Everett, Director DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT August 19, 1991 SUBJECT: John Dorney ~ Rex Gleason 1)~ Michael parke~ 401 Certification Review Spencer Mountain Hydroelectric Project Duke Power Company Gaston County MEMO TO: FROM: PREPARED BY: The subject project has been reviewed by the staff of this Office for issuance of a 401 Certification. Our review found that the subject project should not compromise existing uses of the South Fork River nor impact the adjacent watershed and/or wetlands provided the minimum 7Q10 release of the river is maintained as required by Division regulations. The facility has been in operation since 1905 and this Office has no record of water quality degradation as a result of it's operation. Please note that there is one existing discharge located below the dam (NC0066141) and the City of Gastonia is evaluating an outfall relocation from their Long Creek WWTP to the South Fork below the subject facility. It is recommended that a 401 Certification be issued provided the concerns raised by various state and local agencies and local municipalities regarding potential downstream impacts can be resolved. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please advise.

This correspondence responds to your request for our comments regarding 401 certification for the Spencer Mountain Hydroelectric station. These comments are provided in accordance with the provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et seq.), and the Fish and wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.). Major concerns of the North Carolina wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) at the project site include impingement and entrainment of fish and loss of fish habitat due to dewatering of the river channel. The NCWRC is currently working with Duke Power Company and North Carolina Division of Water Resources to address these concerns through the relicensing process mandated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The NCWRC has no objection to the issuance of 401 certification for this project. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this application. cc: Ms. Stephanie Goudreau, Mt.
