Of Surface-Water Records to September 30, 1955
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY CIRCULAR 382 INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1955 PART 2. SOUTH ATLANTIC SLOPE AND EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO BASINS UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fred A. Seaton, Secretary GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Thomas B. Nolan, Director GEOLOGICAL SURVEY CIRCULAR 382 INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS TO SEPTEMBER 30,1955 PART 2. SOUTH ATLANTIC SLOPE AND EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO BASINS By P. R. Speer and A. B. Goodwin Washington, D. C., 1956 Free on application to the Geological Survey, Washington 25, D. C. INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS TO SEPTEMBER 30,1955 PAET 2. SOUTH ATLANTIC SLOPE AND EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO BASINS By P. R Speer and A. B. Goodwin EXPLANATION This index lists the streamflow and reservoir stations in the South Atlantic slope and Eastern Gulf of Mexico basins for which records have been or are to be published in reports of the Geological Survey for periods prior to September 30, 1955. Periods of record for the same station published by other agencies are listed only when they contain more detailed information or are for periods not reported in publications of the Geological Survey. The stations are listed in the downstream order first adopted for use in the 1951 series of water-supply papers on surface-water supply of the United States. Starting at the headwater of each stream all stations are listed in a downstream direction. Tributary streams are indicated by indention and are inserted between main-stem stations in the order in which they enter the main stream. To indicate the rank of any tributary on which a record is available and the stream to which it is immediately tributary, each indention in the listing of stations represents one rank. -
Comprehensive River Management Plan
September 2011 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT WEKIVA WILD AND SCENIC RIVER SYSTEM Florida __________________________________________________________________________ The Wekiva Wild and Scenic River System was designated by an act of Congress on October 13, 2000 (Public Law 106-299). The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 USC 1247) requires that each designated river or river segment must have a comprehensive river management plan developed. The Wekiva system has no approved plan in place. This document examines two alternatives for managing the Wekiva River System. It also analyzes the impacts of implementing each of the alternatives. Alternative A consists of the existing river management and trends and serves as a basis for comparison in evaluating the other alternative. It does not imply that no river management would occur. The concept for river management under alternative B would be an integrated program of goals, objectives, and actions for protecting and enhancing each outstandingly remarkable value. A coordinated effort among the many public agencies and entities would be needed to implement this alternative. Alternative B is the National Park Service’s and the Wekiva River System Advisory Management Committee’s preferred alternative. Implementing the preferred alternative (B) would result in coordinated multiagency actions that aid in the conservation or improvement of scenic values, recreation opportunities, wildlife and habitat, historic and cultural resources, and water quality and quantity. This would result in several long- term beneficial impacts on these outstandingly remarkable values. This Environmental Assessment was distributed to various agencies and interested organizations and individuals for their review and comment in August 2010, and has been revised as appropriate to address comments received. -

Egbert Executive Director The Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI) is a division of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Con- servation Commission (FWC). The FWC is “managing fish and wildlife resources for their long- term well-being and the benefit of people.” The FMRI conducts applied research pertinent to managing marine-fishery resources and marine species of special concern in Florida. Programs at the FMRI focus on resource-management topics such as managing gamefish and shellfish populations, restoring depleted fish stocks and the habitats that support them, pro- tecting coral reefs, preventing and mitigating oil-spill damage, protecting endangered and threatened species, and managing coastal-resource information. The FMRI publishes three series: Memoirs of the Hourglass Cruises, Florida Marine Research Publi- cations, and FMRI Technical Reports. FMRI Technical Reports contain information relevant to imme- diate resource-management needs. Kenneth D. Haddad, Chief of Research James F. Quinn, Jr., Science Editor Institute Editors Theresa M.

Black Creek Crayfish (Procambarus Pictus) Species Status Assessment
Black Creek Crayfish (Procambarus pictus) Species Status Assessment Version 1.0 Photo by Christopher Anderson July 2020 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service South Atlantic, Gulf & Mississippi Basin Regions Atlanta, GA ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This document was prepared by Kathryn N. Smith-Hicks (Texas A&M Natural Resources Institute), Heath Rauschenberger (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service [Service]), Lourdes Mena (Service), David Cook (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission [FWC]), and Erin Rivenbark (Service). Other species expertise, guidance, and document reviews were provided by Paul Moler (FWC), Gary Warren (FWC), Lindsey Reisinger (University of Florida), Katherine Lawlor (FWC), Kristi Lee (FWC), and Kasey Fralick (FWC). Additionally, peer reviewers including Troy Keller and Chester R. Figiel, Jr. provided valuable input into the analysis and reviews of a draft of this document. We appreciate their input and comments, which resulted in a more robust status assessment and final report. Suggested reference: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 2020. Species status assessment report for Procambarus pictus (Black Creek crayfish), Version 1.0. July 2020. Atlanta, Georgia. ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Black Creek crayfish (Procambarus pictus) are small to medium sized crayfish endemic to four northeastern Florida counties (Clay, Duval, Putnam, and St. Johns) in the Lower St. Johns River Basin. Black Creek crayfish rely on cool, flowing, sand-bottomed, and tannic-stained streams that are highly oxygenated. Locations that fulfill the species’ habitat requirements are typically headwater sections of streams that maintain a constant flow; however, they are found in small and large tributary streams. Within these streams, Black Creek crayfish require aquatic vegetation and debris for shelter with alternation of shaded and open canopy cover where they eat aquatic plants, dead plant and animal material, and detritus.
