In an effort to learn the cause of the noise and vibration, Frizell and Elgin conducted field measurements on all four outlet tubes on June 19, 1984, see appendix. They discovered that the outlet tubes in the vicinity of the dresser couplings had a maximum peak-to- peak displacement of 3.47 mils (0.089 mm) at a frequency of about 176 Hz. This frequency corresponds approximately to the audible tone of F below middle C. Their measurements were made with a gate opening of 81 percent. This opening produced a discharge of 4,350 ft3/s per valve at a reservoir elevation of 3697.45. Possible causes for the noise include: a. Cavitation of the valve or man door b.

One of the two dams at the W.H. Weatherspoon Power Plant near Lumberton had previously been classified as posing an intermediate risk, requiring a safety inspection once every five years, while the other dam was exempt from safety inspections. One pond contains coal ash; the other stores water in a cooling pond. A high hazard rating by the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources calls for increasing annual inspections for structural integrity to once a year. “If the coal ash storage pond were to fail, material from the coal ash storage area would likely flow southeast and could impact four occupied homes located closely together on the east side of both the coal ash storage pond and the cooling pond,” said DENR spokesman Jamie Kritzer.

  • Bull Shoals Lake, Arkansas and Missouri
    FINAL OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT BULL SHOALS LAKE ARKANSAS AND MISSOURI Prepared by U.S. Army Engineer District, Little Rock, Arkansas September 1973 Summary Sheet ( ) Draft (X) Final Environmental Statement Responsible Office: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers District Little Rock, Arkansas 1. Name of Action: (X) Administrative ( ) Legislative 2. Description of Action: The operation and maintenance of Bull Shoals Lake consists of hydroelectric power generation, flood control, operation and maintenance of parks, and management of land and water resources. 3. a. Environmental Impacts of the Operation and Maintenance Program. - The generators at Bull Shoals produce much needed electrical energy without air pollution. Generation has created a downstream environment that is dependent on cold water releases. Lake fluctuations change the environment along the shoreline with respect to fish spawning and vegetation survival. The heavy recreational use of the lake results in changes 1n the local environment. The flood control operations preserve and stabilize the downstream environment. b. Adverse Environmental Effects of the Operations and Maintenance Program. - Power generation and flood control regulation result in lake fluctuations that adversely affect vegetation along the shoreline and the fish in the lake. Operation of the parks results in solid waste and sewage disposal problems. Overuse and encroachments cause timber damage and destruction. 4. Alternatives to Present Operation and Maintenance Programs. - The alternatives to the present O&M practices would be modification or total cessation of hydroelectric power generation, flood control, recreational activities, and management practices. 5. Comments reguested: Soil Conservation Service U.S. Forest Service Department of Interior Environmental Protection Agency Arkansas Department of Commerce Missouri Water Resources Board 6.

  • Forestry Management Plan Prepared by Shaun Collins
    Wolfe Creek Preserve Official Home of Branson Zipline & Canopy Tours Forestry Management Plan Prepared by Shaun Collins 1 Mission Branson Ziplines’ mission is to create a “eco-adventure” enterprise that will evoke a spirit of adventure in patrons and inspire them to become involved in the conservation and protection of the environment, by combining ecological education focused on the intrinsic value of the land with recreational outdoor entertainment. Location of Wolfe Creek Preserve Branson Ziplines is located on Wolfe Creek Preserve, which consist of 31.25 acres in Southern Missouri, approximately 25 miles south of Springfield and 5 miles north of Branson. Access to the property is obtained from the north bound lane of US Highway 65, just ¾ mile south of State Highway 176 East and only 2 miles north of US Highway 160. The property is legally described as being located in the Southeast ¼ of the Northeast ¼ of Section 17, Township 24 North, Range 21 West, in Taney County. 2 Ecological Classification Wolfe Creek Preserve is located in the Bull Creek Dolomite Glade/Oak Woodland Breaks landtype association of the White River Hills subsection, of the Ozark Highlands section, of the Eastern Broadleaf Forest. Soils 73227 Ocie-Gatewood Complex This soil consists of moderately deep, moderately well drained, slowly permeable soils formed in gravelly hillslope sediments and the underlying residuum from cherty dolomite. These soils are found along the upland drainages saddles, benches, and sideslopes. Slopes range from 15 to 35 percent. Depth to bedrock is greater than 40 inches. 73427 Gasconade-Gatewood-Rock Outcrop Complex This soil consists of shallow and very shallow, somewhat excessively drained, moderately slowly permeable soils formed in thin clayey layers, with a considerable amount of coarse fragments, from residuum of the underlying dolomite bedrock.

Friends of the North Fork and White Rivers (Friends) does not agree with the re categorization of Norfork Tailwater section from Impaired (Category 5) to Non-impaired with TMDL – Category 1.b. Friends understanding of why a stream would be re-designated as Category 1b-Non-Impaired stream is that the last time data was collected by ADEQ for the waterbody, it was meeting its standard [6 ppm] at a given location. However, because of its history of poor dissolved oxygen(DO) conditions, it will continue to have a TMDL (6 ppm µg/L) standard that must be met. The TMDL standard is a minimum DO level for trout, not an optimum level. Mild degradation of the trout community occurs at this DO level and continues in severity of degradation with lower DO levels. Fish kills continue to occur at times due to low DO levels during critical periods.
