“…Limnetic young-of-the-year yellow perch (Perca Jiavescens), black crappies (Pomoxis nigromaculatus), and bluegills (Lepomis macrochirus) declined between 1973 and 1976 (Ruelle, et al, 1977) and reflected the probable shift in food supply to greater depths. Similarly, the first year growth of bluegills, black crappies, and largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) was slightly reduced from 1974 to 1977 (Barwick and Lorenzen, 1984).…”

Temperature and dissolved oxygen concentrations were measured monthly from January 1971 to December 1982 at 1-rn depth intervals at 13 stations in Keowee Reservoir in order to characterize spatial and temporal changes associated with operation of the Oconee Nuclear Station. The reservoir water column was ito 4°C warmer in operational than in non-operational years. The thermodine was at depths of 5 to 15 m before the operation of Oconee Nuclear Station, but was always below the upper level of the intake (20 m) after the station was in full operation; this suggests that pumping by the Oconee Nuclear Station had depleted all available cool hypolimnetic water to this depth. As a result summer water temperatures at depths greater than 10 rn were usually 10°C higher after plant operation began than before. By fall the reservoir was nearly homothemious to a depth of 27 m, where a thermocine developed. Seasonal temperature profiles varied with distance from the plant; a cool water plume was evident in spring and a warm water plume was present in the summer, fall, and winter. A cold water plume also developed in the northern section of the reservoir due to the operation of Jocassee Pumped Storage Station. Increases in the mean water temperature of the reservoir during operational periods were correlated with the generating output of the power plant. The annual heat load to the reservoir increased by one-third after plant operations began. The alteration of the thermal stratification of the receiving water during the summer also caused the dissolved oxygen to mix to greater depths. (
