However, decades of budget constraints and inadequate management have prevented National Parks from maintaining vistas as originally intended. Many important vistas are disappearing due to encroaching vegetation. As a result, numerous complaints and concerns have been expressed by park visitors, especially within Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Vistas still play an intricate role in the visitor experience of national parks {\textendash} an experience worth protecting. In an effort to conserve this experience, ecologically sustainable vistas must be established that are both aesthetically pleasing to visitors and manageable by limited Park resources. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is America{\textquoteright}s most visited national park, preserving one of the largest, most diverse natural areas in the country. Recent studies showed that 95 percent (approximately 8.5 million) of the Park{\textquoteright}s tourists participated in scenic drives. Vistas along Newfound Gap Road {\textendash} arguably the Park{\textquoteright}s most scenic corridor {\textendash} serve as windows into a variety of forest ecosystems, an experience comparable to a drive from Georgia to Maine. Traditionally, Park vista management has consisted of ad hoc vegetation removal and does not address additional ways to manage future clearing. This thesis suggests that utilizing herbicide and native low growing shrubs that already exist on site to inhibit regrowth is the best way to manage vistas. Once these new low growing ecosystems are established, vista clearings should be nearly self-sustaining, only requiring minimal vegetation removal every seven years. The vista management recommendations made in this document offer a practical, ecological plan that addresses the maintenance needs of the Park and restores memorable views for millions of visitors.},

Tennessee Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering to assess Abrams Creek for potential stream restoration needs. A presumed, unstable study reach and a stable reference reach were identified on Abrams Creek in Cades Cove. Chemical, biological and physical assessments were completed on Abrams Creek in order to evaluate ecological health and channel stability of the stream. Water quality and ecological (fish and habitat surveys) data acquired by National Park Service, Tennessee Valley Authority and the University of Tennessee were assessed. The physical assessment included two approaches; they were: 1) empirical or reference reach approach; and 2) analytical or non-reference reach approach. The current empirical technique used was the analog Natural Channel Design. The current analytical techniques were the hydraulic, sediment transport and erosion models (HEC-RAS, CONCEPTS). These physical assessment techniques were used to determine bankfull or effective flows, sedimentation, stream stability, and ecohydraulics. In addition to using these techniques for the Park{\textquoteright}s management objectives, they were applied to both reaches for comparison in order to clarify areas where professional judgment may introduce uncertainty. From comprehensive physical assessments no system wide instabilities were observed but some riparian area differences and localized erosion were noted. Recommendations for potential restoration needs on Abrams Creek include localized stabilization of stream banks and vegetating the riparian corridor along the study reach.}, keywords = {Abrams Creek, Fishes -- Habitat, Preservation and restoration, Water quality}, url = {http://trace.tennessee.edu/utk_gradthes/268/}, author = {Carter, Daniel L} } @article {4463, title = {Elkmont Historic District Draft Environmental Impact Statement: Volume I}, year = {2006}, note = {On file Cultural Resources Management Office, Elkmont, GRSM.}, institution = {Great Smoky Mountains National Park}, address = {Gatlinburg, TN}, keywords = {Elkmont -- History, Preservation and restoration}, author = {National Park Service} } @article {4464, title = {Elkmont Historic District Draft Environmental Statement and General Management Plan Amendment; Volume II Appendices}, year = {2006}, note = {On file Cultural Resources Management Office, Elkmont, GRSM.}, institution = {Great Smoky Mountains National Park}, address = {Gatlinburg, TN}, keywords = {Elkmont -- History, Elkmont -- Structures, Preservation and restoration}, author = {National Park Service} } @booklet {5793, title = {Public Scoping Posters: Institute at Tremont Development Concept Plan/Environmental Assessment}, year = {2006}, abstract = {Posters used for public scoping that describe the project{\textquoteright}s purpose, need, impacts and alternatives.}, keywords = {Educational services, Preservation and restoration, Structures, Tourism -- Environmental impacts, Tremont}, url = {http://diglib.lib.utk.edu/dotsdata/NPS_PublicScopingPostersTremontDevelpmentConceptPlan_2006.pdf}, author = {National Park Service} } @article {4577, title = {Report on Archeological Investigations for the Rehabilitation of Comfort Stations and Picnic/Camp Areas, PMIS $\#$028365}, year = {2006}, note = {On file Cultural Resources Management Office, Parkwide Memos, GRSM.
