ABSTRACT The Missouri River, bordering Nebraska, has previously been reported to be uninhabitable for unionid mollusks. Studies conducted in the Missouri River and its backwaters, primarily during 1981 and 1982. revealed the presence of thirteen species and subspecies of unionid mollusks. The apparent absence of any extensive prior unionid work in the Missouri River may explain the discrepancy between this and previous literature. little has been written on the unionid fauna of the general understanding of the species present. The area Missouri River in general, and almost nothing on that portion selected for the survey extends from Santee, Nebraska to the of the river bordering Nebraska. Collections were reported confluence of the Platte and Missouri Rivers below Omaha during the nineteenth century from the Great Falls of the (Fig.

    (Slip Opinion) OCTOBER TERM, 2014 1 Syllabus NOTE: Where it is feasible, a syllabus (headnote) will be released, as is being done in connection with this case, at the time the opinion is issued. The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus KANSAS v. NEBRASKA ET AL. ON EXCEPTIONS TO REPORT OF SPECIAL MASTER No. 126, Orig. Argued October 14, 2014—Decided February 24, 2015 In 1943, Congress approved the Republican River Compact, an agree- ment between Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado to apportion the “vir- gin water originating in” the Republican River Basin. 57 Stat. 87. In 1998, Kansas filed an original action in this Court contending that Nebraska’s increased groundwater pumping was subject to regula- tion by the Compact to the extent that it depleted stream flow in the Basin. This Court agreed. Ensuing negotiations resulted in the 2002 Final Settlement Stipulation (Settlement), which established mecha- nisms to accurately measure water and promote compliance with the Compact. The Settlement identified the Accounting Procedures, a technical appendix, as the tool by which the States would measure stream flow depletion, and thus consumption, due to groundwater pumping. The Settlement also reaffirmed that “imported water”— that is, water brought into the Basin by human activity—would not count toward a State’s consumption. Again, the Accounting Proce- dures were to measure, so as to exclude, that water flow.
