After several motions and maneuvering, city council voted 7-2 for the multi-page document with Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis and Councilwoman Brenda Palmer voting NO. Revising the old sign regulations saw controversy throughout the Sign Task Force’s nearly four-year effort.

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. -

Invade the Southeast by Nancy Fraley, National Park Service
National Park Service Exotic Plant Management Teams Invade the Southeast by Nancy Fraley, National Park Service odeled after the approach used M in wildland fire fighting, Exotic Plant Management Teams (EPMTs) provide highly trained, mobile strike forces of plant management specialists to assist national park units in the control of invasive, exot- ic plants. Each Exotic Plant Management Team employs the expertise of local experts and the capabilities of local agen- cies. Each sets its own work priorities based on the following factors: severity of threat to high-quality natural areas and rare species; extent of targeted infestation; probability of successful control and potential for restoration; opportunities for public involvement; and park commitment to follow-up monitoring and treatment. In the southeastern United States, 40 nation- al park units now can call upon the resources of an EPMT. The success of this initiative derives, in part, from the ability of these teams to adapt to the needs and conditions of the individual parks they serve. As of January 2004, the National Park Service (NPS) has established three EPMTs in the southeastern US. Nationwide there are 17 EPMTs serving national park units. These teams are funded through the NPS Natural Resource Challenge, a multidisci- plinary five-year program established in 1999 to strengthen natural resource man- agement within the national park system. The teams represent a formidable tool for invasive, exotic plant control and play an integral role in reaching the goals identi- fied in the NPS Natural Resource Challenge. Today, exotic plants infest some 2.6 million acres in the National Park System, reducing the natural diversity of these great places. -

First Term Congressman On The Job BY DAVID C. CROUCH The rising hum of activity was clearly audible as the 435 representatives of the 92nd Congress assembled in the House chamber for the opening ceremonies of the first session. Bipartisan greetings between the repre sentatives were evident, and legislators, who in the coming months would square off in legislative con frontation, appeared quite jovial. The increasing rumble of voices and the rustling of paper by pageboys beginning their task of daily distributing bills and copies of the legislative calendar were suddenly silenced by the resounding echo of Speaker Carl Albert's gavel as he calleii the first session to order. For 48 freshmen representatives, two years of per petual motion had begun. The sound of the gavel had ended the welcome rest after the November elections and had initiated the seemingly endless committee meet ings, general House sessions, personal appearances and routine daily appointments that crowd a congressman's HARDING schedule. -
Outstandingly Remarkable Values, Obed Wild and Scenic River
National Park Service OBED WILD AND SCENIC RIVER U.S. Department of the Interior TENNESSEE OUtstANDINGLY REMARKABLE VALUES Dear Friends of the Obed Wild and Scenic River, What comes to mind when you think about the Obed Wild and Scenic River? A wild river and its tributaries flowing through a rugged landscape of spectacular gorges? The thrill of a demanding whitewater boating experience? A family-friendly place to explore the magnificent scenery of the Cumberland Plateau? A place that compels us to learn about the abundant diversity of a fragile ecosystem or to better understand the history of those who thrived on this land before us? The Obed Wild and Scenic River is all of this, and much more. To help us protect this river system for the benefit and enjoyment of future generations, we have contemplated this very question to determine what makes it truly outstandingly remarkable. Based on the hard work of my staff and others within the National Park Service, I am pleased to present to you the outstandingly remarkable values of the Obed Wild and Scenic River. The statements that follow have been developed to provide a strong foundation for the future management and protection of this nationally significant river system—to help us focus our daily attention on the river’s most important aspects. I urge you to read these statements and to share your thoughts with us about what makes the Obed so outstandingly remarkable to you. Thank you for sharing your passion for the Obed Wild and Scenic River by helping to shape its future.
