By November, you’ll have some freezing temperatures at night. A dusting of snow is possible during these colder months, and the mountaintops are frequently capped with snow or rime frost. Spring, especially the period from mid March to early May, is when the moun- tains come back to life and the wildflowers bloom. The weather is mild and the humidity low. It’s the perfect time to open the windows wide and enjoy the crisp mountain air. Thanks to our inland location, we're protected from hurricanes and tornadoes.

  • TMDL Implementation Plans for Goat Rock Lake
    TMDL Implementation Plan for Nottely River, Downstream of Lake Nottely -- Dissolved Oxygen Introduction The portion of the Nottely River downstream of the dam for Nottely Lake, is located near Ivy Log in Union County, a few miles northwest of Blairsville, Georgia. The Nottely Lake dam is operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Reservoir water flows through the turbine generators in the dam to produce hydroelectric power. The water that for such use is taken from the lower (hypolimnion) zone of the Reservoir where the water is naturally lower in dissolved oxygen (D.O.). Plan for Implementation of the TMDL The TMDL for this and seven other low D.O. river segments below dams, was finalized in November, 2000. The designated use for the Nottely River downstream of the dam is for recreation. The applicable water quality standards there for D.O. are a concentration of 5 milligrams per liter (mg/l) as a daily average and a concentration of 4 mg/l as a minimum value. Attainment and maintenance of these two D.O. water quality standards are the goals of this Implementation Plan. The TMDL recommends that the appropriate federal and state agencies work together in developing an implementation strategy to provide higher oxygenated water from these dam releases. The TMDL adds that these strategies may include oxygenation or aeration of the water, redesigned spillways, or other measures, and that ongoing water quality monitoring is needed to monitor progress. The TVA has added compressors and blowers to add air to the water going through the turbines, when D.O.

    WATERSHED ASSESSMENT NOTTELY LAKE WATERSHED Nottely Lake (HUC #060200020806) and Ivylog Creek Drainage (HUC # 060200020808) This watershed assessment is a Plan to Project analysis which means the process of applying the Forest Plan to a site specific project location. This assessment will become a key reference source for NEPA compliance in the future. This is not a decision document. No projects are decided within this document, only opportunities to bring specific locations into plan compliance. All will require site specific analysis and further on the ground inventories. EXISTING CONDITION Identification of 5th level Hydrologic Unit (HU) The two 6th-level HUCs evaluated in this assessment are part of the Nottely River/Nottely Lake 5th-level HUC (#0602000208). The Nottely River/Nottely Lake 5th-level HUC includes the lands from the Blue Ridge divide at Neels Gap to Hogpen Gap to Jacks Knob, north into North Carolina. The watershed is shared with the Nantahala NF in North Carolina and includes the headwaters of Nottely Lake reservoir (Tennessee Valley Authority). The watershed encompasses 137,125 acres, approximately 49,115 acres (36%) of which are National Forest lands. There are approximately 150 miles of perennial streams within the HU. There are eight 6th -level HUC’s within the Nottely River/Nottely Lake 5th-level HUC (Table 1). Table 1.
