The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed a Reconnaissance Study of the Watershed in 1997, which recommended management strategies, and began a 5-year scoping project in 1999. Also in 1997, the South Alabama Regional Planning Commission conducted initial stakeholder meetings to discuss management alternatives. In 1998, the Auburn University Marine Extension and Research Center was granted the task of developing a Dog River Watershed Management Plan, whose purpose is to reduce flooding and improve water quality in the Watershed while also serving as a model for action in other coastal watersheds. Stakeholders in a 1999 meeting developed ten goals for the plan. A steering committee met over the following twelve months to develop action strategies. The Dog River Watershed drains more than 90 square miles (61003.13 acres) within the City of Mobile and Mobile County, Alabama, and flows into the northwestern portion of Mobile Bay. The Dog River is a tidally influenced system that is 8 miles long, and receives drainage from 6 subbasins (Eslava Creek, Robinson Bayou, Moore Creek, Halls Mill Creek, Rabbit Creek, and Rattlesnake Bayou) and three other major tributaries (Montlimar Canal, Bolton Branch, and Alligator Bayou). The climate is subtropical, and the average annual rainfall for Mobile County is 64 inches.

    2019 Annual Report

    TEXT FROM THE PRESIDENT & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR On behalf of the Dog River Clearwater Revival (DRCR) Board of Directors and our contracted staff, we thank everyone who, for the past twenty-five years, shared their time and resources with DRCR. Celebrating a quarter-century of promoting, protecting and improving the water quality of and access to Dog River and its urban tributary creeks was a significant milestone in the organization’s history. Most notable in our 2019 anniversary year was the award of a $328K EPA/Gulf of Mexico Program grant for implantation of the Comprehensive Trash Abatement Program for the Dog River Watershed. Identified as a priority project in the Dog River Watershed Management Plan (WMP) released in 2018, the problem of litter in our waterways brought us together in partnership with the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program, Mobile Baykeeper and Partners for Environmental Progress in a plan to reduce litter in the river by fifty percent by the end of 2021. We’d also like to thank the City of Mobile, Council and Administration, for supporting the goals of the WMP and our EPA grant. Further, this project allowed DRCR to expand our part-time paid team to two with the addition of an assistant project director. As we enter 2020, we look forward to an exciting year. We’ll hosts more cleanups and other fun events like the spring Mudbottom Music Festival and the Great Drift Paddle along the Dog River Scenic Blueway, celebrating its tenth year. The fall will see another of our popular events celebrating its 10th anniversary – the Dog River Fishing Tournament and of course don’t miss the one time a year opportunity to run/walk across the iconic Dog River Bridge during our annual Ghost Chase 5K & 1-mile Goblin Gallop.

He is survived by his sister, Madge Lane Cooke. Cooke was born in Baltimore, Maryland, July 20, 1887. He was a bachelor. He received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Johns Hopkins University in 1908 and Ph.D. (in geology) in 1912. From 1911 to 1912 he was a Fellow at the university. In July 1910, while a grad­ uate student, he received an appointment as Junior Geologist for summer work in the U.S. Geological Survey, beginning his long career in that organization. In the U.S. Geological Survey, he was Assistant Geologist, 1913 to 1917; Paleontologist, 1917 to 1919; Associate Geologist, 1919 to 1920; Geologist, 1920 to 1928; Scientist, 1928 to 1941; Senior Scientist, 1941 to 1951; andGeologist-Stratigrapher-Paleontologist, 1952 to 1956.

He was geologist in the Dominican Republic for the Geological Survey in 1919 and worked for the Tropical Oil Company, Colombia, South America, in 1920. After completing his 40 years of service in the U.S. Geological Survey, Cooke retired on November 30,1956. Also in 1956 he received the Meritorious Service Award of the Interior Department in recognition of his outstanding service. That citation in 1956 states: His scientific work lias been concerned with the paleontology, stratigraphy, and landforms (geomorphology) of the Coastal Plain, extending from New Jersey to Mississippi.

During his career, he designed a variety of structures in the Mobile area. Like his mother, Henrietta Homer Hutchisson, he was interested in the genealogy of the Homer family and he and his mother gathered information about several of his bloodlines. Much of this genealogical correspondence took place with his cousin Annie Homer Wilson and pertains to the Homer family in Nova Scotia, Canada. Hutchisson died in December 1993. Scope and Contents: This collection contains etching plates, news clippings, a scrapbook, and the business stamp of Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr. In addition, the collection is made up of a wide selection of correspondence, both business and private, contracts, building specifications, blueprints, and other related architectural documents.

    River Rally 2016 A Production of River Network www.riverrally.org May 20-23, 2016 Mobile, Alabama River Rally, ‘Bama Style January 2016 Dear friends and colleagues, We are excited to invite you to join us in Mobile, Alabama for this year’s River Rally. Every year, we work hard to put together a program that delivers rich content, engaging speakers, and great field trips in an open and supportive atmosphere conducive to connecting with old colleagues and making new friends. This year’s program is particularly special. We begin on Friday (May 20) with an Earth honoring ceremony and opening reception and close with the River Heroes Banquet and live music on Monday night (May 23). In between, you’ll be kept busy with over 80 learning opportunities including plenaries designed to challenge your thinking, field trips to experience the unexpected at local rivers and swamps, movies that take you on a journey, and even a fun run in honor of World Fish Migration Day. We promise you that this year’s Rally will be worth the trip. For those of you who don’t know much about Mobile, or wonder why River Rally would be in such a hard place to get to, keep in mind that the Mobile River Basin, and Alabama generally, is a global hotspot for freshwater biodiversity. There is no other place with as many species of freshwater fish, mussels, snails, turtles and crawfish. It is our Amazon. To have the opportunity to explore this place first-hand is the chance of a lifetime.
