  • ALEXANDER FARIBAULT 177 Body, for Your Acceptance, to Be Disposed of in Such Manner As Your Wisdom May Suggest
    1927 ALEXANDER FARIBAULT 177 body, for your acceptance, to be disposed of in such manner as your wisdom may suggest. The slab is about two and a half feet in length, and a little over one and a half in breadth, and two inches in thickness. According to a report made in 1855, Minnesota was one of two territories which had " contributed a block of marble or stone, inscribed with its arms or some suitable inscription or device " to be built into the Washington Monument. In ad­ dition, every state and many foreign nations had sent stones. The Indians looked upon the pipestone quarry as sacred ground and they objected to having the whites visit it. Until 1836 only a few traders had seen it. In that year George Cat­ lin, the famous artist, made his way to the quarry despite the protests of the Indians, and he wrote the first account of it. This is published in Catlin's Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs, and Condition of the North American Indians, 2: 166-176 (London and New York, 1841). A brief account of Catlin's Minnesota visit appears in Dr. Folwell's History of Minnesota, i: 119-121. Dr. Folwell records that "A speci­ men of the red pipestone was sent by Catlin to a Boston chem­ ist, who after analysis pronounced it to be a new mineral compound and gave it the name ' catlinite.' " By this name it still is known. B. L. H. ALEXANDER FARIBAULT Can you give me some information about the career of Alex­ ander Faribault, in whose honor the city of Faribault was named ? ^ According to the manuscript census schedules of Minnesota for the year 1850 Alexander Faribault was at the time forty- four years of age and a native of Minnesota.

Interested borrowers should contact their lender or call RFA at (651) 201-6004. For more information go to the RFA's website. New law to get more mercury out of the waste stream takes effect Starting August 1, Minnesota state law prohibits disposing of any mercury-containing product, such as fluorescent bulbs, mercury thermometers, and some thermostats, in the garbage or down the drain. Instead, residents should take unwanted items to any household hazardous waste facility, where most mercury- containing products will be accepted at no charge (some facilities do charge a small amount for fluorescent lamps).

Some of the parcels have been mined in the past or are currently being mined for sand and gravel limestone resources. As currently defined, the Merriam Junction Sands (MJS) project is not considered to be a federal undertaking as defined by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, and its implementing regulations (36CRF 800). If future information indicates the action is a federal undertaking this report may serve as a basis for additional study. The MJS project is subject to regulations associated with several permits from various government units, as shown in Table 1. Summit Envirosolutions, Inc. (Summit) was previously retained in June 2011 by Sunde Engineering, PPLC (Sunde) on behalf of the previous project owner, to complete a Phase I cultural resources investigation of the project area. In 2015, Sunde contracted with Summit on behalf of MJS to update the earlier Phase I study to reflect the current project.

  • C1. Nitrate Trends in Minnesota Rivers
    C1. Nitrate Trends in Minnesota Rivers Authors: Dave Wall and Dave Christopherson, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Dave Lorenz and Gary Martin, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Statistical Analyses: Directed by Dave Lorenz and conducted by Dave Christopherson and Gary Martin Objective Regular sampling of river and stream water for nitrate began at numerous sites on Minnesota’s rivers during the mid-1970s, and many of these sites continued to be monitored through 2008-2011. A few of these sites were previously assessed for nitrogen (N) load and concentration temporal trends, as is reported in Chapter C2. However, most sites have either not been assessed for nitrate trends or have been studied for trends using a shorter period of time and different statistical methods compared to this study. The objective of this study was to assess long-term trends (30 to 35 years) of flow-adjusted concentrations of nitrite+nitrate-N (hereinafter referred to as nitrate) in a way that would allow us to discern changing trends. Recognizing that these trends are commonly different from one river to another river and from one part of the state to another, our objective was to examine as many river monitoring sites across the state as possible for which sufficient long term streamflow and concentration data were available. The nitrate concentration parameter was chosen for trend analyses for the following reasons: · Nitrate is the dominant form of N in most streams with elevated total nitrogen (TN) concentrations (see Chapter B2). · Nitrate can have adverse human and aquatic-life impacts at high concentrations (see Chapter A2).

  • Blue Earth River Watershed
    Minnesota River Basin 2010 Progress Report Blue Earth River Watershed BLUE EARTH RIVER WATERSHED Part of the Greater Blue Earth River Basin, which also includes the Le Sueur River and Watonwan River watersheds, the Blue Earth River Watershed is characterized by a terrain of gently rolling prairie and glacial moraine with river valleys and ravines cut into the landscape. The Blue Earth River Watershed drains approximately 1,550 square miles or 992,034 acres with a total of 775,590 acres located in Minnesota and the rest in Iowa. Located in the intensive row-crop agriculture areas of south central Minnesota, this watershed carries one of the highest nutrient loads in the Minnesota River Basin. Major tributaries are the East, Middle and West branches, Elm and Center creeks along with smaller streams, public and private drainage systems, lakes and wetlands. Fairmont is the largest city in the Blue Earth River Watershed with part of the City of Mankato Monitoring the Blue Earth River flowing into the river as it meets the Minnesota River. 16. 15.

  • Minnesota River Basin Trends
    Minnesota River Basin TRENDS Minnesota River near Redwood Falls by Brian Peterson, Star Tribune Star Brian Peterson, by Falls near Redwood Minnesota River Dear Reader This is the first Minnesota River Trends document. The purpose of this report is to provide a broad overview of trends related to the state of the Minnesota River. It is meant to be easy-to-read overview that summarizes some of the major demographic, land use, water quality, biological and recreational trends in the Minnesota River Basin over the past 10 to 100 years depending on data availability. In a few cases, where an analysis of change over time was not possible, the report includes information on current conditions. The indicators included in the following report were prioritized by a group of agency representatives and citizens with the hopes of providing some clues of broader ecosystem health across the Minnesota River Basin. What you will discover in this document is a mixed story—research shows some indicators improving, some declining, some static. We hope that this document will provide insight into this dynamic, complex and varied river basin. The river has been studied extensively and is managed by a number of different agencies and organizations for a variety of purposes. The report draws data from researchers across many diverse fields. Thanks to our many project cooperators (see list on back page). If you want to learn more, a rich resource list used to develop this report is available online http://mrbdc.mnsu.edu/mnbasin/trends As you will see, many actions and projects have been put in place to try to understand and improve the water quality across the basin.
