Lea, 1852) I. GENERAL INFORMATION A. Methodology used to complete review Public notice of the initiation of this 5-year review was given in the Federal Register on September 8, 2006 (71 FR 53127-53129) and a 60 day comment period was opened. During the comment period, we did not receive any additional information about Arkansas fatmucket (Lampsilis powelllii) other than specific information from biologists familiar with the species. This review was completed by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Arkansas Field Office. Arkansas fatmucket only occurs in the state of Arkansas. Literature and documents on file at the Arkansas Field Office were used for this review. All recommendations resulting from this review are a result of thoroughly reviewing the best available information on the Arkansas fatmucket and the reviewer’s expertise as one of the leading authorities on this species. Comments and suggestions regarding the review were received from Arkansas Field Office supervisors and peer reviews from outside the Service (see Appendix A). No part of the review was contracted to an outside party. B.

  • FY 2007 Monitoring Report As Conversions Are Completed and Data Is Available
    100 Years of Caring for the Land and Serving People The Ouachita National Forest celebrated the forest centennial in 2007. The Ouachita National Forest, originally called the Arkansas National Forest, was created through an executive order issued by President Theodore Roosevelt on December 18, 1907. At first, the Arkansas National Forest consisted solely of reserved public domain lands (part of the Louisiana Purchase) south of the Arkansas River. The 1911 Weeks Law, which authorized Federal purchase of forest lands in the eastern part of the United States, was later used to add thousands of acres of cutover or farmed out lands to the national forest. The largest increases in national forest ownership occurred from 1933 to 1941. In April 1926, President Coolidge changed the name of the Arkansas National Forest to the Ouachita National Forest. He also proposed expanding the national forest and fulfilled this proposal in December 1930 by extending the Ouachita National Forest into Oklahoma. Today, the Ouachita National Forest consists of nearly 1.8 million acres located in thirteen Arkansas counties and two Oklahoma counties. It is the largest and oldest national forest in the Southern Region of the United States. The Forest includes 60 recreation areas, 6 wilderness areas, 2 national wild and scenic rivers, 700 miles of trails, several scenic byways, many special interest (botanical, scenic) areas, abundant historic and prehistoric resources, and habitat for nine federally listed and hundreds of other plant and animal species. It also provides timber and other forest products to the Nation; offers diverse hunting and fishing opportunities; and is the source of high quality drinking water for hundreds of thousands of people in Arkansas and Oklahoma.

    FINAL TMDLs for Copper and Zinc for the Caddo River Basin, Arkansas (HUC-reach 08040102-016, -018, -019, and -023) Prepared for: United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6 Water Quality Protection Division Permits, Oversight, and TMDL Team Dallas, TX Contract Number 68-C-02-108 Task Order 166 Prepared by: Tetra Tech, Inc. 10306 Eaton Place, Suite 340 Fairfax, VA 22030 March 21, 2008 TMDLs for Copper and Zinc in the Caddo River Basin, Arkansas EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Water Quality Planning and Management Regulations (at Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Part 130) require states to develop Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for impaired waterbodies. A TMDL establishes the amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can assimilate without exceeding its water quality standard for that pollutant. TMDLs provide the scientific basis for a state to establish water quality-based controls to reduce pollution from both point and nonpoint sources to restore and maintain the quality of the state’s water resources (USEPA 1991). A TMDL for a given pollutant and waterbody is composed of the sum of individual wasteload allocations (WLAs) for point sources and load allocations (LAs) for nonpoint sources and natural background levels. In addition, the TMDL must include an implicit or explicit margin of safety (MOS) to account for the lack of knowledge concerning the relationship between pollutant loads and the water quality of the receiving waterbody. The TMDL components are illustrated using the following equation: TMDL = ∑ WLAs + ∑ LAs + MOS The study area for this TMDL is the Caddo River Basin in central Arkansas, which is part of Planning Segment 2F.
