This book was released on 1978 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carlyle Lake, which covers 10,522 ha (26,000 ac) at normal pool is the largest impoundment in the State of Illinois. Construction was initiated by the St. Louis District of the Corps of Engineers (CE) in 1964 and completed in 1967. The FWS report was prepared in 1954, appended to the CE survey report, and submitted to Congress in 1957. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1958, and therefore fell under the full purview of the 1958 Amendments to the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act. The FWS provided 12 fish and wildlife-related planning recommendations, several of which constituted affirmations of proposed CE design and operational plans for the project and several others which were important, through pro forma articles generally contained in every FWS report of that time-period. With the important exception of the recommended timber clearing, later amended at the request of the conservation agencies to allow standing timber to remain in the upper section of the summer pool, all but one of the six site specific recommendations were implemented by the construction agency. The FWS's recommendation to acquire additional land for wildlife was not implemented by the CE. The apparent losses in squirrel, rabbit, quail and opossum populations far exceeded the pre-project estimates. Contrary to the predicted basinwide adverse impact on deer, it is clear that the project impacts on deer resources were localized and directly related to the amount of deer habitat flooded by the permanent pool.

Book excerpt: Fish and wildlife resource related aspects of the Allegheny Lake project, which is located on the Allegheny River in northwestern Pennsylvania and southwestern New York, were initially described in an August, 1958 Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) report. Information presented in this detailed FWS report was used extensively to document the subsequently issued May 9, 1961 FWS final letter report and May 9, 1961 FWS substantiating report.

This book was released on 1977 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clark Hill Lake received COngressional authorization in 1944 to provide power, flood control and navigation benefits. Post-authorization planning recommendations regarding the project-related fish and wildlife resources were developed by the state and federal wildlife agencies in 1945-1946. These recommendations were submitted in one of the first River Basin Studies Reports. The report was released by the FWS (Fish and Wildlife Statistics) in 1946. Many deficiencies were apparent in this early attempt at interagency cooperative planning for fish and wildlife. Coordination between agencies was woefully inadequate. Consideration of several important impacts of project development on these resources were omitted in the 1946 report. An unusually large acreage was acquired by the construction agency incidental to authorized project purposes. The impacts of this acquisition plan on wildlife resources were inadequately quantified. Major errors in estimating post-project fish and wildlife resources also occurred. Deer and turkey populations were not expected to develop after project construction due to a lack of suitable habitat. However, reforestation of much of the southeast, including the project area, dramatically altered the wildlife habitat and project lands presently support populations estimated at 3,140 deer and 735 turkey. The methods used to develop upland game and fur animal impact predictions, based on sound concepts of carrying capacity and harvestable surplus, were considered satisfactory.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lake impounded by Council Grove Dam, on the Neosho River, Kansas, flooded approximately 24 km (15 mi) of stream and river habitat. Terrestrial wildlife populations dependent upon 1,157 ha (2,860 ac), which were permanently inundated plus an additional 1,004 ha (2,480 ac) in the five-year flood frequency pool, were impacted by the Council Grove project. Upon initiation of water supply storage, an original though not yet contracted project purpose, the project will permanently inundate 1,327 ha (3,280 ac). Inter-agency coordination was poor during the critical early planning stages. Pre-construction fish and wildlife planning recommendations lacked detail and were not submitted in a timely manner. Several major planning recommendations provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in cooperation with the Kansas Forestry, Fish and Game Commission, were never implemented by the Corps of Engineers. Among these recommendations were acquisition of 293 ha (725 ac) of land above the five year flood pool, for wildlife mitigation purposes, and provision of a 15 cfs minimum water release downstream. Acquisition of the wildlife mitigation lands was requested very late in the planning process. This recommended land acquisition plan was rejected by the construction agency on the grounds that the cost: benefit ratio was unfavorable.

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).
