The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has issued a Statement of Work (SOW) for bypass pumping activities at the B. Everett Jordan Dam in North Carolina, scheduled for January-February 2025. The project aims to maintain a minimum water flow of 40 cubic feet per second (CFS) for inspections and repairs of the dam's outlet works tower. Contractors are responsible for mobilizing necessary equipment and personnel while adhering to safety protocols outlined in an Accident Prevention Plan (APP) and a Pump Around Plan (PAP), which require government approval before mobilization.
Daily monitoring and reporting of the pumping operation are mandatory, along with regular meetings to ensure project coordination. No significant alterations to the site are permitted without approval, especially concerning vegetation. The project is structured with defined deliverables, including a 12-hour pump test and continuous operation for at least 17 days, with a possible extension not exceeding 21 days. The contractor must also plan for demobilization and site restoration post-project, including potential re-seeding of affected areas. This initiative underscores the importance of infrastructure management while ensuring environmental protection and safety compliance throughout the project timeline.
