FINAL REPORT Status Survey for Three Rare Alabama Crayfishes
FINAL REPORT Status Survey for three rare Alabama crayfishes, Cambarus cracens, Cambarus scotti, and Cambarus unestami ILLINOIS NATURAL HISTORY SURVEY PRAIRIE RESEARCH INSTITUTE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA CHAMPAIGN 1816 S. OAK CHAMPAIGN, IL 61820 INHS TECHNICAL REPORT 2012(21) BY Stephanie L. Kilburn Illinois Natural History Survey 1816 S. Oak Champaign, IL 61820 Christopher A. Taylor, Ph. D. Illinois Natural History Survey 1816 S. Oak Champaign, IL 61820 AND Guenter A. Schuster, Ph.D. 305 Boone Way Richmond, KY 40475 PREPARED FOR: U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Alabama Ecological Services Field Office 1208-B Main Street Daphne, AL 36526 20 July 2012 Introduction The Southeastern United States is famous for aquatic biodiversity. This area is known as a hotspot for fish and mussel species and is the most diverse region in the world for freshwater crayfishes. Because of this, the region is also an area of great conservation concern. A review by Taylor et al. (2007) found that nearly half of the crayfish in the area were in need of some conservation attention. This is of particular importance for the state of Alabama and its 85 species of crayfish, some of which are limited to a single drainage and are still substantially understudied. Three such species were the focus of the current study. The Slender Claw crayfish, Cambarus cracens, the Chattooga River Crayfish, C. scotti, and the Blackbarred Crayfish, C. unestami each have limited ranges confined to northeastern Alabama and northwestern Georgia. As such they are vulnerable to population declines due to single catastrophic events and are listed as either Endangered (C. -

SaltpeterMiningand the Civil War inJackson County, Alabama by Marion O. Smith Saltpeter Mining and the Civil War in Jackson County, Alabama Marion O. Smith Printed by Byron's Graphic Arts, Maryville, Tennessee June, 1990 FRONT COVER Saltpeter vat cast inTumbling Rock Cave VOLUME 24, NUMBER 2, JOURNAL OF SPELEAN HISTORY, APRIL-JUNE, 1990 THE NEED FOR SALTPETER The formation of the Confederate States of America in early 1861 soon led to a bloody Civil War which created an urgency for all types of munitions. One of the South's most crucial necessities was to find an adequate supply for the ingredients of gunpowder: sulphur, charcoal, and saltpeter. The first two were not much of a challenge. Large amounts of sulphur were stored in Louisiana, originally for use in refining sugar, and pyrites could be roasted. Trees for charcoal, "the willow, dogwood, and alder," were plenti ful. Saltpeter (calcium nitrate converted to potassium nitrate) was the major concern. Although some state governments had various amounts of powder on hand, and more was acquired when Federal forts and arsenals were seized, the total was far from adequate. 1 Consequent ly, there were efforts by local, state, and the Confederate governments to insure that there was a sufficient supply of powder and its components. One decision was to buy saltpeter and powder in Europe and ship it through the recently declared Federal naval blockade. Another was to re vive saltpeter m~n~ng in the Appalachian caves of Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama, which had been largely neglected since the War of 1812, and to encourage mining in the Ozarks of Arkansas. -

(1) Use classifications utilized by the State of Alabama are as follows: Outstanding Alabama Water ................... OAW Public Water Supply ......................... PWS Swimming and Other Whole Body Shellfish Harvesting ........................ SH Fish and Wildlife ........................... F&W Limited Warmwater Fishery ................... LWF Agricultural and Industrial Water Supply ................................ A&I (2) Use classifications apply water quality criteria adopted for particular uses based on existing utilization, uses reasonably expected in the future, and those uses not now possible because of correctable pollution but which could be made if the effects of pollution were controlled or eliminated. Of necessity, the assignment of use classifications must take into consideration the physical capability of waters to meet certain uses. (3) Those use classifications presently included in the standards are reviewed informally by the Department's staff as the need arises, and the entire standards package, to include the use classifications, receives a formal review at least once every three years. Efforts currently underway through local 201 planning projects will provide additional technical data on certain waterbodies in the State, information on treatment alternatives, and applicability of various management techniques, which, when available, will hopefully lead to new decisions regarding use classifications. Of particular interest are those segments which are currently classified for any usage which has an associated Supp. -
A Background Investigation of Tornado Activity Across the Southern Cumberland Plateau Terrain System of Northeastern Alabama
DECEMBER 2018 L Y Z A A N D K N U P P 4261 A Background Investigation of Tornado Activity across the Southern Cumberland Plateau Terrain System of Northeastern Alabama ANTHONY W. LYZA AND KEVIN R. KNUPP Department of Atmospheric Science, Severe Weather Institute–Radar and Lightning Laboratories, Downloaded from http://journals.ametsoc.org/mwr/article-pdf/146/12/4261/4367919/mwr-d-18-0300_1.pdf by NOAA Central Library user on 29 July 2020 University of Alabama in Huntsville, Huntsville, Alabama (Manuscript received 23 August 2018, in final form 5 October 2018) ABSTRACT The effects of terrain on tornadoes are poorly understood. Efforts to understand terrain effects on tornadoes have been limited in scope, typically examining a small number of cases with limited observa- tions or idealized numerical simulations. This study evaluates an apparent tornado activity maximum across the Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain plateaus of northeastern Alabama. These plateaus, separated by the narrow Wills Valley, span ;5000 km2 and were impacted by 79 tornadoes from 1992 to 2016. This area represents a relative regional statistical maximum in tornadogenesis, with a particular tendency for tornadogenesis on the northwestern side of Sand Mountain. This exploratory paper investigates storm behavior and possible physical explanations for this density of tornadogenesis events and tornadoes. Long-term surface observation datasets indicate that surface winds tend to be stronger and more backed atop Sand Mountain than over the adjacent Tennessee Valley, potentially indicative of changes in the low-level wind profile supportive to storm rotation. The surface data additionally indicate potentially lower lifting condensation levels over the plateaus versus the adjacent valleys, an attribute previously shown to be favorable for tornadogenesis. -

After approval of a reservoir land management plan (LMP) by the TVA Board of Directors (TVA Board), all future uses of TVA lands on that reservoir must then be consistent with the allocations within that LMP. TVA’s Land Policy (TVA 2006) states that TVA may consider changing a land use designation outside of the normal planning process only for the purposes of providing water access for industrial or commercial recreation operations on privately owned back-lying land or to implement TVA’s Shoreline Management Policy (SMP). A change in allocation of any parcel is subject to approval by the TVA Board or its designee. -
