Indiana Law Enforcement Academy
The Indiana Law Enforcement Academy

Indiana Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division is the law enforcement division of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, the fish and game regulatory agency of Indiana. The department has jurisdiction anywhere in the state and in state territorial waters. Indiana conservation officers not only enforce state laws, but teach outdoor education courses, conduct river rescue, cave rescue, underwater search and recovery, and have K-9 teams.

History
In 1897, the Indiana legislature gave the Commissioner of Fisheries authority to appoint at least one deputy in every county. In 1911, an act was passed establishing game wardens, this makes the Law Enforcement Division Indiana’s oldest state law enforcement agency.

Organization
The DNR's Law Enforcement Division employs 214 conservation officers. The division operates 10 law enforcement districts throughout the state. The division headquarters is in Indianapolis.

DNR's Law Enforcement Division employs 214 conservation officers who serve the public and protect the natural Hoosier heritage of the state of Indiana. The division has its headquarters in Indianapolis and operates 10 law enforcement districts throughout the state. In 1897, the legislature gave the Commissioner of Fisheries power to appoint at least one deputy in every county. In 1911, an act was passed establishing game wardens. The Law Enforcement Division is Indiana’s oldest state law enforcement agency, and one of the most diverse.

is the fish & game regulatory agency of Louisiana. It has jurisdiction anywhere in the state, and in state territorial waters. The agency enforces both state and federal laws dealing with hunting, fishing, and boating safety. The agency also enforces criminal laws in rural areas including DWI enforcement both on highways and waterways. Most of the Department’s Wildlife Agents also carry Federal law enforcement commissions issued from the United States Department of the Interior - U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and United States Department of Commerce - U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). These federal commissions allow these state officers to enforce federal migratory waterfowl laws and federal marine fisheries laws in state and federal waters off the coast of Louisiana. Besides their traditional role as a “game warden”, Louisiana Wildlife Enforcement Agents also have a number of other responsibilities, including conducting board of health inspections on some portions of the state’s commercial fishing industry. Agents are trained in and conduct numerous search and rescue operations, both in remote land areas and on the state’s waterways. Agents ensure that hunters, anglers, boaters, dealers, breeders, farmers, and transporters are in compliance with regulations governing equipment, quotas, licenses, and registrations. Agents also assist other State departments and law enforcement agencies in the coordination of educational and professional endeavors, as well as national and state emergency alerts by the Federal Office of Emergency Preparedness. In addition, agents perform search and rescue missions alone or in conjunction with other local, state, and federal agencies.

Indianapolis Storage Tunnel System
=Deep Rock Tunnel Connector= The Deep Rock Tunnel Connector (DRTC) project is a 7.5 mile (12.2km) combined sewer overflow project currently under construction in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The project is a federally-mandated plan to curb the overflow of raw sewage into Indianapolis rivers and streams. The goal of the project is to "improve the quality of life in Indianapolis neighborhoods by reducing the amount and frequency of raw sewage overflows". The project is part of the Long Term Control Plan required under a consent decree with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM). The project is being constructed under the authority of Citizens Energy Group.

Citizens Water will also assume responsibility for the City's Long Term Control Plan, which is mandated under a Consent Decree with the U.S. EPA to minimize combined sewer overflows into the White River and other area streams. In addition, Citizens Water will continue the City's Septic Tank Elimination Program (STEP), which is bringing sewer service to areas of Marion County, where failing septic tanks are jeopardizing public health and the environment.

Design
The design engineer for the project is AECOM.

The project was started on May 2011 is projected to be completed in May 2016.

The project will come at an estimated $257 million.

to capture as much as 97 percent of the current combined sewer overflows that flow into Indianapolis waterways during rainfall events. The first of such tunnels is a 7-mile long that is 18 foot in diameter 250 feet below the ground that will capture approximately 250 million gallons of raw sewerage during large rainfalls. The captured wastewater will subsequently be processed and treated at the Belmont and Southport Wastewater treatment plants and then released into the White River. The $257 million project – Citizens’ largest combined sewer overflow project to date – will be complete and operational by late 2017.

Summary As part of a consent decree with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Citizens Energy Group is constructing a series of underground tunnels, known as the Deep Rock Tunnel Connector project, to capture as much as 97 percent of the current combined sewer overflows that flow into Indianapolis waterways during rainfall events. The first of such tunnels is a 7-mile long that is 18 foot in diameter 250 feet below the ground that will capture approximately 250 million gallons of raw sewerage during large rainfalls. The captured wastewater will subsequently be processed and treated at the Belmont and Southport Wastewater treatment plants and then released into the White River. The $257 million project – Citizens’ largest combined sewer overflow project to date – will be complete and operational by late 2017.

Scope of Work The Deep Rock Tunnel Connector project has several features, including a large number of vent shafts and drop shafts along its route. At one specific drop shaft location at CSO 117 where slurry walls were to be installed it was discovered that several unmarked and unknown utilities were present. As a result, slurry wall installation was stopped and Mezzetta was contracted to locate, repair, replace and relocate sewer pipes ranging in size from 8 to 54 inches in diameter. During the evaluation phase, Mezzetta verified whether each pipe was “live” or “abandoned” and worked to repair, replace or relocate them before any slurry wall activity could resume.

Anticipated Benefits
• Capture and treat an additional 1 billion gallons of raw sewage through 2021 when compared to the original design • Improve management of flows between the city’s two treatment plants • Minimize inconveniences to local residents Sustainable and Green Concepts: • Eliminate one of two previously planned pumping stations, saving the city millions of dollars in upfront capital costs and long-term operating costs • Improve energy efficiency of operations for longterm reduced environmental impacts • Beneficially reuse limestone bedrock removed during construction of the tunnel • Limit utility disruptions, resulting in further savings Project schedules and costs are subject to change. www.indy.gov/DPW

Southern Indiana
Southern Indiana, in the United States, is notable because it is culturally distinct from the rest of the state. The area's geography has led to a blend of Northern and Southern culture that is not found in the rest of Indiana.

Culturally, there are many distinctive characteristics. Southern Indiana speech patterns (know as Hoosier Twang) gravitate toward a Southern drawl, though the accent is considerably less pronounced than in points further south in the Upland South or in the Deep South. The Roman Catholic Church has a significant presence in the region. Noteworthy Catholic institutions in Southern Indiana include St. Meinrad Archabbey, one of two Catholic archabbies/seminaries in the United States and Mount St. Francis, a large retreat center in Floyd County.

Southern Indiana's topography is considerably more varied and complex than central and northern Indiana, including large tracts of forest (e.g., Hoosier National Forest), rolling fields, and a chain of low mountains/high hills (800-1,000 ft.) called the Knobstone Escarpment, or simply "Knobs." The region also includes the oldest exposed Devonian fossil beds in the world at the Falls of the Ohio state park in Clarksville.

Southern Indiana was the first area of the state to be settled, and the first state capital was located in Corydon in Harrison County near the Ohio River. In particular, the south-central portion of the region is part of the greater Louisville, Kentucky metropolitan area, and many people living in Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties work, attend school, and shop in Louisville.

The definition of Southern Indiana is usually at least composed of three county "tiers": The first tier would be the southernmost, all of which border the Ohio River. North of it is the second tier, and north of that is the third tier. The first three tiers are geographically within the Golden Circle as proposed in the 1850s (see Golden Circle (Slavery)}.

Counties included in the Southern Indiana region by "tier" going west to east are below.

First Tier: Posey, Vanderburgh, Warrick, Spencer, Perry, Crawford, Harrison, Floyd, Clark. Second Tier: Gibson, Pike, Dubois, Orange, Washington, Scott, Jefferson, Switzerland, Ohio. Third Tier: Knox, Daviess, Martin, Lawrence, Jackson, Jennings, Ripley, Dearborn Fourth Tier (only counties commonly included are listed): Sullivan, Greene, Monroe, Brown. The region's largest city is Evansville, in the southwest corner of the state. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 121,582, and a metropolitan population of 342,815.
