PROVENANCE Gift of Virgil C. Staff (387-501), 2004. HISTORICAL INFORMATION Virgil Clinton Staff was born on April 2, 1928 in Nevada, Iowa. As a child he watched Chicago & North Western trains coming through town. He graduated from Atlantic Union College in South Lancaster, Massachusetts and the University of California in Berkeley. A high school history teacher, Mr. Staff was a member of the American Historical Association, the Southern Historical Association and the Associates of the Institute of Early American History and Culture. Staff was also a member of the Bay Area Electric Railroad Association, the Pacific Locomotive Association, and the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society. He married his wife Lavada in 1949. Virgil C. Staff died on December 28, 2008. Filing Location: Statewide Museum Collections Center ID 2828 4/28/2015 p. 1 CALIFORNIA STATE RAILROAD MUSEUM MANUSCRIPT COLLECTIONS MS 720 VIRGIL C. STAFF COLLECTION RG 1. WESTERN PACIFIC RAILROAD SUBGROUP 1. AUTHORITIES FOR EXPENDITURE 1910-1956. 16 linear feet All railroads had a system for approval of capital expenditures by senior officers or, in some cases, by the board of directors. On the Western Pacific this approval process was known as Authority for Expenditure (AFE). Department heads, senior officers, the President, or the Board of Directors would propose capital expenditures as necessary to build new structures and other facilities such as depots, shops, and team tracks, to replace worn or obsolete equipment, upgrade track and structures, to buy locomotives and passenger cars. Each item or project was assigned an AFE number by the Finance or Accounting Department. On the WP, the AFE number was a serial number that started at 1 in 1910. Between December 26, 1917 when President Wilson assumed control of the nation's railroads under the United States Railroad Administration and March 1920, when control was returned to the railroads, some AFEs had a letter in front of the number. After WWI the number reset to each year and was followed by the last two digits of the year in which the AFE was activated. For example, 155 42 refers to the 155th project in 1942. The department proposing the expense would prepare a brief description to go with the AFE number. Each AFE number would have a corresponding file where project details and progress would be noted, including dates of commencement and completion. An AFE may include the following information: an AFE number, a CMO (Chief Mechanical Officer’s) number, a Chief Engineer's number, the date the AFE was approved, the date the project began, when it was completed, the location, and the project description. WP AFEs and Southern Pacific GMOs had the same function: to briefly describe a project or capital expenditure and to justify its inclusion in the yearly budget. To be approved, an AFE was transmitted from the Department where it originated to the Western Pacific Railroad President, who presented it to the Board of Directors (if necessary) for approval. Once approved, the AFE was sent to the Treasurer, who was responsible for generating the funds. The AFEs in the Virgil C. Staff Collection originated in the Engineering, Bridges and Roadway Department. Each AFE could be accompanied by correspondence, bills of lading, completion reports, record of material used and labor expended on the AFE, drawings or sketches, and specifications. Western Pacific AFE files can also be found in the records of other departments including: MS 43 RG 1 THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT: Series 3. Branches and Subsidiaries, Sacramento Northern, 1966-1967, and WPX Freight System, 1979-1982, Series 7. Finance and Accounts, Budget, 1959-1980 and AFEs and capital expenditures, overruns, 1943-1981, Series 12. Local facilities, Salt Lake City Union Depot & Railroad, 1958-1960, MS 43 RG 2 THE OFFICE OF THE TREASURER, Additional AFEs for the years 1915-1921 can be found in boxes 93 and 94. CSRM Library maintains a database of WP AFEs which contains information about 375 AFEs issued from 1967-1983, pertaining to acquiring, building, applying, capitalizing, constructing, converting, installing, purchasing, and retiring: freight cars, locomotives, and shops machinery for the Stockton Diesel Shop, the Sacramento Shops and the Elko, Nevada Car Shop. The WP maintained indexes to the AFEs in various formats and in various offices between 1910 and 1983. Before 1910 the railroad was considered to be under construction and there were no AFEs. After 1983, WP merged into the Union Pacific and ceased to have its own AFE process. The AFEs in the Virgil C. Staff Collection have been arranged into two series: 1. Western Pacific 2. Sacramento Northern AFEs are arranged by year (second part of the AFE number) and then by project number (first part of the AFE number).

  • Tennessee Erosion & Sediment Control Handbook
    TENNESSEE EROSION & SEDIMENT CONTROL HANDBOOK A Stormwater Planning and Design Manual for Construction Activities Fourth Edition AUGUST 2012 Acknowledgements This handbook has been prepared by the Division of Water Resources, (formerly the Division of Water Pollution Control), of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC). Many resources were consulted during the development of this handbook, and when possible, permission has been granted to reproduce the information. Any omission is unintentional, and should be brought to the attention of the Division. We are very grateful to the following agencies and organizations for their direct and indirect contributions to the development of this handbook: TDEC Environmental Field Office staff Tennessee Division of Natural Heritage University of Tennessee, Tennessee Water Resources Research Center University of Tennessee, Department of Biosystems Engineering and Soil Science Civil and Environmental Consultants, Inc. North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation Georgia Department of Natural Resources California Stormwater Quality Association ~ ii ~ Preface Disturbed soil, if not managed properly, can be washed off-site during storms. Unless proper erosion prevention and sediment control Best Management Practices (BMP’s) are used for construction activities, silt transport to a local waterbody is likely. Excessive silt causes adverse impacts due to biological alterations, reduced passage in rivers and streams, higher drinking water treatment costs for removing the sediment, and the alteration of water’s physical/chemical properties, resulting in degradation of its quality. This degradation process is known as “siltation”. Silt is one of the most frequently cited pollutants in Tennessee waterways. The division has experimented with multiple ways to determine if a stream, river, or reservoir is impaired due to silt.
