James River Freeway in Springfield, MO March 30, 2021 The Honorable Billy Long United States House of Representatives 2454 Rayburn HOB Washington D.C. 20515 Dear Congressman Long, The Ozarks Transportation Organization would like to express our support of additional funds to widen James River Freeway in Springfield, MO. The freeway is in desperate need of additional lanes to solve safety and congestion issues on the roadway. With over 80,000 cars a day using the freeway, it serves as an essential arterial to get people to work and goods moving in and through our community. There have been over 804 crashes over the last ten years, which many might have been avoided if speeds were not slowed to 46 miles per hour in the evening peak hour. The region is proud of the collaboration we have in selecting projects using a data driven approach to agree on our top priorities. The cities of Springfield, Republic, Nixa, Ozark, Willard, Strafford and Battlefield along with Greene and Christian counties agree James River Freeway is a priority for the region. We must keep the freeway system moving in to keep business moving. The widening of James River Freeway will be a straightforward project, as environmental clearance is approved pending final details on sound wall locations. MoDOT has done considerable work to prepare for the construction of additional lanes from National to Kansas Expressway and construction is planned for FY22. We look forward to the completion of this important project and hope that you will request that congressional funds are directed to the widening of James River Freeway. Thank you for your service and your consideration of this project.

On a regular basis, we’ve got multiple members doing different things every weekend. There is no shortage of things to do. We’ve got the recurring monthly Cave Research Foundation trips to caves in Buffalo River National Park, monthly Barry County ridgewalking weekends, work at the Ozarks National Scenic Riverways, the on-going Shoal Creek Cave survey, not to mention other multiple surveys Jon, et al have in progress. Breakdown Cave, which SPG manages, is closed during the winter months so that hibernating bats are not disturbed. The cave will open for the year on April 1st, so those of you who joined the grotto over the winter will now have a chance to get an introduction to the cave. It’s a GREAT cave to cut your caving teeth on, if you haven’t had a chance to yet. And remember, Breakdown Cave is accessible to members anytime from April 1st to November 15th.

  • Early Christian County, Mining by Wayne Glenn
    EARLY CHRISTIAN COUNTY MINING By Wayne Glenn, 2009 After finishing a book on Christian County’s first 150 years, this author decided to look into an element of the county’s history that I had become aware of when doing research for that book. I had seen a few references to the county’s mining past, but I had no idea how significant the search for gold, lead, iron ore, coal, zinc, copper, etc. were in helping settle the southeast quarter of Christian County. Having time for additional research, I quickly came upon many 19th century references to mining in future Christian County (before 1859) and even more detailed information about local mining after the county was established. It is even likely that the search for minerals played a role in the movement to create Christian County from already existing counties. In my book on Christian County’s 150 year history, we recited passages from geologist Henry Schoolcraft’s monumental writings on his 1818-1819 trip to future Christian County and its surrounding territory. In reality, American-born Schoolcraft (1793-1864) came to southwest Missouri Territory to learn about its mineral potential. While Schoolcraft took a wide-angle look at everything he saw, his area of greatest concern was the existence and volume of minerals in the area. He wrote of his first hand observation of primitive mining and smelting that had been done by the Osage Indians in future Christian and Greene Counties. He stated in a book he wrote on Missouri mines that he believed valuable lead mines were about 20 miles above the junction of the “Findley River” (Finley Creek) and the larger James River.

  • Nonpoint Source Bank Erosion and Water Quality Assessment, James River at River Bluff Farm, Stone County, Missouri
    The Ozarks Environmental and Water Resources Institute (OEWRI) Missouri State University (MSU) FINAL REPORT Nonpoint Source Bank Erosion and Water Quality Assessment, James River at River Bluff Farm, Stone County, Missouri Field work completed May 2012- May 2013 Prepared by: Marc R. Owen, M.S., Assistant Director Robert T. Pavlowsky, Ph.D., Director Ezekiel Kuehn, Graduate Assistant Assisted in the field by Lindsay M. Olson, Graduate Assistant Prepared for: James River Basin Partnership Joseph Pitts, Executive Director 117 Park Central Square Springfield, MO 65806 August 16, 2013 OEWRI EDR-13-002 1 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES The James River Basin Partnership (JRBP) is working with a landowner to implement a conservation easement along the west bank of the James River in Stone County. This conservation easement is part of a Section 319 Grant from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and the Environmental Protection Agency Region VII designed to reduce nonpoint source pollution to the James River. The Ozarks Environmental and Water Resources Institute (OEWRI) will complete a bank erosion and nonpoint modeling study to determine the annual bank erosion rates and related sediment and nutrient loadings to the James River for the 6 km (3.7 mi) long easement segment. Sediment released to the channel by erosion can supply excess nutrients to river and cause sedimentation problems downstream. Portions of the James River are listed on the 303 D list of impaired waters for nutrients, and phosphorus (P) has been identified as the limiting factoring in eutrophic conditions in the basin (MDNR, 2001). Riparian easements remove the potential for future development or other disturbances that can increase runoff and nonpoint loads to the river.

    Status of the Watershed A Report from the Upper White River Basin Foundation On Water Quality in the Ozarks October 2008 Upper White River Basin Foundation P.O. Box 6218 Branson, MO 65615 www.uwrb.org 2 Status of the Watershed A Report from the Upper White River Basin Foundation On Water Quality in the Ozarks October, 2008 The Foundation The Upper White River Basin Foundation (the “Foundation”) is a not-for-profit watershed organization with offices in Branson, Missouri. Its mission is to promote water quality in the upper White River watershed through bi-state collaboration on research, education, pubic policy and action projects in Arkansas and Missouri. The basin region is shown in the accompanying map. Established in 2001, the Foundation was formed to address threats to the beautiful rivers, lakes and streams which have supported economic development in the region and contributed to the attractive lifestyle of the Ozarks. Through the support of its board of trustees and several water quality grants, the Foundation has undertaken a variety of projects to fulfill its mission. More information about the Foundation can be found on the organization’s website at uwrb.org. The Problem The Foundation’s board has regularly discussed the extent to which its programs and projects are having an impact on water quality in the basin watershed. This is a difficult issue because many factors influence what is happening to the water. An even more fundamental issue involves what is actually meant by the term “quality,” prompting the question “quality for what purpose?” We understand the answer to this latter question in common terms like suitability for fishing, swimming, water sports and with appropriate treatment, drinking.

  • Community Profile
    Hazard Mitigation Plan Community Profile Community Profile: Introduction Jurisdiction Community Profiles Each participating jurisdiction was asked to write or update a profile that includes information like the history of their jurisdiction, demographics, future development plans and significant historic disasters. Those profiles were integrated by the Office or Emergency Management and transferred into proper format. Because of the various types and sized of jurisdictions (school districts, fire districts, and municipalities), the profiles may not include the same information. For example, smaller fire districts that are ran by volunteers may not have expansion or development plans at this time compared to larger districts with paid fire-fighters. Nevertheless, the profiles provide a basic understanding from staffing figures to a brief history of each jurisdiction. Additionally, it should be noted that a great deal of historical and demographic data is derived from Census reports. Evangel and Drury University Evangel University and Drury University are private Universities and therefore do not qualify as participants of the 2015 Mitigation Plan. Capturing their demographics was included to more accurately represent the student populations present in Greene County.
