  • Fishes of the Ohio River1
    Fishes of the Ohio River1 WILLIAM D. PEARSON and B. JUANELLE PEARSON, Water Resources Laboratory, University of Louisville, Louisville, KY 40292 and Biology De- partment, Spalding University, Louisville, KY 40203 ABSTRACT. To date, 159 species of fishes (14 of them introduced by humans) have been reported from the Ohio River. Three native fishes {Acipenser fulvescens, Alosa alabamae, and Ammocrypta asprella) have appar- ently been eliminated from the river. The Ohio River fish community was severely affected by the siltation of clean gravel substrates, and the inundation of those substrates by the canalization of the river before 1927. In the past 20-30 years, populations of many species have increased, particularly in the upper third of the river. Some pollution-intolerant species which had disappeared from the upper reaches of the river between 1900 and 1950 have been returning since 1970 (e.g. Polyodon spathula, Hiodon tergisus, and Carpiodes velifer). A few pollution-tolerant species have declined in abundance since 1970 (e.g. bullheads and Ictalurus catus). The most abundant fishes in the lock chamber samples of 1957-87 were Notropis atherinoides, Doro- soma cepedianum, Aplodinotus grunniens, Notropis volucellus, and Ictalurus punctatus. The ongoing recovery of the Ohio River fish community should encourage us to take additional steps to protect the river from catastrophic spills of toxic materials and to reintroduce eliminated native fishes.

SCI. 89(5): 181-187, 1989 INTRODUCTION The Ohio River and its geologic predecessors, as parts 1820), Lesueur three (between 1817 and 1818), and Ab- of the Mississippi Drainage, have provided continuous bott only Lampetra aepyptera (in I860).

  • Perfect Place to Pedal
    Perfect place to pedal Unchallenging terrain of Pennsylvania trail offers beautiful views, chance to see animals By Bob Downing, Beacon Journal staff writer Published on Sunday, June 13, 2010 The Allegheny River Trail stretches 34.2 miles north-south next to the Allegheny River in western Pennsylvania. (photo by Bob Downing) BELMAR, Pa.: The Sandy Creek Trail is one of the prettiest rail trails you will ever find. It's also where I ran into an unusual critter: a porcupine. That's not something you will find in Ohio, unless it is in a zoo. The quilled creature was munching on plants along the trail. I pedaled up and got a close look at the scraggly and bedraggled little porcupine as it waddled away. I took its picture without getting stuck with quills, but it was obvious that the porcupine was very glad to see me get back on my bike and pedal off. Welcome to the wild Penn's Woods country along the Sandy Creek Trail in northwestern Pennsylvania. The 12-mile bike-and-hike trail near Franklin features one spectacular trestle, an old tunnel and seven bridges over the splashy and wild East Sandy Creek. The wood-decked trestle over the Allegheny River is 1,385 feet long and about 80 feet above the river. From atop the Belmar Bridge, you can see a long, long way and almost kiss the clouds. A pair of white-headed adult bald eagles flapped overhead in search of dead fish for a meal. The bridge was built in 1907 by local oil man Charles Miller and John D.

  • 2) Management Plan Augmentation Technical
    Oil Region National Heritage Area Plan Augmentation - 12/18/06 2. Background to the Plan 2.1. Evolution and Scope of the Oil Region Heritage Area The Governor of Pennsylvania designated the Oil Heritage Region as an official Pennsylvania Heritage Park in 1994. The Oil Region is one of several Pennsylvania Heritage Parks that is part of a state-wide program whose purpose is to preserve Pennsylvania’s rich industrial heritage and to use heritage resources as catalysts for community pride and revitalization. 2.1.1. Establishment of the Oil Region National Heritage Area Federal Public Law 108-447 (enacted in December, 2004), Division J, Title VI, 118 Stat. 2809 officially designated Pennsylvania’s Oil Heritage Region as a National Heritage Area. The legislation describes the steps necessary to fully activate this new National Heritage Area, including updating its Management Plan, preparing an Environmental Assessment in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act, and compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act. 2.1.2. Brief Description of the ORNHA, including Boundaries The Oil Heritage Region is one of the most authentic and powerful of the heritage areas in the United States. The form and culture of this region bear the imprint of the oil industry: from the town centers that were developed with oil profits to the oil leases and equipment that dot the landscape and are often plainly visible from the road. The story of oil is interpreted in many venues, ranging from the state-operated Drake Well Museum (including a National Historic Landmark on the site where the initial well was drilled) to small locally managed museums and collections.
