EFFECTS OF IMPOUNDMENTS ON WATER QUALITY OF STREAMS IN THE COTEAU DES PRAIRIES--UPPER MINNESOTA RIVER BASIN By C. J. Smith, G. A. Payne, and L. H. Tornes ABSTRACT Water-quality and streamflow data were collected in the Coteau des Prairies region of southwestern Minnesota and eastern South Dakota to document the water- quality characteristics of streams and impoundments in the Coteau, and to predict the effect of proposed impoundments on the quality of water in Coteau streams. Reconnaissance data collection at 66 stream and 24 impoundment sites plus 21 inlets and outlets during 1979, and intensive data collection at 4 stream and 4 impoundment plus 9 inlet and outlet sites during 1980-84, showed that major ions, nutrients, and suspended-sediment concentrations and suspended- sediment discharge differed widely in unimpounded streams, but that maximum and median suspended-sediment concentrations were significantly reduced in impounded streams. Peak daily suspended-sediment discharges were reduced at impoundment outlets relative to the sediment discharge at their inlets. The impoundments were found to have little or no effect on stream temperature and concentrations of dissolved oxygen, dissolved solids, and major ions. Elevated concentrations of fecal bacteria were found in unimpounded streams throughout the study area and the impoundments did not substantially reduce the number of bacteria transported in the impounded streams. During summer, elevated concentrations of nitrate, ammonia, and phosphorus were present in all the impoundments. Levels of productivity were not significant­ ly related to concentrations of total phosphorus in the euphotic zone. Real levels of productivity differed among the impoundments however, and seemed to be affected by the occurrence and duration of thermal stratification. Periods of summer stratification and accumulation of late winter snow on pool ice were frequently accompanied by near total depletion of dissolved oxygen. During summer stratification the concentration of ammonia increased with time in the lower part of the water column in some impoundments. INTRODUCTION The headwaters for

  • Proposal: River Otter Delisting
    GAME, FISH, AND PARKS COMMISSION ACTION PROPOSAL State Threatened and Endangered Species Listings Chapter 41:10:02:04 Commission Meeting Dates: Proposal March 5-6, 2020 Pierre Public Hearing May 7, 2020 Custer State Park Finalization May 7-8, 2020 Custer State Park COMMISSION PROPOSAL Proposed change: Remove North American River Otter (Lontra canadensis) from list of state threatened mammals. DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION Recommended changes to proposal: None. SUPPORTIVE INFORMATION River otters were historically widespread across North America, including South Dakota in appropriate habitats. However, due to habitat loss and degradation and unregulated take during the early 20th century, river otter populations were drastically reduced, including likely extirpation from South Dakota. In 1978, river otters were included on the first list of South Dakota state threatened mammals. Several factors have allowed river otter populations to rebound across much of their former range, including reintroductions, improvements in wetland and river habitat management, and protections afforded under various state threatened and endangered species laws. In South Dakota, the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe released 35 river otters along the Big Sioux River on tribal grounds in Moody County in 1998 and 1999. As part of a study to determine river otter distribution in the state, Kiesow and Dieter (2003) collected 34 confirmed reports of river otter in South Dakota. The majority (89%) of these reports occurred along the Big Sioux River; half occurred in Moody County. Melquist reported in 2015 that river otter distribution included the following: Big Sioux, Vermillion and James River drainages, Jorgenson River, Little Minnesota River, Whetstone River, Yellow Bank River, Jim Creek/Big Slough and the Missouri River downstream from Pierre (Melquist 2015).

    National Park Service Pipestone U.S. Department of the Interior National Monument K Introduction Pipestone National Monument sits on the Coteau des Prairies (ko-toe day pray-ree), French for 'prairie highland'. It is shaped like a triangular wedge pointing north. To the east is the valley of the Minnesota River. The western margin is the Big Sioux River Valley in South Dakota. Coteau des Prairies Within the Coteau are many layers of debris (called Where ice flowed directly over bedrock,embedded till) deposited by glaciers that advanced many times hard stones left grooves called glacial striae. during the Pleistocene Epoch, better known as the Outcrops were also sand-blasted by strong winds 'Ice Age.' Many of the tills are believed to be from the north, which picked up silt and fine sand between 800,000 and 500,000 years old. During the from glacial plains. This produced the natural last ('Wisconsin') phase of the Ice Age,from about polish seen on the bedrock outcrops near the 75,000 to about 10,000 years ago, an ice sheet split Monument's Winnewissa Falls. into two lobes near the northeastern border of South Dakota; one lobe plowed through the old tills to form the Mississippi River drainage, and the other formed the Missouri River drainage. The Coteau was carved from the land, like an island 4 t it' between the ice streams. Pipestone National Monument was not covered with ice during the Wisconsin phase,so most of its glacial features date to the older phases. Local glacial deposits include soils formed from weathered till and loess, a mixture of windblown clay, silt, and sand.
