    Iowa Highway 86 Vertical Alignment Improvement Study Description of the Proposed Action The Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) propose to improve a 3.9-mile segment of Iowa Highway 86 (IA 86) from Iowa Highway 9 (IA 9) to near the Minnesota border within Dickinson County, Iowa (the Project). The existing IA 86 has narrow travel lanes and shoulders, steep foreslopes, and poor vertical alignment. Environmental Assessment Availability The Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Project was signed on June 30, 2011, and distributed to selected federal, state, and local resource agencies on July 5, 2011, for review and comment. A Notice of Public Hearing and Environmental Assessment Availability was published in the legal section of the Estherville Daily News on July 5, 2011, and the Ocheyedan Press-Melvin News and Dickinson County News on July 6, 2011. Review and Comment Period A review and comment period was established for receipt of comments on the EA, with an expiration date of August 8, 2011. A public hearing for the Project was held at the Dickinson County Courthouse on July 21, 2011. The public hearing used a combined open forum and formal format. A transcript of this meeting has been prepared and is available upon request. Agency Comments One agency comment letter on the EA was received and is included in Appendix A. A summary of the comments and responses to those comments (shown in italics) follows: • U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), Office of Environmental Policy and Compliance – DOI concurred that avoidance of Section 4(f) properties was infeasible for the Project because Section 4(f) lands are on both sides of IA 86 in some locations.

The magnitude and seasonal variation of 11 selected physio­ chemical characteristics at four collection sites in the headwater region of the Little Sioux River are reported for a 12-month perod from March 1969 through February 1970. Little variation was found between study sites for given sampling times. For several decades the headwaters and adjacent terrestrial areas of the Little Sioux River have been th object of considerable scientific investigation. This study, by students in summer courses at the Iowa Lakeside Laboratory, has resulted in limited informa­ tion through publication.

The region escaped the flattening effects of glaciation during the last ice age and is consequently characterized by steep, forested ridges, deeply carved river valleys, and karst geology characterized by spring-fed waterfalls and cold-water trout streams. Ecologically, the Driftless Area's flora and fauna are more closely related to those of the Great Lakes region and New England than those of the broader Midwest and central Plains regions.

  • Silver Lake in Dickinson County Highlighted in Red. the Watershed Resources of Dickinson County
    SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION Map 1.1: Silver Lake in Dickinson County highlighted in red. The watershed resources of Dickinson County, Iowa and Osceola County, Iowa provide an important source of recreation, drinking water and aesthetic enjoyment for residents and visitors. Good water quality is vital to the region’s economy and enhances the quality of life for those who live within and visit the area. The water quality of Silver Lake is threatened by agricultural nutrients, soil erosion, human and livestock waste, stormwater contaminants, urban development and the loss of natural wetlands. Preventing the potential spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS) into Silver Lake is a major concern. Other threats include potential spills of hazardous materials. SILVER LAKE WATERSHED Silver Lake watershed is an area of about 18,000 acres (27.3 square miles) located in northwest Iowa and southwest Minnesota. Approximately 94 percent of the watershed lies within Dickinson and Osceola County, Iowa and the remainder within Jackson County, Minnesota. Silver Lake is a recreational lake for Iowa residents and visitors from adjacent states with approximately 75,000 (estimated) visitors per year. Agricultural runoff containing sediment, fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and feedlot waste negatively influence the water quality. Urbanization contributes pollution from stormwater run-off and there is some suspicion that there are a number of private sewage disposal systems within the watershed area that are improperly installed or not properly maintained. Page 1 of 69 The hub of the watershed lies at the intersection of the principal north-south route through the watershed (Iowa Highway 219) and the principal east-west route through Dickinson County (Iowa Highway 9).
