  • Kark's Canoeing and Kayaking Guide to 309 Wisconsin Streams
    Kark's Canoeing and Kayaking Guide to 309 Wisconsin Streams By Richard Kark May 2015 Introduction A Badger Stream Love Affair My fascination with rivers started near my hometown of Osage, Iowa on the Cedar River. High school buddies and I fished the river and canoe-camped along its lovely limestone bluffs. In 1969 I graduated from St. Olaf College in Minnesota and soon paddled my first Wisconsin stream. With my college sweetheart I spent three days and two nights canoe- camping from Taylors Falls to Stillwater on the St. Croix River. “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond blared from our transistor radio as we floated this lovely stream which was designated a National Wild and Scenic River in 1968. Little did I know I would eventually explore more than 300 other Wisconsin streams. In the late 1970s I was preoccupied by my medical studies in Milwaukee but did find the time to explore some rivers. I recall canoeing the Oconto, Chippewa, Kickapoo, “Illinois Fox,” and West Twin Rivers during those years. Several of us traveled to the Peshtigo River and rafted “Roaring Rapids” with a commercial company. At the time I could not imagine riding this torrent in a canoe. We also rafted Piers Gorge on the Menomonee River. Our guide failed to avoid Volkswagen Rock over Mishicot Falls. We flipped and I experienced the second worst “swim” of my life. Was I deterred from whitewater? Just the opposite, it seems. By the late 1970s I was a practicing physician, but I found time for Wisconsin rivers. In 1979 I signed up for the tandem whitewater clinic run by the River Touring Section of the Sierra Club’s John Muir Chapter.

Appendix C: BACM and MSM for Stationary and Area Sources 2015 Plan for the 1997 PM2.5 Standard San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District April 16, 2015 Appendix C: BACM and MSM for Stationary and Area Sources C.i Introduction The San Joaquin Valley (Valley) faces significant challenges in meeting National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (District) has demonstrated leadership in developing and implementing groundbreaking regulatory strategies to reduce emissions. Tough and innovative rules, such as those for indirect source review, residential wood burning, glass manufacturing, and agricultural burning, have set benchmarks for California and the nation. Multiple regulatory control measures have been adopted under the District’s air quality attainment plans that reduce particulate matter (PM) that is 2.5 microns or less in diameter (PM2.5), including but not limited to commitments made in the 2007 Ozone Plan, 2008 PM2.5 Plan, 2012 PM2.5 Plan, and 2013 Plan for the Revoked 1-Hour Ozone Standard.

  • Updated Source Water Assessment
    Updated Source Water Assessment Seaside Water Department PWS #4100799 July 5, 2016 Prepared for: City of Seaside Prepared by: Department of Environmental Quality regon Agency Headquarters Wa ter Quality Program 81] SW Sixlh Avenue, Suite 600 Pm lland, OR 97204-1390 503-229-5696 (FAX) 503-229-6037 July 5, 2016 1TY711 Seaside Water Department Dale McDowell, Public Works Director 989 Broadway Seaside, Oregon 97138 Re: Updated Source Water Assessment for PWS # 4l00799 Dea r Director McDowell, On behalf of the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is pleased to provide your community with important information in this Updat ed Source Wat er Assessment. Th e updated assessment is intended to provide information and resources to assist you and your community to implement local drinking water protection efforts. Since the first sou rce water assessments were completed in 2005, state agencies have significantly expanded analytica l ca pabilities, including more detailed data for analyzing natural characteristics and potential pollutant sources. DEQ is currently completing the updated assessments for surface water systems and OHA is updating the groundwat er syst em assessments. As you know, assuring safe drinking water depends on public w ater suppliers implementing multiple successful practices. First, protect the drinking water source. Second, practice effective water treatment. Third, conduct regular monit oring for conta minants to assure safety. Fourth, protect the distribution system piping and finished wa ter storage from recontamination. Finally, practice competent water system operation, maintenance, and construction. These practices are collectively called "multiple barrier public health protection" . Source water protection is an important first step because starting with the best possible quality source water helps assure that water treatment can be effective at all t imes.

    Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Urban Runoff – Sources, Sinks and Treatment: A Review Prepared by: Giridhar Prabhukumar, PhD Student Prof. Krishna Pagilla, Ph.D., P.E. Department of Civil, Architectural & Environmental Engineering Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, IL Prepared for: DuPage River Salt Creek Workgroup, Naperville, IL October, 2010 About the DRSCW The East & West Branches of the DuPage River and Salt Creek are located in Northeastern Illinois, including portions of Cook, DuPage and Will Counties. In response to concerns about the East & West Branch DuPage River TMDLs and the Salt Creek TMDL, a local group of communities, POTWs and environmental organizations have come together to better determine the stressors to the aquatic systems through a long term water quality monitoring program and develop and implement viable remediation projects. Because of the similarities of water quality issues, development patterns and multiple agency/organizational overlap this group will address both watersheds simultaneously. For more information, please contact: Stephen McCracken The Conservation Foundation 10 S 404 Knoch Knolls Road, Naperville, IL 60565 Phone: (630) 768 7427 or (630) 428 4500 ext 18 Fax: (630) 428 4599 www.drscw.org ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We thank the DuPage River Salt Creek Workgroup (DRSCW) for this opportunity and for funding this review work.
