  • Analysis of the Trophic Support Capacity of Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia, for Piscivorous Fish
    ANALYSIS OF THE TROPHIC SUPPORT CAPACITY OF SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKE, VIRGINIA, FOR PISCIVOROUS FISH Michael J. Cyterski Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences John J. Ney, Chair Donald J. Orth Brian R. Murphy Clint W. Coakley James M. Berkson June, 1999 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Striped Bass, Clupeids, Production, Bioenergetics, Hydroacoustics Copyright 1999, Michael J. Cyterski ANALYSIS OF THE TROPHIC SUPPORT CAPACITY OF SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKE, VIRGINIA, FOR PISCIVOROUS FISH Michael J. Cyterski (ABSTRACT) This investigation examined the adequacy of the forage base to meet current demand of piscivores in Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia. Surplus production, or the maximum sustainable supply, of alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) and gizzard shad (Dorosoma cepedianum) were determined using data on the biomass, growth, and mortality of each species. Mean hydroacoustic alewife biomass from 1993-1998 was 37 kg/ha and mean gizzard shad cove rotenone biomass from 1990-1997 was 112 kg/ha. Mean annual alewife surplus production was determined to be 73 kg/ha and mean annual gizzard shad surplus production totaled 146 kg/ha. Bioenergetics modeling and population density estimates were utilized to derive the annual food consumption (realized demand) of the two most popular sport fish in the system, striped bass (Morone saxatilis) and largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). The striped bass population consumed 46 kg/ha of alewife and 27 kg/ha of gizzard shad annually. Largemouth bass ate 9 kg/ha of alewife and 15 kg/ha of gizzard shad annually.

  • Blackwater River Waterbodies Improved High Sediment Loadings Led to Violations of the General Standard for Aquatic Life Use in Virginia’S Blackwater River
    NONPOINT SOURCE SUCCESS STORY Agricultural Best Management PracticesVirginia Improve Aquatic Life in the Blackwater River Waterbodies Improved High sediment loadings led to violations of the general standard for aquatic life use in Virginia’s Blackwater River. As a result, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) added two segments of the Lower Blackwater River to the 2008 Clean Water Act (CWA) section 303(d) list of impaired waters. Landowners installed agricultural best management practices (BMPs); these decreased edge-of-field sediment loading and helped improve water quality. Because of this improvement, DEQ removed two segments of the Blackwater River from Virginia’s 2014 list of impaired waters for biological impairment. Problem The Blackwater River watershed is in Franklin County, Virginia, in the Roanoke River Basin (USGS Hydrologic Unit Code 03010101). The watershed lies north of Rocky Mount, Virginia, approximately 15 miles south of Roanoke, Virginia. The Blackwater River flows southeastward and empties into Smith Mountain Lake (Figure 1). The Upper Blackwater River watershed (70,303 acres) is 69% forest, 18% pasture and hay- land, 7% cropland and less than 1% urban. The Lower Blackwater River watershed (20,504 acres) is 58% forest, 33% agricultural, 8% urban and 2% water. Biological sampling conducted at monitoring sta- tion 4ABWR029.51 in 2004 showed Virginia Stream Condition Index (VSCI) scores of 60.7 in the spring and 50.1 in the fall. The VSCI score is a macroinver- Figure 1.

  • Natural Conditions
    NATURAL CONDITIONS This section of the Comprehensive Plan Update discusses the natural conditions and physical characteristics for the County. Air quality, climate, soils, slope or topography, water, floodplains, and geology are important factors in the physical development of a locality and can directly and indirectly affect economic growth and development. Land use, housing, and transportation planning are directly influenced by physical factors since, for example, intensive land use tends to proceed along patterns which first consume land which is the most problem free: smooth, low slope topography; good soil characteristics; away from floodplains; and good depth to bedrock. Franklin County, seventh in size among Virginia counties, is located in the south- central part of Virginia. The County is bounded on the north by Roanoke and Bedford Counties, on the east by Pittsylvania County, on the south by Henry and Patrick Counties, and on the west by Floyd County. The Blue Ridge Mountains border the County on the north and west, and the Roanoke River and Smith Mountain Lake bound the County in the northeast. In the southwest is Philpott Lake and in the southeast is Turkeycock Mountain/Wildlife Management Area. Geological Structure and Mineral Resources Franklin County is situated in two major physiographic provinces. Approximately two-thirds of the County is in the Piedmont Province, while the remaining land area, the County's western section, is in the Blue Ridge Province. The Piedmont Province is a maturely dissected upland underlain by a vast complex of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks which are predominantly of the Precambrian Age. The Blue Ridge Province is a remnant of a former highland which is formed by complexly folded and faulted Precambrian and Cambrian rocks.

  • Smith Mountain Pumped Storage Project What Is the Smith Mountain Project?
    Smith Mountain Pumped Storage Project What is the Smith Mountain Project? The Smith Mountain Project is a federally- licensed hydroelectric facility consisting of Smith Mountain Dam two (2) dams and two (2) lakes. Leesville Dam What is the Smith Mountain Project? The Project is unique in that it recycles water between the two lakes in a process Smith Mountain Dam known as “pumped storage.” Leesville Dam What is the Smith Mountain Project? Water from the upper reservoir (Smith Mountain Lake) passes through turbines at Smith Mountain Dam to generate electricity, then is released into the lower reservoir (Leesville Lake). Water can be pumped back into Smith Mountain Lake for re-use, or passed through turbines at Leesville Dam to generate more electricity before being released downstream. What is the Smith Mountain Project? Pumped-storage allows the Smith Mountain Project to generate 636 megawatts of electricity – approximately 10-times more energy than a conventional run-of-the-river hydro facility. The primary purpose of the Project is to generate electricity. This is known as the “Project Use.” The Project also benefits the local community by providing opportunities for: • public recreation • scenic enjoyment • fish & wildlife habitat • economic development What is the Smith Mountain Project? The Smith Mountain Project includes • more than 25,000 acres of water • more than 600 miles of shoreline • more than 13,000 individual parcels of land adjacent to the Project boundary Appalachian Power is responsible for managing various operational
