    GeologicGeologic Resource Resourcess Inventory Inventory Scoping Scoping Summary Summary Chattahoochee Glacier Bay National River NationalPark, Alaska Recreation Area Georgia Geologic Resources Division PreparedNational Park by Katie Service KellerLynn Geologic Resources Division October US Department 31, 2012 of the Interior National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior The Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) Program, administered by the Geologic Resources Division (GRD), provides each of 270 identified natural area National Park System units with a geologic scoping meeting, a scoping summary (this document), a digital geologic map, and a geologic resources inventory report. Geologic scoping meetings generate an evaluation of the adequacy of existing geologic maps for resource management. Scoping meetings also provide an opportunity to discuss park-specific geologic management issues, distinctive geologic features and processes, and potential monitoring and research needs. If possible, scoping meetings include a site visit with local experts. The Geologic Resources Division held a GRI scoping meeting for Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area on March 19, 2012, at the headquarters building in Sandy Springs, Georgia. Participants at the meeting included NPS staff from the national recreation area, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, and the Geologic Resources Division; and cooperators from the University of West Georgia, Georgia Environmental Protection Division, and Colorado State University (see table 2, p. 21). During the scoping meeting, Georgia Hybels (NPS Geologic Resources Division, GIS specialist) facilitated the group’s assessment of map coverage and needs, and Bruce Heise (NPS Geologic Resources Division, GRI program coordinator) led the discussion of geologic features, processes, and issues. Jim Kennedy (Georgia Environmental Protection Division, state geologist) provided a geologic overview of Georgia, with specific information about the Chattahoochee River area.

  • Chattahoochee River: # State Fails to Ensure Critical Minimum Flows 7 at Atlanta
    2012’s Worst Offenses Against GEORGIA’s WATER CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER: # State Fails to Ensure Critical Minimum Flows 7 at Atlanta Twice in 2012, Bull Sluice Lake, a reservoir on the Chattahoochee River formed by Morgan Falls Dam near Atlanta, nearly disappeared, stranding boaters on mudflats. The sudden drop in Bull Sluice’s elevation was the result of a communication glitch between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), #7 which operates Lake Lanier’s Buford Dam upstream, and Georgia Power Co., which operates Morgan Falls Dam. As a result of the glitch, Chattahoochee River flows below Buford and Morgan Falls dams dipped to unprecedented Chattahoochee River lows with unknown water quality consequences, underscoring an ongoing problem on the river: the lack of timely flow and water quality monitoring. In the 1970s, Georgia’s Environmental Protection Division (EPD) established a minimum flow of 750 cubic feet per second (cfs) in the Chattahoochee River below Morgan Falls Dam at Peachtree Creek in order to dilute discharges from sewage treatment plants in metro Atlanta and to protect the health of the river. Unfortunately, EPD has yet to provide real-time monitoring at this critical location, making compliance with this flow requirement impossible to verify. In addition, since implementing the minimum flow standard more than 30 years ago, EPD has yet to conduct a comprehensive, scientific study to confirm that 750 cfs is adequate to assimilate metro Atlanta’s sewage and protect water quality. THE RIVER: Flowing 436 miles from its headwaters in the North Georgia mountains to its confluence with the Flint River in southwest Georgia, the Chattahoochee is the most heavily used river in the state.

    An Archaeological Assessment of THE POWER’S HOUSE (Site 9FU561) Morgan Falls Park, Sandy Springs, Fulton County, Georgia An Archaeological Assessment of the Power's House Site (9FU561), Morgan Falls Park, Sandy Springs Fulton County, Georgia Report submitted to: Sandy Springs Conservancy • 383 Morgan Falls Road • Atlanta, Georgia 30350 Report prepared by: New South Associates • 6150 East Ponce de Leon Avenue • Stone Mountain, Georgia 30083 J.W. Joseph PhD, RPA – Principal Investigator Wm. Matthew Tankersley – Archaeologist and Co-Author J.W. Joseph PhD, RPA – Archaeologist and Co-Author August 18, 2009 • Redacted Report New South Associates Technical Report 1775 I. INTRODUCTION This report presents the results of an archaeological assessment of the Power’s House Site, also known as the Adair Cottage, an archaeological ruin (9FU561) located within the boundaries of the City of Sandy Spring's Morgan Falls Overlook Park. The site was outside the study area of both a 2005 environmental assessment (EA) and the Georgia Power Relicensing Project, thus was not included in the findings of these reports. The home site was exposed when the City of Sandy Springs did preparatory clearing for the Morgan Falls Overlook Park. Its presence has sparked interest in the Sandy Springs community regarding the age and association of this site, as well as potential values that the chimney and house site, if preserved, could bring to the park. The Sandy Springs Conservancy (SSC) has a long- standing interest in the Morgan Falls area. As early as 1999, many saw the potential for a riverside park on what was an overgrown and abandoned county parcel.

  • 137 CHAPTER 5 NATURAL RESOURCES ELEMENT What Are
    Chapter 5 Natural Resources Element (June 20, 2005 Draft) 137 Roswell, Georgia, Comprehensive Plan 2025 CHAPTER 5 NATURAL RESOURCES ELEMENT What are the natural features which make a township handsome? A river, with its waterfalls and meadows, a lake, a hill, a cliff or individual rocks, a forest, and ancient trees standing singly. Such things are beautiful; they have a high use which dollars and cents never represent. If the inhabitants of a town were wise, they would seek to preserve these things, though at a considerable expense… Henry David Thoreau, Journal, 1861 (Quoted in Dramstad, Olson, and Forman 1996) The Natural Resources Element provides the City with the opportunity to inventory natural and environmentally sensitive resources; to consider the issues, problems and opportunities associated with those resources; and to develop goals, policies and strategies for their appropriate use, conservation and protection that are consistent with those established for other Plan elements. An assessment of natural resources must be conducted to consider how they can most wisely and responsibly be utilized, developed, managed or preserved in order to yield maximum long- range benefits to the community. The assessment should also consider the potential vulnerability of the community's natural resources to land development and other human activities and evaluate whether protecting them is important to the future health and economic well being of the community. Levels of community support for conservation of various natural resources should also be considered. The results of this assessment should be considered in the development of needs and goals and an associated implementation strategy that sets forth any special treatment or protection to be provided these resources over the planning period.

  • November 2012 2012’S Worst Offenses Against GEORGIA’S WATER
    Flat Creek Richland Creek Allen Creek Savannah River South River Ogeechee River Altamaha River Patchitla Creek Flint River Tired Creek November 2012 2012’s Worst Offenses Against GEORGIA’S WATER GEORGIA WATER COALITION’S DIRTY DOZEN 2012: A CALL TO ACTION Georgia Water Coalition’s “Dirty Dozen” list highlights the worst offenses to Georgia’s waters. What unites each of the “Dirty Dozen” is that public waters are being abused in ways that benefit a few, but harm many including property owners, downstream communities, fish and wildlife, hunters and anglers, and boaters and swimmers. Over the past decade, the health of Georgia’s waterways has been compromised by a lack of funding for environmental protection programs and political cronyism. Georgia’s Environmental Protection Division (EPD) has seen its funding cut by 44 percent and staff cut by 23 percent (250 positions) since 2008, seriously jeopardizing its ability to enforce the state’s environmental laws. More problematic is the political cronyism that puts campaign contributors and their business interests on the Department of Natural Resources Board, which oversees EPD—the agency that regulates those same businesses. Board members who have spoken up for the protection of waterways have been systematically removed from the board and replaced with political cronies. Of the 16 governor-appointed board members currently serving, 11 have ties to entities that EPD regulates. Even the current Director of EPD, a political-appointee of Gov. Nathan Deal, previously served as a lobbyist for a firm that represents industry and business groups. Too often in Georgia, the “fox is watching the hen house,” and the system gives polluters free passes while the rest of us get dirty water.
