  • Biological Assessment to Determine Impacts of Selenium Pollution from Coal Ash Wastewater Discharges on Fish Populations in Lake Sutton, NC
    Biological Assessment to Determine Impacts of Selenium Pollution From Coal Ash Wastewater Discharges on Fish Populations in Lake Sutton, NC Prepared by A. Dennis Lemly, Ph.D. 215 Sapona Road, Lexington NC 27295 Prepared for Southern Environmental Law Center Chapel Hill Office 601 West Rosemary Street, Chapel Hill NC 27516 November 5 2013 1 Background Progress Energy owns and operates Lake Sutton NC as a cooling reservoir for the L.V. Sutton Steam Plant, a coal-fired electric generating facility. The lake is used as a disposal site for coal ash wastewater from the power plant and it is also open to the public for fishing. The NC Division of Inland Fisheries and/or Progress Energy have monitored fish populations and chemical pollution from coal ash in Lake Sutton since the late 1980’s (NCDIF 2010, 2013). Since that time, a substantial amount of information has resulted showing that Lake Sutton is polluted by the trace element selenium. Selenium is a well-documented contaminant in coal ash wastewater and it can cause developmental abnormalities and reproductive failure in fish and wildlife (Lemly 2002a). Although monitoring results indicate that the concentrations of selenium in fish equal or exceed diagnostic toxic levels there has been no detailed biological investigation to determine if impacts are actually occurring. The Southern Environmental Law Center commissioned this study to answer that question. The assessment method used was developed by Dr. Lemly through his work on other selenium-polluted lakes in NC and is published in the peer-reviewed scientific literature (Lemly 1993, 1997a). It consists of examining young fish for the presence of selenium-induced defects and then applying an assessment index to evaluate impacts on the Lake Sutton fish community.

  • Aquatic Ecosystems
    February 19, 2014 Nantahala and Pisgah NFs Assessment Aquatic Ecosystems The overall richness of North Carolina’s aquatic fauna is directly related to the geomorphology of the state, which defines the major drainage divisions and the diversity of habitats found within. There are seventeen major river basins in North Carolina. Five western basins are part of the Interior Basin (IB) and drain to the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico (Hiwassee, Little Tennessee, French Broad, Watauga, and New). Parts of these five river basins are within the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests (NFs). Twelve central and eastern basins are part of the Atlantic Slope (AS) and flow to the Atlantic Ocean. Of these twelve central and eastern basins, parts of the Savannah, Broad, Catawba, and Yadkin-Pee Dee basins are within the Nantahala and Pisgah NFs. As described later in this report, the Nantahala and Pisgah NFs, for the most part, support higher elevation coldwater streams, and relatively little cool- and warmwater resources. To gain perspective on the importance of aquatic ecosystems on the Nantahala and Pisgah NFs, it is first necessary to understand their value at regional and national scales. The southeastern United States has the highest aquatic species diversity in the entire United States (Burr and Mayden 1992; Williams et al. 1993; Taylor et al. 1996; Warren et al. 2000,), with southeastern fishes comprising 62% of the United States fauna, and nearly 50% of the North American fish fauna (Burr and Mayden 1992). Freshwater mollusk diversity in the southeast is ‘globally unparalleled’, representing 91% of all United States mussel species (Neves et al.

  • Water Supply & Wastewater
    Piedmont Triad Climate Resiliency Tool Kit Water Supply & Wastewater Introduction Water is a scarce natural resource in the Piedmont region. As the Piedmont Triad continues to grow and develop, and the demand for potable water increases, it has become increasingly important to monitor the surface water capacity available to fulfill our regional water demand. Short-term solutions to water issues are generally quick and necessary steps in reaction to immediate concerns. However, a long-term planning approach will better prepare local governments for the unique challenges facing our region. Investment in a deeper understanding of the complex and challenging political, regulatory, and environmental issues surrounding water supply will help guide decision-makers to consider future ramifications of options in resource planning. This assessment of current and future (20-50 years) water resource needs and wastewater treatment plant capacity includes the 12-county Piedmont Triad Regional Council (PTRC) Region (Alamance, Caswell, Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Montgomery, Randolph, Rockingham, Stokes, Surry, and Yadkin Counties). Water supply and wastewater capacity are assessed within the context of surface water availability, projected population growth, geography, current laws and regulations, water quality, and patterns of water use (water conservation and water reuse). Background Drinking water comes from two primary sources, surface water or groundwater. Surface water is the water found above ground in the form of rainwater runoff, streams, rivers, lakes and reservoirs. Groundwater is unseen and deep in the ground saturating porous sandy soils or fractures of bedrock. Surface water and groundwater affect each other. Groundwater comes to the surface (springs) and can help replenish surface water.

  • The Elkin Valley—MST Segment 6
    1 | Mountains-to-Sea Trail Last Updated 4/14/2020 Walking the MST into Elkin Photo by Joe Mickey The Elkin Valley—MST Segment 6 DEVILS GARDEN OVERLOOK TO PILOT MOUNTAIN STATE PARK By Bob Hillyer This 69-mile segment marks the transition from mountains to Piedmont as the trail drops more than 2,000 feet in six miles off the Blue Ridge Park- way (BRP) to a tranquil valley within Stone Mountain State Park. At the base of the massive granite monolith that gives the park its name, hikers enter a gentler landscape at the Hutchinson Historic Homestead. From there, the journey continues a more gradual descent, over foot- hills and past farms and forests to the town of Elkin. The flora, fauna, Segment 6 | 2 and wildlife also make a noticeable transition. Yellow-pine forests begin to dominate the landscape along fields of corn and tobacco and trellised grapes at wineries. Once a textile powerhouse, Elkin welcomes visitors to explore its downtown as well as its proud history and beautiful setting on the Yadkin River. From Elkin, the trail heads east, following the Yadkin River, past farms and forests to the historic village of Rockford, the county seat of Surry County from 1789 to 1850. Ahead looms the granite dome of Pilot Mountain, the westernmost peak in the Sauratown Mountain range. This MST segment ends at the start of the Corridor Trail in Pilot Mountain State Park, which in Segment 7 leads hikers toward that peak. Two of the trail sections in this segment are also open to horses.

  • An Evaluation of Water Quality Parameters and Flow Dynamics In
    An Evaluation of Water Quality Parameters and Flow Dynamics in High Rock Lake, North Carolina to Assist in the Development of Nutrient Criteria for Lakes and Reservoirs in the State by Morgan Rudd Dr. Michael O’Driscoll, Advisor Dr. Grant Murray, Advisor April 26th, 2018 Master of Environmental Management Degree Candidate | May 2018 Masters project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Environmental Management degree in the Nicholas School of the Environment of Duke University EXECUTIVE SUMMARY North Carolina reservoirs have a history of eutrophication problems, and studies addressing NC lake water quality were conducted as early as the 1960s. Most of North Carolina’s lakes are manmade reservoirs, and reservoir waters may respond differently to nutrient inputs based on differences in watershed area, residence time, depth, and other variables. A better understanding of riverine discharge and water quality parameter dynamics in North Carolina reservoirs will help guide nutrient development for the state. Due to impairments associated with designated uses for water supply, recreation, and aquatic life, High Rock Lake (HRL) has been listed on North Carolina’s 303d list of impaired waters since 2004. The lake and its tributaries are impaired due to elevated turbidity, chlorophyll-a, and pH. High Rock Dam, located in Rowan and Davidson Counties in North Carolina, was constructed on the Yadkin River in 1927. HRL is primarily fed by the Yadkin River and several smaller tributaries, draining a total area of 3974 square miles. North Carolina currently has surface water standards for chlorophyll-a (40 µg/L), turbidity (25 NTU- lakes), and pH (<6 or >9), but not for nutrients.

    HOUSE BILL 360: Authorize Dan River State Trail. 2021-2022 General Assembly Committee: Senate Agriculture, Energy, and Environment. Date: June 15, 2021 If favorable, re-refer to Rules and Operations of the Senate Introduced by: Reps. K. Hall, Carter Prepared by: Kyle Evans Analysis of: First Edition Committee Counsel OVERVIEW: House Bill 360 would authorize the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources to add the Dan River Trail to the State Parks System. BILL ANALYSIS: House Bill 360 would authorize DNCR to add the Dan River Trail to the State Parks System as a State trail, and directs DNCR to support, promote, encourage, and facilitate the establishment of trail segments on State park lands and on lands of other federal, State, local, and private landowners. On segments of the trail that cross property controlled by agencies or owners other than DNCR, the laws, rules, and policies of those agencies or owners will govern the use of the property. This addition is not required to be accompanied by an appropriation, but the State may receive donations of appropriate land and may purchase other needed lands for the trail with existing funds in the Clean Water Management Trust Fund, the Parks and Recreation Trust Fund, the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, and other available sources of funding. EFFECTIVE DATE: This act would be effective when it becomes law. BACKGROUND: The Dan River flows for 214 miles through Virginia and North Carolina, crossing the State line 8 times. Major tributaries of the Dan River are the Mayo, Smith, Sandy, Banister, and Hyco rivers.

  • The Sauratown Mountains—MST Segment 7
    1 | Mountains-to-Sea Trail Last Updated 4/4/2018 A horse grazes below Pilot Mountain. Photo by Sharon McCarthy The Sauratown Mountains—MST Segment 7 PILOT MOUNTAIN STATE PARK TO HANGING ROCK STATE PARK By Jim Grode This 36-mile segment, located in Stokes and Surry Counties, encompasses some of the most beautiful areas of North Carolina’s Piedmont. It runs en- tirely along the Sauratown Mountains, an isolated remnant of the ancient Appalachian Mountains. This range is also sometimes called “the moun- tains away from the mountains.” Segment 7 begins in the west at Pilot Mountain State Park. Pilot Mountain is a quartzite monadnock, or isolated mountain. Known to the Saura people Segment 7 | 2 as Jomeokee—the “Great Guide”—Pilot Mountain rises to 2,421 feet and is capped by vertical cliff walls rising to a forested dome known as Big Pinnacle. Big Pinnacle is closed to all public access for ecological and safety reasons; the trail loops around the northwest of the peak. “The Pilot” has served as a navigational landmark for centuries, and even today it is a near-constant presence throughout Segment 7 and the surrounding countryside. East of Pilot Mountain, the MST joins the Sauratown Trail, one of the earliest long-distance trails in the state. Winding through farmland, for- ests, and country roads, this trail skirts the northern flank of Sauratown Mountain. The trail is unusual in that it is mostly on private lands, and is open to trail users through the generosity of many individual landowners. As you hike the trail, please be respectful.
