Clinch River Valley Initiative: Using Community Based Collaboration to Build Local Economies and Create Change in Appalachian Virginia 31 Clinch River Valley Initiative: Using Community Based Collaboration to Build Local Economies And Create Change in Appalachian Virginia Christine Gyovai, Dr. Frank Dukes, Abigail Ness, Lucas Lyons, Allison Spain The Clinch River Valley Initiative (CRVI) is a consensus-based, grassroots effort that unites a broad group of stakeholders to establish Southwest Virginia’s Clinch River Valley as a global destination based on its unique biodiversity, natural beauty, cultural attractions and outdoor opportunities. By working at a watershed level with multiple partners, this grassroots effort has developed significant ownership and momentum that may serve as a model for other communities in Appalachia and beyond. In this paper, we discuss the structure and function of CRVI in comparison with other consensus-based efforts that utilize community-based collaboration. We identify challenges that CRVI faced, detail its successes to date, and analyze how well the initiative is meeting its goals.

  • Recreational Advisory for Watts Bar Reservoir
    Recreational Advisory for Watts Bar Reservoir The Environmental Protection Agency, the Tennessee Department of Health, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and Tennessee Valley Authority are issuing an advisory regarding boating, swimming and fishing on Watts Bar Reservoir. Emory River Section The public is cautioned to avoid recreational use of the lower Emory River in the vicinity of the ash release down to the confluence of the Emory and Clinch Rivers, which includes adjacent coves, inlets, islands, and sand bars. Small vessel traffic is currently channeled through a well-marked navigational lane, but swimming, jet skiing; water skiing and tubing are not advised at this time in these areas. In addition to construction related risks, contact with submerged or floating ash should be avoided, and if ash is contacted it should be washed off with soap and water. Chronic exposure by incidental ingestion and inhalation should also be avoided. Clinch River and Tennessee River Sections Water- based recreation on the Clinch and Tennessee Rivers should not be impacted this season and can continue. It is safe to swim, boat and eat most kinds of fish. See TDEC's Web site for more information about already existing fish consumption advisories. EPA’s advisory map can be found at www.epakingstontva.com. If you require further information or instructions regarding recreational use of Watts Bar Reservoir, please contact EPA Community Involvement Coordinator, Stephanie Y. Brown at 1-800-564- 7577 or 678-575-8505. An additional point of contact is the Roane County Health Department who can be reached at 865-354-1220.

In preparation for the audit, the NRC staff reviewed the data and information within Section 2.5 of the Site Safety Analysis Report (SSAR), as supplemented, and identified information needs that the staff requires to complete its review. In conjunction with the information audit, which will take place at the TVA Knoxville Office, most members of the NRC staff will visit the CRN site and surrounding area in an effort to become familiar with the site layout, the surrounding geologic and tectonic features, and the site physiography. At the CRN Site, NRC staff will also have the opportunity to examine geologic core samples collected during site investigations. Both venues will provide the staff an opportunity to discuss the information needs identified during the staff’s initial review of the application and associated SSAR sections with TVA’s subject matter experts (SMEs), staff and contractors.
