It establishes that: The State of North Carolina offers unique archaeologic, geologic, biologic, scenic and recreational resources. These resources are part of the heritage of the people of this State. The heritage of a people should be preserved and managed by those people for their use and for the use of their visitors and descendants. PARK PURPOSE: Lake James was developed for hydroelectric purposes by Duke Power Company in 1923. Lake James State Park was established in 1987, becoming the first North Carolina State Park created under the provisions of the State Parks Act of 1987. It is also the first park in the history of the state to receive funds for acquisition, development, and operation upon its creation. The park serves residents and visitors of North Carolina by providing opportunities for appropriate outdoor recreational use; providing the ability and facilities for viewing and enjoying the major scenic values of the area; protecting wildlife and natural communities within its boundaries; and providing interpretive and environmental programs that allow visitors to learn about the significant resources of the area.

  • Tennessee Reference Stream Morphology and Large Woody Debris Assessment
    Tennessee Reference Stream Morphology and Large Woody Debris Assessment Report and Guidebook Prepared for: Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation Prepared by: Jennings Environmental, LLC December 2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report includes reference stream morphology and large woody debris data collected throughout Tennessee in 2015-2017. Hydraulic geometry data are presented as regional curves for Ecoregions 66, 67, 68/69, 71, and 65/74 to support stream assessment and restoration planning. Morphology relationships describe bankfull channel dimensions, pattern, and profile measurements in relation to channel-forming discharge and watershed drainage area. Large woody debris (LWD) data collected at reference streams serve as an indicator of natural stream conditions in forested floodplains. These databases and relationships are valuable for assessing disturbed streams to evaluate degree of departure from equilibrium, selecting and planning restoration projects to improve natural stream functions, and monitoring changes in stream conditions in undisturbed and restored stream systems. These databases should be supplemented with additional information collected during site assessment and restoration planning to improve understanding of local stream conditions throughout Tennessee. The morphology data collection included 114 undisturbed streams ranging in width from 3 to 132 feet with watershed drainage areas ranging from 0.02 to 117 square miles. Wherever available, United States Geological Survey (USGS) gage station sites were surveyed to provide long-term hydrologic information close to the reference stream. Bankfull stage indicators at a USGS gage provided the opportunity to quantify the channel-forming discharge and exceedance probability of this flow event. For reference streams with no gages, natural equilibrium stream segments with clearly identifiable incipient-floodplain bankfull stage indicators were surveyed to determine morphology parameters.

  • The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio
    THE STRUCTURAL IMBALANCE OF POLITICAL TALK RADIO A Joint Report by The Center for American Progress and Free Press June 21, 2007 Center for American Progress Authors John Halpin, Senior Fellow and Executive Speechwriter James Heidbreder, Research Intern Mark Lloyd, Senior Fellow Paul Woodhull, Special Adviser Free Press Authors Ben Scott, Policy Director Josh Silver, Executive Director S. Derek Turner, Research Director Report Design and Layout, Center for American Progress Adorna Williams, Art Director Andrew Pratt, Special Assistant Shannon Ryan, Graphic Designer Introduction espite the dramatic expansion of viewing and listening options for consum- ers today, traditional radio remains one of the most widely used media Dformats in America. Arbitron, the national radio ratings company, reports that more than 90 percent of Americans ages 12 or older listen to radio each week, “a higher penetration than television, magazines, newspapers, or the Internet.”1 Although listening hours have declined slightly in recent years, Americans listened on average to 19 hours of radio per week in 2006.2 Among radio formats, the combined news/talk format (which includes news/talk/ information and talk/personality) leads all others in terms of the total number of sta- tions per format and trails only country music in terms of national audience share.3 Through more than 1,700 stations across the nation, the combined news/talk format is estimated to reach more than 50 million listeners each week.4 As this report will document in detail, conservative talk radio undeniably dominates the format: ß Our analysis in the spring of 2007 of the 257 news/talk stations owned by the top fi ve commercial station owners reveals that 91 percent of the total weekday talk radio programming is conservative, and 9 percent is progressive.
