The majority of the R. 7 E. R. 8 E. R. 6 E.

  • E.3-IDNR Roster of Navigable Waterways in Indiana
    APPENDIX E.3 IDNR Roster of Navigable Waterways in Indiana Nonrule Policy Documents NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION Information Bulletin #3 July 1, 1992 SUBJECT: Roster of Indiana Waterways Declared Navigable I. NAVIGABILITY Property rights relative to Indiana waterways often are determined by whether the waterway is "navigable". Both common law and statutory law make distinctions founded upon whether a river, stream, embayment, or lake is navigable. A landmark decision in Indiana with respect to determining and applying navigability is State v. Kivett, 228 Ind. 629, 95 N.E.2d 148 (1950). The Indiana Supreme Court stated that the test for determining navigability is whether a waterway: was available and susceptible for navigation according to the general rules of river transportation at the time [1816] Indiana was admitted to the Union. It does not depend on whether it is now navigable. .The true test seems to be the capacity of the stream, rather than the manner or extent of use. And the mere fact that the presence of sandbars or driftwood or stone, or other objects, which at times render the stream unfit for transportation, does not destroy its actual capacity and susceptibility for that use. A modified standard for determining navigability applies to a body of water which is artificial. The test for a man-made reservoir, or a similar waterway which did not exist in 1816, is whether it is navigable in fact. Reed v. United States, 604 F. Supp. 1253 (1984). The court observed in Kivett that "whether the waters within the State under which the lands lie are navigable or non-navigable, is a federal" question and is "determined according to the law and usage recognized and applied in the federal courts, even though" the waterway may not be "capable of use for navigation in interstate or foreign commerce." Federal decisions applied to particular issues of navigability are useful precedents, regardless of whether the decisions originated in Indiana or another state.

  • Unconsolidated Aquifer Systems of Hancock County, Indiana
    Unconsolidated Aquifer Systems of Hancock County, Indiana by Glenn E. Grove Division of Water, Resource Assessment Section November 2005 Three unconsolidated aquifer systems have been mapped in Hancock County: the New Castle Till; the White River and Tributaries Outwash Subsystem; and the New Castle Complex. All three systems comprise sediments deposited by, or resulting from, glaciers, glacial meltwaters, and post-glacial precipitation events. Boundaries of these aquifer systems are commonly gradational and individual aquifers may extend across aquifer system boundaries. However, a relatively distinct boundary occurs where the White River Outwash and Tributaries Subsystem abuts the relatively steep valley walls of the Big Blue River. Outside of the valley of the Big Blue River, nearly the entire county has more than 100 feet of unconsolidated materials overlying the bedrock. Unconsolidated deposits are especially thick in the eastern third of the county where the sediments are commonly greater than 200 feet and in places (north of Cumberland) greater than 300 feet thick. However, in the Big Blue River valley there are a few areas where the unconsolidated deposits are less than 50 feet in thickness. Most unconsolidated deposits contain some sand or gravel and only a few dry holes have been reported in Hancock County. All the aquifer systems are typically capable of supplying domestic wells. The New Castle Till Aquifer System and the New Castle Complex Aquifer System are, in most places, capable of producing high-capacity wells. There are areas in the New Castle Complex where sand and gravel deposits are of sufficient thickness and extent to constitute major ground-water resources capable of supplying large municipal, industrial, and irrigation needs.

  • Fishes of the White River Basin, Indiana
    FISHES OF THE WHITE RIVER BASIN, U INDIANA G U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Since 1875, researchers have reported 158 species of fish belonging to 25 families in the White River Basin. Of these species, 6 have not been reported since 1900 and 10 have not been reported since 1943. Since the 1820's, fish communities in the White River Basin have been affected by the alteration of stream habitat, overfishing, the introduction of non-native species, agriculture, and urbanization. Erosion resulting from conversion of forest land to cropland in the 1800's led to siltation of streambeds and resulted in the loss of some silt- sensitive species. In the early 1900's, the water quality of the White River was seriously degraded for 100 miles by untreated sewage from the City of Indianapolis. During the last 25 years, water quality in the basin has improved because of efforts to control water pollu­ tion. Fish communities in the basin have responded favorably to the improved water quality. INTRODUCTION In 1991, the U.S. Geological Survey began the National Water- Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program. The long-term goals of the NAWQA Program are to describe the status and trends in the quality of a large, representative part of the Nation's surface- and ground-water resources and to provide a sound, scientific understanding of the pri­ mary natural and human factors affecting the quality of these resources (Hirsch and others, 1988). The White River Basin in Indiana was among the first 20 river basins to be studied as part of this program.

  • Hancock County Trails Plan 7-18 Table of Contents
    FINAL REPORT November 5, 2018 PREPARED BY: BUTLER, FAIRMAN & SEUFERT, INC. & HEALTH BY DESIGN 7-16 LETTER OF INTRODUCTION Butler Fairman & Seufert, Inc. (BF&S) and Health By Design (HbD) are pleased to present the Hancock County Trails Master Plan to the citizens and administrators of Hancock County, Indiana, and the municipalities of Cumberland, Fortville, Greenfield, McCordsville, New Palestine, Shirley, and Wilkinson. This report is the product of a collaborative effort by the Executive Committee, BF&S design professionals, HbD design professionals, the Steering Committee, local merchants and members of the Hancock County community. It is intended to serve as a guide for future alternative transportation and recreational development within Hancock County. Each bicycle facility route, pedestrian improvement, program recommendation, and policy recommendation was thoroughly researched. Decisions were based on a process that consisted of a county-wide inventory and analysis process, design synthesis, public input, and development of design standards before ultimately reaching the master plan stage. The resulting recommendations are the best solutions to initiating a county-wide bicycle and pedestrian network. The plan is intended to be a “living document” and will serve as a long lasting foundation for future alternative transportation development BF&S and HbD are very appreciative to have been able to assist Hancock County in this planning effort and we look forward to the implementation of these recommendations. Respectfully submitted on the 28th day of August, 2018, Butler, Fairman, & Seufert, Inc. Alan L. Hamersly, P.E. Jason G. Griffin, P.L.A.
