We expanded to 5 supporting the creation of the new Flint employees to meet the increasing demands for the Riverkeeper. We held Paddle Georgia 2008 on the work we do, with the addition of Jan Kearce and Flint River to highlight the need to protect this Julie Goldberg to our staff. It’s exciting to see how special river. Before 2008, there was no organized, far we have come and know there is still so much citizen‐based effort to protect the Flint. The Flint to do.

The Flint faced new threats in 2008 as old proposals to dam the Flint were revived. President Jimmy Carter stopped the damming of the Flint in the 1970’s and rejoined the fight alongside the Flint Riverkeeper and GRN when he joined us for the Paddle Georgia 2008 End of Trip Celebration.

EMPOWER: GRN Supports Georgia’s 40+ River Groups Georgia River Network’s Watershed Support Coordinator, Jesslyn Shields (left), worked with dozens of Georgia’s river groups in 2008 to empower them to protect their watersheds. She does this by providing direct assistance, training, resources and tools for river protection. She also organized the annual conference and workshops on campaign planning and grant writing.

Over 120 people from all over Georgia attended the conference in Rome to learn how to better protect their rivers, tell their stories, and celebrate their successes. Each year, we organize Georgia’s “River Celebration Awards” to recognize the tireless efforts of volunteers, river groups, and conservationists working to protect Georgia’s rivers.

We were able to re‐grant $57,000 to these river groups to address non‐point source pollution and promote water efficiency : • Altamaha Riverkeeper – Darien • Chattooga Conservancy – Clayton • Coosa River Basin Initiative – Rome • Ogeechee Canoochee Riverkeeper – Statesboro • Satilla Riverkeeper –Waynesville • Savannah Riverkeeper – Augusta Photo Credit: Joe Cook ADVOCATE: GRN Fights for Protections for GA Rivers Georgia’s drought continued to emphasize the need Photo Credit: Joe Cook to keep Georgia’s waters clean and use them wisely. We were a voice for Georgia’s rivers at the Statehouse, in metro‐Atlanta, and with state agencies. One great example is our work with the Georgia Water Coalition to defeat Amendment 3 on the Nov. Ballot. Amendment 3 was backed by a well financed campaign of powerful big businesses and would have given developers the power to levy taxes to build large, private residential developments. It was officially opposed only by the Georgia Water Coalition and its member groups, which makes that victory particularly our own.

  • Rights of Way Endangered Species Survey for the Northeast Region of Georgia
    RIGHTS OF WAY ENDANGERED SPECIES SURVEY FOR THE NORTHEAST REGION OF GEORGIA. The Northeast Region ofGeorgia includes 24 counties: Banks, Barrows, Clarke, Dawson, Elbert, Fannin, Forsyth, Franklin, Greene, Habersham, Hart, Hall, Jackson, Lumpkin, Madison, Morgan, Oconee, Oglethorpe, Rabun, Stephens, Towns, Union, Walton and White. Based on The Georgia Natural Heritage Inventory records, the following plants and plant community locations were searched for on Georgia Power Company rights ofways: Georgia aster - Aster georgianus Dwarfstonecrop - Sedum pusillum Indian olive - Nestronia umbellulua Silky bindweed - Calystegia catesbiana ssp. sericata Smooth purple coneflower - Echinacea laevigata (Federal Endangered) Ginseng - Panax quinquefolius Pipewort - Eriocaulon koemickianum American Milkwort - Pilularia Americana Granite outcrop (shrub, bare rock, lichen) communities There are three maintenance concerns. Two are minor concerns in Walton county with granite outcrops communities. (See Walton county summary) and one in Stephens county with smooth purnle coneflower (See Stephens county summary). Discussion and recommendations: A few ofthe Northeast Region counties are located in the mountains and foothill region ofGeorgia, but most are in the Piedmont. Much of the Georgia mountain region is owned and managed by the United States Forest Service. Georgia Power has large holdings in this area as well and has been involved with protected species (persistent trillium Trillium persistents and the green salamander aneides aeneus) on company lands at Tallulah Gorge, but these species locations are not close to Georgia Power rights ofways so there are no concerns for right ofway maintenance. The majority oflocations in this region, are within the Piedmont province. Due to a long history ofearly European use (and misuse) for settlement, agriculture and logging, the original Piedmont plant communities ofGeorgia have been altered drastically over the past 2 centuries.

Hains, Committee Chair Dr. Steven Klaine Dr. Mark Schlautman ABSTRACT The Upper Savannah River watershed has numerous impoundments, and the three largest hydroelectric reservoirs, from north to south, are Hartwell, Richard B. Russell, and J. Strom Thurmond Lakes. During the summer months, these reservoirs undergo thermal and chemical stratification, which results in the formation of cool, hypoxic/anoxic hypolimnia and warm, oxic epilimnion. To maintain fisheries habitat, the United States Army Corps of Engineers operates a hypolimnetic oxygenation system in the forebay of Richard B. Russell Lake. The purpose of this system is to improve the water quality of the releases from Richard B.

  • Appendix D Wild and Scenic Rivers
    CHATTAHOOCHEE-OCONEE NATIONAL FORESTS APPENDIX D WILD AND SCENIC RIVERS The Wild and Scenic Rivers (WSR) Act of 1968 established the National WSR System. The Rivers analyzed in this Appendix are being assessed, through the Forest planning process, as being suitable for designation as part of the National WSR System. The rivers were identified by nomination by the public, by aquatic professionals, and by the Forest’s Ranger Districts. Eighty-eight streams were suggested in the beginning.
