Download or read book Targeted Supplemental Environmental Assessment for the Parson s Slough Project written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The NOAA RC proposes to construct a partially submerged tidal barrier (sill) at the mouth ofthe Parsons Slough Channel. The purpose of the project is to reduce tidal scour in Parsons Slough and improve essential fish habitat for Coastal Pelagic and Pacific Coast Groundfish species. Construction of the sill requires vibratory and impact pile driving to install sheet pile and end-bearing piles into the seafloor. No impacts to ESA-listed marine mammals under NMFS' jurisdiction are expected to occur. However, non-ESA listed harbor seals may ... experience Level B harassment due to noise from pile driving activities. Impacts are expected to be short term and include avoidance, masking, and interruption of behavioral activities (e.g., resting) at time of exposure. The National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS) proposes to issue an Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA) to permit incidental take of small numbers of marine mammals pursuant to Section 101(a)(5)(D) ofthe Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA)"--Cover letter.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose for the requested deauthorization of the Mill Creek - South Slough (MCSS) project is to eliminate any further Federal maintenance of the project. The MCSS was constructed in 1932 to relieve flooding of Mill Creek in the Village of Milan. Remedial flood protection projects constructed by the Federal Government since 1932 have replaced the protection provided by the project. The Mill Creek outlet to the Rock River has been restored after the closing of the Illinois and Mississippi (I and M) Canal, and the Milan Local Flood Protection Project (LFPP), which was completed by the Rock Island District, Corps of Engineers, in 1987, has provided comprehensive flood protection for the Village of Milan. Since the inception of the Milan project, there is no need to maintain the outdated MCSS, and no Federal money has been expended for yearly maintenance of the project since 1985. In 1974, an Environmental Assessment of the MCSS operations and maintenance project was conducted. The Environmental Assessment concluded that upon completion of the proposed Milan LFPP, the original purpose of the MCSS project will have been fulfilled.

Book excerpt: This is a preliminary evaluation of the status of the science of wetland creation and restoration in the United States. It contains a series of regional reviews. Each review summarizes wetland creation and restoration experiences in broadly defined wetland regions (e.g. Pacific coastal wetlands, wooded wetlands of the Southeast). It also includes a series of theme papers, covering a wide range of topics of general application to wetland creation and restoration (hydrology, management techniques, planning).
Download or read book A Handbook of Global Freshwater Invasive Species written by Robert A. Francis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 918 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invasive non-native species are a major threat to global biodiversity. Often introduced accidentally through international travel or trade, they invade and colonize new habitats, often with devastating consequences for the local flora and fauna. Their environmental impacts can range from damage to resource production (e.g. agriculture and forestry) and infrastructure (e.g. buildings, road and water supply), to human health. They consequently can have major economic impacts. It is a priority to prevent their introduction and spread, as well as to control them. Freshwater ecosystems are particularly at risk from invasions and are landscape corridors that facilitate the spread of invasives. This book reviews the current state of knowledge of the most notable global invasive freshwater species or groups, based on their severity of economic impact, geographic distribution outside of their native range, extent of research, and recognition of the ecological severity of the impact of the species by the IUCN. As well as some of the very well-known species, the book also covers some invasives that are emerging as serious threats. Examples covered include a range of aquatic and riparian plants, insects, molluscs, crustacea, fish, amphibians, reptiles and mammals, as well as some major pathogens of aquatic organisms. The book also includes overview chapters synthesizing the ecological impact of invasive species in fresh water and summarizing practical implications for the management of rivers and other freshwater habitats.

Download or read book Whitebark Pine Communities written by Diana F. Tomback and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whitebark pine is a dominant feature of western high-mountain regions, offering an important source of food and high-quality habitat for species ranging from Clark's nutcracker to the grizzly bear. But in the northwestern United States and southwestern Canada, much of the whitebark pine is disappearing. Why is a high-mountain species found in places rarely disturbed by humans in trouble? And what can be done about it.Whitebark Pine Communities addresses those questions, explaining how a combination of altered fire regimes and fungal infestation is leading to a rapid decline of this once abundant -- and ecologically vital -- species. Leading experts in the field explain what is known about whitebark pine communities and their ecological value, examine its precarious situation, and present the state of knowledge concerning restoration alternatives. The book. presents an overview of the ecology and status of whitebark pine communities offers a basic understanding of whitebark pine taxonomy, distribution, and ecology, including environmental tolerances, community disturbance processes, regeneration processes, species interactions, and genetic population structure identifies the threats to whitebark pine communities explains the need for management intervention surveys the extent of impact and losses to dateMore importantly, the book clearly shows that the knowledge and management tools are available to restore whitebark pine communities both locally and on a significant scale regionally, and it provides specific information about what actions can and must be taken.Whitebark Pine Communities offers a detailed portrait of the ecology of whitebark pine communities and the current threats to them. It brings together leading experts to provide in-depth information on research needs, management approaches, and restoration activities, and will be essential reading for ecologists, land managers, and anyone concerned with the health of forest ecosystems in the western United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US National Space Policy released by the president in 2006 states that the US government should "develop space professionals." As an integral part of that endeavor, "AU-18, Space Primer", provides to the joint war fighter an unclassified resource for understanding the capabilities, organizations, and operations of space forces. This primer is a useful tool both for individuals who are not "space aware"-unacquainted with space capabilities, organizations, and operations-and for those who are "space aware," especially individuals associated with the space community, but not familiar with space capabilities, organizations, and operations outside their particular areas of expertise. It is your guide and your invitation to all the excitement and opportunity of space. Last published in 1993, this updated version of the Space Primer has been made possible by combined efforts of the Air Command and Staff College's academic year 2008 "Jointspacemindedness" and "Operational Space" research seminars, as well as select members of the academic year 2009 "Advanced Space" research seminar.
