Sixteen of these jurisdictions completed the requirements to be considered participating jurisdictions in the plan. The plan profiles ten natural hazards (dam failure, drought, earthquake, extreme heat, flood, levee failure, land subsidence/sinkhole, severe winter weather, tornado/thunderstorm, and wildfire) which threaten lives and property in some, or all, of the participating jurisdictions. Each hazard has been evaluated with regard to its previous occurrence, probability and severity of future occurrence, existing mitigation strategies in place to deal with it, and its potential impact on each jurisdiction. An overall mitigation strategy has been developed through thoughtful consideration of the threats involved and the time, resources, and willpower to mitigate their effects. The goals of this mitigation strategy are: Goal 1: Mitigation Planning - Mitigate effects of future natural hazards throughout the County through public and private action. Goal 2: Mitigation Policy - Develop policies that limit the impact of natural hazards on lives and property. Goal 3: Mitigation Programs - Implement cost effective and feasible mitigation programs to protect lives and property of Boone County jurisdictions. Goal 4: Public Awareness - Increase public awareness of natural hazards in order to make the public a greater partner in hazard mitigation planning. Goal 5: Future Development - Promote hazard-proof development in the jurisdictions of Boone County. Specific mitigation actions have been developed and prioritized by each participating jurisdiction to further the goals of the overall mitigation strategy. The Boone County Hazard Mitigation Plan will be adopted by resolution of each of the participating jurisdictions. Participation in, and formal adoption of, this plan qualifies a jurisdiction to apply for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) pre-disaster mitigation grants and the mitigation portion of post-disaster mitigation grants. The plan will be updated in five years, as required by FEMA. It will be evaluated and maintained on a yearly basis prior to this update. Mid-MO RPC | Boone County Hazard Mitigation Plan 2010 1 Prerequisites Multi-Jurisdictional Plan Adoption Requirement For multi-jurisdictional plans, each jurisdiction requesting approval §201.6(c)(5): of the plan must document that it has been formally adopted. Adoption resolutions for the participating jurisdictions are included in Appendix A. The adoption resolution for the Village of Harrisburg, along with all jurisdiction specific information for Harrisburg, is included in Appendix I. Mid-MO RPC | Boone County Hazard Mitigation Plan 2010 2 Section 1: Introduction and Planning Process 1.1 Purpose The Boone County Hazard Mitigation Plan is designed as a resource for county and municipal governments, residents, developers, organizations, and others interested in controlling the potentially disastrous effects of natural hazards in Boone County. Each year natural hazards take a great toll in the United States. Boone County is not immune; it is subject to numerous natural hazards which can threaten life and property. A well-conceived mitigation strategy, developed through an inclusive and thoughtful planning process, is an important step in protecting citizens and reducing loss. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) defines mitigation as “sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and their property from hazards and their effects.” A 2006 study by the Institute for Building Science found that $4 was saved in post- disaster response and recovery for every $1 spent on pre-disaster mitigation. The Boone County Hazard Mitigation Plan was developed by the communities and citizens of Boone County, their elected officials and public servants. The process was carried out by identifying the natural hazards that impact Boone County and its residents, assessing the probability of occurrence and severity posed by each hazard, identifying the most vulnerable areas, and evaluating all possible mitigation actions which might be effective. Potential mitigation actions were assessed and prioritized based on the perceived need, probable outcome, potential for being executed, and benefit related to cost. The plan was developed in accordance with FEMA’s Mitigation Planning regulations under Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 44, Part 201.6, Local Mitigation Plans. Relevant requirements from CFR §201.6 are highlighted throughout the plan. Multiple jurisdictions within Boone County participated in the development of this plan. Having a current and approved hazard mitigation plan makes each of the participating jurisdictions eligible to apply for FEMA pre-disaster mitigation grants and the mitigation portion of post- disaster mitigation grants.

Redei Columbia, Missouri 19 7 3 VOLUME 5 OF THE STADLER SYMPOSIA IS DEDICATED TO PROFESSOR ALBERT E. LONGLEY ON HIS 80TH BIRTHDAY BY THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE OF THE SYMPOSIA A. EISENSTARK, C. S. GOWANS, G. KIMBER , R. L. LARSON, H. A. MCQUADE, M. G. NEUFFER, G. P. REDEi, E. R. SEARS AND A. F. YANDERS -3- PREFACE The Fifth Stadler Genetics Symposium had an attendance of over 171; 85 of the out-of-town guests represented 19 states. The First Stadler Symposium took place five years ago when the continuation of this program was in serious doubt. The Symposia are firmly established now thanks to the world­ wide interest of geneticists in this program. We are happy having been able to make available these proceedings at the original modest price and we are gratified by the number of orders received from individuals, libraries and book sellers from all parts of the world. At several schools the material became a text or supplement to advanced instruction in genetics. If there is sufficient interest, the Independent Study Department of the University of Missouri will offer these lectures for credit through correspondence to all qualified off-campus students too under the title "Genetics in Progress." Inquiries can be sent to Prof. G. P. Redei, 117 Curtis Hall, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri, 65201. The 6th Symposium is tentatively scheduled for April 19-20, 1974. We plan to distribute the detailed program by the end of the year.

    PlistoriosLl 3R,e*v-ie"W" The State Historical Society of Missouri COLUMBIA, MISSOURI COVER DESCRIPTION: The front-cover illustration is a reproduc­ tion of George Caleb Bingham's portrait of John Woods Harris. Moving in 1817 from Madison County, Kentucky, to Thrall's Prairie in western Boone County, Missouri, Harris became a prominent merchant and agriculturalist. Harris experimented in agriculture and continually enlarged, improved and developed his farm. In 1873 the St. Louis Agricultural and Mechanical Association awarded Harris's farm the title of "Model Farm of Missouri." Harris also engaged in the mercantile business in Columbia, Rocheport and Middle Grove. He won election as Boone Coun­ ty's representative to the Missouri legislature in 1860 and 1864. Harris also served on the University of Missouri's board of curators. George Caleb Bingham, a friend of Harris, completed this portrait in 1837. Mrs. William Jackson Hendrick, a daughter of Harris, presented the portrait to the State Historical Society in 1923. The Harris portrait, along with fourteen other portraits, one landscape, two genre paintings, four engravings, two litho­ graphs and numerous sketches presently are being displayed in the Society's Art Gallery. This exhibit commemorates the 100th anniversary of Bingham's death. The State Historical Society Art Gallery is open to the public 8:00 A.M.-4:30 P.M., Monday-Friday, excepting legal holi­ days.

Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) is one of the grants, which provides dedicated, discretionary funding for projects that address critical issues facing our nation’s highways and bridges. In July 2019, MoDOT was awarded an $81 million INFRA grant towards the replacement of the Interstate 70 (I-70) Missouri River bridge at Rocheport. As a result, MoDOT is preparing to replace the bridge. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and MoDOT’s Engineering Policy Guide (EPG) requires a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) re-evaluation when there has been greater than 3 years since the original NEPA approval, or when changes related to the original study have occurred. The original NEPA approval – an Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) – was made in 2005. Due to the amount of time that has passed since the initial evaluation and the more defined project limits, a NEPA re-evaluation of the previous studies for the Rocheport bridge is required and will be prepared in compliance with NEPA. Background The I-70 Corridor One of the most important limited-access highways across the United States is I-70, which provides an east-west connection across much of the United States.

This extension would result in the need to extend parallel Taxiway A, acquire 52 acres of land for the associated runway protection zone and navigational aids, and relocate a segment of Route H. The Proposed Action also includes the relocation of runway pavement and 1,099-foot extension of Runway 13/31 for a total length of 5,500 feet. This component would result in extending parallel Taxiway B and realigning a segment of South Rangeline Road. In addition, other airside and landside components of the Proposed Action include: the rehabilitation or reconstruction of airfield pavement, construction of connector Taxiway A5, widening of Taxiway A4, rehabilitating the south apron area, expanding the apron between Taxiways A2 and A3, infield drainage improvements, and expanding the auto parking lot.

It also was a blighted area subjected to urban renewal, JENNIFE BY and an area where grand development proj- otos H ects were shot down.

Historically, many cities have been organized along waterways.
