Kansas Aquatic Nuisance Species Designated Waters Kansas Aquatic Nuisance Species Designated Waters October 16, 2020 It is illegal to transport live fish from Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) Designated Waters. To help prevent the spread of aquatic hitchhikers from these and other waters, always follow Clean – Drain – Dry procedures, do not move fish between waters or upstream, and remove plants and debris from equipment before leaving a water area.

  • Planning Sustainable Places Environmental Mapping
    Planning Sustainable Places Environmental Mapping The 69 Planning Sustainable Places (PSP) projects from 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019 are found in a variety of watersheds, and in forest conservation and restoration areas in the region. The shaded areas in blue note where projects have taken place. One project, the Wayfinding System Plan [2019] encompassed the whole 8-county region. It is counted as two projects due to its funding on both sides of the state line. It is not included in the calculations or lists below, which will take 67 projects into account. Over half of the projects, 36 of the 67, occur within the Blue River watershed which This map shows the areas of conservation priority in the region, with darker This map shows the areas of restoration priority in the region, which range crosses state lines and county boundaries. About 33%, 22 of 67, occur within the green colors indicating higher priority. Most Planning Sustainable Places from white as the lowest priority, to yellow as the moderate priority, to rust as Turkey Creek watershed which is also fed by location on both sides of the state line projects consist of areas of low to moderate priority. Many also include small the highest priority areas. While many PSP projects have small areas of high and crosses county boundaries. Twelve percent, 8 of 67, occur within Mill Creek areas of high conservation priority. restoration priority, projects with smaller areas are often in urban, low-priority watershed in Johnson County.

  • NPDES Annual Report Year 6 January 1, 2019 – December 31, 2019
    City of Lenexa NPDES Annual Report Year 6 January 1, 2019 – December 31, 2019 Clear Creek Regional Wetlands NPDES ANNUAL REPORT M-KS34-SU01 CITY OF LENEXA YEAR FIVE JANUARY 1, 2019 – DECEMBER 31, 2019 1 City of Lenexa NPDES Annual Report Year 6 January 1, 2019 – December 31, 2019 B. Executive Summary The City of Lenexa’s Stormwater Management Program, known as “Rain to Recreation,” is an active partner with Johnson County government and the county’s stormwater management program (JCSMP), the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC), and various non-profit organizations. The city of Lenexa partners directly with the JCSMP, who coordinates a cooperative approach for 12 Cities and unincorporated Johnson County, to help meet selected minimum control measures mandated in the NPDES Phase II Stormwater permits. In particular, the JCSMP coordinates water quality testing as well as efforts for best management practices (BMPs) under minimum control measures 1 and 2, but have also assist with MCM’s 3-6. This coordinated approach has proved to be cost effective and reduces redundancy among the cities in Johnson County. Lenexa was originally permitted in October of 2004. The latest permit was issued on October 1st, 2019. The latest permit requires that the City continue to operate under the stormwater management plan outlined in the previous permit until a new plan is submitted in 2021. To date, the city is in full compliance with past permit efforts. 1. Aspects of the program that appeared especially effective at reducing pollutants in stormwater discharge: Due to the nature of non-point source pollution, it is difficult to say for certain which aspects of this program reduced Stormwater pollution the most.

    ON OCTOBER 4, 1998, 5.6 INCHES OF RAIN FELL. In light of the flash flooding, the City of Merriam and Johnson County, Kansas purchased 33 homes for a total cost of approximately $5.3 million. C a s e S t u d i e s CITY OF MERRIAM, JOHNSON COUNTY, KANSAS MITIGATION Case Studies City of Merriam, Johnson County, Kansas Johnson County is in East Central Kansas. The county encompasses 476 square miles, and is in the Southwestern portion of the Kansas City metropolitan area. Union Pacific Railroad, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, Interstates I-35 and I-435 pass through the county. With a rapidly growing population currently estimated at 435,000, it is the second largest county in Kansas. The Kansas River forms the northern boundary and most of its tributaries drain into the river from Johnson County. Johnson County, Kansas and the communities that comprise the county were selected as a funded Project Impact community in 1999. Johnson County faces its greatest hazards from severe weather, primarily high winds and tornadoes during the spring and summer months and ice and snowstorms during the fall, winter, and early spring. The county is particularly vulnerable to such events due to the high density of population and development in the northeast quadrant of the county. The county is also subject to flash flooding associated with severe thunderstorms.

    SPECIAL AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN (SAMP) UPPER TURKEY CREEK WATERSHED Prepared by Frank Austenfeld, Executive Director Watershed Institute, Inc. Windmill Village, Bldg Four 7211 W. 98th Terr., Suite 140 Overland Park, Kansas 66212 (913) 685-4600 www.WatershedInstitute.biz The Upper Turkey Creek Watershed Special Area Management Plan (SAMP) is part of a grant request sponsored by the Kansas Water Office to be funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the benefit of the stakeholders in the Upper Turkey Creek Watershed. Phase one has already been completed and was funded by the EPA. The following discusses the SAMP goals, phases, and history. SAMP GOALS 1. Establish an Upper Turkey Creek Advisory Committee (UTAC)—from the stakeholder list— Through the assistance of the Turkey Creek SAMP Coordinator, Frank Austenfeld, Executive Director of the Watershed Institute, Inc. (TWI), to identify, coordinate, and implement actions that address Turkey Creek resource needs. 2. Improve Turkey Creek water quality to support native aquatic communities and enhance and maintain high-quality aquatic and terrestrial habitat in the Turkey Creek watershed. 3. Identify opportunities and mechanisms to educate and involve the public in enhancement of Turkey Creek. 4. Develop detailed comprehensive statements of policies, standards, and criteria to guide public and private uses of lands and waters as well as outline of mechanisms for implementation. 5. Establish a regulatory component addressing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 permits, Stormwater permits, and EPA regulatory information as well as other relevant regulatory components identified and agreed to through Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) with the various agencies and stakeholders giving some sense of continuity and predictability based on a watershed area approach.
