Tranquil Pines & Rock Creek Cove 2013 Tranquil Pines & Rock Creek Cove Emergency Information Calendar Dear Neighbor, At Georgia Power – safety is priority one. That includes the safety of our employees and most importantly, the safety of you and your family. The 2013 Tranquil Pines and Rock Creek Cove Emergency Information Calendar contains special information you would need in the unlikely event of a dam emergency at Bartlett’s Ferry Dam or Goat Rock Dam. Georgia Power operates six hydroelectric dams on the Chattahoochee River upstream of Phenix City, Alabama and Columbus, Georgia. The facilities, from north to south, consist of the Langdale, Riverview, Bartlett’s Ferry, Goat Rock, Oliver, and North Highlands projects. You are receiving this information calendar because you live downstream of Goat Rock Dam. If a dam failure or high flow event were to occur at Bartlett’s Ferry Dam or Goat Rock Dam, your area could be flooded relatively quickly. Public notification for evacuation during flood events is normally handled by local emergency management and first responders. To supplement and enhance the way you and the other residents of Tranquil Pines are notified, Georgia Power has installed two warning sirens. This calendar provides Bartlett’s Ferry Dam information about what you should do, where you should go, and who you should contact, if the sirens are activated. There are a couple of items that we would like for you to take special note of with the calendar and accompanying information. The Special Needs Card located in the back is to be used by you or anyone at your location who may have a physical condition that would require special assistance in the event of an evacuation. Please complete and return the card to ensure proper assistance. The information provided will be forwarded on to the Lee County Emergency Management Agency. Also, the sirens are tested the first Wednesday of each month at about 1:00 P.M. This is included in the information that follows but we wanted to remind you of this so you will know when to listen for the weekly test and why it is being sounded. This information calendar will be provided yearly and can also be viewed online at www.georgiapowerlakes.com/bartlettsferry/safety. If you have any questions about the information in the calendar, please contact the Bartlett’s Ferry Land Management Office at (706) 322-0228. Sincerely, Goat Rock Dam Keith Hill Lake Resources Manager Georgia Power Company WARNING SIREN INFORMATION WHAT TO DO IF YOU HEAR SIREN WHO TO CONTACT Georgia Power installed two warning sirens in the If you hear the sirens, you should evacuate Once you have evacuated, contact the Lee County Tranquil Pines area to warn residents in case of immediately.

(1) Use classifications utilized by the State of Alabama are as follows: Outstanding Alabama Water ................... OAW Public Water Supply ......................... PWS Swimming and Other Whole Body Shellfish Harvesting ........................ SH Fish and Wildlife ........................... F&W Limited Warmwater Fishery ................... LWF Agricultural and Industrial Water Supply ................................ A&I (2) Use classifications apply water quality criteria adopted for particular uses based on existing utilization, uses reasonably expected in the future, and those uses not now possible because of correctable pollution but which could be made if the effects of pollution were controlled or eliminated. Of necessity, the assignment of use classifications must take into consideration the physical capability of waters to meet certain uses. (3) Those use classifications presently included in the standards are reviewed informally by the Department's staff as the need arises, and the entire standards package, to include the use classifications, receives a formal review at least once every three years. Efforts currently underway through local 201 planning projects will provide additional technical data on certain waterbodies in the State, information on treatment alternatives, and applicability of various management techniques, which, when available, will hopefully lead to new decisions regarding use classifications. Of particular interest are those segments which are currently classified for any usage which has an associated Supp.

    Warm Springs National Fish Hatchery Annual Report FY-2016 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 5308 Spring Street Warm Springs, GA 31830 _Carlos Echevarria__________ _1/30/17____ Project Leader Date Gulf Coast Striped Bass Restoration Warm Springs NFH distributed Gulf coast striped bass fingerlings in support of restoration objectives set for the species within several river basins in the Southeast. Gulf coast striped bass population had declined significantly due to loss of habitat, including blocked access to historical spawning areas and summer thermal refuges and to water quality degradation. As the need arose for conservation measures, agency directors and commissioners from Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service signed a Cooperative Agreement in 1987, to establish by mutual consensus the restoration of striped bass in the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) river system. The goal of the agreement was “to restore a self-sustaining stock of striped bass to the maximum extent possible. ACF Gulf Striped Bass. Credit: USFWS Preparing for the striped bass season, Josh Simmons and Carlos Echevarria attended Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Warm Water Hatchery meeting February 1st, at the Go Fish Education Center, Perry, GA. They then attended the Southeastern states Morone meeting held at the same location on February 2nd and 3rd. The committee participants reviewed 2015 restoration efforts and set goals for the 2016 production cycle. While production ponds were empty during the winter, they were seeded with rye grass. Air diffusers utilized to provide supplementary aeration during the culture season, were also cleaned, pressure washed and stored until they were reinstalled in the ponds.

    Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division Field Operations Weekly Report August 24-30, 2014 This report is a broad sampling of events that have taken place in the past week, but does not include all actions taken by the Law Enforcement Division. Region I- Calhoun (Northwest) BARTOW COUNTY On August 30th, Cpl. Lee Burns responded to a call of a boat incident in the area of Clark Creek on Allatoona Lake. During a thunderstorm a vessel headed in for cover struck another vessel from behind. The operator of the vessel stated that he could not see due to the heavy rain. Luckily there were no injuries and minor damage to the vessels. CHEROKEE COUNTY RFC Zack Hardy responded to a possible domestic complaint on Allatoona Lake near Little River Marina. When RFC Hardy arrived on scene, Cherokee County Sheriff Deputies had already arrived and interviewed the parties involved. RFC Hardy was advised by the deputies that the vessel that was still on scene came through the no wake zone above idle speed and nearly collided with another vessel and the rocky shoreline. RFC Hardy began to interview the vessel operator and observed signs of impairment. RFC Hardy performed field sobriety and found the operator to be under the influence of alcohol. The operator was placed under arrest for boating under the influence (BUI) and transported to the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center. Sgt. Mike Barr and Cpl. Lee Burns attended the Grand Opening weekend of Cabela’s where 8,000 hunters, fishermen and boaters from around the Southeast swarmed the new store in Acworth, Georgia.
