  • An Inventory of the Significant Natural Areas of Ashe County, North Carolina
    Executive Summary An Inventory of the Significant Natural Areas of Ashe County, North Carolina North Carolina Natural Heritage Program Funding provided by: North Carolina Natural Heritage Trust Fund July 1999 SIGNIFICANT NATURAL HERITAGE SITES OF ASHE COUNTY Ashe County is located at the northwestern corner of North Carolina, entirely within the Blue Ridge Province of the Southern Appalachian Mountains. In Ashe County the Blue Ridge is divided into two regions based on landforms and geology: the Unaka Range and the Blue Ridge Range. The northern and northwestern parts of the county, north of the North Fork New River, are contained within the Unaka Range region. The remaining two-thirds of Ashe County falls within the Blue Ridge Range, including all areas south of the North Fork New River. The rolling mountains and valleys of the New River plateau in southeastern Ashe County and the large cluster of high mountains in central and southwestern Ashe County are included within this region. The southeastern border of the county roughly follows the top of the Blue Ridge Escarpment, the steep boundary between the Blue Ridge and the Piedmont. As is typical in the Blue Ridge, the landscape of the county is a complex of mountains and valleys that are oriented in a variety of directions. The elevational range of the mountain peaks is from 2480 feet to 5160 feet, with an average of about 3000 feet. Ashe County contains a greater amount of rare mafic rock types than any other mountain county in the state. Mafic rock types are those that are high in minerals such as magnesium, iron, and calcium and which weather to unusually nutrient-rich high pH (basic) soils.

  • Introduction to the Southern Blue Ridge Ecoregional Conservation Plan
    SOUTHERN BLUE RIDGE ECOREGIONAL CONSERVATION PLAN Summary and Implementation Document March 2000 THE NATURE CONSERVANCY and the SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN FOREST COALITION Southern Blue Ridge Ecoregional Conservation Plan Summary and Implementation Document Citation: The Nature Conservancy and Southern Appalachian Forest Coalition. 2000. Southern Blue Ridge Ecoregional Conservation Plan: Summary and Implementation Document. The Nature Conservancy: Durham, North Carolina. This document was produced in partnership by the following three conservation organizations: The Nature Conservancy is a nonprofit conservation organization with the mission to preserve plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive. The Southern Appalachian Forest Coalition is a nonprofit organization that works to preserve, protect, and pass on the irreplaceable heritage of the region’s National Forests and mountain landscapes. The Association for Biodiversity Information is an organization dedicated to providing information for protecting the diversity of life on Earth. ABI is an independent nonprofit organization created in collaboration with the Network of Natural Heritage Programs and Conservation Data Centers and The Nature Conservancy, and is a leading source of reliable information on species and ecosystems for use in conservation and land use planning. Photocredits: Robert D. Sutter, The Nature Conservancy EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This first iteration of an ecoregional plan for the Southern Blue Ridge is a compendium of hypotheses on how to conserve species nearest extinction, rare and common natural communities and the rich and diverse biodiversity in the ecoregion. The plan identifies a portfolio of sites that is a vision for conservation action, enabling practitioners to set priorities among sites and develop site-specific and multi-site conservation strategies.

I. Introduction The USDA Forest Service is soliciting proposals from interested parties to provide commercial whitewater outfitter and guide services for the Cheoah Ranger District on the Cheoah River located in Graham County, North Carolina. The forest intends to authorize four new special use permits as a result of this offering. This offering will allow individuals or organizations to conduct outfitter and guide services on National Forest lands within the areas described in this prospectus.

  • Hazard Ranking System (Hrs) Documentation Record Cover Sheet
    HAZARD RANKING SYSTEM (HRS) DOCUMENTATION RECORD COVER SHEET Name of Site: Ore Knob Mine EPA ID No.: NCN000409895 Contact Persons Documentation Record: Jennifer Wendel, National Priorities List Coordinator U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4 61 Forsyth Street, S.W., 11th Floor Atlanta, Georgia 30303 (404) 562-8799 Pathways, Components, or Threats Not Scored The ground water migration, soil exposure, and air migration pathways were not scored in this Hazard Ranking System (HRS) documentation record because they are not expected to significantly contribute to the overall score. Ground Water Migration Pathway: Actual contamination at Level I concentrations is present in two private drinking water wells that serve about 5 people and actual contamination at Level II concentrations is present in three private drinking water wells that serve about 9 people (Refs. 2, p. BII-8; 5, Appendix A, Table A.5-2; 54). Additional private wells may be located within the 4-mile radius of Ore Knob Mine. Some residents within a 4-mile radius of Ore Knob Mine obtain drinking water from a surface water intake maintained by the City of Jefferson (Ref. 21). Soil Exposure Pathway: About 128 people reside within 1 mile of Ore Knob Mine (Ref. 53, p. 1). The surrounding area is very rural, largely undeveloped, and sparsely populated. About 6 residences are located in the vicinity of areas formerly mined for copper (Ref. 5, Figure 3-5). Soil samples were collected on three residential properties (Ref. 5, Table 3-5, Appendix A, Table A.5-1). Metals (cadmium, chromium, zinc, etc.) were detected at levels both above and below the levels detected in background samples for the site.

Box 576 Badin, NC 28009 Subject: Comments on LIHI recertification, Tapoco Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. P-2169) Dear Marshall: The purpose of this letter is to provide information for Alcoa Power Generating Inc (APGI) to use in its application for recertification by the Low Impact Hydropower Institute (LIHI). On July 25, 2005, the LIHI certified Alcoa's Tapoco Hydroelectric Project as Low Impact. That certificate is set to expire July 25, 2013. The Tapoco project consists of four powerhouses and four dams in eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina totaling 350 megawatts (MW) of electric generation capacity, which power Alcoa Tennessee Operations near Knoxville. The project is located on the Little Tennessee and Cheoah Rivers and is owned and operated by Alcoa Power Generating Inc. The Tapoco Project includes four developments - Santeetlah Development, Cheoah Development, Calderwood Development, and Chilhowee Development. The Tapoco Project extends along the Little Tennessee River from about River Mile 33 to just above RM 60, downstream of the Tennessee Valley Authority Fontana Dam. Chilhowee, Calderwood and Cheoah developments and Santeetlah Powerhouse are located on the Little Tennessee River. Santeetlah Dam and Reservoir are located on the Cheoah River, a tributary to the Little Tennessee River. The Project Boundary encompasses much of the Cheoah River corridor downstream of the Santeetlah Dam. Background USFWS Participation. The Fish and Wildlife Service was an active participant in the collaborative relicensing process.
