  • Groundwater Recharge from a Changing Landscape
    ST. ANTHONY FALLS LABORATORY Engineering, Environmental and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Project Report No. 490 Groundwater Recharge from a Changing Landscape by Timothy Erickson and Heinz G. Stefan Prepared for Minnesota Pollution Control Agency St. Paul, Minnesota May, 2007 Minneapolis, Minnesota The University of Minnesota is committed to the policy that all persons shall have equal access to its programs, facilities, and employment without regard to race, religion, color, sex, national origin, handicap, age or veteran status. 2 Abstract Urban development of rural and natural areas is an important issue and concern for many water resource management organizations and wildlife organizations. Change in groundwater recharge is one of the many effects of urbanization. Groundwater supplies to streams are necessary to sustain cold water organisms such as trout. An investigation of the changes of groundwater recharge associated with urbanization of rural and natural areas was conducted. The Vermillion River watershed, which is both a world class trout stream and on the fringes of the metro area of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, was used for a case study. Substantial changes in groundwater recharge could destroy the cold water habitat of trout. In this report we give first an overview of different methods available to estimate recharge. We then present in some detail two models to quantify the changes in recharge that can be expected in a developing area. We finally apply these two models to a tributary watershed of the Vermillion River. In this report we discuss several techniques that can be used to estimate groundwater recharge: (1) the recession-curve-displacement method and (2) the base-flow-separation method that both use only streamflow records (Rutledge 1993, Lee and Chen 2003); (3) a recharge map developed by the USGS for the state of Minnesota (Lorenz and Delin 2007); (4) a minimal recharge map developed by the Minnesota Geological Survey using statistical methods (Ruhl et al.

  • Lesson 4: Sediment Deposition and River Structures
    LESSON 4: SEDIMENT DEPOSITION AND RIVER STRUCTURES ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What combination of factors both natural and manmade is necessary for healthy river restoration and how does this enhance the sustainability of natural and human communities? GUIDING QUESTION: As rivers age and slow they deposit sediment and form sediment structures, how are sediments and sediment structures important to the river ecosystem? OVERVIEW: The focus of this lesson is the deposition and erosional effects of slow-moving water in low gradient areas. These “mature rivers” with decreasing gradient result in the settling and deposition of sediments and the formation sediment structures. The river’s fast-flowing zone, the thalweg, causes erosion of the river banks forming cliffs called cut-banks. On slower inside turns, sediment is deposited as point-bars. Where the gradient is particularly level, the river will branch into many separate channels that weave in and out, leaving gravel bar islands. Where two meanders meet, the river will straighten, leaving oxbow lakes in the former meander bends. TIME: One class period MATERIALS: . Lesson 4- Sediment Deposition and River Structures.pptx .

  • Acid Sulfate Soil Materials
    Site contamination —acid sulfate soil materials Issued November 2007 EPA 638/07: This guideline has been prepared to provide information to those involved in activities that may disturb acid sulfate soil materials (including soil, sediment and rock), the identification of these materials and measures for environmental management. What are acid sulfate soil materials? Acid sulfate soil materials is the term applied to soils, sediment or rock in the environment that contain elevated concentrations of metal sulfides (principally pyriteFeS2 or monosulfides in the form of iron sulfideFeS), which generate acidic conditions when exposed to oxygen. Identified impacts from this acidity cause minerals in soils to dissolve and liberate soluble and colloidal aluminium and iron, which may potentially impact on human health and the environment, and may also result in damage to infrastructure constructed on acid sulfate soil materials. Drainage of peaty acid sulfate soil material also results in the substantial production of the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O). The oxidation of metal sulfides is a function of natural weathering processes. This process is slow however, and, generally, weathering alone does not pose an environmental concern. The rate of acid generation is increased greatly through human activities which expose large amounts of soil to air (eg via excavation processes). This is most commonly associated with (but not necessarily confined to) mining activities. Soil horizons that contain sulfides are called ‘sulfidic materials’ (Isbell 1996; Soil Survey Staff 2003) and can be environmentally damaging if exposed to air by disturbance. Exposure results in the oxidation of pyrite. This process transforms sulfidic material to sulfuric material when, on oxidation, the material develops a pH 4 or less (Isbell 1996; Soil Survey Staff 2003).

The project has positive environmental impacts consisting of the reduction of erosion and sediment movement into the adjacent waters of the state and improved reliability and resiliency of the adjacent municipal sewer and stormwater systems. This project additionally involves impacts to wetlands and floodplains in the form of permitted wetlands impacts and de minimus floodplain impacts. Otherwise, this project may have been eligible for Categorical Exclusion from detailed environmental review; additionally, the direct and indirect environmental effects of the project are still not significant enough to necessitate an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The Department's environmental review procedures require a 30‐day public comment period following the issuance of a Notice of Intent to Issue a Finding of No Significant Impact. If no public comments received during that period demonstrate that this Notice of Intent is in error, then the Finding of No Significant Impact will become effective.

  • River Dynamics 101 - Fact Sheet River Management Program Vermont Agency of Natural Resources
    River Dynamics 101 - Fact Sheet River Management Program Vermont Agency of Natural Resources Overview In the discussion of river, or fluvial systems, and the strategies that may be used in the management of fluvial systems, it is important to have a basic understanding of the fundamental principals of how river systems work. This fact sheet will illustrate how sediment moves in the river, and the general response of the fluvial system when changes are imposed on or occur in the watershed, river channel, and the sediment supply. The Working River The complex river network that is an integral component of Vermont’s landscape is created as water flows from higher to lower elevations. There is an inherent supply of potential energy in the river systems created by the change in elevation between the beginning and ending points of the river or within any discrete stream reach. This potential energy is expressed in a variety of ways as the river moves through and shapes the landscape, developing a complex fluvial network, with a variety of channel and valley forms and associated aquatic and riparian habitats. Excess energy is dissipated in many ways: contact with vegetation along the banks, in turbulence at steps and riffles in the river profiles, in erosion at meander bends, in irregularities, or roughness of the channel bed and banks, and in sediment, ice and debris transport (Kondolf, 2002). Sediment Production, Transport, and Storage in the Working River Sediment production is influenced by many factors, including soil type, vegetation type and coverage, land use, climate, and weathering/erosion rates.
