Withdrawals for agricultural is critical for proper water-supply management. The use, composed of aquaculture, general irrigation, livestock, and purpose of this fact sheet is to present information that can rice irrigation, accounted for about 93 percent (28.05 Mgal/d) be used by water managers, parish residents, and others of the total water withdrawn (table 2). Other categories of use for stewardship of this vital resource. Information on the included public supply and rural domestic. Water-use data availability, past and current use, use trends, and water collected at 5-year intervals from 1960 to 2010 indicated that quality from groundwater and surface-water sources in water withdrawals peaked in 2000 at 30.99 Mgal/d (fig. 2). the parish is presented. Previously published reports (see References Cited section) and data stored in the U.S. 1Water-withdrawal data are based on estimated or reported site-specific data Geological Survey’s National Water Information System and aggregated data, which are distributed to sources.

  • Interior and Army Sign Cooperative Agreement To
    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT of the INTERIOR k********************newsrelease FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE Most - 343-5634 U. S. ARMYCORPS OF ENGINEERS Huppuch - OX 7-1276 For Release MARCH5, 1964 INTERIORAND ARMYSIGN COOPERATIVEACREEMENT FOR WATER PRDJECT IN LOUISIANA; WATERFOWLTO BENEFIT A major waterfowl wintering area in Louisiana today was assured a long life by joint action of the Department of the Interior and the Corps of Army Engineers. A cooperative agreement between the two Federal agencies will protect the fish and wildlife values of Catahoula Lake from construction of Lock and Dam No. 2, a part of the Ouachita Black River Navigation Project near Jonesville, La. Under the agreement, the Corps will use funds appropriated for the project to construct a diversion channel from Catahoula Lake to Black River downstream from the dam site with an outlet-control structure at the lakeward end of the channel; construct a low dam in Little River at elevation 34 feet above mean sea level to prevent flow into Catahoula Lake from the navigation pool; and maintain these structures as part of the project. The Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife of the Department of the Interior will assume responsibility for day-to-day operation of the control strnctures to regulate water levels in the lake under a plan to be developed cooperatively with the Corps and the State of Louisiana. Great numbers of ducks winter on the lake and the adjoining Catahoula National Wildlife Refuge. This high use by waterfowl depends upon normal water- level fluctuation over the open lakebed. The zone between elevations 27 and 30 feet includes about 18,CCO acres of land which produces waterfowl food plants.

  • Ancillary Benefits of the Ouachita River Navigation System
    Ancillary Benefits of the Ouachita River Navigation System Heather Nachtmann, Ph.D. Selin Celikkol, MSIE Department of Industrial Engineering University of Arkansas Submitted to the Mack Blackwell Rural Transportation Center University of Arkansas May 2007 Abstract The Ouachita River, one of five designated commercially navigable waterways in the state, is economically and socially beneficial to the region’s communities and industries. The river provides barge service via two public ports in addition to privately owned terminals and riverfront industrial sites. The Ouachita has been classified as a “low- use river” and is at high risk of losing its federal funding for maintenance and operation. This study investigates the ancillary benefits of the Ouachita River to the State of Arkansas including recreation, tourism, commercial shipping, water supply and electrical generation. The goal of this report is to provide information that may be useful in seeking ongoing funding of the river. 1.0 Project Description The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Office of Management and Budget have classified the Ouachita River1 as a "low-use river" because of what they regard as insufficient tonnage being shipped on the waterway. However, users of the river contend that when all of the uses of the waterway are considered, the federal interest is well-served in terms of economic, social and environmental benefits. The Ouachita River, one of five designated commercially navigable waterways in Arkansas, has public ports at Crossett and Camden in south Arkansas. Barge service is also available through privately owned terminals and riverfront industrial sites along the river.

    STATE OF LOUISIANA COURT OF APPEAL, THIRD CIRCUIT CA 07-821 HENRY SANDERS VERSUS STATE OF LOUISIANA, DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES ********** APPEAL FROM THE TWENTY-EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT PARISH OF LASALLE, NO. 33,917 HONORABLE JOHN PHILIP MAUFFRAY, JR., DISTRICT JUDGE ********** BILLY HOWARD EZELL JUDGE ********** Court composed of Michael G. Sullivan, Glenn B. Gremillion, and Billy Howard Ezell, Judges. REVERSED. Albin Alexandre Provosty Provosty, Sadler, deLaunay P. O. Drawer 1791 Alexandria, LA 71309-1791 (318) 445-3631 Counsel for Defendant/Appellant: State of Louisiana, Department of Natural Resources William Henry Sanders J. Christopher Peters Attorney at Law P. O. Box 1363 Jena, LA 71342-1363 (318) 992-8251 Counsel for Plaintiff/Appellee: Henry Sanders Ezell, Judge. Henry Sanders filed a suit against the State of Louisiana involving land located on Catahoula Lake. Mr. Sanders sought to be recognized as possessor of a certain area of land and also asked that a boundary be established between his land and the land owned by the State, as owner of the bed of Catahoula Lake and/or Little River. Additionally, Mr. Sanders sought an injunction prohibiting the State from “artificially flooding and holding of water or by artificially inducing a rapid rate of regression of back water and overflow water.” Finally, Mr. Sanders sought an award of damages against the State, alleging that the State was in bad faith. The trial court denied Mr. Sanders’ last two claims. However, the trial court found that the proper ordinary high water mark of Catahoula Lake in 1812 was 30.1- foot elevation above mean sea level (MSL), as opposed to the 36-foot elevation that the State claimed.

  • CONG BOOK MARCH 2017 Final
    Projects Supported by Ouachita River Valley Association MARCH 2017 1 FOREWORD The Ouachita River Valley Association is pleased to have the opportunity to submit information outlining some of the most urgent water resources development needs in the Ouachita River Basin in Arkansas and Louisiana. We are grateful for the role the federal government, through the Congress and the Administration, represented by the Corps of Engineers, has played in developing and caring for the bountiful natural resources in this basin for more than a century. Much of the economic, recreational, and natural resources preservation of the basin has been made possible through these investments. The Ouachita River is a unique resource that serves not only the residents of the region but the nation at-large. With this opportunity comes the responsibility to conserve and protect what has been inherited from nature and those preceding us. In as much as these assets are held in national trust, it is appropriate that they are operated and maintained by the national government in partnership with state and local governments. The Ouachita River Valley Association is proud to have been a stakeholder in these efforts for more than a century. Information presented in this booklet outlines those projects of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that the Ouachita River Valley Association strongly supports and encourages completion of at the earliest possible date. Funding levels for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016/2017 are presented for each project listed. Also included is suggested language to be used in an appropriate document that would authorize bank stabilization measures on the Ouachita-Black Rivers from mile 0 to mile 460 at Remmel Dam near Hot Springs, AR, and add navigation from Mile 41.5 on the Black River, LA, at the mouth of Little River, up Little River 14,000 feet, as a project feature of the Ouachita-Black Rivers Navigation Project.
