Tombigbee River and Tributaries, Luxapalila Creek Segment, Alabama and Mississippi FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT. TOMBIGBEE RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES LUXAPALILA CREEK SEGMENT, ALABAMA AND MISSISSIPPI Prepared by U. S. Army Engineer District, Mobile , December 1974. SUMMARY Tombigbee River and Tributaries, Luxapalila Creek Segment, Alabama and Mississippi □ Draft Final Environmental Statement Responsible Office: District Engineer, U. S. Army Engineer District, P. 0. Box 2288, Mobile, Alabama 36628, 205-690-2511 1. Name of Action: Administrative £ J Legislative 2. Description of Action: The proposed flood control work on Luxapalila Creek analyzed in this environmental statement involves channel excavation and the clearing of the banks along a total of 19.9 miles of Luxapalila Creek beginning at the mouth, representing a reduction of 6.3 miles in the natural channel mileage of 26.2. Work on the lowermost 2.1 miles has already been completed. The lower 15.2 miles of construction would be in Lowndes County, Mississippi, and the upper 4.7 miles in Lamar County, Alabama. A total of 1,258 acres would be cleared, which would consist of the removal of all growth except selected trees, from a strip 300 feet to 900 feet in width. All snags, drift, and other debris would also be removed from the channel. The work consists of 6.6 miles of new channel and 13.3 miles of channel enlargement. The excavated material would be placed in mounds intermittently along both banks of the modified channel at least 25 feet from the top of the cut slope. No excavated material would be placed across the mouths of tributary streams entering the channel, and frequent gaps would be left in the mounds to provide for lateral drainage and prevent local ponding along the stream. The mounds would be grassed to guard against erosion. Three floodways, consisting of a total length of approximately 11,650 feet, would be included as fish and wildlife mitigation measures. This statement also discusses authorized projects on other tributary streams and the Tombigbee River in the upper Tombigbee Basin because of possible interrelated impacts. 3. a Environmental Impacts: The proposed action will provide flood control resulting in reduced damage to the Columbus, Mississippi, urban area and agricultural lands upstream from Columbus. There will be a loss in habitat for certain species of animals and plants with a corresponding increase in habitat for others. A total of 1,258 acres will be cleared. A small temporary increase in turbidity may be expected. The overall impact on the fishery will be detrimental. b. Adverse Environmental Effects: Loss of 1,258 acres of stream bank habitat for wildlife use initially, and indefinitely with maintenance of the project; loss of 19.9 miles of natural aquatic habitat along the stream; loss of aesthetic value for natural setting; loss as recreational resource; loss of 3,500 man-days per year of fishing; reduction in the present capacity for 350 man-days of waterfowl hunting and 6,500 man-days of small game hunting; reduction of $500 per year for trapping industry; slight reduc­ tion in water quality; probable loss of a walleye population in Luxapalila Creek; and destruction of archeological sites in the lower 2.1 miles of the project completed in October 1973. 4. Alternatives; Alternative channel dimensions, headwater reservoirs, levee construction, complete system of floodways, and no-development and/or restriction of development within the flood plain. 5.

This document is the environmental statement (required by Public Law 91-190) for the Luxapalila Creek Segment of the Tombigbee River and Tributaries, Mississippi and Alabama, project described in House Document 167, Eighty-fourth Congress, regarding construction and operation of the project for flood control and related purposes. This project was authorized in the Flood Control Act approved 3 July 1958 (Public Law 85-500). Feasibility and project formulation information are described in detail in the survey report. The most complete economic analysis of the overall project (May 1955), based on a 50-year project life, produced an overall benefit-cost ratio of 2 to 1 with benefits de­ rived from flood control protection through flood damage prevention and land enhancement. Land enhancement refers to the ability to convert land, which is periodically flooded, from present low value uses into more intensive uses. 1.02 Overall Project. The

Fobian Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries PROJECT Reproductive Characteristics and Host Fish Determination of Canoe Creek Clubshell, Pleurobema athearni (Gangloff et al. 2006) in the Big Canoe Creek drainage (Etowah and St. Clair Counties), Alabama Year 1 Interim Report State: Alabama Introduction Pleurobema athearni (Gangloff et al, 2006), Canoe Creek Clubshell is currently a candidate for federally threatened/endangered status by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). It is Coosa Basin endemic, with historical records only known from the Big Canoe Creek (BCC) system in Alabama (Gangloff et al. 2006, Williams et al. 2008). Recent surveys completed by ADCNR and USFWS established the species is extant at six localities in the basin, with two in Upper Little Canoe Creek (ULCC), one in Lower Little Canoe Creek (LLCC), and three in BCC proper. (Fobian et al. 2017). As culture methods improve, propagated P. athearni juveniles could soon be available to support reintroduction/augmentation efforts within historical range. Little is known about Pleurobema athearni reproduction, female brooding period, or glochidial hosts. Female P. athearni are presumed short term-brooders and likely gravid from late spring to early summer (Gangloff et al. 2006, Williams et al. 2008). Glochidial hosts are currently unknown although other Mobile River Basin Pleurobema species often utilize Cyprinidae (shiners) to complete metamorphosis (Haag and Warren 1997, 2003, Weaver et al.

Troops are encouraged to construct gateways to their campsites. The Hawk Campsite is a HANDICAPPED ONLY site, if you do not have a scout or leader that is handicapped that site will not be available. There are four troop / campsites; each campsite has a latrine, picnic table and fire ring. Water may be obtained at spigots near the pavilion. Garbage is disposed of at the Tannehill trash dumpster. Each unit is responsible for providing its trash bags and taking garbage to the trash dumpster. The campsites have a number and a name.
