1 A GIS Tool Prioritizing Dams for Removal within the State of North Carolina Kat Hoenke Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership (SARP) Cape Fear River Partnership Meeting May 15-16, 2014
2 Project Background Originally funded by American Rivers and Duke University, and completed in updates funded by SARP Prioritizes dams for removal in North Carolina using Ecological and Social Metrics
3 National Fish Habitat Partnership Covers 14 States Southeast Aquatic Habitat Plan Connection to Cape Fear Lock and Dam #2
4
5 SEACAP SEACAP Project Goals Compile a regional database of barriers Develop a relative prioritization assessment based on each barrier s potential to benefit migratory & resident fish species Interactive web map and tool that will allow users to run custom assessments at various scales and based on user specified parameters SEACAP Program seeks to encourage connectivity efforts in the region through state connectivity teams, promoting this tool and others. 1
6 Fish Passage / Dam Removal Motivation Why remove a dam? o Dams alter the river habitat and communities o Diadromous fish unable to migrate o Water quality impacts o Dam removal can quickly restore riverine habitat in many cases o Many dams are old and not used o Many dams are hazardous
7 Why Prioritize Dams? Over 5000 dams in North Carolina >700 dams in the Cape Fear River Basin
8 Project Objectives Organize barrier data Spatially associate ecological data to dams Create a user friendly tool prioritizing dams for removal using ecological and social metrics Run simulations of the tool to create a list of potential removal projects
9 Objectives Hierarchy Final rank of dams is determined by: o Weighting of Criteria (eg. Habitat Quality) o Each Criteria has measurable indicators (eg. Presence of SNHA at dam) o Each indicator is ranked from 0 to 1 o Indicators are weighted within criteria Objective: Identify the Best Dams to Remove Criteria Criteria Criteria Criteria Indicator Indicator Indicator Indicator Indicator Indicator Indicator Indicator
10 Criteria Criteria are qualities that make a dam good to remove: The dam is on an area of high habitat quality Removal of dam will maximize connectivity of river network Dam is on area of high water quality, or on an area of low water quality directly attributed to dam Dam is on a stream with a high flow rate Dam has social attributes that make it easier to remove Dam has safety concerns Criteria are weighted
11 Indicators Indicators are data attributed to the dam within a criterion: ie: Habitat Criterion Dam is on a stream with a natural heritage area Dam is on a stream with an excellent benthic community Dam is close to an anadromous fish spawning area. Dam is on an area designated as having outstanding resource waters Indicators are ranked and weighted within a criterion
12
13 I: Data Sources Barrier dataset a combination of: o NC Dam Safety (NC Dam Safety Program) o Aquatic Obstruction Inventory (NC DENR, USFWS) o National Inventory of Dams (USACE) o FERC Hydropower dataset Habitat Metric Data NC Natural Heritage NC DMF NC Museum of Natural Sciences Collection NC WRC USFWS NOAA
14 Organize Barrier Dataset Tool Input: Barrier Dataset Associate indicator data with Barrier dataset Habitat Quality SNHA Connectivity Upstream mileage Water Quality Impaired streams Model: Barrier Prioritization Indicators and criteria weighted according to user Flow Stream Order Output: Shapefile of ranked dams Social Use Ownership Safety Hazards Hazard
15 The Prioritization Tool Package User selects Geographic Area User selects barrier dataset User selects and adds weights to indicators for each criterion Users adds weights to criteria Tool adds criteria fields and a rank field to the dataset Tool outputs ranked shapefile o Dataset can be sorted and viewed in order of highest to lowest rank
16 II: NC BPT and the Cape Fear Prioritizing dams in the Cape Fear River Basin is part of the Cape Fear River Partnership Action Plan, Action # 2.2. To address this item, we will: Run the NC BPT in its current state on the Cape Fear River Basin using default anadromous fish scenario weights. Run the BPT after its update with new data Run the SEACAP tool on the Cape Fear Basin once it is completed in December of 2014 COMPARE the three outputs. NOAA.gov
17 Anadromous Fish Round One: Criteria and Indicator Weights
18 Anadromous Fish Round One: Results Lock And Dam #1 Lock And Dam #2 Huske Lock And Dam B. Everett Jordan Lake High Falls Woodlake Dam Un-named Un-named, Adjacent to 95 Upchurch Lake Dam UN-NAMED Randleman Dam Hope Mills Dam #1 Oakdale Cotten Mills Da Charles L. Turner Reser City Lake Dam Cox Lake Dam Phillips Creek Dam UN-NAMED Orton Lake Dam Cedar Falls Upper
19
20 Cape Fear Users Cape Fear Users Following update, will run the tool for CPF Basin Updates will include new data from the Museum of Natural Sciences. Updated anadromous fish spawning Flow as a means of species location information Updated connectivity Updated social attributes How can this tool help you? Leverage for project funds Project selection efficiency How can it be improved?
