Proceeding Southeastern Workshop on Aquatic Ecological Effects of Power Generation, December 1986.

Abstract

This report contains the proceedings of a conference held in Sarasota, Florida from December 3 - 5, 1986. These proceedings discuss the effects of power generation on the environment and contain the following titles: Regulatory and Technical Perspectives of Power Generation; Effects of Thermal Addition From the Crystal River Generating Complex on the Submergent Macrophyte Communities in Crystal Bay, Florida; The Effect of a Thermal Effluent on Growth Characteristics of Vallisneria Americana in the Chesapeake Bay, Maryland; Effects of Power Generation on Adult Striped Bass in Lake Anna, Virginia; Fisheries Studies of the North Anna River Downstream of a Large Cooling Reservoir, with Emphasis on Smallmouth Bass; Importance of Aerial Surveys to Assess Manatee (Trichechus Manatus) Winter Use of Discharges of Flower Power and Light Company Plants From 1977 to 1986; Manatee (Trichechus Manatus) Winter Use of Warm Water Discharges in Tampa Bay; Multivariate Methods used to Dissect Water Chemistry Data from Systems Receiving Thermal Effluents; Effects of the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station Cooling Water Intake on the Fish Populations of Monticello Reservoir; Effect of Intake Skimmer Wall Depth on Entrainment of Eggs and Larvae of Freshwater Drum at TVA's Sequoyah Nuclear Plant on Chickamauga Reservoir, Tennessee; Factors Affecting Susceptibility of Panaeid Shrimp to Water Intake Structures in Estuarine Environments; Sea Turtle Entrapment at a Coastal Power Plant; Impingement Changes After the Installation of a Fixed-Screen Fish Diversion Structure; Fine Mesh Screens: a New Approach to Preventing Entrainment; Impact Mitigation and Environmental Enhancement: It Does Work; When are Tempering Pumps an Effective Bat for Mitigating Thermal Impacts; Results of Biological Evaluation Studies Conducted at Power Plants with Angled Screen Intakes; Potential Impact of Tidal Power Development on Estuarine Environments; Mitigation Banking in the Southeast; Successful Licensing of a Major Power Complex in the Southeastern United States Encompassing Multiple Regulatory Agencies Goals; Some Observations on Aquatic Impacts of Power Plant Trace Element Discharges; Radiocesium Kinetics in the Yellow-bellied Turtle (Pseudemys Scripta); Pollutant Enrichment of Sediments from Cooling Water Discharge in Bahia De Guayanilla, Puerto Rico; Effluent Toxicity Testing for Industrial Discharges.
