This Forest Plan Amendment also was developed in accordance with regulations (40 CFR 1500) for implementing the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). Because this Forest Plan Amendment is considered a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment, a detailed Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) has been prepared as required by NEPA and 36 CFR 219. If any particular provision of this Forest Plan Amendment, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, is found to be invalid, the remainder of the Forest Plan Amendment and the application of that provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in all its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, and where applicable, sex, marital status, familial status, parental status, religion, sexual orientation, genetic information, political beliefs, reprisal, or because all or part of an individual’s income is derived from any public assistance program.

  • The Stratobowl Flights of the 1930'S
    The Stratobowl Flights of the 1930’s Teaching Tip Wind Study: For a Lifetime Wind Study: For a Lifetime During this activity your students will learn about two 1930s balloon flights launched near Rapid City that provided invaluable scientific data about the nature of the Earth's atmosphere at the edge of space, also setting an altitude record that would stand for 21 years. The students will then participate in a qualitative wind speed study. Both aircrafts were assembled and sent aloft from an unusual bowl-shaped gorge in the Black Hills. A flat patch of land surrounded by high, steep cliffs provided shelter from wind and the best-possible conditions for inflating and launching large, lighter-than-air craft. The formation is now known as the Stratobowl. According to the USDA Forest service, “The Stratobowl, a natural depression in the terrain of the Black Courtesy: EPOD (Mike Barondeau), “The Stratobowl pictured Hills, has 300-to-500-foot sides combined of tree-lined banks above is located about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) off Highway 16 and jagged limestone cliffs while the bottom is a flat plain of between Rapid City, South Dakota and Mt. Rushmore.” about 35 acres.” The Explorer I flight launched July 28, 1934, reached a height of 60,616 feet (11.5 miles) before a rip in the balloon's fabric allowed an uncontrolled release of hydrogen. Explorer II was launched from the Stratobowl in frigid weather on November 11, 1935 with Captains Stevens and Anderson on board. It's estimated that between 35,000 to 40,000 people witnessed the launch.

  • Papers of the Dakota Conference a National Conference on the Northern Plains
    Papers of the Dakota Conference A National Conference on the Northern Plains Index: 1990-2010 Compiled by: Amanda Jenson Team The Center for Western Studies Preface The Center for Western Studies (CWS) of Augustana College is pleased to make available this index to the Papers of the Dakota Conference on Northern Plains History, Literature, Art, and Archaeology for the years 1990 to 2010. Over the years, many individuals have contributed to this index. This update, for 2008 to 2010, was done by Collections Assistant Amanda Jenson. In 1989, following the Twenty-second Annual Dakota History Conference, Dakota State University, the home of the conference since its founding in February 1969, invited South Dakota institutions to consider sponsoring the conference, since the academic program at Dakota State no longer accommodated a history conference. The Center for Western Studies agreed to administer the conference beginning in 1990, with the promise of financial support consideration from the South Dakota Humanities Council. The Humanities Council provided grant support for the conference annually from 1990 to 2008, in response to competitive proposals submitted by CWS. Over the years, significant additional financial support has been received from several individuals and organizations. For twenty-one years, the Center for Western Studies has not only administered the conference but has also expanded its scope to include the northern Great Plains and welcomed papers on literature, art, and archaeology as well as history. Dedicated to examining regional issues in their historical and cultural contexts, the Dakota Conference is now a signature event of CWS, which provides programming in Northern Plains studies at Augustana College.

  • 2006 Proceedings.Indd
    Proceedings of the South Dakota Academy of Science, Vol. 85 (2006) 31 NITRATE IN RAPID CITY’S WATER SUPPLY Perry H. Rahn Department of Geology & Geological Engineering South Dakota School of Mines & Technology Rapid City, SD 57701 ABSTRACT Nitrate concentrations are increasing in Rapid City’s municipal wells. Wells #5, #6, #8, #9, #10, and #11 were drilled to the Madison Limestone in 1991-92, and yearly samples for 1993-2005 show nitrate (as nitrogen) concentration in these wells fairly consistently increasing from roughly 0.15 to 0.35 mg/L. Well #8 is farthest from the Madison outcrops and has the lowest concentration. The nitrate concentration is still below the EPA drinking water limit of 10 mg/L. Nevertheless, the increasing concentration is disconcerting because it is clearly anthropogenic but its cause is not clear. Meadowbrook Gallery and Girl Scout Gallery obtain water from alluvium, and by induced infiltration from Rapid Creek. These two water sources show slightly declining nitrate concentrations, roughly from about 1.3 mg/L in 1993 to 1.0 mg/L in 2005. These relatively high values probably reflect fertilizers used in the Meadowbrook golf course and other places and/or high nitrate in Rapid Creek. Jackson Spring shows nitrate concentration increasing from roughly 0.25 to 0.35 mg/L. This water originates as part of the Jackson Spring/Cleghorn Spring complex; the nitrate probably reflects the general composition of the ground water in the Madison aquifer as well as Rapid Creek. The nitrate in the Madison wells and Jackson Spring could come from a number of sources: (1) Streams recharging the Madison aquifer at the sinkhole “loss zones” along Rapid, Boxelder, and Spring creeks.
