Public Hunting Areas /^/ INTRODUCTION This folder is designed to answer some KANSAS FISH of the many questions from sportsmen re­ garding hunting in Kansas. Hunting “ Mid­ way U.S.A.” can be an exciting and reward­ ing experience and many persons are at­ AND GAME tracted to the fields and woods of Kansas during the fall of the year. Seasons and bag limits for the various game species are set each year during the first part of September by the Kansas For­ COMMISSION estry, Fish and Game Commission. However, there are standard opening dates for the prairie chicken, pheasant and quail sea­ sons. (Check information under each spe­ cies.) All seasons are announced through GUIDE FOR HUNTERS news media and printed regulations may be obtained from the County Clerk in each county or by writing the Commission at Box F, Pratt, Kansas. SPECIES Kansas, located in the heart of the nation, has a great variety of game in plenti­ ful numbers. Portions of the state lie within the major bobwhite quail and pheasant ran­ ges of the United States. The Flint Hills area of eastern Kansas contains the largest prairie chicken population of any area in the nation. Located in the middle of the central flyway, Kansas hunters have ample oppor­ tunities to harvest their share of ducks, geese, doves and other migratory birds. Small game animals are generally plenti­ ful. Jackrabbits and cottontails may be taken during most of the year. Squirrels also pro­ vide hunting opportunities and the current population can well stand increased hunting pressure. GAME RANGE PHEASANTS —Best pheasant hunting is normally found in the western half of the state. However, some northeastern counties are usually open to hunting of these birds. Season opens the second Saturday of Novem­ ber. Check regulations for open areas, bag limits and closing dates. PRAIRIE CHICKEN—Major range of the greater prairie chicken is shown above. Sea­ son opens on first Saturday of November. Check regulations for open areas, bag limit and closing date.

  • Assessing the Potential of Reservoir Outflow Management to Reduce
    HYDROLOGICAL PROCESSES Hydrol. Process. 27, 1426–1439 (2013) Published online 23 April 2012 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com) DOI: 10.1002/hyp.9284 Assessing the potential of reservoir outflow management to reduce sedimentation using continuous turbidity monitoring and reservoir modelling† Casey Lee* and Guy Foster US Geological Survey, Lawrence, KS, 66049, USA Abstract: In-stream sensors are increasingly deployed as part of ambient water quality-monitoring networks. Temporally dense data from these networks can be used to better understand the transport of constituents through streams, lakes or reservoirs. Data from existing, continuously recording in-stream flow and water quality monitoring stations were coupled with the two-dimensional hydrodynamic CE-QUAL-W2 model to assess the potential of altered reservoir outflow management to reduce sediment trapping in John Redmond Reservoir, located in east-central Kansas. Monitoring stations upstream and downstream from the reservoir were used to estimate 5.6 million metric tons of sediment transported to John Redmond Reservoir from 2007 through 2010, 88% of which was trapped within the reservoir. The two-dimensional model was used to estimate the residence time of 55 equal- volume releases from the reservoir; sediment trapping for these releases varied from 48% to 97%. Smaller trapping efficiencies were observed when the reservoir was maintained near the normal operating capacity (relative to higher flood pool levels) and when average residence times were relatively short. An idealized, alternative outflow management scenario was constructed, which minimized reservoir elevations and the length of time water was in the reservoir, while continuing to meet downstream flood control end points identified in the reservoir water control manual.

  • Kansas Resource Management Plan and Record of Decision
    United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Tulsa District Oklahoma Resource Area September 1991 KANSAS RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN Dear Reader: This doCument contains the combined Kansas Record of Decision (ROD) and Resource Management Plan (RMP). The ROD and RMP are combined to streamline our mandated land-use-planning requirements and to provide the reader with a useable finished product. The ROD records the decisions of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for administration of approximately 744,000 acres of Federal mineral estate within the Kansas Planning Area. The Planning Area encompasses BLM adm in i sterad sp 1 it-estate mi nera 1 s and Federa 1 minerals under Federal surface administered by other Federal Agencies within the State of Kansas. The Kansas RMP and appendices provide direction and guidance to BLM Managers in the formulation of decisions effecting the management of Federal mineral estate within the planning area for the next 15 years. The Kansas RMP was extracted from the Proposed Kansas RMP/FIES. The issuance of this ROD and RMP completes the BLM land use planning process for the State of Kansas. We now move to implementation of the plan. We wish to thank all the individuals and groups who participated in this effort these past two years, without their help we could not have completed this process. er~ 1_' Area Manager Oklahoma Resource Area RECORD OF DECISION on the Proposed Kansas Resource Management Plan and Final Environmental Impact Statement September 1991 RECORD OF DECISION The decision is hereby made to approve the proposed decision as described in the Proposed Kansas Resource Management Plan/Final Env ironmental Impact Statement (RMP/FEIS July 1991), MANAGEMENT CONSZOERATXONS The decision to approve the Proposed Plan is based on: (1) the input received from the public, other Federal and state agencies; (2) the environmental analysis for the alternatives considered in the Draft RMP/Oraft EIS, as we11 as the Proposed Kansas RMP/FEIS.
