Point I – The trial court erred in finding DNR’s acquisition and ................. 10 possession for state park purposes of land subject to a conservation easement was arbitrary and capricious, because the trial court impermissibly substituted its own discretion in place of DNR’s discretion, in that under Chapter 253, RSMo., Missouri law vests DNR with the exclusive authority to determine whether land is suitable for a park purpose. II. Point II – The trial court erred in finding DNR’s authority to ...................... 12 purchase and use land for a park purpose conflicts with the terms of a conservation easement that restricts public access to portions of that land, because a park and a conservation easement serve complimentary purposes in that park purposes include preservation and restoration of park land which are consistent with the terms of the conservation easement restricting public access to a portion of the land, and in that the trial court erroneously conflated a public purpose under Chapter 253, RSMo. with unfettered public access to every corner of the park, which is not required to constitute a park purpose. III. Point III – The trial court erred in finding DNR’s authority to ..................... 19 purchase and use land for a park purpose conflicts with the terms of a conservation easement that restricts public access to portions of that land, because state parks throughout Missouri and across the country are subject to similar restrictive easements that limit unfettered public access, ii Electronically Filed - SOUTHERN DISTRICT CT OF APPEAL March 24, 2021 04:34 PM in that the trial court’s reasoning, if upheld, would imperil park lands throughout Missouri and across the country and it would have a devastating impact on conservation efforts impacting generations to come.

  • Big Spring and Recharge Area and the Possibility of Lead Mining
    Big Spring and Recharge Area and the Possibility of Lead Mining BY QUINTA SCOTT 34 | The Confluence | Spring/Summer 2017 Big Spring boils up beneath caves, old outlets in a wall of Eminence Dolomite. It delivers 286,000,000 gallons of water a day to a short spring branch, which carries it east to the Current River. However, Big Spring draws its water from the Eleven Point River watershed to the west in Shannon, Oregon, and Carter counties, Missouri. Its recharge area fans out to the eastern edge of Howell County near Fanton, close to 39.5 miles away. Within the watershed Hurricane Creek, a losing stream and tributary to the Eleven Point, contributes all its water to Big Spring in eight losing sections.1 In 1983 USX, formerly U.S. Steel Corp., and Amax Exploration, Inc., applied to the U.S. Forest Service for an exploratory permit to drill for lead in the Hurricane Creek watershed. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, the application ended up in the hands of the Doe Run Corporation. It raised several issues. Geologists with the U.S. Geological Survey and its Missouri counterpart realized they had no idea how lead mining would affect a watershed in a karst landscape. They lacked the basic knowledge of the Hurricane Creek landscape beyond Thomas J. Aley’s 1975 study. Their available geological maps dated back to 1930, when Josiah Bridge completed his study of the Geology of the Eminence and Cardareva Quadrangles. Over the next 15 years, geologists brought Bridge’s maps up to date.
