NORRIS FREEWAY CORRIDOR MANAGEMENT PLAN Prepared by the City of Norris, Tennessee June 2020 SECTION 1: ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
NORRIS FREEWAY CORRIDOR MANAGEMENT PLAN Prepared by the City of Norris, Tennessee June 2020 SECTION 1: ESSENTIAL INFORMATION Location. Norris Freeway is located in the heart of the eastern portion of the Tennessee Valley. The Freeway passes over Norris Dam, whose location was selected to control the flooding caused by heavy rains in the Clinch and Powell River watershed. Beside flood control, there were a range of conditions that were to be addressed: the near absence of electrical service in rural areas, erosion and 1 landscape restoration, and a new modern road leading to Knoxville (as opposed to the dusty dirt and gravel roads that characterized this part of East Tennessee). The Freeway starts at US 25W in Rocky Top (once known as Coal Creek) and heads southeast to the unincorporated community of Halls. Along the way, it crosses Norris Dam, runs by several miles of Norris Dam State Park, skirts the City of Norris and that town’s watershed and greenbelt. Parts of Anderson County, Campbell County and Knox County are traversed along the route. Date of Local Designation In 1984, Norris Freeway was designated as a Tennessee Scenic Highway by the Tennessee Department of Transportation. Some folks just call such routes “Mockingbird Highways,” as the Tennessee State Bird is the image on the signs designating these Scenic Byways. Intrinsic Qualities Virtually all the intrinsic qualities come into play along Norris Freeway, particularly Historic and Recreational. In fact, those two characteristics are intertwined in this case. For instance, Norris Dam and the east side of Norris Dam State Park are on the National Register of Historic Places. -

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. -

The Father-Son Appalachian Trail Adventure
THE FATHER-SON APPALACHIAN TRAIL ADVENTURE ROAN HIGHLANDS June 24-27, 2021 CHEROKEE NATIONAL FOREST Appalachian Trail Adventure June 24-27, 2021 Dear Dad, The Father-Son Appalachian Trail Adventure is a 4-day backpacking trip across one of the most stunning sections of the Appalachian Trail. And, while we will be hiking during the hottest part of the summer, you can expect to experience cool temperatures on this mile-high ramble!

Plus you will have a special bonding experience with your son(s) that will last a life-time. Be prepared to be stretched in every way... but we'll have fun doing it! The basic itinerary is as follows... Thu, Jun 24 Drive to Carvers Gap and short hike to Roan High Knob Shelter Fri, Jun 25 Roan High Knob to Overmountain Shelter (7.1 miles) Sat, Jun 26 Overmountain Shelter to Doll Flats (6.2 miles) Sun, Jun 27 Doll Flats to Hwy 19E and drive home (3 miles) This information packet is designed to give you just enough information to help you prepare for the experience while intentionally not giving everything away!
