Draft statement to CEQ 8 June 1972 Final statement to CEQ 6 UU1 ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT FOR CAMP GROUND LAKE SALT RIVER BASIN, KENTUCKY 1. Project Description. The Canp Ground Lake project would consist of the construction and operation of a dan, lake and other facilities for recreation, flood control, water quality control, water supply, fish and wildlife conser­ vation, and redevelopment. The dam for the considered Camp Ground Lake would be located on Beech Fork 49.1 miles upstream from its confluence with Rolling Fork and immediately downstream from confluence of Chaplin River. This loca­ tion is in Washington and Nelson Counties, Kentucky, about one and one-half miles upstream from the community of Maud; however, the impoundment would also extend into Anderson County (see attached maps). The drainage area above the damsite is approximately 438 square miles. Pool elevations and associated surface areas would be as follows: minimum pool, elevation 611 feet msl, 2,975 acres; water supply and water quality pool,621 feet msl, 3,990 acres; seasonal pool 630 feet msl, 5,070 acres; and flood control pool 660 feet msl, 10,050 acres. The length of free-flowing stream inundated by this project would vary from approximately 36 miles at minimum pool to about 50 miles at seasonal pool and 75 miles at flood control pool elevation. Approximately 18,350 acres of land will be required for the dam and lake, including 3,000 acres specifically for recreation, and with t\n additional 200 acres required in fee for possible downstream overflow areas and public use between Beech Fork river miles 30 and 41. Multiple level outlets would be provided with outlet sizes adequate to release good quality water as based on hydraulic studies. Total benefits would accrue to the project in the following approximate percentages: recreation, including fishing, 58 percent; flood oontrol, 24 percent; water quality control, 7 percent; water supply, 6 percent; redevelopment, 5 percent. Without redevelopment benefits, the benefit-to-cost ratio is 1.5 to 1.0. Including redevelopment benefits, this ratio is 1.6 to 1.0. The recommended project is currently in the preauthoriz­ ation planning stage and the final report on the project has been submitted for review. Six additional reservoir sites were considered during preliminary screening studies for development of the basin's water resources. These screening studies resolved into further consideration of the Howardstown Lake project on Rolling Fork, a tributary of Salt River (see Plate 2). The economic feasibility of this project was marginal and originally there was considerable local opposition, resulting in the termination of the Howards town Lake investigation. This project is retained as a long range element in the basin plan of development, however, since considerable public support has recently become evident, and since it may be possible that further refinement of the studies would result in development of an economically feasible plan for Howardstown Lake. Sadies indicated that the only local protection project which miqht be justified would be a levee to protect the City of Shepherdsville (see l i t 1 ll' iAithough this project was feasible, it was not recomnended for authorization due to lack of assurances of local cooperation. How­ ever, it has also been retained as a unit in the long range plan of development for the basin. * g>yigonmental Setting Without the Project.

Approximately 25 percent of the residents of the basin 25 years of age and over had completed 12 or more years of schooling. The mainstream of the Salt River originates in Boyle County southwest of Danville and flows northward for about 50 miles to the vicinity of Lawrenceburq. It then flows west about 100 miles to its confluence with the Ohio River at West Point 26 miles downstream from Louisville and 351 miles upstream from the mouth of the Ohio River. Surface waters in the basin are presently used as sources of public and industrial water supply, for final disposal of treated sewage and waste, for supplemental irrigation, for recreation, for fish and wildlife habitat, and for live­ stock watering and other agricultural and domestic uses. Generally, water supplies in the basin are less than adequate, due in part to the scarcity of ground water and the lack of development of adequate storage facilities for surface waters. Economic development of the area has been assisted by the construction of water-related projects, several by the Corps of Engineers. A levee for the protection of Taylorsville was constructed in 1949. In 1950, a clearing and snaqging project was performed on Plum Creek to alleviate headwater flooding along the stream. A pilot watershed project on Plum Creek was constructed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture under authority of Public Law 46 (see Plate 2). Snagging and clearing a seven mile reach of Salt Fiver from the mouth of Rolling Fork upstream was completed in 1964. Construction of a levee and appurtenances for the protection of Lebanon Junction was completed in 1966. During the same year, channel improvement of a portion of Town Creek at Harrodsburg was completed. A multipurpose reservoir project, Taylorsville Lake, was authorized by the 1966 Flood Control Act for the purposes of flood control, water quality control, and general and fish and wildlife recreation. The dam will be located on Salt River 59.5 miles above Taylorsville in Spencer County, Kentucky. The project would convert approximately 15,600 acres of land* from private to public use and inundate approximately 3,050 acres at seasonal pool elevation. The project is presently in the advanced engineering and design stage. In summary, the overall water-related problems and needs of the Salt River Basin remaining after existing or planned developments consist of frequent and increasing flood damages; some areas with poor agricultural drainage; local shortages of municipal and industrial water supply; inadequate flows for water quality control, need for future supplemental irrigation; and \ high residual needs for general and fish and wildlife recreation.

  • Washington County, Kentucky
    .,~ • .J THE POST OFFICES OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, KENTUCKY Washington County, at the western end of the Outer Bluegrass, has been described as primarily an agricultural county in a "well dissected upland or irregular hills and ridges. 11 1 Its 10,440 residents occupy 301 square miles. Springfield, its seat, lies forty five air miles southeast of downtown Louisville and almost that distance southwest of downtown Lexington. Washington is drained entirely by the Chaplin and Little Beech Fork Rivers, Salt River tributaries. Little Beech flows roughly northwest through the county till it joins Chaplin River, below which (in Nelson Co.) it is known as the (Big) Beech Fork River. Both the Beech Fork and the Chaplin Rivers form the county ' s western border with Nelson County . Little Beech Fork branches (Hardins Creek, which forms part of Washington's boundary with Marion County, Cartwright, Long Lick, and Mayes Creeks, and Pleasant Run) and Chaplin River branches (Beaver and Sulphur Creeks , across which lies Anderson County, Glens and Thompsons Creeks) figure prominently in the county's history and as reference points forthe location of its principal places. The county was first settled in 1776 by James Sandusky (Sadowsky) on Pleasant Run, southeast of Springfield, and in 1799 by Samuel Cartwright on the creek named fo r him, west of the county seat. On June 22, 1792 one of the first acts of the new Kentucky legislature was the creation of Washington County wholly from Nelson County, making it the tenth county in order of formation and the first formed after statehood. It was named for the then US President George Washington.

Its very name brings up thoughts of the Irish -- shamrocks, leprechauns, the wearing of the green. But the Limerick neighborhood was home to a small, close-knit community years before the first Irishman put down roots in the area. Before the Civil War, much of the area was farm land. Starting in the 1830s, a small community of blacks lived in the area between Broadway and Kentucky Street. Many were slaves who labored on a large plantation at Seventh and Kentucky streets; others were free blacks who were household servants. In 1858, the Louisville & Nashville Railroad bought the Kentucky Locomotive Works at 10th and Kentucky streets for $80,000, and within a decade, the railroad had built repair shops and a planing mill. At about that time, many Irish workers began moving their families from Portland into Limerick, nearer their jobs. Typically, they lived in modest brick or wood-fiarne houses or shotgun cottages, which were later replaced by the three-story brick and stone structures that line the streets today. L & N also hired black laborers, who lived with their families in homes in alleys behind streets. But fi-om the mid- 19th century until about 1905, Limerick was known as the city's predominant Irish neighborhood. Some historic accounts credit Tom Reilly, an early resident, with giving the neighborhood its name, and others believe it was named for the county or city of Limerick, which is on Ireland's west coast.

  • Guidelines for Fishing on the Salt River Memorial Day, 25 MAY 2020
    Guidelines for Fishing on the Salt River Memorial Day, 25 MAY 2020 1. All personnel within the boundaries of Fort Knox on the Salt River will be checked-in via iSportsman no earlier than 0400 (4:00 AM) 25 May. Personnel are required to have in their possession a valid 2020 Kentucky Fishing License and 2020 Fort Knox Fishing Permit. You must have your iSportsman fishing permit on board while on the river and available for inspection. 2. The Rolling Fork River is off-limits, boats will not travel upstream on Salt River beyond the confluence of the Rolling Fork River (Pitts Point). The only portion of the river that is authorized for entry is downstream from Pitts Point to the bridge. No boats are authorized upstream of Pitts Point on either the Salt River or Rolling Fork River. All personnel must remain in the boat at all times. The banks of the river are strictly off limits. 3. The river, upstream of the bridge on Main Range Rd, will be open for access for fishing only on 25 May 2020 from 0800 (8:00 AM) until 1500 (3:00 PM). Boats will NOT be permitted upstream of the Fort Knox Bridge until 0800. All boats must exit the installation and be downstream of the Fort Knox bridge no later than 1500.
