  • Fluvial Geomorphology Analysis of the Kiamichi River, Oklahoma
    W 2800.7 F293 no. T-l9-P-l 6/04-6/06 c.l FLUVIAL GEOMORPHOLOGY ANALYSIS OF THE KIAMICIll RIVER, OKLAHOMA OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE CONSERVATION' JUNE 1,2004 through JUNE 30, 2006 A comprehensive geomorphic analysis of the Kiamichi River, Oklahoma was conducted to characterize the current landscape, fluvial geomorphic condition, flow and sediment regimes, and to identify potential impacts from the impoundment of the Jackfork Creek tributary to the morphological form and function of the river. The Kiamichi River channel has changed little over the last 25 years. It was classified as a Rosgen F type stream and had a basin relief ratio of 0.00345. The Kiamichi River Basin is classified as a Rosgen X type valley. Meander wavelength increased significantly in the downstream direction; the average reach meander wavelength ranged from 11 to 60 mean reach bankfull widths. Bankfull width, bankfull area, width:depth ratio, and channel stability increased in the downstream direction. Although there was no significant change in substrate size longitudinally, the percentage of gravel and cobble substrate increased and the percentage of bedrock decreased in the downstream direction. Bankfull discharge increased in the downstream direction, as expected. The majority of sites sampled were classified as Rosgen F4 stream types. The effective discharge (Qe) at the Big Cedar gaging station was estimated to be 4500 cubic feet per second (cfs) with a threshold discharge (Qt) of 0.1 cfs. The Antlers gaging station Qe was estimated to be 25,000 cfs with a Qt of 3.5 cfs. Deposition bar area below the Jackfork Creek tributary has increased over time.

  • Hugo Lake, Kiamichi River, Oklahoma, Furnished with Your Letter Dated 21 September 1973
    FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT HUOO LAKE KIAMICHI RIVER, OKLAHOMA Prepared by TULSA DISTRICT, CORPS OF ENC,INKERS TULSA, OKLAHOMA February 1974 Statement of Findings Hugo Lake, Kiamichi River Basin, Oklahoma As Acting District Engineer, Tulsa District, Corps of Engineers, it is my duty in the role of responsible Federal Official to evaluate project data presented in the environmental statement, draw conclusions, and make recommendations to my higher authority. The overall public interest has been given the utmost consideration and personal concern in my review and evaluation of the documents concerning the proposed action, as well as the stated views of other interested agencies and the public, relative to the various alternatives in accomplishing the purposes of flood con­ trol, water supply, recreation, and fish and wildlife. Therefore, I have both a professional and personal concern in drawing the soundest possible conclusions from the studies, observations, and consultations made in the investigation of Hugo Lake. Project formulation studies for Hugo Lake occurred prior to the passage of the National Environmental Policy Act. During those studies public meetings, informal meetings, and workshops were conducted within the project area to determine public preferences, opinions, needs, and objectives. All project-related information derived from these meetings was carefully evaluated during plan formulation and was incorporated into the planning ana development of Hugo Lake for the total public interest. The construction of the project was 83 percent complete on 31 October 1973. A draft environmental statement was completed and released for review by other agencies, groups, and individuals on 21 September 1973. The final statement was then prepared utilizing comments received on the draft statement, technical assistance from the University of Oklahoma, and additional environmental studies by the Corps of Engineers.

    U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, REGION 2 ENViRONMENTAL QUALITY PROGRAM bY Dan B. Martin U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Oklahoma Ecological Services Field Office 222 South Houston, Suite A Tulsa, Oklahoma 74127 June 1997 CONCENTRATIONS OF SELECTED ELEMENTS in THE KIAMICHI RIVER ABOVE HUGO RESERVOIR Study Identifier 2F28 Prepared By U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Ecological Services Tulsa, Oklahoma Author Dan Martin June 1997 ABSTRACT Bulk element concentrations in soil collected from undisturbed forested sites throughout the Kiamichi River watershed above Hugo Reservoir were significantly higher in aluminum, arsenic, chromium, iron, lead, manganese and zinc than Kiamichi River sediment. There was no difference between soil and sediment with respect to copper, magnesium and nickel; cadmium, selenium and mercury could not be compared due to lack of detection in a sufficient number of samples. Geochemical normalization of soil and sediment data revealed that copper, magnesium, manganese and nickel were apparently enriched in sediment, whereas arsenic and lead were depleted. There was no difference with respect to chromium, iron or zinc. A comparison of element concentrations in the Kiamichi River sediment with guidelines suggested for the protection of benthic organisms indicated that sediments in this section of the river are not likely to be harmful. Significant differences in the concentration of arsenic, cadmium, chromium, iron, lead, magnesium and zinc were found between shoots and roots of water willow; whereas concentrations of aluminum, copper, manganese and nickel were similar in the two types of tissue. Mercury and selenium were not detected in plant tissues. Water willow did not bioaccumulate elements from sediments.

G. Moses A. Gordon Emslie Dean of the Graduate College ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank my mentor and friend, Dr. Bruce Hoagland, for his helpful comments through the years. He introduced me to the source materials on which this dissertation is based almost ten years ago. Bruce, you had me at GLO. I also wish to thank the members of my research committee, Dr. Allen Finchum, Dr. L. G. Moses, Dr. Alyson Greiner, and Dr. Hongbo Yu, for their many helpful comments through the various stages of this project. In addition, Dr. Richard Nostrand, Dr. Charles Gritzner, and Dr. Mark Miccozzi provided support for the topic. I have been lucky to have had extremely thoughtful friends in geography whom have given their opinions and support. In particular, my good friend Whit Durham listened to my incessant ramblings of all things Choctaw with a smile. Ranbir Kang, Jasper Dung, Dave Brockway, Aswin Subanthore, William Flynn, and Zok Pavlovic also provided extremely helpful ideas and support.
