  • Section 4.2.2.2
    4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS 4.1 GEOLOGY 4.1.1 Existing Resources 4.1.1.1 Geologic Setting The proposed LX Project is located entirely in the Kanawha Section of the Appalachian Plateaus physiographic province. The Appalachian Plateaus consist primarily of Pennsylvanian and Permian layered deposits, with Quaternary Alluvium overlying most geologic formations (USGS, 2015a). Elevations along the project range from 455 feet to 1,500 feet above mean sea level (USGS, 2015b). Topography in the project area ranges from relatively flat-lying rocks and rolling hills to steep slopes, with a local relief of up to several hundred feet (West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey [WVGES], 2004a; Greene County Government, 2013; ODNR, 2014a). The proposed RXE Project Grayson CS is located in the region known as the Eastern Kentucky Coal Field (Kentucky Geological Survey [KGS], 2012a), in an area of Quaternary alluvium composed of sand, silt, clay, and gravel created by floodplain deposits of present day streams. The thickness of the alluvium ranges from 0 to 60 feet (Whittington and Ferm, 1967). The proposed RXE Project Means CS is located within the Lexington Plains Section of the Interior Low Plateaus physiographic province (USGS, 2015a), in a region known as The Knobs, that consists of hundreds of isolated, steep-sloping, cone-shaped hills (KGS, 2012b). The nearest knob, Kashs Knob, is approximately one-quarter mile north of the proposed compressor station site (USGS, 1975). The USDA Soil Conservation Survey (SCS) County soil survey information indicates there are restrictive layers (potentially shallow bedrock) within the upper five feet of the ground surface at both CS locations (USDA SCS, 1974 and 1983).

  • 1 Quantifying Avian and Forest Communities to Understand
    Quantifying avian and forest communities to understand interdependencies of ecological systems and inform forest bird conservation Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bryce Timothy Adams Graduate Program in Environment and Natural Resources The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee Stephen N. Matthews, Advisor Robert J. Gates Chris M. Tonra Laura J. Kearns Louis R. Iverson 1 Copyrighted by Bryce Timothy Adams 2018 2 Abstract Forests represent the largest terrestrial biome on Earth, providing a wealth of ecological and social services. Their effective conservation and management under intensifying anthropogenic threats, climate change, and shifting disturbance regimes hinges on an accurate knowledge of ecological process and spatial pattern to address questions related to their dynamics, how they are changing, and what resources they provide to wildlife. Predictive models are currently the main tools used to quantify landscape-level forest parameters and resource use of wildlife communities. Advances in remote sensing technologies and new, innovative ways to characterize these data offer great potential for improved quantification and monitoring of ecological systems. My overall research seeks to integrate new methodologies for landscape-level quantification of avian and forest communities and to investigate interrelationships that inform forest bird conservation in southeastern Ohio. The study area, positioned within the Central Hardwoods Region, displays a pronounced floristic gradient, recognized as one of the most speciose forested regions in the eastern US. I sampled avian and woody plant assemblages across a spectrum of forest stands with different vegetation composition and structure within six study sites during 2015 and 2016.

Each of them has been a constant source of support. Finishing my undergraduate studies and writing this thesis during the COVID-19 pandemic has been difficult, and I am certain I am not alone in this sentiment, but their emotional support has definitely made this process easier. Additionally, thank you to Scott Smith, captain of the “S.S. Airbag,” the boat without which I could not have reached some of my study plots. I would also like to express my thanks to my thesis advisor, Dr. James Dyer. Without his assistance throughout this process, from field work to editing, this thesis would not have been possible. Finally, I would like to thank my Director or Studies, Dr. Stephen Scanlan, for his guidance, and the Honors Tutorial College in general for the opportunities that they have given me.

  • Hocking Hills Waterfall and Wildflower Driving Tour
    Hocking Hills Waterfall and Wildflower Driving Tour: The Hocking Hills, Ohio Waterfalls & Wildflower driving tour was designed to let visitors travel the back roads and see the wonders of the Hocking Hills from their car. Most of the Hocking Hills, Ohio waterfalls can be seen without getting out or, at most, walking a few feet. However, the route includes the state park system, which does require some hiking. You may choose to bypass these if they have been visited in the past or save them for another trip. It is our hope that you will save the map and revisit from time to time. The waterfalls are beautiful any season of the year, but are most apt to be flowing in the spring. In the winter, Hocking Hills, Ohio waterfalls are usually frozen into magnificent ice formations that defy description. Because of the steepness of the hills in this area, the water runs off quickly after a rain and might soon quit flowing. In late summer there might not be any water flowing over the falls. They are still quite beautiful, however, and we hope that you will enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the deep gorges and rock formations. Because of the intense shade in the gorges there are only a few wildflowers near the waterfalls, but the roadsides are carpeted with beautiful Ohio wildflowers from early April through October. You may begin and end your waterfalls & wildflowers driving tour at any point, but since this writer lives near Cedar Falls the numbers start there: Cedar Falls This deep gorge is shady and cool.
