The Cheoah Hydroelectric Development includes the dam, powerhouse, penstock, penstock building, tram bridge, two support buildings, and a bridge over the Cheoah River. The Cheoah Hydroelectric Development was the fIrst of the four facilities that make up the Tapoco Hydroelectric Project to be constructed. Work began on the proj ect in 1916 and was ~ompleted in 1919. The dam, powerhouse, and penstock building were originally built to serve four Vertical Francis turbines. A fIfth larger turbine was added as an independent mechani sm in 1949, and its intake is situated in a converted spillway gate. This penstock begins as a 17-foot diameter concrete conduit that runs down the face of the dam. The concrete portion is 112 feet in length with the remaining 375 feet of welded steel that is 16 feet in diameter. In order to accommodate the new turbine and associated generator, the Cheoah Powerhouse was expanded 71.5 feet. This section is the same architectural style as the original building. The total current capacity of the facility's five units is 110 MW and the total station hydraulic capacity is 9,426 cubic feet

For purposes of compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, we concur that the following properties are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under the criterion cited: Ea lL4 George B. Walker House. This Queen Anne-style house is one of the most fashionable and well-preserved farmhouses of the early twentieth century in Cherokee County, and is eligible under Criterion C. The boundary justification proposes following right-of-way along SR 1388, but does not indicate how much right-of-way exists. Thus, we will assume the boundary follows the ditch line along SR 1388. Otherwise, the boundaries are acceptable to us. Stecoah School. This 1 931 school is eligible under Criterion A for 002S education, as one of two consolidated schools built in Graham County prior to World War II.

  • Hydropower in Central North Carolina: the Battle for the Yadkin
    Hydropower in Central North Carolina: The Battle for the Yadkin Eric Anderson Introduction Alcoa and North Carolina have been locked in a licensing dispute for the better part of a decade. At stake is control over a 38-mile segment of the Yadkin River, four dams, and the profits earned by selling the electricity generated by those dams. Alcoa is seeking renewal of its operating license for its four dams on the Yadkin River. In 1958, the Federal Power Commission granted Alcoa a 50-year operating license for the dams. At the time, Alcoa was a major employer in Stanly County where it operated an aluminum smelting complex. That smelting complex is now closed and Alcoa is no longer a major employer in North Carolina. The state does not support allowing Alcoa to operate these dams for 50 more years without substantial economic benefits flowing back to the people of North Carolina in return. The dispute raises issues of private property rights, ownership of submerged land, management of public waterways for the public benefit, and the obligations owed by private corporations to the public in exchange for the use of a public resource like the Yadkin River. This last issue is of particular significance when a corporation moves its operations from one location to another, yet continues to benefit from a public resource in its former location. This is the context in which the dispute between Alcoa and North Carolina arises. History of Yadkin Dams Alcoa began development of its Badin, NC operations in 1915 by purchasing an unfinished aluminum smelting complex.1 By 1917, a dam constructed over the Yadkin River adjacent to the Badin Works at a location known as the Narrows powered the aluminum 1 Alcoa-Yadkin History, ALCOA, http://www.alcoa.com/yadkin/en/info_page/history.asp (last visited Jan.

  • Chapter 57 – Smelter Wastes and Cleanups
    Chapter 57 Smelter wastes and cleanups The Columbia Falls Aluminum Co. plant site, like other heavy industrial sites, was impacted by the typical variety of hazardous chemicals used by maintenance and production personnel or created as a result of process operations. The large number of vehicles necessitated a maintenance garage and fuel tanks, some located underground, which over the years generated daily waste or spills that contained solvents, lubricants, diesel fuel and gasoline. The vast array of mechanical processing equipment – from crushers, shakers and feed belts to pollution-control equipment, casting equipment and overhead cranes – likewise required maintenance crews and repair facilities that generated similar waste over the years. The 600 reduction pots required periodic rebuilds over their lifespan. Equipment maintenance and process operations also were responsible for producing heavy metals. The large transformers and other electrical equipment were a source for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Asbestos was used to insulate exhaust fues and steam pipes, as well as a binder in roofng material and fooring tile. 1 In addition to the typical hazardous chemicals found at many industrial sites were the chemicals associated with the aluminum smelting process – including coal, coke and coal tar pitch used to make carbon paste briquettes and a source of emissions from open-topped Soderberg anodes; fuoride compounds used to make bath and emitted by reduction pots in pot gases or fugitive emissions in potrooms and by crushing and handling frozen bath; dross produced by casting furnaces and operations; and spent potliner created in cathode pot bottoms. Spent potliner at aluminum smelters consisted of refractory brick, cathode electrodes and carbon paste which contained various hazardous compounds created after years of pot use, including ammonia and cyanide.

  • Alcoa Savings Plan
    Alcoa Retirement Savings Plan Summary Plan Description Effective August 8, 2014 This document constitutes part of a Prospectus covering securities that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. This booklet together with other documents or information designated by the Company, is the Summary Plan Description (SPD) and the Prospectus of the Alcoa Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees, the Alcoa Retirement Savings Plan for Bargaining Employees, the Alcoa Retirement Savings Plan for Hourly Non-Bargaining Employees, and the Alcoa Retirement Savings Plan for Fastener Systems Employees in effect as of August 8, 2014. When “Savings Plan” and “Alcoa Retirement Savings Plan” are used in this booklet, they refer to the Plan applicable to the participant. These Plans are governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). An SPD is intended to summarize the features of a Plan in clear, understandable, and informal language for participants. However, the governing terms of these Plans are contained in the official Plan documents under which the Plans operate. If there are any differences between this SPD and the Plan documents, the Plan documents will govern. In addition, the Plan governs over any other contradictory correspondence, including but not limited to statements of customer service representatives. The Alcoa Retirement Savings Plan is a defined contribution benefit plan set up under section 401(k) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. It is intended to enhance your financial security in Retirement above the level of any pension and Social Security benefits you may have. The advantages of pre-tax contributions and tax-deferred growth make the Plan better suited to long-term, Retirement-oriented savings; the restrictions on pre-tax withdrawals and the additional tax on early withdrawals/payments make it less desirable for meeting short-term needs.
