The images used on the front and back covers are If your soul can belong to provided through the generosity, time, and talent of a place, mine belongs here. Genia Stadler of Sevierville, Tennessee. Genia Stadler When asked to describe herself and her love for the Smokies, she said, “I was born in Alabama, but Tennessee always felt like home to me. My love for the Smokies started as a small child. My daddy brought me here each summer before he passed away. I was 9 when he died, and by then I had fallen in love with the Smokies. My husband (Gary) and I had the chance to build a cabin and move here in 2002, so we jumped at the chance. Since then, we’ve been exploring the park as often as we can. We’ve probably hiked over 300 miles of the park’s trails (many repeats), and I’m trying to pass my love for this place on to my two children and two grandchildren.

  • New Design Water Treatment Plant /'7I.E.C
    Final Report Potomac River Source Water ~s.ejgitllm~tsjjK.,..~IW1I~ for Marylan . Prepared by: Becker and O'Melia, LLC in association with Straughan Environmental Services, Inc. Becker and O'Melia, LLC WATER PROCESS RESEARCHERS AND CONSULTANTS POTOMAC SOURCE WATER ASSESSMENTS Introduction The 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments required states to develop and implement source water assessment prograIlli to evaluate the safety of all public drinking water systems. A Source Water Assessment (SWA) is a process for evaluating the vulnerability to contamination ofthe source of a public drinking water supply. The assessment does not address the treatment processes, or the storage and distribution aspects of the water system, which are covered under separate provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act. The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) is the lead state agency in this source water assessment effort. There are three main steps in the assessment process: (1) delineating the watershed drainage area that is likely to contribute to the drinking water supply, (2) identijYing potential contaminants within that area and (3) assessing the vulnerability, or susceptibility, of the system to those contaminants. Public notification is the final component of the source water assessment report process. The goal of the source water assessment program is to provide a framework for local stakeholders and governments in developing a Source Water Protection Plan. The source water assessments for Maryland water systems utilizing the Potomac River was undertaken as a joint effort by MDE, the Washington Suburban Sanitary Conunission (WSSC), and several consultants, including The Center for Watershep Ptotection, and Becker & O'Melia, the lead consultant.

  • Project Data Sheets for National Park Service
    Total Project Score/Ranking: N/A NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Planned Funding FY: 2021 $14,116,000 Project Data Sheet Funding Source: Legacy Restoration Fund Project Identification Project Title: Maintenance Action Team Project Number: DOI #N001 Unit/Facility Name: Multiple Region/Area/District: Multiple Congressional District: Multiple State: Multiple Project Justification DOI Asset Code FRPP Unique Id# API: FCI-Before: N/A N/A N/A N/A Project Description: Utilizing the Legacy Restoration Fund, the NPS's Historic Preservation Training Center (HPTC) and Historic Architecture, & Engineering Center (HACE) will stand up a pilot program during FY21 consisting of Preservation Maintenance Action Teams (MATs) to complete rehabilitation and preservation projects on historic assets. These assets make up 25 percent of the NPS facility portfolio. The MAT will perform the following types of projects: preservation and stabilization of fortification masonry scarp walls; rehabilitation of masonry comfort station exteriors; battlefield monument care and maintenance; specialized repair and painting of windows in several structures at various parks; replacing roofs in-kind (ranging from wood shingle to slate); and rehabilitating culverts, trails and trail bridges, cultural landscapes and their historic features. The maintenance work will improve the condition of the asset by extending the life of the critical systems which may include components of the exterior envelope, superstructure, or interior features— ultimately preserving the cultural resource and its contents. Staff training and hands-on education will provide NPS personnel with skillsets that will last decades. Training and capacity in the traditional trades, appropriate materials selection, and treatment approaches will help parks reduce life cycle costs—especially since many assets with deteriorated conditions are the result of prior use of incompatible materials, lack of trained staff, attrition of skilled craftspeople, budget shortfalls, or a failure to prioritize preservation of the resource.

  • An Archaeological Inventory of Alamance County, North Carolina
    AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVENTORY OF ALAMANCE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA Alamance County Historic Properties Commission August, 2019 AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVENTORY OF ALAMANCE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA A SPECIAL PROJECT OF THE ALAMANCE COUNTY HISTORIC PROPERTIES COMMISSION August 5, 2019 This inventory is an update of the Alamance County Archaeological Survey Project, published by the Research Laboratories of Anthropology, UNC-Chapel Hill in 1986 (McManus and Long 1986). The survey project collected information on 65 archaeological sites. A total of 177 archaeological sites had been recorded prior to the 1986 project making a total of 242 sites on file at the end of the survey work. Since that time, other archaeological sites have been added to the North Carolina site files at the Office of State Archaeology, Department of Natural and Cultural Resources in Raleigh. The updated inventory presented here includes 410 sites across the county and serves to make the information current. Most of the information in this document is from the original survey and site forms on file at the Office of State Archaeology and may not reflect the current conditions of some of the sites. This updated inventory was undertaken as a Special Project by members of the Alamance County Historic Properties Commission (HPC) and published in-house by the Alamance County Planning Department. The goals of this project are three-fold and include: 1) to make the archaeological and cultural heritage of the county more accessible to its citizens; 2) to serve as a planning tool for the Alamance County Planning Department and provide aid in preservation and conservation efforts by the county planners; and 3) to serve as a research tool for scholars studying the prehistory and history of Alamance County.

  • Fort Harry: a Phenomenon in the Great Smoky Mountains
    The Blount Journal, Fall 2003 FORT HARRY: A PHENOMENON IN THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK Submitted By Pete Prince, author of ©Ghost Towns in the Great Smokies Seasoned hikers in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park claim echoes of the Cherokee Indians are still heard at the site of the old Civil War fortification within the Park, yet ten million tourists annually drive through the site of Fort Harry unaware such a place ever existed. The site of this historical fort is unmarked and unnoticed on a main highway in the nation's most visited park. Fort Harry, a Confederate fort, was built in 1862 by Cherokee Confederate troops and white Highlanders. The fort was to prevent Federal forces from Knoxville and East Tennessee from destroying the Alum Cave Mines on the side of Mount LeConte which provided gunpowder and chemicals for the Confederacy. Built on a bluff. Fort Harry looked straight down on the Old Indian Road leading to Indian Gap, the Oconaluftee Turnpike and Western North Carolina. The Federal troops did raid Western North Carolina but it was by way of Newport, Asbury Trail, Mount Sterling, Cataloochee, Waynesville and Oconalufree. Fort Harry was at the 3300-foot elevation of the Great Smoky Mountains eight miles south of Gatlinburg, TN. The Confederate army confiscated the Sugarlands farm of Steve Cole for Fort Harry. Cole Creek is nearby. Fort Harry was on a ridge on West Prong Little Pigeon River .03 mile south of today's intersection of Road Prong and Walker Camp Prong. The fort site is on ^ewfound Gap Road 6.0 miles south of the Sugarlands Visitor Center at Gatlinburg dnd 0.5 miles north of the first tunnel at the Chimney Tops parking area on Newfound Gap Road.

  • The Integration of Campsites in Cultural Landscapes: Architectural Actions on the Catalan Coast, Spain
    sustainability Article The Integration of Campsites in Cultural Landscapes: Architectural Actions on the Catalan Coast, Spain Xavier Martín * , Anna Martínez and Isabela de Rentería IAR Group, School of Architecture La Salle, Ramon Llull University, 08022 Barcelona, Spain; [email protected] (A.M.); [email protected] (I.d.R.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 June 2020; Accepted: 6 August 2020; Published: 12 August 2020 Abstract: Over the last 60 years, the development of tourism in Spain has produced an unprecedented occupation of the territory. Urban growth, hotels and infrastructures have transformed much of the natural environment. This phenomenon has irreversibly altered conditions of regions with great landscape value, putting their cultural heritage at risk. Yet, the campsite is a model of tourist settlement based on shared living in the open natural space. It promotes minimal and temporary interventions in the territory, by means of transportable accommodations with precise occupations of place, leaving a slight footprint. Therefore, architecture contributes to affording the order and services that these individual artifacts cannot provide by themselves. In terms of slight land occupation and natural qualities preservation, the campsite has proven to be one of the most responsible tourist models. It is an opportunity for the future: a resource for landscape integration and local dynamics reactivation.

Focusing on end-users, this research fosters cultural identity preservation and responsible communal living in nature.
