Creek

The employees at Shell had thought that the containment set up on Decker’s Creek, a tributary to the Ohio River, was sufficient to prevent the release of ethylene di-bromide into the River. A plume of ethylene di-bromide was discovered in Huntington, West Virginia which is roughly 90 miles downstream of the plant. The plume was…

(Allen, et al., 2002). The preferred environment for these deposits to form in is submarine near a seafloor opening i.e. black smokers, where hydrothermal fluids escape and precipitate on the ocean bottom (Evans & Moon, 2006). The mineralogy of Kidd Creek VMS deposits often consists out of more than 60 different ore minerals and ore-related gangue minerals, of which 90% or more are iron sulphide such as pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and galena. Minerals like bornite, arsenopyrite,…

In regards to fish communities in Brier Creek, Oklahoma, if the system was stochastic, then you could expect that species would occur randomly throughout the reaches of the creek. However, if the system were to be deterministic then you would expect to find certain species in certain locations. Given the data found within Matthews et al. (2013) as well as data from Smith and Powell (1971), I believe that the fish community of Brier Creek, Oklahoma is deterministic in nature. Throughout my…

One of the greatest places I’ve visited, in my short life, is Fisheating Creek. Now don’t get me wrong as much as I enjoy a good stroll through downtown, nothing beats the great outdoors. Fisheating Creek is a narrow camp ground with a creek parting it down the center. It is a camp ground, so of course you’re surrounded by a plethora of thick hardwood hammocks and cypress swamps. To top it all off there’s practically no power so the only thing to admire at bedtime is a great starry night. So…

Abstract This paper details the causes and extent of the pollution at Tar Creek Superfund site in Ottawa County, Oklahoma. This Superfund site is a heavy metal-contaminated area that was created by the aftermath of zinc and lead mining operations throughout the 1900s. The pollution has put local inhabitants at risk of different health issues, and while risk assessments have shown that no significant health risks are obvious compared to the rest of the state of Oklahoma, blood lead levels have…

motivate their employees by job design, goal-setting, performance appraisals, and performance incentives. Cedar Creek is a privately owned assisted living facility in Crystal River. They have been voted best of the best of assisted livings in Citrus County for 5+ years in a row. Cedar Creek must be doing something right. With interviewing a few of their staff, I can see how Cedar Creek gets that award time and time again. The hands on staff talk about how their suggestions and opinions are…

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge Symbolism is a device that can make even the most solid ideas crumble down because of what the author is trying to say “in between the lines.” Ambrose Bierce wrote “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” with real world experience. “Bierce was especially suited to write stories about the Civil War, since he served in the Union army”(An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, Shmoop). This man was a part of a war, which gave him the knowledge of how things worked in the…

The Ramp Creek mobile home neighborhood houses approximately 800 residents, which is about 6% of the city’s population (City of Heath, 2007). The City of Heath offers a fantastic bike trail system to all residents, however access to the trail system is limited to only a few neighborhoods. In order for Ramp Creek residents to access the trail, they must drive two miles to the closest parking lot. Two miles may not seem like a long way, but when you consider the trail system comes within 100 yards…

30976487 The Oracle of Cougar Creek It was the sun reflecting off the huge blade, in the small clearing ahead, that first caught my attention. The forest path meandered along side the creek and had gradually widened until it framed an incredibly wrinkled old man. He had a large chunk of wood standing as high and wide as himself in front of him, coming to life with every knife slash. The fluidity of his movements bespoke decades of practice and made me stop in wonder. Although the…

satori. The still air represents the breaths of meditation, the breaths are still and steady, the world around him is silent and still, and his thoughts are also still. “Piute Creek” In Piute Creek, Snyder describes the imagery of nature as too much, he wrote: One granite ridge A tree, would be enough Or even a rock, a small creek, A bark shred in a pool. Hill beyond hill, folded and twisted Tough trees…
