Blanton .)onald W. Linebaugh Authors Dennis B. Blanton William Childress Jonathan Danz Leslie Mitchell Joseph Schuldenrein Jesse Zinn December 16, 1994 ABSTRACT Sites 44PY7, 44PY43, and 44PY152 on the southern shore of Leesville Lake in Pittsylvania County were subjected to archaeological evaluation. Sites 44PY7 and 44PY152 were confirmed to contain Early ArchaicIPaleoindian horizons buried beneath 1.5 to 1.8 m of alluvium. Geoarchaeological analyses and a series of radiocarbon dates make the 44PY152 deposits among the best-documented early Holocene contexts in the region. Portions of these components have been lost to erosion, but each retains significant research potential. Site 44PY43 is a remnant of a Late Woodland village. Trenching failed to locate a palisade line, but numerous post features and possible pits were identified. This site also retains potential for recovering significant information on Late Woodland settlement in this section of the Roanoke River valley. Project results are discussed in the context of prevailing settlementlsubsistencemodels fbr the region. REPORT CONTRIBUTORS Authors: Dennis B.

  • A Comparison of the Environmental Effects of Open-Loop and Closed-Loop Pumped Storage Hydropower April 2020
    A Comparison of the Environmental Effects of Open-Loop and Closed-Loop Pumped Storage Hydropower April 2020 PNNL-29157 Acknowledgments This work was authored by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), operated by Battelle and supported by the HydroWIRES Initiative of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO), under award or contract number DE-AC05-76RL01830. HydroWIRES Initiative The electricity system in the United States is changing rapidly with the large-scale addition of variable renewables. The flexible capabilities of hydropower, including pumped storage hydropower (PSH), make it well-positioned to aid in integrating these variable resources while supporting grid reliability and resilience. Recognizing these challenges and opportunities, WPTO has launched a new initiative known as HydroWIRES: Water Innovation for a Resilient Electricity System.1 HydroWIRES is focused on understanding and supporting the changing role of hydropower in the evolving electricity system in the United States. Through the HydroWIRES initiative, WPTO seeks to understand and drive utilization of the full potential of hydropower resources to help reduce system-wide costs and contribute to electricity system reliability and resilience, now and into the future. HydroWIRES is distinguished in its close engagement with the DOE National Laboratories. Five National Laboratories—Argonne National Laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and PNNL—work as a team to provide strategic insight and develop connections across the DOE portfolio that add significant value to the HydroWIRES initiative. HydroWIRES operates in conjunction with the DOE Grid Modernization Initiative,2 which focuses on the development of new architectural concepts, tools, and technologies that measure, analyze, predict, protect, and control the grid of the future, and on enabling the institutional conditions that allow for quicker development and widespread adoption of these tools and technologies.

At the workshop, forecasts were presented concerning the future of zebra mussels, Dreissena polymorpha, in the mid-Atlantic states. This publication is devoted to predictions of the probability of invasion by the zebra mussel, Dreissena A zebra mussel is a small, striped mollusk capable of polymorpha (and the quagga mussel, Dreissena sp.) to raising havoc. (Although-the mollusk can grow up to two specific bodies of water in Virginia. Probability of riches, it is usually much smaller — fingernail size.) invasion is divided into risk and susceptibility. Risk refers zebra mussels have cost millions of dollars in the Great to the chance, relative to other sites, that a body of Lakes region where they rapidly colonized water-intake water will be inoculated with Dreissena, in sufficient pipes, boats, docks, piers, and other structures.

  • Smith Mountain Pumped Storage Project What Is the Smith Mountain Project?
    Smith Mountain Pumped Storage Project What is the Smith Mountain Project? The Smith Mountain Project is a federally- licensed hydroelectric facility consisting of Smith Mountain Dam two (2) dams and two (2) lakes. Leesville Dam What is the Smith Mountain Project? The Project is unique in that it recycles water between the two lakes in a process Smith Mountain Dam known as “pumped storage.” Leesville Dam What is the Smith Mountain Project? Water from the upper reservoir (Smith Mountain Lake) passes through turbines at Smith Mountain Dam to generate electricity, then is released into the lower reservoir (Leesville Lake). Water can be pumped back into Smith Mountain Lake for re-use, or passed through turbines at Leesville Dam to generate more electricity before being released downstream. What is the Smith Mountain Project? Pumped-storage allows the Smith Mountain Project to generate 636 megawatts of electricity – approximately 10-times more energy than a conventional run-of-the-river hydro facility. The primary purpose of the Project is to generate electricity. This is known as the “Project Use.” The Project also benefits the local community by providing opportunities for: • public recreation • scenic enjoyment • fish & wildlife habitat • economic development What is the Smith Mountain Project? The Smith Mountain Project includes • more than 25,000 acres of water • more than 600 miles of shoreline • more than 13,000 individual parcels of land adjacent to the Project boundary Appalachian Power is responsible for managing various operational

    “I have to say I was a bit skeptical that it would just be a marketing pitch, but have been very pleasantly surprised to find a great deal of valuable information.” Brian Bissell “I would highly recommend Paul’s book…to anyone who is considering purchasing property on the lake. It answers not only the obvious questions but also details many items (like dock permits) that a novice lake buyer would not think to ask.” Suzy & Dave Barta “Paul Moore’s book on buying property on SML is a must read.” Linda & Judd Riedinger “I just wish we had been exposed to this kind of education about SML before we made our purchase!” Robert Harbert “We have never seen a real estate agent that supplied so much information… It is all so informative and helpful in our hunt for a home at SML.” Charles & Gladys Impink “Thank you for this information, this is a great book that you have assembled!!! I have never seen such effort from a real estate agent.” Will Rogers, Jr. “Your book is extremely helpful to both buyers and your realty staff.” Scott from NJ “We will be happy to pass your name along as a referral to anyone interested in moving to the lake. Your book tells volumes about your knowledge and my husband and I would not hesitate to recommend you so that anyone interested in coming into the area may avoid some of the issues we ran into, some of which were costly and time consuming. Most of the issues would have been avoided had we read your book first.” Carol Ridgely “Paul’s book is a must read for anyone considering relocating to or purchasing a vacation home or investment property at SML.
