  • Kansas Resource Management Plan and Record of Decision
    United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Tulsa District Oklahoma Resource Area September 1991 KANSAS RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN Dear Reader: This doCument contains the combined Kansas Record of Decision (ROD) and Resource Management Plan (RMP). The ROD and RMP are combined to streamline our mandated land-use-planning requirements and to provide the reader with a useable finished product. The ROD records the decisions of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for administration of approximately 744,000 acres of Federal mineral estate within the Kansas Planning Area. The Planning Area encompasses BLM adm in i sterad sp 1 it-estate mi nera 1 s and Federa 1 minerals under Federal surface administered by other Federal Agencies within the State of Kansas. The Kansas RMP and appendices provide direction and guidance to BLM Managers in the formulation of decisions effecting the management of Federal mineral estate within the planning area for the next 15 years. The Kansas RMP was extracted from the Proposed Kansas RMP/FIES. The issuance of this ROD and RMP completes the BLM land use planning process for the State of Kansas. We now move to implementation of the plan. We wish to thank all the individuals and groups who participated in this effort these past two years, without their help we could not have completed this process. er~ 1_' Area Manager Oklahoma Resource Area RECORD OF DECISION on the Proposed Kansas Resource Management Plan and Final Environmental Impact Statement September 1991 RECORD OF DECISION The decision is hereby made to approve the proposed decision as described in the Proposed Kansas Resource Management Plan/Final Env ironmental Impact Statement (RMP/FEIS July 1991), MANAGEMENT CONSZOERATXONS The decision to approve the Proposed Plan is based on: (1) the input received from the public, other Federal and state agencies; (2) the environmental analysis for the alternatives considered in the Draft RMP/Oraft EIS, as we11 as the Proposed Kansas RMP/FEIS.

  • Marais Des Cygnes National Wildlife Refuge Lies Within the Plattelkansas Rivers Ecosystem (As Delineated by the Service)
    RESOURCEIREFUGE DESCRIPTION Geographic Ecosystem Setting In order to more effectively fulfill its mission, the Service has adopted an Ecosystem approach to fish and wildlife conservation (see Map 2). The characteristics ofthis approach include the preservation of natural biological diversity and ecosystem health while supporting a sustainable level ofeconomic and recreational activity. Management decisions, in keeping with this policy. will incorporate any pertinent biological and socioeconomic parameters within the Basin boundaries. Additionally, the Refuge will concentrate on coordination with partners for the conservation ofthe natural biodiversity and general health ofthe ecosystem. The Marais des Cygnes National Wildlife Refuge lies within the PlattelKansas Rivers ecosystem (as delineated by the Service). The goal for this ecosystem is to "protect viable areas, improve those that are faltering, and restore those habitats critical to the river system." The four main areas offocus for the Refuge are: - completing acquisition - participation with landowners in bottomland hardwood conservation - public education and communication and - protection and restoration of species as mandated by Federal law, such as migratory birds and endangered and threatened species. Location The Refuge contains 9,300 acres between U.S. Highway 69 and the Missouri state line on either side ofthe Marais des Cygnes River (see Map 1). Immediately west ofthe Refuge is the 7,500 acre Marais des Cygnes Wildlife Management Area, administered by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. The Marais des Cygnes Wildlife Management Area, located six miles north ofthe town ofPleasanton, includes bottomland hardwoods habitat, managed waterfowl impoundments and moist soil agricultural units. Upstream and to the northwest ofthe state­ owned area are a number ofprivate and corporate ownerships.

  • Final Copy of 4 Mussels Recovery Plan
    Recovery plan for freshwater mussels in southeast Kansas PREFACE The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) is required to develop recovery plans for all state-listed threatened and endangered species under the authority of K.S.A. 32- 960(a). The concept of developing state recovery plans for Kansas' endangered, threatened, and SINC species (species in need of conservation) was conceived by the Kansas Nongame and Endangered Species Task Force, which was created by passage of substitute Senate bill No. 473 during the 1996 Legislative Session. The Task Force, which consisted of 17 members1, met six times during the summer and fall of 1996. Issues and concerns addressed by the Task Force included listing procedures for endangered, threatened, and SINC species, incentives for affected property owners, recovery and conservation plans, and funding. After receiving the Task Force's report, the 1997 legislature enacted into law the Task Force’s recommendations by amending existing state laws and by enacting new laws (H.B. No. 2361). As part of that legislation, KDWP was required to implement several of the measures through regulation. Regulatory language addressing these measures was drafted by Department staff and presented to the KDWP Commission and the public. These recommendations were approved by the Commission in the fall of 1997. A new regulation, K.A.R. 115-15-4, outlined procedures to establish recovery plans 2. These procedures included the appointment of an advisory group to evaluate recovery plan development priority. The advisory group determined that the highest priority was the immediate development of a joint recovery plan for four threatened and endangered mussel species that occur in southeast Kansas.

  • Reallocation of Water Supply Storage Project: John Redmond Lake, Kansas

The intent of design and construction was to provide flood control, water conservation, recreation, and water supply for communities along the Neosho River in southeastern Kansas. The John Redmond Project is also operated for wildlife purposes. Up to the time of construction the Neosho River had flooded 57 times in 34 years of recorded history. The project was renamed John Redmond Dam and Reservoir by an act of congress in 1958, to posthumously honor John Redmond, publisher of the Burlington Daily Republican newspaper, and one of the first to champion the need for flood control and water conservation along the Neosho River. Dam construction by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) was undertaken between 1959 and 1964, at a site west of Burlington, Kansas. Water storage began during September 1964, collecting drainage from an approximately 3,015-square mile drainage basin.
