Dear Dr. Oliver:
Subject: Proposed Fill in Wetlands or Waters
Fish reef construction
Person County
DEM Project•# 92657
Upon review of your request for Water Quality Certification
to place automobile tires in Hyco Lake to construct a fish reef
in Person County, we have determined that the proposed fill can
be covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 2674 issued
January 21, 1992. A copy of the General Certification is
attached. This Certification may be used in qualifying for
coverage under Corps of Engineers' General Permit No. 30.
If you have any questions, please contact John Dorney at

Dear Mr. Oliver:
Reference your November 2, 1992 letter, with plans, regarding the Roxboro
Boy Scout project to construct a small artificial reef as a fish attractor in
Hyco Reservoir, near Roxboro, Person County, North Carolina.
On January 1, 1992, we renewed general permit No. CESAW-CO82-N-000-0030
(enclosed) that authorizes construction activities in waters of lakes and
reservoirs in the State of North Carolina, owned, operated, and/or regulated
by public utility companies under license from the Federal Power
Commission/Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and all lakes or
reservoirs in the State of North Carolina owned and operated by the Tennessee
Valley Authority (TVA).
The proposed Boy Scout project is authorized if they can comply with all
permit conditions. Please have them read the enclosed permit to prevent an
unintentional violation of Federal law. As this Department of the Army
general permit does not relieve them of the responsibility to obtain any other
required approvals, they should contact appropriate State and local agencies
before beginning work.
If you have questions, contact Mr. Eric Alsmeyer, Raleigh Field Office,
Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].

RE: Installation of Fish Attractors in Hyco Reservoir
As discussed with you by Mr. Buzz Bryson of my staff in a telephone conversation
on October 27, 1992, CP&L is sponsoring a Roxboro Boy Scout in a project to meet his
Eagle Scout requirements. His project involves using old automobile tires to construct a
small artificial reef in Hyco Reservoir to serve as a fish attractor. The reef will consist of
twelve nine-tire units which will be placed in the South Hyco arm of the lake. The
configuration and location of the proposed reef are shown in attachments to this letter.
CP&L has previously installed similar tire reefs in Hyco and nearby Mayo Reservoir
under the regional permit relating to FERC-regulated impoundments (see attached letter).
CP&L is requesting that you review this proposal to ensure that it is covered under this
regional permit or under NWP #4, and that it also satisfies the requirements for 401
certification (the joint application form is attached). Because the Boy Scout wishes to
complete the project this fall, we would appreciate your reviewing the project at your
earliest convenience.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Bryson at [phone]. Thank you
for your consideration.
Yours very truly,
George J. Oliver, Ph.D.

Three tires form a cylindrical assembly for this
unit. Two of these 3-tire assemblies are then roped
together to form a base of six tires. A third assem-
bly is then lashed on top to form a pyramid. Six No.
10 cans filled with concrete are forced between the
sidewalls of the base tires to anchor the unit. The
upper tread portions of all but the middle tire of the
top assembly are drilled to allow air to escape. The
air trapped in the undrilled tire assures that the, unit
will sink in an upright position.
5. High-profile tire unit (Fig. 5)
Data on materials and costs are from Prince and
Lambert (1972) as modified by Prince and Brouha
(1974).
Materials Estimated Cost
Old tires (13 per unit) .......................... 0

Total per unit ............................... $8.40
In the construction of this unit, a large truck tire
(10.00x20) is placed horizontally on the ground as
a base. Four holes are drilled in the upper sidewall,
dividing the tire into quarters. The holes are then
enlarged by cutting out a wedge toward the center
of the tire with a saber saw (use knife blade insert).
Four 10-foot (3 m) long sections of reinforcing bar
are inserted into the holes of the base tire. Each bar
is bent toward the center of the tire and then an acety-
