Assessing the Potential of Reservoir Outflow Management to Reduce
HYDROLOGICAL PROCESSES Hydrol. Process. 27, 1426–1439 (2013) Published online 23 April 2012 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com) DOI: 10.1002/hyp.9284 Assessing the potential of reservoir outflow management to reduce sedimentation using continuous turbidity monitoring and reservoir modelling† Casey Lee* and Guy Foster US Geological Survey, Lawrence, KS, 66049, USA Abstract: In-stream sensors are increasingly deployed as part of ambient water quality-monitoring networks. Temporally dense data from these networks can be used to better understand the transport of constituents through streams, lakes or reservoirs. Data from existing, continuously recording in-stream flow and water quality monitoring stations were coupled with the two-dimensional hydrodynamic CE-QUAL-W2 model to assess the potential of altered reservoir outflow management to reduce sediment trapping in John Redmond Reservoir, located in east-central Kansas. Monitoring stations upstream and downstream from the reservoir were used to estimate 5.6 million metric tons of sediment transported to John Redmond Reservoir from 2007 through 2010, 88% of which was trapped within the reservoir. The two-dimensional model was used to estimate the residence time of 55 equal- volume releases from the reservoir; sediment trapping for these releases varied from 48% to 97%. Smaller trapping efficiencies were observed when the reservoir was maintained near the normal operating capacity (relative to higher flood pool levels) and when average residence times were relatively short. An idealized, alternative outflow management scenario was constructed, which minimized reservoir elevations and the length of time water was in the reservoir, while continuing to meet downstream flood control end points identified in the reservoir water control manual. -
Kansas Resource Management Plan and Record of Decision
United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Tulsa District Oklahoma Resource Area September 1991 KANSAS RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN Dear Reader: This doCument contains the combined Kansas Record of Decision (ROD) and Resource Management Plan (RMP). The ROD and RMP are combined to streamline our mandated land-use-planning requirements and to provide the reader with a useable finished product. The ROD records the decisions of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for administration of approximately 744,000 acres of Federal mineral estate within the Kansas Planning Area. The Planning Area encompasses BLM adm in i sterad sp 1 it-estate mi nera 1 s and Federa 1 minerals under Federal surface administered by other Federal Agencies within the State of Kansas. The Kansas RMP and appendices provide direction and guidance to BLM Managers in the formulation of decisions effecting the management of Federal mineral estate within the planning area for the next 15 years. The Kansas RMP was extracted from the Proposed Kansas RMP/FIES. The issuance of this ROD and RMP completes the BLM land use planning process for the State of Kansas. We now move to implementation of the plan. We wish to thank all the individuals and groups who participated in this effort these past two years, without their help we could not have completed this process. er~ 1_' Area Manager Oklahoma Resource Area RECORD OF DECISION on the Proposed Kansas Resource Management Plan and Final Environmental Impact Statement September 1991 RECORD OF DECISION The decision is hereby made to approve the proposed decision as described in the Proposed Kansas Resource Management Plan/Final Env ironmental Impact Statement (RMP/FEIS July 1991), MANAGEMENT CONSZOERATXONS The decision to approve the Proposed Plan is based on: (1) the input received from the public, other Federal and state agencies; (2) the environmental analysis for the alternatives considered in the Draft RMP/Oraft EIS, as we11 as the Proposed Kansas RMP/FEIS. -

THE CLANTONS and MCLAURYS Like Many of Their Contemporaries, the Clantons Were a Missouri Family That Migrated to the West Following the American Civil War
TOMBSTONE PERSONALITIES THE CLANTONS and MCLAURYS Like many of their contemporaries, the Clantons were a Missouri family that migrated to the west following the American Civil War. In the 1870s Newman “Old Man” Clanton and his sons Phineas (Finn), Ike and William (Billy), relocated to Arizona and started a cattle ranch. By 1877 they operated the largest and most successful cattle ranch in the territory. They also were the epicenter of a large, unruly group of semi-organized criminals known to history as The Cowboys. Although not as organized and close knit as western myth has portrayed them, the Cowboys were a force to be reckoned with. The Clanton’s ranch was their unofficial headquarters and at one point or another, many of the Cowboys worked for the family. While the Clantons were primarily occupied with cattle rustling, other members of the gang robbed stagecoaches, banks and stores. The gang committed many of their crimes across the border in Mexico and Mexican authorities registered many official complaints with the United States, usually to no avail. The two most famous members of the Clanton family are Ike and Billy. Both were involved in the Gunfight at the OK corral, the bloody culmination of events that ended the feud between them and the Earps. The tensions between the two factions were a combination of political, economic and philosophical differences. The Clantons saw the Earps as interlopers who were trying to build their political careers at the expense of them and their Cowboy friends. Ike Clanton has been branded by legend as a blowhard and coward and history backs this up. -

Issue #73 Winter 2008 Lars Bloch Interview (Part 3) Legend of the Incas Buffalo Bill in Rome Frank Brana Interview Latest DVD Reviews
Issue #73 Winter 2008 Lars Bloch Interview (part 3) Legend of the Incas Buffalo Bill in Rome Frank Brana Interview Latest DVD reviews WAI! #73 THE SWINGIN’ DOORS Well summer is over and it’s time for the fall and winter seasons to begin. Life goes into hibernation as we sit around the TV set more and more during the colder weather. But wait, I just received a postcard from my old buddy Neil Summers who says he just received a call from Terence Hill and they will be filming a new western in Santa Fe, New Mexico starting October 9th. The new made for Italian TV film is called “Doc West” and features Hill as a former doctor who is now a traveling gambler trying to forget a botched operation on a small boy who he feels died by his hands. Also starring is Paul Sorvino as the town’s sheriff. So much for a nice quiet winter, we’ll keep you posted on all the developments as well as Neil’s updates. Always nice to see a Spaghetti western being made again and Neil says if this generates enough interest it will become a weekly series. We have a welcome article by Italian scholar Armando Rotondi concerning a true event wherein Buffalo Bill was challenged by the ‘Butteri” (Italian cowboys). These actual events became the basis for the rare 1949 film “Buffalo Bill in Rome” starring Enzo Fiermonte. I hope to have more of these types of documents and reviews in future issues. My good friend, researcher and writer, Tom Prickette, took the time to watch, translate from the German text and submit a review for the recently released German language KOCH Media DVD of “The Legend of the Incas”.
