Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Plum Creek, a tributary of Salt River, is located in Shelby, Spencer, Jefferson, and Bullitt Counties, Ky. A watershed protection and flood prevention project was authorized for the Plum Creek Watershed on October 7, 1953. This project was 1 of 65 pilot projects authorized for construction on watersheds throughout the United States. Federal funds were made available for installing these projects by the Department of Agriculture Appropriation Act of 1954. Under this authority, a plan of work was prepared by the Soil Conservation Service, in August 1954, for Shelby, Spencer, Jefferson, and Bullitt County Soil Conservation Districts, recommending improvements needed within the watershed. The improvements planned were designed to alleviate soil and water management problems; primarily, the frequent inundation of flood plain lands, soil erosion, and sedimentation. The Department of Agriculture undertook surveys to evaluate the effects of the improvements installed. This report describes the studies undertaken and sets forth their findings.
