  • TAUM SAUK AREA THREATENED by HYDRO PLANT by Susan Flader

    TAUM SAUK AREA THREATENED by HYDRO PLANT by Susan Flader

    (This article was first published in Heritage, the Newsletter of the Missouri Parks Association, August 2001) TAUM SAUK AREA THREATENED BY HYDRO PLANT by Susan Flader When state park officials selected a cover photo to illustrate their first-ever assessment of "threats to the parks" nearly a decade ago, they chose not a scene of despoliation but a symbolic representation of the best of what they were seeking to protect. It was a vista at the core of the Ozarks, looking from the state's grandest waterfall near its tallest peak across its deepest valley into the heart of Taum Sauk Mountain State Park, Missouri's then-newest public park but also its geologically oldest, wildest, most intact, and most ecologically diverse landscape. Scarcely could one imagine that the very symbol of what they were seeking to protect through their threats study, titled "Challenge of the '90s," would itself become the most seriously threatened landscape in Missouri at the dawn of the new millennium. The photo showed two forest-blanketed, time-gentled igneous knobs in the heart of the St. Francois Mountains, on the left Smoke Hill, recently acquired by the state, and on the right Church Mountain, leased to the Department of Natural Resources for park trail development by Union Electric Company of St. Louis (now AmerenUE). But on June 8, the Ameren Development Company, a subsidiary of Ameren Corporation, filed an application for a preliminary permit with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for the Church Mountain Pumped Storage Project. It would consist of a 130-acre reservoir ringed by a 12,350-foot-long, 90-foot-high dam on the top of Church Mountain, a lower reservoir of 400 acres formed by a 1,900-foot-long, 100-foot high dam flooding several miles of Taum Sauk Creek, which has been designated a State Outstanding Resource Water, and associated tunnels, powerhouse, transmission lines, roads, and related facilities.

  • Chapter III Affected Environment/Consequences

    Chapter III Affected Environment/Consequences

    III-1 Chapter III Affected Environment/Consequences This chapter provides a description of the existing social, economic and natural environmental characteristics present in SIU 6. This inventory serves as a baseline for assessing the possible impacts of the proposed actions. In addition, this chapter describes the potential environmental consequences of the No-Build and Build Alternatives described in Chapter II. A. Social and Economic Setting Social and economic data were collected for both Montgomery and Callaway Counties to provide insight into the study corridor population. Such insights may reveal populations that are at risk for impacts by the proposed action and allow comparisons among different population groups both within and outside the study corridor. Data were collected from the 1990 and 2000 United States Census of Population and Housing to establish current conditions and to determine population characteristic trends. 1. Demographic Conditions a. Population According to the 2000 U.S. Census, Callaway County has a population of 40,766. This represents a 24 percent increase from the 1990 population of 32,809. Nearly 30 percent (12,128) of the county’s residents live in Fulton, located about 15 miles south of Kingdom City. Callaway County is one of the largest counties in the state, consisting of 839 square miles. Population density in the county is 48.6 persons per square mile. The county is approximately 52 percent male and 48 percent female, while 92 percent of the inhabitants are white. The median age in Callaway County is 34.7 years old and 74.6 percent of the population is over 18 years old.

  • Northern Saw-Whet Owl Confirmed As a Regular Visitor to Central Missouri!

    Northern Saw-Whet Owl Confirmed As a Regular Visitor to Central Missouri!

    Message from the Fundraising Chair Dear Members and Friends of MRBO, It has been just a few short months since the launch of the Missouri River Bird Observatory member- ship drive and our mission to further awareness of the need for conservation. This has been a most rewarding Dana Ripper experience for many of us thus far. As we opened the Director world of MRBO to others through fundraising pro- grams, we ourselves have discovered the true meaning of the “fun” in fundraising. Ethan Duke On the project end of things, both students and Assistant Director teachers at elementary schools throughout the area were overjoyed with the programs that Dana and Ethan pre- Board of Directors sented this fall. There were many small groups but also large ones like the 150 second-graders in Centralia and the 180 elementary students from Fort Zumwalt School District who visited the MRBO Jim Niemann station in the Busch Conservation Area. As you browse through the photos in this issue Chairman you, too can share the wonderment of children discovering nature through the beauty of a very small creature. Seth Gallagher One of the projects that I found most interesting, and which you can read more Vice-Chair about in a following article, is the Northern Saw-whet Owl project. These tiny owls are adorable and so “cuddly”. To hold one and just rub its little neck while it looks at you with those big eyes … this is truly another of nature’s little miracles. Huge thanks goes Lynn Schaffer to the Indian Foothills Park staff for letting MRBO use their office for the nightly owl Secretary banding as well as for the two months of song bird fall migration monitoring.
