    1. BACKGROUND-REGIONS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SITUATION A. General Description of Area The Cumberland Plateau Planning District is in Southwest Virginia and encompasses the counties of Buchanan, Dickenson, Russell and Tazewell. The District borders West Virginia on the north and Kentucky on the northeast. Wise, Scott, Washington, Smyth and Bland Counties in Virginia form the boundaries on the west, south, and east. The District is 67 miles long and 40 miles wide and covers approximately 1,848 square miles. The District is divided into two physiographically distinct regions, both lying in the Appalachian Highlands. The counties of Buchanan and Dickenson, along with the northern portions of Russell and Tazewell Counties, lie in the Cumberland Plateau which is, in turn, a part of the Appalachian Plateau. This area has a uniformly mountainous surface characterized by many small streams separated by sharply rising ridges, steep slopes, and narrow valleys. The remaining region of the District, comprising the greater portion of Russell and Tazewell Counties, lies in the Valley and Ridge Province of the Appalachian Highlands. This belt, consisting of alternate valleys and ridges is bordered on the south by the Clinch Mountains and on the north by the Cumberland Plateau. Elevations vary from 845 feet above sea level where the Levisa Fork crosses into Kentucky to 4,705 feet atop Garden Mountain in the southeastern part of the District near the Bland County line. The most prominent physiographic features in the District are Clinch Mountain, Breaks of the Cumberland, Burkes Garden, Big A Mountain, and Pine Mountain. Cumberland Plateau PDC 2018 Profile Page 1 Comparatively smooth to moderately sloping uplands are found in places in the southern and southeastern portions of the District.

  • 14. Mount Rogers Planning Region Local Action Plan Summary
    14. MOUNT ROGERS PLANNING REGION LOCAL ACTION PLAN SUMMARY WILDLIFE ACTION PLAN AND LOCAL SUMMARIES OVERVIEW Wildlife Action Plan Virginia is fortunate to contain a wide variety of natural resources and landscapes that provide Virginians with a range of benefits, services, and economic opportunities. Natural resource conservation in Virginia, as in most states, is implemented by government agencies, non- governmental organizations, private institutions, academic institutions, and private citizens. These groups work to enhance the quality of life within the Commonwealth by conserving Virginia’s air, land, water, and wildlife. Adequate funding and human capital needed to manage and conserve these valuable resources are not always available. In 2005, Virginia’s conservation community first came together to maximize the benefits of their actions and created the state’s first Wildlife Action Plan (Action Plan). It was written to prioritize and focus conservation efforts to prevent species from declining to the point where they become threatened or endangered (DGIF 2005). The 2015 Action Plan is an update of the original Plan. The Action Plan must address eight specific elements mandated by Congress. They are: 1. Information on the distribution and abundance of species of wildlife, including low and declining populations as the state fish and wildlife agency deems appropriate, that are indicative of the diversity and health of the state’s wildlife; and 2. Descriptions of locations and relative condition of key habitats and community types essential to conservation of species identified in (1); and 3. Descriptions of problems which may adversely affect species identified in (1) or their habitats, and priority research and survey efforts needed to identify factors which may assist in restoration and improved conservation of these species and habitats; and 4.

  • Virginia's Natural Area Preserve System
    VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND RECREATION VIRGINIA’S NATURAL AREA PRESERVE SYSTEM IS A NATURAL AREA PRESERVE THE SAME AS A PARK? No. DCR’s state natural area preserves were established to protect the best examples of Virginia’s natural communities and habitats for our rarest species of plants and animals. Recreation is a secondary objective. Wherever possible, DCR provides opportunities for the public to visit these special places using access strategies that don’t result in harm to the sensitive resources protected. DCR also manages Virginia State Parks. The parks’ main focus is on outdoor recreation, and information is available at www.virginiastateparks.gov. DCR is proud to offer Virginians and visitors access to the parks and the preserves. Welcome Virginia’s Natural Area Preserve System includes some of the most beautiful, interesting and unusual natural features in the state. Natural area preserves harbor many of Virginia’s exemplary natural communities and rare species habitats and provide visitors unique outdoor experiences. We invite you to discover the 20 preserves listed here — some of Virginia’s greatest treasures. The preserves include examples of natural communities from nearly all areas of the state, a strategy that helps protect both common and rare plants and animals. From karst (limestone) landscapes of sinkholes and underground streams in Lee County to giant bayside sand dunes on the Eastern Shore, the preserve system protects outstanding examples of natural communities and the habitats of rare, threatened and endangered species. PUBLIC ACCESS Public access on natural area preserves is available for those who are looking for quiet and relaxing time away from crowds.

  • 4. Natural and Cultural Resources
    NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES 4. Natural and Cultural Resources Washington County is rich with natural and historic resources that represent a strong community identity. These scenic features not only contribute to the environmental health and quality of life for Washington County residents, they are tourism assets. The natural environment often dictates how we use land. Development potential for land is dependent on many physical characteristics. Soil conditions, slopes, flood frequency and wetlands all affect where development can safely and feasibly occur. These and other environmentally sensitive features, such as surface water, ground water and air quality, should be given consideration in the planning process. The history of Washington County is important, and awareness and preservation of historical assets is an important activity to continue in the furure. Our historic and cultural resources attract visitors to our area, provide us a touchstone to our past and contribute to the sense of place that makes Washington County a special place to live. Since natural and cultural resources may be affected by future growth and development, it is important to consider these assets when planning the future of Washington County. Supp. No. 14 CP4:59 WASHINGTON COUNTY CODE Natural Resources Physical Geography The majority of Washington County land (95%) lies in the Valley and Ridge physiographic province of Virginia. The Whitetop Mountain area (approximately 5%) in the extreme southeastern corner of the county lies in the Blue Ridge physiographic province. The county consists of a broad valley which extend in a northeast to southwest direction. The valley is bordered by the dominant ridges of Clinch Mountain on the northwest and Iron Mountain on the southeast.

The two reports to be completed consist of: 1) Priority lists: * A priority list of the Commonwealth’s most historically significant state-owned properties that are eligible for, but not designated on, the Virginia Landmarks Register (VLR) pursuant to § 10.1-2206.1; * A priority list of significant state-owned properties, designated on or eligible for the VLR, which are threatened with the loss of historic integrity or functionality; and 2) A biennial status report summarizing actions, decisions, and the condition of proper ties previously identified as priorities. Consistent with prior reports, the 2021 report combines both the priority lists and the sta- tus report in a single document. DHR streamlined it for concision and easy reference, with guidance and reference materials posted to the DHR website’s State Stewardship page.
