Section 305(b) of the federal Clean Water Act requires a biennial analysis of water quality in the state. The Tennessee Water Quality Control Act also requires that the division produce a report on the status of water quality. TDEC’s goals for the 305(b) Report are: ● Describe the water quality assessment process (Chapter 1). ● Categorize waters in the State by placing them in the assessment categories suggested by federal guidance (Chapter 2). ● Identify waterbodies that pose eminent human-health risks due to elevated bacteria levels or contamination of fish (Chapter 5). ● Provide detailed information on each watershed (Section II). Acknowledgements The Director of the Division of Water Pollution Control (WPC) is Paul E. Davis and the Deputy Director is Garland P. Wiggins. The Planning and Standards Section of WPC produced this report in cooperation with regional field office staff. The authors would like to express appreciation to the Water Pollution Control staff of TDEC’s regional Environmental Field Offices (EFOs) and the Aquatic Biology staff of the Tennessee Department of Health who collected the stream, river, and reservoir data documented in this report. The managers of the staff in these offices are: Terry Templeton Memphis EFO Pat Patrick Jackson EFO Joe Holland Nashville EFO Dick Urban Chattanooga EFO Paul Schmierbach Knoxville EFO Andrew Tolley Johnson City EFO Tim Wilder

    Distribution and Relative Abundance of Tennessee Cave Salamanders (Gyrinophilus Palleucus and Gyrinophilus Gulolineatus) with an Emphasis on Tennessee Populations

    Herpetological Conservation and Biology 3(1):1-20. Submitted: 18 September 2007; Accepted: 28 December 2007 DISTRIBUTION AND RELATIVE ABUNDANCE OF TENNESSEE CAVE SALAMANDERS (GYRINOPHILUS PALLEUCUS AND GYRINOPHILUS GULOLINEATUS) WITH AN EMPHASIS ON TENNESSEE POPULATIONS 1,2 1,3 BRIAN T. MILLER AND MATTHEW L. NIEMILLER 1 Department of Biology, Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, Tennessee 37132, USA 2 Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] 3 Present Address: Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee 37996, USA, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract.—The Tennessee Cave Salamander complex (Gyrinophilus palleucus and G. gulolineatus) consists of three obligate cave-dwelling taxa inhabiting subterranean waters of east and central Tennessee, north Alabama, and northwest Georgia. Although ranges of these taxa are poorly understood, their populations are reportedly small and declining. The IUCN lists G. gulolineatus as "Endangered" and G. p. necturoides as "Vulnerable"; whereas, NatureServe lists G. gulolineatus (G1) and G. p. necturoides (G2G3T1) as Critically Imperiled. To better determine the distribution and relative abundance of extant populations, we searched 113 cave streams in middle and east Tennessee, seven in northwest Georgia, 13 in north Alabama and two in southern Kentucky. We found 1183 salamanders, including 63 G. gulolineatus, 681 G. palleucus, and 439 G. porphyriticus (Spring Salamanders), during 229 surveys of 135 caves. Gyrinophilus palleucus and G. gulolineatus were observed in more caves (30) than G. porphyriticus (17 caves). Members of the complex were found at 52% (12 of 23) of historic caves and at 16% (18 of 110) of non-historic caves. We extended the known distribution of G.
