flap gate; and,
• 24 -inch diameter floor opening for installation of a turbine with a flap gate.
A 12 -feet wide by 14 -feet tall vertical -lift head gate is located on the upstream side of the right turbine bay just
downstream of the trashrack. The function of the head gate is to allow de -watering of the turbine bay for maintenance of
the turbine (if one was installed) and associated items located in the turbine bay downstream of the head gate. Since the
turbine in the right bay was never installed, the head gate serves no operational function. The head gate has not been
maintained and has deteriorated to the point that it is no longer functional as the gate i.e. it cannot hold back water.
Similar to the left bay, a 12 -inch -diameter floor drain with a flap valve is located downstream of the head gate. Its intended
function is to drain leakage into the turbine bay while the bay is de -watered. A 24 -inch -diameter orifice with a flap gate is
located on the floor of the right turbine bay. The function of the orifice is for installation of a second turbine and the flap
gate prevents water from flowing through the orifice without a turbine installed.
In the past, the gates through the powerhouse have been used as a low level outlet to drain the reservoir for maintenance
activities. Since the discharge capacity of the gates through the powerhouse are small compared to inflows, draining the
reservoir through the powerhouse can only be accomplished during the dry months of the year. The gates have not been
used as part of the spillway system for passing inflows into the reservoir, and their capacity when compared to the
capacity of the uncontrolled spillway is negligible.

Hoosier Dam Removal Project
W Tier 1 Sediment Evaluation
Section 1: Introduction
The Hoosier Dam is a 94 -year-old hydroelectric dam located on the Rocky River 5 % miles upstream of its
confluence with the Deep River in Chatham County, North Carolina. The dam is being proposed for
removal as part of a National Fish and Wildlife Foundation grant to restore the Rocky River from its
currently impounded state back to a free flowing (lotic) state. The removal of the Hoosier Dam will open
up 18,138 linear feet of habitat between two critical habitat areas for the endangered Cape Fear shiner.
The impounded reach behind the Hoosier Dam, referred to as Reeves Lake, backwaters 16,060 linear
feet within the Rocky River and 2,078 linear feet within its six perennial tributaries. There is a sediment
wedge located in the impoundment spanning approximately 1,030 linear feet upstream of the dam and
across the width of the channel with an approximate volume of 15,250 CY.
A Tier 1 evaluation was performed to identify potential sources of pollution in and around Reeves Lake
and determine the likelihood of contamination in the sediments stored behind the dam. The perimeter
of evaluation was set at 1 -mile surrounding the Reeves Lake impoundment and extended upstream to
Siler City in regards to direct discharge. The evaluation yielded no potential sources of contaminants
within the 1 -mile radius of Reeves Lake. The only potential source beyond that is the wastewater
treatment plant in Siler City, 18.3 miles upstream. There have been no reports of violations or spills from
the treatment plant on record. US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) determined that, based on the
results of the Teir 1 evaluation, there is little to no potential of contamination of the sediment behind
the dam (see attached correspondence). However, due to the volume of sediment within the wedge and
the volume of highly mobile sediment, a detailed sediment management plan is necessary.
Unique Places (project manager), and Wildlands Engineering (project engineer) met with USFWS on
October 5, 2017, in consultation with the NC Wildlife Resource Commission (WRC). It was USFWS
preference for Unique Places to submit this sediment management plan with two management options:
(1) mechanical removal of the sediment wedge, and (2) allowing natural sediment pulsing downstream
post removal. Final management decisions will be made based on health and lifecycle considerations of
the Cape Fear shiner and several sensitive mussels within the trail race of the dam.
Hoosier Dam Removal Project
W Tier 1 Sediment Evaluation
Section 2: Characterization of Sediment Wedge
The Tier 1 Sediment Evaluation described in Section 1 explained the detailed methods used to
determine the quantity and location of the sediment wedge upstream of the Hoosier Dam. The
sediment wedge starts approximately 1,000 feet upstream of the dam (elevation 283 ft), peaking at 500
feet upstream of the dam (elevation 288 ft.) and gradually decreasing in the downstream direction (tail
elevation 280 ft.). The crest of the sediment wedge is at the approximate elevation of the outlet
structure. This shape indicates that stormflows create a back eddy against the dam, churning up
sediment within the wedge at the base of the dam, entraining it in the water column, and flushing it
from the system. The approximate volume of sediment in the wedge is 15,250 CY.
Several methods were used in attempts to sample and characterize the texture of material in the
sediment wedge prior to dewatering the impoundment (See Tier 1 Evaluation). However, no method
could penetrate more than a foot into the wedge. The impoundment was dewatered between June and
August 2017 to expose the top of the sediment wedge and to provide equipment access for mechanical
sampling. On September 15, 2017, an excavator was used to sample the wedge until the depth of refusal
at three locations (Figure 1). The depth to refusal was used to estimate the future bed elevation post
dam removal. Samples were collected and sent to a laboratory to be analyzed to determine the
percentages of fine material (clay and silt) within the highly mobile material of the wedge (excluding
large cobbles). Large cobbles were recovered during mechanical sampling, however they were not
included in the laboratory analysis. Cobbles are considered inert, part of the native bed material, and
not a threat to downstream fish and mussel habitats during transport. Results, summarized in the table
below, show that between 38 and 66 percent of the material in the wedge is fine consolidated
sediment.

Sediment samples were also collected upstream and downstream of the impoundment to characterize
the native bed material within the Rocky River and determine if bed composition changed upstream
and/or downstream of the dam as a result of the dam impounding bedload (Figure 1). Pebble counts
were used to characterize the top layer of riffle material at each sampling location. It was determined
that, though the spread of size classes is similar, there is a component of gravel and cobble that is
lacking downstream of the dam. This indicates the dam had been acting as a barrier to sediment
transport of larger gravels and cobbles. In comparing the pebble counts to the bulk sampling of the
sediment wedge, the mean particle sizes in the sediment wedge are less than those sampled in the
upstream and downstream riffles. (sediment sample and pebble count data is located in the Appendix).

Sediment Management Plan
Section 3: Potential Channel Response to Dam Removal: Review of
Literature
3.1 Dispersion vs. Translation
There are two primary mechanisms explaining the pulse behavior of a sediment wedge after the
removal of a dam: dispersion and translation. For dispersive pulses, the sediment from the wedge is
mobilized and travels downstream both with baseflow and flow events, gradually decreasing the size of
the wedge over time (Pace et al., 2017). For translational pulses, the entire wedge gradually moves
downstream with the apex and each edge moving downstream at uniform rates (Lisle et al., 2001). The
greatest predictor of pulse mechanics as described by Pace et. al. (2017) is the Froude number within
the channel. If the Froude number is greater than 0.4, dispersion will be the primary mechanism.
A HEC -RAS model was developed for the Hoosier Dam removal proposed conditions and run at various
flowrates. Results of Froude number analysis indicated that dispersion will be process by which
sediment is moved from the wedge. At flowrates approximating winter baseflows (approximately 370
cfs, six times higher than summer flows), the Froude number is at 0.5. This indicates that dispersion of
the sediment wedge may occur seasonally (during high winter flows), and during storm events
throughout the year. The results of the sediment sampling, discussed in the previous section, also
indicate the composition of the sediment wedge is finer than that of the native bed material, which is a
secondary indicator that dispersion will be the primary transport mechanism (Pace et. al., 2017).
3.2 Channel Evolution Model
The most prevalent theory of sediment mobilization, dispersion, and channel adjustment following dam
removal, is one that follows Simon and Hupp's (1996) channel evolution model (CEM) (Doyle et al.,
2002, Cantelli et.al., 2004). After dam removal, on rivers where the wedge is comprised predominantly
of fine consolidated sediment, a pilot channel forms creating a thalweg through the old reservoir. This
thalweg will incise to the elevation of the old river bed (Cantelli et. al., 2004). The channel will eventually
widen to dimensions similar to those upstream and downstream of the dam, aggradation may occur to
form new streambanks, and the channel will settle into a quasi -equilibrium (Doyle et. al., 2002). The
erosion rates are generally two -phased: (1) rapid initial erosion driven by dam removal (approximately
50% wedge volume), and (2) erosion over time dependent on flood events (approximately 50% wedge
volume (Pearson et. al., 2011, Collins et.al., 2017). The initial incision often occurs within several days to
months; however, the continued adjustments are gradual over a 5+ year process with levels of head -
cutting having slowed by year four (Wildman and Macbroom 2005, Pearson et.al. 2011, Collins et.al.,
2017). Any deposition downstream of dispersed sediments is generally temporary and tends to be along
streambanks and channel margins (Doyle et.al., 2003, Wildman and Macbroom 2005, Collins et.al.,
2017). In a study of the Elwha Dam removal in Washington, 90% of sediment that eroded from the
sediment wedge passed through the downstream river reaches without aggradation (Warrick et.al.
2015). Sediment left within old reservoirs tends to form terraces that maintain their stability after the
new channel is formed (Doyle et. al., 2002, Doyle et.al., 2003, Wildman and Macbroom, 2005, Randle
et.al., 2015).
WHoosier Dam Removal Project
Sediment Management Plan
Section 4: Conclusions
Based on the data collected, current site conditions post -dewatering of the impoundment, HEC -RAS
modeling of proposed conditions, and a review of the literature, Wildlands concludes the likeliest form
of channel adjustment for the Rocky River post -dam removal (with no mechanical removal) would be an
initial pulse of sediment dispersed downstream of the fine sediment in the top -most layer
(approximately one foot thick) of the sediment wedge, followed by a gradual incision and widening of
the channel to dimensions similar to upstream and downstream sections (Wildman and Macbroom,
2005). The degree to which the initial incision occurs may depend on the baseflow at the time of
removal (Pace et.al., 2017). There may be temporary aggradation along channel margins downstream
post-removal, but they would flush with episodic events.
There is little in the literature about the temporary effects on downstream reaches resulting from
mechanical removal of sediment. While the coarse sediment would mostly be removed, a portion of the
fine sediment would be mobilized during mechanical removal and would move downstream, similar to
dispersive pulses described in Section 3. The volume or percentage of the wedge material that would be
mobilized is unknown.
As the impoundment drew down, floodplain terraces have formed on the Rocky River out of sediment
deposited in the valley over time. Some areas of the terraces are forming into new flood fringe
wetlands. These terraces are stable, and are unlikely to contribute erosive sediment downstream.
Wildlands recommends disturbing these as little as possible.
Whether the sediment is mechanically removed or allowed to stabilize itself overtime, the system is
likely to recover within a few years, providing new extensive habitat areas for the Cape Fear shiner and
various sensitive mussel species. The decision on which approach to take should not significantly affect
the final channel stability or geomorphology. The decision should be based on the temporary stress that
can be withstood by local fauna. The following sections present two protocols for sediment
management on site. Protocol 1 is for mechanical removal of the sediment wedge within the active
channel, and Protocol 2 is for natural sediment pulsing. The final protocol used during removal will be
that chosen by USFWS as part of their Biological Opinion for the project.
Section 5: Sediment Management Protocol 1: Removal
If USFWS determines that sediment must be removed from the impoundment prior to dam removal,
mechanical equipment will be used from the project banks to remove sediment from the channel. A
proposed longitudinal profile has been created for the river bed underneath the sediment wedge and
through the dam cross-section. This elevation will be at the estimated historic bed elevation. Sediment
will be removed until the proposed bed elevation is reached, or stable bedforms comprised of bedrock,
cobble, and gravel are exposed.
WHoosier Dam Removal Project 4
Sediment Management Plan
Sediment removed from the channel will be placed in an upland area on the project site outside of the
limits of the regulated floodplain and any jurisdictional wetland features. Sediment deposited in upland
areas will be stabilized according to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality — Division
of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (NCDEQ-DEMLR) Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and
Design Manual guidelines and in accordance with the Erosion and Sediment Control permit for the
project.
The river banks and bed will be stabilized where sediment is removed using a combination of grade
control structures, habitat structures, and bioengineering. River banks will be seeded with temporary
and permanent seeding. During the dormant season, banks will be planted with livestakes and other
riparian species to improve bank stability and overall stream habitat conditions.
The site will be monitored throughout the construction process with the same protocols as those
followed in the dewatering plan. Based on input from The NC Wildlife Resource Commission (NCWRC)
and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) a maximum threshold of 50 NTUs for turbidity will be
adhered to during the construction process. Turbidity monitoring will occur daily during construction
and extend two weeks following the completion of construction. The turbidity sampling point will be
located approximately 100 feet downstream of the power facility on the right bank of the river. If
turbidity approaches the 50 NTU threshold, active sediment removal will cease and Unique Places, LLC
(UP) and/or Wildlands Engineering, Inc (Wildlands) staff will immediately contact the NCWRC and
USFWS staff to discuss the situation. An action plan will be developed with NCWRC and USFWS and
formalized based upon current river conditions, expected rain falls, gauge station data, etc. The
prescribed actions will be implemented immediately by the Contractor.
Section 6: Sediment Management Protocol 2: Sediment Pulsing
If FWS determines that mechanical removal of sediment is not required, material from the sediment
wedge will be pulsed downstream during and after construction. During dam removal, the dam will first
be removed down to the elevation of the powerhouse's wicket gate invert (approximately 14.5 vertical
feet removed). This is the current elevation of the crest of the sediment wedge, and the elevation to
which the impoundment was dewatered prior to dam removal. Then it will be gradually removed below
that in vertical sections over the course of a month.
The turbidity monitoring protocol will be the same as discussed in Section 5. Adaptive management will
be used, in consultation with USFWS and NCWRC, to determine if alterations in the dam removal
sequence need to be made to maintain turbidity levels under 50 NTUs, such as a gradual notching of the
dam to allow the system to stabilize. Episodic events during construction temporarily increasing the
turbidity is not a concern during this project, however sustained levels of increase turbidity would
trigger adaptive management protocols.

Good morning,
Thank you for sending the October 2017 Sediment Management Plan for the Hoosier Dam Removal Project. The plan
provides valuable follow-up to the October 5th site visit in its summary of the sediment composition, estimates of
volume, and evaluation and discussion of anticipated post -dam -removal sediment behavior under two sediment
management options. Those two options are mechanical removal of the sediment wedge before removal, or allowing
natural sediment pulsing downstream after removal.
We favor the natural pulsing alternative through the following rationale from the field visit and the follow-up report:
Section 2 indicates the shape and small volume of the sediment wedge reflect that storms flows churn up sediment
and flush it from the system (The volume of sediments in the area proposed for dredging appears small compared to
what the system is routinely processing).
Section 4 indicates fine materials are expected to move either way and to continue moving through the system with
storm flows.
• It's uncertain whether the existing channel where dredging would occur under the removal option will remain the
active channel upon dam removal. That area contains tree trunks which were likely outside the historic channel.
Therefore the path of water now may be an artifact of sedimentation since impoundment. We're concerned that
disturbance of the consolidated sediments at that location (including access, dredging, and stump and root removal) will
make the area less stable and therefore more erodible after dam removal. It is also possible that the thalweg may shift
upon dam removal to a path without the tree stumps making disturbance of this area unnecessary.
The anticipated recovery time under either option is estimated at a few years. We've anticipated that there may be
short term physical impacts to gain the longer term biological uplift of the removal.
Pulsing versus dredging expedites the next steps in the project which has this far befitted from an efficient draw
down.
There is of course uncertainty in the extent of sediment movement downstream and through the system. We encourage
some consideration of the potential to remove accumulated sediment in high quality habitats that may become areas of
accumulation instead of areas where sediments pass further downstream. One consideration is that sediment removal
at the base of the dam, if deemed valuable after dam removal, would have the benefit of work in an area of active
deconstruction (the former dam footprint) rather than undisturbed upstream habitat. There may be additional high
quality habitats that could benefit from some sediment removal post dam removal - this is just a contingency to consider
to remove sediments if they cause a concern of accumulation in high quality habitat.
Please give us a call or email if there are any questions about our response. We have coordinated internally with
contaminant biologists and species experts, and we have also discussed the plan with the NC Wildlife Resources
Commission. We would be glad to meet with you and other stakeholders again on-site if that helps.
Thanks,
Sarah McRae

DATE: August 29, 2017
SUBJECT: Hoosier Dam Removal
Unique Places seeks to end hydroelectric power generation and remove Hoosier Dam located on the
Rocky River in Chatham County, North Carolina. Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) are familiar with this dam removal project and the aquatic resources of the Rocky
River.
There are populations of the federally listed (Endangered) Cape Fear Shiner, Notropis mekistocholas, in
the Rocky River upstream and downstream of Hoosier Dam. The Rocky River also has robust
populations of freshwater mussels upstream and downstream of Hoosier Dam. Removing Hoosier Dam
will return the impounded river to a riverine environment, reconnect aquatic communities that are
currently separated by Hoosier Dam, and reconnect two currently disparate sections of Critical Habitat.
NCWRC biologists have been involved in plans to dewater the impoundment, assess sediment deposition
within the impoundment, and ultimately remove the powerhouse and dam to return the site to a riverine
condition. The NCWRC supports removing Hoosier Dam and the powerhouse in accordance with
applicable federal and state permits.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this dam removal project. If I can be of further
assistance, please contact me at (919) 284-5218 or vann.stancilkncwildlife.org.

Subject: Support for the Hoosier Dam Removal Project on the Rocky River, in Chatham County, North
Carolina
Dear Secretary Bose,
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) Raleigh Ecological Services Field Office has been an active
participant alongside the applicant and many other federal and state agencies in coordinating the proposed
removal of Hoosier Dam and associated powerhouse structure (formerly known as Woody's Mill Dam),
on the Rocky River in Chatham County, North Carolina. The Service is supportive of the applicant's
conservation -minded proposal for restoring this reach of the Rocky River to its naturally flowing, un -
impounded state through well -studied actions and the appropriate permitting processes, which will
ultimately result in an environment conducive for state and federally important species.
The Service has focused our comments and suggestions during this process on topics pursuant to the
Endangered Species Act. This reach of the Rocky River is very important to the federally endangered
fish, the Cape Fear Shiner (Notropi.s tnekistacholas), and actions that restore natural, rocky, free flowing
conditions will benefit this fish and its designated critical habitat. The Service has been involved in
reviewing the project to ensure that impacts to the Cape Fear Shiner are avoided where possible, and then
minimized appropriately at every step of the project to date and will continue to do so through the
permitting process. The removal of the dam and powerhouse structure will benefit the integrity and
function of the Rocky River, and the removal is well aligned with the overarching goal of enhancing the
recovery of the Cape Fear Shiner.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to provide support for projects that benefit federally listed or
proposed species. The proposed project benefits a federally listed species, and the degree of applicant -
agency coordination lends confidence to its success. If you have further questions please do not hesitate
to contact Emily Wells of our office by e-mail at Emily_Wells@fws.gov, or by phone at 919-8564520 x

Subject: Access to property for removal of crib dam
Shayna,
It was great talking to you just now. As I said we are attempting to remove the small rock and earth crib dam that is in the
Rocky River just below your property at 418 THOMAS MILL DR.
The easiest access to this dam would be through your property. I walked the property with Dominick Treadwell and there
is already an old road from the driveway cutting through the trees to the river shore so no trees will have to be
removed. At the river banks we might have to remove one or two small trees but we would keep that impact minimal.
We would need to drive an excavator down the driveway and down this old road to access the river. There should not
be any impact to your property but if there should be we would restore it to a current or improved state.
The work is expected to take 1 or 2 days. Attached is a plan of what we are proposing.
What I need from you as the property owner is approval in writing to access your property for these purposes.
Thanks for taking the time to work with us.
Kind Regards,

Stream grading; channel grading and material spoiling will follow the general notes below in addition to directions
outlined in the specifications.
General Construction Notes for All Reaches
1. All erosion and sediment control practices shall comply with the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control
Planning and Design Manual.
2. No material excavated from the Rocky River may be spoiled within the regulated floodplain area.
3. In grading the Rocky River, Contractor shall disturb only as much channel bank as can be stabilized with
temporary seeding, mulch, and a sod mat or erosion control matting by the end of each work day.
4. Clearing and grubbing activities shall not extend more than 150 linear feet ahead of in -stream work.
5. All graded areas with slopes steeper than 3:1 will be stabilized within seven (7) working days. All other areas
will be stabilized within 14 working days.
6. Locations for staging and stockpile areas and temporary stream crossings have been provided on the Plans.
Additional or alternative staging and/or stockpile areas and stream crossings may be used by the Contractor
provided that all practices comply with the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design
Manual and that the areas are approved by the Engineer prior to implementation.
7. Contractor is to make every effort to avoid damaging or removing existing trees.
8. Under no circumstances will the Contractor exceed the limits of disturbance as shown on the Plans.
Initial Site Preparation
1. Contact North Carolina "One Call" Center (1.800.632.4949) before any excavation.
2. Contact Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (919-791-4200) before any work begins on the
project and notify them of the start date.
3. Mobilize equipment and materials to the Site.
4. Identify and establish construction entrance, staging and stockpile areas, haul roads, silt fence, tree
protection fencing, and temporary stream crossings as indicated on the Plans for work areas.
5. All haul roads shall be monitored for sediment loss daily. In the event of sediment loss, silt fence or other
acceptable sediment and erosion control practices shall be installed. Silt fence outlets shall be located at
points of low elevation or a minimum spacing of 150 ft.
6. Set up temporary facilities, locate equipment within the staging area, and stockpile materials needed for the
initial stages of construction within the stockpile area(s).
7. Install and maintain an onsite rain gauge and log book to record the rainfall amounts and dates. Complete
the self -inspection as required by NCDEQ permit.
HOOSIER DAM REMOVAL
For instructions on the removal of Hoosier Dam, please see Sheets 1.1-1.4 and corresponding specifications.
Existing Features
ROCKY RIVER CHANNEL GRADING
8. Grading along the Rocky River includes the removal of the sediment wedge created by the Hoosier Dam
within the active channel. The profile for the river is approximate and based on best available knowledge of
the streambed slopes upstream and downstream and mechanical borings of depth to bedrock. The actual
depth to bedrock along the entire proposed surface may vary greatly from what is proposed. If this is the
case, the sediments should be excavated down to the depth of refusal or presence of coarse bed material,
and banks graded back at a minimum 3(H):1(V) slope to the tie-in point on the existing surface.
9. All graded streambanks will be matted with erosion control matting per detail.
10. Seed (with specified temporary seed and permanent seed mix) and straw mulch areas where the coir fiber
matting is to be installed.
11. Install coir fiber matting according to plans and specifications.
12. Seed floodplain with specified temporary and permanent seed mix and mulch.
13. Install livestakes and herbaceous plugs along the stream banks and bare root trees within the floodplain,
according to the plans and specifications.
Crib Dam Removal:
14. Remove rocks from crib dam according to design on plan sheets.
15. Rocks may be used as toe stabilization along streambanks within the limits of disturbance.
16. No material may be spoiled within the regulated floodplain limits.
Construction Demobilization
17. Remove temporary stream crossings.
18. The Contractor shall ensure that the site is free of trash and leftover materials prior to demobilization of
equipment from the site.
19. Complete the removal of any additional stockpiled material from the site.
20. Demobilize grading equipment from the site.
21. All areas outside the grading areas shall be returned to pre -project conditions or better.
22. Seed, mulch, and stabilize staging areas, stockpile areas, haul roads, and construction entrances.
