In an effort to learn the cause of the noise and vibration, Frizell and Elgin conducted field measurements on all four outlet tubes on June 19, 1984, see appendix. They discovered that the outlet tubes in the vicinity of the dresser couplings had a maximum peak-to- peak displacement of 3.47 mils (0.089 mm) at a frequency of about 176 Hz. This frequency corresponds approximately to the audible tone of F below middle C. Their measurements were made with a gate opening of 81 percent. This opening produced a discharge of 4,350 ft3/s per valve at a reservoir elevation of 3697.45. Possible causes for the noise include: a. Cavitation of the valve or man door b.

One of the two dams at the W.H. Weatherspoon Power Plant near Lumberton had previously been classified as posing an intermediate risk, requiring a safety inspection once every five years, while the other dam was exempt from safety inspections. One pond contains coal ash; the other stores water in a cooling pond. A high hazard rating by the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources calls for increasing annual inspections for structural integrity to once a year. “If the coal ash storage pond were to fail, material from the coal ash storage area would likely flow southeast and could impact four occupied homes located closely together on the east side of both the coal ash storage pond and the cooling pond,” said DENR spokesman Jamie Kritzer.

Friends of the North Fork and White Rivers (Friends) does not agree with the re categorization of Norfork Tailwater section from Impaired (Category 5) to Non-impaired with TMDL – Category 1.b. Friends understanding of why a stream would be re-designated as Category 1b-Non-Impaired stream is that the last time data was collected by ADEQ for the waterbody, it was meeting its standard [6 ppm] at a given location. However, because of its history of poor dissolved oxygen(DO) conditions, it will continue to have a TMDL (6 ppm µg/L) standard that must be met. The TMDL standard is a minimum DO level for trout, not an optimum level. Mild degradation of the trout community occurs at this DO level and continues in severity of degradation with lower DO levels. Fish kills continue to occur at times due to low DO levels during critical periods.
