Flood-Tracking Chart for the Flint River Basin, Georgia U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Open-File Report 01-325 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Flood-Tracking Chart for the Flint River Basin, Georgia This Flint River Basin Flood-Tracking Chart can be used by local citizens and emergency response personnel Flint River near Griffin (02344500) 1929, 1937–2000 to record the latest river stage and predicted flood-crest information along the Flint River and Kinchafoonee, Add 711.44 to Muckalee, Ichawaynoch-away, and Spring Creeks. By comparing the current stage (water-surface level above stage to convert a datum) and predicted flood crest to the recorded peak stages of previous floods, emergency response 26 to elevation 24.22 above sea level personnel and residents can make informed decisions concerning the threat to life and property. 24 This chart shows a map of the basin with the location 22 1994 of selected real-time river stage stations, which are To convert Stage to Sea Level 20 listed by name and station number.

  • STURGEON HABITAT QUANTIFIED by SIDE-SCAN SONAR IMAGERY By
    STURGEON HABITAT QUANTIFIED BY SIDE-SCAN SONAR IMAGERY by JOHN DAVID HOOK (Under the Direction of Nathan P. Nibbelink and Douglas L. Peterson) ABSTRACT The assessment and monitoring of freshwater habitats is essential to the successful management of imperiled fishes. Recent introduction of recreational multi-beam and side-scan sonar equipment allows rapid, low cost acquisition of bathymetric data and substrate imagery in navigable waters. However, utilization of this data is hindered by a lack of established protocols for processing and classification. I surveyed 298 km of the Ogeechee River, Georgia using low-cost recreational-grade side-scan and bathymetric sonar. I assessed classification accuracy of three approaches to working with recreational- grade sonar and quantified potential spawning grounds for Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus). I demonstrate that ecologically relevant habitat variables can be derived from low-cost sonar imagery at low levels of processing effort. INDEX WORDS: Side-scan sonar, Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus), habitat, classification accuracy STURGEON HABITAT QUANTIFIED BY SIDE-SCAN SONAR IMAGERY by JOHN DAVID HOOK B.S., Cleveland State University, 2008 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF SCIENCE ATHENS, GEORGIA 2011 © 2011 John David Hook All Rights Reserved STURGEON HABITAT QUANTIFIED BY SIDE-SCAN SONAR IMAGERY By JOHN DAVID HOOK Major Professors: Nathan Nibbelink Douglas Peterson Committee: Jeffrey Hepinstall-Cymerman Thomas Jordan Electronic Version Approved: Maureen Grasso Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia December 201 iv DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this to my parents, John and Joyce, whose continued support, encouragement, and enthusiasm have made all my endeavors possible, and to Emily, whose love and patience seem to know no bounds.

  • Paddle Georgia 2014 Fall Float on the Flint Oct
    Albany Allemande– Paddle Georgia 2014 Fall Float on the Flint Oct. 10—Flint River Distance: 14 miles Starting Elevation: 190 feet Lat: 31.6022°N Lon: 84.1381°W Ending Elevation: 151 feet Lat: 31.4388°N Lon: 84.1423°W Restroom Facilities: Mile 0 Flint River Hydro Dam Mile 4.7 Radium Springs Boat Ramp Mile 14 Mitchell County Landing Points of Interest: Mile 0.2—Muckafoonee Creek—A short distance up this creek on river right is the 1906 dam that created “Lake Worth.” Today, the dam serves as an overflow spillway for the larger dam on the Flint. This oddly named waterway is a combination of two even more oddly named creeks: Kinchafoonee and Muckalee creeks. The Creek Indian word Kinchafoonee is believed to have meant “Mortar Nutshells” while Muckalee, recorded the Indian Agent Benjamin Hawkins, meant “Pour on me.” While this is the site of one of the first hydro-power dams in South Georgia, the Georgia General Assembly had earlier established laws specifically protecting Kinchafoonee Creek from obstructions that would prevent fish passage. The 1876 law prohibited the construction of any “dam, trap, net, seine or other device for catching fish, unless the channel is left for six feet.” There was, of course, a major loophole in the law: “nothing herein contained shall be so construed to prevent the erection of dams for milling and manufacturing purposes,” and thus a dam came to be built on Kinchafoonee. These lyrical names still echo through the region’s culture. The Kinchafoonee Cowboys is a well-known hony-tonk band from the area and Leesburg’s Luke Bryan, included an ode to fishing, boating, four-wheeling and drinking called “Muckalee Creek Water” on his 2011 album Tailgates and Tanlines.

    Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Resources Division Law Enforcement Section Field Operations Weekly Report July 31-August 6, 2011 This report is a broad sampling of events that have taken place in the past week, but does not include all actions taken by the Law Enforcement Section. Region I- Calhoun (Northwest) BARTOW COUNTY On July 6th, Cpl. Lee Burns, RFC Byron Young, and RFC Barton Hendrix were planning lake patrols at the DNR boathouse when two frantic women approached the officers. The women were concerned that their two sons, who had gone riding on jet-skis several hours earlier, were missing and could not be found. The two teenagers had left from Coopers Day Use Area 1. The rangers immediately initiated a search for the teenagers and searched for over an hour. They finally located the two jet-skis and teenagers at Red Top Mountain State Park. One of the jet-skis had mechanical engine problems. The rangers reunited the missing teens with their families. CHEROKEE COUNTY On July 3rd, Sgt. Mike Barr received information that two blue and white Polaris jet-skis had been stolen from the owner’s driveway near Galts Ferry Day Use Area. Sgt. Barr contacted the owner and found that the jet-skis were on a double trailer parked in a driveway at their residence. The trailer lock had been cut. The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office was contacted and a stolen report completed. Sgt. Barr received more information on Thursday that the trailer of the jet-skis had been found abandoned on Cox Farm Road.

Water Quality For each water use classification, water quality Monitoring standards or criteria have been developed, which establish the framework used by the And Assessment Environmental Protection Division to make water use regulatory decisions. All of Georgia’s Background waters are currently classified as fishing, recreation, drinking water, wild river, scenic Water Resources Atlas The river miles and river, or coastal fishing. Table 3-2 provides a lake acreage estimates are based on the U.S. summary of water use classifications and Geological Survey (USGS) 1:100,000 Digital criteria for each use.
