ABSTRACT ROBINSON, JASON LESLEY. Discontinuities in Fish Assemblages and Efficacy of Thermal Restoration in Toxaway River, NC
ABSTRACT ROBINSON, JASON LESLEY. Discontinuities in fish assemblages and efficacy of thermal restoration in Toxaway River, NC (Under the direction of Peter S. Rand) Biogeographical studies in the Toxaway and Horsepasture Rivers, (Transylvania County, NC) were initiated along with the creation of a state park in the area. This region is noted for extreme topographic relief, high annual rainfall totals and many rare and endemic plants and animals. The study area encompasses a portion of the Blue Ridge Escarpment and the associated Brevard Fault Zone. These geologic features are important factors in determining the distribution of stream habitats and organisms. I hypothesize that major waterfalls and cascade complexes have acted to discourage invasion and colonization by fishes from downstream. This hypothesis is supported by longitudinal fish assemblage patterns in study streams. Fish species richness in Toxaway River increased from 4 to 23 between Lake Toxaway and Lake Jocassee, a distance of 10 river kilometers. No species replacement was observed in the study area, but additions of up to 7 species were observed in assemblages below specific waterfalls. A second component of the research examines the efficacy of a rapid bioassessment procedure in detecting thermal and biological changes associated with a reservoir mitigation project in an upstream site on Toxaway River. The mitigation project began in the winter of 2000 with the installation of a hypolimnetic siphon to augment the overflow release with cooler water during summer months. I record a greater summer temperature difference on Toxaway River below Lake Toxaway (comparison of pre- vs. post-manipulation), relative to control sites. -

Section 305(B) Assessment and Reporting
State of South Carolina Integrated Report for 2012 Part II: Section 305(b) Assessment and Reporting May 24, 2012 PREFACE The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) prepared this report as a requirement of Section 305(b) of Public Law 100-4, last reauthorized and commonly known as The Clean Water Act (CWA) of 1987, and as a public information document. The report presents a general assessment of water quality conditions and water pollution control programs in South Carolina. SCDHEC has published Watershed Water Quality Management Assessments (WWQA), that contain information pertaining to the specific watersheds and give a more complete picture of the waters referenced in this document. While the title page states that this is an integrated report, Section 303(d) of the CWA requirements are submitted separately as a companion document. The determinations of surface water quality were based on data collected by SCDHEC at ambient water quality monitoring stations, point source permit required monitoring, and evaluation of nonpoint source (NPS) data. Other information in this report was obtained from SCDHEC programs associated with water quality monitoring and water pollution control. i TABLE OF CONTENTS PREFACE........................................................................................................................................ i TABLE OF CONTENTS................................................................................................................ ii LIST OF TABLES........................................................................................................................ -

Lake Jocassee/Foothills Trail
Lake Jocassee/Foothills Trail Keep clear of power lines. Contact with or arcing from these lines can be very dangerous. Stay 300 feet away from the upstream and downstream sides of the dam and powerhouse. Do not enter the tailrace section directly below hydro stations. A flashing red beacon and/or sounding of a horn means sudden rising swift and turbulent waters below the dam.

Toxaway Suspension Bridge Renovation
Fall 2019 Newsletter for the Foothills Trail Conservancy - - www.foothillstrail.org Toxaway Suspension Bridge Renovation As part of Duke Power’s (now Duke Energy) construction of the middle portion of the Foothills Trail, there were many bridges built to cross the myriad rivers and creeks of the Jocassee Gorges. These bridges came in all shapes and sizes, but the granddaddy of them all was the suspension bridge over the Toxaway River. Designed by the engineering section of Duke Energy, the 225-ft bridge was built in the early 80’s. Two Duke engineers, Nick Seagle and Ed Luttrell were the primary engineers for the design and construction of all the bridges, including the Toxaway bridge. Construction on the bridge by Duke commenced in 1982 and took several months to com- plete. The heavy equipment necessary to carry out the project was brought down an old roadway from the Wilds camp north of the bridge site, including multiple loads of concrete in standard concrete trucks! All the Duke Energy bridges have been inspected on a regular basis, and a recent inspection revealed that some deterioration had begun to take place in parts of the wood supporting pillars of the bridge that would cause them to be replaced. They decided this was a good time to refurbish the entire bridge! After studying all angles of this enormous task, they also decid- ed that the best material for the long- est life of the bridge was fiberglass. This would be much lighter to transport to the site, but also would be very long-lasting. -
