Box 248 Sullivan, MO 63080 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Project Overview The overall purpose of the Meramec River Watershed Demonstration Project is to bring together relevant information about the Meramec River basin and evaluate the status of the stream, watershed, and wetland resource base. The project has three primary objectives, which have been met. The objectives are: 1) Prepare an inventory of the Meramec River basin to provide background information about past and present conditions. 2) Facilitate the reduction of riparian wetland losses through identification of priority areas for protection and management. 3) Identify potential partners and programs to assist citizens in selecting approaches to the management of the Meramec River system. These objectives are dealt with in the following sections titled Inventory, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Analyses, and Action Plan. Inventory The Meramec River basin is located in east central Missouri in Crawford, Dent, Franklin, Iron, Jefferson, Phelps, Reynolds, St. Louis, Texas, and Washington counties. Found in the northeast corner of the Ozark Highlands, the Meramec River and its tributaries drain 2,149 square miles.

The Missouri cobble and small boulder substrates with low embeddedness Glyphospsyche Caddisfly, Glyphospsyche missouri, (Critically near the Maramec Spring Branch banks.

However, little is known about distribution, life history, substrate embeddedness measurements from two locations, environmental requirements, or tolerance to environmental one where the caddisfly specimens were found and one where stress of either species.

In the next pages many rivers are described, both in general and by specific sections. You will also find within this section a compilation of many public outfitters, which regularly provide all necessary equipment for a canoe trip. The river sections that are profiled are probably not the exact sections of river that you will float if you rent your canoes and equipment form an outfitter. Each outfitter has “normal” floats that you may choose from, and few, if any, of these floats will match with the sections profiled in On The Loose, or with the sections any other outfitter would float! After spending some time with the River Section of On The Loose, I feel that you will agree there are many more rivers, which can be floated than the ones commonly mentioned (i.e.
