    SECTION 3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE RIVER BASIN Section 3 – General Description of the River Basin SECTION 3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE RIVER BASIN “River basin description. A general description of the river basin or subbasin, as appropriate, in which the proposed project is located, including information on: (A) The area of the river basin or subbasin and length of stream reaches therein; (B) Major land and water uses in the project area; (C) All dams and diversion structures in the basin or sub-basin, regardless of function; and (D) Tributary rivers and streams, the resources of which are or may be affected by project operations.” 18 CFR §5.6(d)(3)(xiii) As discussed in Section 1, Introduction, and as shown in Figure 1-1, the Project is located in Nance and Platte counties, Nebraska. The Project begins at the Headworks, which are located approximately 34 miles upstream of the confluence of the Loup and Platte rivers, where a portion of the Loup River flow is diverted into the 35-mile-long Loup Power Canal. The Loup Power Canal discharges to the Lower Platte River at a point approximately 2 miles downstream of the confluence of the Loup and Platte rivers. The Lower Platte River is defined as the reach between the confluence of the Loup and Platte rivers and the confluence of the Platte and Missouri rivers. The Project is located in the Loup River Basin, which is part of the larger Platte River Basin (see Figure 3-1). Information about the Loup River Basin and the vicinity of the Project, which is only a portion of the Loup River Basin, is provided below.

JUNE 2010 WWW.PRAIRIEFIRENEWSPAPER.COM VOLUME 4 I NUMBER 6 A place called Pahaku BYPAUL A. JOHNSGARD THEREis an area in eastern Nebraska where the Platte River, after flowing northeastwardly from the vicinity of Kearney for nearly 150 miles, enters the glacial drift bordering the Missouri Valley and turns directly east. Over its eastward course of about 50 miles, the river forms a shallow and wide sandy channel that is bound- ed to the south by forested bluffs and to the north by a wide wooded floodplain. One of these glacially shaped and loess-capped bluffs was known historically to the resident Pawnee tribe as Pahaku (usually but incorrect- ly speiied as Pahuk) Hill. This Pawnee word may be roughly translated as "mound on or over water," or "headTand." The bluff is one of five natural sites (four of them along the Platte River) in the historic range of the Pawnees that were considered sacred to them, and it is the only remaining location that is still virtually biolog- ically intact.
