Shubuta, Mississippi: Home of the Red Artesian Well
CHAPTER 1 Shubuta, Mississippi: Home of the Red Artesian Well Migration fever hit Shubuta, Mississippi, and its surrounding ar- eas in the beginning of the twentieth century and black families began traveling north to fi nd a better life. In fact, so many blacks began leaving Shubuta that the local paper, The Mississippi Mes- senger, published the article, “Negroes Should Remain in South,” on 5 September 1919.1 The article stated that blacks were not treated poorly and good employment was available. “They [three black surveyors from Chicago] declare they can now recommend that Negroes come south to fi nd work; they assert they found no basis for the northern allegations that Mississippi would bear such a libelous epithet; they investigated farm labor conditions near a dozen cities and at the Archman convict farms; they discovered that Negroes could walk on the sidewalks of Mississippi cities without being lynched. .”2 Despite this article and these supposed adequate conditions, African Americans wanted to leave Shubuta because of poor employment opportunities, poor educational facili- ties, and discrimination. These migrants left home seeking a better life for themselves and their families. A large number of the black migrants who left the Shubuta area moved to Albany, New York, during the 1930s and 1940s when Louis W. Parson moved north in 9 © 2008 State University of New York Press, Albany 10 SOUTHERN LIFE, NORTHERN CITY 1927 and began returning by car to drive Mississippi blacks north. News of Albany spread by word of mouth, and blacks also left the area by train and bus. -

Chapter 3: Affected Environment
3. AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 3.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter of the Kemper County IGCC Project EIS presents information describing environmental and other resources that might potentially be affected by the proposed action or analyzed alternatives; it serves as a baseline from which the proposed project’s impacts are evaluated. This chapter describes the existing or baseline conditions of resources relative to the three major components of the proposed project: (1) the power plant, which is the component of the project that would be supported by the proposed action (funding and loan guarantee), and several offsite connected actions, including (2) the lignite surface mine, and (3) various linear facilities (pipelines and electric power lines). Environmental characteristics of the affected sites and rights-of-way, as well as their immediate surroundings, are described to levels of detail commensurate with importance of the issues or potential impacts. In most sections baseline conditions are described in detail. However, in some other sections, given the nature of some aspects of this project and the limited potential to impact some environmental resources, relatively brief information is provided to describe the existing environmental characteristics or baseline conditions. The information and data provided in this chapter were gathered during field surveys as well as drawn from literature reports, maps, databases, and other publicly available sources. Sources include specific, project- related environmental documents and permit applications that have previously been filed. The information is pre- sented in the following sections, which describe the physical, biological, environmental, socioeconomic, cultural, and aesthetic and other features and conditions of the project areas and their surroundings: • 3.2—Regional Setting and General Area • 3.11—Wetlands. -

The focus of this project was to determine the routes Gulf sturgeon take through the lower Pascagoula River which splits at river kilometer 23 into two distinct distributaries. Sampling for this project was conducted over 60 d in 11 months throughout a two year period with a total of 81 ,947 net-meter-hours. -

Phase 1 Total Maximum Daily Load for Nutrients (Organic Enrichment, Total Phosphorus, and Ammonia Toxicity)
FINAL REPORT June 2005 ID: 405063008 Phase 1 Total Maximum Daily Load For Nutrients (Organic Enrichment, Total Phosphorus, and Ammonia Toxicity) Chickasawhay River Pascagoula Basin Greene and Wayne Counties, Mississippi Prepared By Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality Office of Pollution Control TMDL/WLA Branch MDEQ PO Box 10385 Jackson, MS 39289-0385 (601) 961-5171 Hwww.deq.state.ms.us Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality Phase 1 TMDL for Nutrients Chickasawhay River FOREWORD This report has been prepared in accordance with the schedule contained within the federal consent decree dated December 22, 1998. The report contains one or more Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for water body segments found on Mississippi’s 1996 Section 303(d) List of Impaired Water bodies. Because of the accelerated schedule required by the consent decree, many of these TMDLs have been prepared out of sequence with the State’s rotating basin approach. The implementation of the TMDLs contained herein will be prioritized within Mississippi’s rotating basin approach. The amount and quality of the data on which this report is based are limited. As additional information becomes available, the TMDLs may be updated. Such additional information may include water quality and quantity data, changes in pollutant loadings, or changes in landuse within the watershed. In some cases, additional water quality data may indicate that no impairment exists. Conversion Factors To convert from To Multiply by To convert from To Multiply by mile2 acre 640.000 -
