Searles, Owner Leeward Solutions, LLC December 25, 2017 Bob Bryant photographs Sullivant’s Milkweed in a Scott County roadside. Sullivant’s Milkweed is uncommon, but, like other milkweeds, it attracts Monarch butterflies for egg-laying and food. Bob joined the survey in 2016 and 2017 as a field assistant and expert on the county’s flora and botanical history.

The RVS occurred in two phases, with hard-surfaced roads surveyed in 2016 and gravel roads driven in 2017. Level B and C roads were not included, with only a few exceptions. The field component was completed in early September 2017. This final report contains information and conclusions based on both phases. The survey began on July 25, 2016, with training on GPS equipment.

    1 Introduction Ging Dams and Intense Storms Awith Subsequent Floods Have Led to at Least Ten Structural Failures at Iowa Dams in the Past Three Years

    11 Introduction ging dams and intense storms Awith subsequent floods have led to at least ten structural failures at Iowa dams in the past three years. This presents serious challenges, but also provides a chance to correct a legacy of problems not anticipated three to four generations ago when many small dams were constructed. New frameworks for low-head dam mitigation provide exciting opportunities to usher in a new legacy of enjoyment, respect, and care for the navigable waters of Iowa. Solving Dam Problems: Iowa’s 2010 Plan for Dam Mitigation provides an updated inventory, new naturalistic approaches to enhance rivers in dam mitigation projects, perspectives on flood reduction, and cost effective methods of reducing deaths at dams. 5 companion documents to this plan were 1a. The Role of Iowa’s 2010 developed: 1.

  • Draft Environmental Assessment Fishing Program for the Iowa River

    Draft Environmental Assessment Fishing Program for the Iowa River

    U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Draft Environmental Assessment Fishing Program for the Iowa River Corridor Project Port Louisa National Wildlife Refuge Regional Director Region 3, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Bloomington, MN 55111 Abstract: The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) proposes to provide compatible fishing opportunities for game fish species on the Iowa River Corridor Project (IRCP) of Port Louisa National Wildlife Refuge located within 3 counties in east central Iowa. This draft environmental assessment evaluates three possible alternatives for fishing opportunities. The preferred alternative will establish compatible fishing opportunities while providing visitors with other priority public use opportunities i.e. hunting, wildlife observation, wildlife photography, environmental education and interpretation. The entire IRCP includes Service owned lands, Iowa Department of Natural Resources lands, and Natural Resources Conservation Service wetland easements. This environmental assessment involves only those lands owned in fee title by the Service. A fishing plan is being developed pursuant to the selection of an alternative. The general goals of a fishing program are to: 1. Provide safe and enjoyable fishing that is compatible with the IRCP purposes. 2. Provide quality angling opportunities that minimize conflict with other public use activities. 3. Contribute to a consistent regulatory framework across the patchwork of public and private holdings in the IRCP. 4. Provide opportunities to fish for species consistent with the laws and regulations of the State of Iowa that do not adversely affect local or regional populations, and are consistent with the 1997 National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act. For further information about the environmental assessment, please contact: Cathy Henry, Refuge Manager, Port Louisa National Wildlife Refuge, 10728 County Road X61, Wapello, Iowa 52653-9477.
