Date May 28, 2013 Preamble The Great Rivers Sub-Area Contingency Plan (GRSACP) is a collaborative effort of federal and state agencies, emergency managers, and local emergency responders from within the geographic area surrounding the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. This Plan is not intended to supplant any local, state, regional, or national level response or contingency plan. Rather, it should be reviewed in conjunction with the relevant regional, state, and local plans. It is designed as a tool and source of information for first responders facing the unique physical conditions and blend of governmental jurisdictions within the Great Rivers Sub-Area. The Sub-Area includes the following counties: • In Arkansas: Mississippi County • In Illinois: Alexander, Hardin, Jackson, Massac, Pope, Pulaski, Randolph, and Union Counties • In Kentucky: Ballard, Carlisle, Crittenden, Fulton, Hickman, Livingston, McCracken, Marshall, and Union Counties • In Missouri: The Bootheel Local Emergency Planning District (LEPD) (Dunklin, Mississippi, New Madrid, Pemiscot, Scott, and Stoddard Counties); Southeast Missouri LEPD (Bollinger, Cape Girardeau, Madison, Iron, Perry, Saint Francois, and Sainte Genevieve Counties); and Ozark Foothills LEPD (Butler, Carter, Reynolds, Ripley, and Wayne Counties) • In Tennessee: Lake, Dyer, and Lauderdale Counties. A map of the Great Rivers Sub-Area is shown on Figure 1. This plan will be updated annually. More frequent revisions could occur if developments warrant. Corrections or suggestions may be submitted using the Corrections and Updates Form in Appendix I, or by e-mail to the contact(s) listed on Page i.

ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), open seven National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs) that are currently closed to hunting and sport fishing. In addition, we expand hunting and sport fishing at 70 other NWRs, and add pertinent station-specific regulations for other NWRs that pertain to migratory game bird hunting, upland game hunting, big game hunting, and sport fishing for the 2019–2020 season. We also formally open 15 units of the National Fish Hatchery System to hunting and sport fishing. We also add pertinent station- specific regulations that pertain to migratory game bird hunting, upland game hunting, big game hunting, and sport fishing at these 15 National Fish Hatcheries (NFHs) for the 2019–2020 season. This rule includes global administrative updates to every NWR entry in our refuge- specific regulations and the reorganization of general public use regulations. We remove approximately 2,100 regulations that will have no impact on the administration of hunting and sport fishing within the National Wildlife Refuge System. We also simplify over 2,900 refuge- specific regulations to comply with a Presidential mandate to adhere to plain language standards 1 and to reduce the regulatory burden on the public.

Shawnee National Forest Forest Plan FEIS Appendix A – Forest Plan Revision Issues and Public Involvement APPENDIX A FOREST PLAN REVISION ISSUES AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT I. INTRODUCTION The first SNF Land and Resource Management Plan (Plan) was approved on November 24, 1986. In 1988, following 23 administrative appeals, the Forest met with appellants and reached a settlement agreement. Significant changes in the Plan resulted in an amended Forest Plan signed in 1992. A lawsuit on nine counts was filed against the Plan in 1994. The court ruled in favor of the Forest Service on five counts and in favor of the plaintiffs on four. The court remanded the entire Plan, but allowed implementation, enjoining specific activities, including commercial, hardwood-timber harvest, ATV trail designation and oil and gas development.

  • Illinois Geography Lapbook Can Help You to Further Explore the Wonderful State of Illinois
    Creating an Illinois Geography Lapbook can help you to further explore the wonderful state of Illinois. Basic instructions on creating a lapbook are available at the bottom of this page along with templates and images for use in your lapbook. Geography is more than just the physical make up of a location, it is also about the people, their interaction with the environment and nature. I hope to have touched on each of these in some way in this lapbook study. How to Use This Page You will find many facts and interesting items on this page and on the Illinois Geography page. There is too much information to include in a beginning lapbook session. Take a few minutes to first pick what you feel is important for your student to know or what might be interesting to him or her. I recommend no more than one or two items from each category per lapbooking session. The option to expand on this topic is always there but cover what you believe is important first. THEN Do activities that relate to the topic, for example the State dance is a Square Dance. Look up online the basic Square Dance steps and try them or take a Square Dancing class. Follow up by putting a dance diagram in the lapbook. Be creative in trying new things and experiment with more than the templates. If your child is artistic, let her/him draw. If your child learns by hands-on activities make an invention. Is your child musically inclined, sing the state song.

    In the mid-1800s when much of the nation was infected with "California gold fever," the people of Missouri were just beginning to explore and map the state's natural resources. There had been no gold strike in Missouri, but our state was the gateway for westward expansion and many people chose to stake their claim in Missouri. It was already known for the fertile agricultural assets of its northern half, the giant springs and forested splendor of its Ozark region, and the rich promise of its lead and iron resources. But for the most part, little else was known about the state's geological, mineralogical and water resources. "On the 12th day of April last, I had the honor of receiving a Commission from the Governor of Missouri, directing me to make a thorough geological and mineralogical survey of this state," said George C. Swallow in 1853. Missouri's first state geologist, Swallow was further directed "to discover ÷ all beds or deposits of ore, coal, marls and such other mineral substances and mineral waters as may be useful or valuable." The endeavors of Swallow, with the support of the Missouri Legislature, spawned one of the oldest state agencies in the Midwest ç the Missouri Geological Survey. It is now 150 years old and known as the Geological Survey and Resource Assessment Division (GSRAD) of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Although its name has changed several times over the decades, its mission to serve Missouri in the best interests of its citizens has not wavered. Its work has become a foundation for land use and water protection.
