Columbia requests authorization to construct and operate facilities in Vinton, Jackson, Gallia, and Lawrence Counties, Ohio and Wayne County, West Virginia. The Buckeye XPress Project would increase the firm natural gas transportation capacity on Columbia’s system by 275 million cubic feet per day. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the Buckeye XPress Project in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Forest Service participated as cooperating agencies in the preparation of the EA. Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to resources potentially affected by the proposal and participate in the NEPA analysis.

Each of them has been a constant source of support. Finishing my undergraduate studies and writing this thesis during the COVID-19 pandemic has been difficult, and I am certain I am not alone in this sentiment, but their emotional support has definitely made this process easier. Additionally, thank you to Scott Smith, captain of the “S.S. Airbag,” the boat without which I could not have reached some of my study plots. I would also like to express my thanks to my thesis advisor, Dr. James Dyer. Without his assistance throughout this process, from field work to editing, this thesis would not have been possible.

  • Hocking Hills Waterfall and Wildflower Driving Tour
    Hocking Hills Waterfall and Wildflower Driving Tour: The Hocking Hills, Ohio Waterfalls & Wildflower driving tour was designed to let visitors travel the back roads and see the wonders of the Hocking Hills from their car. Most of the Hocking Hills, Ohio waterfalls can be seen without getting out or, at most, walking a few feet. However, the route includes the state park system, which does require some hiking. You may choose to bypass these if they have been visited in the past or save them for another trip. It is our hope that you will save the map and revisit from time to time. The waterfalls are beautiful any season of the year, but are most apt to be flowing in the spring. In the winter, Hocking Hills, Ohio waterfalls are usually frozen into magnificent ice formations that defy description. Because of the steepness of the hills in this area, the water runs off quickly after a rain and might soon quit flowing. In late summer there might not be any water flowing over the falls. They are still quite beautiful, however, and we hope that you will enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the deep gorges and rock formations. Because of the intense shade in the gorges there are only a few wildflowers near the waterfalls, but the roadsides are carpeted with beautiful Ohio wildflowers from early April through October. You may begin and end your waterfalls & wildflowers driving tour at any point, but since this writer lives near Cedar Falls the numbers start there: Cedar Falls This deep gorge is shady and cool.
