  • Erosion in Several Large Gullies, Core Arboretum West Virginia University
    Erosion in Several Large Gullies, Core Arboretum West Virginia University Jessica Gormont Submission for an Option II-Professional Studies Project in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Geology Department of Geology and Geography Morgantown, WV 2007 Committee Members: Steven Kite (Chair) Robert Behling Jonathan Weems Introduction The position and dimensions of natural gullies are created by the concentration of overland flow into topologic low spots (Zucca, 2006). When areas above a hillside are developed, it can decrease the ability of water to seep into the ground due to the addition of impervious materials such as pavement. These conditions are ideal for Horton overland flow (Luce, 2002). The impervious material can also cause a rerouting of the overland flow sending far more water over the surface of the hillside and into gullies than is natural (Nyssen, 2002). This is doubly true when culverts are added to the heads of the gullies, diverting the overland flow directly into the gullies. Utilization of natural gullies to remove unwanted water during the urbanization process may seem like effective planning. However, an increase in water volume in gullies can increase tractive force within the channel (Saldi-Caromile, 2004), which in turn causes rates of erosion to increase. Possible consequences of this erosional increase could include deepening of gullies and instability of adjacent hillsides, which could trigger landslides. This study examined four gullies within the Core Arboretum of West Virginia University (WVU) (fig. 1). In order from north to south, the gullies that were studied were Tennis Gully, located just beneath the middle section of the WVU tennis courts; Roof Gully, which diverts water from the roof of the Coliseum; Bathtub Gully, named for the size and shape of the gully beneath the Strausbaugh Trail bridge in the 1970s and 1980s (Weems, pers.

  • Falling Run Greenspace, Morgantown, West Virginia
    Ǥ͹ BUILDING A NEW CENTRAL PARK THROUGH CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND SERVICE LEARNING: FALLING RUN GREENSPACE, MORGANTOWN, WEST VIRGINIA Haas, Vaike West Virginia University, [email protected] 1 ABSTRACT Service learning, university-community partnerships and volunteers’ civic engagement activities created a new urban forest park, Falling Run Greenspace, from sixty acres of steeply forested university property in downtown Morgantown, West Virginia. Developing the master plan involved a complex process of administrative approvals and committees for engagement of a diverse group of stakeholders. The project catalyzed greenspace partnerships between the University and the community, and promoted civic engagement among students. This paper reports on the collaborative process through which this new park was created.Landscape architecture majors at West Virginia University participated in site analysis and master planning through service learning in class assignments typically over two semesters; community members and students, staff and faculty volunteered to construct trails. The University provided a construction budget for bridges and a universally accessible trail. In 2016, Falling Run was the first Welcome Week trail-building project and attracted 495 incoming freshmen who volunteered to clear brush and build trails. Falling Run’s volunteer structure hinged on a handful of experienced trail crew leaders providing training sessions, and a dedicated volunteer coordinator. Within eighteen months, volunteers built 2.4 miles of trail, utilizing

  • Environmental Questionnaire
    NETL F 451.1-1/3 Revised: 11/7/2011 Reviewed: 11/7/2011 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY (Previous Editions Obsolete) ENVIRONMENTAL QUESTIONNAIRE I. BACKGROUND The Department of Energy (DOE) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Implementing Procedures (10 CFR 1021) require careful consideration of the potential environmental consequences of all proposed actions during the early planning stages of a project or activity. DOE policy directs at the earliest possible stage in a project whether such actions will require preparation of an Environmental Assessment, an Environmental Impact Statement, or a Categorical Exclusion. To comply with these requirements, an Environmental Questionnaire (NETL Form 451.1-1/3) must be completed for each proposed action to provide DOE with the information necessary to determine the appropriate level of NEPA review and documentation. If the proposed project qualifies for Categorical Exclusion designation, a Categorical Exclusion Designation Form (NETL Form 451.1-1/1) will also be completed in addition to the Environmental Questionnaire. II. INSTRUCTIONS Separate copies of the Environmental Questionnaire and Categorical Exclusion Designation Form (if required) should be completed by the principal proposer and principal subcontractor(s). In addition, if the proposed project includes activities at different locations, an independent questionnaire should be prepared for each location. Supporting information can be provided as attachments. In completing this Questionnaire, the proposer is requested to provide specific information and quantities, when applicable, regarding air emissions, wastewater discharges, solid wastes, etc., to facilitate the necessary review. The proposer should identify the location of the project and specifically describe the activities that would occur at that location.
