The former impoundment included 126,673 linear feet of affected stream reaches that extended throughout portions of Lee, Chatham, and Moore Counties, North Carolina. This evaluation was performed to document any evidence of erosion within the former impoundment including but not limited to bank failure, loss of stream bank trees, severe head-cuts, and the loss or gain of large depositional features. HISTORY The North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) Section 401 permit condition #9 associated with the removal of the Carbonton Dam Deep River Restoration Site requires that a "survey [of] the present lake bed and its flooded tributaries [shall occur] at least every two weeks (bi-weekly) or within three days of a rain more than or equal to one inch at Moncure, NC." In order to satisfy permit condition #9, Restoration Systems, LLC (RS) authorized EcoScience Corporation (ESC) to conduct weather related erosion evaluations within the former Carbonton Impoundment (ESC Proposal P06-003 January 13, 2006). As described in detail within this memorandum, RS and ESC collected historical weather information that suggested that the permit condition requested by NCDWQ presents several logistical difficulties. First, no USGS river gauge is present near Carbonton, NC. No publicly available or trustworthy real-time weather data are available in or around Carbonton, NC. The nearest weather station to Carbonton is located in Sanford, NC. Second, ESC believes that using rainfall from one weather station from within the 215-square mile watershed is not properly indicative of increased river stage conditions within the former impoundment. Thus, ESC has investigated and developed a new method for determining when a field evaluation should be performed. In preparation for these evaluations, ESC has collected two years of nearly continuous daily precipitation and river stage data. If the permit condition #9 remains as stated, then more than 20 field evaluations would have been required during the period for which ESC collected the correlated rain/river stage data. It is important to note that many of the one inch rain events do not have a corresponding rise in river stage. Since the perceived purpose of the NCDWQ permit condition is to evaluate the former impoundment after increased river stage to monitor for erosion, then a one inch rainfall event is not the best indicator for the initiation of a site visit. Isolated thunderstorms can EcoScience Corporation July 21, 2006 Mr. George Howard Page 2 of 6 RE: Former Carbonton Dam Erosion Evaluation Number 1 produce large amounts of precipitation in a localized area, without contributing significant rain to the overall watershed. To monitor multiple weather stations in real-time throughout the watershed to identify a regional precipitation event is time consuming and not practicable. ESC has observed on Figure 1 that the greater than or equal to one-inch rain events that generate a corresponding rise in river stage appear to result in a river stage increase to at least 1500 cubic feet per second (cfs). Thus, ESC proposes to use the correlation between large, regional rain events that cause more than a 1500 cfs reading at the Ramseur gaging station to be the "initiation threshold" for a field evaluation. ESC estimates that this initiation threshold will occur after a river stage rise equal to ten percent of bankfull. METHODS Following an approximate 2.5-inch rainfall event that occurred in the upstream watershed, a peak in river stage of over 2400 cubic feet per second (cfs) was recorded at the USGS Ramseur river gage on April 27, 2006 (Figure 1). Once the 1500 cfs initiation threshold requiring an erosion evaluation was exceeded, ESC monitored the river stage until the river stage fell below the safe evaluation threshold of 1000 cfs, which occurred on April 28, 2006. ESC personnel performed the erosion evaluations on May 1 and 2, 2006. The activities on May 1 included observation points along the main stem of the Deep River and at accessible points along tributaries that comprised the former site impoundment,. The activities on May 2 included a survey assessment of the substrate bar located between NC42 and the former dam location within the Deep River. The duties carried out on May 1 were required to be completed within within a 72 hour period of April 28. ESC expects to continue using these methods for future evaluations of greater than 1500 cfs river stage event.s RIVER TRANSIT EROSION EVALUATION A two-person team performed a twelve-mile canoe transit of the Deep River. The point of ingress was the Glendon Carthage Road bridge and the point of egress was the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission boat ramp (Figure 2). The team stopped at the mouth of all credited tributaries as described in the Mitigation Plan (Restoration Systems 2006) as well as at points along the river where notable conditions occurred. At each observation point, GPS data was collected for the location, photography and/or videography was taken, and notes where recorded to describe the condition. River Observation Point 1 River Observation Point 1 is located on the Deep River just below the Glendon Carthage bridge crossing (Figure 2). The observation point occurs up stream of the limits of the credited stream channel but is included because of the significant volume of bank material that has eroded into the channel. The bank failure begins approximately 20 feet up from waters edge and has eroded approximately 3 feet downward (Photo 1). River Observation Point 2 River Observation Point 2 is located near Monitoring Station 12 at the confluence of the Deep River and an unnamed tributary (Figure 2). The observation point occurs upstream of the limits of the credited stream channel, but is included due to the impact of the storm event on a sand bar located in the outside bend of the Deep River. Stormflow eroded significant portions of the sand bar and EcoScience Corporation July 21, 2006 Mr. George Howard Page 3 of 6 RE: Former Carbonton Dam Erosion Evaluation Number 1 up-rooted herbaceous and woody vegetation leaving behind depression pools and bare soil (Photo 2). River Observation Point 3 River Observation Point 3 is located near Monitoring Station 11 at the confluence of the Deep River and an unnamed tributary (Figure 2). Minor bank erosion has occurred within the unnamed tributary and a minor head-cut has developed at the confluence with the Deep River. Streamflow has eroded down through the deposited silt sediments of the former impoundment and developed a more incised channel. The removal of the silt material has uncovered a coarser substrate below (Photo 3). River Observation Point 4 River Observation Point 4 is located just downstream of the Norfolk-Southern rail bridge on the Deep River (Figure 2) and is important because of the severe erosion and loss of bank material that was observed. River flow is concentrated in the middle bridge span due to rock and debris constrictions on either side of the river. The concentrated flow discharges towards the outside bank of the river, resulting in significant erosion in high flow events. Following the storm event, the bank at this location was nearly vertical with some areas of exposed bedrock (Photo 4). This erosion feature has not changed since a review of the impoundment in December 2005, which suggests that the feature has eroded to bed rock and may have stabilized. River Observation Point 5 River Observation Point 5 is located on the Deep River at the confluence with Lick Creek (Figure 2). Bank erosion was not an issue at the confluence and there was no evidence of the formation of a head-cut. Scouring of the silt material within Lick Creek has uncovered a courser substrate below (Photo 5). River Observation Point 6 River Observation Point 6 is located on the Deep River at the confluence with McClendon's Creek (Figure 2). No erosion or bank failures could be seen from the confluence and the majority of the banks remained well vegetated following the rise in storm flow (Photo 6). River Observation Point 7 River Observation Point 7 is located on the Deep River at the confluence with Big Governors Creek (Figure 2). No erosion or bank failures could be seen from the confluence and the majority of the banks remained well vegetated following the rise in storm flow. A few areas at waters edge showed signs of scour but the majority of the bank material appeared stable and still intact (Photo 7). River Observation Point 8 River Observation Point 8 is located near Monitoring Station 5 at the confluence of the Deep River and an unnamed tributary (Figure 2). A significant head-cut was observed at this confluence and is depicted in Picture 9. The channel of the unnamed tributary is approximately 6 feet above the level of the Deep River and the head-cut is slowly carving into the tributary to reduce the difference. The tributary has very steep banks but no erosion or bank failures were observed. A layer of sediment remains in the channel (Photos 8-9). EcoScience Corporation July 21, 2006 Mr. George Howard Page 4 of 6 RE: Former Carbonton Dam Erosion Evaluation Number 1 River Observation Point 9 River Observation Point 9 is located on the Deep River at the confluence with an unnamed tributary on the Knight Cattle Corporation property (Figure 2). A large head-cut is present at the confluence and severe erosion of the banks was observed. Vegetation is lacking along the banks of the unnamed tributary and sloughing of bank material is a problem here. Banks are steep and incised. Sediment material within the unnamed tributary covers any coarse material below and the addition of eroded bank material adds to the silty layer (see Knight Video). River Observation Point 10 River Observation Point 10 is located on the Deep River at the confluence with an unnamed tributary (Figure 2). A steep head-cut was observed at this confluence with significant bank failures. The height difference between the unnamed tributary and the Deep River is approximately four feet. Vegetation along the tributary banks is well established but at the knick point of the head-cut, no vegetation has been able to establish. Erosion and sediment transfer will continue until the tributary matches the height of the Deep River (Photos 10-12). River Observation Point 11 River Observation Point 11 is located on the Deep River at the confluence with an unnamed tributary (Figure 2) near Monitoring Station 27. Moderate erosion was experienced here as a result of the high storm flow and loss of bank material was observed. A head-cut has formed at the confluence and sediment transport through the tributary has deepened the existing channel (Photo 13). River Observation Point 12 River Observation Point 12 is located on the Deep River at the confluence with an unnamed tributary (Figure 2). A large head-cut has formed at the confluence and bank failure on the right bank of the tributary has resulted in steep, incised banks. Lack of vegetation on the banks of the confluence has advanced the transport and erosion of bank material (Photo 14). River Observation Point 13 River Observation Point 13 is located on the Deep River at the confluence with an unnamed tributary (Figure 2) near Monitoring Station 2. The banks of the tributary at the confluence are very steep and two head-cuts have formed. The larger head-cut has extended approximately 20 feet upstream from the confluence and a second, smaller head-cut has formed at the confluence. Significant erosion has occurred here and sediment transport has deepened the existing channel (Photo 15). River Observation Point 14 River Observation Point 14 is located on the Deep River at the confluence with an unnamed tributary (Figure 2) near Monitoring Station 23. The banks at the confluence are very steep and highly eroded, with little to no vegetation. A large head-cut has extended approximately 15 feet into the tributary, moving sediment out to the Deep River (Photo 16). River Observation Point 15 River Observation Point 16 is located on the Deep River at the confluence with Line Creek (Figure EcoScience Corporation July 21, 2006 Mr. George Howard Page 5 of 6 RE: Former Carbonton Dam Erosion Evaluation Number 1 2). The south facing bank of the confluence was well vegetated but had a large separation of bank material towards the Deep River. The opposite bank lacked vegetation and had minor erosion. Banks within Line Creek are deeply incised and sediment material washed from the channel has accumulated at the confluence (Photo 17). LAND TRANSIT EROSION EVALUATION A two-person team reviewed as many credited tributaries during the daylight hours as possible at public road crossings and at properties for which Restoration Systems has secured access. Either a 500 foot reach or 20 bankfull widths of each credited tributary were evaluated at each stop, which ever was greater. Some long-term monitoring stations were visited that were not on credited reaches to compare conditions to previous visits in order to further describe the extent of the flooding event. At each observation point, GPS data was collected for the location, photography was taken, and notes where recorded to describe the condition. Land Observation Point 1 Land Observation Point 1 was taken at the crossing of Carbonton Road and Line Creek, a credited tributary to the Deep River (Figure 2). Signs of increased flow were apparent however no significant erosion conditions were observed. Sediment deposition was observed within the adjacent floodplain on leaves and vegetation near the ground surface (Photo 18 and Photo 19). Beaver activity and debris upstream of the road crossing resulted in a water table height increase that slowly returned to baseflow elevation without significant flow velocity (Photo 20). Land Observation Point 2 Land Observation Point 2 was taken at Monitoring Station 45 near the crossing of Cool Springs Road and McClendons Creek (Figure 2). This section of McClendons Creek is a non-credited section but was visited to compare the stream condition that was observed the previous week during monitoring station sampling. Stormflow appears to have been at or near bankfull however there were no signs of significant bank failure observed. A moderate layer of fine sediment was observed on streamside vegetation signifying some erosion/sedimentation in the upstream watershed (Photo 21). Stream channel structure (rock, coarse woody debris, bank trees, etc.) and composition resembled the condition observed during monitoring station sampling the previous week. Land Observation Point 3 Land Observation Point 3 was taken at Monitoring Station 47 near the crossing of Glendon Carthage Road and McClendon's Creek, a credited tributary to the Deep River (Figure 2). As expected, signs of more significant stormflow were apparent at Land Observation Point 3 in comparison to Land Observation Point 2 located further upstream on McClendon's Creek. Stormflow appears to have been at or over bankfull however there were no signs of significant bank failure observed. A moderate layer of fine sediment was observed on streamside and floodplain vegetation signifying erosion/sedimentation in the upstream watershed (Photo 22). Land Observation Point 4 Land Observation Point 4 was taken at Monitoring Station 40 near the crossing of Steel Bridge Road and Little Governer's Creek, a credited tributary to the Deep River (Figure 2). This section of Little Governer's Creek received significant stormflow with overbank flooding apparent in multiple EcoScience Corporation July 21, 2006 Mr. George Howard Page 6 of 6 RE: Former Carbonton Dam Erosion Evaluation Number 1 locations. Sedimentation on leaves and debris within the floodplain was observed over 60 feet from the stream (Photo 23). Some sections of the bank that were exposed following the dewatering of the impoundment have begun to slough downslope toward the current lotic water level (Figure 4 and Photo 24-26). However, with the exception of the occasional migration of these bank sections, no significant bank failure was observed. These areas will be monitored closely to ensure that they do not undercut the higher bank that was associated with the former impoundment area. Several small ephemeral-intermittent tributaries were observed to have slight developing head-cuts (Photo 27). These areas have been marked and will be monitored following additional increases in stream flow. Land Observation Point 5 Land Observation Point 5 was taken at the crossing of an unnamed road located on the Knight Cattle Corporation property and an unnamed credited tributary to the Deep River located upstream of Monitoring Station 29 (Figure 2). Stormflow appears to have reached approximately half bankfull stage and there were no signs of significant bank failure observed. A thin layer of fine sediment was observed on streamside vegetation signifying some erosion/sedimentation in the upstream watershed (Photo 28). At the confluence of the UT and the Deep River, a significant head-cut was observed. For additional details, see River Observation Point 9 of this document. SUMMARY Conditions within the former impoundment of the Deep River and it's tributaries during the first erosion evaluation (May 1, 2006) ranged from areas with localized severe erosion, to areas with little to no erosion observed. The majority of all confluences within the former impoundment of the Deep River were observed to be unstable as a result of a head-cut. The formation of head-cuts is expected as the former impounded Deep River makes a transition from a lentic to lotic flow regime, and appropriate sediment transport occurs. Loss of bank material due to storm flow scouring was observed throughout many tributaries as herbaceous vegetation attempts to re-establish. Banks within the Deep River were observed to be fairly stable with the exception of treefalls at or near waters edge. Well established herbaceous vegetation was observed along both banks of the Deep River below the elevation of the former dam crest pool. Heavily shaded areas have the least amount of herbaceous vegetation and those areas are experiencing the worst erosion. Woody debris exposed following de-watering of the former impoundment has collected in numerous logjams. A single, large, potentially problematic logjam formed behind the NC 42 bridge crossing , and RS and NCDOT were notified of this logjam on May 1, 2006. ESC understands that NCDOT cleaned the log jam from the NC 42 bridge within two days. SUBSTRATE ISLAND SURVEY In addition to the erosion evaluation, multiple cross-sections of the substrate island between the NC 42 bridge and the former dam footprint of the Carbonton Dam were completed. Three (3) permanent cross-sections were established to monitor the character or size of the substrate island following substantial river stage events. One (1) permanent cross-section was established just upstream of the former dam to monitor the river profile following high river stage events and to track movement of the substrate island material (Figure 4). Cross-sectional surveys were completed using Total Station survey equipment. EcoScience Corporation July 21, 2006 Mr. George Howard Page 7 of 6 RE: Former Carbonton Dam Erosion Evaluation Number 1 RIFFLE ESTABLISHMENT Following the dewatering of the Carbonton Dam impoundment, several riffles have developed within the Deep River. These riffles have been observed and documented during field outings. (Figure 5). Photos 1-6 in Deep River Riffle Establishment Photos section of this document show the location and character of the newly formed riffles.
