5 BASELINE FISH COMMUNITY STUDY REPORT BLALOCK HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT FERC NO SPARTANBURG WATER SYSTEM 1.0 INTRODUCTION Spartanburg Water System (SWS) is seeking a license from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for the proposed Blalock Hydroelectric Project (Project), FERC Project No The proposed Project would use the existing Lake Blalock dam and reservoir, which are located on the Pacolet River in northwestern South Carolina approximately five miles north of the city of Spartanburg near the town of Cowpens (Figure 1-1). SWS proposes to construct a powerhouse, penstock, substation, and transmission tie to complete the necessary elements for the Project. SWS is seeking an original license for the Project, which involves cooperation and collaboration between SWS, as licensee, and a variety of stakeholders including state and Federal resource agencies, state and local government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and interested individuals. Collaboration and cooperation among these stakeholders is essential for identifying and evaluating operational, economic, and environmental issues associated with construction and operation of a new project. SWS has established the Spartanburg Water System Licensing Group (SWSLG), composed of interested stakeholders, with the objective of achieving consensus regarding the identification and proper treatment of these issues in the context of an original license. Following submittal of the Pre-Application Document (PAD), several SWSLG members, namely the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), requested a baseline assessment of fish assemblages at the Project prior to installing hydropower facilities. 1.1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION Lake Blalock is a 1,105-acre drinking water reservoir owned and operated by SWS. The reservoir and the Pacolet River support a diverse warmwater fishery typical of the Piedmont of JANUARY
6 South Carolina. Lake Blalock supports recreational fisheries for largemouth bass, crappie, sunfish and catfish, among other species. Recent sampling efforts by SCDNR to support the South Carolina Stream Assessment documented more than 30 freshwater fish species in the Pacolet River basin and its primary tributaries (Table 1-1). Historically, the catadromous American eel and anadromous fish species, such as American shad, blueback herring, and striped bass, are thought to have historically occurred in the Pacolet River during seasonal migrations (Newcomb and Fuller 2001; Welch 2000). Currently, there are no documented populations of catadromous or anadromous species in the Pacolet River. JANUARY

9 2.0 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to characterize the current fish community in Lake Blalock and the reach of the Pacolet River downstream of the dam prior to developing hydropower at the site. Specific objectives included: development of a comprehensive list of species to characterize the diversity of the fish community in Lake Blalock and the Pacolet River; summarization of important population metrics that describe the local fish community, such as relative abundance and catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE); and identification of any species of conservation concern within the Project area or the area of Project influence: including state- or Federally-listed threatened and endangered species (or candidates for such listing), species that are considered Federal At-Risk species, invasive species, and species identified as conservation priorities in the South Carolina State Wildlife Action Plan. 3.0 METHODS Lake Blalock was divided into three zones for field sampling: upper, middle, and lower (Figure 3-1). Reservoir zones were then sampled via beach gillnetting, beach seining, and boat electrofishing as described below. One overnight gillnet sample was collected in both the middle and lower zones of Lake Blalock on September 16, 2015 (Figure 3-2). The upper zone could not be sampled during this event due to equipment failure. However, examination of the data from the lower and middle sites revealed similar species composition, thus we determined that a second event to sample the upper zone was not warranted. Gillnets were 100 feet long with 20-foot panels of 1-inch, 1½-inch, 2-inch, 2 ½-inch, and 3-inch bar mesh. Nets were set perpendicular to the bank with the 1-inch bar mesh closest to the bank and the 3-inch bar mesh in the deepest water. Collected fish were identified, measured (total length) and live fish were returned to the reservoir. Nighttime beach seining occurred after sundown on September 16, 2015 between 7:45 and 10:00 pm. Two quarter-haul beach seine samples were collected in each zone, for a total of 6 seine samples (Figure 3-2). One sample was collected on both the east and west banks within each JANUARY
10 zone in areas less than three feet deep. The seine used was a 25-foot straight seine with ¼-inch delta mesh. Collected fish were identified, measured (total length), and released. Fish not identified in the field were preserved in 70% ethanol and later identified in the laboratory. Boat electrofishing occurred during daytime hours on June 9, Two boat electrofishing samples were collected in each zone, for a total of 6 electrofishing samples. Samples were collected on both the east and west banks of each zone. For each sample, electrofishing was conducted over an approximately 150-yard-long area for a total of 15 minutes (900 seconds) of shocking time. Collected fish were identified, measured (total length), and released. Sufficient effort was expended at each station to cover all shallow microhabitats in an attempt to describe the fish community thoroughly. The downstream fish community was sampled via backpack electrofishing at two locations downstream of Lake Blalock dam (Figure 3-2). Each sample consisted of one person shocking and two people netting stunned fish. The first sampling event occurred on September 1, 2015, approximately 1,600 feet downstream of the Lake Blalock dam. Sampling occurred over wadeable riffle and shallow run habitat, with a shock time of 971 seconds and a transect distance of approximately 80 yards. The second sampling event occurred on October 21, 2015, approximately 1.7 miles downstream of the Lake Blalock dam. Sampling occurred in a low flow secondary channel and over main channel wadeable riffle habitat, with a shock time of 643 seconds and a transect distance of approximately 100 yards. Collected fish were identified according to Rohde et al. (2009), measured (total length), and released. Fish not identified in the field were preserved in 70% ethanol and later identified in the laboratory. JANUARY

13 4.0 RESULTS A total of 21 fish species from 7 families were collected during fisheries sampling conducted on Lake Blalock and in the downstream reach during A total of 5 families and 10 species were collected in Lake Blalock, and 6 families and 16 species were collected from the downstream reaches. Gear-specific results are discussed in greater detail below. 4.1 LAKE BLALOCK SEINING AND GILLNETTING A total of 177 fish representing 5 families and 9 species were collected with seining and gillnetting on Lake Blalock (Table 4-1). Gizzard shad dominated the relative abundance for both gillnet sets. Gamefish collected via gillnetting included channel catfish, white perch, white crappie, and largemouth bass (Table 4-2). Bluegill dominated the overall relative abundance for each of the 6 seine pulls. (Table 4-3). Young-of-year (YOY) Lepomids that lacked pigmentation could not be identified to species; however, all but one of the Lepomids that were large enough for identification during seine samples were bluegill. Therefore, the majority, if not all, of the YOY Lepomids collected in the seine hauls were likely bluegill. The only other Lepomis species collected in seining was one warmouth. No fish species collected via seining and gillnetting are listed in the SCDNR State Wildlife Action Plan (SCDNR 2015). JANUARY

18 5.0 PACOLET RIVER BACKPACK ELECTROFISHING A total of 69 fish representing 4 families and 9 species were collected in the downstream section closest to Lake Blalock (Table 5-1). Bluegill dominated the CPUE and relative abundance. Of the 69 fish that were collected, 56 were centrarchids. Five seagreen darters (listed as highest priority in the SCDNR s State Wildlife Action Plan (SCDNR 2015)), 7 sandbar shiners and three snail bullheads, (both listed as moderate priority) were also collected during this sampling event. A total of 81 fish representing 4 families and 13 species were collected in the lower downstream section (Table 5-1). Bluehead chubs dominated the CPUE and relative abundance (Table 5-2). Of the 81 fish that were collected, 61 were cyprinids (Table 5-1). Two flat bullheads (listed as moderate priority species in the SCDNR s State Wildlife Action Plan (SCDNR 2015)), 2 sandbar shiners, and one snail bullhead (both listed as moderate priority) were also collected during this sampling event. Two redeye bass were also collected. The Bartram s redeye bass is listed as a highest priority species in the SCDNR s State Wildlife Action Plan (SCDNR 2015).

20 6.0 DISCUSSION Lake Blalock was dominated by centrarchids, specifically largemouth bass and bluegill. We also collected numerous gizzard shad in the reservoir (Table 6-1). This fish assemblage is typical of a southeastern warmwater fishery. There was little difference in species composition between reservoir sections, and both juvenile and adult fish were collected over all sampling events. Juveniles of several species were collected included bluegill, yellow perch, white perch, redear sunfish, and redeye bass, and largemouth bass, indicating that these species are spawning within the reservoir. Adult largemouth bass, bluegill, white perch, white crappie, gizzard shad, and channel catfish were collected as well, indicating recruitment to adult size, and for gamefish, recruitment to a catchable size. The downstream reaches were dominated by centrarchids at the upper site, and cyprinids at the downstream site (Table 6-1). The abundance of bluegill found at the upper site, and lack of bluegill at the downstream site, is likely due to the proximity of these sites to Lake Blalock. The upper site is approximately 1600 feet downstream of Lake Blalock dam, whereas the lower site is 1.7 miles downstream of the dam. The results of our sampling events suggest that bluegill dominate the species composition in Lake Blalock. Although this species is found more often in lentic environments (Rohde et al. 2009), the proximity of the upper site to Lake Blalock would likely allow for species passed through the spillways or penstocks to end up in the area immediately downstream of the dam. One redeye bass was found in the reservoir. The Bartram s redeye bass is listed as a highest priority species in the SCDNR s State Wildlife Action Plan (SCDNR 2015). Downstream electrofishing also produced redeye bass, along with four other conservation priority species (Table 6-1). According to Rohde et al. 2009, redeye bass mature at a total length of approximately 144 millimeters (mm). The redeye bass collected in Lake Blalock was 141 mm, and the redeye bass collected downstream were <100 mm. The redeye bass collected in Lake Blalock was collected in the lower section of the reservoir (i.e. towards the dam). Redeye bass occur primarily in small streams, however they have been introduced to numerous reservoirs in JANUARY
21 the Upstate of South Carolina (Rohde et al. 2009). One smallmouth bass was collected downstream of Lake Blalock dam, and redeye bass have been known to hybridize with this species. Along with redeye bass, two flat bullheads (listed as moderate priority species in the SCDNR s State Wildlife Action Plan (SCDNR 2015)), two sandbar shiners, and one snail bullhead (both listed as moderate priority) were collected downstream of Lake Blalock (Table 6-2). None of the species documented in Lake Blalock or the downstream reach are federally or state listed as threatened or endangered. JANUARY
