  • A Naturalist's Guide to the Great Plains
    Paul A. Johnsgard A Naturalist’s Guide to the Great Plains Sites, Species, and Spectacles This book documents nearly 500 US and Canadian locations where wildlife refuges, na- ture preserves, and similar properties protect natural sites that lie within the North Amer- ican Great Plains, from Canada’s Prairie Provinces to the Texas-Mexico border. Information on site location, size, biological diversity, and the presence of especially rare or interest- ing flora and fauna are mentioned, as well as driving directions, mailing addresses, and phone numbers or internet addresses, as available. US federal sites include 11 national grasslands, 13 national parks, 16 national monuments, and more than 70 national wild- life refuges. State properties include nearly 100 state parks and wildlife management ar- eas. Also included are about 60 national and provincial parks, national wildlife areas, and migratory bird sanctuaries in Canada’s Prairie Provinces. Numerous public-access prop- erties owned by counties, towns, and private organizations, such as the Nature Conser- vancy, National Audubon Society, and other conservation and preservation groups, are also described. Introductory essays describe the geological and recent histories of each of the five mul- tistate and multiprovince regions recognized, along with some of the author’s personal memories of them. The 92,000-word text is supplemented with 7 maps and 31 drawings by the author and more than 700 references. Cover photo by Paul Johnsgard. Back cover drawing courtesy of David Routon.

  • Chapter 3 Affected Environment
    South Dakota Proposed RMP/Final EIS Chapter 3, Affected Environment Chapter 3 Affected Environment Chapter 3 contains a description of the physical, biological, cultural, economic and social conditions of the South Dakota Field Office (SDFO) planning area. The Affected Environment serves as the baseline of existing conditions from which the impacts of the alternatives may be analyzed in the Resource Management Plan (RMP). Natural, Biological, and Cultural Resources Air Resources Regional air resources are influenced by the interaction of several factors, including weather, climate, the magnitude and spatial distribution of local and regional air pollutant sources, and the chemical properties of emitted air pollutants. Air resources include air quality and air quality related values (AQRVs), which include visibility and acid deposition to soils and lakes. The regulation of air quality standards, emission controls, and other requirements are primarily the responsibility of the Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (SD DENR). The BLM works cooperatively with these regulatory agencies and other federal land management agencies to maintain compliance with air quality standards in the planning area. Regional Winds Wind is a critical component of ambient air quality because it disperses pollutants and transports them away from the point of origin. The prevailing wind directions for Rapid City, South Dakota are out of the north and north-northwest, as shown in Table 3-1.

And we of the United States Army Corps of Engineers are the stewards and principal developers of this most vital of the Nation’s resources. This booklet is only one of a series which covers our past, current, and proposed activities for every state in the Union. V' Our work began in 1824 when the Congress first directed us to begin naviga­ f \ IV tion work on the waterways of the United States so that an improved transporta­ tion system could open up the West for expansion. Since that time, the Engineers \ have found themselves widening their efforts into flood control, water supply, hydroelectric power, recreation, and water conservation, meeting the needs and > the demands of the American people. Today, there is increased emphasis on con­ servation, wetland protection, non-structural engineering solutions, metropolitan and flood plain water management, and the preservation and enhancement of the environment. We of the Corps take great satisfaction in our long record of service 88 to meet the changing needs in water resource management.
