Response Summary for Comments Received on the Vermont 2010 Draft Versions of The
Response summary for comments received on the Vermont 2010 Draft versions of the: 303(d) List of Impaired Waters (Part A) List of Priority Waters (Parts B-G) Attachment A: Part B justification for Big Spruce Brook Attachment B: 1272 Order issued to Stowe Mountain Resort Draft Lists Comment Period A public comment period was established upon the release of the draft 2010 303(d) List of Impaired Waters and the 2010 List of Priority Waters (the Lists) from March 11, 2010 through April 9, 2010. In conjunction with the release of the draft Lists, an informational public meeting was conducted in Waterbury on March 24, 2010 to present the Lists and to answer any questions. At the close of the public comment period, VTDEC had received comments from the following seven parties: Commenter: Submitted by: Identification: City of Rutland Same Rutland Stowe Mountain Resort VHB/Pioneer Stowe Windham Regional Commission, Natural Same WRC Resources Committee Stratton Area Citizen’s Committee Same SACC USEPA Region 1 Same USEPA1 Bromley Mountain Ski Resort VHB/Pioneer Bromley Summit Ventures NE, LLC (Sugarbush Resort) VHB/Pioneer Sugarbush Some comments have been edited or paraphrased for greater clarity and brevity, but every effort was made to preserve the original meaning and context. Comments are grouped according to pertinent sections of the lists. Part A and Interim List Comments 1. Comment: We are concerned that sediment has been removed as a pollutant from the West River below Ball Mt Dam to Townshend Dam -10miles (VT11-10). It appears that the sediment that was released from Ball Mt Lake into the West River below the Ball Mt Dam over 10 years ago has been washed away enough to create an equilibrium in the flow of sediment. -
Hydropower Resource Assessment at Non-Powered Usace Sites
HYDROPOWER RESOURCE ASSESSMENT AT NON-POWERED USACE SITES Prepared by the Hydropower Analysis Center for USACE Headquarters July 2013 Final Report Hydropower Resource Assessment at Non-Powered USACE Sites EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is the largest owner-operator of hydropower plants in the United States, with 75 plants and an installed capability of 21,000 megawatts (MW), or about 24% of the total hydroelectric capacity. This report describes a national hydropower resource assessment study that assessed the potential and economic feasibility of adding hydroelectric power to these non- powered USACE projects over a 50-year period of analysis. Site Selection In selecting non-powered USACE projects with hydropower potential, the study employed a 2012 report by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) that identified the hydropower potential of 54,000 non- powered dams in the United States. Among these dams, 419 were USACE non-powered dams. This number was reduced to 223 sites using the following screening, as shown on the table below. • Generate 1 MW or more of potential hydropower. • No current Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) license. • No obvious hindrances in developing hydropower. Distribution of USACE Sites with Potential Hydropower Capability FERC Preliminary or No FERC Permits Total Projects Pending Preliminary Permit Division Identified Total Percentage Total Percent Number of Total Number of Total Great Lakes & Ohio River (LRD) 71 40 56% 31 44% Mississippi Valley (MVD) 50 28 56% 22 44% Southwestern (SWD) 39 7 18% 32 82% North Atlantic (NAD) 21 2 10% 19 90% South Atlantic (SAD) 19 8 42% 11 58% Northwestern (NWD) 12 5 42% 7 58% South Pacific (SPD) 11 2 18% 9 82% USACE Total 223 92 41% 131 59% Data Collection To improve the study data, the daily hydraulic head and flow values for all 223 sites were obtained. -
The New Deal Versus Yankee Independence: the Failure of Comprehensive Development on the Connecticut River, and Its Long-Term Consequences
The New Deal versus Yankee independence: The failure of comprehensive development on the Connecticut River, and its long-term consequences Eve Vogel1 Department of Geosciences, UMass Amherst With assistance from Alexandra Lacy 2011 alumna (BS, Environmental Sciences), UMass Amherst Adapted from: Vogel, Eve and Alexandra Lacy. Forthcoming. The New Deal versus Yankee independence: The failure of comprehensive development on the Connecticut River, and its long-term consequences. The Northeastern Geographer 4 (2) Introduction For a person familiar with federal dams on major rivers in the American West or South, a visit to an Army Corps of Engineers dam in New England’s largest river basin, the Connecticut, can be a startling experience. Instead of an extended reservoir, one looks down from the empty heights and on both sides sees only a small river far below. Nor is there the fanfare – the visitors center, the historical information, the celebratory propaganda. Simply finding one of the Connecticut River’s federal dams can take some effort. None are on the mainstem. One must drive through the bucolic New England byways and forested hills to find a dam on a tributary (See Figure 1). For New Englanders, the near-invisibility of federal dams may not seem surprising. New England’s history and identity, including the Connecticut Valley’s, seem to rest with the small- to medium-scale development of rivers with mill dams during the 17th thru 19th centuries (e.g. Delaney 1983; Steinberg 1991). It might be more startling for many to learn that during the mid- twentieth century, the federal government did build a series of very large dams in the Connecticut Basin, which have had profound effect on the river. -
