    On Sunday 06/19/16 at 0008 hours I was dispatched to Green River Community College located at 12401 SE 320TH ST in the City of Auburn, King Co, WA for a recovery of a stolen vehicle. Dispatch advised a Kent Police Officer who is part of the Auto Theft Task Force, stated there was possible an unoccupied blue Ford pickup with an Idaho plate, but unknown what the number was. Officer T. Nunn arrived to assist me in searching the parking lot of the college and informed me that the truck was possibly related to this case. Officer Nunn went on to say Auburn Police detective D. Burney had put out an "Attempt to Locate/BOLO for a stolen 2005 blue Ford F-250 ID/K17560T". I later printed a copy of the BOLO and included it in the case jacket.…

    After working in the French Creek Watershed I began to hike around the lakes and streams. This means by having cleaner streams I would personally benefit from aesthetically pleasing clean streams. Even on a short weekend walk behind the cemetery I would pick up any bottles or small objects I saw I felt an obligation to give back to the area I was able to enjoy. I also understood it was vital to keep the area clean so it would stay enjoyably and inhabited by the animals I always hope to see. It is shown that people will spend more time hiking in clean areas and bring an economic benefit to the area (Loomis et al., 2000).…

    The Meramec River is located in the upper Ozark Highlands in central-eastern Missouri and spans 218 linear miles before discharging into the Mississippi River in St. Louis (Blanc 1999, Thom et al, Figure 1). This watershed is dominated by Oak-Hickory forests and karst topography; and the Meramec River follows a riffle-run pattern of stream flow (Blanc 1999, Thom et al). Before people dominated the landscape, the driving forces of nature shaped the topography and the subsequent ecosystems that evolved, leaving behind biological and geological relics from the last glacial period (Nagel, 2010). These relics are seen today in the form of outcrops, caves, and ancient species thriving in the cool crevices of this geography (Nagel, 2010). The topography…

    The Burnett River’s recreational activities are ruining the environment. * So much so, that the river can be completely ruined if action is not taken. The river descends 485 metres over its length, and the length is 435 kilometres. The river flows south past Eidsvold and Mundubbera before heading east, next to Gayndah and Wallaville before entering the city of Bundaberg. Boating, fishing, and even something as seemingly innocent as camping can deeply affect the environment if done incorrectly.…

    The Chattahoochee River, Georgia’s most heavily-used water source, is home to a variety of fish and a supplier of over 70% of the drinking water in metro Atlanta; it was also ranked number three on America’s ‘most endangered’ list. Each day, more than 250 million gallons of sewage waste water is dumped in to river, so news that the river is constantly contaminated with E. coli is no surprise. Even with the vast amount of contamination, Georgia allows the dumping of waste to continue; they give out permits to dump in the waters. Without proper laws and regulations, the continued dumping of waste on the Chattahoochee River will eventually cause it to become too contaminated for human use and wildlife survival. The Chattahoochee River begins in the northeast of Georgia and continues down 524 miles to Apalachicola Bay, Florida.…

    Living Lands and Waters 73,374 tires, 981 refrigerators and 1,501 propane tanks, among a countless list of other trash items were found dumped into the Mississippi and its tributaries. These items were collected by Chad Pregracke, and his non-profit organization called Living Lands and Waters (livinglandsandwaters.org, 2015). This organization is dedicated to restore America’s once pristine rivers and waterways.

    The Great Lakes states should not have allowed the diversion of water to Waukesha because the Great Lakes compact technically forbids the diversion, Waukesha could be sharing the water with other communities, and this diversion could open the door for many other diversions. First, in 2008, president George W. Bush signed the Great Lakes Compact. One thing that the compact states is that diversion outside of the basin is banned. An article by Codi Kozacek, writing for Circle of Blue, states that there is an exception to the ban, which is if a county is straddling the basin then they are able to apply for a diversion of water to their community (Kozacek, 2016). Even though Waukesha was eligible to apply for the diversion, there are many other…

    1) Pacific Salmon Life Cycle a) As it stands, man-made dams disrupt the complex and specific life cycle of the Pacific salmon. Dams impact and affect the pivotal reproduction of the salmon species by causing a disturbance in the pattern of migration during the reproductive season. The Pacific salmon goes through two miracles in its lifetime of transformations of changing its entire system to go form fresh water to salt water. The miracles of the fish bodies adapting to the change in environment are caused by migration for dietary and security reasons. Salmon migrate from a young age from freshwater streams into the ocean because of an abundance of food and less predators to increase the probability of growing to mature reproductive age.…
