Resources Plan County Water Management Planning 1.0 Summary of County Water Management Plans 1.1 Introduction During the drought of 1988, several communities throughout Kentucky experienced difficulties in providing adequate supplies of potable water to their citizens. In response to this emergency situation, Governor Wallace Wilkinson issued an Executive Order to create a Water Supply Task Force. In 1989, the task force released its recommendations, one of which was a requirement for water suppliers to develop Water Supply Plans. In 1990, the General Assembly passed KRS151.114-.118, mandating that long-range County Water Supply Plans be developed by July 15, 1998. Kentucky Administrative Regulations (401 KAR 4:220) outlined the content of the long-range plans. County Water Supply Plans were subsequently developed for every county in the state by the Area Development Districts, members of the different Water Supply Planning Councils, and the elected and appointed officials of each county. In 2000, KRS 151:601 directed the formation of county or planning area water management councils, superseding the former water supply planning councils. In KRS 151 :603, the management councils were charged with developing and implementing plans for reliable potable water and wastewater treatment services for un-served or under-served areas of the state. The newly formed councils identified water management areas where water and wastewater services could be most effectively addressed through coordinated efforts, such as through merged facilities or shared resources. The water coordinator for each planning area is responsible for compiling the council's findings into a water management plan. These plans are to be updated annually, and are due by July 1 of each year according to KRS 151:607. The first such management plan was to have been submitted electronically to the Kentucky Division of Water as of December 31, 2002. For this

  • Executive Summary
    Bass Tournament Results 2008 Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Participation in the Tournament Reporting Program totaled 308 black bass fishing tournaments in 2008. This was an increase over the 284 reported tournaments in 2007 and a new high total since the program started in 1999. For other years, the total number of reported black bass fishing tournaments ranged from anywhere between 110 in 1999 to 278 in 2002. Catch data statistics were obtained from 58% of all registered tournaments in 2008. This was also an increase from the 52% observed in 2007. Black bass tournament information was obtained from 14 different large reservoirs (> 1000 acres), 11 small lakes (< 1000 acres), and the Ohio, Cumberland and Kentucky rivers. The vast majority of black bass tournaments in 2008 reported using both creel limits and size limits during their tournaments. Most tournaments followed the regulations set for the specific water body that was fished, although some enforced more stringent regulations. Creel limits of 5 or 6-fish were used by 97.7% of all black bass tournaments; however, 1.3% reported using a creel limit of only 1-fish. Size limits most commonly used in tournaments were a 12-inch or 15-inch minimum size limit. The percentage of bass anglers who reported catching a limit during a tournament increased from 11.9% in 2007 to 16.2% in 2008. This was back on track with 2006 where 16.5% of tournament anglers caught their limit. The average length of a bass fishing tournament was 8.5 hours in 2008.

    Appendix A Regulatory Requirements All Silvicultural Operations, 401 KAR 5:026, 5:029, 5:030, and 5:031 All operations must meet Kentucky water quality standards. Activities Near High-quality Waters and Outstand- ing National Resources Waters, 401 KAR 5:029, 5:030, and 5:031. Kentucky water quality standards (401 KAR 5:029) require the use of BMPs to protect high-quality waters and outstanding national resources waters listed in 401 KAR 5:030. In addition, outstanding resource wa- ters that support federally listed threatened and endan- gered species require protection (see 401 KAR 5:031). Activities Near Wild Rivers, KRS 146.200 et seq. and 401 KAR 4:100-140. The Kentucky Wild Rivers Act and associated regulations give special protection to streams designated as “wild rivers,” including regulation of sil- vicultural activity. Before undertaking any silvicultural activity in a corridor of a designated wild river, the land- owner or logger should contact the Wild Rivers Program of the Kentucky Division of Water for applicable regula- tions and instructions. Debris in Floodplains, KRS 151.250. The Kentucky Division of Water has authority over the placement of debris (including logging slash) in floodplains of peren- nial streams that have a drainage area larger than one- square mile. The Division of Water advises that as long as the BMPs for Streamside Management Zones and log- ging debris are followed, landowners and loggers will be considered in compliance with floodplain regulations that address debris. If these BMPs are not followed, the Ken- tucky Division of Water can institute enforcement pro- ceedings.
