  • WIS 23 2018 LS SFEIS Project ID 1440-13/15-00 Section 4(F) and 6(F)
    SECTION 5 SECTION 4(f) AND 6(f) THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 5 Section 4(f) and 6(f) 5.1 Introduction This section provides information on unique properties throughout the WIS 23 corridor and how Section 4(f) or Section 6(f) designation was determined. This discussion of Section 4(f) and 6(f) resources is different from the information presented in the 2014 Limited Scope Supplemental Final Environmental Impact Statement (LS SFEIS) as follows: The Taycheedah Creek Wetland Mitigation Site, located in the southwest corner of the existing US 151 and WIS 23 interchange, is not discussed in this document. It was previously determined that Section 4(f) did not apply to this property because the US 151 and WIS 23 interchange is no longer included in the alternatives being considered. This determination has not changed. Discussion about the site is incorporated by reference (2014 LS SFEIS). For the St. Mary’s Springs Academy site, the 2014 LS SFEIS noted there was no longer a Section 4(f) use of the property. That status has not changed. All of the build alternatives are the same in the vicinity of the property. The site is briefly summarized in Section 4.7 B-6 and the full discussion is incorporated by reference (2014 LS SFEIS). The 2014 LS SFEIS included a Section 4(f) de minimis finding for the Old Wade House State Park. The property is no longer a state park and is now called the Wade House Historic Site. This document provides the Section 4(f) de minimis finding for the Wade House Historic Site.

  • Behavior of the James Lobe, South Dakota During Termination I
    Behavior of the James Lobe, South Dakota during Termination I A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in the Department of Geology of the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences by Stephanie L. Heath MSc., University of Maine BSc., University of Maine July 18, 2019 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Thomas V. Lowell Dr. Aaron Diefendorf Dr. Aaron Putnam Dr. Dylan Ward i ABSTRACT The Laurentide Ice Sheet was the largest ice sheet of the last glacial period that terminated in an extensive terrestrial margin. This dissertation aims to assess the possible linkages between the behavior of the southern Laurentide margin and sea surface temperature in the adjacent North Atlantic Ocean. Toward this end, a new chronology for the westernmost lobe of the Southern Laurentide is developed and compared to the existing paradigm of southern Laurentide behavior during the last glacial period. Heath et al., (2018) address the question of whether the terrestrial lobes of the southern Laurentide Ice Sheet margin advanced during periods of decreased sea surface temperature in the North Atlantic. This study establishes the pattern of asynchronous behavior between eastern and western sectors of the southern Laurentide margin and identifies a chronologic gap in the western sector. This is the first comprehensive review of the southern Laurentide margin since Denton and Hughes (1981) and Mickelson and Colgan (2003). The results of Heath et al., (2018) also revealed the lack of chronologic data from the Lobe, South Dakota, the westernmost lobe of the southern Laurentide margin.

  • Annual Report Welcome 2019
    2019 ANNUAL REPORT WELCOME 2019 Dear Friends, Curiosity: It’s the driving force behind science, and it’s one of the founding emotions that shape humans’ interaction with the world. This year during the ninth annual Wisconsin Science Festival, more than 30,000 stoked their curiosity at more than 300 events statewide! Once again, hundreds of businesses, schools, universities, civic groups, libraries and museums joined together to make the festival a reality. Powered by the sponsors who make the festival financially possible, the festival’s reach included more cities and counties than ever before. Numbers, however, don’t adequately describe the impact that the festival’s grassroots network of partners have on Wisconsin. That story is illustrated by the faces of youth who experience STEM in ways they had never imagined before attending a festival expo, it unfolds during conversations between scientists and patrons at your local pub, and it continues to expand as we all explore the ways that science is everywhere in our lives. October 15, 2020, will kick off the tenth Wisconsin Science Festival. We can’t wait to keep writing that story of curiosity with you! Yours in curiosity, Laura Heisler Director, Wisconsin Science Festival Director of Programming, Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation Director of Outreach, Morgridge Institute for Research #WiSciFest | WiSciFest.org About the Wisconsin Science Festival The Wisconsin Science Festival is a statewide celebration of science, technology, engineering, art and math. With events encompassing hands-on science exhibitions, demonstrations, performances, pub nights, workshops and more, the festival truly offers something for everyone. We aim to inspire and engage everyone in the enterprise of science and discovery; to cultivate curiosity; to communicate the power of knowledge and creativity to change our world view; to promote innovation and to cultivate the next generation of global citizens.

    SECTION 6 MEASURES TO MINIMIZE ADVERSE EFFECTS THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 6 Measures to Minimize Adverse Effects 6.1 Access During Construction Section 6 discusses measures to minimize harm during construction and lists commitments that are made as part of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. This section is essentially the same as presented in the 2014 Limited Scope Supplemental Final Environmental Impact Statement (LS SFEIS) except sections have been updated as more information has become available through the design process. Yellow highlight signifies updates since the May 2018 Limited Scope Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (LS SDEIS). Minor changes to grammar, punctuation, and usage are not highlighted. Highlighting of a figure or table title signifies updated or new information. Section 101(b) of NEPA requires that federal agencies incorporate into project planning all practicable means to avoid environmental degradation; preserve historic, cultural, and natural uses; and promote the widest range of beneficial uses. Section 6 summarizes concept-level impact mitigation commitments for the WIS 23 improvement project and lists specific commitments. Proposed mitigation measures reflect comments received from the public and agencies. Agency coordination since the 2014 LS SFEIS has included the following: 1. An updated wetland delineation by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) in summer and fall of 2017. 2. Coordination with WDNR regarding updating rare species within the corridor in August 2017. 3. Coordination with expert panel and an Indirect Effects Workshop in October 2017. 4.

  • 2013-2014 Wisconsin Blue Book
    STATISTICS: HISTORY 677 HIGHLIGHTS OF HISTORY IN WISCONSIN History — On May 29, 1848, Wisconsin became the 30th state in the Union, but the state’s written history dates back more than 300 years to the time when the French first encountered the diverse Native Americans who lived here. In 1634, the French explorer Jean Nicolet landed at Green Bay, reportedly becoming the first European to visit Wisconsin. The French ceded the area to Great Britain in 1763, and it became part of the United States in 1783. First organized under the Northwest Ordinance, the area was part of various territories until creation of the Wisconsin Territory in 1836. Since statehood, Wisconsin has been a wheat farming area, a lumbering frontier, and a preeminent dairy state. Tourism has grown in importance, and industry has concentrated in the eastern and southeastern part of the state. Politically, the state has enjoyed a reputation for honest, efficient government. It is known as the birthplace of the Republican Party and the home of Robert M. La Follette, Sr., founder of the progressive movement. Political Balance — After being primarily a one-party state for most of its existence, with the Republican and Progressive Parties dominating during portions of the state’s first century, Wisconsin has become a politically competitive state in recent decades. The Republicans gained majority control in both houses in the 1995 Legislature, an advantage they last held during the 1969 session. Since then, control of the senate has changed several times. In 2009, the Democrats gained control of both houses for the first time since 1993; both houses returned to Republican control in 2011.
