Since the tank’s installation, our winter seasons have consistently provided the Mid-Atlantic’s best skiing and snowboarding surfaces. As we like to say here, ‘more snow equals more fun!’” Armed with one of the world’s most sophisticated snowmaking systems, Wintergreen Resort, located in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, wields SNOWPOWER thanks to the $6 million infrastructure improvements that include the new 5 million gallon water storage tank and upgrades to the York® computerized snowmaking equipment. The resort now makes twice as much snow, twice as fast. The tank system was designed by Wiley Wilson and was cited as one of the top seven engineering achievements completed in Virginia during 2013. The award recognizes the firm’s leadership bringing together a pre-eminent team of design-build professionals implementing vital water system improvements for the Wintergreen community just in time for the 2012-2013 winter season.

  • 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.
