These assets make up 25 percent of the NPS facility portfolio. The MAT will perform the following types of projects: preservation and stabilization of fortification masonry scarp walls; rehabilitation of masonry comfort station exteriors; battlefield monument care and maintenance; specialized repair and painting of windows in several structures at various parks; replacing roofs in-kind (ranging from wood shingle to slate); and rehabilitating culverts, trails and trail bridges, cultural landscapes and their historic features. The maintenance work will improve the condition of the asset by extending the life of the critical systems which may include components of the exterior envelope, superstructure, or interior features— ultimately preserving the cultural resource and its contents. Staff training and hands-on education will provide NPS personnel with skillsets that will last decades. Training and capacity in the traditional trades, appropriate materials selection, and treatment approaches will help parks reduce life cycle costs—especially since many assets with deteriorated conditions are the result of prior use of incompatible materials, lack of trained staff, attrition of skilled craftspeople, budget shortfalls, or a failure to prioritize preservation of the resource.

  • Tennessee Reference Stream Morphology and Large Woody Debris Assessment
    Tennessee Reference Stream Morphology and Large Woody Debris Assessment Report and Guidebook Prepared for: Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation Prepared by: Jennings Environmental, LLC December 2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report includes reference stream morphology and large woody debris data collected throughout Tennessee in 2015-2017. Hydraulic geometry data are presented as regional curves for Ecoregions 66, 67, 68/69, 71, and 65/74 to support stream assessment and restoration planning. Morphology relationships describe bankfull channel dimensions, pattern, and profile measurements in relation to channel-forming discharge and watershed drainage area. Large woody debris (LWD) data collected at reference streams serve as an indicator of natural stream conditions in forested floodplains. These databases and relationships are valuable for assessing disturbed streams to evaluate degree of departure from equilibrium, selecting and planning restoration projects to improve natural stream functions, and monitoring changes in stream conditions in undisturbed and restored stream systems. These databases should be supplemented with additional information collected during site assessment and restoration planning to improve understanding of local stream conditions throughout Tennessee. The morphology data collection included 114 undisturbed streams ranging in width from 3 to 132 feet with watershed drainage areas ranging from 0.02 to 117 square miles. Wherever available, United States Geological Survey (USGS) gage station sites were surveyed to provide long-term hydrologic information close to the reference stream. Bankfull stage indicators at a USGS gage provided the opportunity to quantify the channel-forming discharge and exceedance probability of this flow event. For reference streams with no gages, natural equilibrium stream segments with clearly identifiable incipient-floodplain bankfull stage indicators were surveyed to determine morphology parameters.
