This book was released on 1976 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Redmond Reservoir Kansas, is a 3,804 ha impoundment completed by the CE in 1964 to provide flood control, water conservation, recreation, and water supply benefits. The total project of 12,829 ha includes 7,487 ha under cooperative agreement with the FWS for management as a wildlife refuge. An additional 596 ha of project lands are licensed for game management. Post-impoundment surveys indicate that the project (including refuge) annually supports an average of 10.132 man-days of hunting activity. The waterfowl hunting prediction was three times greater, and predicted upland game hunting activity for four greater than actual occurrences. Use of the project by migratory waterfowl was as expected for ducks but was averaged only 20% of the predicted level for geese. The qualitative fisheries predictions were generally accurate. The predicted volume of angling was about 38% higher than the actual angler pressure of 1974. Post-impoundment angling use in the Grand (Neosho) River below the John Redmond Reservoir was four times the value predicted in the pre-impoundment report. The general project evaluation prepared by the FWS in 1961 was perfunctory, at best. Later reports prepared by the FWS in 1963 to justify authorization of the national wildlife refuge, were more comprehensive.

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 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 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.

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 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 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 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 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.
