Proposed Rule

ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to designate critical habitat for the Big Sandy crayfish (Cambarus callainus) and the Guyandotte River crayfish (C. veteranus) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). In total, approximately 582 stream kilometers (skm) (362 stream miles (smi)) in Martin and Pike Counties, Kentucky; Buchanan, Dickenson, and Wise Counties, Virginia; and McDowell, Mingo, and Wayne Counties, West Virginia, are proposed as critical habitat for the Big Sandy crayfish. Approximately 135 skm (84 smi) in Logan and Wyoming Counties, West Virginia, are proposed as critical habitat for the Guyandotte River crayfish. If we finalize this rule as proposed, it would extend the Act’s protections to these species’ critical habitat. We also announce the availability of a draft economic analysis of the proposed designation of critical habitat for these species. DATES: We will accept comments on the proposed rule or draft economic analysis (DEA) that are received or postmarked on or before [INSERT DATE 60 DAYS AFTER DATE OF 1 PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]. Comments submitted electronically using the Federal eRulemaking Portal (see ADDRESSES, below) must be received by 11:59 p.m.

Utilization of Detonation Cord to Pre-Split Pennsylvanian Aged Sandstone and Shale, Grundy, Virginia
Utilization of Detonation Cord to Pre-split Pennsylvanian Aged Sandstone and Shale, Grundy, Virginia Steven S. Spagna, L.G., Project Geologist U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Huntington District Figure 1. Upstream end of the Grundy Redevelopment Site Project Summary During Summer 2001, the U.S Army Corps of Engineers awarded a contract to the construction firm of Bush and Burchett of Allen, Kentucky, for the purpose of developing a 13 acre redevelopment site by removing approximately 2.5 million cubic yards of rock (fig. 1). The Redevelopment Site will be the future home for a large portion of the City of Grundy, Virginia. Additional work items include the construction and relocation of 3,000 feet of the Norfolk Southern railroad bed, the placement of 95,000 cubic yards of fill and the placement of 16,000 cubic yards of stone slope protection along the Levisa Fork River. Bush and Burchett received a notice to proceed with construction in July 2001. Currently, the contract is near completion. Current activities include: hauling of material from the Redevelopment Site to the disposal area; placing fill material on the Redevelopment Site, and placing Stone Slope Protection (SSP) along the Levisa Fork river. Approximately one year into the construction highly weathered rock, degraded to near soil-like condition, was encountered in the upstream portion of the excavation. Over one-third of the original cutslope was adjusted and the blasting specifications had to be amended to provide solutions for the material that was encountered in this area. Grundy, Virginia Figure 2. Project Location Map Authorization of Project Located along the banks of the Levisa Fork River, below the 100-year flood elevation, the town of Grundy has been plagued with flooding for years.

A Brief Study of the Levisa Fork and Russell Fork Of
A BRIEF STUDY OF THE LEVISA FORK AND RUSSELL FORK OF THE BIG SANDY RIVER by James B. Kirkwood INTRODUCTION The Levisa Fork of the Big Sandy River arises in Buchanan County', Virginia, and flows northwestward through Pike County, Floyd County, Johnson County and into Lawrence County, Kentucky, where the direction of flow becomes northward. The confluence of the Levisa Fork and Tug Fork at Louisa, Kentucky, forms the Big Sandy River which flows into the Ohio River at Catlettsburg, Kentucky. The Big Sandy River drains parts of Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia. The basin covers an area of 4,281 square miles, of which 2,280 square miles are in Kentucky. Levisa Fork was chosen for study because of its importance as a fishing stream. Numerous centers of population are located along this stream. Accord- ing to the 1952 edition of the Rand McNally Reference Map, populations of the major centers were; Paintsville in Johnson County with a population of 4309, Prestonsburg in Floyd County with 3585 population, Pikeville in Pike County with 5154 population, and Elkhorn City, located on Russell Fork in Pike County, with 1349 population. The major tributaries of the Levisa Fork are: Paint Creek arising in Morgan and Magof fin Counties, Kentucky and entering Levisa Fork at Paintsville; John's Creek, on which Dewey Lake was formed, arises in Pike County and enters Levisa Fork near Prestonsburg; Beaver Creek begins in Knott County, Kentucky and enters Levisa Fork near Martin, Kentucky; Mud Creek is located entirely in Floyd County; Shelby Creek is located in Pike County; Russell Fork, which is reported on in this study, starts in Virginia and flows northwestward to its confluence with Levisa Fork at Millard, Kentucky.
