This book was released on 1981 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beltzville Dam is located in Carbon County, Pennsylvania, on Pohopoco Creek, approximately 8.4 km (5.2mi) above its confluence with the Lehigh River. The primary project purposes for the 383 ha (947 ac) lake are flood control and water supply. The FWS originally indicated that federal acquisition of an area roughly equivalent to the flooded area, and opening of these lands to public hunting, would recover all project-associated wildlife losses. Later, the FWS indicated that mitigation of damages at Beltzville would require the intense management of 121 ha (300 ac) of project land at a cost of $5,600 for initial development and $2,200 O & M annually for a period of five years, for a total five-year cost of $16,600. The FWS further recommended licensing the 121 ha (300 ac) of project lands to the PGC for wild-life management purposes. these actions were considered necessary to replace the project-related projected loss of 200 man-days of hunting. The desired project lands were licensed to the PGC for wildlife management; however, development and operation have been totally at state expense. The prime planning aid relating to fishery resources was prepared by the PFC and FWS in 1964. Total angler-use of the project was predicted to average 33,000 man-days which appears reasonably accurate.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lake Red Rock is located on the Des Moines River 96 km (60 mi) below Des Moines, Iowa. The project was authorized to provide flood control and low flow augmentation. The authorized conservation pool covers 3,622 ha (8,950 ac) but the project has recently been operated with a conservation pool of 4,634 ha (11,540 ac) to accommodate the flow augmentation storage lost due to sedimentation. A total of 19,267 ha (47,608 ac) were acquired in fee title for project purposes. Construction of the reservoir resulted in a significant reduction in the amount of cropland and the loss (1,672 ha (4,130 ac)) of flood plain woodland. On the other hand, the Red Rock Lake project created a large, public holding and created wildlife habitat unique to this area of Iowa. Comparison of aerial photographs failed to demonstrate quantifiable alteration of habitat types below the dam following completion of the project. (Author).

This book was released on 1979 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authorized by the Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938, Public Law No. 761 (Seventy-fifth Congress, third session), the East-Lynn Reservoir Project provides for flood control, recreation, and fish and wildlife conservation. The project is located on East Fork of Twelvepole Creek in Wayne County, West Virginia, approximately six air miles southeast of Wayne, West Virginia. Reservoir impoundment was initiated in the spring of 1972. At seasonal recreation pool elevation of 202 m (662 ft) mean sea level, the project consists of a 407 ha (1, 0005 ac) lake completely surrounded by approximately 9,521 ha (23,527 ac) of contiguous highlands, comprising an overall project acquisition of 9,928 ha (24,532 ac) in fee. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) submimitted three separate reports (August 15, 1961; July 2, 1964; and October 9, 1964) describing pre-project conditions and predicting post-impoundment impacts on fish and wildlife resources. Fishery considerations were treated in greater depth than wildlife aspects in all three FWS reports. The FWS reports correctly predicted that adverse impacts on fish and wildlife utilization attributable to the project could be successfully mitigated. Fish and wildlife have benefitted substantially from the project as a result of the newly developed reservoir fishery and the large area of peripheral land purchased in conjunction with the project which is protected from incompatible uses.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Littleville Reservoir is located on the Middle Branch of the Westfield River, Mass. The project was authorized in 1958 to provide flood control and water supply benefits. The reservoir--completed in 1965--covers 111 ha at water supply elevation and 206 ha at full flood pool. The total project includes 680 ha of land and water. In their Nov 27, 1961 planning report, the FWS recommended that hunting be permitted on project lands but did not recommend alternative action if the lands should be closed to hunting. Thus, subsequent action by the City of Springfield closing the project lands to hunting resulted in an unmitigated loss of hunting potential on 680 ha of publicly owned lands. It was anticipated that the locally important trout fishery supported by a section of the Middle Branch of the Westfield River 4 km in length would be replaced by a reservoir trout fishery but low trout stocking rate possibly was responsible for lower than expected post-impoundment angling pressure. In general, cooperation and coordination between the State and Federal agencies were inadequate during both pre-construction and post-construction periods.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lake Sharpe was authorized in 1944 as part of the Pick-Sloan plan for the comprehensive development of the Missouri River Basin. The dam is located near Pierre, South Dakota. The existing project totals 32,353 ha including a 22,582 ha conservation pool. Implementation of the FWS's land acquisition plan for wildlife mitigation was encumbered by the location and extent of Indian lands and the unwillingness of the Indians to sell. Land acquisition was further handicapped by procedural disagreements between the State and the construction agency. As a result, the 1,174 ha wildlife management area recommended by the FWS to mitigate wildlife losses was not acquired. Fish and wildlife resources associated with the project have developed incidentally to authorized project purposes. Waterfowl use of Lake Sharpe proper, and the entire four-reservoir Missouri River complex proved to be of greater magnitude than was predicted by the FWS. This has occurred in the absence of the 1,174 ha wildlife management area requested by the FWS. A complete loss of big game hunting in the vicinity of the reservoir, as predicted by the FWS, was not substantiated by the available county-by-county hunting pressure and harvest data.

This book was released on 1977 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fish and wildlife resources associated with the Ice Harbor Lock and Dam project have been the object of active planning at various times over a period of nearly 20 years. Over the years, the perceived importance of fish and wildlife resources has been upgraded dramatically. This evolution in the perception of fish and wildlife values is manifest in the recorded documentation of the Ice Harbor Lock and Dam project. Detailed and comprehensive recommendations were presented by the affected federal fish and wildlife agencies (FWS and NMFS) in a special compensation report released in 1972. These currently proposed compensation actions relate to fish and wildlife resources associated with all four lock-and-dam projects constructed by the CE on the lower Snake River, including Ice Harbor. While vastly improved over the 1959 document, the current report contains significant errors pertaining to project-related hunting predictions and to the actions recommended to compensate for the lost resident fishery.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eufaula Dam is located in eastern Oklahoma at river mile 27 on the Canadian River approximately 19 km (12 mi) east of Eufaula and 50 km (31 mi) south of Muskogee, Oklahoma. Eufaula Lake, the largest body of water in Oklahoma, extends into McIntosh, Haskell, Pittsburg and Okmulgee countries, Oklahoma. Construction of the dam was initiated in December, 1956, and final closure was made for flood control in February, 1964. At full power pool, Eufaula Lake inundates 41,360 ha (102,200 ac) extending upstream from the dam on the Candian River and three tributary streams (North Canadian River, Deep Fork River and Gaines Creek). A total of 74,167 ha (183,264 ac) were acquired for the project. Project lands acquired above the power pool total some 20,715 ha (51,187 ac) extending in a narrow band around the highly convoluted 965 km (600 mi) lake shoreline. Much of the vicinity of the lake is devoted to agriculture, particularly livestock production, or has been subdivided for home sites for year-round or seasonal occupancy.
