Mounds (Indiana) - Great Mound

A complex of earthwork mounds, henges, and rectangular enclosures in Madison County, Indiana.. Archaeological investigation, including excavation, physical survey, and artifact analysis show the entire site to have been built and used (fairly continuously) over a period of 300 years, beginning around 250 BCE.

The cultural affiliations assigned have included Adena and Hopewell. Excavations show some of the original structures to have been prepared clay floors and low platforms and assemblies of posts. Embankments and mounds were created starting about 90 years later.

Much of the site remains, including the 285 foot long Circle Mound and the 384 foot diameter Great Mound. Even some much eroded and reduced earthworks have been mapped and can be found during early spring before the ground cover foliage is out.

The majority of the mounds are situated on a terrace 50 - 60 feet above the White River. Considering the exploitation of the site as an amusement park at the turn of the 20th century, it is surprising that any of the site remains. The state of Indiana manages the mounds and lush second growth woodland as a State Park. The location listed is for the small visitors center. Walking trails and interpretive signage.

National Register of Historic Places listing added 1973 - - #73000022.

Ball State professors poke holes in Mounds Lake study by bat400 on Monday, 30 March 2015
(User Info | Send a Message)
A state-funded feasibility study for creating a reservoir on the White River underestimates the cost of the project and lacks data to support the conclusion that the cost can be covered through the sale of drinking water, according to a group of Ball State University professors who conducted a peer review of the study.

The Ball State peer review, released March 4, was signed by 14 faculty members in biology, anthropology, geology, archeology and economics.

The Mounds Lake Reservoir study underestimated the cost of private-land acquisition alone by $56 million, which would be enough the render the project impracticable even if there were no other unexpected mitigation costs, the Ball State review said. The proposal calls for a seven-mile-long body of water that would extend from the Mounds Mall area in Anderson to Yorktown.

...

The reservoir plan has been controversial since it was made public in early 2013. Several environmental groups said they would prefer to see an expanded riverside trail system rather than a reservoir.

    (User Info | Send a Message)
    The 3 Mar 2013 Memorandum for Record Subject: Mounds Lake Phase II Peer Review: Cultural Resources, from Ball State University College of Sciences and Humanities Department of Anthropology strongly faults the Mounds Lake Phase II report as being "...the treatment of Cultural Resources and Historic Properties to be insufficient or misleading in detail regarding the scale of potential resources and properties to be effected by the proposed undertaking, and in the apparent understanding of the legal framework within which resources and properties are considered."

    The memorandum also states, "There are also several cases where the evidence is presented or analyzed in a way that seems to be designed to skew deliberations more favorably towards construction. In multiple instances this takes the form of putting forth assertions that are not supported by reasoning or substantiated by evidence. This is true in several sections of the report and not just the Social sections considered here. This combined with the complete absence of discussion of alternative options is contrary to the spirit of informed discussion."

    In particular, the current report notes only 80 previously known archeological and historic sites in the footprint of the proposed reservoir project, but the professors and archaeologists anticipate 1000 archaeological sites are likely to be found during state a federal mandidated surveys.

    "Integral to the setting and feeling of the mounds at [Mounds State Park] is the relationship to the bluff and the river. Alteration of aspects of the surrounding environment that contribute to the setting and feeling integrity evaluation for the Anderson Mounds may have an impact on the National Register of Historic Places eligibility status for the entire earthworks complex even in the absence of a direct physical impact on the mounds themselves. The impact to those aspects of the surrounding environment must be considered as adverse effects or potentially adverse effects on the mounds ..., and must be considered in the consultation and mitigation phase of the permitting process. We would also note that avoidance is always a valid alternative mitigation strategy for addressing potential adverse effects. This is not acknowledged in the current Phase II report."

    Mounds Lake Commission proposal could see vote in April by bat400 on Monday, 30 March 2015
    (User Info | Send a Message)
    One of the biggest concerns raised during the Mounds Lake public forum on Feb. 26 might be coming to a vote sooner than originally thought. The passage of the commission could prove to be another uphill battle for those backing the project.
    The Mounds Lake Commission an entity comprising of representatives from six regional government bodies including the Madison and Delaware County Commissioners and Councils, as well as Anderson, Chesterfield, Daleville and Yorktown that are dedicated to overseeing the project's next steps.

    Rob Sparks, the head of Anderson's Corporation for Economic Development (CED), the current driving force behind the project, said that his group will be bringing the commission formation proposal to the governments to vote on in the next two weeks.

    During the February public forum hosted by the League of Women Voters and the Heart of the River, Jeff Stant with the Indiana Forrest Alliance speculated that if the Mounds Lake commission were formed, the project would have enough momentum to be built.

    "If you read the resolution, it says we want one formed to build the reservoir; it isn't about looking at the options," said Stant in a earlier article by The Star Press.
    "This commission would then become a local government juggernaut and would have actual legal weight. If you want to beat this project you have to stop the commission from being formed."

    The wording of the resolution obtained by The Star Press via the CED's website states that "(commission members) wishes to create and establish a multiple county infrastructure authority... to pursue a plan for the development, financing, permitting and construction of a reservoir."

    "Formation of the Mounds Lake Commission does not commit any government entity to building a reservoir.Under the terms of the proposed ordinance government entities actually have the ability to withdraw, if they believe the interest of their community is no longer being served by the commission," the FAQ reads.

    Members of Daleville and Yorktown town councils are seriously considering the proposal because of the information about the project that would be lost by not being involved in the process.

    When it comes to the government entities, the project remains in the air.

    Heart of the River, a group opposed to the reservoir, along with the League of Women Voters have been speaking to both town councils, asking them to vote against the commission.

    A letter made public by the county board of health is urging the commissioners and county council to consider voting against the Mounds Lake reservoir project. Health board members also told the county commissioners and council that they believe a "no" vote from either board would kill the project.
    "Before construction in 2020, the project would need to be approved by all of the seven taxing entities in Madison and Delaware counties, including the Delaware County commissioners and the Delaware County Council," health board members wrote.

    Neither the Delaware County commissioners nor county council have voted on the proposal yet. Barring any special meetings that are called, the commissioners will next meet on April 6, and the council's is on April 22. Yorktown's next meeting is on April 20 and Daleville's on April 13.
    The next step, should the commission pass, will be examination of phase three studies and acquiring funding for the project.

    Indiana Parks Alliance Resolution to oppose the construction of dam and reservoir by Andy B on Tuesday, 31 March 2015
    (User Info | Send a Message)
    Heart of the River have a blog here
    https://heartoftheriver.wordpress.com/

    Some more info here - Indiana Parks Alliance Resolution, dated 2-20-15

    “The Indiana Parks Alliance opposes the construction of a dam and reservoir on the White River at Anderson, Indiana known as the Mounds Lake project.

    The proposed Mounds Reservoir would inundate approximately 1/3 of Mounds State Park, including the Mounds Fen State Nature Preserve in its entirety. These are significant and unique natural areas which cannot truly be mitigated. The proposed reservoir would also threaten the nationally significant Anderson Mounds, a National Register archeological site that was of ceremonial and ritual significance to Native Americans.

    The Indiana Parks Alliance believes that our state parks and nature preserves deserve the strongest protection. The state law that established the system of dedicated state nature preserves states that the properties “are to be held in trust for the benefit of the people of Indiana of present and future generations,” and are only to be taken for other public uses if there is an “imperative and unavoidable necessity.” It is the belief of IPA that destruction of this dedicated state nature preserve would undermine this law, and imperil all state nature preserves.”

Grass Roots Coalition Opposes Economic Development Corp Reservoir Plan by bat400 on Wednesday, 19 November 2014
(User Info | Send a Message)
The Heart of the River Coalition of mainly environmental organizations was formed in 2013 after the Anderson Corporation for Economic Development (CED) announced a proposed dam and reservoir on White River in the spring of 2013.

The announcement was the first local media coverage of a three year old plan by the CED. With the stated goals to meet future water needs for central Indiana and boost the local economy, the Corporation sought and received grants from the state government ($65,000 to date) for a feasibility study which is on-going. The stated plan indicates no tax-payer dollars will be used to actually build the project and that the CED is seeking "regional, national, or international funder."

Less obviously, the project has implied an improved public benefit of a large reservoir (as opposed to further enjoyment of the current White River as a free flowing stream.) The project will also condemn over 400 residential and business properties through eminent domain, while enhancing other properties as new "lakefront" locations.

Most drastically for the White River landscape, the bluffs above the river would become a shoreline with a sudden underwater drop off, drowning mature trees, altering the ecosystems and wildlife and lapping at the Mounds State Park ancient sites. The CED's public relations campaign, called "Imagine Mounds Lake" says the planned water level will be 30 feet below the elevation of the mounds. However, topographic maps displayed by Department of Natural Resources personnel at their display at the 2014 Indiana State Fair showed the flood stage encroaching Circle Mound and numerous smaller mounds in the vicinity of the park's camp grounds. (The camp grounds and hiking trails will also be either drowned or destroyed to build structures in an attempt to mitigate erosion of the bluffs as they become a "shore line".)

For this reason the Indiana Archaeological Council has opposed the dam and reservoir proposal.

Indiana Archaeology Council Opposed: Reservoir could threaten Great Mound by bat400 on Wednesday, 19 November 2014
(User Info | Send a Message)
The Indiana Archaeology Council is opposed to the proposed Mounds Lake reservoir citing possible damage to historic sites within Mounds State Park.

Don Cochran, archaeologist emeritus at Ball State University, said the reservoir project threatens significant archaeological sites in the state park.

He was one of the panelists that addressed concerns about the proposed reservoir hosted by the Heart of the River on the Anderson University campus last week.

The Anderson/Madison County Corporation for Economic Development is proposing construction of a $450 million reservoir that will dam the White River in an area around Mounds Mall and extend to Yorktown. The dam will create a 2,100-acre lake with the depth ranging from 50 feet at the dam to nine feet in the Daleville area.

Cochran said when the Mounds State Park site was originally acquired by the state the intent was to restore the natural environment around the historic ancient mounds.

“The reservoir violates the stated intent,” he said. “There are nine to 12 earthworks remaining in the park.”

Some of the mounds located in the state park are believed to be more than 2,000 years old.

“There is no other site in Indiana like at Mounds State Park,” Cochran said.

The reservoir project would impact the state park during construction and produce shoreline erosion of the bluffs overlooking the White River.

“Erosion is a given,” Cochran said. “There are three mounds within 100 feet of the shoreline bluffs.”

Mitigation elements are possible, but Cochran believes none would be effective in protecting the mounds. He said one would be placing stone, plastic mesh and planting to stabilize the banks along White River. He said the steep slopes leading to the river would have to be reconfigured, but he believes erosion will still take place.

“There could be an excavation of part of the area for artifacts, but would result in the destruction of the remainder of the site,” Cochran said.

The Indiana Archaeology Council opposes the proposed Mounds Lake saying it would have devastating and destructive impact on the unique earthworks known as Anderson Mounds within the park.

Archaeologists worry proposed Indiana reservoir would threaten ancient mounds. by bat400 on Wednesday, 19 November 2014
(User Info | Send a Message)
ANDERSON, Indiana — Archaeologists are worried that a proposed reservoir on the White River in central Indiana could threaten ancient sites in Mounds State Park.

Retired Ball State University archaeologist Don Cochran says three of the park's earthworks are within 100 feet of the projected shoreline for Mounds Lake and that erosion could be expected.

The Herald Bulletin reports (http://bit.ly/1xM0XLN) the Indiana Archaeology Council is opposing the project, saying it would have a destructive impact on the park's mounds. Those were built more than 2,000 years ago by the Adena-Hopewell people.

Reservoir advocates say the $450 million project would improve flood control, create prime real estate for waterfront housing and boost economic development in the Anderson area.
