Mandel (Chair) ______________________ Dr. Jack L. Hofman ______________________ Dr. Xingong Li Date Approved_____________________ ABSTRACT In this study, a geoarchaeological approach was used to assess the potential for buried and surficial prehistoric cultural resources in the upper Neosho River basin of east-central Kansas. Specifically, lithostratigraphy (e.g. the DeForest Formation) and digital Soil Survey data (SSURGO) were used to estimate the relative ages of landform sediment assemblages (LSAs) in the study area. Surface-soil morphology was selected as a key indicator for predicting where the different members of the DeForest Formation occur, thereby providing estimated relative ages for LSAs. Field-truthing this hypothetical relationship between surface soils and members of the DeForest Formation included stratigraphic and geomorphic investigations. Numerical ages of alluvial deposits and associated buried soils were determined by radiocarbon dating. Some problems were encountered. For example, mapping late-Holocene members of the DeForest Formation is problematic based on SSURGO distributions because the data oversimplify the floodplain. Also, SSURGO data do not systematically or consistently map specific soils on alluvial/colluvial fans. Nevertheless, the results of this study suggest that surface soils are reliable indicators of the relative ages of early and middle Holocene LSAs, thereby providing archaeologists with a powerful tool for locating Paleoindian and Archaic cultural deposits in complex alluvial settings. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The University of Kansas Odyssey Research Fund provided the majority of funding for this study. Support for this investigation was also provided by the Kansas Geological Survey, the Archaeological Research Center at the University of Kansas, the U.S. Department of the Fish and Wildlife Services, and the Carlyle Smith and Carroll Clark Research Grants.

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.

  • Final Copy of 4 Mussels Recovery Plan
    Recovery plan for freshwater mussels in southeast Kansas PREFACE The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) is required to develop recovery plans for all state-listed threatened and endangered species under the authority of K.S.A. 32- 960(a). The concept of developing state recovery plans for Kansas' endangered, threatened, and SINC species (species in need of conservation) was conceived by the Kansas Nongame and Endangered Species Task Force, which was created by passage of substitute Senate bill No. 473 during the 1996 Legislative Session. The Task Force, which consisted of 17 members1, met six times during the summer and fall of 1996. Issues and concerns addressed by the Task Force included listing procedures for endangered, threatened, and SINC species, incentives for affected property owners, recovery and conservation plans, and funding. After receiving the Task Force's report, the 1997 legislature enacted into law the Task Force’s recommendations by amending existing state laws and by enacting new laws (H.B. No. 2361). As part of that legislation, KDWP was required to implement several of the measures through regulation. Regulatory language addressing these measures was drafted by Department staff and presented to the KDWP Commission and the public. These recommendations were approved by the Commission in the fall of 1997. A new regulation, K.A.R. 115-15-4, outlined procedures to establish recovery plans 2. These procedures included the appointment of an advisory group to evaluate recovery plan development priority. The advisory group determined that the highest priority was the immediate development of a joint recovery plan for four threatened and endangered mussel species that occur in southeast Kansas.

The intent of design and construction was to provide flood control, water conservation, recreation, and water supply for communities along the Neosho River in southeastern Kansas. The John Redmond Project is also operated for wildlife purposes. Up to the time of construction the Neosho River had flooded 57 times in 34 years of recorded history. The project was renamed John Redmond Dam and Reservoir by an act of congress in 1958, to posthumously honor John Redmond, publisher of the Burlington Daily Republican newspaper, and one of the first to champion the need for flood control and water conservation along the Neosho River. Dam construction by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) was undertaken between 1959 and 1964, at a site west of Burlington, Kansas. Water storage began during September 1964, collecting drainage from an approximately 3,015-square mile drainage basin.

  • U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Hazard Mitigation Actions in Relation to State Hazard Mitigation Plans Kansas and Missouri - 2013
    U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Hazard Mitigation Actions in Relation to State Hazard Mitigation Plans Kansas and Missouri - 2013 INTRODUCTION The overlapping responsibilities for many natural hazards that are shared by multiple state and federal agencies, especially flooding, can be challenging to clearly understand. Complicating this, many agencies have different divisions, districts, communities of practice and stovepipes that could interact better. The stovepipes make us blind. Federal agencies can better communicate their actions aimed at reducing risks from natural hazards. This document seeks to meet this aim. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has districts, usually setup by watershed boundaries (see figure below), and this is completely different than the states and FEMA regions. In addition, the NOAA National Weather Service and U.S. Geological Survey all have areas of responsibility that differ. The counties and local hazard mitigation plans also need help understanding how the broader efforts of federal agencies may translate down to the local level. Figure 1. The states, counties, and USACE districts in and surrounding Kansas and Missouri. The USACE Kansas City District is charged with leading coordination for USACE in Kansas and Missouri. Under the USACE Silver Jackets Program, the district has prepared the summary paragraphs herein that will strongly enhance the state hazard mitigation plan (SHMP) section on flooding, including sections on levees and dams, drought, and some other hazards. The development and delivery has been coordinated by the Kansas City District Silver Jackets Coordinator, the lead for Kansas and Missouri. This coordination was done internally with the various districts’ programs to better inform the states’ • Risk assessments and • Actions supporting hazard mitigation.
