Map Appendix 10072010.124 CEDS PLANS Introduction The dispersal of population into once remote and rural areas has caused land consumption to soar. According to the U.S. Bureau of Census Data on Urbanized Areas, from 1970 to 1990, Atlanta experienced a 161.3% growth in total land area, while Chattanooga showed an expansion of 120.1%. These two metro areas are linked by Interstate 75, and as they grow together, they will consume much unprotected land in the fifteen-county region. While population growth is a factor in land consumption, development patterns are as important. From 1970 to 1990, the population of Detroit decreased by 7%, while sprawl increased by 28%.

  • Third Infantry Division Highway Corridor Study
    THIRD INFANTRY DIVISION HIGHWAY CORRIDOR STUDY Task 7 Study Alignments and Design Levels Draft Technical Memorandum 1. Executive Summary Section 1927 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA‐LU) (P.L. 109‐59) requires “a report that describes the steps and estimated funding necessary to designate and construct a route for the 3rd Infantry Division Highway,” extending from Savannah, Georgia to Knoxville, Tennessee, byy wa of Augusta, Georgia. The intent of this study is to develop planning level cost estimates for potential corridors connecting these urban areas. This information will be presented to Congress to fulfill the statutory language and present an overview of the steps necessary to construct such a corridor. The study is not intended to select an alternative for implementation; it will not necessarily lead to any further planning, design, right‐of‐way acquisition, or construction activities for any specific highway improvement. This technical memorandum recommends initial study corridors and design levels for the 3rd Infantry Division Highway corridors along with supporting justification and the rationale for the recommendations. Input from the Expert Working Group (EWG) was considered during the development of the Alignments and Design Levels. The EWG is a panel of area transportation officials and federal resource agencies that helps guide the project. The EWG serves as a sounding board to weigh technical options, examine issues from multiple perspectives and, by drawing upon its collective experience, help the team solve problems. Tasks 8‐9 in the study involve examining any corridors recommended for additional study in greater detail.

Please accept these comments on behalf of the Chattooga Conservancy, Defenders of Wildlife, Georgia ForestWatch, Sierra Club, Southern Environmental Law Center, and The Wilderness Society. As you know, many of us have participated in the process to develop the Foothills Landscape Project (“Foothills Project” or the “Project”) from the very beginning. We have attended nearly every public meeting, field trip, workshop, and symposium. We submitted comments at every formal and informal opportunity and we participated in the agency’s online discussion forum. Every time we saw a problem, we named it; every time we could offer support, we did. We have done everything the agency has asked of us even when we questioned the value in it. We continue to do that in this letter, recommending ways to improve the various proposed treatments even though we are deeply troubled by your approach to implementing those treatments. The staff of the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest (“the Chattahoochee” or “the Forest”) has clearly put significant time and energy into this project, which we greatly appreciate. But they are being told to force a square peg through a round hole – and its shows.

E. Thompson, Acting Governor Commissioner Ex-Officio, State Division of Conservation Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith Georgia Geological Survey Bulletin No. 54, "Geology and Mineral Resources of the Paleozoic Area in North­ west Georgia," by Charles Butts and Benjamin Gildersleeve. The publica­ tion of this bulletin at this time fills an urgent and long-felt need for an up-to-date treatise upon the geology and mineral resources in one of Georgia's most active commercial mining areas. The report contains a manuscript on the geology and stratigraphy, a companion manuscript on the economic minerals of the area, a mineral map and a geologic map, both of which are on a scale large enough to be of practical use. It is believed that this report will be received with universal approval and utilization by both geologists and industrialists.
