A significant component of the state system is the 33,832 miles of roads and 10,397 bridges, both of which rank among the largest for any state in the nation. On average, Missouri drivers pay $30 per month in fuel taxes and fees to fund the maintenance and improvements to this asset. Over the last 10 years, Missourians have invested in 4,333 projects totaling $10.9 billion to maintain and improve the system. Looking forward, $5.5 billion is estimated to be available for projects over the next five years for additional improvements. Since transportation needs greatly outweigh funding available, the challenge is determining the optimal projects to fund that provide the greatest return on investment to taxpayers. Across every region of the state, feedback from Missourians has consistently prioritized maintaining the existing system as the highest priority. Other priorities include projects that improve safety and reliability, spur economic growth and provide more transportation choices. With the priority of maintaining the existing system, MoDOT has developed asset management plans for each district with the goal to maintain current pavement and bridge conditions.

  • Iowa One Hundred Two River – 10240013 8-Digit Hydrologic Unit Profile October 2009
    One Hundred Two River – 10240013 October 2009 8-Digit Hydrologic Unit Profile Iowa Introduction The One Hundred Two River Rapid Watershed Assessment (RWA) provides initial estimates of where conservation investments would best address the resource concerns of landowners, conservation districts, and other community organizations and stakeholders in Iowa. These assessments help landowners and local leaders set priorities and determine the best actions to achieve their goals to conserve and improve soil and water resources. Physical Description The One Hundred Two River 8-Digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) watershed contains 496,987 acres (1) of which 250,116 acres are located in Iowa. Eighty-five percent of the watershed is in Taylor County, 15 percent in Adams County, and less than one percent in Ringgold County, (1). Ninety-eight percent of the watershed is privately owned agricultural land, 0.5 percent is publicly owned, and the remaining 1.5 percent is split between municipal areas and private conservation areas (2). Fifty percent of the watershed is in cropland, 35 percent is pasture or hayland, 7 percent is woodland, and 8 percent is split between water, wetlands, natural areas, and developed/urban areas (3). Elevations range from 1,011 feet to 1,331 feet (4). The average watershed slope is 6.7 percent (5). The primary Land Capability Class in the watershed is class 3. The Land Capability Class (LCC) breakdown for the watershed is: 1.6 percent in class 1; 29.5 percent in class 2; 48.7 percent in class 3; 18 percent in class 4; and the remaining 2.2 percent is split between classes 5, 6, 7, and 8 (6).

  • Platte River Watershed Inventory and Assessment
    PLATTE RIVER WATERSHED INVENTORY AND ASSESSMENT This information is based on the Platte River Watershed Inventory and Assessment prepared by Mike Bayless and Vince Travnichek Missouri Department of Conservation St. Joseph, Missouri For additional information contact: Harold A. Kerns Northwest Regional office 701 NE College Drive St. Joseph 64507 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We would like to thank numerous individuals for their assistance in preparing this document. Brian Canaday, Lynn Schrader, and Tom Wilkerson, Jr. compiled much of the base information presented in this basin plan. Mike McGhee and John Olson (Iowa DNR) provided data from fish collections and stream habitat surveys within the Iowa portion of the basin. Missouri Department of Conservation, Kansas City Fisheries Management Region staff collected fish and provided information on stream habitat from the lower portion of the basin. Debbie Banks collected data on stream gradients and channelization within the basin. Thanks to all and to any contributers not mentioned. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Platte River is a low gradient, eighth order river located in southwest Iowa and northwest Missouri. The Platte River originates in Union County, Iowa and flows southward for about 200 miles where it empties into the Missouri River near the town of Farley, Missouri. The watershed contains 2,419 square miles with 786 square miles (32.5%) in Iowa and 1,633 square miles (67.5%) in Missouri and lies within the Dissected Till Plains physiographic region. The average annual discharge for the Platte River at Sharps Station (98% of the drainage basin) is 1,925 cubic feet per second. There are 435 third order and larger streams within the basin, and major tributaries include the 102 River, Third Fork, Honey Creek, Castile Creek, and the Little Platte River.

Abstract (Limit: 200 words) Water supplies are limited in much of northwestern Missouri, and water-resources data also are limited. The report presents a summary of hydrologic data and an evalu- ation of areas where future hydrologic investigations would be most useful. The largest and most dependable surface-water supplies that can be obtained without storage from tributary streams are from the lower Grand, Nodaway, and Chariton Rivers. The sources of ground water in order of quantities available are the Missouri River alluvium, glacial drift, tributary stream alluvium, and Pennsylvanian bedrock.
