Delaware River Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy Delaware River Watershed Restoration And Protection Strategy May 2007 DELAWARE RIVER WATERSHED RESTORATION AND PROTECTION STRATEGY By Marlene K. Bosworth Delaware River WRAPS Coordinator April 2007 2 MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Delaware River Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) is to provide the framework for the implementation of water quality improvement practices and behaviors through technical, informational, educational and financial assistance to stakeholders in the watershed. Our goal is to restore the watershed to a condition with clean water, healthy habitats and open spaces for human and wildlife communities. We aim to make the watershed a place where people work together to sustain mutual economic and environmental well-being. ¾ WRAPS is a “community-based” watershed management project, with the “community” being the Delaware River Watershed. Its goal is to protect and restore watershed functions while considering the social and economic factors of the human and non-human residents of the community and the benefits of those watershed functions to each. ¾ Everyone lives in a watershed and is part of a watershed community. The actions of individuals can have a positive or a negative impact on the health of natural resources (the soil, water, air, plants and animals) in their watershed. Small watersheds join together to form larger watersheds, much like many branches on a tree together form the whole tree. What happens in individual, smaller watersheds affects larger watersheds downstream. A WATERSHED is the area that water flows across or under on its way to a particular stream, river, lake or ocean. The DELAWARE RIVER WATERSHED is the area that water flows across or under on its way to the Delaware River in northeast Kansas, an area of over 1,110 square miles. The Delaware River terminates at its confluence with the Kansas River south of Perry Lake Reservoir near the city of Perry, Kansas. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Delaware River Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy was made possible through sponsorship of the Glacial Hills Resource Conservation and Development Region, Inc. in Valley Falls, Kansas, Gary Satter, Director. The Kansas Department of Health & Environment has provided financial assistance to this project through an EPA Section 319 Nonpoint Source Pollution Control grant and through Kansas Water Plan funds.

Fischer, Water Quality Program Manager for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Kansas City District, for sharing information about water quality in Lake Perry, and assistance in editing and improving this document. Thanks to Debra Baker, Kansas Water Office, and Melissa Arthur, Kansas Association for Conservation and Environmental Education, for editing assistance. Thanks also to Mary Fund of the Kansas Rural Center for taking notes and providing assistance with stakeholder meeting minutes, and to Jim Marietta, District Conservationist for the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Jefferson County for ideas and vision in planning BMP’s for the watershed. Thanks to the many landowners, agency and local government representatives and other interested individuals who took time out of busy schedules to attend meetings, provide information and give input

agencies and organizations, public waters supplies and others participated in development of this Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) for the Delaware River watershed. The Delaware River WRAPS was initiated by the Glacial Hills Resource Conservation & Development Region in Valley Falls, Kansas, sponsor of the project, and funded through EPA Section 319 Nonpoint Source Pollution Control grant and Kansas Water Plan funds. The Delaware River Watershed, located in northeast Kansas, faces many challenges related to water. The first step in the WRAPS process was the identification of the most important of those challenges by stakeholders from the watershed itself. Grassroots involvement of local people and groups who live or work in the watershed to identify water problems, come up with solutions and develop a plan to address those problems, is a relatively new approach to watershed planning in Kansas. Seven major water issues were identified and prioritized by watershed stakeholders beginning in late 2005 through early 2007. These seven major water issues include, in order of priority: sedimentation, nutrient management, fecal coliform bacteria contamination, pesticide contamination, household hazardous wastes, water wells, and point sources of pollution. Major objectives related to these issues include reduction of sediment loads to streams and lakes by stabilization of stream banks and reduction of erosion from cropland and grassland; reduction of phosphorus levels in major lakes in the watershed; reduction of bacterial contamination of water from human and livestock wastes; reduction of pesticide contamination from both urban and agricultural sources; establishment of household hazardous.

Park Lake (EU, Silt) • Sabetha (EU) Prioritized Critical Areas for Targeting BMPs Implementing BMPs in smaller targeted areas achieves th e end goals of water quality improvement of impaired waters in the most cost and time effective way. Delaware River WRAPS – 9 Element Watershed Plan Summary Targeting Considerations: • Cropland Targeted areas were identified after reviewing a SWAT model and a KDHE Cropland/Slope analysis. Landowner knowledge was also considered. • Livestock Targeted areas were identified after landowners in the watershed determined which areas had the largest number of uncertified animal operations. • Streambank targeted areas where identified based on several studies including the TWI 2008 stream channel morphology and a 2007 Geological Survey study . • Gully targeted areas where identified by a 2010 KWO study of gully erosion sites using GIS layers.

  • Selected Death Notices from Jackson County, Kansas
    SELECTED DEATH NOTICES FROM JACKSON COUNTY, KANSAS, NEWSPAPERS VOLUME IV 1897-1899 COMPILED BY DAN FENTON 2002 ii INTRODUCTION At the beginning of the time period covered by this volume, there were six newspapers being published in Holton, The Holton Weekly Recorder, The Holton Weekly Signal, Normal Advocate, University Informer, The Tribune, and The Kansas Sunflower. The University Informer ceased publication June 1898, and the Normal Advocate, in March 1899. Both were publications of Campbell University. The Soldier Clipper, and the Circleville News, continued in their respective cities. In Whiting, the Sun ceased its publication January 28, 1898, but the Whiting Journal newspaper soon replaced it on February 18, 1898. In Netawaka, the Netawaka Herald ceased publication on June 30, 1899. In Denison, the Hummer began publication on January 10, 1899, and ceased March 15, 1899. As noted in the previous volumes, not every death reported in these newspapers is included in this book, only those seeming to have some connection with Jackson county. A death notice could appear in different newspapers and from different sources within a paper. One principal notice is listed with excerpts from other accounts being used only when there is differing or additional information. Accolades to the deceased success as a Christian, parent and citizen have been deleted when possible, because of space consideration. Three ellipses denote the deletion of part of a sentence and four that of a sentence or even paragraphs. Each death notice is numbered consecutively and it is this number that appears in the index, not the page number. This is an all surname index that I hope will help the researcher identify family relationships that otherwise would be hidden.
