Defense Seminar DESCRIPTION:"Evapotranspiration, Surface Water, and Ground Water Influence s at a Nebraska Sand Hills Wetland Mitigation Site"\nWyatt Webster; Advis or Kyle Hoagland\nThe development of a water budget for a wetland mitigat ion site to address performance standards outlined by the United States A rmy Corps of Engineers (USACoE) is essential in determining site viabilit y in maintaining wetland functions replaced due to Section 404 procedures of The Clean Water Act. The history of wetland mitigation sites in the Sand Hills region of north-central Nebraska is poorly-defined and often n on-existent. Although several wetland complexes in interdunal valleys are well studied (e.g., Burba et al. 1999; Gosselin et al. 2006; Harvey et a l. 2007), studies focusing on the enhancement or restoration of wetland m itigation sites in the Sand Hills are lacking, yet essential in preservi ng regional aquatic resources. A year-long field study was conducted on a semi-arid wetland mitigation site in the Sand Hills. The principal obj ective of this study was to develop a more complete water budget necessar y to meet USACoE regulatory performance standard specifications. Utilizi ng on-site meteorological instrumentation and the Bowen-ratio energy budg et approach, surface energy balance ET measurements were correlated with the influence of the highly variable water table depth and on-site surfac e water retention and flow. Groundwater and surface water fluxes were ass essed via observation wells and a flume. A secondary objective was to mak e use of these estimates to meet credit certification requirements, to al low its use as a wetland mitigation bank site for future Nebraska Departm ent of Roads (NDOR) projects. Thus, this study will benefit NDOR in prov iding a monitoring protocol, as well as the potential acquisition and res toration of additional wetland mitigation sites in the Nebraska Sand Hill s.

Flu vaccinations cost $20 and payment by cash or check i s required at the time of the vaccination. For those with Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance, a claim will be filied for them by UHC staff for possi ble reimbursement (please bring your insurance information with you to th e clinic), however you will still need to pay at time of shot. Flu vaccin ations are also available by appointment at UHC for those unable to atten d a clinic.

Visitors are attracted to the N iobrara River to enjoy the waterfalls, canoeing, kayaking, tubing, swimmi ng, and fishing. This study investigated the impacts of visitors, walking in the streams to visit the waterfalls, on the benthic community. Distur bances can result in a variety of changes such as increased turbidity, in creased drift among aquatic invertebrates, and the elimination of sensiti ve species. \nTen tributaries, located along the south bank of the Niobra ra River were sampled monthly from May through September. The tributaries were divided into five streams that were potentially impacted from visit ors, located upstream, and five streams that were known to have no visito rs. A mini-surber sampler was used to collect benthic invertebrates from upstream sections of the tributary (above the waterfalls with no visitors ) and from downstream, below the waterfall. Current velocity, depth, widt h, and distance from the edge of the tributary were recorded at each loca tion. Water temperature, pH and conductivity were measured and a water sa mple taken to measure total nitrogen, total phosphorus and turbidity. \nI n June, July and August visitor information was collected by volunteers a t each potentially impacted tributary. Volunteers counted the number of t imes each tributary was disturbed. These data, along with daily visitor u se collected by Fort Niobrara, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, will be us ed to estimate the degree of disturbance at each location and its impact on benthic species composition and abundance.
