Best answer:

Answer by Charles K
— New England’s long rolling hills, mountains, and jagged coastline are glacial landforms resulting from the retreat of ice sheets approximately 18,000 years ago, during the last glacial period. The coast of the region, extending from southwestern Connecticut to northeastern Maine, is dotted with lakes, hills, swamps, and sandy beaches. Further inland are the Appalachian Mountains, extending through Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Among them, in the White Mountains of New Hampshire is Mount Washington, which at 1,917 m (6,288 ft), is the highest peak in the northeast United States. It is also the site of the highest recorded wind speed on Earth. Vermont’s Green Mountains, which become the Berkshire Hills in western Massachusetts and Connecticut, are smaller than the White Mountains. Valleys in the region include the Connecticut River Valley and the Merrimack Valley.

The longest river is the Connecticut River, which flows from northeastern New Hampshire for 655 km (407 mi), emptying into the Long Island Sound, roughly bisecting the region. Lake Champlain, wedged between Vermont and New York, is the largest lake in the region, followed by Moosehead Lake in Maine and Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire.

By DUNCAN MANSFIELD, Associated Press Writer Duncan Mansfield, Associated Press Writer – Tue Jun 9, 11:10 am ET
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Wealthy and influential people seeking private lakeshore access to the Tennessee Valley Authority’s 11,000 miles of shoreline on the Tennessee River system appeared to receive preferential treatment, according to an audit.

TVA Inspector General Richard Moore’s 85-page report released Monday found no evidence that rules were deliberately broken, but said the nation’s largest public utility managed its program “selectively and arbitrarily” often to the benefit of “the wealthy, the influential, or both.”

Among those receiving approval for waterfront access was U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler, D-N.C., who until recently served on a House subcommittee with oversight of TVA.

Shuler spokeswoman Julie Fishman said Tuesday the congressman was “pleased that they have completed the review and found … no evidence that he used his position to pressure the TVA.”

The audit, pushed by publicity over Shuler’s influence on a residential lake development near Knoxville in which he is an investor, focused on TVA’s “maintain and grow” program under which it grants private water-access rights to one piece of land in exchange for public rights on another chunk. The goal is to ensure no net loss of public shoreline.

Moore worried the program, as it was run, may undermine TVA lakeshore management reforms adopted in 2006. For the first time, residential development limits were set on TVA lakes and rivers, ensuring the public could use at least 68 percent of its managed shoreline.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090609/ap_on_re_us/us_tva_land_deals
