  • Tennessee Reference Stream Morphology and Large Woody Debris Assessment
    Tennessee Reference Stream Morphology and Large Woody Debris Assessment Report and Guidebook Prepared for: Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation Prepared by: Jennings Environmental, LLC December 2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report includes reference stream morphology and large woody debris data collected throughout Tennessee in 2015-2017. Hydraulic geometry data are presented as regional curves for Ecoregions 66, 67, 68/69, 71, and 65/74 to support stream assessment and restoration planning. Morphology relationships describe bankfull channel dimensions, pattern, and profile measurements in relation to channel-forming discharge and watershed drainage area. Large woody debris (LWD) data collected at reference streams serve as an indicator of natural stream conditions in forested floodplains. These databases and relationships are valuable for assessing disturbed streams to evaluate degree of departure from equilibrium, selecting and planning restoration projects to improve natural stream functions, and monitoring changes in stream conditions in undisturbed and restored stream systems. These databases should be supplemented with additional information collected during site assessment and restoration planning to improve understanding of local stream conditions throughout Tennessee. The morphology data collection included 114 undisturbed streams ranging in width from 3 to 132 feet with watershed drainage areas ranging from 0.02 to 117 square miles. Wherever available, United States Geological Survey (USGS) gage station sites were surveyed to provide long-term hydrologic information close to the reference stream. Bankfull stage indicators at a USGS gage provided the opportunity to quantify the channel-forming discharge and exceedance probability of this flow event. For reference streams with no gages, natural equilibrium stream segments with clearly identifiable incipient-floodplain bankfull stage indicators were surveyed to determine morphology parameters.

Primary Source: TVA Propaganda 31-39 1 Tennessee Valley Authority and the New Deal Essential Questions: What were the goals for the Tennessee Valley Authority? What were the successes and failures of TVA? When Franklin Roosevelt was elected president in 1932, the nation was in the depths of the Great Depression. Nearly 25% of American workers were unemployed and people throughout the nation were struggling to survive. Roosevelt promised to implement a program of relief, recovery and reform called the New Deal. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was one of the agencies created during the first one hundred days of the New Deal. During the 1920’s George Norris, Senator from Nebraska, had tried to secure support for a multipurpose development in Muscle Shoals, Alabama where the government owned a large fertilizer plant. Roosevelt expanded the scope and size of Norris proposal to encompass the entire watershed of the Tennessee River. TVA was given a number of goals: prevent flooding, improve navigation, help farmers, provide cheap electricity, and form a strategic plan for the region. The Tennessee Valley Region was one of the most depressed parts of the nation. Soil erosion had left much of the farmland ruined. Families scratched out a living on subsistence farms and lived in much the same way as their ancestors a hundred years earlier.
