Senior Archaeological Specialist, Tennessee Valley Authority Half a century later, in 2004, a team of archaeologists from the University of Tennessee noted that, in addition to damage from vandalism and rock climbing at Painted Bluff, humidity and erosion were causing pictographs at the National Register of Historic Places-eligible site to chip and flake. THE PROJECT Painted Bluff overlooks Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) land at TVA’s Wheeler Reservoir. The agency worked with the Alabama Historical Commission to have the site named to its 2013 “Places in Peril” list, highlighting the state’s most endangered landmarks.

Oklahoma Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas In 2014, TVA worked with the consultants and community volunteers from northern Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town Alabama and University of Alabama students to catalog, remove, and disguise the Kialegee Tribal Town damage at Painted Bluff. Graffiti 50 years or older was left in place pending further Thlopthlocco Tribal Town research, while disturbances less than 50 years old were removed or camouflaged.

Oklahoma Finally, TVA used Painted Bluff as a proving ground for an archaeological site monitoring Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma program called “A Thousand Eyes.” Volunteers went through the program training Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma course, and then recorded data on the site that was submitted to TVA.

The resulting nuclear blast and radiation would destroy fleets of attacking bombers.

The installation was one of 145 Nike Hercules missile sites Preservation Officer across the U.S. constructed from 1957 to 1960, and Site Summit was one of the very few Nike sites to conduct actual test firing of missiles. It was one of the last Nike missile sites to close in 1979 and subsequently was abandoned for several years until interest in its preservation grew following the end of the Cold War. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996 as a historic district of national-level significance. THE PROJECT In response to deteriorating buildings and increasing trespassing and vandalism, in 2007 the Army proposed a management plan that would have demolished almost half of the site. The demolition would have greatly diminished the ability to use Nike Site Summit to interpret a historic working missile battery of the Cold War era.

  • Also Identified As an Amendment to the Zoning Plan
    MEMORANDUM TO: Pitkin County Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Mike Kraemer, Senior Planner RE: AR-2 Zone District Land Use Text Code Amendment DATE: September 5th, 2017 SUMMARY OF REQUEST: A “Special Events Venue” is a use that is currently prohibited in the Residential – 2 Acre (AR-2) Zone District. The Applicant has proposed to amend the Land Use Code to establish a “Special Events Venue” as a Special Review Use within the AR-2 Zone District. Since Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) review of the request, there has been a “substantial change” to the proposal that is required to be reviewed again by the P&Z prior to final decision by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). Additionally, pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S) Section 30-28-116, the requested amendment is also identified as an Amendment to the Zoning Plan. APPLICANT: Redstone Castle, LLC – Steve and April Carver REPRESENTATIVE: Glenn Horn BACKGROUND: The P&Z heard this request at a regularly scheduled meeting on March 28th, 2017 (Staff memo to P&Z, Attachment A). At this meeting, the P&Z adopted a motion to recommend approval of the proposed Land Use Code Text Amendment to establish a Special Events Venue as a Special Review Use in the AR-2 Zone District with the Staff recommended change to establish a 10 acre minimum lot size for a property to be eligible to request this designation. The purpose of establishing a 10 acre minimum lot size was based on the concept that larger acreage properties would have an advantage over smaller acreage properties to absorb potential impacts created by the Special Events Venue use.

  • Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 a Publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs
    Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 A publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs Copyright 2008. All rights reserved. May not be reproduced or copied in any manner whatsoever. 1 Preface This field trips guide book has been written by Dave Carter and Ed Funk of the Northern Virginia Photographic Society, NVPS. Both are experienced and successful field trip organizers. Joseph Miller, NVPS, coordinated the printing and production of this guide book. In our view, field trips can provide an excellent opportunity for camera club members to find new subject matter to photograph, and perhaps even more important, to share with others the love of making pictures. Photography, after all, should be enjoyable. The pleasant experience of an outing together with other photographers in a picturesque setting can be stimulating as well as educational. It is difficullt to consistently arrange successful field trips, particularly if the club's membership is small. We hope this guide book will allow camera club members to become more active and involved in field trip activities. There are four camera clubs that make up the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs McLean, Manassas-Warrenton, Northern Virginia and Vienna. All of these clubs are located within 45 minutes or less from each other. It is hoped that each club will be receptive to working together to plan and conduct field trip activities. There is an enormous amount of work to properly arrange and organize many field trips, and we encourage the field trips coordinator at each club to maintain close contact with the coordinators at the other clubs in the Alliance and to invite members of other clubs to join in the field trip.

  • Deer Plan Cover 09-18.Cdr
    Maryland White-tailed Deer Plan 2009-2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) currently garner more attention than any other wildlife species in Maryland. Wildlife-watchers, photographers and hunters contribute millions of dollars each year to the state’s economy while pursuing deer. At the same time, deer are responsible for Maryland’s farmers and other citizens sustaining millions of dollars worth of damage to crops, landscaping and vehicles. Managing the deer population to satisfy recreational interests, while at the same time reducing damage concerns, is a challenging and controversial process. White-tailed deer were plentiful in Maryland at the time of settlement in the 1600s. However, market- hunting and habitat destruction nearly extirpated deer from the state by 1900. The early 1900s through the 1960s was a period of population restoration and deer proliferated due to ideal habitat conditions and the protection of female deer from harvest. By the 1980s, management philosophies across much of the state changed from restoring deer to stabilizing and reducing deer numbers. Active management of deer is a necessity in Maryland today if we are to maintain population levels compatible with the varied interests of the citizens of the state. As an evolutionary prey species, deer exhibit a high fecundity rate, enabling them to rapidly increase in number. Presently, non-lethal management techniques (such as contraceptives) and non-hunting mortality (disease, injuries and predators) are not sufficient to maintain deer populations at satisfactory levels. The lethal control of deer via regulated hunting remains the most effective way to balance the deer population with environmental and cultural concerns on a landscape scale.
