Columbia requests authorization to construct and operate facilities in Vinton, Jackson, Gallia, and Lawrence Counties, Ohio and Wayne County, West Virginia. The Buckeye XPress Project would increase the firm natural gas transportation capacity on Columbia’s system by 275 million cubic feet per day. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the Buckeye XPress Project in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Forest Service participated as cooperating agencies in the preparation of the EA. Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to resources potentially affected by the proposal and participate in the NEPA analysis.

  • Annotated Bibliography of Ohio Ornithology
    Annotated Bibliography of Ohio Ornithology Bird records and studies from Ohio Copyright © 2017 Bill Whan Updated 18 November 2017 Below are references, some briefly annotated as underlined text where helpful, to published works on the ornithology of Ohio. Not covered are works not specific to Ohio, or publications concerning game propagation and introductions of alien species. Out-of-print volumes mentioned are on the shelves of good libraries, and increasingly on the Web. Key words (for example, localities, authors, English names of species) may be searched here. Every effort has been made to include all pertinent sources, but such a bibliography must remain a work in progress. The compiler would be grateful to hear from readers who have corrections or additional entries to suggest. After my labors thus far I am moved to offer my profound gratitude to bibliographers of the past, as well as to librarians of the present. This document incorporates bibliographic entries from Gerrick 1968, which in turn incorporates those of Osborn 1930. Users of this list will welcome the news that SORA has been been made available to the public at http://elibrary.unm.edu/sora/ by the University of New Mexico library; this searchable site offers downloadable copies of older back issues of the Auk, the Wilson Bulletin, and more than ten other important ornithological journals. The Ohio Naturalist and its successor the Ohio Journal of Science are also on line at https://kb.osu.edu/dspace/handle/1811/686 . The various natural history society journals of Cincinnati are on-line at http://library.cincymuseum.org/journals.htm , and past issues of the Cleveland Bird Calendar may be read at http://www.clevelandbirdcalendar.com/cbcarchives.htm .
