  • 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.

  • Fossil Fuels and Water Quality 75
    Chapter 4 Lucy Allen, Michael J. Cohen, David Abelson, and Bart Miller Fossil fuels are essential to the global economy—for electricity production, transporta- tion, plastics and chemicals manufacturing, heating, and many other purposes. How- ever,Fossil the extraction Fuels and processing and of fossil Water fuels, in addition Quality to their use, have profound impacts on the environment and natural resources, including water. Large oil spills— such as the recent Deepwater Horizon drilling rig spill, which leaked over 4.9 million barrels (780,000 cubic meters) of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico—have focused atten- tion on the potential for disasters associated with oil drilling to cause contamination of the natural environment (Lubchenco et al. 2010). The growing recognition of the seri- ous risks to surface-water and groundwater quality from natural gas fracking operations also raises new questions. And even normal fossil-fuel extraction and refining processes pollute the environment. The connections between water and energy have been studied in recent years, with growing recognition of how closely the two are linked. Water is used, in varying quanti- ties and ways, in every step of fossil-fuel extraction and processing (Ptacek et al. 2004). For example, the amount of coal produced worldwide in 2009 required an estimated 1.3 to 4.5 billion cubic meters (m3) of water for extraction and processing.1 Oil refining requires approximately 4 to 8 million m3 of water daily in the United States alone (the amount of water that two to three million U.S. households use daily) (US DOE 2006).

A wild river and its tributaries flowing through a rugged landscape of spectacular gorges? The thrill of a demanding whitewater boating experience? A family-friendly place to explore the magnificent scenery of the Cumberland Plateau? A place that compels us to learn about the abundant diversity of a fragile ecosystem or to better understand the history of those who thrived on this land before us? The Obed Wild and Scenic River is all of this, and much more. To help us protect this river system for the benefit and enjoyment of future generations, we have contemplated this very question to determine what makes it truly outstandingly remarkable. Based on the hard work of my staff and others within the National Park Service, I am pleased to present to you the outstandingly remarkable values of the Obed Wild and Scenic River. The statements that follow have been developed to provide a strong foundation for the future management and protection of this nationally significant river system—to help us focus our daily attention on the river’s most important aspects. I urge you to read these statements and to share your thoughts with us about what makes the Obed so outstandingly remarkable to you.

    Clinch River Nuclear Site Early Site Permit Application Part 3, Environmental Report This Subsection contains information withheld under 10 CFR 2.390(a)(3) 2.5.3 Historic Properties This section of the Environmental Report (ER) focuses on a description of the existing archaeological resources and historic properties on and immediately adjacent to the Clinch River Property (Figure 2.5.3-1) and the Melton Hill Dam as well as the historic properties within a 10-mile (mi) radius of the center of the Clinch River Nuclear (CRN) Site (Figure 2.5.3-2). The 10-mi radius includes portions of Anderson, Knox, Loudon, Roane, and Morgan Counties as shown on Figure 2.5.3-2. As defined by Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations (36 CFR) 800.16 (I)(1), historic properties are those properties deemed eligible for listing or that are already listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). As a federal project requesting a permit from a federal agency, the Clinch River (CR) Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Project is subject to review and consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S. Code [USC] § 470 et seq.) and its implementing regulations 36 CFR Part 800. Additionally the CR SMR Project is subject to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (25 USC 3001 et seq.), the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (16 USC 470aa-mm), the American Indian Religious Freedom Act (42 USC 1996), and the Archaeological and Historic Preservation Act (16 USC 469). A total of 59 recorded archaeological sites, four isolated finds (IF-1 [2015], IF-1 [2011], IF-2, IF-3), one non-site locality (NS-1), and one cemetery have been identified within or immediately adjacent to the approximately 1305-acre (ac) CR SMR Project archaeological Area of Potential Effect (CR SMR Project archaeological APE).
