The tract is located approximately 24 miles northeast of Jefferson City near the village of Steedman on highway 94 (Map 1). The location and assessment of cultural resources is authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, Executive Order 11593, the Archaeological and Historical Conservation Act of 1974 (Public Law 93- 291), and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Regulatory Guide 4.2, Section 2-6, July 1976. Primary Research Objectives The major objectives of this project will be to: (1) conduct a 100% survey of a 5,300 acre (2,141 ha) tract identified I as the study area (Map 2) giving scheduling priorities to specific locations as directed by Union Electric Company; l (2) evaluate and assess all cultural resources based on National I ' Register criteria of significance; ! (3) prepare a cultural resources management plan; and, I (4) following the location and assessment phase, be prepared to conduct phase II testing at selected sites.

This region is physiographically uniform, consisting mainly of glaciated prairie or dissected till plains. The Missouri River flows in an eastwardly direction, 5 miles south of the plant site. The flood- plain in this area is 2.4 miles wide with contour elevations of 520 feet bordering the north and south sides of the river. Logan Creek flows in a southwesterly direction entering into the Missouri River floodplain, fonning the eastern physiographic boundary of the plant site. The western boundary is demarcated by Mud Creek, which flows southeast before entering into the floodplain. State Route "O," a hard-surface road running east to west, serves to delimit the northern boundary of the site. The following environmental data are taken from Callaway Plant Units 1 and 2, Environmental Report, Vol.1, Union Electric. Company (n.d.). Topography The Callaway Plant site occupies a transition zone or major ecotone (edge) area between two major physiographic regions, the Interior Plains of the Central Lowlands to the north and the Ozark Plateau of the Interior liighlands to the south. The Central Lowlands were fonned by erosion of a mantle of drift and till deposited by the Kansan glacier. In the southern portion of the Central Lowlands, gently rolling ana hilly topography was created by an abundance of rainfall and its consequent stream development. The hilly-to-mountainous topography of the Ozark Plateau developed by erosion of the Ozark uplift. ' The surface geology of the area is one of gently rolling upland in , the northern part of the project area that formed a paat of an old glacial . 4 . - . % till plain. Glaciation of this section resulted in relatively level plains. Erosion and downcutting of the Missouri River and its tributary streams have deeply dissected the plain in the southern half of the proj- ect area, leaving a nearly isolated plateau of approximately 8 square miles. The plateau has a maximum elevation of 858 feet above msl. The Missouri River has an elevation of approximately 505 feet above msl. Topographic relief varies more than 200 feet between valleys and ridges. The overall drop in elevation between the crest of the plateau and the Missouri River is approximately 350 feet. Drainage Surface drainage follows a general flow pattern from north to south. Logan Creek to the east and northeast of the site area has severely down- cut the local terrain, forming a floodplain that is approximately 1,000 feet wide. This creek extends some 6 miles north of its confluence with . the Missouri River. - Auxvasse Creak, a major tributary of the Missouri River, is located about 2 miles west of the site area. This creek drains the western and northern flanks of the plateau. It is more than 30 miles in length with a number of large tributary branches. Mud Creek is a major drainageway to the Missouri River from the southern and southwestern side of the site area. Intermittent stream branches of this creek have deeply cut into the southern flank of the plateau, formiiig steep stream gradients. The rt.gged relief of the southern half of the site area is due to numerous lateral streams of Logan and Auxvasse creeks that have deeply downcut the plateau. In the northern half of the site area, dissection * of the landscape is not as severe. Surface drainage in this. area is. 5 | | ' .. - . - - . - _ . - . - -. - __ . ... ..; . , % intercepted by Cow Creek, a major tributary of Auxvasse Creek. Gradients along intermittent streams flowing into Cow Creek are relatively lcw. Soils Soils of the site area vary from fertile bottomlands of the Missouri River floodplain to less fertile, cherty soils of weathered limestone bedrock on steep slopes. High plasticity clays are found on the lower elevations of the plateau, while eroded l'oess deposits are found at. higher elevations. The Missouri River flaadplain is composed of alluvial deposits containing large amounts of silt .nd sand. The steep slopes $ contain rock debris of various sizes. There are five major sof1 groups within the plant site area. These are the Mexico, Putnam, Menfro, Goss, and Sarpy serir.s. The Mexico and Putnam soils have developed in thin (2.5 to 5.5 feet) loess deposits overlying glacial till with a prairie vegetation :cver. Both soils have " clay pans" about 14 to 17 inches below the soil surface. During rainy . seasons, the slow permeable subsoils combine with the nearly level topo- graphy to create a soil saturation problem, forming ponds and shallow muddy areas. The Menfro soils are light colored, having developed under a forest cover on narrow ridge tops and steep slopes bordering the Missouri River. These soils are well drained and have a high moisture storage capacity. | Their use for agricultural crops is seriously affected due to their location on steep slopes and erosion of the soil.

  • Annotated Atlatl Bibliography John Whittaker Grinnell College Version June 20, 2012
    1 Annotated Atlatl Bibliography John Whittaker Grinnell College version June 20, 2012 Introduction I began accumulating this bibliography around 1996, making notes for my own uses. Since I have access to some obscure articles, I thought it might be useful to put this information where others can get at it. Comments in brackets [ ] are my own comments, opinions, and critiques, and not everyone will agree with them. The thoroughness of the annotation varies depending on when I read the piece and what my interests were at the time. The many articles from atlatl newsletters describing contests and scores are not included. I try to find news media mentions of atlatls, but many have little useful info. There are a few peripheral items, relating to topics like the dating of the introduction of the bow, archery, primitive hunting, projectile points, and skeletal anatomy. Through the kindness of Lorenz Bruchert and Bill Tate, in 2008 I inherited the articles accumulated for Bruchert’s extensive atlatl bibliography (Bruchert 2000), and have been incorporating those I did not have in mine. Many previously hard to get articles are now available on the web - see for instance postings on the Atlatl Forum at the Paleoplanet webpage http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/forums/26/t/WAA-Links-References.html and on the World Atlatl Association pages at http://www.worldatlatl.org/ If I know about it, I will sometimes indicate such an electronic source as well as the original citation. The articles use a variety of measurements. Some useful conversions: 1”=2.54

  • Chapter III Affected Environment/Consequences
    III-1 Chapter III Affected Environment/Consequences This chapter provides a description of the existing social, economic and natural environmental characteristics present in SIU 6. This inventory serves as a baseline for assessing the possible impacts of the proposed actions. In addition, this chapter describes the potential environmental consequences of the No-Build and Build Alternatives described in Chapter II. A. Social and Economic Setting Social and economic data were collected for both Montgomery and Callaway Counties to provide insight into the study corridor population. Such insights may reveal populations that are at risk for impacts by the proposed action and allow comparisons among different population groups both within and outside the study corridor. Data were collected from the 1990 and 2000 United States Census of Population and Housing to establish current conditions and to determine population characteristic trends. 1. Demographic Conditions a. Population According to the 2000 U.S. Census, Callaway County has a population of 40,766. This represents a 24 percent increase from the 1990 population of 32,809. Nearly 30 percent (12,128) of the county’s residents live in Fulton, located about 15 miles south of Kingdom City. Callaway County is one of the largest counties in the state, consisting of 839 square miles. Population density in the county is 48.6 persons per square mile. The county is approximately 52 percent male and 48 percent female, while 92 percent of the inhabitants are white. The median age in Callaway County is 34.7 years old and 74.6 percent of the population is over 18 years old.

  • The Importance of Cave Exploration to Scientific Research
    Patricia Kambesis – The importance of cave exploration to scientific research. Journal of Cave and Karst Studies, v. 69, no. 1, p. 46–58. THE IMPORTANCE OF CAVE EXPLORATION TO SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH PATRICIA KAMBESIS 1906 College Heights Blvd, Hoffman Environmental Research Institute, Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, Kentucky 42101, [email protected] Abstract: Of the many objects of scientific interest, caves present a unique challenge because, except for entrance areas, caves are largely hidden from view. As a consequence, caves have not generally attracted the attention of mainstream scientists. With the exception of cave entrances noted on some topographic maps, most caves are not apparent from topographic maps, satellite and LANDSAT imagery, or aerial photographs. Caves and their features exist in an environment with no natural light and contain a myriad of physical and psychological obstacles. It is the cave explorer who ventures past these obstacles, motivated by curiosity and the desire to find and document places previously unknown. Systematic cave exploration is a two-fold process that involves the physical pursuit and discovery of caves and cave systems, and field documentation that provides baseline data in the form of cave survey data and notes, cave entrance and cave/karst feature locations and inventories, written observations, and photo-documentation. These data are synthesized into cave maps, topographic overlays, narrative descriptions, and reports that serve as exploration tools for finding more passages and caves. Systematic documentation and its derivative products also bring the hidden nature of caves and their features to the attention of scientists and provide a basis not only for cave-related research but for a wide range of related scientific endeavors.
