In its submission, Missouri designated Coon Creek for SCR, withholding the designation for WBC-B because “the department did not believe the data were representative of baseflow conditions.”1 EPA relied on data provided in UAAs submitted in 2005, 2006, and 2007, which indicate Coon Creek has adequate depth to support WBCR. The information provided by Missouri in the UAAs and public comment does not sufficiently rebut the presumption that WBCR is attainable in Coon Creek. The EPA disapproved the SCR designated use for Coon Creek. Mississippi River (WBID 1707.02) In 2005, the St. Louis Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) submitted a UAA to MDNR attempting to address the attainability of recreational uses on the 28.6-mile segment surrounding the City of St. Louis. MDNR did not find MSD's UAA to sufficiently demonstrate that a whole body contact recreation use cannot be attained and proposed to the Missouri Clean Water Commission that the 28.6-mile segment be designated whole body contact recreation. The Missouri Clean Water Commission rejected MDNR's proposal and instead directed 1 Missouri Register. 2009. Order of Rulemaking 10 CSR 20-7.031. September 15, 2009. Vol. 34, No. 18. Page 2008. MDNR to designate the entire 190.5-mile segment of the Mississippi River for secondary contact recreation. MDNR subsequently adopted the secondary contact recreation use designation and formally submitted it and MSD's UAA to the EPA for review on March 28, 2006. On October 29, 2009, the EPA made a determination on the portion of the Mississippi River near St. Louis (WBID 1707.02) that new or revised standards were necessary. This segment, which flows from North Riverfront Park downstream to the confluence with the Meramec River, is designated for SCR. The EPA determined that new or revised standards are necessary because the majority of this 28.3-mile segment has shoreline features that include public parks, boat ramps, bike trails and some sandy areas with gentle sloping banks and the available information does not demonstrate that water quality necessary to support a whole body contact recreation use is not attainable in this segment. Moreover, the EPA's regulations at 40 CFR § 131.10(b) provide that a State "shall ensure that its water quality standards provide for attainment and maintenance of the water quality standards of downstream waters." Accordingly, the EPA disapproved the SCR use designation for this segment of the Mississippi River (WBID 1707.02). On December 11, 2012, Missouri resubmitted secondary contact recreation use designation for the Mississippi River WBID 1707.02. EPA action on this submission is pending. On January 6, 2015 the EPA noted that Mississippi River’s recreational use designation will continue to be reviewed. River des Peres (WBID 1710) On October 31, 2006, the EPA determined that new or revised water quality standards were necessary for one segment (WBID 1711) of River des Peres. The EPA also determined that no designated uses for protection of recreation were necessary for another segment (WBID 1710). In its 2009 submission, Missouri resegmented the River des Peres, combining WBIDs 1710 and 1711, and designated the resulting segment (WBID 1710) for SCR. Public comments and a video comment were not considered by the MDNR. The MDNR review committee found the UAA to be inconclusive despite the fact that these public comments provide information indicating previous WBCR use by the public. The EPA believes consideration of relevant public comments to be critically important when considering a designated use change.2 The EPA does not believe that the information provided by Missouri in the UAA and Missouri’s consideration of the public comments sufficiently rebut the presumption that WBCR is attainable in River des Peres. Absent a sufficient showing of why WBCR is not attainable, a designation of only SCR was also disapproved. Wamsley Creek (WBID 505) On October 31, 2006, the EPA determined that new or revised water quality standards were necessary for Wamsley Creek (WBID 505). Missouri submitted a 2007 UAA and designated Wamsley for SCR, withholding the designation for WBC-B because “no WBCR was observed”, “no interviews were conducted during the survey”, and “the stream did not meet the depth criteria at any of the 3 sites evaluated.” However, public comments submitted to the MDNR indicate that Wamsley Creek is used for WBCR in the three-to-four foot pools in the bends if the creek. The information provided by the public comments did not sufficiently rebut the presumption that WBCR is attainable in Wamsley Creek. Dry Hollow (WBID 3163) On September 27, 2013, EPA disapproved SCR use designation for Dry Hollow because no UAA was submitted to EPA for this segment. 2 See EPA’s actions on Iowa’s WQS dated November 24, 2009, June 29, 2010, and November 19, 2010. Fenton Creek (WBID 3335) On September 27, 2013, EPA disapproved SCR use designation for Fenton Creek because the UAA documented a surrounding urban area, city roads/bridges, an unimproved access road, a foot path leading to the segment, a child’s fort in a tree overhanging the stream, and an adjacent public park. Aerial images confirm that homes lie within 15 m of this segment. In urban settings such as this, the Protocol (page 15) stresses the need for an expanded survey effort and the importance of conducting interviews with local residents; however, no expanded survey and no interviews were conducted as part of the UAA. Caution is warranted in this instance, as children likely access the stream for recreational purposes. Overall, the submitted UAA and accompanying informational materials failed to demonstrate that WBC is not an attainable use.

  • Historic Mills of Ozark County, Missouri the Era of Grist Mills
    Historic Mills of Ozark County, Missouri The Era of Grist Mills Early Missouri settlements – no newspapers, poor roads, and slow transportation. No matter how financially independent people were, they all needed to have their grain ground for meal and flour. “Going to the mill” was a way of life and an adventure for the entire family. The Era of Grist Mills Gathering place and social center – settlers had the opportunity to become acquainted with others many miles away, and to discuss neighborhood, county, state and world news. It was common for farmers to bring their whole family and camp near the mill for two or three days waiting their turn to have their grain ground. Many romances and marriages were the result of gatherings at the mill. Mills in Ozark County, Missouri Missouri’s scenic and swift flowing Ozark streams were naturals for powering the many mills which sprang up. Some research indicates that there were 14+ mills in the area prior to the Civil War, but none remaining after. The mills discussed here were all established post Civil War Era. Mills in Ozark County, Missouri Dawt Mill Hammond Mill Hodgson Mill Rockbridge Mill Zanoni Mill Dawt Mill North Fork River Built in 1901 by Alva Hodgson The mill burned and was rebuilt in 1909 Dawt Mill Purchased by Dr. Ed Henegar Major renovation on the mill and grounds began in 1995 Dawt Mill Today Restaurants, lodging, entertainment canoe/kayak rental Hammond Mill Little North Fork River Constructed in 1905 by John W.

The paper was published on Thursday. In obits, I have omitted extraneous comments that do not contribute genealogical info. January 6, 1938: The following account of the accidental death of Martin Killian who was killed at Fresno, Calif., December 26, 1937, by a hit and run driver, was sent us by Mrs. Philip Killian of San Jose, Calif.: "Martin J. Killian, 48, a lineman for the San Joaquin Light & Power Corporation for 15 years, residing at Willows and Kerckhoff avenues, was killed instantly while walking home on Ventura Ave. His body was carried nearly a block by the speeding automobile before it fell to the side of the road. There was no witnesses to the accident, nor could the officers find any shattered glass or other clues to the identity of the death car. Coroner J. N. Lisle, who took charge of the body, said that Killian died of internal injuries and fractured skull. Killian is survived by his widow, Lula Chloe; a daughter and two sons; two brothers and two sisters, Frank Killian and Mrs. Eupha Ryan of Norwood, Mo., Philip Killian of San Jose, Calif., and Priscilla Wilson of Washington. Elder L. E. Falkenberg officiated at the funeral rites which were held at 2:30 Wednesday afternoon, December 29, at the Lisle funeral home. Burial was at the Belmont Memorial Park." Killian's brother, Maynard, was killed in a car accident in California 8 years ago, and another brother, Henry, was murdered in his home near Norwood 7 years ago last fall.

Copyright©2011 by Kenneth W. Brown Springfield, MO 65809 Foreword from Ken Brown The Ozark Uncle, Springfield, MO eMail: [email protected] In March 1887, the Douglas County Herald came into existence and has been published on a weekly basis ever since. Today, microfilm copies of the Herald from those early years provide the most complete and fascinating story of the county and its residents ever written. This history, however, does not give itself up easily; one must peruse each issue of the Herald for a period of years to gain an understanding of the daily life and the issues that concerned our Douglas County ancestors. My personal fascination with the old issues led to the preparation of this volume of excerpts which was transcribed from the Herald for the years 1887 through 1899. Almost all the excerpts were obtained from two pages of each issue--the editorial page and the local news page. During those early years, the remainder of the paper was filled with “ready print,” i.e., state and national news that was funneled to the paper from outside the county.

  • Life with Logan
    Life with Logan A tribute to Logan Brown (b. 1925 - d. 2018) by his wife of 65 years, Cinita Davis Brown Graphical assistance provided by Cinita’s Davis cousin, Ken Brown Photo above: The date was September 17, 2013. Logan was sitting on the couch when UPS delivered the fi rst draft copy of our book eventually titled “Bryant Creek Pioneers--Thomas S. Brown and John Burden.” A camera happened to be on the coff ee table. I handed him a book, picked up the camera, and snapped this picture. His “smile’”tells how pleased he was to know some of the Brown history, stories, and pictures would be preserved. Page 2 Narrative by Cinita (Davis) Brown My Logan enjoyed chocolate cake but he didn’t enjoy funeral service videos! He did enjoy the handouts that I sometimes made with my Davis-side cousin, Ken Brown, when a relative passed away. Logan (my love), I hope you enjoy this one made especially for you. LOGAN BORN AT ROCKBRIDGE On July 20, 1925, Logan Brown, son of Walter H. and Anna (Hicks) Brown, was born in Ozark County, Missouri, on the Hoover Place above Rockbridge.

  • The Bryant Creek Assessment Project Ozark Chapter Missouri Master
    The Bryant Creek assessment project In Douglas and Ozark counties, Missouri An ongoing Volunteer water quality monitoring Project Of the Ozark chapter of Missouri master naturalists Updated through March 29, 2013 The Project In Spring 2010, members of the Ozark Chapter of Missouri Master Naturalists undertook an ambitious project to conduct chemical and biological monitoring at every mile of the “floatable portion” of Bryant Creek, in Douglas and Ozark County, Missouri. Beginning at the Vera Cruz MDC Access (“Mile 0.0”), and continuing to the creek’s confluence with the North Fork of the White River, the group completed an initial survey in May 2010, providing GPS coordinates for forty-nine sampling sites, collecting readings on turbidity, pH, air and water temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and phosphates at each location. An effort, hampered by high and dangerous water conditions, was made to provide macroinvertebrate collection data at each point. This portion of the project met with limited initial success, and only about one quarter of the sites were initially sampled for aquatic macroinvertebrates. All data collected was submitted to Missouri Stream Team volunteer water quality monitoring personnel in Jefferson City in May 2010. In addition, an initial report, A Biological and Chemical Assessment of Bryant Creek in Douglas and Ozark Counties, Missouri, was completed to summarize the findings, with copies furnished to Missouri Stream Team personnel. This current report is an effort to provide a continuing, ongoing report of subsequent annual samplings at each site. Throughout the report, “BCAP” signifies “Bryant Creek Assessment Project”, and the sampling sites are numbered consecutively, upstream-to-downstream, from 1-49.
