The dam was the first project built by the Tennessee Valley more than 3,000 miles of clean creeks, streams and rivers, mostly from the Authority (TVA). Construction was started on October 1, 1933, completed mountains. Since the lake is not fed by any major dam, the water is much March 1936 and filled by 1937.

At the lake’s normal summer pool of 1020 feet (above sea level), there are over 34,200 acres of surface water. Over a normal year, the lake Norris Lake was named after George W.

  • NORRIS FREEWAY CORRIDOR MANAGEMENT PLAN Prepared by the City of Norris, Tennessee June 2020 SECTION 1: ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
    NORRIS FREEWAY CORRIDOR MANAGEMENT PLAN Prepared by the City of Norris, Tennessee June 2020 SECTION 1: ESSENTIAL INFORMATION Location. Norris Freeway is located in the heart of the eastern portion of the Tennessee Valley. The Freeway passes over Norris Dam, whose location was selected to control the flooding caused by heavy rains in the Clinch and Powell River watershed. Beside flood control, there were a range of conditions that were to be addressed: the near absence of electrical service in rural areas, erosion and 1 landscape restoration, and a new modern road leading to Knoxville (as opposed to the dusty dirt and gravel roads that characterized this part of East Tennessee). The Freeway starts at US 25W in Rocky Top (once known as Coal Creek) and heads southeast to the unincorporated community of Halls. Along the way, it crosses Norris Dam, runs by several miles of Norris Dam State Park, skirts the City of Norris and that town’s watershed and greenbelt. Parts of Anderson County, Campbell County and Knox County are traversed along the route. Date of Local Designation In 1984, Norris Freeway was designated as a Tennessee Scenic Highway by the Tennessee Department of Transportation. Some folks just call such routes “Mockingbird Highways,” as the Tennessee State Bird is the image on the signs designating these Scenic Byways. Intrinsic Qualities Virtually all the intrinsic qualities come into play along Norris Freeway, particularly Historic and Recreational. In fact, those two characteristics are intertwined in this case. For instance, Norris Dam and the east side of Norris Dam State Park are on the National Register of Historic Places.

    Birds of Norris Dam State Park 125 Village Green Circle, Lake City, Tennessee 37769 / 800 543-9335 Waterfowl, great blue and green herons, gulls, osprey and bald eagle frequent the lake, and the forests harbor great numbers of migratory birds in the spring and fall. Over 105 species of birds have been observed throughout the year. Below the dam look for orchard and northern orioles, eastern bluebirds, sparrows and tree swallows. Responsible Birding - Do not endanger the welfare of birds. - Tread lightly and respect bird habitat. - Silence is golden. - Do not use electronic sound devices to attract birds during nesting season, May-July. - Take extra care when in a nesting area. - Always respect the law and the rights of others, violators subject to prosecution. - Do not trespass on private property. - Avoid pointing your binoculars at other people or their homes. - Limit group sizes in areas that are not conducive to large crowds.

Centric diatoms, silica-scaled chrysophytes and a desmid, Gonatozygon monotaenium, are the dominant components of the plankton algal community developed in autumn, 1998, in the Norris Lake (Tennessee, USA). This is the first and preliminary contribution to the Norris Lake phytoplankton. Keywords : Phytoplankton, centric diatoms, desmid, Norris Lake, Tennessee, USA Basic information about the Norris Lake Norris Lake is located about 30 miles north-west from Knoxville, Tennesee. It was created in 1936 by the damming of the Clinch River, one of the main tributaries of the Tennessee River, on the border of two counties, Union and Campbell. As a project of Tennessee Val­ ley Authority it serves both as a water reservoir and for recreational activities. The surface area varies between summer and winter as it is intentionally drained in winter to provide room for spring floods or rains.

  • 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.

  • TN SP Assessment Report
    Data Driven Sustainable Trail Management Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation | Report | May 2018 A trail system is most effective when it is based on sustainable trail design and maintenance. Tennessee State Parks assessed all trails within our parks system, with the exception of the Justin P. Wilson Cumberland Trail, in order to better understand what current trail issues exist and where they lie spatially within our system (the Cumberland Trail was exempt from this assessment due to it still being under construction). This report focuses on the methodology in which the assessment was conducted, the analyzation of the data that was collected, and the suggested method in which to correct the identified issues. As with the nature of nature, the data that was collected is subject to change. However it is seen that this report is still a valid representation of the trail system condition of Tennessee State Parks. Key Findings Most unsustainable trail problems are directly related to the original trail design and layout. Many of Tennessee State Parks’ trails were built before the 1990s, which was when sustainable trail building information and education became more accessible. Bridge Inspections are irregular and not standardized Ability to repair and replace trails to meet sustainable standards in a timely manner may not be possible with current staffing patterns. Many of our trails untilize old road beds due to ease of construction, which is important with our limited staffing. However, these are often maintenance nightmares. Big Cypress Tree State Park, 2016 Introduction There is a science to trail building, just as there is to any other structure that is built for human use.
