  • Benthic TMDL Development for the Roanoke River, Virginia
    Benthic TMDL Development for the Roanoke River, Virginia Submitted to Virginia Department of Environmental Quality Prepared by 2300 N Street, NW Washington, DC 20037 March 2006 Benthic TMDL Development for Roanoke River Executive Summary Introduction As required by Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and current EPA regulations, states are required to develop Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for waterbodies that exceed water quality standards. The Roanoke River was included on Virginia’s 1996 Section 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report (DEQ, 1996) because of violations of the General Standard (benthic impairment). The headwaters of the Roanoke River originate in southwest Virginia. The Roanoke River flows through southcentral Virginia before crossing the North Carolina state line and discharging into the Albemarle Sound in North Carolina. Impairment Listing The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) uses biological monitoring of benthic macroinvertebrates as one method to assess support of the aquatic life use for a waterbody. Bioassessments of the benthic macroinvertebrate community of the Roanoke River were performed by DEQ using modified Rapid Bioassessment Protocols (EPA, 1999). Results of bioassessments indicated a moderately impaired benthic community at three monitoring stations on the river (4AROA202.20, 4AROA206.03, and 4AROA206.95). Therefore, since the river only partially supports the designated aquatic life use, the General Standard is being violated. As a result, the Roanoke River was included on the Section 303(d) list. Although biological assessments indicated the creek is impaired, additional analyses described in this report were required to identify the causal pollutant (stressor) and sources within the watershed.

  • Bacteria Tmdls for Wilson Creek, Ore Branch and Roanoke River Watersheds, Virginia
    Bacteria TMDLs for Wilson Creek, Ore Branch and Roanoke River Watersheds, Virginia Submitted by Virginia Department of Environmental Quality Prepared by and 2300 N Street, NW Washington, DC 20037 February 2006 Bacteria TMDLs for Wilson Creek, Ore Branch and Roanoke River Watersheds Executive Summary This report presents the development of Bacteria TMDLs for the Wilson Creek, Ore Branch and Roanoke River watersheds, located in the Upper Roanoke River Basin. Segments of Wilson Creek, Ore Branch and the Roanoke River were listed as impaired on Virginia’s 1998 303(d) Total Maximum Daily Load Priority List and Report (DEQ, 1998) because of violations of the state’s water quality standard for fecal coliform bacteria. These segments were also included on Virginia’s 2002 303(d) Report on Impaired Waters and 2004 305(b)/303(d) Water Quality Assessment Integrated Report. The impaired segments are located in the Upper Roanoke River Basin in southwestern Virginia. Description of the Study Area Wilson Creek is a tributary to the North Fork Roanoke River and is located in Montgomery County, while Ore Branch is a tributary to the Roanoke River and flows from Roanoke County into Roanoke City. The impaired segment of the Roanoke River begins in Salem City and flows through Roanoke City into Roanoke County. All three streams are located in the Upper Roanoke River Basin (USGS Cataloging Unit 03010101). The watershed is approximately 371,658 acres (580 square miles) and drains portions of Floyd, Montgomery, Roanoke, Botetourt, Bedford and Franklin Counties and all of Salem and Roanoke Cities. Bacteria TMDLs have already been approved for five impaired streams in the watershed: Carvin Creek, Glade Creek, Laymantown Creek, Lick Run and Tinker Creek.

  • A Herpetological Survey of Dixie Caverns and Explore Park in Roanoke, Virginia and the Wehrle’S Salamander
    A Herpetological Survey of Dixie Caverns and Explore Park in Roanoke, Virginia and the Wehrle’s Salamander Matthew Neff Department of Herpetology National Zoological Park Smithsonian Institution MRC 5507, Washington, DC 20013 Introduction The Virginia Herpetological Society (VHS) Dixie Caverns Survey was held at Dixie Caverns and Explore Park in Roanoke County, Virginia on 24 September 2016. According to legend, Dixie Caverns was discovered in 1920 by two young men after their dog Dixie fell through a hole that led to the caves. In honor of their dog’s discovery, they decided to name the caverns Dixie. One of those boys was Bill “Shorty” McDaniel who would later go on to work at the caverns for more than 50 years and was known fondly for his sometimes embellished stories (Berrier, 2014). In actuality, the presence of Dixie Caverns, according to The Roanoke Times, was known as early as 1860 and had been mapped in the early 1900’s (Berrier, 2014). Guided tours of the caverns began in 1923 and still occur today with about 30,000 people visiting annually (Berrier, 2014). Dixie Caverns is located in Roanoke County which is in the Valley and Ridge and Blue Ridge provinces (Mitchell, 1999). A key feature of the Valley and Ridge is karst topography with soluble rocks such as limestone which create caves and caverns when weathered (Tobey, 1985). Over millions of years the caverns were formed as water dissolved the limestone that created Catesbeiana 38(1):20-36 20 Dixie Caverns and Explore Park Survey holes and even larger passageways. Many of the rock formations in Dixie Caverns are made of calcite which was formed by dripping water that evaporated leaving behind tiny particles which eventually created stalactites (Berrier, 2014).

  • Vision 2040: Amendments and Administrative Modifications
    Vision 2040: Amendments and Administrative Modifications The Constrained Long-Range Multimodal Transportation Plan, Vision 2040: Roanoke Valley Transportation, was approved by the Roanoke Valley Transportation Planning Organization Policy Board on September 27, 2017. As such, from time to time, amendments and administrative modifications are necessary in order to reflect changes in projects, funding, or programs. For purposes of this section, and as defined in 23 Code of Federal Regulations §450.104, amendments and administrative modifications are to mean the following: Administrative modification means a minor revision to a long-range statewide or metropolitan transportation plan, Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), or Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) that includes minor changes to project/project phase costs, minor changes to funding sources of previously included projects, and minor changes to project/project phase initiation dates. An administrative modification is a revision that does not require public review and comment, a re-demonstration of fiscal constraint, or a conformity determination (in nonattainment and maintenance areas). Amendment means a revision to a long-range statewide or metropolitan transportation plan, TIP, or STIP that involves a major change to a project included in a metropolitan transportation plan, TIP, or STIP, including the addition or deletion of a project or a major change in project cost, project/project phase initiation dates, or a major change in design concept or design scope (e.g., changing project termini or the number of through traffic lanes or changing the number of stations in the case of fixed guideway transit projects). Changes to projects that are included only for illustrative purposes do not require an amendment.

  • Conserving the Roanoke River
    Conserving the Roanoke River Conservation Action Plan November 2005 Preface The Lower Roanoke River Project (LRRP) Conservation Plan consists of five elelments. The first of these elements is this summary report containing the key components of a written conservation action plan. The second is a Conservation Action Planning Workbook (developed by TNC using a Microsoft Excel platform) in which information about stresses, threats, strategies, and strategic success is routinely updated with conservation partners. The third is a GIS-based database including land-ownership maps and many kinds of spatial data for illustrating and evaluating various conservation scenarios. The fourth is a set of models (public policy, flow, flood, and ecological response) that allow us to evaluate the way different strategies for management of the system’s hydrology produce ecological effects. The fifth is a site protection plan consisting of priority tract maps and a spreadsheet for tracking conservation progress on each of them, as well as all of them cumulatively. In developing and revising the Conservation Plan for the Lower Roanoke over the past several years, The Nature Conservancy has utilized a series of workshops to address conservation strategies at the site scale. The goal of these workshops was to apply The Nature Conservancy’s site conservation “5-S Framework” to the Roanoke River project area, thereby developing a conservation blueprint for action and a baseline from which to measure its success over time. Primary partners in the planning process have included the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the NC Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC), among others. During calendar year 2005, the TNC-NC Conservation staff revised the Roanoke plan through another series of workshops in collaboration with the Southeast Aquatic Resource Partnership (SARP).
