Little is known regarding the effect of anthropogenic isolating mechanisms (stream alteration, habitat fragmentation, or dams) on levels of genetic diversity or structure. Conservation needs for this species include assessing levels of fine-scale genetic structure at the state-level and determining the number of discrete genetic groupings, genetic diversity, and effective population size (Ne) across Pennsylvania watersheds of the Allegheny, and Western Branch of the Susquehanna Rivers. These watersheds are located within the core of the Eastern Hellbender range and represent one of the few stable locations in the country. We examined the landscape genetics of 13 distinct stream reaches, represented by 284 Eastern Hellbenders, using both spatial and non-spatial Bayesian genetic approaches. Pennsylvania populations of Eastern Hellbenders are characterized by significant genetic structure that is partitioned among dendritic river drainages. Bayesian clustering analysis inferred four discrete genetic clusters (three within the Allegheny River drainage and one within the Susquehanna River drainage).

January, 2014. i Institute for Water Resources–Responses to Climate Change Program Ohio River Basin Pilot Study i Institute for Water Resources–Responses to Climate Change Program Ohio River Basin Pilot Study Ohio River Basin Climate Change Pilot Study Report ABSTRACT The Huntington District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in collaboration with the Ohio River Basin Alliance, the Institute for Water Resources, the Great Lakes and Ohio River Division, and numerous other Federal agencies, non-governmental organizations, research institutions, and academic institutions, has prepared the Ohio River Basin Climate Change Pilot Report. Sponsored and supported by the Institute for Water Resources through its Responses to Climate Change program, this report encapsulates the research of numerous professionals in climatology, meteorology, biology, ecology, geology, hydrology, geographic information technology, engineering, water resources planning, economics, and landscape architecture. The report provides downscaled climate modeling information for the entire basin with forecasts of future precipitation and temperature changes as well as forecasts of future streamflow at numerous gaging points throughout the basin. These forecasts are presented at the Hydrologic Unit Code-4 sub-basin level through three 30-year time periods between 2011 and 2099. The report includes the results of preliminary investigations into the various impacts that forecasted climate changes may have on both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and operating water resources infrastructure.

  • The Politics of Pittsburgh Flood Control, 1908–1936
    THE POLITICS OF PITTSBURGH FLOOD CONTROL, 1936-1960 BY ROLAND M. SMITH* I. INTRODUCTION A N ANALYSIS of the Pittsburgh flood control movement from Aits inception in 1908 until 1960 provides insight into the changing dynamics of two sets of historic and antithetical forces at work within the American political system. The first set of forces, operating through the system of checks and balances and the frag- mentation of authority inherent in our governmental structure, tends to diffuse the decision-making process throughout the system. On the other hand, another set of forces, often operating outside the formally established governmental structure through voluntary organizations such as political parties, political machines, and pressure groups, works to centralize the decision-making process. At the community level, this process of centralized decision-making often occurs when the elite decision-makers of the community decide to act together to accomplish various goals they have agreed upon for the community. During the first phase of the Pittsburgh flood control move- ment' (1908 to 1936) an elite group of local business and professional men organized an aggressive, unified coalition of civic forces to fight for flood control and other environmental reforms. Cosmopolitan in outlook, this group represented the aspirations of the larger indus- trial and commercial interests of the city and acted through a host of voluntary organizations to accomplish reforms it had agreed upon for the community. At the national level this elite identified with *The author is an Assistant Professor in the Department of History And Philosophy at Carnegie-Mellon University.

    Kiski-Conemaugh River Water Trail Map & Guide Water trails are recreational waterways on a lake, river, or ocean between specific points, containing access points and day-use and/or camping sites for the boating public. Water trails emphasize low-impact use and promote stewardship of the resources. Explore this unique Pennsylvania water trail. For your safety and enjoyment: • Always wear a life jacket. • Obtain proper instruction in boating skills. • Know fishing and boating regulations. • Be prepared for river hazards. • Carry proper equipment. FLOATING THE RIVER FISHING THE KISKI-CONEMAUGH RIVER BASIN The Kiski-Conemaugh is a good novice and family canoe and kayak river. Float speed is approximately 2 to 3 miles per hour with The entire Kiski-Conemaugh River basin is recovering from years leisurely paddling.

The Dam/Loyalhanna Outflow information for the lower Conemaugh and lower stretches (from Apollo downstream) are producing walleyes, Kiskiminetas rivers. Inexperienced and novice canoeists should take sauger, and a wider variety of fish. Anglers will also find local precautions on the Johnstown-to-Seward section due in part to its pockets of trout where clean streams (stocked) meet the main stem. length and the rapids at Findley Run, which can be portaged.
