  • Daniel Boone National Forest Historic Sites by Robert F
    DANIEL BOONE NATIONAL FOREST HISTORIC SITES BY ROBERT F. COLLINS Forest Supervisor, United States Department of Agriculture Winchester, Kentucky Paper given before The Filson Club, June 5, 1967 INTRODUCTION The Daniel Boone National Forest, located in portions of 22 counties in Eastern Kentucky, administers over one-half million acres of Govern- merit-owned land under the multiple-use concept for the principal natural resources of timber, water, wildlife, and recreation. However, the area within the proclamation and purchase unit boundaries of Ken- tucky's only national forest also encompasses a great wealth of historic sites involving the early history of the settlement of the middle west and places and events famous in history, song, and story. These events form a fifth natural resource of the Daniel Boone National Forest. I would like to describe very briefly some of the major sites, and the happenings which made them famous. I THE ROWAN COUNTY WAR THE TOLLIVER.MARTIN FEUD--1884-1887 August, 1884 In an election brawl in Morehead, Kentucky, involving a number of individuals who had been drinking, and including John Martin and his friend Soloman Bradley, both Republicans, and Floyd Tolliver, a Democrat, shots were fired and Bradley was killed. John Martin ac- cused Floyd Tolliver of firing the shots and Floyd Tolliver accused John Martin. "The fued was on.'" The Grand Jury which met in Rowan County shortly thereafter charged Floyd Tolliver, John Martin, and John C. Day (Acting Sheriff at the time of the shooting) with malicious shooting, wounding, and murder. November, 1884 During the November term of court in Rowan County, at which the 26 1968] Daniel Boone National Forest 27 case involving the three individuals charged above was to be tried, Floyd Tolliver and John Martin, both of whom had been drinking, met in the Gait House, Morehead, Kentucky, had "words" -- pistols flashed -- Floyd Tolliver was killed.

It may be reproduced for study, research or training purposes subject to the inclusion of an acknowledgement of the source and no commercial usage or sale. Reproduction for purposes other than those listed requires permission from Sydney Water. Sewage Treatment System Impact Monitoring Program | Vol 1 Data Report 2019-20 Page | i Executive summary Background Sydney Water operates 23 wastewater treatment systems and each system has an Environment Protection Licence (EPL) regulated by the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA). Each EPL specifies the minimum performance standards and monitoring that is required. The Sewage Treatment System Impact Monitoring Program (STSIMP) commenced in 2008 to satisfy condition M5.1a of our EPLs. The results are reported to the NSW EPA every year. The STSIMP aims to monitor the environment within Sydney Water’s area of operations to determine general trends in water quality over time, monitor Sydney Water’s performance and to determine where Sydney Water’s contribution to water quality may pose a risk to environmental ecosystems and human health. The format and content of 2019-20 Data Report predominantly follows four earlier reports (2015-16 to 2018-19). Sydney Water’s overall approach to monitoring (design and method) is consistent with the Australian and New Zealand Environment and Conservation Council (ANZECC 2000 and ANZG 2018) guidelines.

(Copperhead) is pleased to submit the attached proposal to analyze approximately 122 miles of river and stream associated with the Licking River from Paris, Kentucky to the Ohio River to evaluate the potential for outdoor recreation and tourism. We have assembled a team of biologists, GIS specialists, archeologists, economic developers, recreational specialists, planners, and watershed specialists to support this project. Along with Copperhead biologists, planners, and writers, we have partnered with Cultural Resource Analysts, Inc. for archeological and historical services, EHI Consultants to support economic analyses and plan development, OutrageGIS Mapping to support mapping, and the University of Kentucky to develop initial outreach products for this project. Our multi-faceted expertise makes us ideally suited to serve your environmental service needs. The following document outlines select project experience examples and implementation plans. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or clarifications needed. Sincerely, Marty Marchaterre Environmental Planner (859) 684-9387 [email protected] OVERVIEW Kentucky’s natural resources are a tourism draw for residents of the Commonwealth and visitors alike. The Licking River watershed is home to navigable waters, interesting plant and animal species, attractive geological features, fascinating historical and archeological stories, and an overall natural beauty. The Licking River, along with the South Fork of the Licking River and Stoner Creek from Paris, Kentucky to the Ohio River near Cincinnati, Ohio (hereafter referred to as the Study Corridor), has the potential to be promoted for outdoor recreation and tourism through fishing, boating, bird watching, heritage tourism, and educational opportunities, to name a few.

  • Dear Friends, Sonoma County Is Celebrating the Winter and Spring Rains Which Have Left Our Rivers and Creeks with Plenty of Clea
    This picture of Mark West creek was taken in April by our intern, Nick Bel. Dear Friends, Sonoma County is celebrating the winter and spring rains which have left our rivers and creeks with plenty of clear clean water going into summer. Many of CCWI’s water monitors have noted that local rivers and creeks have more water and are more beautiful than they have been in the past several years. This is a very promising start to the summer season, but we should not let our guard down just yet. Several years of drought have left us with a shortage of water in many reservoirs so we must still be conscious of how we use and protect this precious resource. CCWI has a new program Director! Art Hasson joined the Community Clean Water Institute in 2008 as an intern and volunteer water monitor. Art has a business degree from the State University of New York, which he has put to good use as our new program director. He has updated our water quality database engaged in field work, performed flow studies and bacterial analysis for the past two years. Art is focused on protecting our public health through the preservation of our waterways. CCWI would like to thank outgoing program director Terrance Fleming for his hard work and valuable contributions to protect water resources. We wish him the very best in his future endeavors. CCWI would like to thank our donors for their support in building our online database interactive database. It contains nine years of data that CCWI volunteer water monitors have collected on local creeks and streams in and around Sonoma County.

  • 1 CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT of FISH and GAME STREAM INVENTORY REPORT Big Austin Creek Report Revised April 14, 2006 Report Complete
    CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME STREAM INVENTORY REPORT Big Austin Creek Report Revised April 14, 2006 Report Completed 2000 Assessment Completed 1995 INTRODUCTION Stream inventories were conducted during the summers of 1995 and 1996 on Big Austin Creek. The inventories were conducted in two parts: habitat inventory and biological inventory. The objective of the habitat inventory was to document the amount and condition of available habitat to fish, and other aquatic species with an emphasis on anadromous salmonids in Big Austin Creek. The objective of the biological inventory was to document the salmonid and other aquatic species present and their distribution. The objective of this report is to document the current habitat conditions, and recommend options for the potential enhancement of habitat for Chinook salmon, coho salmon and steelhead trout. Recommendations for habitat improvement activities are based upon target habitat values suitable for salmonids in California's north coast streams. WATERSHED OVERVIEW Big Austin Creek is a tributary of the Russian River, located in Sonoma County, California (see Big Austin Creek map, page 2). The legal description at the confluence with the Russian River is T7N, R11W. Its location is 38°27'58" N. latitude and 123°2'57" W. longitude. Year round vehicle access exists from Austin Creek Road via Highway 116 near Cazadero. The upper road was only accessible through private locked gates. Big Austin Creek and its tributaries drain a basin of approximately 68.7 square miles. Big Austin Creek is a fourth order stream and has approximately 13 miles of blue line stream, according to the USGS Guerneville, Duncans Mills, Fort Ross, and Cazadero 7.5 minute quadrangles.
