increasing. We will continue to work within our capabilities to market the project. A key to marketing the project is active marketing by the CLA. F. Completion of Infrastructure – The Carlyle Lake Project has in excess of $12 million in backlog maintenance items. Because many of the facilities are more than 30 years old, major maintenance and/or replacement are becoming necessary. The approved Carlyle Lake Master Plan and Rehabilitation Plan identifies a plan of action for the necessary repairs. The project has received about $2.5 million in funding above the baselineoperating budget for next year, which will allow for some repairs to be completed. Continuous support from CLA and other interest groups is essential in securing future funding for these major items. In today’s climate of decreasing funding within the government it is becoming increasingly difficult just to operate and maintain facilities and even more difficult to secure funding for major infrastructure repairs. G. Develop a Master Plan including all Entities – During the update of the Carlyle Lake Master Plan, which was completed in 1997, the IDNR, Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of Agriculture, political leaders, adjacent land owners, interest groups and the general public were invited to review and provide input on the Master Plan Update. However, because of the Corps’ limited authority, the plan only covers the Corps owned property at Carlyle Lake (Including lands leased to the IDNR). H. Safety is an extremely high priority to the Corps of Engineers and is continually addressed throughout all aspects of managing the Carlyle Lake Project. I. Make Political Contacts to Help ACOE Fund Projects – With the support of local interest groups, the Carlyle Project received $2.5 million in additional funding, above the baseline budget, for FY’99. Continued support from interest groups and individuals is essential to secure future funding. Restore Resources that were Destroyed by Flooding (to degree possible) The Corps plans to plant a number of acres to rapid growth hardwood trees, next year. These trees will be planted in higher areas around the lake, which will prevent them from being damaged or killed during future high water events. All other issues under this heading addressed in previous concern. Environmental Resources Addressed in previous concern. Protect the Rights of Flowage Easement Owners The Corps does not plan to change the water control plan or increase the lake’s summer or winter pool. Future Water Rights The Corps advocates and fully supports the development of hydropower at the Carlyle Lake Dam. However, we are bound by the water control plan and will not allow the development of hydropower that would require changes to the existing water control plan. The plant would be run of the river and therefore would not require changes to the water control plan. Fairness in how Flooding is Distributed in the Flood Plain and Who gets Flooded This issue is unresolved. 56
CULTURAL RESOURCES ASSESSMENT Cultural resources are archaeological sites, historic structures and traditional cultural places that tell the story of human life. They are preserved on the landscape and in the soil of our farms and cities. The Carlyle Lake Watershed has hundreds of known cultural sites within its boundaries and perhaps thousands of cultural sites that have not yet been discovered and mapped. Two of the counties that make up the most of the watershed, Fayette and Shelby, have 500 known sites; at least 200 of the known sites in Clinton County fall within the watershed. Federal and state historic preservation laws require projects that receive state and federal assistance (technical services or funds), or need licensing by a federal or state agency, to consider cultural resources during project activities. Conservation practices that require soil disturbance, flooding of property, or removal of historic structures, must be evaluated for their impact on cultural resources. Adverse impacts on these resources must by avoided or mitigated. A professional archaeologist can conduct systematic surveys of project area to determine if cultural resources are present and evaluate them for significance if they exist. When significant cultural sites are present in a proposed work area, engineering designs must be altered to avoid the cultural resource. If it is not possible to avoid the resource, a mitigation plan will be formulated to minimize the adverse effect to the site. As the Carlyle Lake Watershed work plan progresses and alternatives are chosen to deal with sedimentation problems, the locations designated for treatment by installation of structural conservation practices (i.e. ponds, water and sediment control basins, etc.) must be examined for cultural resources. It is essential that the costs of cultural resource investigations be included in any proposed work budget and that cultural resource reviews be conducted early in the planning process to alleviate construction delays. 57
