Literature Cited…………………………………………………………………. 15 2 LITTLE SEQUATCHIE COVE The Sequatchie River watershed covers an area of approximately 601 square miles and, as part of the Tennessee River drainage basin, it has approximately 909.3 stream miles (Tennessee, Ch. 1). Technically this watershed begins with a massive spring flowing from Devilstep Hollow Cave—a large limestone cavern. However, due to the karst nature of the watershed, there are hundreds of feeding streams that come from smaller caves. In particular, the section of watershed concerning this plan is the Little Sequatchie River. The Little Sequatchie is characterized as 19.6 miles of plateau escarpment by the state of Tennessee (Tennessee, Ch. 2). Due to the higher velocity and rockiness of a plateau stream, there is less fishing and recreation value in the Little Sequatchie watershed than in the larger Sequatchie watershed. However, it has a higher scenic ranking.

Plans published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) are sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and other affected and interested parties. Plans are reviewed by the public and submitted for additional peer review before they are adopted by the Service. The objectives of the plan will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not obligate other parties to undertake specific tasks and may not necessarily represent the views nor the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the Service. Recovery plans represent the official position of the Service only after they have been signed by the Regional Director as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks. By approving this recovery plan, the Regional Director certifies that the information used in its development represents the best scientific and commercial data available at the time it was written.
