To quantify the effects of increased urbanization on storm runoff volumes and peak discharges, rainfall-runoff models of the basin were developed to simulate runoff for 1970-75 and 1990-93 conditions. Hourly rainfall data for 1949-93 were used with the rainfall-runoff models to simulate a long-term record of storm runoff. The hydrologic effects of increased urbanization from 1970-75 to 1990-93 were analyzed by comparing the simulated annual peak discharges and volumes, and storm runoff peaks, frequency of annual peak discharges and runoff volumes, and duration of storm peak discharges for each study period. A Log-Pearson Type-III frequency analysis was calculated using the simulated annual peaks to estimate the 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, and 100-year recurrence intervals. The estimated 2-year discharge at the outlet of the basin was 646 cubic feet per second for the 1970-75 conditions and 1,328 cubic feet per second for the 1990-93 conditions. The 100-year discharge at the outlet of the basin was about 14,000 cubic feet per second for the 1970-75 and 1990-93 conditions. The station duration analysis used 925 model-simulated storm peaks from each basin to estimate the percent chance a peak discharge is exceeded. At the outlet of the basin, the chances of exceeding 100 cubic feet per second were about 33 percent under 1970-75 conditions and about 59 percent under 1990-93 conditions. The chance of exceeding 2,500 cubic feet per second at the outlet of the basin was less than 1 percent higher under the 1990-93 conditions than under the 1970-75 conditions. The increase in urbanization from the early 1970's to the early 1990's more than doubled the peak discharges with a 2-year return period. However, peak discharges with return periods greater than 50 years were not significantly affected by the change in urbanization.

The 2.2-cubic-yard cement-lined pit was operated from 1980 to 1983 by a contractor to the U.S. Army Air Defense Artillery Center and Fort Bliss. The pit, located on the Fort Bliss military reservation in El Paso, Texas, was used for disposal and evaporation of chromic acid waste generated from chrome plating operations. The site was closed in 1989, and the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission issued permit number HW-50296 (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency number TX4213720101), which approved and implemented post-closure care for the Chromic Acid Pit site. In accordance with an approved post-closure plan, the U.S. Geological Survey is cooperating with the U.S. Army in monitoring and evaluating groundwater quality at the site. One upgradient groundwater monitoring well (MW1) and two downgradient groundwater monitoring wells (MW2 and MW3), installed adjacent to the chromic acid pit, are monitored on a quarterly basis. Groundwater sampling of these wells by the U.S. Geological Survey began in December 1993. The groundwater level, measured in a production well located approximately 1,700 feet southeast of the Chromic Acid Pit site, has declined about 29.43 feet from 1982 to 1995. Depth to water at the Chromic Acid Pit site in September 1995 was 284.2 to 286.5 feet below land surface; groundwater flow at the water table is assumed to be toward the southeast. Groundwater samples collected from monitoring wells at the Chromic Acid Pit site during water year 1995 contained dissolved-solids concentrations of 481 to 516 milligrams per liter. Total chromium concentrations detected above the laboratory reporting limit ranged from 0.0061 to 0.030 milligram per liter; dissolved chromium concentrations ranged from 0.0040 to 0.010 milligram per liter. Nitrate as nitrogen concentrations ranged from 2.1 to 2.8 milligrams per liter; nitrite plus nitrate as nitrogen concentrations ranged from 2.4 to 3.2 milligrams per liter. Water samples from wells MW1 and MW2 were analyzed for volatile organic compounds for the first quarter; no confirmed volatile organic compounds were detected above laboratory reporting limits. Detected chemical concentrations in water from the chromic acid pit monitoring wells during the four sampling periods were below U.S. Environmental Protection Agency-established maximum contaminant levels for public drinking-water supplies. Overall, water-quality characteristics of water from the chromic acid pit groundwater monitoring wells are similar to those of other wells in the surrounding area. Statistical analyses were performed on 56 of the chemical constituents analyzed for in groundwater from the chromic acid pit monitoring wells. Concentrations of chloride, fluoride, sulfate, and potassium were significantly less in water from one or both downgradient wells than in water from the upgradient well. Concentrations of nitrate as nitrogen, nitrite plus nitrate as nitrogen, and dissolved solids were significantly greater in water from the downgradient wells than in water from the upgradient well. Concentrations of nitrate as nitrogen, chloride, and potassium were significantly different in water from the two downgradient wells. Statistical analysis of chemical constituents in water from the chromic acid pit monitoring wells did not appear to indicate a release of hazardous chemicals from the chromic acid pit. There was no indication of groundwater contamination in either downgradient well. JF - USGS Branch of Information Services, Box 25286, Denver Federal Center, Denver, CO 80225 (USA). 1997.

Water samples were collected from 268 wells in 12 counties from 1984 through 1987 and were analyzed for nitrate concentrations; water samples from 210 of the wells were analyzed for atrazine. A number of hydrochemical, climatic, hydrologic, soil, and land-use explanatory variables, which were believed to affect the contamination of ground water by agricultural chemicals, were identified and quantified for each of the 268 wells. Multiple regression methods were used to determine which explanatory variables were statistically related to groundwater concentrations of nitrate and atrazine. Regression models predicting nitrate and atrazine concentrations were produced that explained from about 50 to 68 percent of the variation in the dependent variables. Geographic-information-system methods were used to produce maps predicting nitrate and atrazine concentrations in ground water for one study area using selected regression and logistic models. The results of this study indicate that multiple regression techniques coupled with geographic information systems can be an effective means of identifying areas of potential groundwater contamination by nitrate and atrazine.

Equations for estimating pier, contraction, and abutment scour have been developed from numerous laboratory studies using sand-bed flumes, but little verification of these scour equations has been done for actual rivers with various bed conditions. This report describes the results of reconnaissance and detailed scour assessments and a sediment-transport simulation for selected bridge sites in South Dakota. Reconnaissance scour assessments were done during 1991 for 32 bridge sites. The reconnaissance assessments for each bridge site included compilation of general and structural data, field inspection to record and measure pertinent scour variables, and evaluation of scour susceptibility using various scour-index forms. Observed pier scour at the 32 sites ranged from 0 to 7 feet, observed contraction scour ranged from 0 to 4 feet, and observed abutment scour ranged from 0 to 10 feet. Thirteen bridge sites having high potential for scour were selected for detailed assessments, which were accomplished during 1992-95. These detailed assessments included prediction of scour depths for 2-, 100-, and 500-year flows using selected published scour equations; measurement of scour during high flows; comparison of measured and predicted scour; and identification of which scour equations best predict actual scour.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-10-08 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Karst hydrogeology and hydrochemistry of the Cave Springs Basin near Chattanooga, Tennessee AN - 16096801; 4202821 AB - The Cave Springs ground-water basin, located near Chattanooga, Tennessee, was chosen as one of the Valley and Ridge physiographic province type area studies for the Appalachian Valley-Piedmont Regional Aquifer-System Analysis study in 1990. Karstic Paleozoic carbonate rocks, residual clay-rich regolith, and coarse alluvium form the aquifer framework. Recharge from rainfall dispersed over the basin enters the karst aquifer through the thick regolith. The area supplying recharge to the Cave Springs Basin is approximately 7 square miles. Recharge from North Chickamauga Creek may contribute recharge to the Cave Springs Basin along losing reaches. The flow medium consists of mixed dolomite and limestone with cavernous and fracture porosity. Flow type as determined by the coefficient of variation of long-term continuous specific conductance (18 and 15 percent) from two wells completed in cavernous intervals about 150 feet northeast of Cave Springs, indicates an aquifer with conduit flow. Flow type, based on the ratio (6:1) of spring flood-flow discharge to spring base-flow discharge, indicates an aquifer with diffuse flow. Conduit flow probably dominates the aquifer system west of Cave Springs Ridge from the highly transmissive, unconfined, alluvium capped aquifer and along losing reaches of North Chickamauga Creek. Diffuse flow probably predominates in the areas along and east of Cave Springs Ridge covered with the thick, clay-rich regolith that forms a leaky confining layer. Based on average annual long-term precipitation and runoff records, the amount of water available for recharge to Cave Springs is 11.8 cubic feet per second. The mean annual long-term discharge of Cave Springs is 16.4 cubic feet per second which leaves 4.6 cubic feet per second of recharge unaccounted for. As determined by low-flow stream discharge measurements, recharge along losing reaches of North Chickamauga Creek may be an important source of unaccounted-for-recharge to the Cave Springs Basin. Selected ground-water samples in the study area are characterized by calcium bicarbonate type water and calcium magnesium bicarbonate type water. Calcium bicarbonate type water characterizes Lick Branch and Poe Branch. North Chickamauga Creek water is calcium magnesium sulfate type water and reflects interaction with the pyrite-containing siliciclastic rocks of the Cumberland Plateau or acid mine drainage. Seasonal high spring discharge is associated with lower specific conductance and lower temperatures, which lag in response to increasing spring discharge by approximately 2 months. Seasonal decrease in spring discharge is accompanied by an incident increase in specific conductance and temperature increase, which leads by about 4 months.

Precipitation in the two basins was about equal for the study period. During 1940-63, streamflows in the Waccamaw and Lumber Rivers were essentially identical relative to average conditions. The flow regime from the late 1950's to the early 1980's was distinctly wetter than the flow regimes which immediately preceded and followed this period. Following 1963, droughts in the Waccamaw Basin seem to have been less severe than in the Lumber Basin, and the annual 1-, 7-, and 30-day low flows exhibited a slightly increasing trend in the Waccamaw River. Mean daily flow in the Waccamaw River at the 90-percent exceedance level (low flows) during 1985-94, a relatively dry period, was very nearly equal to flows at the same exceedance level for 1970-79, the wettest 10-year period between 1940 and 1994. Prior to the 1980's, flows per unit drainage area in the Waccamaw Basin were generally less than those in the Lumber Basin, but after 1980, the opposite was true. There is an increasing trend in the difference between Waccamaw River and Lumber River high flows, primarily as a result of increases in Waccamaw River high flows. On average, streamflow in the Waccamaw River consisted of 53.3 percent base flow, but base flow accounted for 70.6 percent of the total flow in the Lumber River, which is more typical of Coastal Plain streams. The ratio of base flow to runoff in the Waccamaw River may have changed relative to that in the Lumber River in the late 1970's. There was greater variability in Waccamaw River streamflow than in Lumber River flow, and flow variability in the Waccamaw River may have increased slightly during 1985-94.

The three aquifers composing the shallow system are, in order of increasing depth, the unconfined Holly Beach water-bearing zone and the confined estuarine sand and Cohansey aquifers. The changes to the groundwater system have been greatest in the confined aquifers near the three major well fields on the Cape May peninsula. Formerly productive water-supply wells have been abandoned because of saltwater contamination. Concern about anthropogenic contamination has prevented shifting of withdrawals to the unconfined aquifer. Surface-water sources have also been little used. Further development on the peninsula involving increased water demand will exacerbate the current saltwater-encroachment problems. The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility of possible water-supply-development alternatives by use of predictive groundwater flow simulations. The alternatives involve (1) injection of tertiary-treated wastewater to replenish aquifer storage and create a hydraulic barrier to saltwater encroachment, (2) withdrawal of brackish water in order to create a hydraulic barrier, (3) conjunctive use of ground water and surface water, enabling the reduction of groundwater withdrawals, and (4) redistribution of withdrawals inland to the unconfined aquifer. Results of these simulations can potentially be used in the design of a water-supply-development strategy that preserves supply and a monitoring program that ensures early warning of saltwater encroachment, thereby allowing sufficient time for development of an alternative supply. The water-supply-development alternatives were evaluated by comparison of results of predictive simulations made with a previously calibrated groundwater flow model of the shallow aquifer system. The quasi-three-dimensional sharp-interface model was calibrated to 1988 annual average hydrologic conditions. The planning period for the predictive simulations is 1989-2049. For the planning period, total public-supply withdrawals were increased 100 percent over average 1983-88 withdrawals. Results of a baseline simulation involving only the increased withdrawals were compared to each of the simulated alternatives, which also include the withdrawals. Hydraulic heads, saltwater-freshwater interface movement, and groundwater flows were compared. Simulation results indicate that the barrier-injection or barrier-withdrawal scheme could be useful in managing the water supply for a specific location. The conjunctive-use scheme would provide a marginal regional hydrologic benefit. Redistribution of withdrawals appears to be the only regional alternative that would result in recovery of groundwater levels and would substantially slow saltwater encroachment; however, anthropogenic land-surface contamination of the unconfined aquifer would have to be considered if the redistribution alternative is acted upon.

Applying these techniques to watersheds in west-central Florida requires that some of the empirical relationships be extrapolated beyond tested ranges. As a result, there is uncertainty as to the accuracy of these estimates. Sixty-six storms occurring in 15 west-central Florida watersheds were initially modeled using the Rational Method, the U.S. Geological Survey Regional Regression Equations, the Natural Resources Conservation Service TR-20 model, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center-1 model, and the Environmental Protection Agency Storm Water Management Model. The techniques were applied according to the guidelines specified in the user manuals or standard engineering textbooks as though no field data were available and the selection of input parameters was not influenced by observed data. Computed estimates were compared with observed runoff to evaluate the accuracy of the techniques. One watershed was eliminated from further evaluation when it was determined that the area contributing runoff to the stream varies with the amount and intensity of rainfall. Therefore, further evaluation and modification of the input parameters were made for only 62 storms in 14 watersheds. Estimates of peak discharges and runoff volumes were initially made for watersheds in west-central Florida using recommended procedures, then compared to observed peak discharges and runoff volumes. Subsequently, they were modified to increase accuracy for this area. The same methods used during the study could be used in other parts of the world to evaluate the accuracy of standard methods for estimating stormwater runoff.

Industrial use increased dramatically during the late 1970's and early 1980's because of increased exploration and development of uranium and coal resources. The San Juan structural basin is a northwest-trending, asymmetric structural depression at the eastern edge of the Colorado Plateau. The basin contains as much as 14,000 feet of sedimentary rocks overlying a Precambrian basement complex. The sedimentary rocks dip basinward from the basin margins toward the troughlike structural center, or deepest part of the basin. Rocks of Triassic age were selected as the lower boundary for the study. The basin is well defined by structural boundaries in many places with structural relief of as much as 20,000 feet reported. Faulting is prevalent in parts of the basin with displacement of several thousand feet along major faults. The regional aquifers in the basin generally are coincident with the geologic units that have been mapped. Data on the hydrologic properties of the regional aquifers are minimal. Most data were collected on those aquifers associated with uranium and coal resource production. These data are summarized in table format in the report. The regional flow system throughout most of the basin has been affected by the production of oil or gas and subsequent disposal of produced brine. To date more than 26,000 oil- or gas-test holes have been drilled in the basin, the majority penetrating no deeper than the bottom of the Cretaceous rocks. The general water chemistry of the regional aquifers is based on available data. The depositional environments are the major factor controlling the quality of water in the units. The dominant ions are generally sodium, bicarbonate, and sulfate. A detailed geochemical study of three sandstone aquifers--Morrison, Dakota, and Gallup--was undertaken in the northwestern part of the study area. Results of this study indicate that water chemistry changed in individual wells over short periods of time, not expected in a regional flow system. The chemistry of the water is affected by mixing of recharge, ion filtrate, or very dilute ancient water, and by leakage of saline water. The entire system of groundwater flow and its controlling factors has been defined as the conceptual model. A steady-state, three-dimensional groundwater flow model was constructed to simulate modern predevelopment flow in the post-Jurassic rocks of the regional flow system. In the groundwater flow model, 14 geologic units or combinations of geologic units were considered to be regional aquifers, and 5 geologic units or combinations of geologic units were considered to be regional confining units.

Seepage survey results indicated that streamflow loss in the vicinity of the municipal well field ranged from 1 to 5 ft super(3)/s (cubic feet per second). Simulations of May 1993 conditions indicate that well pumping decreased simulated streamflow by an average of 3.03 ft super(3)/s for the month, of which 2.45 ft super(3)/s was induced infiltration from the stream and 0.58 ft super(3)/s was intercepted baseflow. Of the total well pumpage for May 1993 (265 acre-feet), about 57 percent was from induced infiltration from the river, about 13 percent was from intercepted base flow, and about 30 percent was from decreased aquifer storage, outflow from the aquifer, evapotranspiration, and increased recharge and inflow to the aquifer. Simulations of November 1994 conditions indicate that well pumping decreased simulated streamflow by an average of 3.15 ft super(3)/s for the month, of which 1.0 ft super(3)/s was contributed from the stream and 2.15 ft super(3)/s was contributed from intercepted base flow. Of the total well pumpage for November 1994 (264 acre-feet), about 22 percent was from induced infiltration from the river, about 48 percent was from intercepted base flow, and about 30 percent was from decreased aquifer storage, outflow from the aquifer, evapotranspiration, and increased recharge and inflow to the aquifer. Steady-state simulations of hypothetical conditions were conducted to develop graphs that show the relations among groundwater levels in the well field, pumping rate, and streamflow.

The model simulated ground-water flow in 12 hydrostratigraphic units representing all of the major sources of ground water from aquifers of Jurassic and younger age. Ten map reports in the U.S. Geological Survey Hydrologic Investigations Atlas 720 series were prepared in conjunction with this investigation. The units that were described in the atlases were the San Jose, Nacimiento, and Animas Formations; Ojo Alamo Sandstone; Kirtland Shale and Fruitland Formation; Pictured Cliffs Sandstone; Cliff House Sandstone; Menefee Formation; Point Lookout Sandstone; Gallup Sandstone; Dakota Sandstone; and Morrison Formation. Additional descriptions of the alluvial and landslide deposits, Chuska and Crevasse Canyon Sandstones, Lewis and Mancos Shales, Wanakah Formation, and Entrada Sandstone are included in this report. Much of the information in the HA-720 series was generated from digital computer data bases that were directly usable by the computer for compilation of input data for the model. In essence, the major components of the ground-water-flow model were described and documented in the series of hydrologic atlases. The primary finding resulting from the ground-water-flow simulation was that boundary conditions and internal geometry of the aquifers are the major controls of steady-state ground-water flow and hydraulic heads in the San Juan Basin. Another significant finding was that the computed steady-state ground-water flux is a very minor component (about 1 percent) of the total water budget of the basin.

Low-flow characteristics are summarized for 22 continuous-record gaging stations in North Carolina (19 sites) and Virginia (3 sites) and 60 partial-record gaging stations in the North Carolina Roanoke River Basin. Records of discharge collected through the 1994 water year are used. Flow characteristics included in the summary are (1) average annual unit flow, (2) 7Q10 low-flow discharge, the minimum average discharge for a 7-consecutive-day period occurring, on average, once in 10 years; (3) 30Q2 low-flow discharge; (4) W7Q10 low-flow discharge, similar to 7Q10 discharge except that flow during November through March only is considered; and (5) 7Q2 low-flow discharge. The potential for sustaining base flows is moderate to high in the western part of the basin as well as in the eastern and western fringes of the Piedmont and Coastal Plain physiographic provinces, respectively. Areas of low potential for sustaining base flow exist in the central part of the basin (between eastern Caswell County and western Warren County), where soils have low infiltration rates, and in lower regions of the Coastal Plain, where small streams tend to have zero flow during prolonged drought. Drainage area and low-flow discharge profiles are presented for 10 streams in the Roanoke River Basin in North Carolina and reflect a wide range in basin size, characteristics, and streamflow conditions. The selected streams are Town Fork Creek, Hogans Creek, Mayo River, Buffalo Creek, Smith River, Country Line Creek, Dan River, Marlowe Creek, Hyco River, and Roanoke River. The drainage-area profiles show the increases in drainage areas as streams travel their course in the basin. At the mouths of streams profiled, the drainage areas range from 22 miles to about 9,700 miles. Low-flow discharges for each stream include 7Q10, 30Q2, W7Q10, and 7Q2 discharges in a continuous profile with contributions from major tributaries included.

Results of previous investigations at Picatinny Arsenal, Morris County, New Jersey, indicate that significant contamination of ground water, surface water, and soil is present at the arsenal. Forty-five streambed-material samples were collected for analysis to determine whether contaminants have migrated to the brook from the surrounding area. Samples were analyzed for trace elements, base/neutral- and acid-etractable compounds, insecticides, and other constituents. Results of an electromagnetic-conductivity and natural-gamma-ray survey were used to describe the distribution of particle sizes in streambed and substreambed sediments. Historical results of analyses of streambed-material and surface-water samples also are presented. Samples of streambed material from three areas in Green Pond Brook and its tributaries contained organic and (or) inorganic constituents in concentrations greater than those typically found at the arsenal. These areas are Green Pond Brook, from the area near the outflow of Picatinny Lake downstream to Farley Avenue; Bear Swamp Brook, from the area near building 241 downstream to the confluence with Green Pond Brook; and Green Pond Brook, from the open burning area downstream to the dam near building 1178. Contaminants identified include trace elements, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, and organochlorine insecticides. Surface water in Green Pond Brook contained several volatile organic compounds, including trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, and 1,2-dichloroethylene, at maximum concentrations of 3.8, 4.6, and 11 micrograms per liter, respectively. Volatilization is expected to remove volatile organic compounds in the steep, fastflowing reaches of the brook. No organic or inorganic constituents were detected in surface-water samples in concentrations greater than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency primary drinking-water regulations. Only two constituents, iron and manganese, were detected in concentrations greater than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency secondary drinking-water regulations.

Ground water that had previously discharged at the Sound is now being deflected southwest, toward withdrawals located near the city of Savannah, Georgia, and the island of Hilton Head. The reversal of this hydraulic gradient and the decline of water levels have caused saltwater in the Upper Floridan aquifer north of Port Royal Sound to begin moving southwest, toward water-supply wells for the town of Hilton Head and toward industries pumping ground water near Savannah. Analytical results from groundwater samples collected from wells in the Upper Floridan aquifer beneath and adjacent to Port Royal Sound show two plumes in the aquifer with chloride concentrations above the drinking-water standard. One plume of high chloride concentration extends slightly south of the theoretical predevelopment location of the steady-state freshwater-saltwater interface as indicated by numerical modeling. The other plume is present beneath the town of Port Royal, where the upper confining unit above the Upper Floridan aquifer is thin or absent. In these areas, the decline in water levels caused by groundwater withdrawals may have made it possible for water from tidal creeks to enter the Upper Floridan aquifer. Many wells completed in the upper permeable zone of the Upper Floridan aquifer show a distinct specific-conductance profile. One non-producing, monitoring well on Hilton Head Island (BFT-1810) was selected to depict a worst-case scenario to examine the short- and long-term water-chemistry and chloride fluctuations in the aquifer. Specific conductance was monitored at depths of 170, 190, and 200 feet below the top of the well casing. The specific conductance measured in 1987 ranged from approximately 450 microsiemens per centimeter near the top of the Upper Floridan aquifer to 1,500 microsiemens per centimeter near the lower, less permeable zone. Short-term fluctuations in conductance were measured at each probe and were found to be related to water-level fluctuations in the well caused by tidal cycles. The conductance varied regularly up to 100 microsiemens per centimeter, with an increasing time lag between high and low tides and low and high specific conductance for progressively shallower depths. Well BFT-1810 was monitored for specific conductance and water levels from October 1987 through September 1993. Specific conductance at the 170-foot probe showed little long-term change, while the 190- and the 200-foot probes showed long-term increases to approximately 4,000 and 10,000 microsiemens per centimeter, respectively. This well is located closest to one of the two plumes of saltwater delineated in the Upper Floridan aquifer, and the long-term chloride increases are a result of the movement of saltwater in the Upper Floridan aquifer toward Hilton Head Island under the influence of regional groundwater withdrawals.

The study that determined this minimum flow did not account for the effects of ice formation on habitat. An investigation was made during periods of ice formation. Hydraulic properties and field water-quality data were measured in winter only from March 1993 to April 1995 at six transects in the lower Bradley River. Discharge in the lower Bradley River ranged from 42.6 to 73.0 cubic feet per second (average 57 cubic feet per second) with ice conditions ranging from near ice free to 100 percent ice cover. Stream water velocity and depth were adequate for habitat protection for all ice conditions and discharges. No relation was found between percent ice cover and mean velocity and depth for any given discharge and no trends were found with changes in discharge for a given ice condition. Velocity distribution within each transect varied significantly from one sampling period to the next. Mean depth and velocity at flows of 40 cubic feet per second or less could not be predicted. No consistent relation was found between the amount of wetted perimeter and percent ice cover. Intragravel-water temperature was slightly warmer than surface-water temperature. Surface and intragravel-water dissolved-oxygen levels were adequate for all flows and ice conditions. No apparent relation was found between dissolved-oxygen levels and streamflow or ice conditions. Excellent oxygen exchange was indicated throughout the study reach. Stranding potential of salmon fry was found to be low throughout the study reach. The limiting factors for determining the minimal acceptable flow limit appear to be stream-water velocity and depth, although specific limits could not be estimated because of the high flows that occurred during this study.

The study was designed to quantify the hydrogeologic characteristics and understand the ground-water flow system of a highly productive and complex thickly mantled carbonate valley. The Cumberland Valley is characterized by complexly folded and faulted carbonate bedrock in the valley bottom, by shale and graywacke to the north, and by red-sedimentary and diabase rocks in the east-southeast. Near the southern valley hillslope, the carbonate rock is overlain by wedge-shaped deposit of regolith, up to 450 feet thick, that is composed of residual material, alluvium, and colluvium. Locally, saturated regolith is greater than 200 feet thick. Seepage-run data indicate that stream reaches, near valley walls, are losing water from the stream, through the regolith, to the ground-water system. Results of hydrograph-separation analyses indicate that base flow in stream basins dominated by regolith-mantled carbonate rock, carbonate rock, and carbonate rock and shale are 81.6, 93.0, and 67.7 percent of total streamflow, respectively. The relative high percentage for the regolith-mantled carbonate-rock basin indicates that the regolith stores precipitation and slowly, steadily releases this water to the carbonate-rock aquifer and to streams as base flow. Anomalies in water-table gradients and configuration are a result of topography and differences in the character and distribution of overburden material, permeability, rock type, and geologic structure. Most ground-water flow is local, and ground water discharges to nearby springs and streams. Regional flow is northeastward to the Susquehanna River. Average-annual water budgets were calculated for the period of record from two continuous streamflow-gaging stations. Average-annual precipitation range from 39.0 to 40.5 inches, and averages about 40 inches for the model area. Average-annual recharge, which was assumed equal to the average-annual base flow, ranged from 12 inches for the Conodoguinet Creek, and 15 inches for the Yellow Breeches Creek. The thickly-mantled carbonate system was modeled as a three-dimensional water-table aquifer. Recharge to, ground-water flow through, and discharge from the Cumberland Valley were simulated. The model was calibrated for steady-state conditions using average recharge and discharge data. Aquifer horizontal hydraulic conductivity was calculated from specific-capacity data for each geologic unit in the area.

Such releases have generated concern regarding local groundwater quality and the potential impact on nearby water-supply wells. Consequently, a study is being conducted to characterize the environmental and hydrologic conditions in the area. Existing reports from numerous previous investigations in the area were reviewed and relevant information from these documents was compiled. Both ground-and surface-water elevations were measured approximately monthly at as many as 50 sites during mass measurements. Selected sites were measured more frequently to assess short-term changes in the ground- and surface-water systems. Supplemental data were also collected outside of the study area to aid in interpretation. Ground water was sampled and analyzed to define the extent of the area affected by petroleum hydrocarbons and chlorinated solvents. Data show that water levels in nearby rivers and sloughs have a considerable influence on groundwater flow in the study area. Seasonal and shorter term changes in river stage frequently alter and even reverse the direction of groundwater flow. The local groundwater system typically has an upward flow component, but this component is reversed in the upper part of the aquifer during periods of high water levels in the Chena River. These periodic changes in the magnitude and direction of groundwater flow have a considerable influence on the transport of dissolved hydrocarbons in the subsurface. Both petroleum hydrocarbons and chlorinated solvents were found in ground water at the study area. Typical degradation products of these compounds were also found, indicating that biodegradation by indigenous microorganisms is occurring.

The routes use part of a Copper River and Northwest Railway alignment along the Copper River through mountainous terrain having numerous glaciers. An advance of any of several glaciers could block and destroy the roadway, whereas retreating glaciers expose large quantities of unconsolidated, unvegetated, and commonly ice-rich sediments. The purpose of this study was to map historical locations of glacier termini near these routes and to describe hazards associated with glaciers and seasonal snow. Historical and recent locations of glacier termini along the proposed Copper River Highway routes were determined by reviewing reports and maps and by interpreting aerial photographs. The termini of Childs, Grinnell, Tasnuna, and Woodworth Glaciers were 1 mile or less from a proposed route in the most recently available aerial photography (1978-91); the termini of Allen, Heney, and Schwan Glaciers were 1.5 miles or less from a proposed route. In general, since 1911, most glaciers have slowly retreated, but many glaciers have had occasional advances. Deserted Glacier and one of its tributary glaciers have surge-type medial moraines, indicating potential rapid advances. The terminus of Deserted Glacier was about 2.1 miles from a proposed route in 1978, but showed no evidence of surging. Snow and rock avalanches and snowdrifts are common along the proposed routes and will periodically obstruct the roadway. Floods from ice-dammed lakes also pose a threat. For example, Van Cleve Lake, adjacent to Miles Glacier, is as large as 4.4 square miles and empties about every 6 years. Floods from drainages of Van Cleve Lake have caused the Copper River to rise on the order of 20 feet at Million Dollar Bridge.

Groundwater-flow systems generally are local, and ground water discharges to streams. Both ground water and surface water in the basin are used for drinking-water supply. Groundwater quality and the relation between groundwater quality and hydrogeologic and land-use factors were assessed in 1993 in bedrock aquifers of the basin. A total of 82 wells were sampled from July to November 1993 using a stratified random sampling scheme that included 8 hydrogeologic and 4 land-use categories to distribute the samples evenly over the area of the basin. The eight hydrogeologic units were determined by formation or lithology. The land-use categories were (1) forested, open, and undeveloped; (2) agricultural; (3) residential; and (4) industrial and commercial. Well-water samples were analyzed for major and minor ions, nutrients, volatile organic compounds (VOC's), pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyl compounds (PCB's), and radon-222. Concentrations of some constituents exceeded maximum contaminant levels (MCL) or secondary maximum contaminant levels (SMCL) established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for drinking water.

Several options created for the MODFLOW groundwater model were used in representing this field situation. The primary option is the MODBRANCH interfacing software, which allows leakage to be accounted for between the MODFLOW groundwater model and the BRANCH dynamic model for simulation of flow in an interconnected network of open channels. A modification to an existing software routine, which is referred to as BCF2, allows cells in MODFLOW to rewet when dry--a requirement in representing the seasonal wetlands in Dade County. A companion to BCF2 is the modified evapotranspiration routine EVT2. The EVT2 routine changes the cells where evapotranspiration occurs, depending on which cells are wet. The Streamlink package represents direct connections between the canals and wetlands at locations where canals open directly into overland flow. Within the BRANCH model, the capability to represent the numerous hydraulic structures, gated spillways, gated culverts, and pumps was added. The application of these modifications to model surfacewater /groundwater interactions in southern Dade County demonstrated the usefulness of the coupled MODFLOW/BRANCH model. Ground-water and surface-water flows are both simulated with dynamic models. Flow exchange between models, intermittent wetting and drying, evapotranspiration, and hydraulic structure operations are all represented appropriately. Comparison was made with a simulation using the RIV1 package instead of MODBRANCH to represent the canals. RIV1 represents the canals by user-defined stages, and computes leakage to the aquifer. Greater accuracy in reproducing measured ground-water heads was achieved with MODBRANCH, which also computes dynamic flow conditions in the canals, unlike RIV1. The surface-water integrated flow and transport two-dimensional model (SWIFT2D) was also applied to the southeastern coastal wetlands for comparison with the wetlands flow approximation made in MODFLOW. MODFLOW simulates the wetlands as a highly conductive upper layer of the aquifer, whereas SWIFT2D solves the hydrodynamic equations. Comparison in this limited test demonstrated no specific advantage for either method of representation. However, much additional testing on a wider variety of geometric and hydraulic situations, such as in areas with greater tidal or other dynamic forcing effects, is needed to make definite conclusions. A submodel of the existing southern Dade County model schematization was used to examine water-delivery alternatives proposed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. For this application, the coupled MODFLOW/BRANCH model was used as a design tool. A new canal and several pumps to be tested to maintain lower water levels in a residential area (while water levels in the Everglades are raised) were added to the model schematization. The pumps were assumed to have infinite supply capacity in the model so that their maximum pumping rates during the simulation could be used to determine pump sizes.

The analysis was conducted to evaluate the current (1993) network and to determine if reactivating discontinued gaging stations and adding new gaging stations on small drainage areas would improve regional peak-flow information. Peak flows having recurrence intervals of 15, 50, and 100 years and planning horizons of zero and 10 years for three hydrologic regions in North Dakota were used in the network analysis. Results of the network analysis indicate that the average sampling mean-square error could be reduced by about 10 percent for the 15-, 50-, and 100-year recurrence intervals by reactivating a minimum of two to five discontinued gaging stations in each hydrologic region. The reactivated discontinued gaging stations added to the current (1993) network should be located on streams having small drainage areas and steep main-channel slopes. For the 15-year recurrence interval and a 10-year planning horizon, adding a new gaging station at two new locations in each region instead of reactivating two discontinued gaging stations in each region would reduce the average sampling mean-square error by an average of about 13 percent in each region. The new gaging stations added to the current (1993) network should be located on streams having small drainage areas and mild or steep main-channel slopes in order to obtain improved regional peak-flow information.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-10-08 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Hydrogeology and water quality of the shallow aquifer system at the Explosive Experimental Area, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren site, Dahlgren, Virginia AN - 16095493; 4202818 AB - In October 1993, the U.S. Geological Survey began a study to characterize the hydrogeology of the shallow aquifer system at the Explosive Experimental Area, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Site, Dahlgren, Virginia, which is located on the Potomac River in the Coastal Plain Physiographic Province. The study provides a description of the hydrogeologic units, directions of groundwater flow, and background water quality in the study area to a depth of about 100 feet. Lithologic, geophysical, and hydrologic data were collected from 28 wells drilled for this study, from 3 existing wells, and from outcrops. The shallow aquifer system at the Explosive Experimental Area consists of two fining-upward sequences of Pleistocene fluvial-estuarine deposits that overlie Paleocene-Eocene marine deposits of the Nanjemoy-Marlboro confining unit. The surficial hydrogeologic unit is the Columbia aquifer. Horizontal linear flow of water in this aquifer generally responds to the surface topography, discharging to tidal creeks, marshes, and the Potomac River, and rates of flow in this aquifer range from 0.003 to 0.70 foot per day. The Columbia aquifer unconformably overlies the upper confining unit 12-an organic-rich clay that is 0 to 55 feet thick. The upper confining unit conformably overlies the upper confined aquifer, a 0- to 35-feet thick unit that consists of interbedded fine-grained to medium-grained sands and clay. The upper confined aquifer probably receives most of its recharge from the adjacent and underlying Nanjemoy-Marlboro confining unit. Water in the upper confined aquifer generally flows eastward, northward, and northeastward at about 0.03 foot per day toward the Potomac River and Machodoc Creek. The Nanjemoy-Marlboro confining unit consists of glauconitic, fossiliferous silty fine-grained sands of the Nanjemoy Formation. Where the upper confined system is absent, the Nanjemoy-Marlboro confining unit is directly overlain by the Columbia aquifer. In some parts of the Explosive Experimental Area, horizontal hydraulic conductivities of the Nanjemoy-Marlboro confining unit and the Columbia aquifer are similar (from 10-4 to 10-2 foot per day), and these units effectively combine to form a thick (greater than 50 feet) aquifer. The background water quality of the shallow aquifer system is characteristic of ground waters in the Virginia Coastal Plain Physiographic Province. Water in the Columbia aquifer is a mixed ionic type, has a median pH of 5.9, and a median total dissolved solids of 106 milligrams per liter. Water in the upper confined aquifer and Nanjemoy-Marlboro confining unit is a sodium-calcium-bicarbonate type, and generally has higher pH, dissolved solids, and alkalinity than water in the Columbia aquifer. Water in the upper confined aquifer and some parts of the Columbia aquifer is anoxic, and it has high concentrations of dissolved iron, manganese, and sulfide.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-10-08 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Hydrogeologic investigation and simulation of groundwater flow in the Upper Floridan aquifer of north-central Florida and southwestern Georgia and delineation of contributing areas for selected city of Tallahassee, Florida, water-supply wells AN - 16095260; 4202933 AB - A 4-year investigation of the Upper Floridan aquifer and ground-water flow system in Leon County, Florida, and surrounding counties of north-central Florida and southwestern Georgia began in 1990. The purpose of the investigation was to describe the ground-water flow system and to delineate the contributing areas to selected City of Tallahassee, Florida, water-supply wells. The investigation was prompted by the detection of low levels of tetrachloroethylene in ground-water samples collected from several of the city's water-supply wells. Hydrologic data and previous studies indicate that: ground-water flow within the Upper Floridan aquifer can be considered steady-state; the Upper Floridan aquifer is a single water-bearing unit; recharge is from precipitation; and that discharge occurs as spring flow, leakage to rivers, leakage to the Gulf of Mexico, and pumpage. Measured transmissivities of the aquifer ranged from 1,300 ft super(2)/d (feet squared per day) to 1,300,000 ft super(2)/d. Steady-state ground-water flow in the Upper Floridan aquifer was simulated using a three-dimensional ground-water flow model. Transmissivities ranging from less than 5,000 ft super(2)/d to greater than 11,000,000 ft super(2)/d were required to calibrate to observed conditions. Recharge rates used in the model ranged from 18.0 inches per year in areas where the aquifer was unconfined to less than 2 inches per year in broad areas where the aquifer was confined. Contributing areas to five Tallahassee water-supply wells were simulated by particle-tracking techniques. Particles were seeded in model cells containing pumping wells then tracked backwards in time toward recharge areas. The contributing area for each well was simulated twice, once assuming a porosity of 25 percent and once assuming a porosity of 5 percent. A porosity of 25 percent is considered a reasonable average value for the Upper Floridan aquifer; the 5 percent porosity simulated the movement of groundwater through only solution-enhanced bedding plains and fractures. The contributing areas were generally elliptical in shape, reflecting the influence of the sloping potentiometric surface. The contributing areas delineated for a 5 percent porosity were always much larger than those determined using a 25 percent porosity. The lowest average groundwater velocity computed within a contributing area, using a 25 percent porosity, was 1.0 ft/d (foot per day) and the highest velocity was 1.6 ft/d. The lowest average ground-water velocity, determined using a 5 percent porosity, was 2.4 ft/d and the highest was 7.4 ft/d. The contributing areas for each of the five wells was also determined analytically and compared to the model-derived areas. The upgradient width of the simulated contributing areas were larger than the upgradient width of the analytically determined contributing areas for four of the five wells. The model could more accurately delineate contributing areas because of the ability to simulate wells as partially penetrating and by incorporating complex, three-dimensional aquifer characteristics, which the analytical method could not.

The investigation included field measurements of water levels and numerical models of groundwater flow. This report documents results of that work and includes descriptions of (1) hydrogeologic framework, (2) water levels, (3) model sensitivity to variations in hydrogeologic parameters, (4) simulated aquifer response to increased groundwater withdrawals, (5) recharge areas for significant water-withdrawal facilities, (6) flow paths and discharge points for groundwater solutes originating beneath known contamination sites. Water-level data indicated (1) regional ground-water flow towards the St. Joseph River, (2) depth to water is small in the St. Joseph aquifer system compared to that in the Hilltop and Nappanee aquifer systems, (3) water levels in deep and shallow parts of the aquifer system are not equal where a confining unit is present. Model results indicate increasing withdrawals by 50 percent at significant water-withdrawal facilities would cause drawdowns less than 6 feet in the 1/4-square-mile area surrounding pumping sites. The response of Juday Creek and the St. Joseph River to increased groundwater pumpage is reductions of groundwater contribution to streamflow of 23 percent and 6 percent, respectively. Particle-tracking analyses indicate flow paths for solutes originating beneath known contamination sites may pass near to, or be intercepted by, significant water-withdrawal facilities. Most particles are discharged to the St. Joseph River but some may be discharged to Juday Creek.

The sites are located in a grassland area (grass lysimeter site) and a sagbrush-covered area (sage lysimeter site) on the Arid Lands Ecology Reserve in Benton County, Washington. Lysimeter data were collected at the sites from August 1990 to November 1994. Bowen-ratio data were collected for varying periods from May 1993 to November 1994. Additional Bowen-ratio data without interchanging air-temperature and vapor-pressure sensors to remove sensor bias (fixed-sensor system) were collected from October 1993 to June 1994. Eddy-correlation data were collected at the grass lysimeter site from March to April 1994, and at the sage lysimeter site from April to May 1994. The comparisons of evapotranspiration determined by the various methods differed considerably, depending on the periods of record being compared and the sites being analyzed. The study showed that on an annual basis, at least in 1994, Bowen-ratio evapotranspiration closely matched lysimeter evapotranspiration. In 1993, Bowen-ratio and lysimeter evapotranspiration comparisons were variable. JF - USGS Branch of Information Services, Box 25286, Denver Federal Center, Denver, CO 80225 (USA). 1997.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-10-08 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Groundwater recharge to the regolith-fractured crystalline rock aquifer system, Orange County, North Carolina AN - 16094113; 4202877 AB - Quantitative information concerning recharge rates to aquifers and ground water in storage is needed to manage the development of groundwater resources. The amount of ground water available from the regolith-fractured crystalline rock aquifer system in Orange County, North Carolina, is largely unknown. If historical patterns seen throughout the Piedmont continue into the future, the number of groundwater users in the county can be expected to increase. In order to determine the maximum population that can be supplied by ground water, planners and managers of suburban development must know the amount of ground water that can be withdrawn without exceeding recharge and(or) overdrafting water in long-term storage. Results of the study described in this report help provide this information. Estimates of seasonal and long-term recharge rates were estimated for 12 selected drainage basins and subbasins using streamflow data and an analytical technique known as hydrograph separation. Methods for determining the quality of ground water in storage also are described. Orange County covers approximately 401 square miles in the eastern part of the Piedmont Province. The population of the county in 1990 was about 93,850; approximately 41 percent of the population depends on ground water as a source of potable supplies. Ground water is obtained from wells tapping the regolith-fractured crystalline rock aquifer system that underlies most of the county. Ground water also is obtained from Triassic age sedimentary rocks that occur in a small area in southeastern Orange County. Under natural conditions, recharge to the county's ground-water system is derived from the infiltration of precipitation. Ground-water recharge from precipitation cannot be measured directly; however, an estimate of the amount of precipitation that infiltrates into the ground and ultimately reaches the streams of the region can be determined by the technique of hydrograph separation. Data from 17 gaging stations that measure streamflow within or from Orange County were analyzed to produce daily estimates of groundwater recharge in 12 drainage basins and subbasins in the county. The recharge estimates were further analyzed to determine seasonal and long-term recharge rates, as well as recharge duration statistics. Methods for determining the amount of ground water available from storage are described and two examples describing the use of recharge and storage data for planning and groundwater management are presented. One example illustrates the use of estimates of mean annual recharge and the area of impervious cover to arrive at minimum lot sizes for single family dwellings that will be supplied by individual wells, and wastewater treatment will be handled by on-site septic systems. The second example illustrates the use of recharge duration statistics, test data from wells, and knowledge of the quantity of ground water in long-term storage to develop a community water system for a planned cluster development containing multiple homes with on-site wastewater treatment. The wells that supply water to the development are to be located in an area that will be set aside as a recreational area; the houses with their septic systems will be clustered on another part of the tract. In the second example, the ground-water based community system has 100-percent backup against pump or well failure by having two wells.

AN - 36400499; 6221 AB - PURPOSE: The management of the water supplies in the Upalco Unit of the Central Utah Project in the Uintah Basin northeastern Utah is proposed. The proposed action would manage the water supply within the Upalco Unit to develop resources of the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation, provide early and late season irrigation water, provide municipal water supplies, and provide water and facilities for environmental and recreational purposes. Issues of concern include the effects on sociocultural resources, socioeconomics, agriculture, water and water quality, aquatics, wetlands, wildlife, threatened and endangered species, cultural resources, recreation, and visual resources. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (the Talmage Alternative), the Crystal Ranch Dam and Reservoir would be constructed on the Yellowstone River with a total active storage capacity of 24,000 acre-feet. The existing offstream Big Sand Wash Dam and Reservoir would be enlarged by 9,000 acre-feet for a total active storage capacity of 21,000 acre-feet. For Indian water rights and secondary water rights, average annual irrigation water supplies would increase by 9,230 acre-feet and 10,278 acre-feet, respectively. The city of Roosevelt would receive 3,000 acre-feet of water per year for municipal and industrial use. Five existing diversion structures would be replaced and one new diversion structure would be built. Approximately 22.3 miles of pipeline would be placed in existing canals and about 1.2 miles would be placed in new right-of-way for the rehabilitation of seven canal laterals. Approximately 6.4 miles of 39-inch-diameter pipeline would be constructed. Ten high mountain lakes in the upper Yellowstone River Watershed and within the High Uintas Wilderness would be stabilized. Water levels in these lakes would be constant year-round. Five fishery and wildlife enhancement projects and five mitigation projects are proposed. Instream and pond fishery habitat improvements would include fish stocking and fish passages via the newly designed diversion dams. Recreational facilities would be created and upgraded to improve recreational opportunities. Water rights would be acquired on about 1,300 acres of currently irrigated secondary water-righted lands, making available about 3,300 acre-feet of water that would become part of the project water supply. The other three alternatives (the Cow Canyon Alternative, the Crystal Ranch Alternative, and the Twin Pots Alternative) would include similar project features and mitigation measures to varying degrees and locations within the Upalco Unit. The overall value of irrigated crop production would increase by about $1.5 million annually. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide additional water storage, improved distribution of water, water conservation, municipal and industrial water, instream flows, fish and wildlife enhancements, and recreation development. Changes in the quantity and the timing of surface water flows would allow more water to be used for crop production. Improved water management would decrease the amount of water leaving the Upalco Unit and Uinta Basin. Stream fisheries would be enhanced significantly downstream of the reservoir. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would adversely affect water quality including exceedances of agricultural water quality criteria for total dissolved solids. The project's features could adversely affect downstream water resources and the modification of peak flows could adversely affect the river ecosystem. Dam, reservoir, and canal rehabilitation would adversely affect approximately 364 acres of wetland and riparian resources with a permanent loss of about 349 acres. Additionally, an estimated 2,212 acres of wetland would also be adversely affected by land retirement, reduction of secondary irrigation water, and irrigation of Tribal idle lands. Total known and estimated total permanent losses of wetlands and riparian communities would be 2,561 acres. The mitigation measures would result in a net loss of 1,429 acres of existing wetlands and riparian communities. Approximately 753 acres of upland and open water habitat would be adversely affected with an additional 817 acres of native upland communities which would also be permanently affected by conversion of Tribal idle lands to irrigated lands. Known and estimated total permanent losses of uplands and open water habitat would be 1,570 acres. Critical deer and elk winter range and critical year-long moose range preferred habitat would be adversely affected by dam and reservoir construction. The mitigation of wetland and wildlife resources would be included. Threatened and endangered species could also be adversely affected. Six historic sites would be adversely affected by the construction of the project features. Facilities at the Crystal Ranch Dam and Reservoir would exceed visual quality objectives on the Uintah and Ouray Reservation. The current levels of Uinta Basin law enforcement services could be inadequate due to the population and traffic increases.

AN - 36405083; 6218 AB - PURPOSE: The operation of an open-pit gold mine by the Homestake Mining Company within the historic Eureka Mining District in central Nevada, is proposed. The project area is located 0.7 miles northwest of Eureka, Nevada, in an area known for the production of lead, silver, and gold during the late 1800's. Issues of concern include air quality, geology and minerals, paleontology, water quality and quantity, soils, vegetation resources, woodland products, wildlife and fisheries resourcesspecial status species, land use authorization and access, recreation and wilderness, visual resources, cultural heritage, social and economic values, noise and blasting vibrations, and hazardous materials and wastes. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative is a combination of the proposed action plus the Partial Backfilling Alternative. The proposed action would include mine development and surface disturbance on a total of 696 acres, most of which is public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management. During the expected 7.5-year life of the project, a total of 60 million tons of waste rock and 8.0 million tons of ore would be removed from the mine. Most of the waste rock and all of the ore would require drilling and blasting. Several blasts would occur each day. Mine waste would be hauled from the open pit to one of two proposed waste rock dumps and dumped in 50-foot lifts. The Partial Backfilling Alternative would reduce the amount of waste rock placed in the dumps by 3.0 million tons and increase the amount of revegetated surface area by six acres. Other project facilities would include a crushing, grinding, and agglomeration facility; heap leaching facilities; and an office building and parking lot, a warehouses and shop, growth media stockpiles, a soil borrow source, and powerline and water pipeline corridors. These project components would interconnected by haul roads, service roads, and the main access road connecting the facility with US 50. Runoff would be directed around the open pit and the general mine site by diversion ditches constructed upgradient of the general mine site. Also under consideration are the East Waste Rock Dump Alternative and the West Waste Rock Dump Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in the employment of an average of 225 workers during the construction period and 121 permanent workers through the life of the operation. The total annual payroll would be $5.2 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Geochemical testing indicates that arsenic and aluminum could leach from the alluvium and oxidized limestone; extremely low levels of arsenic could reach groundwater. Of the 696 acres disturbed by mining operations, some 88 acres would not be reclaimed following mine closure. Mine operations would result in the loss of habitat for mule deer and the potential loss of habitat for threatened and endangered species: roosting bats, ferruginous hawks, and burrowing owls. The waste rock dump sites would create a visual contrast with the surrounding countryside. The Eureka Historic District, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, would be indirectly affected by mining activities. Noise levels would increase slightly for Eureka residents.

Preparation date: December 24, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ARMY'S LAND ACQUISITION PROJECT FOR THE NATIONAL TRAINING CENTER, FORT IRWIN, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AND PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CALIFORNIA DESERT CONSERVATION AREA PLAN. AN - 36403848; 6217 AB - PURPOSE: The acquisition of approximately 310,296 acres of public lands to support the training mission of the U.S. Army National Training Center (NTC) at Fort Irwin, located in southeast California, is proposed. Fort Irwin consists of approximately 642,000 acres of land near the city of Barstow. The lands to be withdrawn from entry under public lands for use by the NTC are located east of the national training center in the Silurian Valley, Valjean Hills, and Soda Mountains. State Highway 127 bisects the area into east and west sections. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, approximately 331,217 acres of land, yielding approximately 277,244 acres of net maneuverable acres, would be acquired. The lands to the north and northeast would provide a northern access corridor around the Avawatz Mountains. The acquisition would include approximately 310,296 acres, which are administered by the Bureau of Land Management, to be withdrawn from the public domain. Approximately 15,773 acres of state lands and about 5,148 acres of private lands would also be acquired through purchase. An additional approximately 24,500-acre area would also be acquired along the northern border of the NTC and Death Valley National Park; the area would serve as a buffer area between the NTC and the park. Communication equipment would be erected and up to six underpasses would be constructed for military vehicles crossing Highway 127. The other action alternatives would include land acquisitions from approximately 284,885 acres, with approximately 264,776 net maneuverable acres, for the Superior Valley Alternative, to the enlistment of approximately 185,500 acres of land, yielding approximately 170,401 net maneuverable acres for the Avawatz Alternative. The incorporation of lands into military ownership would reduce the amount of property tax revenues received by San Bernardino County by approximately $17,400 annually. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The acquisition of additional maneuverable land would enable the NTC to conduct its mission of training brigade-sized units in in accordance with present and future joint and combined-arms operations doctrines. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Any ecological community occurring in terrain with a slope of less than 20 percent would be adversely affected. Soil and vegetation would be disturbed due to intensive use of tracked and wheeled vehicles, landing pads and similar facilities, and trenching for tank and gun emplacement. The soils on up to 277,244 acres of land would be adversely affected due to the crushing of rock outcrops, the disturbance of desert pavement, the compaction of upper soil layers, and wind and water erosion. There would be significant large-scale losses of vegetation in concentrated activity areas that are slow to recover. Up to 256,325 acres of Mojave creosote scrub would be lost, including habitat for a population of desert tortoise. The proposed action could adversely affect up to 2,845 acres of the entire 17,253 acres of Joshua trees woodland that occur in the acquisition area on topography suitable for staging or in an area of potentially high impact; the Joshua tree woodland is an endemic habitat to the Mojave Desert and serves as a habitat for a related association of endemic wildlife species. Approximately 9,707 acres of stabilized or partially stabilized sand fields and sand dunes would be adversely affected; these communities, which are relatively rare and considered to be in decline in California, are considered sensitive areas. Approximately 3,666 acres of desert saltbush scrub would also be adversely affected. Operations would result in the loss of habitat for six sensitive plants. Environmentally sensitive lakebeds, springs, and seeps would be marked off limits during exercises. Five legislatively-designated wilderness study areas would be located within the extended boundaries. Approximately 272,280 acres of wildlife habitat would be lost or heavily disturbed and wildlife movement between resource areas eliminated in the tributaries of the Amargosa River, Sheep Creek Springs, and Salt Creek. At least 453 prehistoric archaeological sites, 201 historic sites, and 13 sites with both prehistoric and historic components would be adversely affected by military activities. It is unknown how many sites would be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The adverse impacts to paleontological sites could not be determined due to the lack of surveys. Under the proposed action, public lands would no longer be available for public use, including recreational activities, except through defined public access policy developed by the NTC. Noise levels within the boundaries would increase due to the presence of military vehicles and aircraft. Military activities in the vicinity of Corridor D would have a potential to damage utility towers and disrupt electrical service to the Los Angeles basin.

AN - 36409078; 6210 AB - PURPOSE: The mining of gold by the Alta Gold Company (Alta) at the Griffon Mining Project on National Forest System lands administered by the Ely Ranger District of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest (HTNF), located in eastern Nevada, is proposed. The area is located approximately 28 air-miles southwest of the city of Ely. Alta has identified two deposits (Discovery Ridge and Hammer Ridge) that they anticipate would take approximately two years to mine, crush, and leach. The project would involve open pit mining, crushing and heap leaching of the ore, processing of the leachate to recover gold, and development of associated waste rock dumps, site access roads, a haul road system, ore stockpiles, facility sites, growth medium stockpiles, and drainage and sediment control structures. Issues of concern include the effects on air quality, surface water, ground water, plant and wildlife species and their habitat, reclamation potential, permitted livestock grazing, recreation, wild horses, heritage resources, mine economics, and safety. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action (Alternative B) would include two pits mined concurrently, three small waste rock dumps with DH:1V slopes adjacent to the pits, and access to the facilities area via US Highway 6 and along Ellison Creek. Process facilities would include crushers, leach pads, and recovery process facility. Potential off-site facilities would include silt and gravel borrow sites, water well and associated pipeline, and access roads. The current reserves and mine plan would include the mining of 2.74 million tons of ore and 1.52 million tons of waste rock for a total of 4.26 million tons mined. The mining rate would be approximately 7,500 tons per day of ore and waste and the ore crushing would be approximately 4,800 tons per day. The proposed action with mitigation (Alternative C) was developed to respond to certain issues raised during scoping. This alternative would consist of the same major project components as the proposed action, but would seek to avoid or minimize adverse effects on surface water, riparian and wetland habitat, cultural resources, wildlife habitat, and livestock forage. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, mine operation would play a direct and indirect role in the local economy through wages paid to employees. The workforce requirement of 60 to 65 employees would be met primarily from local and nearby communities. White Pine County would benefits from increased tax revenue from mine development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would disturb 161 acres, resulting in both short- and long-term changes to the existing topography in the project area including all facility locations, proposed pits, waste rock dumps, and leach pad. Seven of the nine vegetative communities would be disturbed with pinyon and juniper, black sagebrush, and mixed brush having the majority of the disturbance. There would be some direct and unavoidable disturbance of wetlands. Indirect losses of habitat would occur for various wildlife species as well as potential effects to candidate and sensitive species.

AN - 36387527; 6202 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a revised management plan for the Black Hills National Forest in western South Dakota and northeastern Wyoming is proposed. The 1.24-million-acre forest is among the most developed forests in the National Forest System. Private lands and lands managed by other agencies are intermingled with forest system lands. Many residential subdivisions are found on the private landholdings. Mining, logging, ranching, and tourism are important local industries. The forest plan, which was issued in August 1982, is in need of revision in order to meet legal requirements and to respond to a variety of public concerns. Focal issues include the need to maintain biological diversity, monitor and regulate streamflow, evaluate unroaded areas for wilderness designation, and establish appropriate levels of hard-rock mining, oil and gas exploration and development, and timber harvesting. Nine alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative G), the movement of the forest to a naturally diverse ecosystem would be accelerated by increasing the amount of grass and forb conditions by timber harvesting and by balancing other resource objectives. It would increase the amount of low-density open stands. One area would be managed to simulate stand-replacing fires. Some late-successional landscapes would be designed to let natural processes dictate the vegetative conditions. Fire control would continue to be used to protect older stands of trees, but the stands could eventually be lost to uncontrollable wildfire or mountain pine beetle infestations. Therefore, the landscape in those areas would likely be diverse with older trees interspersed within younger, irregular stands. At least three riparian areas would be restored by raising the water table. Some 25,500 acres of timber would be harvested each year for the next ten years, primarily by seed cut and overstory removal methods. Prescribed fire would be used on 8,000 acres each year if all funds were available. Approximately 277 miles of roads would be constructed and 179 miles of roads would be obliterated. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the wilderness character of the area would be preserved, while allowing appropriate levels of commercial activity. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The road construction, timber harvesting, and prescribed burning would degrade air quality, increase erosion and sediment delivery to streams, and displace wildlife species. Logging and thinning would increase fuel hazards in the short-term if slash were left scattered on the ground. LEGAL MANDATES: National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

Preparation date: December 17, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TUMACACORI NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, ARIZONA. AN - 36398907; 6200 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management and development plan for the Tumacacori National Historical Park in southern Arizona is proposed. The park is located 18 miles north of the city of Nogales and the U.S.-Mexico border, and 43 miles south of the city of Tucson. In 1908, the park was established as a national monument in order to preserve an ancient Spanish mission on the grounds; in 1990, Congress changed the designation of the park to a national historical park and combined the existing monument with the ruins of two other nearby Spanish colonial sites (Calabazas and Guevavi). Issues of concern include the effects on the park boundary, mission trail, development, park operations, and adobe ruins preservations, along with the effects of surrounding land uses on park resources. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative C), are considered this final EIS. Under the proposed action (the Proposed General Management Plan), the park would be managed to preserve, fully interpret, and maintain the cultural resources at all three sites, to maintain and enhance natural resources, and to develop facilities to accommodate visitor services and National Park Service administrative functions. At Tumacacori, major features of this alternative would include ultimately removing two of the three employee residences from their current location over known archeological resources. The residence not removed, residence number 1, would continue to be used as office space. A maintenance facility would be developed on land proposed to be acquired to the east. Tumacacori, Calabazas, and Guevavi would eventually be linked along the mission trail, the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail. Increased staffing park-wide would be recommended. Facilities at Calabazas would include a visitor contact facility, visitor parking, a small maintenance shop, and employee housing. Visitors would also access Calabazas from the mission trail. Guevavi would be accessible to the public via guided tours. There would be no visitor or administrative facilities at this site. As at Calabazas, visitors would access Guevavi from the mission trail. The estimated development costs are $1.12 million, and the estimated operating costs are $755,000 annually. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would serve long-term productivity by protecting significant features of the country's cultural heritage which would provide enjoyment and education for visitors in perpetuity. The proposed staff increases would also help to ensure the long-term protection of the site's unique resource values. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, some visual, soil, and vegetative resources would be adversely affected in the short term.

AN - 36411375; 6197 AB - PURPOSE: The exchange of land between the federal government (Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest and the Bureau of Land Management) and Weyerhaeuser Company in western Washington is proposed. The exchange would involve approximately 6,273 acres of National Forest system land and 32,010 acres of Weyerhaeuser lands. Although areas of subsurface mineral rights would be conveyed as part of the exchange, no mining activity of any kind would be part of the proposed action. The lands considered for exchange are characterized by a checkerboard or alternate section ownership pattern where one-square mile areas are alternately owned by the public and Weyerhauser. The exchange would consolidate ownership and enhance future conservation and management. Issues of concern include the effects on wildlife habitat; threatened, endangered, and sensitive plant and animal species; recreation, access, and visual quality; wilderness areas; timber supply, tax base, and restoration costs; fish habitat and water quality; mineral estate; and cultural resources. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the lands would be exchanged on a value for value basis. Weyerhaeuser would manage acquired lands according to Washington Forest Practices Rules and other applicable local, State, and federal laws. These lands would be managed with a timber emphasis and timber harvest rotations would be approximately 50 years. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 3), the Forest Service and Weyerhaeuser would complete the proposed exchange except that Weyerhaeuser would remove 1,885 acres from the exchange (High Lakes Parcels 2, 4, and 6 and Skykomish Parcel 2). The 1,885 acres plus an additional 141 acres would be donated to the National Forest System contingent on the implementation of this alternative. Roughly half of the donated acreage would be included in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Additionally, Wyerhaeuser would receive the subsurface mineral rights to 7,173 acres where Wyerhaeuser or other private entities currently own the surface rights. Weyerhaeuser would also reserve the subsurface mineral rights on up to 12,639 acres. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The consolidation of public and private lands in the project area would improve overall land management. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Threatened and endangered species with habitats on lands transferring to private ownership would have lower levels of protection. Because more land would be transferred into public ownership than into private, some decline in state and county tax revenue would occur.

AN - 36412406; 6196 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for development and visitor use of the Petroglyph National Monument, on the west mesa near Albuquerque, New Mexico, is proposed. The 7,244-acre monument was established in June 1990 in order to preserve the more than 15,000 prehistoric and historic petroglyphs and other resources located in the region. Most of the petroglyphs are believed to have been created between 1300 AD and 1600 AD; others are believed to be over 3,000 years old. The petroglyph images have a deep religious and cultural meaning to present-day Pueblo Indians. Focal issues addressed include recreation and public uses, erosion and flood control, interpretation, competing land claims, scenic quality, local communities, Native American Indian tribes, special uses, and the protection of archaeological resources and the cultural landscape. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 4), are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 1), visitors would be directed to a visitor center/heritage education center at Boca Negra Canyon. Horseback and bicycle riding would be permitted on selected designated mesa-top trails and at three crossing points. No horses or bicycles would be permitted in petroglyph viewing areas or archaeological sites anywhere in the monument. Mesa-top resources and visitor experiences would be monitored to identify adverse impacts. Mitigating measures would be developed to avoid adverse effects on the ferruginous hawk, which is being considered for listing as a threatened species, and for two rare cactus species. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preservation of the unique geological and archaeological features of the monument would be balanced with visitors' enjoyment and learning opportunities. The preferred alternative would provide diverse opportunities for visitors of different ages and abilities to see petroglyphs within the context of the escarpment, mesa top, volcanoes, Rio Grande valley, and Sandia Mountains. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The increased recreational use would increase the potential of wildlife, geologic, and archaeological site disturbance; in addition, increased visitation could disturb the indigenous Indian population.

AN - 36408820; 6191 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a pumped storage hydroelectric project with an estimated installed operating capacity of approximately 200 megawatts (MW), located five miles west of the city of Las Vegas, Nevada, is proposed by Blue Diamond South Pumped Storage Power Company and the Blue Diamond Power Partners Limited Partnership (the applicant). The project considered in this final EIS would be a self-contained, off-stream project, in that it would use two reservoirs, transferring water back and forth from reservoir to reservoir, to either generate or store energy. The project would consist of a 31-acre upper reservoir contained by a lined and covered earthen embankment with a top dam elevation of 4,828 feet above mean sea level (msl) located near the crest of Blue Diamond Hill; a lower reservoir (afterbay) contained by a lined and covered earthen embankment located near the foot of Blue Diamond Hill, with a surface area of about 32 acres and a top dam elevation of 3,320 feet; an approximately 1,137-foot-long, 12-foot-wide, concrete-lined inclined shaft; a 1,176-foot-long, 12-foot-wide tunnel connecting with a 12-foot-wide penstock that would be installed in a trench, extending approximately 4,365 feet to an underground powerhouse, and upstream of the powerhouse bifurcating into two eight-foot-wide headrace tunnels leading to two generating units; an underground powerhouse immediately north of the afterbay at an approximate elevation of 3,087 feet msl, containing two 100-MW reversible pump-turbine units; two eight-foot-wide tailrace pipes extending about 100 feet from the powerhouse to the afterbay; a control building and substation located near the afterbay; a 2.2-mile-long, 138-kilovolt transmission line that would be routed eastward to connect with a Nevada Power Company transmission line; an approximately two-mile-long, 12-inch-wide water pipeline; project access roads including upgraded existing area roads for approximately 22,000 feet; and appurtenant facilities and equipment. The primary project facilities, including reservoirs, penstock, and powerhouse, would be new. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would satisfy the immediate electric power needs of the Las Vegas area and reduce the amount of power purchased from outside sources by the Nevada Power Company. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would permanently alter 182 acres of public lands and commit those lands to energy production and transmission. That acreage would include about 104 acres of creosote bush scrub habitat; its value to wildlife would be lost. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Power Act of 1920, as amended (16 U.S.C. 791(a) et seq.).

AN - 36412382; 6181 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of chinook salmon to the Clearwater River Subbasin in north-central Idaho is proposed. The Clearwater River is a tributary to the Snake River, which empties into the Columbia River. Hydroelectric and flood control dams built in 1910 and 1927 eliminated most the Clearwater River salmon, but those two dams were removed in the 1960s and 1970s, making most of the Clearwater a free-flowing stream once again. A century ago, 16 million salmon and steelhead returned from the sea to spawn in the river basin; now fewer than 2.5 million return each year. Issues identified during the scoping process include the possibility that the project would fail if mainstem Columbia River juvenile and adult passage problems were not solved; genetic risks to fish listed an endangered or threatened; potential impacts to wild and resident fish stocks because of increased competition for food and space; and water quality. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the Nez Perce Tribe would build and operate two central incubation and rearing hatcheries and six satellite facilities. Spring, summer, and fall chinook salmon would be reared and acclimated to different areas in the sub-basin and released at the hatchery and satellite sites or in other watercourses throughout the sub-basin. The supplementation program differs from other hatchery programs because the fish would be released at different sizes and return to reproduce naturally in the areas where they were released. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would help to reverse the historic decline of anadromous fish in the Columbia River basin. It would establish a self-sustaining chinook population within two to five generations. It would also benefit the local economy, increasing employment and the number of anglers seeking fishing and other recreation opportunities in the area. As manager of hatchery facilities, the Nez Perce Tribe would have a direct influence on fish runs returning to their homelands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The fish releases could adversely affect the existing Clearwater subbasin fish populations through genetic risks, food and habitat competition, predation, and disease transmission from hatchery fish to wild stocks.

AN - 36400853; 6177 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the general management plan (GMP) for the Yosemite National Park, located within east-central California, is proposed. This draft addendum to the draft supplement to the final EIS of September 1980 addresses the possible revision which would provide for new and replacement housing outside the Yosemite Valley for some of the 1,900 employees who currently work and reside in the park. Two relocation sites are under consideration: El Portal, which is approximately 16 miles east of Yosemite Valley along California 140 and adjacent to the Merced River, and Foresta, which is approximately 12 miles northeast of Yosemite Valley along California 120. Most of the employees currently residing in the park work for the National Park Service (NPS) and the park's primary concessioner, Yosemite Park and Curry Company. The GMP proposed that most housing and administrative services be moved to El Portal so that the buildings would not detract from the park's natural beauty. A set of alternative relocation plans were presented in a 1992 draft supplement. This draft addendum presents two additional alternatives. The new proposed action (Alternative E) would add 689 new employee beds at El Portal. A total of 1,014 employees would remain in housing in the valley, and 345 would move out of the valley. All tent cabins and other substandard housing would be removed. Headquarters for both the national park and the concession would be moved to El Portal. Alternative F would also relocate 345 employee beds from the valley. Most of the new housing would be in El Portal (528 employees). The headquarters for the park and the concession would be moved to Wawona, and housing for 161 related employees would also be constructed there. The former proposed action is designated Alternative G. Estimated planning and construction costs for the new proposed action are $150.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, slightly more than 11 acres within the Yosemite Valley would be restored to natural conditions. The removal of structures in scenic areas would significantly improve visual aesthetics. The plan modifications would generally facilitate the preservation of historically and archaeologically significant resources within the park. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction would displace approximately 81 acres of vegetation. Flashing floods along the Merced River would put at risk some of the new housing constructed in El Portal.

Preparation date: December 2, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - KLONDIKE GOLD RUSH NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, SKAGWAY, ALASKA, AND SEATTLE, KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36398718; 6171 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of a management plan for the four units of Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park in or near Skagway, Alaska, and Seattle, Washington, is proposed. The Alaska portion consists of three separate but related units: Skagway and the historic district; the Chilkoot Trail, including the old townsite of Dyea; and the White Pass Trail and city area. The Seattle unit consists of a visitor center in the Pioneer Square Historic District in downtown Seattle. This final EIS is a collaborative effort between two vastly separated support offices and two park locations. The proposed action in Alaska would include development concept plans for Dyea and the Chilkoot Trail, and expand park management, development, resource protection, and maintenance components to meet most, but not all, of the expected visitor-use increases and interests in the park. A Klondike History Research Center would be established, in cooperation with the city of Skagway and state of Alaska, to process, study, and store historical, ethnographic, and natural history artifacts. Access to the Dyea area would be improved with a rerouted, wider gravel road, and parking, picnic, interpretive, and trail opportunities. Selected town streets would be cleared and signed. Archaeological inventory, surveys, and mapping; marking the historical segments; minor trail rerouting; and interpretive programs would occur along the Chilkoot Trail and along White Pass. In Seattle, the proposed action would lead eventually to acquiring a permanent location for the park visitor center, park offices, and historic collections. In the interim, expanded lease space at the present location would allow the exhibit area to expand and provide additional information on the role of the Pacific Northwest in the gold rush. Additional interpretive information (exhibits and walking tours) would be developed within the Pioneer Square area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, implementation would enhance visitor understanding of the Alaskan Gold Rush and the historic significance of specific trails and sites. Park visitation would increase, and the resulting increase in tourism would benefit the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Facility relocation and development would result in the loss of six acres of vegetation in the Dyea area. Some slight reduction in visual quality would occur at campgrounds along the Chilkoot Trail.

Preparation date: November 27, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WASTE ISOLATION PILOT PLANT, EDDY COUNTY, NEW MEXICO (SECOND DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 1980). AN - 36400428; 6166 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan for a demonstration project for the safe disposal of radioactive transuranic (TRU) wastes resulting from Department of Energy (DOE) activities related to national defense at the waste isolation pilot plant (WIPP) site located near Carlsbad, New Mexico, is proposed. TRU waste is contaminated with alpha-emitting radionuclides that are heavier than uranium and have half-lives longer than 20 years at concentrations greater than 100 nanocuries per gram of waste. The TRU waste needing disposal resulted from nuclear weapons development and manufacturing, plutonium recovery, defense research and development, environmental restoration and decontamination, waste management, and testing at facilities that are under DOE contract. The TRU waste exists in a variety of forms ranging from unprocessed laboratory trash to solidified sludges from wastewater treatment. Approximately 60 percent of this waste is classified as mixed waste. This second draft supplement to the final EIS of October 1980 considers a proposed action, three action alternatives, two No Action Alternatives, and various subalternatives. Under the proposed action, 175,600 cubic yards meters of TRU waste would disposed of in the WIPP repository. All waste would be transported by truck in 55-gallon drums. The WIPP would receive and dispose of the TRU waste for 35 years, and the repository would be closed when it had reached its storage capacity. The repository would be sealed to prevent water from entering it and impede the gases or brines from migrating out. The decommissioning period would take ten years. The total estimated life-cycle costs for the proposed action would be $19.1 billion in 1994 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The WIPP would provide a permanent repository for isolating transuranic wastes from the biosphere for thousands of years, thus affording long-term protection to the public against the possible release of radioactive materials generated by national defense programs. The repository would provide an opportunity to test disposal methods for high-level radioactive wastes and to demonstrate the disposal of spent reactor fuel. The proposed action would generate 5,700 direct and indirect jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The use of the site as a nuclear waste repository would permanently restrict the extraction of mineral resources, including potassium salts and hydrocarbons, above and below the repository. Rangeland and wildlife habitat would be displaced by surface facilities, transportation routes, and a mined-rock pile. Local residents would be exposed to increased radiation doses due to plant operation. Plant and transportation accidents could increase exposure doses. The influx of construction workers would increase the demand for services and housing. The construction would disturb wildlife and could result in the destruction of archaeological resources.

AN - 36411176; 6143 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a competitive lease sale of 1,440 acres of federal coal lands containing an estimated 144 million tons of coal, subject to the standard coal lease stipulations and to special coal lease stipulations developed for the Wyoming Powder River Basin (PRB), located in northeast Wyoming, is proposed. The tract was applied for by Shell Mining Company, which is now Bluegrass Coal Development Company (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zeigler Coal Holding Company) and whose subsidiary operating unit, Triton Coal Company, operates the adjacent North Rochelle Mine in southeastern Campbell County. The tract is located 50 miles south of the town of Gillette. The North Rochelle reserves would be mined out by approximately 2010 under current mining plans. Without supplemental reserves, no additional coal would be available for new or existing contracts. Bluegrass is proposing to lease additional federal coal reserves located adjacent to its permitted North Rochelle Mine. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are proposed in this draft EIS. Under the BLM's preferred alternative (Alternative A), approximately 80 acres with about nine million tons of federal coal would be added to the northwestern corner of the tract to prevent a potential bypass situation, and approximately 40 acres with about four million tons of federal coal would be removed from the southeastern corner of the tract to enhance the value of adjacent, unleased coal. The revised tract contains approximately 149 million tons of federal reserves covering approximately 1,482 acres. The federal coal tract would be offered for competitive sale but Alternative A assumes that Bluegrass would be the successful bidder. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the LBA tract would be attractive to other potential bidders, minimizing the risk of bypassing federal coal that would then become economically unrecoverable and enhancing the fair market value of remaining unleased federal coal in the area. If the tract were mined as a maintenance tract, the leasing and subsequent mining of the tract would not create additional jobs but would extend the life of an already permitted operation by 11 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The major adverse environmental consequences on land use would be the reduction of livestock grazing, loss of wildlife habitat, curtailment of oil and gas development, and short-term loss of public land available for recreational activities on about 1,440 acres during active mining. Wildlife, particularly big game, and livestock (cattle and sheep) use would be displaced while the tract is being mined and reclaimed. Noise levels would be increased considerably by mining activities such as blasting, crushing, conveying, rail car loading, scraping, and hauling.

Preparation date: November 1, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - EL RANCHO SUBSTATION, SANTA FE COUNTY, NEW MEXICO. AN - 36403953; 6164 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation by Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative, Inc., of a 69/12.47-kilovolt (69/12.47-kV) distribution substation and related facilities in the El Rancho area of Santa Fe County, New Mexico, is proposed. The area is presently being served by a temporary substation located on San Ildefonso Pueblo trust lands; the Pueblo have indicated that the easement for this site would not be extended. Construction of a new substation was begun in 1990, but was halted just prior to completion in order to conduct a cultural resources assessment. In 1991, a judge ordered that a more comprehensive assessment be undertaken. One factor in this ruling was the recent nomination of the area adjacent to the project for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Completion of the project would require two federal actions: the Bureau of Indian Affairs must approve an easement for the substation and its transmission /distribution lines on tribal trust lands; and the Rural Utilities Service must agree to release loan funds. The project site would require 1.0 acre of land, which would be fenced. Substation equipment would include terminal and switching for the 69-kV transmission line, a power transformer, a regulator bank, four electronic vacuum reclosers, a control house, and supports for the bus work and low-voltage terminations. The project would also involve the construction of the 69-kV transmission line and three to four underground distribution tie lines. Seven possible sites are considered in this final EIS; the preferred site is Site Number 2, the site originally selected for the project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A new substation in the El Rancho area would provide a reliable source of electricity to an area experiencing rapid population growth, and integrate the area within the regional distribution system, thereby reducing the length of outages in the region. Construction of the transmission line would not preclude the continuance of land uses in areas crossed by the easement. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would have short-term adverse impacts on air quality and noise levels. The site would also create a visual intrusion of the existing landscape and could detract from the adjacent historic property, where traditional Matachines dances are held.

AN - 36413293; 6140 AB - PURPOSE: The construction by the Gila River Indian Community of a common-use irrigation system to deliver water to 146,330 acres within the Gila River Indian Reservation and the rehabilitation of the San Carlos Indian Irrigation Project Joint Works Facilities, located in southern Arizona, are proposed. The site is located in the Lower Sonoran Desert, and the Reservation makes up roughly 85 percent of the project area. The overall character of the area is rural, although it is located just south of the Phoenix metropolitan area. Currently the main sources of irrigation water for the Community are surface water from the Gila River and San Carlos Reservoir, tailwater from Salt River Valley farming operations and groundwater from wells. Approximately 66,000 acres have been developed for irrigated agriculture. The irrigation water that presently reaches the project area is conveyed through the Joint Works Facilities, which are 60 to 70 years old and beginning to signs of deterioration. The canals are not lined and water conveyance efficiencies are considered low by today's standards. A new system is needed to increase water deliveries and improve efficiency. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 5), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would deliver all surface water through the Pima Lateral. Groundwater would be delivered by wells located throughout the project area. The Joint Works Facilities upgrade would include lining the canals and increasing the capacity of the Pima Lateral; constructing a new Florence-Casa Grande Canal adjacent to the present canal and a new canal to deliver water directly from the aqueduct to the Reservation; rehabilitating the McClellan Wash Siphon and Southside Canal to the Reservation boundary; constructing 29 miles of drainage channels and dikes to protect structures during flood events; and rehabilitating 50 wells. Additional features would include the rehabilitation of the Sacaton Dam, construction of a new reservoir, and the development of six new water delivery points. The estimated costs of the preferred alternative are $1.38 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The concrete lining of the irrigation system would reduce water losses and increase effective water supply, reduce operating and maintenance costs, and improve conveyance efficiencies. The expanded water supply would support agricultural development on 80,330 new acres, generating $125 million per year of gross value product. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Alternative 4 would result in the disturbance of 130,125 acres of land. Disturbed areas would be invaded by non-native weeds. New well development could result in earth fissuring and subsidence from groundwater declines. Construction activities would increase soil erosion throughout the area.

Preparation date: October 30, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - IMPERIAL PROJECT, IMPERIAL COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36410000; 6134 AB - PURPOSE: The construction by Chemgold, Inc., of a an open-pit heap-leach gold and silver mine project on a 1,625-acre site in Imperial County in southeastern California is proposed. The site is approximately 45 miles northeast of the city of El Centro, California, and 20 miles northwest of Yuma, Arizona. The project area consists of unpatented mining claims on public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the project would include mining gold and silver ore and waste rock at a maximum average operating rate of 130,000 tons per days for up to 20 years; constructing and operating facilities to administer the operation; processing the ore and stockpiling the waste rock; developing and using groundwater for use in processing operations; and implementing site reclamation measures. Up to 150 million tons of ore would be leached and 450 million tons of waste rock would be deposited at the proposed waste rock stockpiles or the mined-out portions of the three planned open pits. Mining of the pits would be phased, and would consist of drilling, blasting, loading, and hauling. Ore would be hauled, without crushing, to the heap leach pad to be leached of the precious metals with a dilute solution of sodium cyanide. The leach pad would be lined with synthetic materials as an engineered zero-discharge facility with leak detection systems. Up to four ground water production wells would be drilled and completed to provide the project peak water requirements of approximately 1,000 gallons per minute and 1,200 acre-feet per day. Peak project electrical demand of eight megawatts would be provided from the utility grid, requiring the construction of 16 miles of transmission line to the project site. A 6,000-foot section of Indian Pass Road would be realigned 1,000 feet to the west. Mining activities, performed 24 hours per day and seven days per week, would commence in 1997 after all necessary permits have been obtained. Reclamation would involve regrading and revegetating and restoring pre-mining land uses where feasible. The Reduced Project Alternative and the Complete Pit Backfill Alternative are also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, mine operations would provide jobs for 150 workers and generate $68 million in annual expenditures for payroll, taxes, and local purchases. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would disturb up to 1,392 acres of desert and woodland habitat and adversely affect desert tortoise habitat. Diversion of drainage channels and construction activities could result in accelerated soil erosion and a degradation of water quality. High pumping rates from the production wells could damage the aquifer. The project would cause a local exceedance of air quality standards for particulates. The waste rock pile, the heap leach pile, and the mine pit highwall would adversely affect visual resources. Heavy truck traffic would create some safety hazards on local roadways.

Preparation date: October 25, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DENTON-RAWHIDE MINE EXPANSION PROJECT, MINERAL COUNTY, NEVADA. AN - 36411236; 6129 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion by Kennecott Rawhide Mining Company (KRMC) of mining operations at its Denton-Rawhide Mine, located approximately 55 miles southeast of Fallon in southwest Nevada, is proposed. The mine is located on the northwest end of the Gabbs Valley, where elevations range from 4,300 to 5,300 feet above sea level. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. KRMC's proposed action would involve the expansion of the Murray Hill pit, the expansion to the waste rock disposal facility, the construction and operation of a run-of-mine leach pad facility, and the relocation of a run-on control diversion ditch. Existing mine facilities would continue to be used for processing leach ore and solutions. The expansion would add approximately five years to the active mine life, resulting in the extraction of an estimated 495,000 ounces of gold and 3,960,000 ounces of silver. The preferred alternative (Alternative A) would include all components of the proposed action and require KRMC to modify its project schedule to backfill southern and northern portions of the Murray Hill pit. The implementation of this alternative would result in the placement of 440,000 tons of waste rock in the northern portion of the pit and approximately four million tons of waste rock in the southern portion of the pit. Backfilling these portions of the pit would restore approximately 35 acres of land surface to productive use after cessation of mining operations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the backfilling of the Murray Hill pit would limit the likelihood of further mining of possible ore reserves in those areas. The continued mine development in the Denton-Rawhide Mine area would not have significant cumulative effects on wildlife, water quality and quantity and, with the exception of open pits, reclamation would reestablish vegetation on mined area. No change in numbers of employees would be anticipated; however, the mining work force would be employed for more years than currently anticipated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The mine expansion would directly impact geologic and mineral resources in the project area through relocation of approximately 36.8 million tons of waste rock. The prosed action would result in the destruction of the Hooligan mine adit which is used for roosting and hibernation by a bat species categorized as sensitive by the BLM.

Preparation date: October 24, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED SWINOMISH MARINA, LA CONNER, SKAGIT COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36403734; 6127 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a 1,200-slip saltwater marina and related upland support facilities by the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community on a 240-acre site located on the west shore of the Swinomish Channel, immediately south of State Route 20, located in northwest Washington, is proposed. The project would consist of three elements: the marina basin (58 acres), wetland mitigation site (63 acres), and upland commercial site (119 acres). The upland site would primarily contain facilities associated with the marina: dry dock storage, boat repair yard, recreational vehicle park, restaurant, harbor office, public viewing area, and parking. The development of the marina would involve the excavation of 1.8 million cubic yards of material from 53 acres of actively farmed uplands, the dredging of 4.9 acres of existing wetlands, and the filling of 4.7 acres of wetlands. The excavated material would be used to dike and fill on site, to increase the height of existing upland areas, and to protect adjacent farmland from flooding. Habitat mitigation efforts would include the reintroduction of saltwater and tidal influences, the creation of 22 acres of new wetlands, and the restoration of 40.6 acres of wetlands to historic conditions. The proposal presented in this final supplement revises a proposal presented in the draft supplement of September 1992. That proposal would have required the excavation of 37 acres of jurisdictional wetlands and 9.4 acres of upland dune habitat. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The marina would serve two primary purposes: to meet the moorage needs of the recreational boating public, and to provide economic development opportunities for the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community. The project would generate a minimum of 100 construction jobs, plus up to 250 permanent jobs for members of the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community. These jobs would provide an economic stimulus to the community. The site would be altered from a commercial bingo parlor and vacant uplands to a marina with upland support facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in an increased risk of accidental spills of oil or sewage into open water. Some 167 acres of agricultural land would be permanently altered. The increases in noise and human activity in the site vicinity could affect harbor seals, river otters, birds, and other wildlife.

AN - 36401575; 6113 AB - PURPOSE: The development by River Gas Corporation (RGC) of a coalbed methane (CBM) gas production field in the Price area of Carbon County, located in east-central Utah, is proposed. Surface and mineral estate ownership of the 290-square mile project area is divided among Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (state), Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR), and private landowners. The purpose of the RGC proposed action is to remove all recoverable CBM gas within the portion of the project area leased by RGC and would entail development of 601 wells, approximately 350 miles of transportation corridors, 51 miles of pipeline corridors, and related facilities including five compressor stations, seven injection wells, and seven produced water evaporation ponds. These facilities would be developed over an estimated 10-year period. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 6), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative C-1, the security areas protection alternative) would reduce potential impacts to mule deer and elk critical winter habitat. There would be no development on federal surface or mineral estate within important concentration areas of mule deer and elk and no development within security areas located on lands controlled by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. These areas would serve as secure habitat where big game would be protected from disturbance and stress associated with CBM field development and all CBM surface activity would be prohibited. This alternative would require 160-acre well-spacing (four per square mile). There would be an eight percent decrease in the number of wells, and an 8 to 12 percent decrease in the number of miles of transportation corridor compared to the proposed action. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The development of the project would generate up to 193 jobs. There would be substantial net benefit to state and local government from the payment of taxes and royalties. No adverse impacts are expected on the geology of the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the disturbance of mule deer and elk on critical and high-value winter ranges and mountain lions would be largely displaced from the project area, except where secure habitat would be provided. The nesting peregrine falcon, loggerhead shrike, burrowing owl and ferruginous hawk could be adversely affected. The project would involve the removal or disturbance of large areas of vegetation and could adversely affect wetland area and functions by filling, excavating, clearing and grading, and draining.

AN - 36408957; 6105 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Lake Crescent area of Olympic National Park, approximately 18 miles west of Port Angeles along US 101, located in northwestern coastal Washington, is proposed. The plan would address the potential impact resulting from increased volume and intensity of use at Lake Crescent and guide future management decisions concerning the protection and public use of the area. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative B), which would continue the park's existing management activities with limited improvements made only on an as-needed basis as funding becomes available, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative A) would recognize the need to both protect the natural environment and support recreational interests of visitors in a manner that takes advantage of the history of the lake and surrounding area. Key elements would include giving concession operators the option to extend their season further into the fall or earlier in the spring; improving the Spruce Railroad grade for hiking and biking; investigating the feasibility of developing an information and orientation facility on US 101 east of East Beach Road; relocating the store at Fairholm and adding parking; relocating the picnic area away from the shore at Bovee's Meadows; improving the North Shore picnic area; and lakewide zoning to control the locations of personal watercraft and high speed powerboats. Over the next several years and as funding allows, individual site plans for specific areas around the lake would be completed based upon the recommendations in this plan. Alternative C would emphasize increased recreational opportunities for visitors. Alternative D would emphasize the protection of the watershed's natural resources while continuing to support recreational use of the area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The development plan would enhance visitor use and enjoyment of the recreation opportunities while recognizing the lake's high scenic natural resources. The pristine quality of the water and lake ecology would be protected. A variety of outdoor experiences and recreation uses, which would minimize conflicts between recreational users and be compatible with the protection of park resources and values, would be provided. A range of overnight accommodations and other visitor facilities, which would keep with this historic setting and character of the area, would be available. Critical spawning and rearing areas in the watershed which are used by the lake's unique fish species would be protected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: There would be minor, short-term decreases in air quality during construction. The run-off from construction sites could cause short-term siltation of the lake. There would be cumulative effects on the vegetation at Lake Crescent with substantial recreational, transportation, and residential development. Rare aquatic plant species would be put at added risk from recreational use. The effects on known wildlife populations would be primarily due to disturbances during construction and the removal of portions of habitat.

AN - 36403888; 6102 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge crossing the American River in the city of Folsom, located in north central California, is proposed. The project would relieve traffic congestion on the Rainbow Bridge, a two-lane bridge over the American River designed to carry traffic from Folsom and surrounding areas to US 50 and Sacramento. The bridge is currently operating at its design capacity. Folsom is located approximately 25 miles east of Sacramento and 25 miles west of Placerville in the eastern portion of Sacramento County. The project area extends from Lake Natoma on the west to Folsom Dam on the northeast. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The four build alternatives would involve the construction of a bridge with four to six lanes and improvements to access roads and nearby intersections. Alternative 1 would extend across Lake Natoma from Folsom Boulevard near its intersection with Leidesdorff Street to the Folsom-Auburn Road /Greenback Lake intersection. Alternative 2 would extend across the American River from the northern extension of Oak Avenue Parkway to East Natoma Street at Fargo Way. Alternative 3 would cross the American River immediately upstream from the existing Rainbow Bridge and include a connector to the Oak Avenue Parkway extension. Under this proposal, the new bridge would serve both directions of traffic while the Rainbow Bridge would serve southwest-bound traffic. Alternative 4 would cross the American River just below Folsom Dam, with access from Folsom-Auburn Road. The preferred alternative is a variation of Alternative 1 (Subalternative 1b), a 2300-foot-long, four-lane bridge across Lake Notoma; the bridge would be built on pilings on the north side of the river. The estimated project costs are $36.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: All of the build alternatives would relieve traffic congestion on the bridge approach roadways and near intersections in the vicinity of the existing bridge, improve traffic circulation through Folsom, and stimulate local businesses. The potential for utility conduits to be added to the proposed bridge structure would decrease the need for additional utility corridors across the American River. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way development would displace up to six residential parcels, two commercial properties, 15 acres of mixed forest, 1.7 acres of riparian woodland, 3.5 acres of jurisdictional wetlands, and 7.4 acres of oak savanna. Alternative 2 and Alternative 3 would decrease the size of the Folsom State Prison security buffer zone. Alternative 4 would result in the loss of a great blue heron rookery. Alternative 1 would result in the loss of a portion of state park (5.1 acres under Subalternative 1b) and disrupt bicycling and other recreational activities. All of the alternatives could disturb the habitat of the valley elderberry longhorn beetle, a threatened species. Construction activity at all sites would result in significant increases in dust particle emissions and internal combustion engine emissions, violating state ambient carbon monoxide standards at 18 to 21 receptors.

Preparation date: October 8, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NEZ PERCE NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK AND BIG HOLE NATIONAL BATTLEFIELD; CLARK, CLEARWATER, IDAHO, LEWIS, AND NEZ PERCE COUNTIES, IDAHO; BEAVERHEAD, BLAINE, AND YELLOWSTONE COUNTIES, MONTANA; WALLOWA COUNTY, OREGON; AND ASOTIN AND OKANOGAN COUNTIES, WASHINGTON. AN - 36408573; 6094 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Nez Perce National Historical Park and the Big Hole National Battlefield, located in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington, is proposed. The park consists of 38 separate sites spread across Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. Only five sites are owned by the National Park Service (NPS); the rest will be managed as units of the park through cooperative agreements or other arrangements between the NPS and the landowners. The sites are historically significant in the westward expansion of the U.S., and some sites relate specifically to early Nez Perce culture, the Lewis and Clark expedition through the area, the fur trade, missionaries, gold mining, logging, and the Nez Perce War of 1877. The park contains burial sites and sacred sites and is a focal point for current Nez Perce culture. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would accomplish goals and protect resources through partnerships arranged through various types of formal and informal cooperative agreements or memorandums of understanding, are considered in this draft EIS. Although Alternative 2 is the parkwide proposed action, the proposed action for each of the 38 sites varies according to the needs of each site. Alternative 2, the minimum requirements alternative, would retain the general management direction of the park, but appropriate individual management techniques would be applied in certain cases. Alternative 3 would involve more facility development and a greater capital investment to add new visitor facilities or add personnel in some locations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: There would be direct and indirect economic benefits from the federal expenditures for construction and development. Tourism and the concomitant spending by visitors could also increase slightly in the affected towns. Alternative 2 and Alternative 3 would result in increased protection of cultural resources through more staff attention to protection. Visitors would have more opportunities for interpretation to expand knowledge of Nez Perce culture and history in Wallowa Valley. All three of the alternatives would cause few or no impacts on natural resources at most sites. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: No unavoidable adverse impacts would be expected to result from the proposed action. In a practical sense, financial resources committed to implementing the actions would be irreversible. Existing facilities and developments commit the use of land precluding other uses such as wildlife habitat for some species. These commitments are reversible, given an active restoration program in the future. Vegetation and habitat values would return with time; however, they could be different than those that existed under natural conditions. The move of visitor facilities to new locations could disturb buried cultural resources. Planned trails would cause the loss of a small amount of riparian habitat with some soil that supports grasses and the use of trails would somewhat disturb waterfowl that use the area.

Preparation date: October 4, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - STANDARDS FOR RANGELAND HEALTH AND GUIDELINES FOR LIVESTOCK GRAZING MANAGEMENT ON BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT-ADMINISTERED LANDS, MONTANA, NORTH DAKOTA, AND SOUTH DAKOTA. AN - 36401708; 6097 AB - PURPOSE: The adoption of regional guidelines for rangeland health and livestock grazing management for lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) east of the Continental Divide in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, is proposed. The guidelines would reflect revised regulations for livestock grazing on BLM lands that became effective in August 1995 (43 CFR 4100). Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action would incorporate the revised guidelines in nine BLM land use plans covering 8.3 millions acres of the project area. Plans affected by this action would include Big Dry, Billings, Dillon, Headwaters, Judith-Valley-Phillips, North Dakota, Powder River, South Dakota, and West HiLine. The proposed standards specify minimum required conditions for watershed function, nutrient cycling, water quality, endangered and threatened species protection, and habitat conditions for other wildlife. The proposed guidelines specify management practices or methods for meeting the standards. Guideline areas include the amount and quality of vegetative ground cover and soil organisms, the permeability of subsurface soil, riparian wetlands functions, stream channel morphology, the conditions for seedling establishment, and the prevention of the spread of noxious weeds. Of the 900 allotments affected by the proposed action, 180 would experience a reduction in livestock use and 15 would experience an increase. Roughly two-thirds of the allotments would experience range improvements or vegetative treatments. Under the preferred alternative, regional standards and guidelines would be incorporated into affected land use plans. Under Alternative 3, the fallback standards and guidelines defined in the BLM's grazing regulations would be implemented. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed plan, implementation would accelerate the improvement of vegetative cover and wildlife habitat on public rangelands. Overall, about 1,700 miles of riparian areas currently at-risk and 650 miles of non-functioning riparian areas would be improved. Hydrologic function of riparian areas and water quality would improve. The proposed action would also provide improved safeguards to ensure that the rangeland provides viable ecosystems for livestock and wildlife. The more precise guidelines would allow the appraisal of whether or not a particular area were a healthy ecosystem. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some economic hardship would be experienced by ranchers, particularly in Montana, where grazing would be reduced by approximately 28,000 animal unit months. Livestock permit-holders would likely have to decrease herd size in order to satisfy the new standards. Conservationists estimate that stocking levels would be reduced by up to 65 percent. The grazing restrictions would result in an income loss of up to $787,000 for Montana ranchers and a loss of 32 jobs.

Preparation date: October 4, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MORENCI LAND EXCHANGE; COCHISE, GRAHAM, GREENLEE, AND PIMA COUNTIES, ARIZONA. AN - 36408759; 6090 AB - PURPOSE: The exchange by Phelps Dodge Corporation, a mining company, of approximately 1,200 acres of private land (offered lands) in four parcels in Cochise, Graham, Greenlee, and Pima counties, Arizona, for approximately 3,758 acres of public lands (selected lands) adjacent to their Morenci Mine in Greenlee County, is proposed. Mining-related uses of the public lands can and are likely to occur, as allowed under the Mining Act of 1872 and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, whether or not the land exchange were completed. These uses would adversely affect vegetation, wildlife habitat, surface water resources, mineral resources, access to and through public lands, recreation on public lands, and BLM grazing income and grazing allotments; some socioeconomic resources would benefit from such foreseeable uses. Under the proposed action, implementation would result in a net gain of hydroriparian habitats and a net loss of upland habitats within the district; the provision of public access to wilderness areas and other special management areas; the improved manageability of public lands within the Safford District; the loss of BLM authority over mining activities on the selected lands; and a wider private property tax base in Greenlee County. Phelps Dodge would use a portion of the selected lands to support and expand current mining-related operations, with the remainder of the site used for security and environmental buffers. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Also under consideration is the Equal Appraised Value (EAV) Alternative (the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM's) preferred alternative for the Morenci Land Exchange), which was developed in order to address the 25 percent disparity in the monetary value of the selected and offered land packages. This alternative would remove all or portions of the 240-acre Clyne property from the offered land package in order to equalize the value of the lands to be exchanged. The No Action Alternative would include increased BLM administrative responsibilities in order to oversee mining use, regulatory compliance, and reclamation on public lands within the district; and the loss of the opportunity to acquire desirable lands within three long-term management areas and dispose of federal lands that are difficult to manage. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The acquisition of the offered lands by the Bureau of Land Management would result in greater levels of protection for several species listed as threatened or endangered. The local economy would be indirectly and positively affected through increased property tax revenues. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would include unavoidable adverse impacts to three grazing allotments and to cultural resources associated with selected lands.

AN - 36412319; 6216 AB - PURPOSE: This implementation of a general management plan to guide the development and use of the National Park of American Samoa for the next 10 to 15 years is proposed. The national park is composed of three widely separated units on the islands of Tutuila, Ta'u, and Ofu in the Territory of America Samoa. The Tutuila unit of the park is composed of approximately 2,500 acres of land and approximately 1,200 acres of offshore waters. This unit is located on the north-central part of Tutuila between villages of Fagasa on the west and Afono on the east. The Ta'u unit, located about 60 miles east of the island of Tutuila, is comprised of about 5,400 acres of land and approximately 1,000 acres of offshore waters. The unit is located on the southeastern half of the island with its northern boundary high in the summit area of the cloud forest. Ofu island is about 10 miles northwest of Ta'u and has the smallest park unit with about 70 acres of land and about 350 acres of offshore waters. The Ofu unit park boundary follows along the southern shoreline of the island from Fatuana Point west to Asaga Strait. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative B), are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action (the preferred alternative, Alternative A) would include the development of major facilities and access so that visitors to this new and, as yet, undeveloped park could fully appreciate its significant attributes. This would include the construction of a visitor center /park headquarters in the Pago Pago Harbor area and a new aerial tramway system capable of bringing visitors into the Tutuila unit of the park. These facilities would be built on land owned by the American Samoa Government located outside of the park. Visitor contact stations would be built in the Ta'u and Ofu units of the park. Other than by the aerial tramway, visitors would access the park via a system of hiking trails. No roads would built within the park. The villages located near the national park would be encouraged to provide national park visitors with food, beverages, and guide services, as well as overnight accommodations. Management strategies would be implemented to preserve and protect the nationally significant natural and cultural resources. Traditional subsistence agriculture, gathering, and fishing uses within the park would be maintained. The proposed action would also include the development of a full interpretive program focusing on the traditional Samoan culture and on the tropical rainforest, flying fox, and coral reef resources. The National Park Service would operate the park in a manner that would be consistent with fa'asamoa, the traditional Samoan way of life. Traditional customs and traditional subsistence uses of the park's lands and waters would be maintained. The estimated construction costs are about $9.8 million. An additional $450,000 would be needed to rehabilitate and convert existing facilities for visitor use. An additional $780,000 would be needed to be added to the park base to carry out operations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would bring about long-term implementation of both natural and cultural resource management and development of an interpretive program to inform and educate visitors, which would benefit the regional economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The facility developments would have minimal, short-term adverse effects on the park's natural, marine, cultural, and archaeological resources. Short-term adverse effects would be localized to the Pago Pago area on Tutuila with an increase in traffic and noise in the vicinity of major construction sites.

Preparation date: December 23, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SAINT CROIX ISLAND INTERNATIONAL HISTORIC SITE, CALAIS, WASHINGTON COUNTY, MAINE. AN - 36400057; 6086 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for Saint Croix Island International Historic Site, located in Calais, Maine, along the boundary between the United States and Canada, is proposed. In 1604, Pierre Dugua Sieur de Mons, accompanied by 78 others, established a settlement on Saint Crois Island. Preceding Jamestown and Plymouth, Sieur de Mons' outpost was one of the earliest European settlements in North America and the first attempt by the French at year-round colonization in the territory. Although the settlement was short-lived, it formed the foundation for an enduring French presence in North America. In recognition of its important historical significance to both the U.S. and Canada, Saint Croix Island is the only international historic site designated in the U.S. Park System. It contains a 6.5-acre island in the Saint Croix River estuary and two mainland parcels overlooking the island. Total federal ownership is 22.2 acres. The National Park Service (NPS) proposes to protect site resources and improve visitor services. A property adjacent to the existing NPS mainland shore parcel, which lies within the IHS boundary, would be acquired on a willing-seller/willing-buyer basis, and the existing house would be enlarged to meet the needs of a public facility. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 3), provides comprehensive visitor services and programs by developing an indoor contact station on the mainland. The contact station would be developed in the tract 01-105 house directly adjacent to the existing NPS mainland short parcel. This house, which lies within the IHS boundary, is strategically located at the gateway to the site. With a controlled environment for displays and exhibits, the contact station would offer more opportunities for visitor services and feature a wider range of interpretive media than allowed by outdoor exhibits. The contact station and its facilities would be fully accessible to all visitors. Development on the mainland would include a new, unpaved parking area near the current entrance, and a landscaped service area with picnic tables and play structures in a scenic and accessible location. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the integrity of the settings of National Register properties on the mainland would be preserved. Wildlife, indigenous vegetation, soils, water quality and air quality would receive protection. Higher visitation could be expected to increase demand on local businesses for food, lodging and related tourist services. NPS staffing would increase, with a year-round site manager and two seasonal rangers. Site interpretation would attain all management objectives, including restoration of the integrity of the site of the 1604-05 French habitation through removal of structures associated with St. Croix River Light Station. Artifacts from the St. Croix archeological collections would be displayed in the most appropriate location consistent with their protection. The quality of the visitor experience would be maximized for visitors of varied background, age, nationality, and ability. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction of an interpretive trail, parking area, and welcome area on the mainland shore parcel in Phase I would pose a temporary risk of increased erosion and sedimentation. The acquisition and conversion of the house on tract 01-105 to a visitor contact station in Phase II would temporarily increase the danger of sound, air, and water pollution during the construction phase. A potentially controversial provision of Alternative 3 would be the removal of the last ancillary structures associated with St. Croix River Light Station--the boat house and oil house. The oil shed is a generic type, but the boat house is unusual in design. The dwelling, light, and foghorn building burned in 1976, destroying the light station's integrity. None of the proposed alternatives for Saint Croix Island IHS would make provision for carrying visitors to the island by boat. Those who reach the island would continue to do so on their own.

AN - 36403416; 6053 AB - PURPOSE: The authorization for the Bureau of Land Management to lease Forest Service lands for oil and gas exploration within the Targhee National Forest in Idaho and Wyoming is proposed. The study area encompasses approximately 1.1 million acres in six eastern Idaho counties and one Wyoming county. Issues identified in the scoping process include the effects of drill pads, access roads, and pipelines on water quality, along with the effects of oil and gas activities on wildlife and the protection of old-growth areas, soils, and roadless areas. Five alternatives are considered in this draft EIS including the No Lease Alternative (Alternative 1, a No Action Alternative), the Current Forest Plan (Alternative 2), two modified versions of the forest plan (Alternative 3 and Alternative 4), and the Standard Lease Alternative (Alternative 5), which would allow leasing without stipulations. Under all of the action alternatives, exploration and development activities would occur between 1995 and 2010. Exploration would consist of geophysical investigations and the drilling up to ten exploratory wells, primarily in the southern part of the analysis area near the Palisades Reservoir. Each exploratory well would require a four-acre well pad and an access roads with an average length of six miles. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 3), most of the analysis area would be available for leasing including 44 percent with a no-surface-occupancy stipulation and 51 percent with a controlled surface use stipulation, timing limitation, or a combination of those two. Exploration and development activities would be restricted to the low to moderate potential areas. The high-potential areas are located in roadless areas with steep slopes, and access to such areas would be restricted under this alternative. Only three exploratory wells would be drilled under this alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Federal, state, and county revenues would increase slightly. The preferred alternative protects wilderness areas where oil and gas development would alter the roadless character and adversely affect water quality. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The exploration and development would result in a total surface disturbance of 433 acres over the next 10 to 15 years.

AN - 36398236; 6057 AB - PURPOSE: The consolidation of National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) research and administrative facilities located in Juneau, Alaska, is proposed. The NMFS operates numerous programs and facilities in various locations throughout Alaska. The two largest NMFS programs in the Juneau area are the NMFS Alaska Regional Office (ARO) and the Auke Bay Laboratory (ABL), which is associated with the Alaska Fisheries Science Center in Seattle, Washington. The two facilities, which are located in different parts of Juneau, collaborate in the development of fishery management policies and regulations for the fisheries off the Alaska coast. The ARO is located in rented General Services Administration office space in the federal building in downtown Juneau. The ABL, which provides the scientific research needed to support fishery management decisions, is located on a 3.5-acre site located 12 miles northwest of Juneau. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would involve constructing a new facility on a 28-acre undeveloped site at Auke Cape; the site has been transferred from the U.S. Coast Guard to NMFS. Access to the site would be provided by developing the existing National Park Service Road and Otter Way through the Indian Cove community. The proposed facility would include approximately 88,000 gross square feet (gsf) of administrative office space and common areas, 58,000 gsf of laboratory space, and 3,800 gsf of warehouse space. The site would be built to accommodate 273 employees and visitors. The estimated project development costs are $65.0 million to $70.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The consolidation of the two facilities would improve the overall efficiency of program operations and reduce administrative costs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction of the proposed project would adversely affect homes located along the National Park Service road. Increased traffic along the road would increase noise levels and alter the community character.

AN - 36403633; 6050 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for Carlsbad Caverns National Park in southeastern New Mexico, is proposed. The plan would put forth the basic management philosophy and provide the strategies for addressing issues and achieving management objectives over the next 10 to 15 years. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), under which the existing management direction would be continued, are considered in this final EIS. Additionally, the park would provide for visitor use and respond to resource management issues and concerns as funding allowed, but no major change in management direction would be initiated. Under the proposed plan (Alternative 2), resource management and visitor use decisions would be based on scientific research, inventory, and monitoring. Development and resource protection plans would be based on collected data showing the impact of human activities and facilities on the cavern and other park resources. Opportunities for visitors to enjoy and learn about park resources would be increased, special off-trail tours would continue, the opening of Ogle Cave to tours would be studied, and additional surface trails would be provided. The visitor center would be remodeled to be more efficient, and a ranger residence would be provided near Slaughter Canyon. Alternative 3 would remove many surface functions and facilities above the cavern within five years in order to ensure the protection of subsurface resources. To replace these functions, a new visitor orientation and transit center and a National Park Service operations center would be developed at the base of the escarpment. Visitor use of the cavern would be monitored and restricted to minimize further damage to cavern resources, and no special off-trail tours would be offered. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Alternative 2 and Alternative 3 would better protect the park's resources than the No Action Alternative. Alternative 2 would increase visitor opportunities and provide more in-depth interpretation, while Alternative 3 would limit opportunities but improve interpretation. Alternative 2 and Alternative 3 would both have beneficial long-term socioeconomic impacts. The risk of an accident that could close the cave to public entry, adversely affecting the local tourist industry, would be reduced under Alternative 3. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, facility and trail development would result in minor disturbance to soils and vegetation. Under the action alternatives, some 1.3 acres of vegetation and wildlife habitat would be destroyed. Because the proposed action would defer some resource protection actions in order to establish a scientific basis for decision-making, some potential resource threats that would be eliminated under Alternative 3 would remain over the short term under Alternative 2.

AN - 36399779; 6024 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a revised management plan for the Cape Cod National Seashore in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, is proposed. The national seashore, which lies mostly along the eastern portion of Cape Cod, is about 100 miles southeast of Boston and 275 miles northeast of New York City. Within the seashore are segments of the towns of Chatham, Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro, and Provincetown. The current management plan was completed in 1970 and is no longer adequate to address the policy and operational issues now facing the national seashore. Issues identified during the scoping process include air pollution levels, flood and erosion damages, coastal water pollution, diminished wildlife habitat, the protection of historic buildings, public access and facilities, and private ownership of some national seashore lands. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would continue the management practices outlined in the 1970 plan, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 1 would continue the management practices outlined in the 1970 plan. Alternative 2 (the proposed action) would place a greater emphasis on collaborative stewardship and federal-local government cooperation in order to preserve the natural and cultural resources along Cape Cod. Existing public use facilities and site attractions, such as the Salt Pond visitor center and the Fort Hill /Penniman house area, would be improved. However, no new major developments would be undertaken, and the overall impacts of development would be reduced wherever possible. Alternative 3, a variation of Alternative 2, would require the National Park Service (NPS) to take a more active role in resource protection. The estimated implementation costs of the proposed action range from $13.8 million to $16.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed plan would enable the NPS and local governments to respond to a set of problems related to the area's rapid population growth, particularly the increase in the number of year-round residents. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of the proposed plan would require additional NPS staff and increases in operational funding.

AN - 36411914; 6038 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation by the Phelps Dodge Mining Company of an open-pit copper mine in Grant County, New Mexico, is proposed. The 600-acre project area is located seven miles south of Silver City, along the northeastern flank of Big Burro Mountain. The area consists of 164 acres of patented mining claims for the Tyrone Mine site, which is also operated by the applicant; 390 acres of public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management; and 46 acres of the Gila National Forest administered by the Forest Service. Issues identified during the scoping process include the quality and quantity of post-mining water generated by the open pit; and the effects of the proposed haul road and California Gulch diversion on surface water and riparian areas. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action (Alternative 2) would involve the construction, operation, and reclamation of the proposed mine pit, including the diversion of stream water in California Gulch and the creation of a pit lake after mining operations have ceased. Groundwater in-flow to the pit bottom would be pumped from the pit and discharged to either the Number 1X Tailing Dam or Deadman Canyon while mining is in progress. The applicant estimates that over a two- to four-year period, 60 million tons of waste would removed from the pit and up to 100 million tons of ore would be mined and processed at existing permitted sites at the Tyrone facility. The project would require the construction of a haul road from the new mine site, across Deadman Canyon, to the Tyrone processing facilities. Overburden or other inert, nonmineralized materials would be stockpiled for potential use in reclamation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The extraction and processing of copper ore from the proposed Little Rock Mine would extend operations at the Tyrone site for approximately two to four years, providing employment, tax revenues, and local economic benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 230 acres would be disturbed under the proposed action, resulting in an increased potential for soil erosion and a loss of soil productivity. The diversion of California Gulch would result in altered flows in either Whitewater Canyon, a tributary to Whitewater Canyon, or Deadman Canyon. Construction and mining activities would adversely affect up to four historic and two prehistoric sites.

AN - 36403468; 6008 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to improve the existing water delivery capability of the State Water Project (SWP) within the Sacramento River and San Joaquin River watershed in northwestern California is proposed. The proposed action is designed to improve water levels and circulation in south Delta channels for local agricultural diversions, improve south Delta hydraulic conditions and to settle outstanding litigation filed by the South Delta Water Agency. The lawsuits charge that dams and water projects operated by the SWP and Central Valley Project diminish the flow of water in the Delta and makes it difficult to meet irrigation needs. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action would involve the construction and operation of a new intake structure at the SWP Clifton Court Forebay; channel dredging along 4.9 miles of Old River just north of Clifton Court Forebay; the construction and seasonal operation of a barrier at the head of Old River in spring and fall to improve fishery conditions for salmon migrating along the San Joaquin River; the construction and operation of three flow control structures at Old River, Middle River, and Grant Line Canal, to improve the existing water level and circulation patterns for agricultural users in the south Delta; and increased diversions into Clifton Court Forebay up to a maximum of 20,430 acre-feet (AF) per day on a monthly average basis, resulting in the ability to pump an average of 10,300 cubic feet per second at Banks Pumping Plant. These increased diversions would increase SWP annual average water deliveries by 46,000 AF per year under existing demand conditions and 122,000 AF per year under future demand conditions. The estimated costs of the project are $53.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would improve water levels and circulation in south Delta channels for local agricultural diversions and utilize the full pumping capacity at Banks Pumping Plant. Habitat conditions for fall-run chinook salmon in the San Joaquin River would improve. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in the loss of habitat from dredging the Old River and facility construction, negative flows in channels leading to the south Delta due to the operation of the barriers, and increased straying, predation, and entrainment losses from SWP pumping during the fall, winter, and early spring. The operation of the barriers could degrade water quality in the region by rerouting saline waters of the San Joaquin River away from the south Delta pumping plants and toward the central Delta.

Preparation date: August 14, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GEORGE WASHINGTON NATIONAL FOREST LAND AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, VIRGINIA AND WEST VIRGINIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1993). AN - 36400280; 6007 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the land and resource management plan for the George Washington National Forest in Virginia and West Virginia is proposed. The forest includes the Blue Ridge, Shenandoah, Massanutten, and Alleghany ranges of the Appalachian Mountain system. It lies within the James and Potomac river basins and within the Blue Ridge and the Ridge and Valley physiographic provinces. Elevations generally range from 1,000 to 3,000 feet; however, some mountaintop elevations are over 4,000 feet. Focal issues under consideration include biological diversity, timber sale economics, forest access, all-terrain-vehicle (ATV) use, roadless area management, special recreation management areas, aesthetics, vegetation manipulations, resource sustainability, mineral resource development, gypsy moth infestations, the adequacy of the plan revision, and the mix of goods and services provided by the multiple-use plan. A total of 14 management alternatives were considered in the final EIS of January 1993. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 8A), the plan would emphasize biological values such as habitat for threatened, endangered, and sensitive species, and wildlife viewing and nature studies, in combination with multiple-use management. The plan would establish multiple-use goals, objectives, and desired future conditions for the forest; establish forest standards applicable to future activities; establish management areas and the associated direction to guide future management activities in particular areas; designate land suitable for timber production; establish the allowable sale quantity for timber; allocate nonwilderness management direction or recommend wilderness study for 24 roadless areas; establish a monitoring and evaluation process; and designate 75,000 acres in the Alleghany front lease area as being available for oil and gas leasing. In this draft supplement to the final EIS, Alternative 8A has been designated the No Action Alternative in that it would continue the direction of the existing forest plan. The new preferred alternative is Alternative 8A-LF1, which would amend the forest plan to make the 10,000-acre Laurel Fork management area unavailable for oil and gas leasing and would withdraw consent from the Bureau of Land Management for future leasing. This alternative was developed in response to public concern about the likely effect of oil and gas development on the primitive character and natural beauty of the area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The revision of the forest management plan as proposed would provide for the continued production of selected forest products but would prohibit oil and gas development within the ecologically fragile Laurel Fork area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Timber harvesting, road construction, and other exploitative uses would destroy vegetation and disturb soils, resulting in sedimentation of receiving flows. Wildlife habitat in disturbed areas would be degraded, and visual and recreational quality in these areas would decline. Prescribed burning would degrade air quality temporarily in localized areas.

AN - 36408175; 5999 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for the Owyhee Resource Area, encompassing 1.8 million acres of federal, state, and private lands in southwestern Idaho, is proposed. The resource area is bounded on the west by Oregon, on the south by Nevada, on the north by the Snake River, and on the east by Castle Creek, Deep Creek, the Owyhee River, and the Duck Valley Indian Reservation. Most the public lands are contiguous except for a few scattered or isolated parcels. The resource area contains the northern extent of the Owyhee Mountain Range and lies within the Columbia Plateau, an elevated plateau with mountains separated by canyons draining to the Pacific Ocean via the Snake and Columbia Rivers. Focal issues identified during the scoping process and addressed include land acquisition and transfer, designation of special management areas, wild and scenic river eligibility, recreation management, livestock and wild horse management, and vegetation management. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative C), 17 critical environmental concern areas would be designated. Special management measures would be implemented to ensure that wilderness areas remain substantially natural in character and that the 80-mile section of the Oregon Trail within the resource area is protected. Recreational facilities at seven sites would be upgraded, and seven new sites would be constructed. Approximately 163 miles of rivers and streams would be recommended for wild and scenic river designation. Motorized vehicles would be restricted to existing roads and trails. Up to 9,000 acres each year would be treated with natural or prescribed fires. Livestock grazing would be prohibited on 9,665 acres, and restricted on lands below 3,500 feet elevation so that grass cover increases by 15 percent. Forage would be provided to support up to 178 wild horses. Existing wildlife habitat would be maintained and any unsatisfactory habitat would be upgraded. Timber harvesting would be prohibited on 32,600 acres of Douglas fir except where necessary for forest health. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, implementation would update various land planning documents for the resource area, replacing a management plan that is 15 years old and bringing management policy into compliance with recent court decisions and regulations. Habitat of a variety of wildlife and fish would be protected and/or provided. Significant visual, cultural, recreational, and geological resources would be protected or enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Timber harvesting, mining, grazing, and other exploitative land uses would adversely affect vegetation and associated wildlife habitat (including some federally listed species), streams and associated fishery habitat, soils, and air and water quality within the resource areas. Costs of grazing livestock would increase for area ranchers. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

AN - 36401091; 5996 AB - PURPOSE: The construction, operation, and reclamation by the Homestake Mining Company of an open-pit gold mine in Eureka County, Nevada, is proposed. The project area is located 0.7 miles northwest of Eureka, Nevada in the historic Eureka Mining District, an area known for the production of lead, silver, and gold during the late 1800's. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action would include mine development and surface disturbance on a total of 696 acres, most of which is public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management. During the expected 7.5-year life of the project, a total of 60 million tons of waste rock and 8 million tons of ore would be removed from the mine. Most of the waste rock and all of the ore would require drilling and blasting. Several blasts would occur each day. Mine waste would be hauled from the open pit to one of two proposed waste rock dumps and dumped in 50-foot lifts. Other facilities would include a crushing, grinding, and agglomeration facility; heap leaching facilities; and office buildings, parking lots, warehouses, and other ancillary facilities. These project components would interconnected by haul roads, service roads, and the main access road connecting the facility with US 50. Runoff would be directed around the open pit and the general mine site by diversion ditches constructed upgradient of the general mine site. Also under consideration are the East Waste Rock Dump Alternative, the West Waste Rock Dump Alternative, and the Partial Backfilling Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in the employment of an average of 225 workers during the construction period and 121 permanent workers through the life of the operation. The total annual payroll would be $5.2 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Geochemical testing indicates that arsenic and aluminum could leach from the alluvium and oxidized limestone; extremely low levels of arsenic could reach groundwater. Of the 696 acres disturbed by mining operations, 88 acres would not be reclaimed following mine closure. Mine operations would result in the loss of habitat for mule deer and the potential loss of habitat for threatened and endangered species: roosting bats, ferruginous hawks, and burrowing owls. The waste rock dump sites would create a visual contrast with the surrounding countryside. The Eureka Historic District, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, would be indirectly affected by mining activities. Noise levels would increase slightly for Eureka residents.

Preparation date: August 8, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SANTA ROSA SUBREGIONAL LONG-TERM WASTEWATER PROJECT, SONOMA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36399752; 5993 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a long-term wastewater project for the city of Santa Clara, California, is proposed. The improvements are mandated by the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board. The area is presently served by the Laguna Wastewater Treatment Plant, which provides tertiary treatment to up 18 million gallons per day of wastewater collected from the cities of Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, Cotati, and Sebastopol, and from the South Park County Sanitation District. A distribution system carries reclaimed water from the Laguna Plant to be used for golf course watering, irrigation, and wetlands management. The system is supported by storage facilities that hold 1,500 million gallons of reclaimed water until it can be reused or discharged. Water that cannot be stored or reused is discharged to the Laguna de Santa Rosa and Santa Rosa Creek, which flows into the Russian River, approximately ten miles north of the Laguna Plant. Discharge is currently limited to one percent of Russian River flow, five percent during emergency conditions. Heavier-than-normal winter rains sometimes force the system to discharge at rates higher than allowable, leaving the system without a reliable, legally sanctioned option. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 2 would use reclaimed water for agricultural irrigation in areas south and east of Santa Rosa. Alternative 3 would use reclaimed water for agricultural irrigation in areas south and west of the Laguna de Santa Rosa. Alternative 4 would provide for the transmission of reclaimed water to the Geysers, located in the Mayacamas Mountains northeast of Healdsburg, for injection and recharge of the Geysers steamfield, which is currently used as a source for geothermal energy. Alternative 5 would increase the allowable discharge rate to 20 percent of river flow. All of the action alternatives would involve expansion of the headworks pumps at the Laguna Plant. Ten potential storage reservoirs are included in the project alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: To varying degrees, the action alternatives respond to the increases in water use in the area, maximize recycling and reuse, optimize water resource conservation, and satisfy applicable regulatory requirements. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The storage reservoirs and pump stations would result in a loss of farmland and some residences. Service charges for wastewater would probably increase as a result of the project. Pipeline construction would result in habitat losses for sensitive wildlife. Some potential for groundwater contamination would exist as a result of leakage from the reservoir, storage tanks, or pipeline.

Preparation date: August 5, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LEWIS AND CLARK NATIONAL FOREST; CASCADE, CHOUTEAU, FERGUS, GLACIER, GOLDEN VALLEY, JUDITH BASIN, LEWIS AND CLARK, MEAGHER, PARK, PONDERA, SWEETGRASS, TETON, AND WHEATLAND COUNTIES, MONTANA. AN - 36408495; 5987 AB - PURPOSE: The leasing of land for oil and gas development in the Lewis and Clark National Forest, located in central and northwestern Montana, is proposed. The National Forest is physically divided into two distinct units: the Rocky Mountain Division (777,537 acres) consists of a contiguous mountain range in northwestern Montana; and the Jefferson Division (1.1 million acres) consists of seven mountain ranges separated by large expanses of prairie and agricultural land. The current forest plan prohibits oil and gas leasing on approximately 600,000 acres of wilderness areas, and permits leasing on 1.2 million acres under specified constraints. Seven alternatives, including the No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), under which no new federal leases would be issued, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative 2), the direction of the existing forest plan would be continued but additional protections would be added for steep slopes and lands adjacent to stream segments eligible for designation as "wild rivers" under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. Under this alternative, some 576,705 acres would be available under a no-surface-occupancy (NSO) stipulation, 178,059 acres would be available under controlled-surface-use (CSU) stipulation, 87,871 acres would have timing limitations, and 88,237 acres would have both timing limitations and CSU stipulations. The preferred alternative (Alternative 7) would limit oil and gas development in the Rocky Mountain Division while providing limited opportunity for exploration activity. Development with stipulations would be allowed within a one-mile corridor along either side of existing roads in the Blackleaf, Elk Creek, and Cuniff Basin areas only. Leasing with NSO stipulations would be allowed on a one-mile strip along the eastern perimeter to provide opportunities to extract oil and gas from surface locations located outside the forest boundary. In both divisions of the national forest, 966,780 acres of forest would be made available for oil and gas leasing as follows: 499,490 acres would be under a CSU stipulation; 20,921 acres would be affected by timing limitations; and 446,368 acres would be available under NSO stipulations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Continued leasing operations would provide a domestic source of oil and gas, and provide accruals to the U.S. Treasury from lease bonus bids and annual lease rentals. Construction and drilling activities would provide temporary employment opportunities for the local work force. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The new fields and associated road construction would disturb approximately 40 acres with sensitive soils. Air pollutant emissions from gas-driven field engines and emergency gas flaring could be significant in the area. Vegetation and wildlife and livestock forage in the immediate drilling areas would be disturbed.

AN - 36410897; 5982 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for the Challis Resource Area, encompassing 792,567 acres of federal lands located in central Idaho, is proposed. Focal issues identified during the scoping process and addressed include rangeland management, habitat protection for anadromous and resident fish, land acquisition and disposal, access to federal lands, and designation of special management areas. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) tries to strike a balance between protection of natural values and economic development opportunities. Under this alternative, seven new areas of critical environmental concern, containing nearly 74,000 acres, would be designated; these areas would provide special protection to bighorn sheep, elk winter range and calving habitat, cultural resources, anadromous fish, and fragile soils. Some isolated stands of old-growth forest totaling 980 acres would be permanently withdrawn from timber harvest. The 13 existing mineral material sites would remain available, and restrictions would be placed on collection of mineral materials in known paleontological areas. Forage would be provided to support up to 253 wild horses; livestock grazing levels would be reduced by up to 25 percent. Up to 14 river and stream segments would be recommended for wild and scenic designation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would consolidate three management plans now in effect for the resource area, and implementation would update various land planning documents for the resource area, integrating them into one comprehensive land use plan while bringing management policy into compliance with recent court decisions and regulations. Habitat of a variety of wildlife and fish would be protected and/or provided. Significant visual, cultural, recreational, and geological resources would be protected or enhanced. The availability and quality of trust resources to satisfy tribal treaty rights. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining and other exploitative land uses would adversely affect vegetation and associated wildlife habitat (including some federally listed species), streams and associated fishery habitat, soils, and air and water quality within the resource areas. Costs of grazing livestock would increase for area ranchers. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

AN - 36408409; 5978 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for the Grass Creek Resource Area in north central Wyoming is proposed. The area, which contains 968,000 acres of public land and 1.17 million acres of federal mineral estate, contains many rock formations important to Native Americans and paleontologists. Three key resource management issues have been identified: methods of managing vegetation to protect water quality, soil productivity, and wildlife habitat while allowing for some livestock grazing and off-road vehicle (ORV) uses; the designation of special management areas; and types and levels of public lands use allowed. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed management plan, implementation would emphasize the protection of forest resources, cultural and recreation resources, vegetation, access, and wild horses. Cultural and paleontological resources would be inventoried and protected in order to prevent unintentional damage from authorized activities. Forage would be increased throughout the resource area to support an additional 8,910 animal unit months (AUMs), excluding 2,300 AUMs set aside for wild horses in the Fifteenmile Wild Horse Herd Area. The herd area would be expanded by 16,000 acres through the acquisition of private lands, and opportunities for public viewing of the horses would be provided. Approximately 33,700 acres of public lands that are difficult to manage would be offered for sale. In all, authorized livestock grazing throughout the resource area would decrease by 35 percent. No-surface-occupancy constraints on new oil and gas leasing would apply to 20,200 acres of BLM-administered mineral estate. The land available for commercial timber harvesting would decline by approximately ten percent. The use of prescribed fire on 11,000 acres would improve habitat for elk, moose, and mule deer. ORV use would be allowed on 6,800 acres of public land. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, large tracts of scenic areas would be preserved and protected, and habitat would be protected and/or provided for a variety of wildlife. Visitor use and appreciation of the area would increase. Significant visual, cultural, recreational, and geological resources would be protected or enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, off-road vehicle use, improved public access to the foothills of the Absaroka Mountains, wildfire suppression, and land sales could adversely affect cultural resources. Additionally, an increase in vandalism could result from increased visitor use. The decline in authorized grazing and new oil and gas leasing would have moderate adverse economic impacts on those industries. Two significant cultural resources would be destroyed as a result of surface disturbance on mining claims. Native American rock art would be disturbed by bentonite exploration in the Frontier Formation. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

AN - 36399976; 5977 AB - PURPOSE: The recognition, development, and management of a National Historic Trail commemorating the 1775-1776 colonizing expedition of Juan Bautista de Anza in southwestern Arizona and southern and coastal California is proposed. The 1,291-mile historic route enters the U.S. on the Arizona border in the city of Nogales, and continues along a generally west by northwest course to the San Francisco Bay area in California. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under a single-theme alternative (Alternative AA), trail commemoration would be limited to sites and segments within federal lands and state parks. Interpretation would be limited to the 1775-1776 trek. Trail uses would be limited to horseback riding and walking. Trail management would be by volunteers and the National Park Service (NPS) would play a minor role. Under a multitheme alternative (Alternative B), the route would be marked as a continuous auto route and multi-use recreational trail, including biking. Interpretation would include two Anza expeditions, the American Indian tribes who allowed them passage, and the environment they encountered. The NPS would actively manage the trail. Facilities supporting auto touring and other activities would be encouraged. Under a broad-outreach alternative (Alternative C), the project would include the features of that under Alternative B and also the theme of layering history from prehistory to the present day, the promotion of public awareness of the trail, and the development of visitor contact facilities. Under the proposed action (Alternative D), the project would combine the promotional aspects of that under Alternative C with the historical focus of that under Alternative B. Predominant land uses along the route in Arizona would include livestock grazing, transportation facilities, irrigated agriculture, and the range of residential, commercial, and industrial uses associated with urban concentrations. Land use in California would be similar, with the addition of several military installations and a small portion of national forest land. The estimated federal share of costs ranges from $64,000 to $350,000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the project, cultural resources would be identified and protected, and interpretive sites would educate the public about their significance. Under most of the alternatives, the visual character of landscapes would be benefited. Trespassing would possibly be diminished as a result of public education programs knowledge and by having a defined trail. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project could result in the temporary displacement or disturbance of threatened or endangered species at developed sites along the trail route. Increased land use controls could be enacted by local governments in order to protect significant resources along the trail corridor.

AN - 36413208; 5974 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of roughly 70 miles of Route 54, Route 19, and Route 107 extending from US 61 near Bowling Green and New London on the east to Mark Twain Lake and the Mexico bypass on the west in northeastern Missouri is proposed. The improvements would be in the immediate vicinity of seven communities: Center, Curryville, Farber, Laddonia, Perry, Rush Hill, and Vandalia. Route 54 and Route 19 are principal arterial highways providing important links for interstate service between Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois, and connecting metropolitan areas and tourist attractions throughout Missouri. Both routes are components within the National Highway System, and accident rates on both routes are well above the statewide average. The proposed improvements to these two routes would involve widening the existing two-lane routes to a four-lane, divided highway and bypassing six of the nearby communities. Improvements to Route 107 would involve widening the existing travel lanes and shoulders on local roads such as Route J, Route O, Route D, and Route E and connecting these two-lane improvements to Route 54 and Route 19. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, which would make no improvements except normal pavement maintenance, spot upgrading, and minor safety improvements, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 1 would generally widen Route 54 and Route 19 along their existing alignments. The other build alternatives would construct sections of Route 19 and Route 54 along new alignments. The estimated costs of the proposed improvements range from $248.0 million to $269.0 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway improvements would reduce congestion on the existing routes, provide for planned growth and economic development, improve safety, and improve local, regional, and national transportation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of up to 47 residences, 3 businesses, 1,816 acres of prime farmland, and 16 acres of wetlands; sever up to 50 farms; cross 65 streams; and adversely affect six historic sites and the habitat of the Indiana bat.

AN - 36404486; 5970 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for Lava Beds National Monument, located in northeastern California, is proposed. The Lava Beds National Monument is located approximately 155 miles northeast of Redding, California, and 50 miles southeast of Klamath Falls, Oregon. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed plan, approximately 120 acres of adjoining public lands at Petroglyph Point would be acquired, but no boundary changes would be made to the main section of the monument. It would also provide for an increase of 38 staff members and facilities changes to provide for long-term resource protection and improvement of visitor use and experience. Changes would include increased patrols in sensitive areas; restoration of native wildlife and vegetation; construction or modification of research, dormitory, administrative, parking, and entrance facilities; and protection of the petroglyphs area from wind erosion and public damage. The estimated capital costs of the proposed action are $3.71 million, while annual operation and maintenance would be approximately $1.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Major beneficial impacts would accrue in the area of cultural resource protection and visitor use. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Several properties and structures, some of which are National Register properties or have traditional cultural significance, would require preservation. The added structures would visually disrupt the natural and historic scene, and some vegetation would be removed in development areas, with consequent minor adverse impacts on wildlife.

AN - 36408061; 5966 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the use and preservation of the 35-acre San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, located along the northern waterfront in San Francisco, California, is proposed. The park, which was established in 1988, consists of three areas regularly open to the public: the Aquatic Park Bathhouse (museum exhibit facility), the Hyde Street Pier and historic vessels, and building E at Fort Mason (park library and archives). The boundary of the park also encompasses the Aquatic Park Historic District immediately west of the Fisherman's Wharf Area. The Aquatic Park Bathhouse building, completed in 1939, is the centerpiece of the historic district. A critical issue in the park's long-term viability is the timely and adequate funding needed to rehabilitate, preserve, and maintain the historic vessels moored at the Hyde Street pier. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative C), are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action (Alternative A) would emphasize the preservation and maintenance of the fleet of historic vessels, small vessels, a library, and archival materials. The steam schooner Wapama, a national historic landmark, would not be preserved and eventually dismantled, but six other major vessels would be maintained and preserved. The park would pursue multiple strategies for major ship restoration, such as continued use of commercial shipyards and appropriate agreements with Bay Area dry dock facilities. The Haslett Warehouse would be rehabilitated to accommodate research and interpretive uses. Efforts would be made to provide a 19th century theme to the area. The intersection of Hyde and Jefferson streets would be redesigned to enhance pedestrian access and visibility of the pier. Under Alternative B, the preservation strategy would be similar to the proposed action, except the visitor contact facility would be located in the former bookstore and the intersection of Hyde and Jefferson streets would be developed further as an expanded and permanent pedestrian plaza. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, existing park facilities would be enhanced to display and preserve the historic vessels and park's research materials. Rehabilitation of the Haslett Warehouse would help preserve one of San Francisco's early 20th century brick warehouse buildings. Visitor safety and interpretive services would be improved. Without the implementation of any resource development, the park's resources would degrade over the long term. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The eventual dismantling of the Wapama would be an adverse effect on a national historic landmark.

AN - 36412762; 5951 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a Class III nonhazardous solid waste landfill in an unused open pit mine in the Eagle Mountains in Riverside County, California, is proposed. The site is bounded on the north, west, and southwest by the Eagle Mountains, and on the east and southeast by the Chuckwalla Valley. The southern boundary of Joshua Tree National Park is within 1.5 miles of the site. Roughly half of the 4,654-acre site would be used for waste disposal; the other half would be used for buffer areas and support facilities. The proposed project would also involve the renovation and repopulation of the adjacent Eagle Mountain townsite by Kaiser Eagle Mountain, Inc., on property also owned by Kaiser. The Mine Reclamation Corporation and Kaiser would jointly develop and operate the site. Kaiser currently owns portions of the project site, and the remainder is owned by the federal government and administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Under the proposed action, these federal lands would be conveyed to Kaiser in exchange for lands owned by Kaiser along the Existing Eagle Mountain Railroad. The landfill would be a waste-by-rail facility designed to meet a significant portion of Southern California's long-term municipal solid waste disposal needs. The amount of waste to be accepted at the landfill would incrementally increase over the first 25 years of operation: roughly 4,500 tons per day (tpd) for years 1 to 4; 8,200 tpd for years 5 to 9; 12,100 tpd for years 10 to 14; 16,000 tpd for years 15 to 24; and up to 20,000 tpd for the remaining years of operation. The total capacity of the landfill would be 708 million tons. Most of the waste received at the landfill would be transported by train via the Southern Pacific rail system and an existing 52-mile-long, Kaiser-owned rail line that extends from Ferrum Junction to the Eagle Mountain Mine. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The operation of the landfill would provide for the disposal of nonhazardous solid waste generated in the southern California area in the near and long terms. Under the proposed project, some 250 long-term jobs would be supported; in addition, 162 construction jobs would be generated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Groundwater would be vulnerable to degradation from waste leachate or seepage. The project would contribute particulate and vehicle emissions to the Southeast Desert and South Coast air basins. The operation of the landfill and use of the rail line could adversely affect populations of desert tortoise, bighorn sheep, as well as the California leaf-nosed bat and the Townsend's big-eared bat, two endangered and threatened species. Some level of health risk would result from the potential exposure of local residents to landfill gas.

AN - 36405292; 5935 AB - PURPOSE: A revision of the housing and administrative facility plan for the Shenandoah National Park, located in northwestern Virginia, is proposed. The national park was established in 1935, and most of the existing housing, offices, and maintenance facilities were built before World War II. Some facilities with cultural and historical significance are in need of significant repairs or rehabilitation. Some 32 trailers were brought into the park more than 20 years ago as temporary housing and office space, and many of these trailers are still in use. Some of the trailers are in poor condition, and it is impossible to keep them heated and rodent-free. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative C), under which all trailers would be removed but no facilities would be upgraded or rehabilitated, are considered in this draft EIS. The balanced alternative (Alternative A, the National Park Service's preferred alternative) would alter the way the park conducts business, with a transition from a required occupancy policy to a required presence policy to deal with emergency response in most areas of the park. Housing needs would be met by a combination of renovating existing housing at headquarters for seasonal employees and leasing housing in neighboring communities. All trailers would be removed. A total of 13 housing units would be built in the park, rather than 93 as proposed in a general management plan prepared in 1983. Construction would be limited to previously disturbed areas. The integrated alternative (Alternative B) would involve removing all trailers and moving offices, equipment caches, housing, and maintenance shops into surrounding communities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred development plan would meet the urgent needs of the Park for adequate office space, housing, and maintenance facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Minor wildlife habitat disruption would result from development. A slight incremental increase in air pollution would result from increased travel to work by employees living outside the park area.

AN - 36386459; 5927 AB - PURPOSE: The consolidation and expansion of mining operations at the Twin Creeks Mine in Humboldt County, Nevada, is proposed. The Twin Creeks Mine, which encompasses the former Rabbit Creek Mine and the former Chimney Creek Mine, is located 35 miles northeast of the town of Winnemucca. The Chimney Creek Mine is located on public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management, while the Rabbit Creek Mine is located on private lands owned by Santa Fe Pacific Gold Corporation, the project applicant. Existing mining facilities consist of three open-pit mines, four overburden and interburden storage areas, five heap leaching facilities, two milling and tailing storage facilities, and ancillary facilities. Gold reserves are known to exist adjacent to the pit areas, and the proposed consolidation would allow the applicant to extract the ore in a economically efficient manner. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action would involve the consolidation of the Rabbit Creek Mine and Chimney Creek Mine; the expansion of the South Pit to 15,000 feet by 6,000 feet; the development of additional overburden and interburden storage areas; the development of additional milling, flotation, and tailings facilities; the development of additional heap leaching and processing facilities; the expansion of the existing dewatering system and water disposal facilities; the diversion of Rabbit Creek and tributaries around the mining and processing areas; and the relocation of the county road. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Consolidation of mining operations would enable the applicant to store overburden and interburden in the most economical location; process ore at either of the two existing mills; and use available equipment and facilities from either mining operation as necessary. The proposed action would provide a steady stream of revenue to Humboldt County and the state of Nevada through the year 2011. The construction work force would total 300 people, and the mining work force would be maintained at its current level of 970. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed expansion would result in the disturbance of an additional 5,217 acres and would require the disposal of 131.5 million tons of tailings, 1,731.8 million tons of overburden and interburden; and 135.0 million tons of spent heap leach material. Ground subsidence related to dewatering would extend up to 1.4 miles from the pit. The drawdown would adversely affect some perennial streams and springs, including the Little Humboldt River and the Hot Springs area. Vegetation, livestock grazing, and wildlife habitat would be adversely affected within the disturbed area.

Preparation date: June 27, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WHITE RIVER RESOURCE AREA, CRAIG DISTRICT; GARFIELD, MOFFAT, AND RIO BLANCO COUNTIES, COLORADO. AN - 36399839; 5926 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for the White River Resource Area, encompassing 2.7 million acres of federal, state, and private lands in northwest Colorado, is proposed. The resource area encompasses parts of Garfield, Moffat, and Rio Blanco counties and three incorporated towns (Dinosaur, Meeker, and Rangely). Focal issues identified during the scoping process and addressed include land acquisition and disposal, access to federal lands, designation of special management areas, wild and scenic river eligibility, black-footed ferret reintroduction for prairie dog control, wild horse management, and oil and gas leasing and development. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of October 1994. The proposed management plan is a refinement of Alternative D as presented in the draft EIS. Implementation of the plan would involve the designation of 27,600 acres of woodlands for harvesting; 90,380 acres as critical environmental concern area; 143,083 acres as no-surface-occupancy area for oil and gas leasing, with 725,339 acres as controlled-surface-use area and 912,455 acres as timing-limitation area. Motorized vehicles would be restricted to existing roads and trails. Forage would be provided to support up to 140 wild horses; livestock grazing levels would be maintained at present levels for the short term. Three wilderness areas would be established, but no rivers or streams would be recommended for wild and scenic designation. Special management measures would be implemented for restoration of ferret population and the protection of Colorado River cutthroat trout, bald eagles, ferruginous hawk, northern goshawk, raptor, and grouse habitat. This final EIS, which is issued in abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed plan, implementation would update various land planning documents for the resource area, integrating them into one comprehensive land use plan while bringing management policy into compliance with recent court decisions and regulations. Habitat of a variety of wildlife and fish would be protected and/or provided. Significant visual, cultural, recreational, and geological resources would be protected or enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining, oil and gas development, and other exploitative land uses would adversely affect vegetation and associated wildlife habitat (including some federally listed species), streams and associated fishery habitat, soils, and air and water quality within the resource areas.

Preparation date: June 26, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - APCo 765-kV TRANSMISSION LINE; BLAND, BOTETOURT, CRAIG, GILES, MONTGOMERY, PULASKI, AND ROANOKE COUNTIES, VIRGINIA, AND MERCER, MONROE, SUMMERS, AND WYOMING COUNTIES, WEST VIRGINIA. AN - 36411669; 5914 AB - PURPOSE: The construction by the Appalachian Power Company (APCo) of a 765-kilovolt (765-kV) electric transmission line across 12 miles of federal land within a 200-foot right-of-way as part of a 115-mile-long project, located in central western Virginia and southern West Virginia, is proposed. The transmission line would affect lands under the jurisdiction of the Forest Service (the George Washington and Jefferson national forests), the National Park Service (the Appalachian National Scenic Trail), and the Army Corps of Engineers (the New River and R.D. Bailey Lake Flowage Easement Land). help meet the anticipated demand for electric power in the region and increase system reliability. Issues of concern include the effects on water resources, cultural resources, human health and safety, air quality and noise, recreation (trails and trail users), other recreation, social and economic resources, land use and land use plans, aesthetic and visual resources, plant and animal resources, and geology, soils, and minerals. Fourteen alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 14, the preferred alternative of the Forest Service and the National Park Service; the Army Corps of Engineers has not identified an agency preferred alternative), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative 1), a transmission line would extend from APCo's Wyoming Substation in Oceana, West Virginia, to the Cloverdale Substation in Cloverdale, Virginia. The project would include a 200-foot right-of-way for the construction of self-supporting and guyed-V lattice transmission line towers averaging 132 feet in height and 132 feet in width, spaced at approximately 0.25-mile intervals. Federal lands traversed would include a distance of approximately 2,100 feet at the New River approximately 4.4 miles north of the West Virginia/Virginia state line, which is administered by the Army Corps of Engineers and is currently under study by the National Park Service for possible addition to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Also, the Guyandotte River would be crossed about one mile west of Benton, West Virginia, where the Army Corps of Engineers maintains river flowage easements. The route would also cross about 12 miles of the George Washington and Jefferson national forests, entering near Peters Mountain about 1.9 miles southeast of Zenith, West Virginia, running southeast to cross the Forest Service/National Park Service-administered Appalachian National Scenic Trail about one mile north of Virginia Route 621, and finally exiting the national forest southeast of Brush Mountain, approximately 12 miles northwest of Salem, Virginia. This corridor would also include a small area of National Park Service land near Tinker Mountain, which could be avoided with proper siting within the corridor. The other eleven route alternatives would vary in length from approximately 113 to 126 miles. One corridor which would entirely avoid Forest Service land was not evaluated. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Increased availability of electric power to APCo's service area would increase reliability and reduce outages and voltage drops, and could stimulate growth in the area, increasing employment, local expenditures, and increased tax revenues. Project construction would create 35 jobs on average, with a peak requirement of 100, increasing area construction-related income by $90.1 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Irretrievable incompatibility with sensitive land uses and features would occur, such as the New River, the Appalachian Trail, and residences. The visual effects of the action alternatives would be high, adverse, and long-lasting, especially in such recreational areas as the Appalachian Trail, the New River, and various parks, mountains, lookouts, and highways. The National Park Service has determined that the adverse visual impacts of crossing the New River within the Wild and Scenic study area would be unacceptable. Also, the proposed action would not comply with the Jefferson National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan, particularly as it would apply to visual resources. The action alternatives would adversely affect wildlife habitat, recreation, karst terrain, noise levels, soils resource, water resources, and vegetation. It could also adversely affect wetlands and floodplains, aquatic biological resources, land use, social and economic values, archaeological resources, cultural attachment, human health and safety, and federal and state proposed, endangered, threatened, and sensitive species and state heritage list species.

Preparation date: June 20, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - REVISED LAND AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE NATIONAL FORESTS AND GRASSLANDS; ANGELINA, FANNIN, HOUSTON, JASPER, MONTAGUE, MONTGOMERY, NACOGDOCHES, NEWTON, SABINE, SAN AUGUSTINE, SAN JACINTO, SHELBY, TRINITY, WALKER, AND WISE COUNTIES, TEXAS. AN - 36410806; 5908 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of a resource management strategy for the national forests and grasslands in Texas is proposed. The planning area consists of the Angelina, Davey Crockett, Sabine, and Sam Houston national forests in east Texas, and the Caddo and Lyndon B. Johnson national grasslands in north central Texas. The national forest land comprises 637,000 acres in 12 counties; the national grassland land comprises 38,100 acres in three counties. The current management plan for the area was approved in 1987; in June 1988, the East Texas Federal District Court issued an injunction enjoining the Forest Service from failing to implement appropriate protective measures for the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW). Implementation of these protective measures was the major reason for the revisions to the 1987 management plan, resulting in the issuance of a draft EIS and draft plan in September 1994 for public comment. Issues of concern include vegetation manipulation (the use of prescribed burning, even-aged, two-aged, and uneven-aged management, chemical use, and pine-hardwood management) and the effects on biodiversity, special management areas, off-road vehicle (ORV) use, the RCW, integrated pest management, roads and trails (access needs, maintenance needs, closures, and roadside or trailside management), community stability, recreation, resource sustainability, the mix of goods and services, planning, minerals, and lands. Ten alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 8), developed after issuance of the September 1994 draft EIS in response to public comments, would place moderate emphasis on establishing RCW habitat management areas; moderate to high emphasis on the restoration of pine and related ecosystems, and on commodity production (including sustained timber harvests and minerals leases); and some emphasis on developed recreation and wildlife. Special management and restoration of longleaf pine ecosystems would occur in the 32,300-acre Longleaf Ridge area. Unique plant communities would be protected with a 27-site, 4,500-acre Texas Natural Heritage designation. The RCW habitat management strategy would be altered to minimize the economic effects on local communities and timber harvest activities. The Winters Bayou would be added as a candidate for a wild and scenic river designation. ORV travel would be allowed on designated trails in the Sam Houston National Forest and the Longleaf Ridge area of the Angelina Forest; all other forest areas would have open ORV use. All grassland areas would be closed to ORV travel. All grassland areas would be managed recognizing the needs of urban users. Non-native pastures would be replaced with native little bluestem, Indiangrass, and switchgrass prairie. The allowable sale quantity of timber would be increased to 113.4 million board feet, in part to address concerns put forward in U.S. Senate Resolution 285 to attempt to reduce the effects of forest plan decisions on local economies. Approximately 399,394 acres would be made available for minerals leases, with 58,871 acres with a no-surface-occupancy stipulation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The total acres managed for RCW habitat would be increased from 176,594 under current court orders to approximately 282,247 acres under the preferred alternative, and RCW populations would expand to recovery levels. Longleaf woodlands and shortleaf pine-oak communities would be restored, and beneficial effects would be expected on games species and on the 12 threatened and endangered species evaluated. Employment would increase by 201 jobs and total income by $4.271 million, primarily due to increased timber harvesting and recreational activity. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The overall pest and southern pine beetle hazard would increase in the habitat management areas due to the increase in the number of older trees, and stream fisheries, aquatic species, and water quality could be temporarily effected by erosion and siltation from soil disturbances resulting from road reconstruction and intensive forest management practices.

AN - 36400474; 5898 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of chinook salmon to the Clearwater River Subbasin in north-central Idaho is proposed. The Clearwater River is a tributary to the Snake River, which empties into the Columbia River. Hydroelectric and flood control dams built in 1910 and 1927 eliminated most the Clearwater River salmon, but those two dams were removed in the 1960s and 1970s, making most of the Clearwater a free-flowing stream once again. Issues identified during the scoping process include the possibility that the project would fail if mainstem Columbia River juvenile and adult passage problems are not solved; genetic risks to fish listed an endangered or threatened; potential impacts to wild and resident fish stocks because of increased competition for food and space; and water quality. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the Nez Perce Tribe would build and operate two central incubation and rearing hatcheries and six satellite facilities. Spring, summer, and fall chinook salmon would be reared and acclimated to different areas in the Subbasin and released at the hatchery and satellite sites or in other watercourses throughout the Subbasin. The supplementation program differs from other hatchery programs because the fish would be released at different sizes and would return to reproduce naturally in the areas where they are released. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would help to reverse the historic decline of anadromous fish in the Columbia River basin. A century ago, 16 million salmon and steelhead returned from the sea to spawn in the river basin; now fewer than 2.5 million return each year. The proposed action would establish a self-sustaining chinook population within two to five generations. The proposed action would benefit the local economy, increasing employment and the number of anglers seeking fishing and other recreation opportunities in the area. As manager of hatchery facilities, the Nez Perce Tribe would have a direct influence on fish runs returning to their homelands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Impacts of fish releases on the existing Clearwater subbasin fish populations would include genetic risks, food and habitat competition, predation, and disease transmission from hatchery fish to wild stocks.

AN - 36399546; 5894 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for visitor use, resource protection, and related facility development in the frontcountry of Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska is proposed. The vast protected area of Denali, which comprises more than six million acres, enables a spectacular array of flora and fauna to live together in a healthy natural system. Denali is the largest continuously protected area in the world. The frontcountry includes all nonwilderness area along the George Parks Highway, the entrance /headquarters area, and the park road corridor that extends 90 miles to the Kantishna airstrip. Over the past 10 to 15 years, changes in visitor profile and use have required changes in the management plans. Large commercial tour groups now dominate the visitor profiles, and their special needs and desires are not being adequately met by existing facilities. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative D), visitor facilities and services, including interpretive centers, environmental education, trails, and campgrounds, would be developed in the frontcountry to meet a wide range of visitor needs and interests. The park hotel would be closed, and the Park Service would encourage the private sector to develop visitor service facilities (accommodations, food service, and other commercial services) outside the park. The existing visitor access center would be remodeled and expanded to serve as an interpretive science center, and a new visitor services building and parking would be constructed nearby. Camper convenience services would be provided in this same area, and the existing store and temporary shower building would be removed. Some buildings in the former hotel area would be adaptively used to provide an environmental education center. New permanent rest areas would be constructed at Savage and Toklat. Additional trails would be constructed primarily in the Nenana River and Savage River areas. New campsites would be developed in the entrance area, the Nenana River corridor, and in the Kantishna area. Roads would be upgraded and repaired. The estimated cost of the planned construction is $21 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would improve the Park's interpretative facilities, thereby enhancing visitors' appreciation of the natural beauty of the area. Improvements to roads and facilities would help to accommodate increased tourist travel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some visitors might view the development of trails along the road corridor as an unnecessary erosion of the park's wilderness character. Facility expansion and construction would displace 53.2 acres of vegetation, most of it in the spruce forest community. The historic integrity of the Wonder Lake ranger station, the Headquarters Historic District, and the Kantishna Tailings piles could be affected by construction activities.

Preparation date: June 12, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MOXA ARCH AREA NATURAL GAS DEVELOPMENT EXPANSION PROJECT; LINCOLN, SWEETWATER, AND UINTA COUNTIES, WYOMING. AN - 36386301; 5896 AB - PURPOSE: The drilling of additional natural gas wells on existing lease operations in Lincoln, Sweetwater, and Uinta counties in southeastern Wyoming, is proposed by the Moxa Arch operators, which include Amoco Production Company, Bannon Energy, Marathon Oil Company, Presidio Exploration, Union Pacific Resources Company, Wexpro/Celsius Energy Company, and other companies. The Moxa Arch Field is located in an area of checkerboard patterns of private and public land ownership. The applicants currently operate 957 wells in the area. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the applicants would be allowed to develop 1,325 new well sites in the next ten years: 610 well sites within the proven production area and 715 sites within the flank area, where production exists but reserves are not proven. The wells would be drilled to a depth of 11,300 feet to 12,300 feet. Water for drilling and service trailer use would be obtained from wells and nearby rivers; up to 420,000 gallons would be required per well. The new wells would, in turn, require the construction of 1,458 miles of pipeline and 795 miles of access road. The pipeline would be three or four inches in diameter and used in order to connect the new wells to the existing pipeline system. Approximately, 3,000 gallons of water would be used to test each new pipeline segment. A reduced-level development scenario is also under consideration. This final EIS, which is issued in abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses; the draft EIS has been reissued as a companion document. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would allow access to reserves in the reservoir rock. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, a total of 20,293 acres would be adversely affected including 8,838 acres from pipeline construction, 4,823 acres from road construction, and 6,625 acres from well site development. This disturbance would involve the loss of topsoil, vegetation, livestock forage, and wildlife habitat.

Preparation date: June 12, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SAINT-GAUDENS NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE, SULLIVAN COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE. AN - 36407945; 5889 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park in the town of Cornish, New Hampshire, is proposed. The site was established as an official historic site in 1964 in order to preserve and interpret property associated with the life and cultural achievements of the American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848-1907). The site served as his summer residence for 12 years and his permanent residence for seven years. Aspet, the sculptor's home, was once an old inn along the stagecoach road between Windsor, Vermont, and Meriden, New Hampshire. Issues identified during the scoping process include methods of accommodating visitation increases; the preservation of Aspet as well as numerous artworks located inside the house and throughout the grounds; and boundary expansion in order to preserve the historic visual character of the site. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. Under all of the alternatives, implementation would include the continued preservation of Aspet, Little Studio, the new gallery, the picture gallery, the ravine studio, the stable, and Blow-Me-Down Mill; climate control and fire prevention systems would be installed in all studios and galleries. Two outdoor memorials would be moved or modified in order to reduce environmental stress on the sculpture. Under the proposed action (Alternative 4), management actions would occur in two phases. In phase one, a new exhibition facility would be developed on the eastern border of the site, all maintenance facilities would be removed from the site, and new facilities as well as a visitor contact station would be constructed outside the grounds in the area south of Saint-Gaudens Road. In phase two, the MacLeay and Heim tracts would be acquired to provide a visitor center/museum, administrative headquarters, and security staff housing. Two additional tracts (Bulkeley and Brown) would also be acquired in order to buffer possible development on the site's periphery. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the historic and artistic resources of the site would be protected and preserved as much as possible, and visitor experience would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction would result in the loss of 1.4 acres of forested land. Congestion on Saint-Gaudens Road would increase when shuttle buses were not in operation.

Preparation date: June 7, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - KLONDIKE GOLD RUSH NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, SKAGWAY, ALASKA, AND SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. AN - 36403133; 5884 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of a management plan for the four units of Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park in or near Skagway, Alaska, and Seattle, Washington, is proposed. The Alaska portion consists of three separate but related units: Skagway and the historic district; the Chilkoot Trail, including the old townsite of Dyea; and the White Pass Trail and city area. The Seattle unit consists of a visitor center in the Pioneer Square Historic District in downtown Seattle. This draft EIS is a collaborative effort between two vastly separated support offices and two park locations. The proposed action in Alaska would include development concept plans for Dyea and the Chilkoot Trail, and expand park management, development, resource protection, and maintenance components to meet most, but not all, of the expected visitor-use increases and interests in the park. A Klondike History Research Center would be established, in cooperation with the city of Skagway and state of Alaska, to process, study, and store historical, ethnographic, and natural history artifacts. Access to the Dyea area would be improved with a rerouted, wider gravel road, and parking, picnic, interpretive, and trail opportunities. Selected town streets would be cleared and signed. Archaeological inventory, surveys, and mapping; marking the historical segments; minor trail rerouting; and interpretive programs would occur along the Chilkoot Trail and along White Pass. In Seattle, the proposed action would lead eventually to acquiring a permanent location for the park visitor center, park offices, and historic collections. In the interim, expanded lease space at the present location would allow the exhibit area to expand and provide additional information on the role of the Pacific Northwest in the gold rush. Additional interpretive information (exhibits and walking tours) would be developed within the Pioneer Square area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, implementation would enhance visitor understanding of the Alaskan Gold Rush and the historic significance of specific trails and sites. Park visitation would increase, and the resulting increase in tourism would benefit the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Facility relocation and development would result in the loss of six acres of vegetation in the Dyea area. Some slight reduction in visual quality would occur at campgrounds along the Chilkoot Trail.

AN - 36386967; 6034 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the wastewater treatment facilities serving Camp Pendleton, a Marine Corps base located in the northern portion of San Diego County, California, is proposed. The base currently collects, treats, and disposes of wastewater through a system of 10 sewage treatment plants (STPs). In 1989 and 1991, the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board issued a cease and desist order on the operations of two STPs that were constructed in the 1940s and were not operating in compliance with current water quality standards. STP 9 is located along Las Pulgas Creek in the Las Pulgas Basin and is permitted to discharge 1.1 million gallons per day of surface water into the Las Flores Creek. STP 12 is located in the San Mateo Basin and is permitted to discharge 0.85 million gallons per day of surface water into San Mateo Creek. The sewage effluent from these STPs is not in compliance with current water quality standards. The proposed action would involve the construction of new facilities in the Las Pulgas basin, including advanced wastewater treatment facility, treatment ponds, approximately 19,000 linear feet of pipeline, remote chlorination facility, and injection wells. Treated effluent would be discharged into injection wells located downstream of potable water wells. The proposed action would also include construction of equalization basins from existing oxidation ponds at STP 12, approximately 12,500 linear feet of pipeline, and percolation basins covering 35 acres of land. The percolation basins would be located downstream of potable water wells. The proposed action is the only reasonable alternative that was found to comply with the cease and desist orders requirements. It is the only alternative considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the sewage treatment facilities at the military base would be brought into compliance with water quality, and the threat of contaminating local water supplies would be minimized. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project areas are located in an active seismic region, and ground-shaking could adversely affect STP operations. Portions of the project are underlain by poorly consolidated alluvium, and the potential for liquefaction, soil expansion, and erosion exists at both sites. In addition, both projects would adversely affect sensitive wildlife habitats and species, and water quality (from nutrient loading in coastal waters).

Summary AN - 16529171; 4256002 AB - This summary gives the major points of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) prepared for the Nez Perce Tribal Hatchery by the Nez Perce Tribe (NPT), the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and other interested parties. The Nez Perce once were one of the largest Plateau tribes in the Northwest and occupied a territory that included north central Idaho, southeastern Washington and northeastern Oregon. Salmon and other migratory fish species are an invaluable food resource and an integral part of the Nez Perce Tribe's culture. Anadromous fish have always made up the bulk of the Nez Perce tribal diet and this dependence on salmon was recognized in the treaties made with the Tribe by the US. The historic economic, social, and religious significance of the fish to the Nez Perce Tribe continues to this day, which makes the decline of fish populations in the Columbia River Basin a substantial detrimental impact to the Nez Perce way of life. The Nez Perce Tribal Hatchery is a supplementation program that would rear and release spring, summer, and fall chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), biologically similar to wild fish, to reproduce in the Clearwater River Subbasin. Program managers propose techniques that are compatible with existing aquatic and riparian ecosystems and would integrate hatchery-produced salmon into the stream and river environments needed to complete their life cycle.

The Clearwater River is a tributary to the Snake River, which empties into the Columbia River. The Nez Perce Tribe would build and operate two central incubation and rearing hatcheries and six satellite facilities. Spring, summer and fall chinook salmon would be reared and acclimated to different areas in the Subbasin and released at the hatchery and satellite sites or in other watercourses throughout the Subbasin. The supplementation program differs from other hatchery programs because the fish would be released at different sizes and would return to reproduce naturally in the areas where they are released. Several environmental issues were identified during scoping: the possibility that the project would fail if mainstem Columbia River juvenile and adult passage problems are not solved; genetic risks to fish listed as endangered or threatened; potential impacts to wild and resident fish stocks because of increase competition for food and space; and water quality. The Proposed Action would affect several important aspects of Nez Perce tribal life, primarily salmon harvest, employment, and fisheries management.

AN - 36404635; 5877 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for approximately 9.3 million acres of public land in the Big Dry Resource Area, located in eastern Montana, is proposed. The resource area extends throughout a 13-county region containing approximately 17.5 million acres, including 1.7 million acres in which the surface is federally owned and 7.6 million acres in which the minerals are federally owned. The plan focuses on two issues: the designation of areas with special values or resources as special management areas, and the accessibility and availability of resources. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), were considered in the final EIS of February 1995. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative D), the plan would seek to take a balanced approach to resource development and conservation in resolving issues involving mineral development, timber management, and livestock grazing. Five cultural sites (144 public surface and mineral acres of Hoe Recreation Area, 1,386 public surface and 1,098 public mineral acres of Powder River Depot Recreation Area, 360 public surface and mineral acres of Big Sheep Mountain Recreation Area, 80 public surface and mineral acres of Seline Recreation Area, and 160 public surface and 120 public mineral acres of Jordan Bison Kill Recreation Area) would be designated as areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs). Under the preferred alternative, oil and gas leasing would be permitted with a no-surface-occupancy (NSO) stipulation and rights-of-way (ROW) construction would be avoided within the ACECs. In addition, the Smoky Butte area would be designated as an ACEC. Four areas containing a total of 48,713 mineral acres would be set aside as paleontological areas, although mineral exploration and leasing with a NSO stipulation could be allowed on those lands. ROW would be avoided in Makoshika State Park, in special wildlife areas, and in special recreation areas (10,148 acres). A 69-acre parcel would be designated as the Calypso Recreation Area. Some 2,858 acres of land would be designated as the Cherry Creek Recreation Area, in which a dam with a 50-foot pool depth would be constructed. A 171-acre area would be designated as the Powder River Depot Recreation Area, in which only oil and gas leasing would be allowed, with a NSO stipulation. Recreational facilities would be provided along the Lewis and Clark Trail. Fallon County would receive 640 acres of public lands for a sanitary landfill. Development of coal would be considered on 580,547 acres containing 6.18 billion tons of coal. Approximately 1.6 million acres would have limited off-road-vehicle use, while vehicles would be allowed without restrictions on 2,320 acres. Special areas would be set aside in order to protect the black-footed ferret (11,166 acres) and the piping plover (16 acres). Approximately 78 acres would be available to oil and gas leasing with a NSO stipulation. Livestock grazing would be excluded in the Calypso, Cherry Creek, and Powder River Depot special recreation management areas and, from May 1 to July 15, in the Piping Plover ACEC. The final EIS had proposed closing the Calypso Trail to motorized vehicles because the high amounts of erosion the trail experiences each year; in response to public protests, this final supplement considers reversing that decision and proposes leaving the trail open to motorized vehicles year round. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Full implementation of the plan would result in both managed use of resources and preservation of the character of the area. The plan would increase the number and type of recreational opportunities available, enhance the protection of fish and wildlife, and increase recreation-related employment and businesses in the local area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Up to 228 cultural sites have been identified in the acreage set aside for oil and gas leasing, and these areas would require special protection. Four to five additional sites are located in areas set aside for off-road-vehicle use. Over the next 20 years, the gamut of permitted development and recreation activities in the project area would encounter up to 2,092 cultural properties, of which up to 296 properties would be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Reduced animal unit months for livestock grazing would result in temporary economic hardship for ranchers. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

AN - 36402938; 5868 AB - PURPOSE: The leasing of land for oil and gas development in the Uinta National Forest (NF) and Ashley NF in Wasatch and Duchesne counties, Utah, is proposed. The project area consists of 203,670 acres in the Ashley NF and 197,270 acres in the Uinta NF, including some lands with high and moderate potential for oil and gas occurrence on the south unit of the Duchesne Ranger District of the Ashley NF and the area south and west of Strawberry Reservoir on the Uinta NF. The Leasing Reform Act of 1987 requires the Forest Service to analyze lands under its jurisdiction that are available for leasing. The forest plans for both national forests have no provisions for leasing, but since the passage of the Leasing Reform Act, many companies have applied for or expressed interest in acquiring leases within the Western Uinta Basin. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under all of the action alternatives, development scenarios would consist of one exploratory well drilled on the Uinta NF; 2 to 5 exploratory wells drilled on the Ashley NF outside of the Sowers Canyon area; and 20 to 30 development wells drilled and produced on leases within the Sowers Canyon area of the Ashley NF. Alternative 5 would be the least restrictive of the five alternatives. Under this alternative all federal minerals within the analysis area would be administratively available for leasing and would be leased under Standard Lease Terms. A preferred alternative has not been selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Continued leasing operations would provide accruals to the U.S. Treasury from lease bonus bids and annual lease rentals. Construction and drilling activities would provide temporary employment opportunities for the local work force. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed new fields and associated road construction would disturb up to 157.9 acres and remove sage brush vegetation on which local wildlife depends. Air pollutant emissions from gas-driven field engines and emergency gas flaring could be significant in the area. Soils, vegetation, and wildlife and livestock forage in the immediate drilling areas would be disturbed. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Onshore Oil and Gas Leasing Reform Act of 1987.

AN - 36400395; 5866 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for the Sweet Grass Hills, administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) through the Great Falls Resource Area in Liberty and Toole counties in northern Montana adjacent to the Canadian border, is proposed. The project area includes 7,717 surface acres, 19,765 acres of mineral estate, and 1,644 acres of only oil and gas estate. A 7,500-acre area of critical environmental concern (ACEC) has been designated within the study area. The Sweet Grass Hills have a history of prospecting and mining for gold, silver, iron, and fluorite. Focal issues identified in the scoping process include land tenure adjustment, off-road vehicle use, oil and gas leasing, and minerals development within the ACEC. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative C), implementation would withdraw the Sweet Grass Hills ACEC from mineral entry and focus management efforts on preserving cultural resources and protecting aquifers in the East Butte area that provide potable water to local residents. The mining restrictions would not take effect until after existing leases expire. Of the remaining acres in the study area, some 14,659 acres would remain open to oil and gas leasing under standard stipulations as well as a special raptor stipulation, while all Federal minerals in the study area (19,765 acres) would be withdrawn from locatable mineral entry. The BLM would encourage holders of valid claims to relinquish their claims through purchase, exchange, or through conservation easements with private sources. In addition, the ACEC would be closed to off-road vehicle use year-round. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, implementation would preserve the primitive and natural character of the ACEC. The mining restrictions would eliminate potential adverse impacts on surface and underground water resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The mineral restrictions would adversely affect the local industry; for example, oil and gas revenues would be 2 to 4 percent less under the preferred alternative than under current management. Authorized oil and gas development in the area would disturb 54 acres. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

AN - 36386264; 5864 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a permit to the Summo USA Corporation for the development of a copper mine in the Lower Lisbon Valley in southwestern Utah is proposed. The project area is located 19 miles southeast of La Sal and 40 miles southeast of Moab. The affected environment consists of the valley floor of the Lower Lisbon Valley and gently sloping cuestas and structural benches flanking the valley. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternatives, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action would develop four open pit mines to access copper ore, four waste rock disposal areas and crushing facilities, a 266-acre leach pad to process the ore, a processing plant and ponds, a 69-kilovolt powerline from the Hatch substation to the project site, haul roads, and other support facilities. The applicant would commence operation in the first quarter of 1997. Mining would occur at an average rate of 12,500 tons of ore per day over a projected 10-year mine life. Final closure and reclamation would take approximately five additional years. The preferred alternative (the Facility Layout Alternative) would be the same as the proposed action except that Waste Dump D, which would be located directly adjacent to the Lower Lisbon Valley Road, would be eliminated. The waste rock would instead be transported to an enlarged Waste Dump C. In this way, waste disposal activities would be confined to a single large dump north of the Lisbon Valley Road and not be divided into two smaller dumps, thus reducing visual impacts along the Lower Lisbon Valley Road. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The production of copper would provide 143 jobs and $54.5 million in payroll over a ten-year period. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Withdrawal of groundwater at an average rate of 902 gallons per minute for milling and leaching activities would occur by the fifth year of the project, dewatering the shallow aquifer in the immediate area. Project operations would disturb approximately 1,103 acres of land. Birds and other wildlife would be exposed to poor quality water in pit lakes and tailings pools.

AN - 36399599; 5863 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an energy marketing and management plan for the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) in the year 2005 in its marketing area in Nevada and northern and central California is proposed. WAPA markets and transmits electricity produced from federally owned and operated hydroelectric plants to a 1.3-million-square-mile area extending from Minnesota to California. WAPA's Sierra Nevada marketing area distributes approximately 1,480 megawatts (MW) of power from the Central Valley Project (CVP), a hydroelectric facility operated by the Bureau of Reclamation. Four alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. The No Action Alternative would involve continuing WAPA's present approach to marketing power within the region, meeting 2005 loads that are comparable to today's load patterns. Within operating constraints, hydropower facilities would operate close to maximum peaking. This approach assumes an average monthly purchase of about 700 MW, 90 percent exceedance, and no contractual interchanges or exchanges. A peaking alternative would involve operating the CVP hydropower facilities to maximize power generation during peak load periods within operating constraints. This approach considers five purchase cases: no power purchases, 450 MW at 15-percent capacity, 450 MW at 85-percent capacity, 900 MW at 15-percent capacity, and 900 MW at 85-percent capacity. The baseload alternative, which considers these same five purchase cases, would involve operating the CVP hydropower facilities for relatively constant power output within operating constraints. The renewables alternative would involve operating the CVP facilities to maximize peak load periods within operating constraints and setting power purchases at 250 MW of capacity either from renewable resource generation or to support renewable resource generation. Generation would be evenly distributed among biomass, wind, solar, and geothermal facilities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Resource planning should ensure that WAPA can meet its contractual obligations to provide for the electric power needs of its customers. The power marketing plan, once finalized and implemented, would promote cost effectiveness, conservation, and reliance on renewable resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The baseload alternative would reduce marketable capacity of the CVP and would result in greater emissions during daylight hours when pollution levels are highest. The peaking and the No Action Alternative would create peak and trough fluctuations in reservoir levels.

Preparation date: May 17, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - IMPROVEMENT OF WATER QUALITY AND CONSERVATION OF RARE SPECIES AND THEIR HABITATS ON SANTA ROSA ISLAND, CHANNEL ISLANDS NATIONAL PARK, SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36397419; 5854 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to improve water quality and protect riparian habitat and rare species on Santa Rosa Island is proposed. In August 1995, the regional water quality control board issued a cleanup or abatement order directing the National Park Service to take measures to improve water quality on Santa Rosa Island. Streams on the island had been found to have high fecal coliform and pH levels. Located 15 miles south of Santa Barbara, California, the 54,000-acre island is one of five islands that comprise Channel Island National Park. In 1986, the National Park Service purchased the island from the Vail and Vickers Company, which retains the right of noncommercial use and occupancy for 25 years. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action would include a combination of management actions in order to achieve significant improvements in water quality in two pastures and eight of the island's 16 streams. These actions would include closing Old Ranch Pasture to cattle and horses, implementing rotational grazing in North Pasture, constructing a fence along the Smith Highway and in riparian areas in Brockway Pasture, and constructing three water developments. Cattle would continue to have access to other riparian areas. Grazing and browsing pressure on some rare plants and habitats would be reduced by the closure of Old Ranch Pasture, the removal of the island's deer herd, and the reduction of the elk herd from 1,100 to 450 animals. Residual Dry Matter standards would be raised from 400 to 1,000 pounds per acre to protect upland areas, and the weed management program would be increased as funding allows. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would remove some of the effects of overgrazing in order to conserve and restore rare plant and animal species as well as the habitats on which they depend. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: In pastures not targeted for management actions (South, Pocket Field, Lobos, Carrington, and Wire Field) as well as in some areas of targeted pastures, overgrazing would continue to adversely affect riparian areas, water quality, populations of rare species, archaeological sites, and soil.

Preparation date: May 13, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WESTERN ARMY NATIONAL GUARD AVIATION TRAINING SITE EXPANSION; MARICOPA, PIMA, AND PINAL COUNTIES, ARIZONA. AN - 36402916; 5852 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of facilities and operations at the Western Army National Guard (ANG) Aviation Training Site at Marana, Arizona, is proposed. The training site became operational in 1986, with the mission of training National Guard aircrews and units assigned to attack helicopters and air cavalry. Currently, 2,237 students are trained at the site annually; the number of trainees is expected to increase to 5,104 students in the near future. The largest increase in student training would occur in flight simulators, academic instruction, maintenance training courses. The three major components of the proposed expansion are the designation of tactical flight training area for conducting flight training operations, the development of a helicopter aerial gunnery range, and the implementation of a master construction plan at the Silver Bell Army Heliport and the Gila Bend Air Force Auxiliary Field. Under the proposed action (Alternative B), the flight training area would be reconfigured in order to provide unit sustainment and electronic warfare training. Instead of developing a new helicopter gunnery range, this alternative would continue use of the East Tactical Range, which would be divided into two air operations areas. Most construction activities would involve modernizing equipment to handle deployment of Apache helicopters. New facilities would include a high-tech training center, fire station, recreational facilities, and warehouse and maintenance facilities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would expand the area dedicated to training and improve overall safety by increasing the distance between training activities. The combat effectiveness of the ANG would be improved by the proposed facility expansion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Expanded training and new equipment utilization would result in short-term increases in emissions of particulates and other pollutants. Range modernization would result in the increased displacement and mortality of San Joaquin kit fox, adult vernal pool fairy shrimp and their eggs, and western spadefoot toads, and would also disturb other wildlife. Construction activities would expose workers to unexploded ordnance.

AN - 36410518; 5848 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of 15-year management plans for five properties (the Castle Clinton National Monument, the Federal Hall National Memorial, the General Grant National Memorial, the Saint Paul's Church National Historic Site, and the Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site) managed by the National Park Service (NPS), located in the New York, New York, area, is proposed. The Castle Clinton National Monument is a fort built on landfill at the southern tip of Manhattan in the early 19th century. The preferred alternative for this monument (Alternative 3) would involve constructing a roofed structure inside the fort walls while leaving the 1811 walls in place. The new auditorium would be used for performances, exhibits, and other activities. The Federal Hall National Memorial, on Wall Street, commemorates the site of the inauguration of George Washington as the nation's first president and the meeting place of the first U.S. Congress. The preferred alternative for this memorial (Alternative 2) would involve structural repairs and the installation of a visitor information center and the addition of exhibits and other interpretive media. The Saint Paul's Church National Historic Site, in Westchester County, New York, is an 18th-century church that served as a hospital during the American Revolution. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 2) for this site, management of the site would be transferred to the NPS from the Society of the National Shrine of the Bill of Rights at Saint Paul's Church, and efforts to preserve historical materials would be accelerated. The Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site is located in the Gramercy Park area. Under the preferred alternative for this site (Alternative 2), central air conditioning would be installed, the basement-level information area would be rehabilitated, and the library on the third flood would be restored to its 1923 appearance. The General Grant National Memorial is located in Harlem. Under the preferred alternative for this memorial (Alternative 3), a new visitor center would be built in the pavilion across Riverside Drive; the planned construction would require the acquisition of city property. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Visitor interpretation and appreciation of the sites would be enhanced under all preferred alternatives. The proposed development of the Grant visitor center along with the restoration of the Hamilton Grange (examined in a separate EIS) could help stimulate tourism and bring economic benefits to Harlem. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed roofing of the Castle Clinton structure would alter the appearance of the structure and also adversely affect the New York City skyline from some vantage points.

Preparation date: May 8, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SANTA FE PACIFIC GOLD CORPORATION, MULE CANYON MINE, EUREKA AND LANDER COUNTIES, NEVADA. AN - 36397362; 5845 AB - PURPOSE: The development and operation of a new surface gold mine and related facilities in north-central Nevada are proposed. The project area consists of 9,236 acres located 15 miles southeast of Battle Mountain on eastern side of the northern Shoshone Mountains and the western edge of Whirlwind Valleys. The area is characterized by relatively steep, barren mountain slopes and low brush cover. Roughly half of the project area (4,812 acres) is public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management, and the remainder is split estate land and fee land owned or controlled by the applicant. The proposed action would involve the construction of a western access road and the development of five open pits; 14 overburden and interburden disposal areas, including the Main Pit; surface drainage systems; pit dewatering sumps and associated piping and holding ponds; an ore stockpile; a heap leach pad and associated solution tanks; a mill facility; a tailings disposal facility; support facilities; a water supply wellfield and associated storage and distribution systems; and on-site utility installations and roads. Following a 12-month development period, the mine would enter active production, producing 0.5 million to 2.5 million tons of gold ore annually. Over the life of the mine, up to 11 million tons of ore would be recovered and 100 million tons of overburden and interburden would be removed and either placed in permanent disposal areas or backfilled. Alternative disposal areas, mining methods, and project locations are also under consideration in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new mine would employ up to 200 full-time workers for the life of the mine and provide associated taxes and revenues. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would disturb 2,688 acres, including 1,312 acres of public land and up to 580 acres outside the project area for access roads and borrow sources. Groundwater levels would be reduced as a result of discharges of up to 110 gallons per minute to mine pit excavations; leaching of excavated materials into groundwater might occur. Loss of wildlife habitat and displacement of wildlife from affected habitat would occur. There would be a loss of grazing potential within direct disturbance areas during the life of the mine. Visual resources would be adversely affected by expansion activities. Roughly 150 cultural resource sites, including 52 which are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, are located within the area of direct effect for the proposed project.

Preparation date: May 3, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FONTENELLE NATURAL GAS INFILL DRILLING PROJECTS, LINCOLN AND SWEETWATER COUNTIES, WYOMING. AN - 36411507; 5843 AB - PURPOSE: The drilling of additional natural gas wells on two lease operations in Lincoln and Sweetwater counties, Wyoming, is proposed. DALEN Resources Oil and Gas Company proposes to continue to infill drill their existing Fontanelle II unit and adjacent leased acreage (25,323 acres). In addition, Cabot Oil and Gas Corporation, Presidio Oil Company, and several other companies (collectively the Lincoln Road Operators) would infill drill their leased acreage within the Lincoln Road Development area (154,437 acres). The two lease operations, which are immediately adjacent to one another, are located 30 miles northeast of the community of Kemmerer and 70 miles northwest of the community of Rock Springs. Without the drilling of additional wells, a significant amount of reserves would remain trapped in the reservoir rock upon abandonment of the field. Currently, 907 wells are active on both leases. Collectively, the companies would continue infill drilling up to 1,317 additional wells over the next ten years. Because of the tight-gas formation, the wells would be drilled on 160- and 80-acre spacing. In certain areas drilling on 80-acre spacing would increase well density up to eight wells per 640 acres. The preferred alternative selected by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the Resource Protection Alternative, would involve drilling no more 1,228 wells over the next ten years, and all methods of avoiding or minimizing adverse environmental impacts would be implemented. This final EIS, which is issued in abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses; the draft EIS has been reissued as a companion document. POSITIVE IMPACTS: DALEN estimates that infill drilling would increase gas recovery from the area by 222 billion cubic feet of gas, while the Lincoln Road Operators estimate that gas recovery in the area would increase by up to two trillion cubic feet. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the DALEN proposal, as modified by the BLM, adverse construction-related impacts would include the conversion of 252 acres of shrub/brush rangeland to oil and gas production, the disturbance of 770 acres of vegetation including 15 acres in floodplains, and the displacement of up to 59 animal unit months per year. Under the Lincoln Road proposal, as modified by the BLM, adverse construction-related impacts would include the conversion of 6,470 acres of shrub/brush rangeland to oil and gas production, the disturbance of 6,676 acres of vegetation including 111 acres in floodplains, and the displacement of up to 514 animal unit months per year. Under both of the proposals, the project would result in a loss of topsoil in areas where reclamation is poor, increase the potential for sedimentation into the Green River and its tributaries, and disturb range areas for antelope, mule deer, and other wildlife.

AN - 36399410; 5760 AB - PURPOSE: The diversion of waters from the La Plata River and the Animas River for irrigation, municipal, and industrial uses for La Plata and Montezuma counties in southwestern Colorado and San Juan County in northwestern New Mexico is proposed. The project would store water pumped from the Animas River in the Ridges Basin Reservoir, and water pumped from both rivers in the Southern Ute Reservoir. Irrigation water for lands in Colorado would be pumped from the Ridges Basin Reservoir and conveyed through the Dry Side Canal and /or diverted from the La Plata River by means of an existing or a constructed diversion structure. Irrigation water for New Mexico would be stored in the Southern Ute Reservoir, released to the New Mexico irrigation canal, and distributed through a piped lateral system. Water for the Ute Mountain Ute tribe would be available from the Dry Side Canal, and for the Southern Ute Indian tribe from the Southern Ute Reservoir. Municipal and industrial water for Durango, Colorado, would be pumped at the Durango Pumping Plant or released from the Ridges Basin Reservoir, and would be conveyed through the Durango M&I pipeline or, for western subdivisions, through the Shenandoah M&I pipeline. The total project water supply would average 191,230 acre-feet (af) annually. Approximately 111,130 af would be used for irrigating 17,590 acres of land presently being irrigated and 48,310 acres presently being dry-farmed or not under cultivation. Approximately 40,100 af would be made available annually to communities in both states for municipal and industrial uses. An additional 40,100 af would be provided to the Southern Ute Indian tribe, the Ute Mountain Ute tribe, and the Navajo Nation for industrial uses. The proposed project would also provide for fish and wildlife preservation, recreation facilities, and a cultural resources program. This final supplement to the final EIS of 1980 considers changes in the project's environmental effects resulting from changes in design and construction phasing, increases in the type and amount of dredged material to be discharged into U.S. waters, the settlement of Indian water rights claims, and other regulatory developments. In addition, this final supplement presents new or updated information relating to geology, soils, water quality, aquatic resources, Wild and Scenic Rivers Act issues, wildlife habitat, endangered species, wetlands, cultural resources, recreation and tourism, environmental justice, and Indian trust assets. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide equitable distribution of water for a variety of uses within the region. Project construction would aid the local economy, generating 4,697 direct jobs and 3,161 indirect jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the permanent loss of 3,750 acres of wildlife habitat, principally elk winter and summer range. Up to 321 acres of wetlands not previously identified could be lost or adversely affected. Up to 223 acres of riverine wetland would be displaced. An additional 96 acres of vegetation would be lost due to design refinements of project facilities. In addition, the area would experience increased salinity in its water supply; a reduction in native fishery in the Animas River; and the disturbance of the entire 7,503-acre Bobo Wildlife Area and the 3,650-acre Hermosa Herd Unit elk habitat. Two endangered species of fish would also be jeopardized by the completion of the project.

AN - 36385972; 5754 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for 50,000 acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public lands within the Clear Creek management area, located in central California, is proposed. Approximately 30,000 acres of this land are within an existing serpentine area of critical environmental concern (ACEC), so designated because of the high concentrations of naturally occurring asbestos occurring in its serpentine soil. The presence of asbestos creates health concerns because vehicles on unpaved roads, trails, and barren slopes generate asbestos fibers, which can be inhaled by visitors. In addition, the management area is host to a unique assemblage of plants, including the San Benito evening primrose, a federally protected species. Because of these issues, a major objective of a management plan for the area is to regulate off-highway vehicle (OHV) use while satisfying the public's recreational demands. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would continue the existing management practices, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 3), natural values and human health would be protected while allowing recreational uses. All vehicle travel would be restricted to a system of designated routes spanning the entire management area. Initially, a network of 155 miles of roads and trails would be available; the goal for the area is 270 miles. The area would be managed under a mostly limited use designation rather than a mostly open designation. Seven hill climb areas would be conditionally open (207 acres), with the remainder conditionally closed pending a thorough review of all barren areas. All available hillclimb play areas would be located in Clear Creek Canyon. In all, 927 acres of barren hillclimbs would be open to OHV use, and 1,392 acres would be closed. The San Benito Mountain Natural Area would be expanded to include other unique sensitive ecological areas. Public vehicle access would be restricted to prevent unnecessary health and safety risks from dry and dusty road conditions. The public would have access to a vehicle washrack and asbestos air concentrations would be posted. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, erosion rates would be reduced by 62 percent over present levels. Increased limitations on OHV use would improve riparian, vernal pool, and terrace habitats, and also their associated plant and animal communities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Although airborne asbestos would be reduced by as much as 50 percent over present levels under the preferred alternative, roughly five persons out of 100,000 who visit the area would run an elevated risk of contracting cancer. Areas in which OHV use is permitted would continue to experience high levels of soil and vegetative disturbance. Proposed restrictions on OHV use would reduce visitor use by 20 percent and local sales revenue by $465,000. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

AN - 36396989; 5745 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of the native anadromous fisheries and ecosystem of the Elwha River in Clallam County, Washington, is proposed. Much of the 45-mile-long river flows through the Olympic National Park. In the early 1900s, the free-flowing Elwha River was blocked by two hydroelectric dams. In 1912, the Elwha Dam was built 4.9 miles from the mouth of the river, creating Lake Aldwell. In 1926, the Glines Canyon dam was built 8.5 miles further upstream, creating Lake Mills. The presence and operation of the dams blocked the migration path for several species of salmon and trout, which, after maturing in the ocean, return to Elwha to spawn, and the dams prevent the downstream flow of nutrients, sediment, and woody debris needed by the fish to spawn and rear juveniles. The fish were also important to the diet, culture, and economy of a local Indian tribe, the Lower Elwha S'Klallam Tribe. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would involve the retention of the dams, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action (the River Erosion Alternative) would involve fully restoring the river ecosystem and its fisheries by removing both dams over an 18 to 24 month period and implementing fish restoration and revegetation. Elwha Dam would be removed by blasting, and Glines Canyon Dam by a combination of blasting and diamond-wire saw cutting. Lake Aldwell would be drained by a diversion channel, and Lake Mills by notching down Glines Canyon Dam. Stored sediment would be eroded naturally by the Elwha River. The Dredge and Slurry Alternative would involve the use of suction dredges to remove fine-grained sediment prior to dam removal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would fully restore the Elwha River ecosystem, return the cultural and economic focus of the Lower Elwha S'Klallam Tribe, and promote the federal trust responsibility to affected Indian tribes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Deactivation of the dams would result in the loss of 18.7 megawatts of hydroelectric power now produced at these two sites. If sediment were allowed to erode naturally, the finer-grained particles, like silt and clay, could adversely affect fish or other aquatic organisms. Flood risks would increase following dam removal.

AN - 36411191; 5731 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance to the Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District (SRP) of a federal coal lease for mining and related activities on 16,813 acres of land near Fence Lake in Catron and Cibola counties, New Mexico, and Apache County, Arizona, is proposed. The project would include two basic elements: the Fence Lake mine and its site facilities, located 14 miles north of the town of Quemado, New Mexico; and a 44-mile-long railroad corridor to be constructed west of the mine and terminating at the Coronado generating station located six miles northeast of St. Johns, Arizona. Under the proposal, SRP would mine a total of 81.3 million tons of coal from the site over the 50-year life of the mine. Approximately 35.6 million tons would be federal coal, and the remaining 45.7 million tons would be state-leased and privately-owned coal. The anticipated coal production through year 28 would be 1.8 million tons per year. The coal would be transported by rail to be used at SRP's existing Coronado generating station. The rail line would carry approximately 100 tons of coal per day. Following the release of the draft EIS of September 1990, additional baseline on the environmental effects of the mine were collected in response to public concerns. This final supplement to the final EIS considers this additional data. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the issuance would allow for maximum economic recovery of the coal resource and excludes certain sensitive areas from leasing in order to protect resources and comply with the Bureau of Land Management's management plans. In addition to the substantial improvement in the long-term provision of energy via coal-generated electric power, the lease activities would provide local employment and county government income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 8,432 acres would be disturbed by mining, support facilities, and transportation rights-of-way. Following reclamation, the project area would be adversely affected topographically and geologically. All other adverse impacts, which would include air quality degradation, visual impacts, damage to grassland vegetative communities, and grazing resource losses, would be minor or negligible.

AN - 36398834; 5727 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water management plan for the Jamestown Reservoir in order to mitigate the impact of reservoir operations on the Arrowwood National Wildlife Refuge in east-central North Dakota is proposed. The refuge, which was established in 1935 as a refuge and breeding ground for migratory birds and other wildlife, comprises 16,000 acres along 16 miles of the James River Valley. The Jamestown Dam is located 20 miles downstream of from the refuge. The dam and its reservoir affect the refuge in several ways. During flood years, high reservoir elevations cause backwater effects that eliminate or severely reduce water management capability at the refuge. Afterwards, water in the reservoir recedes. Excess water often remains in the refuge because of poor pool drainage and channel obstructions below the lowermost refuge pool. During normal years, the difference in the elevations of the reservoir and the refuge pools is too small to allow the refuge pools to be drawn down in a timely manner. The reservoir also supports rough fish such as carp and buffalo that invade the refuge during high water periods. These fish can cause extensive damage to aquatic resources important for migratory and nesting waterfowl. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in the draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative, the reservoir's joint use pool would be lowered by 1.8 feet, and a 2.5-mile-long channel would be built around Jim Lake and a 7.0-mile-long channel would be built around Mud Lake to improve drawdown capabilities. A dike would be constructed at the mouth of Stony Brook Creek, and moist soil subimpoundments would be constructed in Mud Lake and Jim Lake to enhance waterfowl habitat. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would enable refuge managers to transfer water between pools and control water levels within the refuge, protecting habitat during both normal and dry years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would cause a temporary increase in turbidity in the lakes and waterways.

Preparation date: April 8, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FRASER VALLEY LOOP TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, ARAPAHO NATIONAL FOREST AND ROOSEVELT NATIONAL FOREST, GRAND COUNTY, COLORADO. AN - 36407965; 5828 AB - PURPOSE: The construction by Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association of a 22-mile-long, 115-kilovolt (115-kV) transmission line extending from the Fraser substation to the Mill substation in Fraser Valley, Colorado, is proposed. The line would improve the reliability of electrical service to the Fraser Valley region. At present, the Fraser-Windy Gap 138-kV line is the only transmission line service serving the region. An additional line would provide loop service to the area, thereby allowing routine maintenance of the system to occur and reducing the risk of system outages. Since 1981, the existing line has experienced 18 outages, each affecting roughly 6,000 metered customers. Significant issues developed during the scoping process include the need to perform maintenance on the existing line; the visual impacts to a high mountain valley dependent on the tourist industry; the potential lowering of property values in a region experiencing economic growth; threats to sensitive wildlife resources; and potential threats to wetlands occupying the middle of Fraser Valley. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (the Southern Alternative), the preferred route for the new line would make maximum use of harvested and previously disturbed areas on national forest lands and private property (including the Cyprus AMAX Henderson Mine property). H-frame wood pole or single pole structures would be used for the transmission line, and three-pole wood structures would be used at angle locations. These structures would require a 75- to 100-foot-wide right-of-way. The estimated cost of constructing the new line is $11.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve the reliability of electrical service to the Fraser Valley region by establishing a high-voltage transmission system network (loop service) at the Fraser substation and increase the level of security by eliminating the possibility of a single contingency outage. Two sources of electric power would allow both lines to be maintained in a comprehensive manner, thereby improving the reliability of each line and improving reliability for the customer even further. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction would disturb 26.7 acres of wetlands and 4.2 acres of Class I paleontological resources; visually impact the Church Park dispersed recreation area, an important scenic and recreation area of the national forest; and create the potential for avian collisions with transmission lines and structures.

AN - 36399284; 5825 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, located in southwestern Arizona, is proposed. The monument, which was established in 1937, consists of 330,689 acres of Sonoran Desert along the border with Mexico. It contains a wide variety of ecologically significant resources, including the endangered Quitobaquito desert pupfish, and sites of archaeological and ethnological importance, some of which are still in use by the descendents of the original Tohono O'odham people, whose reservation borders the monument to the east. In 1976, the monument was designated a biosphere reserve as part of the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere program. With the steady growth in the number of people coming to the area, existing facilities have not been able to accommodate demand. Under the proposed action, the project would include upgrading existing programs and facilities to manage, preserve, protect, and interpret the park's resources. Major features of the plan would include increased regional, tri-national, and interagency cooperative efforts; the preservation for significant cultural resources; new facilities and other improvements in the Twin Peaks, Lukeville, and Quitobaquito Springs areas; and the designation of the monument as Sonoran Desert National Park. In addition, the National Park Service would launch a cooperative program to reduce the excessive volume and speed of traffic along State Route 85. This draft supplement to the draft EIS Of April 1995 presents technical revisions to the proposed action and a second alternative originally presented in the draft EIS; the revisions were developed in response to public comment. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would improve the monument's interpretation facilities, thereby enhancing visitors' appreciation of the Sonoran Desert. Implementation under the proposed action would also lead to an expansion of national wilderness areas by 1,509 acres and help perpetuate the existence of endangered and sensitive species, including the Quitobaquito desert pupfish and Quitobaquito snail. A new trail system would help to control visitor use and reduce adverse ecological impacts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased visitation of the area would further increase air pollutant levels, despite the area's redesignation from a class II to a class I airshed. The proposed construction would result in the disturbance or loss of 50 acres of desert flora.

AN - 36399281; 5824 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Cabrillo National Monument in San Diego, California, is proposed. The monument is located on the southern end of Point Loma, a narrow, six-mile-long peninsula at the entrance to San Diego Bay. From its 420-foot elevation, the monument offers a commanding view of San Diego, its bay, and the cities immediately to the north and south. The 144-acre monument is an enclave within the federal military reservation on Point Loma. The monument was established in 1913 to commemorate the European "discovery" of the west coast of the United States by Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo in 1542. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative B), management of natural resources would be enhanced by restoring and preserving coastal sage scrub habitat, increasing staff positions, and minimizing potential impacts of visitors on the tidepool ecosystem. An interpretive facility would be constructed at the lighthouse and the lighthouse landscape improved to better reflect the 1880s period. Access to and interpretation of some historic coastal defense structures would be provided. A marine science facility would be converted to an intertidal interpretive center if the facility were declared to be in excess of the Navy's needs and is transferred to the National Park Service. The whale overlook would be expanded, and the Bayside Trail would be extended in order to form a loop trail that would provide a better impression of native habitat. Estimated development costs are $1.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the project, cultural resources would be identified and protected, and interpretive sites would educate the public about their significance. The visual character of landscapes would be benefited. Trespassing could be diminished as a result of public education programs and by access to a trail that provides a view of environmentally sensitive areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Trail expansion would temporarily expose 8,400 square feet of soil to erosion and also to invasion by exotic plant species.

AN - 36400862; 5816 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for the Green River Resource Area in south-central and southwestern Wyoming is proposed. The area contains 3.5 million acres of land in which the surface and minerals are federally owned, 135,000 acres in which only the surface is federally owned, and 81,000 additional acres in which only the minerals are federally owned (split estate). Focal issues identified during the scoping process and addressed include the protection of vegetation, soils, and watershed values; the suitability of areas for special-management designations; and opportunities for improving accessibility for mining, recreation, cultural-resource activities, and other uses. Four alternatives are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed plan, approximately 152,460 acres of public land would be unavailable for oil and gas leasing; 81,261 acres would be assigned no surface occupancy restrictions; seasonal restrictions would be placed on up to 2.04 million acres of certain big game winter ranges; and 1.25 million acres would be subject to controlled surface use restrictions. Approximately 3.62 trillion cubic feet of gas, 128 million barrels of oil, and 325 million tons of coal would be produced from available lands. Development of trona and other mineral resources would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis; it is estimated that about 16 million tons of trona would be produced annually. Areas for off-road-vehicle (ORV) use would be set aside and provided on a permit basis; 181,930 acres would remain closed to ORV use. Approximately 67,700 acres would be set aside to enhance vegetative diversity and wildlife habitat. Herds of wild horses would be maintained in five management areas. Ten areas of critical environmental concern would be set aside to protect sensitive plants, petroglyphs, and other natural and cultural resources. Livestock grazing would be permitted but would not exceed 318,647 animal unit months. Approximately 7,900 acres would be set aside for timber harvesting, which could average 500,000 board feet per year. Rock art sites, historic trails, and other cultural resources would be managed to maintain their intrinsic values. Some 13,000 acres of public lands would be eligible for disposal. In addition to the proposed plan, three other alternatives are also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed plan would provide a balance of recreational and economic uses of public lands. Recreation user days would increase by 60 percent over 20 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Because all forested land would be placed in a restricted management category, there would be a 55 percent reduction in timber output. Livestock grazing, mining, and other economic ventures would also be adversely affected by the closure of certain areas.

AN - 36414323; 5808 AB - PURPOSE: The continuation and expansion of Zortman Mining, Inc., (ZMI) mining operations at both the Zortman and Landusky mines, located in Phillips County, Montana, is proposed. On May 11, 1992, ZMI submitted an application to the Lewiston District of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Montana Department of Environmental Quality to expand mining operations at the mines in Montana's Little Rocky Mountains. Issues identified through public scoping include Native American religious concerns, acid rock drainage, reclamation, and socioeconomics. Seven alternatives, including the company's proposal and a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The five other agency alternatives would involve various combinations of approval or rejection of mine expansion, acceptance of company reclamation plan, and adoption of one of several agency reclamation strategies. The proposal would include the expansion of existing mine pits to access sulfide ore; a 150-acre, 60-million-ton waste rock disposal area; crushing facilities; a two-and-one-half-mile conveyor system; a 200-acre, 80-million-ton leach pad; a new processing plant and ponds; a limestone quarry; and other associated facilities. Total disturbance would increase from the existing 401 acres to about 1,292 acres. The operation would be located on private and BLM-managed land. The preferred alternative (Alternative 7) would be similar to the company's proposal for both mine expansion and modification of reclamation plans, but with agency mitigation added in order to reduce or avoid adverse impacts. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would correct inadequacies in the existing reclamation plans: it has become apparent that the current approved reclamation plans are not adequate to limit or prevent the development of acid rock drainage from the present mine facilities; and secondly, ZMI wants to develop its property rights. The Zortman and Landusky mines have employed a large number of workers from 1979 through 1994. As this employment is a significant proportion of the regional workforce, continuation of mine operations would prevent adverse socioeconomic impacts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The mine expansion would develop sulfide ore and waste to an extent not previously contemplated for the Zortman and Landusky mines. Existing and possible additional adverse water quality and aquatic habitat impacts would result from acid rock drainage, as well as from potential leakage of heap leach process solution from storage ponds and other contaminant drainage events. Expansion activities would adversely affect Native American cultural resources and the use of these resources as a result of mine noise, air quality and water resources degradation, and modification of the visual perspective from certain locations of traditional cultural practices and importance. Habitat losses resulting from action alternatives would be 1,257 to 2,431 acres.

AN - 36402733; 5804 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a visitors' orientation and information center, and related facilities within the southern development zone of Denali State Park, located in Alaska, is proposed. The facility would provide additional access to Denali National Park and Preserve, which presently has only one access road to the north. Major focus issues include the impacts of the project on wildlife, vegetation, historic and archaeological resources, potential wilderness designation, subsistence use, the social and economic environments of Talkeetna and Cantwell, and visitor activities, plus the distance of the proposed center from the national park. This draft EIS revises the recommendations made in a June 1993 draft EIS; the revision reflects the recommendations made by task force appoitned by the Secretary of the Interior in 1994. Under the proposed action, as revised, the Park Service would construct a 13,000-square-foot visitors' center in the Tokositna area of Denali State Park. The Petersville Road would be upgraded and extended to access this new facility. A campground of up to 50 sites, a picnic area, up to four public use cabins, and short hiking/interpretive trails would also be developed in the Tokositna area. Additional visitor facilities and services would be developed at Talkeetna, Broad Pass, and in the central development zone of Denali State Park once the need for such development has been established and consensus has been reached among affected Native American groups and government agencies. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative C), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the action alternatives (Alternative A and Alternative B), a visitor center and related facilities would be constructed in Denali State Park along the George Parks Highway; no facilities would be constructed in the Tokositna area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The center would provide opportunities for visitors to Denali National Park and Preserve to experience the natural and cultural resources of the south slope of the Alaskan Range. Trails would provide hiking opportunities for visitors who would not otherwise venture into the backcountry. The number of visitors to the national park, which has increased from 200,000 to over 500,000 annually since 1980, could quadruple within ten years after construction of the center. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: None of the land for the proposed project is federally owned; in order to implement the proposed action, an appropriate land use agreement or conveyance would have to be completed. Under the proposed action, some 150 to 189 acres of vegetation would be lost or disturbed; this loss would also be considered a loss of general black bear habitat. While it is not anticipated that any development alternative would adversely affect wildlife population numbers, there is concern that in localized backcountry areas the presence of constructed trails and their use by hikers could seasonally displace grizzly and black bears and possibly caribou.

AN - 36404580; 5782 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a resource management plan (RMP) to provides a comprehensive framework for managing mineral deposits on federal lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) located in Texas is proposed. The key management issue would involve the leasing and development of federal oil and gas resources in Texas. Three alternatives were considered in the draft EIS of August 1995, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would include a continuation of present resource allocation levels and management practices; oil and gas leases would continue to be issued with standard lease provisions as well as with surface resource protection stipulations required by executive orders, laws, regulations of practices. The Intensive Surface Protection Alternative (Alternative B, the preferred alternative) would place primary emphasis on protecting important environmental values through the use of additional leasing stipulations. The No Leasing Alternative (Alternative C) would remove federal oil and gas from availability for leasing and development. It would change management direction so that the issue is resolved in a manner that places highest priority on the preservation of the oil and gas resource and protection of associated surface resources. This final EIS, which is issued in abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses. The draft EIS has been reissued as a companion document. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Oil and gas leasing and development could benefit the state's economy. Employment, earnings, and tax impacts would result from development activities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, leasing and development activities would raise air quality concerns including dust and emissions associated with road and drill pad construction and drilling operations. The creation and release of concentrations of harmful gases (such as hydrogen sulfide) at drill sites could occur. The development of oil and gas resources could adversely affect surface and groundwater through surface erosion, the contamination of streams and aquifers, the production of brine waters, and the introduction of toxic substances into the environment. The construction of access roads, drill pads, and pipelines would result in the removal of vegetation and the loss of wildlife habitat. Cultural and paleontological resources could also be adversely affected. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

Preparation date: March 8, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BOOTSTRAP/CAPSTONE AND TARA OPEN-PIT GOLD MINE PROJECT, ELKO AND EUREKA COUNTIES, NEVADA. AN - 36402565; 5778 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of the Bootstrap/Capstone Mine and Tara Mine, located in Nevada is proposed. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The project would include re-opening the Bootstrap/Capstone Mine, the development of Tara Mine, the construction of two waste rock disposal areas, the construction of a heap leach facility, the construction of ancillary mine facilities, the upgrading of existing access roads in order to accomodate truck transportation of ore to the North Operations Area Mill Number 4 complex, and the reclamation of disturbed areas. The Agency's Preferred Alternative is Alternative B (leach ore would be transported to North Area Leach Facility for processing) and Alternative C-2 (off-site power would be used for the Bootstrap Project). Alternative A would include all components of the proposed action with the addition of backfilling the Bootstrap/Capstone pit with waste rock generated from the Tara pit. Alternative B would include ore processing at the north area leach facility. It would include all components of the proposed action except that in lieu of constructing and operating a heap leach facility at the Bootstrap Project site, leach grade ore would be hauled to Newmont's existing facilities. Alternative C would include an off-site power supply. It would include all components of the proposed action, but would eliminate use of diesel-generator sets for supplying electrical power to the project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Newmont's proposal would use its existing work force in conducting open-pit mining and ore processing operations on unpatented mining claims and adjacent fee lands within the Bootstrap Project area to produce gold from ore reserves contained in the Bootstrap/Capstone deposit and Tara deposit. The project would allow for the continuation of direct employment in the mining industry and secondary employment in the retail and service sectors in the study area. Income would be generated from wages paid by Newmont and property taxes and net proceeds of mining tax would be collected by local and state jurisdictions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of the proposed action would result in the relocation of waste rock and ore from the Bootstrap/Capstone and Tara pits to waste rock disposal facilities, heap leach pad, and tailings impoundment. Placement of the waste rock and ore at these facilities would modify the topography and landscape of the Bootstrap Project area. Approximately 1.13 million ounces of gold would be removed from this geologic resource. When exposed to oxygen and water, sulfide-bearing waste rock and ore could result in production of acid rock drainage; Newmont has proposed methods to encapsulate and monitor this rock material to minimize potential environmental impacts. The use of on-site power generation using diesel-powered generator sets in order to supply 3.5 megawatts of electrical power to the Bootstrap Project would generate particulate and gaseous emissions which would require the installation of emission control systems in order to meet State of Nevada ambient air quality standards. Potential adverse impacts to soil and watershed resources resulting from implementation of the proposed action would include loss of soil during salvage and replacement operations, sediment loss due to erosion, and reduction in productivity of soil material during the life of the operation. The proposed action would eliminate approximately 1,037 acres of vegetative cover in the Bootstrap Project area. Reclamation of the Bootstrap Project site would restore vegetation on all but approximately 264 acres of the mine area. The mine pits (264 acres) would not be revegetated. The adverse impact of the proposed action on social and economic values would include further stress on community service providers and housing in the area during the construction phase.

AN - 36410307; 5773 AB - PURPOSE: The leasing of land for oil and gas exploration and development in the Helena National Forest and the Elkhorn Mountain portion of the Deerlodge National Forest, located in Montana, is proposed. The 853,200-acre study area is located within all or part of three distinct mountain ranges: the Big Belts, the Elkhorns, and the Continental Divide of the Northern Rockies. The area contains many diverse habitats ranging from the Missouri River bottoms to alpine mountain peaks. Focal issues identified in the scoping process include the effects of leasing on big game; inventoried roadless areas and wilderness areas; biological diversity; threatened, endangered, and sensitive species; recreation opportunities and experience; cultural resources; socioeconomic conditions; and soil, air, and water. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 2), are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 7), which was developed in response to public concerns expressed following the release of the draft EIS, certain restrictions would be placed on oil and gas development in order to protect grizzly bear habitat. Of the 853,200 acres legally available for leasing, a no-surface-occupancy (NSO) stipulation would apply to 460,000 acres; a controlled-surface-use stipulation or a timing limitation would apply to 364,400 acres; and standard lease terms of the Bureau of Land Management would apply to 28,800 acres. In addition to protecting grizzly bear habitat, NSO stipulations would protect wild and scenic rivers, watersheds containing cutthroat trout populations, and sensitive soils from both minerals development and road construction. The estimated payroll for drilling four wildcat wells is $4.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Over the 15 year period that is considered in this final EIS, the projected lease revenues would be an estimated $8.0 million. Construction and drilling activities would provide temporary employment opportunities for the local work force. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Air pollutant emissions from gas-driven field engines and emergency gas flaring could be significant in the area. Soils, vegetation, and wildlife and livestock forage in the immediate drilling areas would be disturbed. Any development activity in a roadless area would compromise the area's wilderness character and adversely affect its future status as a designated wilderness area.

The progression and evolution of the step waves that will result from the transitions between high and low flow are estimated to aid in preparation for the release on the Colorado River. On the rising limb, the wave steepens and the increase from 10,000 to 40,000 cfs that takes 7.5 h at the dam will take only about 2 h at National Canyon, 181 mi downstream. The falling limb will stretch out over the entire study reach, taking about 39 h to fall back to 10,000 cfs at the dam and about 63 h to fall the same amount at Diamond Creek, 240 mi below the dam.

AN - 36403019; 5607 AB - PURPOSE: The leasing and development of oil and gas in the Beaverhead National Forest in southwestern Montana is proposed. Under the 1986 plan for the forest, some 1.64 million acres within the Beaverhead National Forest and 19,700 acres of the Deerlodge National Forest are available for oil and gas leasing; existing and proposed wilderness, certain planning areas, wilderness study areas, and stream segments eligible for wild status under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act would be unavailable for leasing. Focal issues addressed include the effects on water, soil, wildlife, roadless areas, recreation, and aesthetic resources. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 3), are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative 1), a 500-foot, no-surface-occupancy (NSO) buffer would be implemented on all lakes, roads, and perennial streams, and a 200-foot NSO buffer would be implemented for trails. Under this alternative only, the NSO stipulation would allow the construction of linear features such as roads, pipelines, and power lines. Some 503,400 acres of land would be legally unavailable; 588,500 acres would be available under standard lease terms; 380,300 acres would be available under a controlled-surface-use (CSU) or timing limitation; and 668,100 acres would be available with a NSO stipulation. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 7), national forest lands would be identified as being available for lease authorization; lands made available would be subject to supplemental lease stipulations designed to assure protection of surface resources. Stipulations would be applied to reduce the amount of land available under standard lease terms. The availability of lands for leasing would be as follows: 512,400 acres of land would be legally or administratively unavailable; 415,900 acres would be available under standard lease terms; 741,700 acres would be available under a CSU or timing limitation; and 479,300 acres would be available with a NSO stipulation. Special restrictions would be imposed on habitat areas for westslope cutthroat trout, grizzly bears, and other species; in addition, campgrounds, slopes over 60 percent, and rivers eligible for Wild and Scenic River designation would receive special protection. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Accruals to the U.S. Treasury would include revenues from lease bonus bids, annual lease rentals, and timber sales in areas where timber would be cleared for roads or well pads. Construction and drilling activities would provide temporary employment opportunities for the local work force. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would make 19 percent of the roadless area leasable under standard terms and 38 percent under CSU stipulations. Air pollutant emissions from gas-driven field engines and emergency gas flaring could be significant in the area. Soils, vegetation, and wildlife and livestock forage in the immediate drilling areas would be disturbed. Riparian areas and wetlands would be adversely affected by increased sediment loads and potential contaminant spills.

AN - 36411171; 5597 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a permit for copper mining activities in the Hillsboro Mining District, located in Sierra County, New Mexico, is proposed. The Copper Flat Project, which is about three miles southwest of the town of Hillsboro, was initially developed in 1982 by the Copper Flat Partnership, Ltd., but the mine operated for only a three-month period. In 1994, the Alta Gold Company purchased the mine site with the intention of developing the site by reusing some of the facilities abandoned in 1982. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action would involve expanding the existing open-pit mine, using existing buried foundations for building new concentrating facilities, expanding the waste rock disposal and tailings impoundment areas, and constructing a new tailings slurry pipeline. Electrical distribution lines, on-site water lines, and access roads would also be constructed or expanded; access and utility lines to the mine are currently in place. Most mining activities would take place on privately owned lands. Use of public lands would be required for the plant area, portions of three waste rock disposal areas, and the tailings impoundment. The project would use 537 acres of public lands and 566 acres of private lands; ore processing would require up to 2,000 gallons of groundwater per minute. Construction activities would begin sometime in 1996, and mining operations would commence 15 months thereafter and continue for 10 years. Following closure of the mine, reclamation would continue for three or four years. The project would produce roughly 280 tons of copper concentrate per day. The agency-preferred alternative would reduce the size of the open pit and require the applicant to mine a lower grade of copper ore. Under this alternative, 54 percent of the rock considered waste rock under the proposed action would be processed as ore. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The production of copper would provide jobs to area residents. The preferred alternative would significantly reduce the amount of waste rock generated by the project. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project operations would disturb approximately 179 acres of public lands and 690 acres of previously-disturbed public and private lands. Groundwater use would cause a drawdown of wells and spring in the project vicinity.

AN - 36402469; 5594 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for development and visitor use of Manzanar National Historic Site in Inyo County, California, is proposed. Manzanar was one of ten relocation centers established in western states during World War II to confine persons of Japanese descent residing on the west coast. These centers were created under Executive Order 9066, which authorized the Secretary of War to exclude citizens and aliens from Japan and other designated areas as a security measure against sabotage and espionage. The site is presently owned by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. There are three intact buildings on the site remaining from the center's operation: two small rock sentry posts and a large auditorium that is currently being used by the county as a maintenance facility. The proposed action would provide staffing and resource management in order to protect the site's historic and prehistoric features in perpetuity. Under the proposed action, the gridwork of the camp road system would be restored, some areas of dense tree growth would be thinned and cleared, the camp's perimeter fence would be reconstructed, and some of the rock gardens and ponds constructed by internees would be rehabilitated. The boundary of the camp would be increased by 30 acres in order to encompass additional historical resources associated with the camp. Historically significant orchards and ornamental plants would be retained. To enhance interpretation and visitor understanding of the camp experience, a barracks and watchtower would be reconstructed. Barracks blocks and significant structures throughout the camp would be marked to demonstrate the camp layout to visitors. The historic auditorium would be converted into an interpretive center. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, visitor understanding and appreciation of the camp's historic significance would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Thinning and clearing existing vegetation would result in some loss of wildlife habitat.

Preparation date: February 12, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TUCKER HILL PERLITE PROJECT, LAKE COUNTY, OREGON. AN - 36398997; 5584 AB - PURPOSE: The development by Atlas Perlite, Inc., (Atlas) of a 15- to 20-acre perlite quarry with an associated waste rock dump and access road on Tucker Hill, which is located approximately 35 miles northwest of the town of Lakeview, in Lake County, south central Oregon, is proposed. Perlite is used in the manufacture of ceiling tiles for building construction, as a filter aid, and for a variety of agricultural purposes, including potting soil. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative D), are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative A), the ore would be mined at Tucker Hill and hauled to Lakeview, where it would be crushed and sorted and shipped to markets in the northwest. A total of 37.7 acres would be disturbed, of which approximately 36 are administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The remaining two acres would be on private land. Atlas would operate the quarry for 10 years. The preferred alternative would be similar to the proposed action with the exception of stipulating that the waste rock would be hauled off Tucker Hill and deposited in the existing Lake County gravel pit, adjacent to Highway 31, where it would be used either as road maintenance material or by the county to aid in final reclamation when the pit was exhausted and closed out. This final EIS, which is issued in abbreviated format, includes corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comment and agency responses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would help meet the demand for products made from perlite in the northwest. The development of the Tucker Hill quarry would provide a close and relatively inexpensive source of perlite which could result in lower prices to consumers and in reduced use of fossil fuels needed for shipping. Some 18 direct and indirect jobs would be provided under the action alternatives, and some tax revenue increases would be experienced by local governments. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The action alternatives would adversely affect, in varying degrees, Native American traditional values related to plants, hunting, visual integrity, and religious uses. They could also adversely affect 14 cultural sites including two stacked stone features. Vegetation/soils and wildlife habitat would be permanently lost on 20 acres, and temporarily lost on 11.7 to 17.7 acres.

AN - 36402440; 5576 AB - PURPOSE: The change of the energy marketing methods used by the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) for the sale of long-term electrical capacity and energy from the Salt Lake City Area Integrated Projects (SLCAIPs) hydroelectric power plants is proposed. WAPA's mission is to sell and deliver excess electricity generated from power plants built as part of certain federal water projects. All of the power plants considered in this final EIS are operated by the Bureau of Reclamation, and most are located on the Upper Colorado River and its tributaries. The three major SLCAIP facilities that provide most of the power marketed by WAPA are the Glen Canyon Dam, Flaming Gorge Dam, and the Aspinal Unit. Power generated by SLCAIP facilities or purchased by WAPA from other sources is provided to WAPA customers under contracts. These contracts specify the amounts of capacity and energy that WAPA agrees to offer for long-term sale to its customers; these amounts constitute WAPA's commitment levels. Currently WAPA's sale commitments from the SLCAIP, including capacity and energy purchased from other sources, total approximately 1,200 megawatts (MW) of long-term firm capacity and 5,700 gigawatt-hours (GWH) of long-term firm energy. The commitment level was established in 1978 for the period through 1989. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under Alternative 1 (the preferred alternative), which would reflect the post-1989 commitment levels, some 1,449 MW of long-term firm capacity and 6,156 GWH of energy would be provided. Under Alternative 2, some 1,450 MW of capacity and 3,300 GWH of energy would be provided, thereby enabling customers to take most of their commitment during on-peak hours when power would be most available. Under Alternative 3 and Alternative 6, moderate levels of capacity (1,225 MW and 1,000 MW, respectively) and long-term firm energy (4,000 GWH and 4,750 GWH, respectively) would be provided. Under Alternative 4, which would assume that adverse water conditions would continue, some 550 MW of capacity and 3,300 GWH of energy would be provided. Under Alternative 5, some 625 MW of capacity and 5,475 GWH of energy would be provided. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The establishment of new guidelines for WAPA's power marketing program should provide long-term resource and contractual stability within the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: According to a model-based analysis of each alternative in relation to three sets of assumptions about water supply, each alternative would adversely affect the financial viability of WAPA's utility customers and the retail rates charged to end-users.

AN - 36398966; 5571 AB - PURPOSE: The reclamation of an existing uranium mill tailings pile by Atlas Corporation at its uranium mill site near Moab, Utah, is proposed. The mill ceased operating in 1984 and is being dismantled. The 10.5-million-ton, 130-acre mill tailings pile needs to be reclaimed for long-term disposal. Issues identified during the scoping process focus on the site's location on the Colorado River floodplain near the town of Moab and the Arches National Park. Contaminated materials are currently escaping the tailings pile at low rates, and tailings leachates are slowly diffusing downward into groundwater, some of which moves horizontally and enters the Colorado River. In addition, radioactive gas slowly escapes the tailings pile and enters the air. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, under which the NRC would make no licensing decision and Atlas would cease operations involving the management of the tailings (this is not considered a viable alternative), are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action would require an amendment to Atlas's license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The amendment would enable Atlas to stabilize the tailings pile for permanent disposal in its current location at the Moab site, place the site under the long-term custodial care of the federal government, and prepare the site for closure. Under the proposal, the side slopes would be reduced to 30 percent or less to minimize the effects of erosion and possible earthquakes. Also, an earth and rock cover system would be installed over the pile to minimize radon escape, infiltration of rain water into the tailings, infiltration of tailings contaminants into groundwater, and tailings erosion potentially caused by surface runoff and flooding of the Colorado River and a nearby ephemeral channel known as Moab Wash. Earth and cover materials would be obtained from several possible borrow sites nearby. Following reclamation, future commercial reuse of roughly half of the site would be precluded. The estimated costs of the proposed action range from $11.0 million to $17.0 million. An alternative site located 18 miles northwest of the town of Moab is also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the contaminated material at the site would be stabilized and solidified, which would substantially reduce risks to the environment and to human health. The proposed reclamation would minimize the risks from these contamination routes of contaminated material tailings and radioactive gas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: After reclamation, tailings leachates would continue to enter the Colorado River but at a much slower rate than currently; these leachates would have a slight adverse effect on aquatic biota.

Preparation date: February 2, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - AMERICAN RIVER WATER RESOURCES INVESTIGATION; EL DORADO, PLACER, SACRAMENTO, SAN JOAQUIN, AND SUTTER COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36410230; 5574 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water resources management plan to increase the water supply in portions of five counties in California's Central Valley is proposed. The study area, which covers approximately 3,350 square miles, draws its water from extensive groundwater aquifers as well as the American, Bear, Calaveras, Consumnes, Feather, Mokelumne, Sacramento, San Joaquin, and Stanislaus rivers. According to a water demand model, the area's demand cannot be satisfied from existing sources and the area requires 521,000 additional acre feet of water per year to stabilize groundwater storage. Portions of the groundwater system are currently in overdraft. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The two action alternatives would increase water supplies through conservation, reclamation, and new water facilities. The Conjunctive Use Alternative would vary the mix of surface water and groundwater used each year to meet water demands. In wet years, surface water use would be increased and groundwater pumping reduced, and in dry years the pattern would be reversed. To maximize surface water use in wet years, increased surface water diversion and expanded distribution facilities would be needed. Water could be diverted from the American River at Lake Nakoma or the Sacramento River near Freeport, below the confluence with the American River, for groundwater recharge in southern Sacramento County and San Joaquin County. In addition, well capacity and groundwater distribution facilities would be increased to accommodate increased pumping during dry years. The Auburn Dam Alternative would contain all the features of the Conjunctive Dam Alternative plus additional surface water storage. This alternative would involve the construction of a new dam on the American River at Auburn. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Either of the action alternatives would enable the area to meet its projected water demand and would prevent the development of serious water quality problems and the possible dewatering of some local wells. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dam and reservoir development and operation would displace sensitive habitats and vegetation communities and would alter water temperature and aquatic habitat downstream. Acid mine drainage concentration levels would increase under both alternatives. Dam construction would adversely affect the eligibility of the North and Middle forks of the American River as wild and scenic rivers.

Floods are expected to suspend sand moved to the river bottom by lower flows and deposit it along river banks where it will be above water after the flood recedes. As a result, the limited sand resources can be used to preserve habitat for plants and wildlife and for use by recreationists. A controlled flood is planned for late March 1996 to provide data for science-based decision making.

AN - 36402405; 5572 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a permit for the development of an open-pit gold mine and a processing facility in Lander County in northcentral Nevada is proposed. The project area consists of unpatented mining claims on public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM); the site is located within Crescent Valley, south of Battle Mountain. The proposed site would be the fourth mining operation in the area to be operated by Cortez Gold Mines; the site is known as the Pipeline deposit, named for the presence of a nearby pipeline. All claims affected by the proposed operation are controlled by the applicant through direct ownership or various lease arrangements. The proposed action would include developing a new open pit mine with an associated dewatering system and waste rock dump; constructing a new combined heap leach/tailings impoundment facility; and constructing a new processing facility capable of handling 5,000 tons a day and complete with shops, warehouses, and other support facilities. The new mine and processing plant would operate for twelve years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The production of gold would boost the local, regional, and national economies and provide jobs to area residents. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project operations would disturb approximately 1,827 acres of land; the open pit by itself would disturb 235 acres. Acid rock drainage and the release of metals and other contaminants would degrade water quality. Air quality and visual resources would be moderately degraded by the proposed mining operation.

AN - 36410166; 5560 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of tailings and waste rock storage areas to enable continued copper mining activities at the Cyprus Bagdad Copper Corporation's mine in Bagdad, Yavapai County, Arizona, is proposed. The site is located in west-central Arizona, approximately 50 miles west of Prescott, and approximately 100 miles northwest of Phoenix. Existing facilities include two tailings facilities (Mulholland and Mammoth tailings ponds), an open pit, a mill and solvent extraction-electrowinning plant, and waste rock disposal on private lands. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action (the preferred alternative) would include the development of Upper Mammoth tailings facility, the expansion of the South waste rock disposal area, and the continued excavation of the open pit. It would involve approximately 320 acres of public surface lands under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management, and extend the life of the mine to 35 years. Total disturbance associated with the proposed action is estimated at 2,000 acres. The No Action Alternative would consist of continued mining operations on private lands for six years, including expanding the existing Mammoth tailings pond, expanding the open pit, and disposing of waste rock on private lands, followed by closure. No new disturbance would occur on public lands with the No Action Alternative, and the mine would proceed with reclamation and closure procedures in six years. This final EIS, which is issued in abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft EIS, which has been reissued as a companion document. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would satisfy two underlying needs: copper production and economic support. Expansion activities would provide a short-term increase in employment, as well as preserve jobs for 520 mine employees beyond six years. Additional recoverable copper made available by the proposed action would total approximately 3.5 million tons. Reclamation of existing tailings at the neighboring Kimberley mine would increase by 16 million to 18 million tons. Estimated additional revenues realized from extending then life of the mine would total approximately $266 million. The proposed action would be in conformance with current land use and transportation plans. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in disturbance of 1,565 acres of native soil, with associated loss of soil productivity and wildlife habitat; dewatering effects on the aquifer in the vicinity of the open pit; potential adverse impacts on three historic properties identified on the project site; potential increases in acidic waste generation and noise levels; the temporary loss of grazing resources; and the degradation of visual quality from certain vantage points.

AN - 36385521; 5543 AB - PURPOSE: The development of Tumacacori National Historical Park, including constructing visitor facilities and services, increasing staffing, and implementing resource management strategies, in Santa Cruz County, Arizona, is proposed. The park is located 18 miles north of Nogales and the U.S.-Mexico border, and 43 miles south of Tucson. In 1908, the park was established as a national monument in order to preserve an ancient Spanish mission on the grounds; in 1990, Congress changed the designation of the park to a national historical park and combined the existing monument with the ruins of two other nearby Spanish colonial sites (Calabazas and Guevavi). Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of July 1993. This draft supplement to the draft EIS considers a new proposed action (Alternative 4) which was developed in response to public concerns about staff housing maintenance facilities, and adobe preservation. Under Alternative 4, the park would be managed to preserve, fully interpret, and maintain the cultural resources at all three sites; to maintain and enhance natural resources; and to develop facilities to accommodate visitor services and National Park Service administrative functions. The three sites would eventually be linked along the mission trail, the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historical Trail. Boundaries at two of the sites would be adjusted to accommodate an increase in visitors, and fee acquisition of selected tracts of private tracts would be pursued. Housing and maintenance facilities located on the southeast corner of the Tumacacori unit would be retained temporarily, but these facilities would eventually be relocated further to the east on newly acquired lands. Facilities at Calabazas would include a combination residence/visitor contact station, visitor parking, an interpretive trail, and a small maintenance shop. Little development would occur in Guevavi. The estimated development costs are $1.34 million, and the estimated operating costs are $755,000 annually. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the cultural resource values of the area would be preserved and visitor experiences enhanced as a result of the proposed development. The proposed staff increases would help to ensure the long-term protection of the site's unique resource values. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, some visual, soil, and vegetative resources would be adversely affected in the short term.

AN - 36410197; 5573 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an open pit gold and silver mine and associated processing facilities by the applicant, Talapoosa Mining, Inc., located in Lyon County in west-central Nevada, is proposed. The project site, which is located three miles northwest of the unincorporated area of Silver Springs, occupies 2,673 acres within an existing mining district on the eastern expansion of the Virginia Range. Most of the operations would occur on 2,340 acres of public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM); the remaining 333 acres is private land owned by the applicant. Under the applicant's proposal, current ore reserves would be mined over a period of 7 to 10 years. The life of the mine would depend on gold prices and other variables. Operations would consist of an open-pit mine, overburden and interburden disposal areas, ore stockpiles, a valley fill leach pad, process solution ponds, a processing plant, water treatment and supply facilities, and administration and support facilities. Three open pits would be mined on roughly 20- to 30-foot benches. Pit walls would have angles ranging from 40 degrees to 55 degrees. Under current projections, roughly 30 million to 42 million tons of ore-grade material would be recovered from these pits, and 90 million tons of overburden and interburden would be disposed of in two storage areas. One disposal area would be constructed to a height of 380 feet, and the other would be 500 feet high. Both the leach pads and solution ponds would be equipped with leak detection systems. Within the containment area, crushed ore would be mixed with lime, cement, and dilute cyanide before being moved by conveyor to the leach pad. After mining has been completed, the heap leach would be detoxified and closed, a safety berm and warning signs would be established around the pit perimeter, disturbed areas would be regraded and revegetated, and the area would be monitored. The only other alternative considered in this draft EIS is the No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would benefit the local economy, supporting 336 direct and indirect jobs and increasing local tax revenues by roughly $969,000. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would disturb 596 acres of native soils and vegetation; 147 acres associated with the open pits would be permanently damaged and could not be revegetated. Mining activities would be disruptive to wildlife and disturb habitat for the prairie falcon, Townsend's big-eared bat, the small-foot myotis bats, and burrowing owls. Up to 450 million gallons of water would be removed from the ground and used for processing, significantly affecting the water table.

AN - 36407355; 5542 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a system operating strategy and a regional forum for the Columbia River system in order to allow interested parties other than federal agencies a role in making decisions involving power distribution and allocation within the region is proposed. The Bonneville Power Administration markets power generated from 12 hydro projects operated by the Army Corps of Engineers and two projects operated by the Bureau of Reclamation. This programmatic review was initiated in response to demands by Indian tribes and fish and wildlife agencies for consultation on matters involving system planning and operations; another factor was the recent designation of the Snake River sockeye salmon as an endangered species and the chinook salmon as a threatened species. Seven alternatives are considered in this final EIS in response to the salmon stocks issue, including operations prior to the Endangered Species Act designation; current system operations, including efforts to provide additional anadromous fish flows; flow augmentation to improve the chances of fish survival; the management of water levels at upstream storage projects to keep the reservoirs as full as possible for as long as possible; the drawdown of the reservoirs at the four projects on the lower Snake River to near natural river elevations in order to increase the velocity of water through the reservoir; a less extensive drawdown of the reservoirs along the lower Snake River; and setting spring and summer fish flow targets based on storage content and other factors (the preferred alternative). Under the preferred alternative, drawdowns would not exceed minimum operating pool on the lower Snake River. In high flow years, projects would spill water and fewer fish would be transported; in low flow years there would be less spill and more transport. This final EIS also proposes technical revisions to the Canadian Entitlement Allocation Agreements, and to renegotiate and renew the Pacific Northwest Coordination Agreement; current agreements are scheduled to expire in 1998 and 2003, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: This programmatic review is an effort to develop comprehensive, multipurpose management of the Columbia River system, a management method that would be responsive to public concerns as well as to the demands for energy production and natural resources protection. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Introducing flow improvements to benefit migrating anadromous fish would diminish the effectiveness of the system for traditional river uses. Flow augmentation measures would require storing water in the winter, a time when it would ordinarily be used to generate electricity. A loss in power-generating efficiency would increase the costs of meeting electrical demand. Keeping upstream storage sites as full as possible would detract from downstream sites, which are popular with recreationists. Reservoir drawdowns would have adverse impacts on resident fish, disrupting their habitat, spawning, and food supply; drawdowns would also reduce the amount of water available for irrigation.

Preparation date: January 19, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NEVADA TEST SITE AND OFF-SITE LOCATIONS, CHURCHILL AND NYE COUNTIES, NEVADA. AN - 36398710; 5592 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a resource management plan for the Nevada Test Site (NTS) and related facilities used for nuclear weapons testing and waste storage in southern Nevada is proposed. The NTS consists of 1,350 square miles of public lands in Nye County, Nevada; these lands were used for underground nuclear testing until October 1992 when a moratorium on such tests was put in place. Presently the primary mission of the NTS is to maintain a readiness to conduct tests and, in an unlikely circumstance, to conduct tests if so directed by the President. The NTS serves a secondary role as a disposal site for low-level waste and a storage site for a limited amount of transuranic mixed waste. Related facilities in southern Nevada include the Tonopah Test Range and the Central Nevada Test Area, also in Nye County; the Project Shoal Area in Churchill County; and portions the Nellis Air Force Range Complex. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under Alternative 1, current operations in all facilities would be continued indefinitely. Under Alternative 2, activities and operations in the NTS would be discontinued. Only those environmental monitoring and security functions necessary for human health and safety would be maintained. Under Alternative 3, uses of the NTS for waste management and testing new environmental technologies would be expanded. Under Alternative 4, most defense-related activities at the NTS would be discontinued and certain portions of the NTS would be returned to the public domain for purposes of public education and recreation. All alternatives, except Alternative 2, would involve using some NTS lands as well as three sites in southern Nevada for development of an expanded solar enterprise zone. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A redefinition of the land uses and mission priorities of the NTS would respond to changes in nuclear testing policies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: A continuation of underground nuclear tests, if directed by the President, would result in the release of large quantities of radioactivity into the subsurface and the formation of subsidence craters as well as the generation of ground motion that could be felt outside the bounds of the NTS. Any surface activities planned for the NTS could result in the disruption of desert tortoise habitat. The impact from waste management activities would be a result of transporting nuclear waste from other sites to the NTS. Most of the postulated injuries and fatalities would be a result of routine normal traffic accidents and not a result of exposure to the transported waste.

Preparation date: January 19, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FERN LAKE PETITION EVALUATION DOCUMENT, CLAIBORNE COUNTY, TENNESSEE. AN - 36412545; 5537 AB - PURPOSE: The suitability of certain land for surface coal mining operations in the Little Yellow Creek watershed in Claiborne County, Tennessee, is proposed. A petition was filed by the City of Middlesborough, Kentucky, and the National Parks and Conservation Association that the lands be declared unsuitable. The 5.9-square-mile area is located along Little Yellow Creek, which drains into Fern Lake, a 110-acre public water supply lake for Middlesborough, Kentucky. The petition alleges that the mining of these lands would disturb a fragile ecosystem, reduce the availability of a public water supply, and be incompatible with the local land use plans and management plan for the nearby Cumberland Gap National Historic Park. Three alternatives available to the Office of Surface Mining (OSM) are considered in this draft EIS, including granting the petition and designating the entire area as unsuitable for coal mining operations (Alternative 1); denying the petition and permitting coal mining to occur (Alternative 2); and designating portions of the petition as unsuitable for certain types of coal mining operations (Alternative 3). Five sub-alternatives are associated with a partial designation, including disallowing surface extraction but allowing underground extraction anywhere in the petition area or only in those area where portals are not visible from the Pinnacle overlook; disallowing any surface extraction that would adversely affect the long-range productivity of the city water supply; restricting the amount of surface disturbance that could occur at any one time; and allowing limited amounts of surface mining while implementing additional controls to protect the watershed. A No Action Alternative is not under consideration because it would not adequately address the petition filed by the City of Middlesborough and the National Parks and Conservation Association; the effects of a No Action Alternative would be similar to the effects of Alternative 2. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Granting the petition would have a stimulative effect on the local economy, but denying the petition would help to protect riparian areas and the public water supply. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The mining of the area would result in reduced water quality during construction of access roads and sediment basins; the loss of soil productivity during stockpiling and early stages of reclamation; the removal of timber and wildlife habitat in active mining areas; adverse effects on visual quality; noise and vibration from blasting and heavy machinery; adverse subsidence impacts associated with underground mining; a reduced population of blackside dace; increased water treatment costs, health screenings, and illnesses; increased sedimentation in Little Yellow Creek and Fern Lake; and reduced water availability in the Fern Lake watershed.

AN - 36409791; 5538 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a pumped storage hydroelectric project, located five miles west of the city of Las Vegas in Clark County, Nevada, is proposed. The project would be a self-contained, off-stream project that would transfer water back and forth from one reservoir to another in order to store or generate energy. The project, to be constructed by Blue Diamond Power Partners, would have an installed generating capacity of 200 megawatts (MW). The primary project facilities, including reservoirs, penstock, and powerhouse, would be new. The project would include a 31-acre upper reservoir located near the crest of Blue Diamond Hill, with a top dam elevation of 4,828 feet above mean sea level; a lower reservoir located near the foot of Blue Diamond Hill, with a surface area of about 32 acres and a top dam elevation of 3,320 feet; an approximately 1,137-foot-long, 12-foot-wide, concrete-lined inclined shaft; a 1,176-foot-long, 12-foot-wide tunnel connecting with a 12-foot-wide penstock that would be installed in a trench and extend to an underground powerhouse which would contain two 100-MW reversible pump turbine units; two eight-foot-diameter tailrace pipes extending about 100 feet from the powerhouse to the afterbay; a control building and substation located near the afterbay; a 2.2-mile-long, 138-kilovolt transmission line that would be routed eastward to connect with a Nevada Power Company transmission line; an approximately two-mile-long, 12-inch-wide water pipeline; and project access roads. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would satisfy the immediate electric power needs of the Las Vegas area and reduce the amount of power purchased from outside sources by the Nevada Power Company. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would permanently alter 182 acres of public lands and commit those lands to energy production and transmission. That acreage would include about 104 acres of creosote bush scrub habitat; its value to wildlife would be lost. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Power Act of 1920, as amended (16 U.S.C. 791(a) et seq.).

AN - 36399533; 5528 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the training facilities and procedures at the Marine Corps Air Station Yuma in Yuma, Arizona, is proposed. The training complex includes airspace as well as lands within the Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range in Arizona and the Chocolate Mountain Aerial Bombing and Gunnery Range in California. These areas comprise more than 1,900 square miles of lands that have been employed as aerial gunnery and bombing training areas since they were established during the World War II period. The Marine Corps shares management of the Goldwater Range and its airspace with four other federal agencies. The complex is the only location available to and operated by the Marine Corps where the primary mission is to provide the full spectrum of support for Marine Corps tactical aviation training. Fourteen sets of alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. Three sets of alternatives would affect the airspace over the complex, restricting some overflights of the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge but allowing overflights for 60 days per year and providing additional restricted airspace over the Chocolate Mountain Range. Five sets of alternatives would affect the Goldwater Range, adding new target scenarios and a new runway, relocating the parachute drop zone for cargo, and consolidating ground support areas. Six alternatives would affect the Chocolate Mountain Range, increasing the net explosive weight limits for bombs, authorizing night ordnance delivery training, developing additional new targets, and relocating some ground support facilities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed improvements to the training facilities would improve the Marine Corps' capabilities for anti-air warfare, offensive air support, assault support, aerial reconnaissance, electronic warfare, and control of aircraft and missiles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased levels of aerial training and ordnance use would expose bighorn sheep and other wildlife to high levels of noise and vibration. Additional ordnance use would also further contaminate the soil and cause soil erosion and delivery of sediment to streams.

Surface-water samples were collected from irrigation drains, ponds and streams in the Sharp Nose Draw and Mill Creek drainage areas, and from the Little Wind River. These samples were analyzed for selenium and mercury, as well as other selected inorganic constituents. Of the 13 samples collected in May, 6 had selenium concentrations greater than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) chronic aquatic-life criterion of 5 mg/L (micrograms per liter) and one exceeded the aquatic-life acute criteria of 20 mg/Lake Samples with selenium concentrations exceeding aquatic criteria were collected from Sharp Nose Draw and the Mill Creek drainage areas. Selenium concentrations in all 12 samples collected in August were less than the laboratory minimum reporting level of 5 mg/Lake The large selenium concentrations were associated with large dissolved solids concentrations that occur prior to the irrigation season when accumulated salts are flushed to drainages through ground water and natural precipitation. Mercury concentrations were less than the laboratory minimum reporting level of 0.1 mg/L for all samples except one collected in May that had a concentration of 0.3 mg/Lake This concentration was larger than the aquatic-life chronic criterion of 0.012 mg/L established by the USEPA, but less than the aquatic-life acute criterion of 2.4 mg/L for mercury established by the USEPA.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-13 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Numerical analysis of ground-water flow and salinity in the Ewa area, Oahu, Hawaii AN - 16252880; 4237298 AB - The coastal plain in the Ewa area of southwestern Oahu, Hawaii, is part of a larger, nearly continuous sedimentary coastal plain along Oahu's southern coast. The coastal sediments are collectively known as caprock because they impede the free discharge of ground water from the underlying volcanic aquifers. The caprock is a layered sedimentary system consisting of interbedded marine and terrestrial sediments of both high and low permeability. Before sugarcane cultivation eneded in late 1994, shallow ground water from the upper limestone unit, which is about 50 to 200 feet thick, was used primarily for irrigation of sugarcane. A cross-sectional ground-water flow and transport model was used to evaluate the hydrogeologic controls on the regional flow system in the Ewa area. Controls considered were: (1) overall caprock hydraulic conductivity, (2) stratigraphic variations of hydraulic conductivity in the caprock, and (3) recharge. In addition, the effects of a marina excavation were evaluated. Within the caprock, variations in hydraulic conductivity, caused by caprock stratigraphy or discontinuities of the stratigraphic units, are a major control on the direction of ground-water flow and the distribution of water levals and salinity. Model results also show that a reduction of recharge will result in increased salinity throughout the caprock with the greatest change in the upper limestone layer. In addition, the model indicates that excavation of an ocean marina will lower water levels in the upper limestone layter. Results of cross-sectional modeling confirm the general ground-water flow pattern that would be expected in the layered sedimentary system in the Ewa caprock. Ground-water flow is: (1) predominantly upward in the low-permeability sedimentary units, and (2) predominantly horizontal in the high-permeability sedimentary units.

Ground water is the predominant source of water for commercial, industrial, and domestic uses on the peninsula. Mean daily water use in an oil, gas, and chemical processing area north of Kenai is more than 3.5 million gallons. Unconsolidated sediments of glacial and fluvial origin are the most productive aquifers. In the upper (northwestern) peninsula, almost all water used is withdrawn from unconsolidated sediments, which may be as thick as 750 feet. In the lower peninsula, unconsolidated sediments are thinner and are absent on many hills. Water supplies in the lower peninsula are obtained from unconsolidated sediments and bedrock, and a public-water supply in parts of Homer is obtained from Bridge Creek. Throughout the peninsula, ground-water flow occurs primarily as localized flow controlled by permeability of aquifer materials and surface topography. The concentration of constituents analyzed in water from 312 wells indicated that the chemical quality of ground water for human consumption varies from marginal to excellent. Even though the median concentration of dissolved solids is low (152 milligrams per liter), much of the ground water on the peninsula does not meet water-quality regulations for public drinking water established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). About 8 percent of wells sampled yielded water having concentrations of dissolved arsenic that exceeded the USEPA primary maximum contaminant level of 50 micrograms per liter. Concentrations of dissolved arsenic were as great as 94 micrograms per liter. Forty-six percent of wells sampled yielded water having concentrations of dissolved iron greater than the USEPA secondary maximum contaminant level of 300 micrograms per liter. Unconsolidated sediments generally yield water having calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate as its predominant ions. In some areas, ground water at depths greater than a few hundred feet may be naturally too salty for human consumption. The leaking and spilling of fuel and chemical products and the disposal of industrial wastes has degraded the quality of ground water at numerous sites.

A cooperative study between the city of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and the U.S. Geological Survey was started in March 1992 to assess the water quality and water quantity of the ground-water resource. This report summarizes selected hydrogeologic data collected from October 1992 through March 1996. Information collected includes water quality (major ions, nutrients, and pesticides), ground-water levels, multiprobe-instrument (water levels, specific conductance, pH, water temperature, and dissolved oxygen monitored at 15-, 30-, or 60-minute intervals), well information (location, casing type, screen interval, and depth), and geophysical seismic-refraction and seismic-reflection data (estimated depth to bedrock and alluvial thickness along the Cedar River). Geologic, hydrologic, and water-quality data were collected from domestic, municipal, observation, and industrial wells and the Cedar River. Well-construction data for more than 300 wells in the Cedar Rapids area in Benton and Linn Counties, Iowa, were compiled primarily from records on file with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Geologic Survey Burea (Iowa City).

Wildwood Water Utility has injected ground water for public-supply storage since 1967 and in 1992 had four injection wells. The storage and recovery program began as a way to ensure an adequate supply of water for the summer tourist season. From 1967 through 1992 about 3.8 billion gallons was injected and about 3.3 billion gallons (about 85 percent of the injected water) was recovered. An electric company in Cape May County has used ground water for industrial-supply storage since 1965 and in 1992 had one injection well. The purpose of the storage and recovery program is to prevent saltwater encroachment and to ensure sufficient supply during times of peak demand. From 1967 through 1988 the company injected 100.0 million gallons and withdrew 60.6 million gallons, or about 61 percent of the injected water. JF - USGS BRANCH OF INFORMATION SERVICES. 29 pp. 1996.

The purpose of this report is to present information to assess the present (1992-95) conditions and possible future changes in the distribution and magnitude of atrazine concentrations, loads, and yields spatially, temporally, and in relation to hydrologic conditions and land-use characteristics. A network of 11 stream-monitoring and sample-collection sites was established within the basin. Streamwater samples were collected during a wide range of hydrologic conditions throughout the study. Nearly 5,000 samples were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for triazine herbicide concentrations. Daily mean triazine herbicide concentrations were calculated for all sampling sites and subsequently used to estimate daily mean atrazine concentrations with a linear-regression relation between ELISA-derived triazine concentrations and atrazine concentrations determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry for 141 dual-analyzed surface-water samples.

The computer model provides a technical basis for evaluating the effects of alternative patterns of operation of the Raritan River Basin water-supply system during extended periods of below-average precipitation. The computer model is a continuity-accounting model consisting of a series of interconnected nodes. At each node, the inflow volume, outflow volume, and change in storage are determined and recorded for each month. The model runs with a given set of operating rules and water-use requirements including releases, pumpages, and diversions. The model can be used to assess the hypothetical performance of the Raritan River Basin water-supply system in past years under alternative sets of operating rules. It also can be used to forecast the likelihood of specified outcomes, such as the depletion of reservoir contents below a specified threshold or of streamflows below statutory minimum passing flows, for a period of up to 12 months. The model was constructed on the basis of current reservoir capacities and the natural, unregulated monthly runoff values recorded at U.S. Geological Survey streamflow-gaging stations in the basin.

This report presents a description of the study area, selection of reservoirs sample-collection methods, sample preparation, laboratory methods, herbicide, nutrient, and quality-assurance data, and analytical results. Reservoir sites were sampled in 1992 - during early spring before application of herbicides, during the first major runoff after application of herbicides and after significant flushing of the reservoir during late summer, and during early fall. In 1993, samples were collected during early winter, late winter, and midsummer and during September following the 1993 flood. During August 1992, water temperature and dissolved-oxygen profiles were obtained from 17 selected reservoirs to investigate the effect of stratification on herbicide concentrations. Samples were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry for 11 herbicides and 6 metabolites and by solid-phase extraction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for alachlor ethane sulfonic acid. The data from the reservoir study have been useful in determining the occurrence and temporal distribution of selected herbicides and their metabolites in outflow from selected reservoirs in the upper Midwest. The reservoir study also provided data to determine if the persistence of large concentrations of herbicides in reservoir outflow can be quantified on the basis of reservoir and drainage-basin characteristics, water and land use, herbicide use, and climate.

Debris flows and deposits of noneruptive origin, in addition to those associated with eruptive activity (lava flows, pyroclastic flows, and ash fall), inundate the fans and channels and can endanger people or property on the flanks of the mountain. This study evaluates the source and characteristics of historical noneruptive debris flows in the vicinity of Mount Shasta. At least 70 debris flows of noneruptive origin that occurred during the last 1,000 years have been identified in various stream channels on Mount Shasta. Of the four areas around the mountain, the most active are the McCloud River and The Whaleback-Ash Creek Butte depression; the Sacramento River area is the least active. Between 1900 and 1985, 37 debris flows occurred on different streams, with an average interval of 2.3 years between flows. Since 1900, Mud Creek (nine flows) and Whitney Creek (six flows) have been the most active channels. The path followed by a debris flow is not always at the lowest point in the channel, and the extent of downstream movement depends on the size of the flow. Former channels are inundated by the new flows and deposits, and new channels are eroded. In time, most of the entire channel between valley walls is subject to reworking. Most debris-flow deposits ranged in thickness from 0.4 to 2.5 meters. Thickness tends to decrease in a downstream direction. The deposits are generally of a convex shape, highest in the middle and lowest near the original valley wall. The ratio of water to solids in the slurry-sediment mixture of debris flows averages 68 percent by volume. JF - USGS BRANCH OF INFORMATION SERVICES. 27 pp. 1996.

The data were collected to establish the water quality of the Ohio River and to use in assessing the proposed effects of hydropower development on the water quality of the Ohio River. Water quality was determined by a combination of repeated synoptic field measurements, continuous-record monitoring, and laboratory analyses. Synoptic measurements were made along a longitudinal transect with 18 mid-channel sampling sites; cross-sectional transects of water-quality measurements were made at 5 of these sites. Water-quality measurements also were made at two sites located on the back-channel (Ohio) side of Browns Island. At each longitudinal-transect and back-channel sampling site, measurements were made of specific conductance, pH, water temperature, and dissolved oxygen concentration. Longitudinal-transect and back-channel stations were sampled at four depths (at the surface, about 3.3 feet below the surface, middle of the water column, and near the bottom of the river). Cross-sectional transects consisted of three to four detailed vertical profiles of the same characteristics. Water samples were collected from three depths at the mid-channel vertical profile in each cross-sectional transect and were analyzed for concentrations of phytoplankton photosynthetic pigments chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. Estimates of the depth of light penetration (Secchi-disk transparency) were made at pigment-sampling locations whenever light and river-surface conditions were appropriate. Synoptic sampling usually was completed in 12 hours or less and was repeated 10 times from May through October 1993. Continuous-record monitoring of water quality consisted of hourly measurements of specific conductance, pH, water temperature, and dissolved oxygen concentration, made at a depth of 6.6 feet upstream and downstream of New Cumberland Dam. Continuous monitors were operated from May through October 1993. JF - USGS BRANCH OF INFORMATION SERVICES. 71 pp. 1996.

The simulated water levels are compared with the land-surface elevation data to determine the height of the water surface above or below land surface for the area of interest. Finally, the hydroperiod is determined for established time periods using criteria specified by the user. The program application requires the use of geographic information system software (ARC /INFO), including the TIN and GRID subsystems of the software. The application consists of an ANSI compatible C program to translate groundwater data output from the U.S. Geological Survey modular three-dimensional, finite-difference, ground-water flow model (MODFLOW) into a format that can be used as input for the geographic information system programs (AML's). The application uses ARC/INFO AML programs and ARC/INFO menu interface programs to create digital spatial data layers of the land surface and water surface and to determine the hydroperiod. The technique can be used to evaluate and manage wetlands hydrology. JF - USGS BRANCH OF INFORMATION SERVICES. 47 pp. 1996.

Most of the islands are part of low-lying coral atolls within the Western, Namonuito, Hall, and Mortlock Island Groups. A total of 648 wells were located and sampled for temperature and specific conductance. A few miscellaneous sites such as taro patches also were sampled. The nitrate concentration was determined for 308 water samples. To develop a relation between specific conductance and chloride concentration, the chloride concentration was determined for 63 water samples. In addition, 21 water samples were analyzed for major and trace constituent ion concentrations. Chloride and nitrate are the primary constituents affecting the potability of ground water in the inhabited outer islands of Chuuk State. The source of chloride in ground water is seawater, whereas nitrate is derived from plant and animal waste materials. The chloride concentrations in many well waters exceed the World Health Organization guideline for drinking water, particularly in wells near the shoreline or on small islands. In addition, the nitrate concentrations in some well waters exceeded the World Health Organization guideline for drinking water.

Concentrations of nitrate greater than the 0.05 mg/L reporting limit were found in 69.1 percent of the water samples, and nitrate concentrations exceeded the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency maximum contaminant limit of 10 mg/L in 9.6 percent of the 249 samples analyzed for nitrate. Pesticides or pesticide metabolites were detected in 72.4 percent of the 210 pesticide analyses, and 28 different compounds were found. Concentrations of multiple pesticide compounds above analytical reporting limits were found in water from about 60 percent of the wells sampled. Although pesticides were frequently detected, only one sample had a pesticide concentration that exceeded a maximum contaminant level for drinking water. The most frequently detected compounds, however, were pesticide metabolites for which maximum contaminant levels have not yet been established. Volatile organic compounds were detected in 13.5 percent of the 155 samples analyzed for these compounds. Only one sample had concentrations of volatile organic compounds that exceeded a maximum contaminant level for drinking water. JF - USGS BRANCH OF INFORMATION SERVICES. 47 pp. 1996.

These data were collected to determine the occurrence and distribution of organochlorine compounds and trace elements in the study unit. Ancillary data included are land-use categories by percentage of the sampling-site basins and the size, gender, and age of the individual fish collected for this study. Concentrations of 28 organochlorine compounds in composited whole fish samples were measured at 32 sites, and concentrations of 22 trace elements in composited fish liver samples were measured at 14 of the 32 sites. Most frequently detected organochlorines were DDT related compounds at 31 sites, total PCBs at 28 sites, and chlordane related compounds at 25 sites. Concentrations of total PCBs in fish tissue were generally higher at the large river sites than at the smaller tributary sites. Concentrations of chlordane-related compounds in fish tissue were higher at sites from more urbanized basins than at sites from predominately agriculture and forested basins. Concentrations of the DDT related compounds were undifferentiated among sites comprising different land uses. Trace elements detected at all 14 sites included boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, and zinc. Trace elements detected at 10 or more sites included arsenic, mercury, silver, strontium, and vanadium. Antimony, beryllium, and uranium were not detected at any site.

Basin-level characterization of habitat is one component of the spatially hierarchial approach to stream habitat description adopted by the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Quality Assessment Program. The Central Nebraska Basins study unit is about 78,000 km super(2) in area and includes the Loup and Elkhorn River Basins as well as basins of smaller tributaries to the Platte River. Stream-basin habitat characteristics associated with nine fixed-sampling stations were computed from conventional and digital map data. Geographic information systems software was the principal analytical tool used. Basin characterizations generally were limited to only that part of each stream basin contained within the study unit. Habitat characteristics analyzed included basin size and shape, elevation, relief, drainage network characteristics, geology, physiography, soils, land use and cover, climate, runoff, and stream flow characteristics. The report presents a tabular summary of the basin-level habitat characteristics determined for the nine selected stream basins. JF - USGS BRANCH OF INFORMATION SERVICES. 25 pp. 1996.

In 1992, Florida had more than 35,000 farms with nearly 10.8 million acres in agriculture (U.S. Bureau of Census, 1994). Agricultural production in Florida annually contributes about 16 billion dollars to the State's economy annually (Mulkey and Clouser, 1990). This ranks agricultural production in Florida as one of the 10 largest agricultural states in the Nation (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1991). The subtropical climate of the State and its close proximity to the east coast markets enable agricultural production to flourish. In central and southern Florida, the mild winters allow for early spring crop production as well as the potential to harvest multiple crops per year. The agricultural sector in Florida depends heavily on the availability of adequate water resources. Water demands for agricultural irrigation needs accounted for one-half of the State's total freshwater use in 1990 (Marella, 1992). JF - USGS BRANCH OF INFORMATION SERVICES. [np]. 1996.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-14 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Determination of roughness coefficients for streams in west-central Florida AN - 16240738; 4223956 AB - Physical and hydraulic characteristics are presented for 10 west-central Florida stream reaches. These may be used as reference reaches for estimating Manning's roughness coefficient, n, in similar rivers and channels. Discharge in these reaches ranged from 1.8 to 3,010 cubic feet per second and water-surface slope ranged from 0.00002 to 0.00476 foot per foot. Sites were selected at or near U.S. Geological Survey streamflow gaging stations at which the stage-discharge relations were relatively stable. Crest-stage gages were installed at appropriate locations in each study reach in order to obtain water-surface elevations. Water-surface profiles were collected over a range of discharges at each of the 10 sites and the roughness coefficient was computed for each discharge. For the 104 recorded streamflow events used in this report, the computed roughness coefficients ranged from 0.021 to 0.218 and the mean was 0.072. The median n value was 0.060; 70 percent of the time the n value was greater than 0.047 and 80 percent of the time the computed n was greater than 0.043. Bed material is so uniform at sites throughout west-central Florida that there is negligible variation in roughness as a result of variation in bed material. Streambank vegetation appears to be the major contributor to variations in roughness values for streams in west-central Florida. Channel roughness can be estimated quantitatively by evaluating the interaction of all roughness factors. Photographs of sites where n values have been computed can be used for comparison to estimate values at similar sites. Using a base n value of 0.040 and increasing n for factors of vegetation, channel obstructions, and other factors provides the best determination of n values for streams in west-central Florida.

The recording station provides the only high-altitude, long-term, year-round climate data for the mountains of south-central Alaska. The data set is 95 percent complete. Monthly precipitation-catch and average air temperature summaries are calculated for months with nine or fewer daily records missing. Annual data summaries are calculated for each hydrologic year, October 1 through September 30, for years that have 12 months of valid data. The average annual air temperature recorded at the site from 1967 through 1994 was -1.4 degrees Celsius (C). The coldest recorded year was 1972 with an average annual temperature of -3.2 degrees Celsius. The warmest year was 1981 with an average annual temperature of 0.4 degrees C. January 1989 was the coldest month with an average temperature of -14.0 degrees C. July 1993 was the warmest month with an average temperature of 10.2 degrees C. The average annual precipitation catch recorded at the site from 1967 through 1994 was 1,064 millimeters (mm). The highest annual precipitation catch recorded was 2,011 mm in 1980; the lowest was 690 mm in 1972. The highest recorded monthly precipitation catch was 426 mm in September 1976 and the lowest was 4 mm in February 1989. Because of low gage-catch efficiency, the reported annual precipitation-catch data are estimated to represent only 33 percent of the actual annual basin precipitation. Snowfall is the dominant form of precipitation and usually accumulates on the glacier from September through mid-June. JF - USGS Branch of Information Services. 79pp. 1996.

Hydrologic monitoring in the area is planned in order to evaluate any impacts from the proposed development. The hydrology in and around the Vale KGRA is not well known. Additionally, little is known about the targeted geothermal reservoir and the nature of its connection to the shallow ground-water system. Given this uncertainty, a variety of features were selected to ensure adequate monitoring coverage. Wells and springs in and around the geothermal area were evaluated, and 19 were selected as potential monitoring sites. In selecting wells and springs for monitoring, particular emphasis was placed on those with a known or probable connection with the geothermal system because they would most likely be the first to show any effects from development. The selected features include thermal wells in the hot-spring area near the town of Vale and a hot spring south of the KGRA. Several warm wells (70 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit) near the KGRA were also selected because it is likely that the water produced from these wells includes a component of geothermal water. In order to identify any effects of development, it is necessary to have an understanding of natural and man-caused variations and trends prior to development. A quarterly measurement schedule is proposed to help characterize these variations and trends. It is anticipated that the proposed monitoring plan will be modified as exploration and development proceed and more is learned about the geothermal system.

This amount was about 740 Mgal/d less than in 1988. The total water withdrawn for thermoelectric-power generation was about 15, 170 Mgal/d; about 370 Mgal/d was consumptively used. About 936 Mgal/d, or 33 percent, of the total water withdrawn in Illinois during 1990 was ground water, excluding withdrawals for thermoelectric-power generation; about 1,911 Mgal/d of surface water was withdrawn and used, excluding withdrawals for thermoelectric-power generation. Seventy-four percent of the total surface water, excluding withdrawals for thermoelectric-power generation, was withdrawn by public-supply facilities. The next largest use of surface water was for self-supplied industrial withdrawals. Forty-seven percent of the total ground water was withdrawn by public-supply facilities. The next largest use of ground water was for irrigation. About 25 Mgal /d of the total ground water withdrawn was saline. Sixty-five percent of the total water withdrawn, excluding thermoelectric withdrawals, in Illinois during 1990 was for public-supply facilities. The next largest users of the total water withdrawn was for self-supplied withdrawals by industries and for irrigation. Water withdrawn and delivered from public-supply facilities in Illinois during 1990 totaled about 1,859 Mgal/d. Surface water and ground water were the sources for about 1,415 and 444 Mgal/d, respectively, of the withdrawals for public supply. The total water obtained from Lake Michigan for public-water supply was about 1,146 Mgal/d. About 115 Mgal/d was withdrawn for self-supplied domestic purposes. Total self-supplied withdrawals and deliveries from public-water facilities for commercial use were about 672 Mgal/d. About 173 Mgal/d was self supplied by the commercial establishments. Total irrigation water withdrawals were about 78 Mgal/d. Total estimated livestock withdrawals were about 63 Mgal/d. Total self-supplied withdrawals and deliveries from public-supply facilities for industrial purposes were about 728 Mgal/d. About 464 Mgal/d was self-supplied withdrawals by industrial facilities. A total of about 94 Mgal/d was withdrawn during mining activities. A total of about 33 Mgal/d was withdrawn during mining from ground-water sources; about 25 Mgal/d of the ground water withdrawn was saline. JF - USGS BRANCH OF INFORMATION SERVICES. 55 pp. 1996.

The fundamental characteristic of the program is that most of the work is undertaken by the USGS through joint-funding agreements, with State, regional, and local agencies providing at least one-half the funds. The main objectives of the program are (1) to collect, on a systematic basis, data needed for the continuing determination and evaluation of the quantity, quality, and use of the Nation's water resources; and (2) to appraise the availability and the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of surface and ground water through data analysis and interpretive water-resources investigations and research. During fiscal year (FY) 1995, Cooperative Program activities were underway in offices in every State, Puerto Rico, and several territories in concert with about 1,100 cooperating agencies. In FY 1995, Federal funding of $62.1 million as matched by cooperating agencies, which also provided more than $28.2 million unmatched for a total program of about $152 million. This amounted to nearly 38 percent of the total funds for the USGS's water-resources activities. This report presents examples of FY 1995 investigations, as well as information on hydrologic data collection and water-use activities. JF - USGS Branch of Information Services. 39pp. 1996.

The analysis helped establish a regional framework of information for aquifers in about 70 intermontane basins in an area of 80,000 square miles. In many areas, ground water is the only suitable source of supply, yet little information is available about this resource. Selected geohydrologic data from 1,004 wells in 19 intermontane basins in Idaho were compiled as part of the regional analysis. Data consist of basin name and well number, altitude of land surface, date of well construction, geologic unit, depth of well, diameter of casing, type of finish, top of open interval, primary use of water, date of water level measurement, water level, discharge, specific capacity, source of discharge data, type of log available, date of water-quality constituent measurement, specific conductance, pH, and temperature. A similar report for intermontane basins in Montana has been published by the U.S. Geological Survey in Montana. (USGS). JF - USGS Branch of Information Services, Denver Fed.

Selected direct-current electrical resistivity surveys, together with available borehole geologic and geophysical data, were used to determine the approximate areal extent of the shallow clastic aquifers composed of thick sands and carbonate lithologies. Results indicated that a complex pattern of shallow sands, clays, and carbonate lithologies occur throughout the area. Buffed channel sands were found as deep as 50 meters below land surface in some places. The channels contain unconsolidated fine- to medium-grained quartz sand interbedded with sandy limestone, shell fragments, and gray-green sandy clay. Both surface and borehole geophysical techniques with lithologic data were necessary to approximately locate and define layers that might behave as confining layers and to locate and define the extent of any buried sand aquifers. The borehole geophysical data were used to analyze the zones of higher resistivity. Direct-current electrical resistivity data indicated the approximate location of certain layer boundaries. The conjunctive use of natural gamma and short- and long-normal resistivity logs was helpful in determining lithologic effects. Geohydrologic sections were prepared to identify potential locations of buried channels and carbonates containing freshwater. Buried channel sands and carbonate rock sections were identified in the subsurface that potentially may contain freshwater supplies. JF - USGS BRANCH OF INFORMATION SERVICES. 56 pp. 1996.

Using the particle-tracking program, particles were placed in every cell of the flow model (about 60,000 particles) and tracked backwards in time and space upgradient along flow paths to their recharge points. A new computer program was developed that interfaces the results from a particle-tracking program with a geographic information system (GIS). The GIS was used to display and analyze the particle-tracking results. Ground-water vulnerability was evaluated by selecting parts of the ground-water flow system and combining the results with ancillary information stored in the GIS to determine recharge areas, characteristics of recharge areas, downgradient impact of land use at recharge areas, and age of ground water. Maps of the recharge areas for each hydrogeologic unit illustrate the presence of local, intermediate, or regional ground-water flow systems and emphasize the three-dimensional nature of the ground-water flow system in Clark County. Maps of the recharge points for each hydrogeologic unit were overlaid with maps depicting aquifer sensitivity as determined by DRASTIC (a measure of the pollution potential of ground water, based on the intrinsic characteristics of the near-surface unsaturated and saturated zones) and recharge from on-site waste-disposal systems. A large number of recharge areas were identified, particularly in southern Clark County, that have a high aquifer sensitivity, coincide with areas of recharge from on-site waste-disposal systems, or both. Using the GIS, the characteristics of the recharge areas were related to the downgradient parts of the ground-water system that will eventually receive flow that has recharged through these areas. The aquifer sensitivity, as indicated by DRASTIC, of the recharge areas for downgradient parts of the flow system was mapped for each hydrogeologic unit. A number of public-supply wells in Clark County may be receiving a component of water that recharged in areas that are more conducive to contaminant entry. The aquifer sensitivity maps illustrate a critical deficiency in the DRASTIC methodology: the failure to account for the dynamics of the ground-water flow system. DRASTIC indices calculated for a particular location thus do not necessarily reflect the conditions of the ground-water resources at the recharge areas to that particular location.

The data were collected to establish the water quality of the Ohio River and to use in assessing the proposed effects of hydropower development on the water quality of the Ohio River. Water quality was monitored by a combination of synoptic field measurements, laboratory analyses, and continuous-record monitoring. Field measurements of water-quality characteristics were made along a longitudinal transect with 24 mid-channel sampling sites; cross-sectional transects of water-quality measurements were made at six of these sites. Water-quality measurements also were made at six sites located on the back-channel (West Virginia) sides of Marietta, Muskingum, and Blennerhassett Islands. At each longitudinal-transect and back-channel sampling site, measurements of specific conductance, pH, water temperature, and dissolved oxygen concentration were made at three depths (about 3.3 feet below the surface of the water, middle of the water column, and near the bottom of the river). Cross-sectional transects consisted of three to four detailed vertical profiles of the same characteristics. Water samples were collected at three depths in the mid-channel vertical profile in each cross-sectional transect and were analyzed for concentrations of phytoplankton chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. Estimates of the depth of light penetration (Secchi disk transparency) were made at phytoplankton-pigment-sampling locations whenever light and river-surface conditions were appropriate. Each synoptic sampling event was completed in 2 days or less. The entire network was sampled 10 times from May 24 to October 27, 1993. Continuous-record monitoring of water quality consisted of hourly measurements of specific conductance, pH, water temperature, and dissolved oxygen concentration that were made at a depth of 6.6 feet at the ends of the upstream and downstream wingwalls at Willow Island Dam. Continuous-record monitors were operated from May through October 1993. JF - USGS BRANCH OF INFORMATION SERVICES. 112 pp. 1996.

Lakes located with the mantled karst region have long been considered to be sinkhole lakes, originating from subsidence activity. High-resolution seismic-reflection data confirm this origin for these four lakes. The geologic framework of the Lake Wales Ridge has proven to be a suitable geologic setting for continuous high-resolution seismic-reflection profiling in lakes; however, the nature of the lake-bottom sediments largely controls the quality of the seismic data. In lakes with significant organic-rich bottom deposits, interpretable record was limited to areas where organic deposits were minimal. In lakes with clean, sandy bottoms, the seismic-reflection methods were highly successful in obtaining data that can be correlated with sublake subsidence features. These techniques are useful in examining sublake geology and providing a better understanding of how confining units are affected by subsidence in a region where their continuity is of significant importance to local lake hydrology. Although local geologic control around each lake generally corresponds to the regional geologic framework, local deviations from regional geologic trends occur in sublake areas affected by subsidence activity. Each of the four lakes examined represents a unique set of geologic controls and provides some degree of structural evidence of subsidence activity. Sublake geologic structures identified include: (1) marginal lake sediments dipping into bathymetric lows, (2) lateral discontinuity of confining units including sags and breaches, (3) the disruption and reworking of overlying unconsolidated siliciclastic sediments as they subside into the underlying irregular limestone surface, and (4) sublake regions where confining units appear to remain intact and unaffected by nearby subsidence activity. Each lake likely is underlain by several piping features rather than one large subsidence feature. JF - USGS BRANCH OF INFORMATION SERVICES. 72 pp. 1996.

Eighteen areas of possible contamination were identified. Ground-water levels, surface-water stages, surface-water discharges, and results of field and laboratory analyses of soil and water samples are presented in tabular form. Many quality-assurance samples had detectable concentrations of methylene chloride and 1,2-dichloroethane, which may be due to sampling or laboratory contamination. Concentrations were as great as 5.9 micrograms per liter for methylene chloride and 2.6 micrograms per liter for 1,2-dichloroethane. Excluding 1,2-dichloroethane, most soil, ground-water, and surface-water samples contained no detectable concentrations of the organic constituents that were analyzed. Chemical analyses were performed on two lake-bed-material samples and more than 100 soil samples. The median lead concentration was 9.8 milligrams per kilogram. Concentrations of tetrachloroethene were as great as 1.1 milligram per kilogram in soils near a laundry. Water samples were collected from 101 wells. The maximum benzene concentration detected in ground water was 78 micrograms per liter from a well at the air station near a site where aviation fuel was spilled. Wells near a laundry yielded water having concentrations of tetrachloroethene as great as 3,000 micrograms per liter, and vinyl chloride as great as 440 micrograms per liter. A well in a former aviation gasoline storage area yielded water with a concentration of trichloroethene as great as 66 micrograms per liter. Water samples were collected from 59 sites on streams, lakes, or ponds. Surface-water samples had much lower concentrations of organic compounds; the highest concentration of benzene was 2.2 micrograms per liter in a stream near a former aviation-fuel storage area and the maximum vinyl chloride concentration was 15 micrograms per liter in a stream near a former landfill. Tetrachloroethene and trichloroethene were not detected in any surface-water samples. JF - USGS BRANCH OF INFORMATION SERVICES. 73 pp. 1996.

Stream and spring discharge, water temperature, and specific-conductance data were collected during low base-flow conditions from 64 sites on September 1 and 13, 1993, and from 64 sites on March 17 and 18, 1994. Discharge was greater during high base-flow conditions than low base-flow conditions. Major tributaries on the south side of the study area consistently had lower flow than the tributaries on the north side. Discharge data were used to categorize stream reaches and sub-basins. Stream reaches were categorized as gaining or losing, wet, dry, or unobserved for each base-flow measurement period. More dry stream reaches occurred during the two low base-flow periods than during the high base-flow period. Sub-basin areas with surplus or deficient flow were also defined. Many areas of deficient flow occurred near the headwaters of the Little West Fork basin under all base-flow conditions. Fewer areas of deficient flow occurred near the mouth of the basin. The flow per square mile for each major tributary basin in the study area was also calculated. The values of flow per square mile for the tributary basins in the northern part of the study area were greater than those for the tributary basins in the southern part of the study area under all base-flow conditions.

The reconnaissance was completed during two field trips made in June and September 1992, during which geothermal and hydrologic features of public interest in the Medicine Lake area were identified. Selected wells, springs, and geothermal features were located and documented, and initial water-level, discharge, temperature, and specific-conductance measurements were made. Lakes in the study area also were surveyed during the September field trip. Temperature, specific-conductance, dissolved oxygen, and pH data were collected by using a multiparameter probe. The proposed monitoring plan includes measurement of water levels in wells, discharge from springs, and lake stage, as well as analysis of well-,spring-, and lake-water quality. In determining lake-water quality, data for both stratified and unstratified conditions would be considered. (Data for stratified conditions were collected during the reconnaissance phase of this project, but data for unstratified conditions were not.) In addition, lake stage also would be monitored. A geothermal feature near Medicine Lake is a "hot spot" from which hot gases discharge from two distinct vents. Gas chemistry and temperature would be monitored in one of these vents.

A low-temperature (85 degrees Celsius) nitric acid digestion followed by the careful addition of hydrogen peroxide (30-percent solution) is used to decompose the biological material. The solutions are evaporated to incipient dryness, reconstituted with 5 percent nitric acid, and filtered. After filtration the solutions were diluted to a known volume and analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), and cold vapor-atomic absorption spectrophotometry (CV-AAS). Many of the metals were determined by both ICP-MS and ICP-AES. This report does not provide a detailed description of the instrumental procedures and conditions used with the three types of instrumentation for the quantitation of trace metals determined in this study. Statistical data regarding recovery, accuracy, and precision for individual trace metals determined in the biological material tested are summarized.

Data presented are from January 1994 through September 1996, with a focus on data from July through September 1996 (third quarter of 1996). A complete database of ground-water withdrawals and chloride-concentration records since 1985 is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey. Total rainfall for the period July through September 1996 was 8.94 inches, which is 60 percent less than the mean rainfall of 22.23 inches for the period July through September. July and August are part of the annual dry season, while September is the start of the annual wet season. Ground-water withdrawal during July through September 1996 averaged 1,038,300 gallons per day. Withdrawal for the same 3 months in 1995 averaged 888,500 gallons per day. Ground-water withdrawals have steadily increased since about April 1995. At the end of September 1996, the chloride concentration of water from the elevated tanks at Cantonment and Air Operations were 68 and 150 milligrams per liter, respectively. The chloride concentration from all five production areas increased throughout the third quarter of 1996, and started the upward trend in about April 1995. Chloride concentration of ground water in monitoring wells at Cantonment and Air Operations also increased throughout the third quarter of 1996, with the largest increases from water in the deepest monitoring wells. Chloride concentrations have not been at this level since the dry season of 1994. A fuel-pipeline leak at Air Operations in May 1991 decreased total islandwide withdrawals by 15 percent. This lost pumping capacity is being offset by increased pumpage at Cantonment. Six wells do not contribute to the water supply because they are being used to hydraulically divert fuel migration away from water-supply wells by a program of ground-water withdrawal and injection.

Prior to this, the spring was the drinking-water source for two families in the Dickson, Tennessee area. An investigation was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with Dickson County Solid Waste Management, to determine if Sullivan Spring is hydraulically downgradient from the Dickson County landfill. This report describes the data collected during the investigation. Five monitoring wells were installed near the northwestern corner of the landfill at points between the landfill and Sullivan Spring. Water-level measurements were made on June 1 and 2, 1995, at these wells and 13 other wells near the landfill to determine ground-water altitudes in the area. Water-level altitudes in the five new monitoring wells and three other landfill-monitoring wells were higher (750.04 to 800.17 feet) than the altitude of Sullivan Spring (approximately 725 feet). In general, wells in topographically high areas had higher water-level altitudes than Sullivan Spring and wells near streams in lowland areas. JF - USGS Branch of Information Services. 16pp. 1996.

Contamination of the surficial aquifer system and availability of a potable water supply have become of increasing concern. The study consisted of sampling 11 ground-water wells and 14 surface-water sites for determination of major inorganic constituents and physical characteristics, trace metals, nitrogen and phosphorus species, and synthetic organic compounds. Sodium and chloride concentrations exceeded Florida drinking-water standards in ground water at two wells, dissolved-solids concentrations at five ground-water wells and one surface-water site, and color values at all 11 ground-water wells and all 14 surface-water sites. Other constituents also exhibited concentrations that exceeded drinking-water standards. Cadmium and zinc concentrations exceeded the standards in ground water at one well, and lead concentrations exceeded the standard in ground water at five wells. Nitrogen and phosphorus specie concentrations did not exceed respective drinking-water standards in any ground-water or surface-water samples. Several synthetic organic compounds were detected at or above 50 micrograms per liter in water samples collected from six ground-water wells and three surface-water sites.

Investigations were initiated to assess the effect of contamination to the surficial aquifer at Sites 1062, 2438, and 2444. These investigations involved the installation of permanent monitoring wells and the collection and analysis of sediment and ground-water samples at the three sites. Water-level data were collected at all sites to determine hydraulic gradients and the direction of ground-water flow. In addition, aquifer tests were made at Site 1062 to determine the hydraulic conductivity of the surficial aquifer at that site. Sediment borings were made at the three sites to collect subsurface-sediment samples for lithologic description and laboratory analyses, and for the installation of ground-water monitoring wells. Laboratory analyses of sediment samples collected from boreholes at Site 1062 indicated elevated concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons at three locations. Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons - Diesel Range Organics were detected at one borehole at a concentration of 388,000 micrograms per kilogram. Total benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene concentrations in sediment from the site ranged from less than 350 to over 100,000 micrograms per kilogram. Total lead was detected at concentrations ranging from 2,900 to 5,900 micrograms per kilogram. Petroleum hydrocarbons were detected at Site 2438 in one borehole at a trace concentration of 112 micrograms per kilogram of para- and meta-xylenes. No concentrations exceeding the detection limits were reported for petroleum hydrocarbons in sediment samples collected from Site 2444; however, total lead was detected in sediment samples from two boreholes, each at concentrations of 600 micrograms per kilogram. Ground-water samples were collected from each site for laboratory analysis and field-property determinations. Petroleum hydrocarbons and lead were detected at concentrations exceeding regulatory limits for drinking water in ground water from Site 1062 only. Petroleum hydrocarbons were detected in ground water from three wells at Site 1062, with the highest concentrations occurring in the area of the former underground storage tanks. Benzene was detected at concentrations as much as 28 micrograms per liter; toluene as much as 558 micrograms per liter; para- and meta-xylenes as much as 993 micrograms per liter; and naphthalene as much as 236 micrograms per liter. Ethylbenzene and ortho-xylene were detected in one well at concentrations of 70 and 6 micrograms per liter, respectively. Dissolved lead was detected in ground water from four wells at concentrations from 5 to 152 micrograms per liter. Analysis of ground-water samples collected from Sites 2438 and 2444 showed little evidence of petroleum-hydrocarbon contamination. Petroleum hydrocarbons were not detected in any of the ground-water samples collected from Site 2438. With the exception of a low concentration of naphthalene (11 micrograms per liter) detected in ground water from one well, petroleum hydrocarbons and lead were not detected in ground water collected from Site 2444.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-14 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Geomorphology of the lower Copper River, Alaska AN - 16230733; 4223974 AB - The Copper River, located in southcentral Alaska, drains an area of more than 24,000 square miles. About 30 miles above its mouth, this large river enters Miles Lake, a proglacial lake formed by the retreat of Miles Glacier. Downstream from the outlet of Miles Lake, the Copper River flows past the face of Childs Glacier before it enters a large, broad, alluvial flood plain. The Copper River Highway traverses this flood plain and in 1996, 11 bridges were located along this section of the highway. These bridges cross parts or all of the Copper River and in recent years, some of these bridges have sustained serious damage due to the changing course of the Copper River. Although the annual mean discharge of the lower Copper River is 57,400 cubic feet per second, most of the flow occurs during the summer months from snowmelt, rainfall, and glacial melt. Approximately every six years, an outburst flood from Van Cleve Lake, a glacier-dammed lake formed by Miles Glacier, releases approximately 1 million acre-feet of water into the Copper River. At the peak outflow rate from Van Cleve Lake, the flow of the Copper River will increase an additional 140,000 and 190,000 cubic feet per second. Bedload sampling and continuous seismic reflection were used to show that Miles Lake traps virtually all the bedload being transported by the Copper River as it enters the lake from the north. The reservoir-like effect of Miles Lake results in the armoring of the channel of the Copper River downstream from Miles Lakes, past Childs Glacier, until it reaches the alluvial flood plain. At this point, bedload transport begins again. The lower Copper River transports 69 million tons per year of suspended sediment, approximately the same quantity as the Yukon River, which drains an area of more than 300,000 square miles. By correlating concurrent flows from a long-term streamflow-gaging station on the Copper River with a short-term streamflow-gaging station at the outlet of Miles Lake, long-term flow characteristics of the lower Copper River were synthesized. Historical discharge and cross-section data indicate that as late as 1970, most of the flow of the lower Copper River was through the first three bridges of the Copper River Highway as it begins to traverse the alluvial flood plain. In the mid 1980's, a percentage of the flow had shifted away from these three bridges and in 1995, only 51 percent of the flow of the Copper River passed through them. Eight different years of aerial photography of the lower Copper River were analyzed using Geographical Information System techniques. This analysis indicated that no major channel changes were caused by the 1964 earthquake. A flood in 1981 that had a recurrence interval of more than 100 years caused significant channel changes in the lower Copper River. A probability analysis of the lower Copper River indicated stable areas and the long-term locations of channels. By knowing the number of times a particular area has been occupied by water and the last year an area was occupied by water, areas of instability can be located. A Markov analysis of the lower Copper River indicated that the tendency of the flood plain is to remain in its current state. Large floods of the magnitude of the 1981 event are believed to be the cause of major changes in the lower Copper River. JF - USGS BRANCH OF INFORMATION SERVICES. 123 pp. 1996.

This is the second report for the project. The first report (Carter, 1995) presented data collected through water year 1993. The purpose of the Huron Project is to demonstrate the artificial recharge potential of glacial aquifers in eastern South Dakota. High flows from the James River during spring runoff were used as a source of supplemental recharge for the Warren aquifer, which is a buried, glacial aquifer. In 1990, 70 observation wells were installed by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) specifically for this study, and 15 existing DENR observation wells were incorporated into the study. In 1993, the recharge well was installed. After a trial injection of recharge water in April 1994, continuous injection began in June 1994. Many sites were monitored to obtain information before, during, and after recharging the aquifer. This report presents data that were collected during the three phases of recharge. Precipitation data are collected at two sites within the study area. A site description and daily precipitation for water years 1994-95 are presented for one precipitation site. Water-level hydrographs are presented for the 85 observation wells and the recharge well. Hydrographs are shown for the period from October 1, 1993, through November 29, 1995. Recharge water was injected from June 2, 1994, through July 29, 1994, and from June 14, 1995, through September 13, 1995. The cumulative volume of injected water and the injection rates into the aquifer are presented for the periods of recharge. Water-quality data were collected from screening, detailed, and plume-monitoring sampling programs. Screening water-quality data for six observation wells are presented. These data include primarily field parameters and common ions. The four detailed sampling sites represent the quality of untreated water, treated water, and ground water from the Warren aquifer. Data presented for the detailed sampling program include field parameters, bacteria counts, and concentrations of common ions, solids, nutrients, trace elements, radiometrics, total organic carbon, herbicides, insecticides, and volatile organic compounds. Water-quality data for the plume-monitoring sampling program were collected from 25 sites during injection of recharge water into the Warren aquifer in 1994 and 1995. The data for the plume-monitoring program include primarily field parameters and common ions. Data for quality-assurance samples also are presented.

The Millington site is located along the Big Creek Drainage Canal east of State Route 240. Water levels were monitored in thirteen 8-inch-diameter wells from July 1994 through September 1995. Water-level recorders provided continuous measurement of water level during periods of wetland inundation and depth to water table during periods of noninundation. A crest-stage indicator and a continuous-stage recorder were installed to monitor surface-water fluctuation. Precipitation data were recorded to determine timing and duration of rainfall events. Land surface at the wells was inundated from 0 to 48 percent of the study period. Additionally, water levels at the wells were within 1.5 feet of the land surface from 0 to 56 percent of the study period. The Huntingdon study site is located along the Crooked Creek Drainage Canal at State Route 22. Ground-water levels were monitored in two wells (wells W-1 and W-2) with continuous water-level recorders from May 1994 through September 1995. Water levels did not rise above land surface at either well during the study. Water levels at wells W-1 and W-2 were within 1.5 feet of the land surface 46 and 50 percent of the study period, respectively. Surface-water stage was monitored at a pond on the mitigation site.

The peak discharge for the May 19, 1990, flood on Perry Creek at 38th Street, Sioux City (06600000) is the second largest flood-peak discharge recorded at the streamflow-gaging station for the period 1939-95. The peak discharge for May 19, 1990, of 8,670 cubic feet per second, is approximately equal to the 35-year recurrence-interval discharge. The report provides information on flood stages and discharges and floodflow frequencies for streamflow-gaging stations in the Perry Creek Basin using flood information collected during 1939-95. Information on temporary bench marks and reference points established in the Perry Creek Basin during 1990-93 is also included in the report. A flood history describes rainfall conditions for the three largest floods that occurred during 1939-95 (July 1944, September 1949, and May 1990).

The source of contamination is secondarily treated sewage that has been discharged onto rapid-infiltration sand beds at the Massachusetts Military Reservation since 1936. Contaminated ground water containing as much as 2 milligrams per liter of dissolved phosphorus is discharging into Ashumet Pond, and there is concern that the continued discharge of phosphorus into the pond will accelerate eutrophication of the pond. Water-quality data collected from observation wells and multilevel samplers from June through July 1995 were used to delineate the spatial distributions of specific conductance, boron, and phosphorus. Temporal distributions were determined using sample-interval-weighted average concentrations calculated from data collected in 1993, 1994, and 1995. Specific conductances were greater than 400 microsiemens per centimeter at 25C as far as 1,200 feet downgradient from the infiltration beds. Boron concentrations were greater than 400 micrograms per liter as far as 1,800 feet downgradient from the beds and phosphorus concentrations were greater than 3.0 milligrams per liter as far as 1,200 feet from the beds. Variability in distributions of specific conductance and boron concentrations is attributed to the history and distribution of sewage disposal onto the infiltration beds. The distribution of phosphorus concentrations also is related to the history and distribution of sewage disposal onto the beds but additional variability is caused by chemical interactions with the aquifer materials. Temporal changes in specific conductance and boron from 1993 to 1995 were negligible, except in the lower part of the plume (below an altitude of about 5 feet above sea level), where changes in weighted-average specific conductance were greater than 100 microsiemens per centimeter at 25C. Temporal changes in phosphorus generally were small except in the lower part of the plume, where weighted-average phosphorus concentrations decreased more than 1.3 milligrams per liter from 1993 to 1994. This decrease was accompanied by an increase in specific conductance. High concentrations of phosphorus associated with low and moderate specific conductances possibly are the result of rapid phosphorus desorption in response to an influx of uncontaminated ground water. As a result of the cessation of sewage disposal in December 1995, clean, oxygenated water moving into contaminated parts of the aquifer may cause rapid desorption of sorbed phosphorus and temporarily result in high dissolved phosphorus concentrations in the aquifer.

The upper Cache River is encroaching on Heron Pond, which has raised the issue of the possibility of a failure of the Heron Pond wall, the area between Heron Pond and the upper Cache River. Hydraulic, geotechnical, geomorphic, and biologic data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Office of Water Resources (IDNR/OWR) for use in designing a mitigation plan by the IDNR/OWR to prevent the failure of the Heron Pond wall. The river is sluggish during floods with velocities generally 1-2 feet per second. Biologic activity in the area have increased bank instability, which already is a problem because of saturated soils in the Heron Pond wall. In the area adjacent to the Heron Pond, the right descending bank of the upper Cache River receded 0.5 foot between September 21, 1995 and June 25, 1996. Comparisons between two surveys, 1958 and 1995, indicate that the channel near the discontinued USGS streamflow-gaging station near the Burlington Northern Railroad crossing has widened by more than 10 feet with less than 0.5 foot of incision.

Quantification of the transport of nutrients, sediment, and pesticides from agricultural fields was one of the objectives of the study. This report presents nutrient, sediment, and pesticide data collected during selected storm events from 1990 through 1995 at four relatively small, agricultural basins (28 to 422 acres) in the Beaver Creek watershed. Approximately 3,000 water samples (500 to 1,000 at each site) were analyzed for nitrogen and phosphorus species. Total nitrogen (N) concentrations ranged from 0.2 to 41.2 milligrams per liter (mg/L). Median concentrations for samples from each site ranged from 2.0 to 2.7 mg/L for total nitrogen, 1.2 to 1.9 mg/L for organic nitrogen, 0.05 to 0.14 mg/L for ammonia (measured as N), and 0.2 to 0.8 mg/L for nitrate plus nitrite (measured as N). Total phosphorus (P) concentrations ranged from 0.03 to 16.0 mg/Lake Median concentrations for samples from each site ranged from 0.80 to 1.2 mg/L for total phosphorus and 0.15 to 0.72 for orthophosphate (measured as P). Approximately 6,000 water samples (1,300 to 1,800 at each site) were analyzed for suspended sediment. Suspended-sediment concentrations ranged from 8.0 to 98,353 mg/Lake Concentrations exceeded 1,000 mg/L in 33 percent of the samples collected and exceeded 10,000 mg/L in 6 percent of the samples. Median concentrations ranged from 347 to 713 mg/L at the four sites. Several herbicides and insecticides were detected in water samples. Maximum concentrations detected were 37 micrograms per liter for metolachlor, 3.2 for trifluralin, 150 for fluometuron, and 430 for aldicarb. Aldicarb metabolites were also detected in several samples. The maximum aldicarb sulfoxide and aldicarb sulfone concentrations detected were 68.4 and 14.3 micrograms per liter, respectively.

Water-quality samples of stormwater runoff from the bridge and outflow from the detention pond were collected during and after selected storms. These samples were used to compute loads for selected constituents. Stormwater on the Bayside Bridge drained rapidly during rain events. The volume of stormwater runoff from 24 storms measured during the study ranged from 4,086 to 103,705 cubic feet. Storms were most frequent during July through September and were least frequent from February through May. Concentrations of most constituents in stormwater runoff before the bridge opened to traffic were less than or equal to concentrations measured after the bridge was opened to traffic. However, concentrations of arsenic in the outflow from the detention pond generally were greater before the bridge opened than concentrations after, and concentrations of orthophosphorus in the stormwater runoff and outflow from the pond were greater before the bridge opened than during over half the sampled storms after the bridge opened. Concentrations of most constituents measured in stormwater runoff from the bridge were greatest at the beginning of the storm and decreased as the storm continued. Variations in suspended solids, nutrients, and trace element concentrations were not always concurrent with each other. The source of the measured constituent (rainfall or road debris) and the phase of the constituent (suspended or dissolved) probably affected the timing of concentration changes. The quality of stormwater runoff from the Bayside Bridge varied with total runoff volume, with the length of the dry period before the storm, and with season. Stormwater runoff and pond outflow for three storm events were evaluated to determine the effectiveness of the detention pond system in removing selected constituents from the stormwater runoff. Most constituents and constituent loads were reduced in the outflow from the pond. Suspended solids loads were reduced about 30 to 45 percent, inorganic nitrogen loads were reduced by about 60 to 90 percent, and loads of most trace elements were reduced by about 40 to 99 percent. However, the pond exports ammonia plus organic nitrogen, organic carbon, arsenic, and phosphorus. The source of most of these constituents is probably biological activity in the pond. The export of arsenic and the elevated concentrations of arsenic in the pond outflow before the bridge opened implies that arsenic is stored in the pond sediments and is being released to the overlying pond water.

This report summarizes the surface-water-discharge data collected during the study and estimates peak, average, and low-flow values for Buskin River near its mouth. Water-discharge measurements were made at least once at 48 sites on streams in or near the Center. Discharges were measured in the Buskin River near its mouth five times during 1987-89 and ranged from 27 to 367 cubic feet per second. Tributaries of Buskin River below Buskin Lake that had discharges greater than 1 cubic foot per second include Bear Creek, Alder Creek, Magazine Creek, Devils Creek and an outlet from Lake Louise. Streams having flows generally greater than 0.1 cubic foot per second but less than 1 cubic foot per second include an unnamed tributary to Buskin River, an unnamed tributary to Lake Catherine and a drainage channel at Kodiak airport. Most other streams flowing into Buskin River, and all streams on Nyman Peninsula, usually had little or no flow except during periods of rainfall or snowmelt. During a low-flow period in February 1989, discharge measurements in Buskin River and its tributaries indicate that three reaches of Buskin River below Buskin Lake lost water to the ground-water system, whereas two reaches gained water; the net gain in streamflow attributed to ground-water inflow at a location near the mouth was estimated to be 2.2 cubic feet per second. The 100-year peak flow for Buskin River near its mouth was estimated to be 4,460 cubic feet per second. Average discharge was estimated to be 125 cubic feet per second and the 7-day 10-year low flow was estimated to be 5.8 cubic feet per second. JF - USGS BRANCH OF INFORMATION SERVICES. 18 pp. 1996.

The U.S. Geological Survey conducted this study in cooperation with the Fairbanks International Airport, the University of Alaska Fairbanks, the Alaska Department of Natural Resources-Division of Mining and Water Management, the U.S Army, Alaska, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Alaska District. These data were collected to provide information about potential recharge of the ground-and surface-water systems during the snowmelt period in the Fairbanks area. This information is needed by companion geohydrologic studies of areas with known or suspected contaminants in the subsurface. Data-collection sites selected had open, boggy, wooded, or brushy vegetation cover and had different slope aspects. The deepest snow at any site, 27.1 inches, was recorded on April 1, 1995; the shallowest snow measured that day was 19.1 inches. The snow-water equivalents at these two sites were 5.9 inches and 4.5 inches, respectively. Snow depths and water equivalents were comparatively greater at open and bog sites than at wooded or brushy sites. Snow depths and water equivalents at all sites decreased throughout the measuring period. The decrease was more rapid at open and boggy sites than at wooded and brushy sites. Snow had completely disappeared from all sites by April 26, 1995. JF - USGS BRANCH OF INFORMATION SERVICES. 16 pp. 1996.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-14 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - The Beaver Creek story AN - 16221564; 4223989 AB - Beaver Creek watershed in West Tennessee includes about 95,000 acres of the Nation's most productive farmland and most highly erodible soils. In 1989 the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Tennessee Department of Agriculture, began a study to evaluate the effect of agricultural activities on water quality in the watershed and for best management practices designed to reduce agricultural nonpoint-source pollution. Agrichemical monitoring included testing the soils, ground water, and streams at four farm sites ranging from 27 to 420 acres. Monitoring stations were operated downstream to gain a better understanding of the water chemistry as runoff moved from small ditches into larger streams to the outlet of the Beaver Creek watershed. Prior to the implementation of best management practices at one of the farm study sites, some storms produced an average suspended-sediment concentration of 70,000 milligrams per liter. After the implementation of BMP's, however, the average value never exceeded 7,000 milligrams per liter. No-till crop production was the most effective best management practice for conserving soil on the farm fields tested. A natural bottomland hardwood wetland and a constructed wetland were evaluated as instream resource-management systems. The wetlands improved water quality downstream by acting as a filter and removing a significant amount of nonpoint-source pollution from the agricultural runoff. The constructed wetland reduced the sediment, pesticide, and nutrient load by approximately 50 percent over a 4-month period. The results of the Beaver Creek watershed study have increased the understanding of the effects of agriculture on water resources. Study results also demonstrated that BMP's do protect and improve water quality. JF - USGS BRANCH OF INFORMATION SERVICES. [np]. 1996.

The method is used to determine 41 pesticides and pesticide metabolites that are not readily amenable to gas chromatography or other high-temperature analytical techniques. Pesticides are extracted from filtered environmental water samples using a 0.5-gram graphitized carbon-based solid-phase cartridge, eluted from the cartridge into two analytical fractions, and analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode-array detection. The upper concentration limit is 1.6 micrograms per liter (=B5g/L) for most compounds. Single-operator method detection limits in organic-free water samples ranged from 0.006 to 0.032 =B5g/L= Recoveries in organic-free water samples ranged from 37 to 88 percent. Recoveries in ground- and surface-water samples ranged from 29 to 94 percent.

One of the systems discharges highway runoff onsite through local drainpipes. The other systems use trunkline drainpipes through which runoff from highway surfaces, shoulders, and median strips is diverted and discharged into either a local stream or a coastal waterway. Route 25 was completed and opened to traffic in the summer of 1987. Road salt was first applied to the highway in the winter of 1987-88. The study area is on a thick outwash plain composed primarily of sand and gravel. Water-table depths range from 15 to 60 feet below land surface at the four test sites. Ground-water flow is in a general southerly direction, approximately perpendicular to the highway. Streamflow in the study area is controlled primarily by ground-water discharge. Background concentrations of dissolved chloride, sodium, and calcium-the primary constituents of road salt-are similar in ground water and surface water and range from 5 to 20, 5 to 10, and 1 to 5 milligrams per liter, respectively. Data-collection programs were developed for monitoring the application of road salt to the highway, the quantity of road-salt water entering the ground water, diverted through the highway-drainage systems, and entering a local stream. The Massachusetts Highway Department monitored road salt applied to the highway and reported these data to the U.S. Geological Survey. The U.S. Geological Survey designed and operated the ground-water, highway-drainage, and surface-water data-collection programs. A road-salt budget will be calculated for each test site so that the effectiveness of the different highway-drainage systems in preventing contamination of ground water by road salt can be determined.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-14 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Plan for assessment of the occurrence, status, and distribution of volatile organic compounds in aquifers of the United States AN - 16206256; 4275175 AB - The occurrence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in water is of national concern because of their relatively high aqueous solubility, mobility, and persistence, because many are known or suspected carcinogens, because of their widespread use, and because they have been found in drinking-water supplies. Because of this national concern, VOCs were selected for National investigation (hereafter termed "National Synthesis") by the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program in 1994. The broad goals of this National Synthesis are to: (1) describe current water-quality conditions with respect to VOCs; (2) define trends, or lack of trends, in VOCs in surface and ground water; and (3) identify, describe, and explain causal relations among the occurrence and distribution of VOCs in surface water and ground water, and natural and human factors. The National Synthesis of VOCs in ground water has three objectives: (1) to describe their occurrence, status, and distribution; (2) to determine relations among VOCs in shallow ground water and natural and human factors; and (3) to determine, compare, and contrast the occurrence, transformation, transport, and fate of selected VOCs in the hydrologic cycle for several regionally or nationally important aquifer systems. The description of VOC occurrence, status, and distribution in ground water focuses on major aquifers of the United States. Occurrence describes the presence or absence of VOCs, their frequency of occurrence, and their ranges of concentrations. Status compares the concentrations of VOCs detected in relation to water-quality regulations or advisories, such as Maximum Contaminant Levels, Proposed Maximum Contaminant Levels, Maximum Contaminant Level Goals, and Health Advisories. Distribution describes the variability of VOCs in ground water, areally and by depth. This report describes the study design for conducting such an assessment. The assessment focuses on aquifers, or parts of aquifers, that are currently used or have the potential to be used as sources of water supplies, using data collected as part of local, State, and Federal ground-water monitoring programs since 1985. Assessment by aquifer and comparison of results among aquifers will be completed for those aquifers for which adequate spatial or depth-related data are available. Assessment of VOCs in aquifers also will be completed at regional and national scales. A set of criteria for well-network design, well construction, sample-collection methods, and methods of laboratory analysis must be met before VOC data are used for assessment. An appropriate well-network design will provide a generally unbiased, random, equal-area distribution of sampling sites throughout the aquifer, or part of the aquifer, of interest. Well-construction information must be sufficient to ensure that the hydrogeologic unit (or units) represented by the water level measured and the hydrologic unit (or units) contributing water to the well are known. In addition, the well construction and pumping equipment in the well need to be of a type that are not likely to affect concentrations of VOCs in the water sample. VOC data will be considered suitable for use in the occurrence assessment if nationally accepted methods for collection and analysis were used and if the quantitation level for VOC analytes was less than about 5 micrograms per liter; laboratory analysis was done by a laboratory certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; and the sample was collected from untreated (raw) water at or near the well head before being held in a pressure tank or holding tank.

The report is designed to provide a conceptual framework for the Southern Florida National Water Quality Assessment (NAWQA) study that began in 1994. The report makes reference to the most important water-quality literature pertaining to southern Florida, to water-quality studies that are underway or planned, and to topics which are of high priority in the study unit. These topics include: the availability and suitability of water for competing demands; nutrient enrichment of the Everglades; transport, degradation, and effects of pesticides; and the sources and cycling of mercury in the ecosystem. The report also includes a retrospective analysis and conceptual presentation of nutrient loading, which is a high priority for the national NAWQA Program and for regional water-quality managers. Nutrient contributions from point and nonpoint sources are estimated for nine basins in the study area and are discussed in relation to land use. Fertilizer is the dominant source of phosphorus in eight basins and the dominant source of nitrogen in at least five basins. Atmospheric sources of nitrogen contribute more than 20 percent of the total nitrogen input to all basins and are the dominant source of nitrogen input to Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades. Nutrient loads are also estimated in selected canal and river outflows in southern Florida to provide a spatial overview of the magnitude of nutrient loading to coastal waters. Annual phosphorus loads from the Peace River are the highest in the study unit; annual phosphorus loads from the Caloosahatchee River and the major Palm Beach canals are also high, compared to other parts of southern Florida. Estimated annual loads of phosphorus from parts of the Big Cypress Basin and the S-12 water-control structures of the Tamiami Canal are low compared with estimated phosphorus loads in outflows in the northern part of the study unit. Annual nitrogen loads in southern Florida were highest in outflows from the Caloosahatchee River Basin and the major Palm Beach canals. Nitrogen loads in outflows from parts of the Big Cypress subbasin were lower than those estimated to the north. JF - USGS BRANCH OF INFORMATION SERVICES. 42 pp. 1996.

Recharge to the freshwater lens is estimated to be 990,000 gallons per day on the basis of an estimated mean annual rainfall of 160 inches. The long-term average sustainable yield is estimated to be about 280,000 gallons per day. The estimated demand for water is about 30,000 gallons per day. Shallow-vertical-tube-wells or horizontal-infiltration wells could be used to develop the freshwater lens. The effect of development on the lens can be determined by monitoring the chloride concentration of water from a network of shallow-water-table wells and deep driven wells. The groundwater resource on Ngatik can be used in conjunction with individual rainwater-catchment systems: rainwater can be used for drinking and cooking and ground water can be used for sanitary purposes. When rainwater-catchment systems fail during extended dry periods, ground water would be available to meet the total demand.

The water-budget components are defined seasonally, through the use of monthly data, and spatially by topographic and geologic areas, through the use of a geographic information system model. The long-term average ground-water recharge for the Lahaina District was estimated for three scenarios using 1923-78 land-use and irrigation data, 1986-93 land-use and irrigation data, and natural conditions. The average annual ground-water recharge rate for 1923-78 conditions is 190 million gallons per day, which is 45 percent of the sum of rainfall and irrigation. The recharge rate for 1986-93 conditions is 163 million gallons per day, which is 42 percent of rainfall plus irrigation. The recharge rate for natural conditions is 145 million gallons per day, which is 44 percent of rainfall.

This report presents results for 1983-91, which included pre-construction and construction periods at all stream-gaging stations. Annual rainfall, streamflow, and suspended-sediment loads were generally higher during construction than before construction. Data collected before and during construction were compared using analysis of covariance to determine whether streamflow and suspended-sediment loads changed significantly during construction after accounting for effects of increased rainfall. Streamflow at stream-gaging stations was compared with streamflow at an index stream- gaging station unaffected by construction. Streamflow data were divided into low- and high-flow classes, and the two flow classes were analyzed separately. Low flows increased 117 percent during construction at one station. This increase probably was related to the removal of vegetation for highway construction. Low flows decreased 28 percent at another station, probably as a result of increased ground-water withdrawals and highway construction activities. No significant changes in low flows were detected at the other stations, and no significant changes in high flows were detected at any stations. Suspended-sediment loads increased significantly during construction at three stations. Highway construction contributed between 56 and 76 percent of the suspended-sediment loads measured at these stations during construction. Loads did not change significantly at a station downstream of a reservoir, and loads decreased at a station downstream of a drainage basin that was heavily used for agriculture before construction. Suspended-sediment concentrations were used to assess compliance with applicable State waterquality standards. State water-quality standards for suspended sediment frequently were exceeded during construction. Standards occasionally were exceeded before construction.

Time-of-travel and dispersion measurements were made in a 113-mile reach of the Wind/Bighorn River below Boysen Dam; a 117-mile reach of the Green River upstream from Fontenelle Reservoir and a 70-mile reach downstream; parts of four tributaries to the Green (East Fork River, 39 miles; Big Sandy River, 112 miles; Horse Creek, 14 miles; and Blacks Fork, 14 miles); a 75-mile reach of the Little Snake River along the Wyoming-Colorado State line; and a 95-mile reach of the North Platte River downstream from Casper. Reaeration measurements were made during one of the time-of-travel measurements in the North Platte River. Sixty-eight dye-dilution measurements of stream discharge were made at 22 different sites. These included 17 measurements for verifying the stage-discharge relations for streamflow-gaging stations on North and South Brush Creeks near Saratoga, and total of 29 discharge measurements at 12 new stations at remote sites on steep, rough mountain streams crossing limestone outcrops in northeastern Wyoming. The largest discharge measured by dye tracing was 2,300 cubic feet per second. In karst terrane, four losing streams-North Fork Powder River, North Fork Crazy Woman Creek, Little Tongue River, and Smith Creek-were dye-tested. In the Middle Popo Agie River, a sinking stream in Sinks Canyon State Park, a dye test verified the connection of the sink (Sinks of Lander Cave) to the rise, where flow in the stream resumes.

Water use estimates were divided into nine categories: public supply, self-supplied domestic, commercial, irrigation, livestock, industrial, mining, thermoelectric power, and hydroelectric power. Public supply water use, estimated to be 2,160 Mgal, primarily was obtained from springs and wells. Shallow ground water wells were the primary source of self-supplied domestic water, estimate to be 1.7 Mgal, and 53 percent of those wells were drilled to a depth of 100 feet or less. Commercial water use, estimated to be 117 Mgal, was obtained from public-supply systems. Surface water supplied an estimated 153,000 Mgal of the total estimated water use of 158,000 Mgal for irrigation in 1993. Sprinkler and flood irrigation technology were used about equally in the northern part of Lincoln County and flood irrigation was the primary technology used in the southern part. Livestock, industrial, and mining were not major water users in Lincoln County in 1993. Livestock water use totaled an estimated 203 Mgal. Industrial water use was estimated to be 120 Mgal from self-supplied water sources and 27 Mgal from public supplied water source Mining water use was an estimated 153 Mgal. Thermoelectric and hydroelectric power generation used surface water sources. Thermoelectric power water use was an estimated 5,900 Mgal. An estimated 238,000 Mgal of water was used to generate hydroelectric power at Fontenelle Reservoir on the Green River.

Groundwater on Lenger moves as shallow subsurface flow through weathered bedrock slopes into low-lying areas near the coast before discharging into the surrounding lagoon. Estimated groundwater recharge to the island from rainfall is 506,000 gallons per day on the basis of a mean annual rainfall of 140 inches. The basal part of Lenger is composed of a relatively low-permeability post-shield-building lava flow. This flow is overlain by a more permeable conglomerate of stream deposits which is in turn overlain by a relatively low-permeability columnar-jointed lava flow. The limited land mass and relatively low-permeability lava flows that form the bedrock of Lenger are not favorable to the formation of well-defined drainage basins or large basal groundwater bodies. Numerous springs and seeps discharge shallow subsurface flow at the contact between water-bearing weathered bedrock and underlying less-permeable bedrock. Because the amount of water stored in these shallow subsurface groundwater bodies is limited, springflow and seepflow rates are directly related to rainfall. Barbosa Pond, the largest surface-water body on Lenger, contained 162,000 gallons of water on June 19, 1991. On June 20, 1991, springflow into the pond increased from 0.6 gallons per minute during base-flow conditions to 21 gallons per minute during a 4-hour period of rain that totaled 0.74 inches. The water from Barbosa Pond contains iron and manganese in concentrations that may cause problems in a water-supply system. Small-scale development of ground water, such as was done at Barbosa Pond by the Japanese, is possible by tapping water stored in colluvial talus deposits that flank the base of Mosher hill. The source of water in these deposits is from seeps and springs that have low base flows; however, additional quantities of water could be obtained from these deposits by widening or deepening the capture area of wells used to develop these deposits. If sufficient storage facilities are built, water from these deposits would be available during drought conditions.

Recharge to the freshwater lens is estimated to be 125,000 gallons per day on the basis of a mean annual rainfall of 120 inches. The long-term average sustainable yield is estimated to be about 17,300 gallons per day. The estimated demand for water is about 13,500 gallons per day. Shallow-vertical-tube wells or horizontal-infiltration wells could be used to develop the freshwater lens. The effect of development on the lens can be determined by monitoring the chloride concentration of water from a network of shallow-water-table and deep driven wells. The groundwater resource on Kahlap can be used in conjunction with individual rainwater-catchment systems: rainwater can be used for drinking and cooking, and ground water can be used for sanitary uses. When rainwater-catchment systems fail during extended dry periods, ground water would be available to meet the total demand.

The total precipitation of 5.28 inches was close to the 3-hour, 100-year frequency and produced extensive flooding. The most serious flooding was on Twin, Brock, and Lightning Creeks. Four people died in this flood. Over 1,900 structures were damaged along the 3 creeks. There were about $3 million in damages to Oklahoma City public facilities, the majority of which were in the three basins. A study was conducted to determine the magnitude of the May 8, 1993, flood peak discharge in these three creeks in southwestern Oklahoma City and compare these peaks with published flood estimates. Flood peak-discharge estimates for these creeks were determined at 11 study sites using a stepbackwater analysis to match the flood watersurface profiles defined by high-water marks. The unit discharges during peak runoff ranged from 881 cubic feet per second per square mile for Lightning Creek at SW 44th Street to 3,570 cubic feet per second per square mile for Brock Creek at SW 59th Street. The ratios of the 1993 flood peak discharges to the Federal Emergency Management Agency 100-year flood peak discharges ranged from 1.25 to 3.29. The water-surface elevations ranged from 0.2 foot to 5.9 feet above the Federal Emergency Management Agency 500-year flood water-surface elevations. The very large flood peaks in these 3 small urban basins were the result of very intense rainfall in a short period of time, close to 100 percent runoff due to ground surfaces being essentially impervious, and the city streets acting as efficient storm sewers or tributary channels. The unit discharges compare in magnitude to other extraordinary Oklahoma urban floods. JF - USGS Branch of Information Services, Box 25286, Denver Federal Center, Denver, CO 80225 (USA). 1996.

The reservation is located mainly in the Wind River drainage basin. Ground water is used for public-supply, domestic, agricultural, and industrial purposes, and potentially for irrigation. Deposits of Quaternary age provide water for domestic and public-supply uses. Median well yields from different types of Quaternary deposits ranged from 6 to 20 gallons per minute. The Wind River Formation of Tertiary age is a major source of water for domestic and public-supply uses; well yields ranged from 0.1 to 350 gallons per minute. For the Tensleep Sandstone and Madison Limestone of Paleozoic age, wells might yield as much as 1,000 gallons per minute. The dissolved-solids concentration of water from the Little Wind River and Popo Agie River flood-plain alluvium near mountains was generally less than 400 mg/L (milligrams per liter), but with increasing distance from mountains, the range was about 600 to about 750 mg/L. Dissolved-solids concentrations of water in the Wind River Formation ranged from 211 to 5,110 mg/L. Streams provide most water used for irrigation. Discharge records from streamflow-gaging stations indicate flow characteristics of streams on the reservation are extremely variable. Average annual runoff was 122 to 1,150 acre-feet per square mile on perennial streams with gaging stations. Near the mountains, most perennial streams had dissolved-solids concentrations less than 200 mg/L, and with increasing distance from the mountains, concentrations were about 400 to 600 mg/L.

Fourteen specific issues and related goals were identified for the surface-water quantity program and a geographic information systems (GIS) data base was developed summarizing information for all surface-water stream gages that have been operated in Hawaii by the U.S. Geological Survey. Changes in status, which for some gages includes discontinuing operation, need to be considered at 42 sites where data are currently collected. The current surface-water quantity data base was determined to be adequate to address only two of the 14 specific issues and related goals. Alternatives were identified to address the areas where future issues and goals could not be adequately addressed. Options include new and expanded data collection, use of regional regression analyses, hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, and analysis and publication of existing data. A total of 47 streams were identified where additional stream-gaging stations are needed. Evaluation of the surface-water quality program was limited to a description of the U.S. Geological Survey's historical and existing programs and available analyses of data. Limitations of the program are described which primarily included lack of data regarding suspended sediment, land-use effects, quality of stream discharge to oceans, background water quality and nonpoint sources of contamination. Evaluation of the rainfall data program indicated that identified future goals could be discussed as either regional, systems related, current needs, forecasting, water quality, or trend analysis related. To address these goals, data from about 2,000 rain gages, 528 of which are active, are available. Data were found to only partially meet identified goals. Alternatives discussed to address the limitations include the need for more recording gages, primarily in areas of high rainfall. Another area of concern was the potential that many plantations will close and the effect these closings would have on continued operation of the important long-term gages they operate. Evaluation of data-collection programs in Hawaii needs to be an ongoing process. Equally important, data being collected need to be summarized and made available through data bases and published reports.

AN - 14603604; 10616465 AB - Recognition of the important ecological functions performed by wetlands have focused attention on wetland mitigation techniques. Emphasis is on replacing the function and structure of a destroyed wetland by creating, restoring, or enhancing a wetland somewhere else. Challenges and issues surrounding wetland mitigation are discussed, followed by a case study on the evaluation and design of wetland creation projects. Techniques for measuring water flows and water quality were examined, and the nature of the water, soils, and vegetation of a created vs. natural wetland was compared.

AN - 36398924; 5496 AB - PURPOSE: The exchange by Phelps Dodge Corporation, a mining company, of approximately 1,200 acres of private land (offered lands) in four parcels in Cochise, Graham, Greenlee, and Pima counties, Arizona, for approximately 3,979 acres of public lands (selected lands) adjacent to their Morenci Mine in Greenlee County, is proposed. Mining-related uses of the public lands can and are likely to occur, as allowed under the Mining Act of 1872 and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, whether or not the land exchange were completed. These uses would adversely affect vegetation, wildlife habitat, surface water resources, mineral resources, access to and through public lands, recreation on public lands, and BLM grazing income and grazing allotments; some socioeconomic resources would benefit from such foreseeable uses. Under the proposed action, implementation would result in a net gain of hydroriparian habitats and a net loss of upland habitats within the district; the provision of public access to wilderness areas and other special management areas; improved manageability of public lands within the Safford District; the loss of BLM authority over mining activities on the selected lands; and wider private property tax base in Greenlee County. Phelps Dodge would use a portion of the selected lands to support and expand current mining-related operations, with the remainder of the site used for security and environmental buffers. In addition to the proposed action, a No Action Alternative is considered in this draft EIS. The Bureau of Land Management's (BLM's) preferred alternative for the Morenci Land Exchange is the proposed action. The No Action Alternative would include increased BLM administrative responsibilities in order to oversee mining use, regulatory compliance, and reclamation on public lands within the district; and the loss of the opportunity to acquire desirable lands within three long-term management areas and dispose of federal lands that are difficult to manage. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the acquisition of the offered lands by the Bureau of Land Management would result in greater levels of protection for several species listed as threatened or endangered. The local economy would be indirectly and positively affected through increased property tax revenues. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would include unavoidable adverse impacts to three grazing allotments and to cultural resources associated with selected lands.

Preparation date: December 14, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CACHUMA PROJECT CONTRACT RENEWAL, SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36402263; 5519 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of a long-term contract for water supplies from the Cachuma Project for Santa Barbara County, California, is proposed. Since 1955, the project has diverted and stored water from the Santa Ynez River in the northern part of the county, and has delivered that water to six member units for irrigation, municipal, and industrial uses. The project has been the principal water source for the Santa Ynez Valley and South Coast communities, delivering an average of 20,000 acre-feet of water per year (ACFY). The 40-year contract expired in May 1995. The Bureau of Reclamation owns and operates the Bradbury Dam, located approximately 25 miles northwest of Santa Barbara; all other project facilities, including Lake Cachuma, are managed by the Cachuma Project Authority, a government entity formed by the six member units in 1993. Issues of concern include the effects of contract renewal on water supply, agricultural production, socioeconomic conditions, groundwater resources, fish and other aquatic species, endangered and threatened species, recreation, land use, cultural resources, and Indian trust assets. Three main alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. Under the No Action Alternative, the contract would be renewed in its present form with some changes in water prices. The preferred alternative (Alternative 3) would incorporate features of the original contract, with new water rates and a fund to be used for environmental restoration and other purposes. The Renewal Fund would be financed by levying a $10 per acre-foot fee on water delivered to the member units. Fifteen sub-alternatives, each a variation of Alternative 3, are also discussed in this final EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under several of the sub-alternatives, the release of water from the dam would be increased considerably in order to improve fish and aquatic habitat and riparian conditions. Under a balanced-use alternative, some environmental enhancements would take place and consumption would be maintained at current levels. Retail water rates would be lowered under the preferred alternative. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the sub-alternatives with high volumes of environmental releases, increased water rates and severe shortages of water for human uses would result. Water shortages, in turn, would adversely affect economic growth and agricultural production. Use of private wells by agricultural operations would possibly result in overdraft conditions in local groundwater basins. LEGAL MANDATES: Reclamation Project Act of 1939, as amended.

AN - 36396155; 5490 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for Lava Beds National Monument in Siskiyou and Modoc counties, California, is proposed. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would continue current management and conditions at Lava Beds, are considered in this draft EIS. Lands at Petroglyph Point would not be acquired, resources would not be adequately protected, and no additional steps would be taken to accommodate visitor interest and use. Resource quality and visitor use experience would decline. The proposed action (Alternative B, the Minimum Requirements Alternative) would provide for staffing, facilities, and boundary changes to provide for long-term resource protection. It would also include facilities and services sufficient to provide for essential visitor services. Physical features would include boundary additions to Petroglyph Point, improvements at that area to reduce damage to the petroglyphs from wind erosion and vandalism, a small-scale research facility to support the recruitment of volunteers for cost-effective research and resource-management projects, a visitor contact station at the north end of the monument, and minor increases in administrative support facilities. Alternative C (the Enhanced Visitor Experience Alternative) would resemble Alternative B in terms of resource management and protection, but would provide a broader range of visitor service. Increased interpretive and law enforcement staffing would allow a wider range of interpretive programs and faster response to emergency situations. A visitor center at the north end of the monument and a new and larger visitor facility at the Indian Well area would increase the range of exhibits and visitor services. Additional administrative facilities would be needed to support the greater staffing. The estimated capital costs of the proposed action are $7.5 million, while annual operation and maintenance would be approximately $1.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Major beneficial impacts would accrue in the area of cultural resource protection and visitor use. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The added structures would visually disrupt the natural and historic scene, and some vegetation would be removed in development areas, with consequent minor adverse impacts on wildlife.

Preparation date: December 11, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SANTA FE PACIFIC GOLD CORPORATION, LONE TREE MINE EXPANSION, HUMBOLDT COUNTY, NEVADA. AN - 36399672; 5486 AB - PURPOSE: The continued operation and expansion by Santa Fe Pacific Gold Corporation (SFPG) of its Lone Tree Mine, located approximately 34 miles east of Winnemucca in Humboldt County, Nevada, is proposed. The Lone Tree Mine is situated on private land owned or controlled by SFPG and on public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Two alternatives, including the proposed action, modified with selected mitigation measures, and a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Mine expansion would involve construction of an open pit mine, overburden disposal facilities, haul roads, and reclamation on private land. In addition, activities would expand an existing tailings facility, continue operation of the mine dewatering system, continue operation of water cooling facilities, continue operation of a water treatment plant, expand existing heap leach pads, and reclaim surface disturbances, all located on private land in the Lone Tree Mine. Total land disturbance under existing and pending Nevada authorizations is approximately 2,553.5 acres. Additional land disturbance under the proposed action would be approximately 1,023.6 acres, of which 847.6 acres are public lands. Approximately 32 million tons of ore would be extracted and 114.5 acres of mine pit disturbance on public land would occur under the proposed action. With the exception of approximately 405.5 acres associated with the mine pit, reclamation would restore vegetation on proposed disturbances. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Positive effects would occur as a result of mine expansion, in turn as a result of extended mine life. The extended mine life would provide longer-term employment and associated taxes and revenues. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some private wells would experience reduced water levels, Humboldt River streamflow would be slightly reduced, and habitat quality for aquatic organisms would decrease as a result of dewatering activities. Expansion would disturb approximately 1,024 additional acres of vegetation. Loss of wildlife habitat and displacement of wildlife from affected habitat would occur. There would be a loss of grazing potential within direct disturbance areas during the life of the mine. Visual resources would be adversely affected by expansion activities. Fifty-two cultural resource sites, including four which are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, are located within the area of direct effect for the proposed project.

Preparation date: December 8, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - EL RANCHO SUBSTATION, SANTA FE COUNTY, NEW MEXICO. AN - 36396835; 5615 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation by Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative, Inc., of a 69/12.47-kilovolt (69/12.47-kV) distribution substation and related facilities in the El Rancho area of Santa Fe County, New Mexico, is proposed. The area is presently being served by a temporary substation located on San Ildefonso Pueblo trust lands; the Pueblo have indicated that the easement for this site would not be extended. Construction of a new substation was begun in 1990, but was halted just prior to completion in order to conduct a cultural resources assessment. In 1991, a judge ordered that a more comprehensive assessment be undertaken. One factor in this ruling was the recent nomination of the area adjacent to the project for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Completion of the project would require two federal actions: the Bureau of Indian Affairs must approve an easement for the substation and its transmission /distribution lines on tribal trust lands; and the Rural Utilities Service must agree to release loan funds. The project site would require 1.0 acre of land, which would be fenced. Substation equipment would include terminal and switching for the 69-kV transmission line, a power transformer, a regulator bank, four electronic vacuum reclosers, a control house, and supports for the bus work and low-voltage terminations. The project would also involve the construction of the 69-kV transmission line and three to four underground distribution tie lines. Seven possible sites are considered in this draft EIS; the preferred site is Site Number 2, the site originally selected for the project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A new substation in the El Rancho area would provide a reliable source of electricity to an area experiencing rapid population growth, and integrate the area within the regional distribution system, thereby reducing the length of outages in the region. Construction of the transmission line would not preclude the continuance of land uses in areas crossed by the easement. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would have short-term adverse impacts on air quality and noise levels. The site would also create a visual intrusion of the existing landscape and could detract from the adjacent historic property, where traditional Matachines dances are held.

AN - 36403318; 5452 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan for the management, use, and development of the Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument, in Gooding and Twin Falls counties, Idaho, is proposed. Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument was established in 1988 with a unique legislative mandate to provide a center for continuing paleontological research and education. The monument contains, in terms of quality, quantity, and diversity, the world's richest known deposits of fossils from the late Pilocene (Blancan) time period, the Hagerman Horse Quarry (a designated national landmark first excavated by the Smithsonian Institution in 1929), and a segment of the Oregon Trail National Historic Trail. The monument encompasses 4,280 acres of fossil-bearing bluffs sweeping up from the Snake River to a plateau 550 feet above and across the river from the town of Hagerman, about 90 miles southeast of Boise in south-central Idaho. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would continue the present course of action, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 1, the minimum requirements alternative, would change the present course of action only as much as were necessary to meet minimum requirements of the legislative mandate. Under Alternative 2, the proposed action, a fully functional research center and museum would be built and operated, with the National Park Service (NPS) performing research and education functions in conjunction with non-NPS partners. Actions common to all alternatives would include the housing of employees only in the private sector, restricting visitors to designated roads and trails in most areas, prohibiting camping in the Monument to protect paleontological resources, constructing the Bluff and Emigrant Trails to provide visitor historic site opportunities, and continuing hunting and fishing as legislatively mandated. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The management plan would allow the National Park Service to meet the legislative mandate to provide a center for continuing paleontological research, protect and manage the Monument's resources, and address public access and transportation, social, recreational, and economic issues. Socioeconomic impacts would depend on visitation levels, but the proposed action would provide significant economic benefits to the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would disturb 4.5 more acres than existing conditions. There would also be some adverse impacts on the cultural significance of the proposed research center and museum site. Significant road improvements would be needed for access to the monument and its facilities. LEGAL MANDATES: Public Law 95-625.

Preparation date: November 9, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - OIL AND GAS LEASING ON THE UMATILLA AND MALHEUR NATIONAL FORESTS; ASOTIN, COLUMBIA, GARFIELD, AND WALLA WALLA COUNTIES, WASHINGTON, AND BAKER, GRANT, HARNEY, MALHEUR, MORROW, UMATILLA, UNION, WALLAWA, AND WHEELER COUNTIES, OREGON. AN - 36401971; 5430 AB - PURPOSE: The leasing of lands for oil and gas exploration within the Umatilla and Malheur national forests, located in Oregon and Washington, is proposed. While exploration activity has previously taken place in the area, the forests have no known or probable oil and gas deposits. Four alternatives, including a No Action (Current Management) Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under all of the alternatives, two to four wells would be developed and access roads would be built across the area. Well sites and access clearings would undergo rehabilitation and reclamation as soon as the wells were abandoned. Under all three of the action alternatives, amendments to the forest plans would be required. The preferred alternative (Alternative III) would differ from the No Action Alternative primarily in the administrative processes stipulated by them. Under the preferred alternative, approximately 2,530,321 acres would be leased under standard lease terms and 1,512,497 acres under supplemental stipulations, with 526,695 acres being legally excluded from leasing. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under all of the alternatives, some revenue for the U.S. Treasury and local communities would result. Under the preferred alternative, supplemental stipulations would be specifically designed to protect fragile ecosystems; visual, cultural, and paleontological resources; recreational activities; and wilderness areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The clearing of vegetation for wells and roads would adversely affect both ground cover vegetation and forested vegetation, including that on land suitable for timber production, and produce short-term effects on water quality and soils. Production activities and roadways would adversely affect air and visual quality, soils, vegetation, wildlife habitat, and range. Special protective stipulations under the preferred alternative would increase the cost of exploration and development, and severely restrict drilling opportunities.

Preparation date: November 8, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NATURAL BRIDGES NATIONAL MONUMENT, SAN JUAN COUNTY, UTAH. AN - 36398409; 5448 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for Natural Bridges National Monument in San Juan County, Utah, is proposed. The 7,435.49-acre Monument is located 43 miles west of the community of Blanding. Issues of concern identified in the formation of alternative plans include providing a balance between protection of the natural resources and the provision of opportunities for visitor use; the inadequate facilities at the visitor center; the insufficient number of campsites at the area; the protection of viewsheds; wilderness suitability, and the determination of wild river status for the section of the White Canyon that lies within the Park; the access to facilities for persons with disabilities; and the limited in-park staff housing. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the No Action alternative, existing management activities would continue, and management zoning and resource management plans would be implemented as funding allowed. Existing visitor facilities would be maintained to support current activities; roads would continue to be repaired as needed; and required improvements for safety, sanitation, and accessibility for disabled persons would be accomplished as funding permitted. Under the proposed action, the management plan would be in effect for 10 to 15 years. The proposed action would provide an additional 900 to 1,400 square feet of office space at the administrative/visitor center and upgrade visitor orientation information and facilities, as guided by the Park's Plan for Interpretation. The small picnic area on Bridge View Drive would be removed and the area rehabilitated, and a comfort station and benches would be located along the drive. Housing for up to 12 employees would be realized in the next 10 to 15 years. The visitor center parking area would be redesigned to improve vehicular circulation. Garage and storage space would be added in the maintenance area to improve operations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would avoid adverse impacts which could be expected under the No Action alternative, including minor disturbance to soil and vegetation adjacent to roads, parking lots, picnic area, camping areas, and buildings resulting from undirected foot traffic and increased visitation; increased motor vehicle emissions; and diminishing water resources. Museum collections could increase as a result of data collection and mitigation of archaeological sites disturbed by proposed construction activities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction or alteration of facilities called for in the proposed action would result in the permanent removal of vegetation and topsoil, changes in site topography, and introduction of impermeable surfaces such as compacted dirt and gravel. Some rodents and other small mammals would likely be displaced by construction, as would some smaller bird species, reptiles, and amphibians. Construction would result in a temporary increase in particulate matter and motor vehicle emissions would also increase.

Preparation date: November 6, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTHERN NEVADA WATER AUTHORITY TREATMENT AND TRANSMISSION FACILITY, CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA. AN - 36401772; 5443 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a new water treatment and transmission facility to withdraw existing State of Nevada allocation of Colorado River water from Lake Mead, treat it, and convey it to the Las Vegas Valley (Valley), located within Clark County, Nevada, is proposed. The Valley is dependent on a single water treatment and delivery facility for 85 percent of its water, and the capacity of the existing facilities to deliver Colorado River water will be insufficient to meet projected water demands by 1997. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. An in-valley transmission system to convey water from the proposed treatment facilities to various delivery locations would be developed under all of the alternatives. This water transmission system would consist of transmission pipelines, pumping stations, and reservoirs. The new facilities would comprise a new raw water intake; new transmission facilities including underground pipelines, tunnels, and aboveground booster pumping stations; and a water treatment facility. The action alternatives would comprise these elements in various combinations. The preferred alternative (Alternative SI-1C) would comprise an intake at Saddle Island, use of the existing River Mountains tunnel, and a treatment facility on the western slope of the River Mountains. Federal actions would be the issuance of permits, rights-of-way, and modification of the existing water delivery/service contracts. These actions would allow the Southern Nevada Water Authority to construct new facilities on Federal lands adjacent to Lake Mead, and withdraw, treat and convey the water to the Valley. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would develop a reliable and demand-responsive municipal water system. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction of a new intake facility would adversely alter the public viewshed within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and the City of Henderson. During construction, emissions of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and particulate matter would exceed pollutant threshold levels. Under the preferred alternative, approximately 1,200 acres of desert tortoise habitat would be adversely affected by construction. LEGAL MANDATES: Water Resources Development Act of 1988.

Preparation date: November 3, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CARLSBAD CAVERNS NATIONAL PARK, EDDY COUNTY, NEW MEXICO. AN - 36406840; 5439 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for Carlsbad Caverns National Park in Eddy County, New Mexico, is proposed. The plan would put forth the basic management philosophy and provide the strategies for addressing issues and achieving management objectives over the next 10 to 15 years. Three alternatives are considered in this draft EIS, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1) under which the existing management direction would be continued. Additionally, the park would provide for visitor use and respond to resource management issues and concerns as funding allowed, but no major change in management direction would be initiated. Under the proposed plan (Alternative 2), resource management and visitor use decisions would be based on scientific research, inventory, and monitoring. Development and resource protection plans would be based on collected data showing the impact of human activities and facilities on the cavern and other park resources. Opportunities for visitors to enjoy and learn about park resources would be increased, special off-trail tours would continue, the opening of Ogle Cave to tours would be studied, and additional surface trails would be provided. The visitor center would be remodeled to be more efficient, and a ranger residence would be provided near Slaughter Canyon. Alternative 3 would remove many surface functions and facilities above the cavern within five years in order to ensure the protection of subsurface resources. To replace these functions, a new visitor orientation/transit center and a National Park Service operations center would be developed at the base of the escarpment. Visitor use of the cavern would be monitored and restricted to minimize further damage to cavern resources, and no special off-trail tours would be offered. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Alternative 2 and Alternative 3 would better protect the park's resources than the No Action Alternative. Alternative 2 would increase visitor opportunities and provide more in-depth interpretation, while Alternative 3 would limit opportunities but improve interpretation. Alternative 2 and Alternative 3 would both have beneficial long-term socioeconomic impacts. The risk of an accident that could close the cave to public entry, adversely affecting the local tourist industry, would be reduced under Alternative 3. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, facility and trail development would result in minor disturbance to soils and vegetation. Under the action alternatives, some 1.3 acres of vegetation and wildlife habitat would be destroyed. Because the proposed action would defer some resource protection actions in order to establish a scientific basis for decision-making, some potential resource threats that would be eliminated under Alternative 3 would remain over the short term under Alternative 2.

Preparation date: November 2, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NEW HAMPSHIRE ROUTE 16/US ROUTE 302 IMPROVEMENTS, CARROLL COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE. AN - 36406783; 5427 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of New Hampshire (NH) Route 16 and US 302 through the villages of Conway and North Conway, New Hampshire, is proposed. These improvements are considered necessary to solve major traffic congestion and safety problems along this corridor, between the Madison/Albany town line to the south and the Conway/Bartlett town line to the north. In addition to serving as a regional highway, the Route 16/302 corridor serves as the primary roadway for local traffic in and through Conway and North Conway. Over the last 25 years, a great deal of tourism-related development has occurred in the Mount Washington Valley, primarily in the Route 16/302 corridor. In addition to a No-Build Alternative and a number of Transportation Systems Management (TSM) and Transportation Demand Management alternatives, a total of 14 build alternatives were considered in the draft EIS of June 1993. The preferred alternative (Alternative 9A) would involve the phased construction of a two-lane bypass south and east of Conway that would be approximately 12 miles long; the bypass would extend east of the Mineral Spring Wetland System and west of Pudding Pond. This alternative would also provide for the upgrading of Route 16/302 within Conway in the vicinity of Mountain Valley Mall and Settlers Green; consolidated curb cuts from the intersection of Routes 16 /302 to Artist Falls Road; minor rehabilitation of US 302 from NH Route 113 to Route 16 to facilitate construction of the bypass; and some TSM improvements. In addition, all local roads upgraded as part of the project would have adequate shoulders that would function as bicycle ways. Following the draft EIS comment period, the preferred alternative was modified to incorporate the West Side Road Connector as a means to defer an immediate need for bypass construction. The estimated construction costs of the modified preferred alternative are $84.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The bypass would relieve traffic congestion and improve safety along the Route 16/302 corridor, and improve local travel and regional access to the northern part of the state. Traffic congestion would diminish within the two villages, enhancing their historic character. Emergency vehicle access would improve. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 52 residences and 2 businesses; the loss of 322.1 total acres, including 8.4 acres of farmland and 27.4 acres of wetlands; the relocation of approximately 2,400 linear feet of a brook; the disturbance of two historic properties and three historic districts; and the acquisition of approximately 15.3 acres of parkland, causing some fragmentation of habitat, truncation of recreational trails, loss of public access to undeveloped land, and loss of aesthetic qualities. Some residences would experience an increase in noise levels. Approximately five acres of floodplain would also be adversely affected.

The area-weighted average water level in the aquifer declined 1.54 ft during 1980-94, or about 0.11 ft annually. A slower rate of decline since 1980 is largely attributed to the average water level rise of 1.88 ft in Nebraska. The slower rate of water level decline after 1980 is ascribed to above normal precipitation, irrigation development in areas of slower rates of depletion, and reduced groundwater pumpage associated with advances in irrigation technology.

AN - 36401676; 5421 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a forest resource management plan to establish land use allocations and management guidelines for Bureau of Land Management (BLM) administered lands in the Dixie Resource Area (DRA) of the Dixie National Forest in Washington County, Utah, is proposed. The DRA administers 629,005 surface acres and 46,990 acres of subsurface federal mineral estate. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would represent current management including completion of a wild and scenic river inventory, are considered in this draft EIS. Elements common to all alternatives would include applying protective measures in order to prevent degradation of the DRA's presently deteriorating high air quality; keeping public lands free from unauthorized hazardous material generation, storage, and transport; maintaining an inventory of authorized activities utilizing hazardous waste on public lands; suppressing fire where necessary to protect life, property, and resource values; using prescribed burning on an project-by-project basis; eliminating all or portions of 7 to 11 livestock grazing allotments within desert tortoise habitat; and managing portions of the Beaver Dam Mountains Wilderness Area for uses other than wilderness. Alternative B would represent a multiple use approach to resource management emphasizing development; 14,076 acres would be identified for potential acquisition, and 29,820 acres of public land would be available for disposal. Seven easements, twelve utility, and two pipeline corridors, would be included. Mineral operations would be open on 566,305 acres. Alternative C (the preferred alternative) would present a multiple use approach to resource management emphasizing balance between resource development and resource protection; 32,686 acres would be identified for potential acquisition and 16,001 acres of public land would be available for disposal. Alternative D would represent a multiple use approach to resource management emphasizing preservation of biological systems and scenic values; 51,890 acres would be identified for potential acquisition, and 7,220 acres of public land would be available for disposal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of the resource management plan would allow BLM to assure the most appropriate use of public lands where rapid urban growth is conflicting with natural resources, allow for the future management of public lands for outdoor recreation, and examine the influence of proposed water storage projects on natural resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The action alternatives would variously restrict or reduce mineral resource development, commercial pinyon-juniper timber harvest, reservoir development, and off-highway vehicle use and other recreational opportunities; or wilderness areas, wildlife habitat, visual resources, and the number of river segments eligible for wild and scenic designation.

Preparation date: October 30, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TIMUCAN ECOLOGICAL AND HISTORIC PRESERVE, DUVAL COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 36398294; 5411 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a 15-year management plan for the Timucuan Ecological and Historical Preserve, a salt marsh and estuarine ecosystem located in the valley between the lower St. Johns and Nassau Rivers in Duval County in northeastern Florida is proposed. The region has been occupied for over 6,000 years and contains numerous historic and prehistoric sites, including mission sites established by early Spanish settlers. The preserve was established in 1988, and as of 1995, only about 30 percent of the land was owned by the National Park Service (NPS). As a result, the management plan must present strategies for dealing with diverse ownership. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. All four alternatives would promote environmental awareness while providing for visitor understanding and appreciation of preserve resources and stories. Each alternative would provide interpretation of ten historic sites in the area: San Gabriel, San Esteban, Dos Hermanas, Fort St. George, St. Johns Town, San Juan del Puerto mission site, Thomas Creek battlefield, Zephaniah Kingsley plantation, Spanish-American war battery, and San Juan del Puerto mission site. Under the proposed action (Alternative 3), the NPS would take the lead in promoting comprehensive arrangements and agreements involving all of the agencies charged with managing land uses and private development in and around the preserve. Cooperation and regulation would be used to complement and supplement NPS land acquisition. The NPS and other agencies would acquire exceptional areas possessing outstanding resource or public use values that are threatened. Concession-operated tour boat locations would be determined through cooperative efforts. This final EIS has been issued in an abbreviated format. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the cultural resource values of the area would be preserved and visitor experiences enhanced under the proposed plan. Cooperative management would help to eliminate the problem of habitat fragmentation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some marginal loss of habitat and degradation of water quality would occur as a result of planned development on preserve uplands.

AN - 36396018; 5378 AB - PURPOSE: The establishment of a development concept plan for Santa Rosa Island on the Channel Islands National Park, located in Santa Barbara County, California, is proposed. The plan would guide development of support facilities and visitor use on the island over the next several years as the information base were developed to make basic decisions on long-term resource management and visitor use on the island. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative B), are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative A would expand National Park Service (NPS) operations; it would provide the infrastructure and facilities to support maintenance and protection of resources and historic structures, research and further study of both natural and cultural resources, limited experimental restoration of natural systems, and the provision of limited visitor use opportunities. This final version of the plan has been slightly revised from the draft plan in order to relocate all park housing to a less visually prominent and sensitive location. Development would occur as funds become available, and would total approximately $1,630,000. The No Action Alternative would continue the existing NPS operation with limited public use, slow progress toward collection of resource data and completion of essential research, and continued substandard living conditions for employees required to live on the island. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The development plan would allow greater visitor use of the island. Current staff housing in trailers would be replaced by four duplexes and two bunkhouses. All new development would be located in visually non-sensitive areas and avoid adverse visual impacts. Intrusions would be removed from an historic ranch scene. Roads would be maintained to minimum standards to provide needed access. Island road inventory would be completed. Restoration research and pilot project capabilities in numerous disciplines would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Soil and vegetation would be disturbed on up to five acres of land. Minor wildlife habitat disruption would result from development. Minor excavation for development has limited potential for adverse impact on fossils and cultural resources.

Preparation date: October 12, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TUCKER HILL PERLITE PROJECT, LAKE COUNTY, OREGON. AN - 36406454; 5362 AB - PURPOSE: The development by Atlas Perlite, Inc., (Atlas) of a 15- to 20-acre perlite quarry with an associated waste rock dump and access road on Tucker Hill which is located approximately 35 miles northwest of the town of Lakeview, in Lake County, south central Oregon, is proposed. Perlite is used in the manufacture of ceiling tiles for building construction, as a filter aid, and for a variety of agricultural purposes, including potting soil. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative D), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative A), the ore would be mined at Tucker Hill and hauled to Lakeview, where it would be crushed and sorted and shipped to markets in the northwest. A total of 37.7 acres would be disturbed, of which approximately 36 are administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The remaining two acres would be on private land. Atlas would operate the quarry for 10 years. The preferred alternative would be similar to the proposed action with the exception of stipulating that the waste rock would be hauled off Tucker Hill and deposited in the existing Lake County gravel pit, adjacent to Highway 31, where it would be used either as road maintenance material or by the county to aid in final reclamation when the pit was exhausted and closed out. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would help meet the demand for products made from perlite in the northwest. The development of the Tucker Hill quarry would provide a close and relatively inexpensive source of perlite which could result in lower prices to consumers and in reduced use of fossil fuels needed for shipping. Some 18 direct and indirect jobs would be provided under the action alternatives, and some tax revenue increases would be experienced by local governments. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The action alternatives would adversely affect, in varying degrees, Native American traditional values related to plants, hunting, visual integrity, and religious uses. They could also adversely affect 10 cultural sites including two stacked stone features. Vegetation/soils and wildlife habitat would be permanently lost on 20 acres, and temporarily lost on 11.7 to 17.7 acres.

Preparation date: September 29, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BAL'DIYAKA INTERPRETIVE CENTER AT GREGORY POINT ON THE OREGON COAST, COOS COUNTY, OREGON. AN - 36403667; 5356 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of an interpretive visitor center at Gregory Point, near Coos Bay in Coos County, on the South Coast of Oregon, is proposed. The project is being proposed by the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians in partnership with the Coos Bay District of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the Bal'diyaka Interpretive Center would provide a multifaceted heritage tourism facility, and interpret the natural history of Oregon's southern coast; the cultural heritage of the Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians; and the history of local U.S. Coast Guard activities. It would contain a 51,000-square-foot main building, including a lighthouse/observation tower; a recreated coastal Indian village; an ethnobiological interpretive trail; vehicular circulation and parking; and utilities infrastructure. As many as 266,000 people per year would visit the center, which would generate economic benefits for the community. Under the other two action alternatives, the interpretive center would be located at either Yoakam Point or Coos Head. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide historic accuracy and authenticity, preserve and restore tribal culture, satisfy the demands for heritage tourism and ecotourism, deliver a high quality educational and recreational experience, and develop economic opportunities for the community. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Because Gregory Point and Yoakam Point are subject to wave erosional forces, changes to the vegetation near the bluff line resulting from visitors going off trails and near the edge of the headlands could lead to increased erosion and sloughing of the headland; and because of the presence of water features at Coos Head, construction could lead to increased soil erosion there. Approximately five acres of forest would be cleared for construction of the interpretive center on any of the sites. Wildlife habitat fragmentation would occur, in varying degrees, on any of the sites. Indirect adverse impacts on wetlands could occur at two of the proposed construction sites. Potential adverse impacts on archaeological and historical resources by vandalism or trampling could occur at Gregory Point, because of the presence of resources on or near the site. Paleontological resources at the Gregory Point and Yoakam Point sites could be adversely affected by erosion.

Preparation date: September 27, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - YELLOWSTONE PIPELINE EASEMENT RENEWAL; LAKE, MISSOULA, AND SANDERS COUNTIES, MONTANA. AN - 36403055; 5360 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the easement for Yellowstone Pipe Line Company for a 68.7-mile segment of its existing 10-inch pipeline that crosses the Flathead Indian Reservation of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, located in western Montana, is proposed. Roughly 56 miles of the pipeline crosses the reservation. The pipeline carries refined petroleum products from refineries in the Billings area to terminal facilities in Spokane, Washington, Fairchild Air Force Base, and Grant County Airport in Moses Lake, Washington. The pipelines satisfies roughly one-third of the public demand for petroleum products in the Spokane area, eastern Washington, and northern Idaho. In addition, it provides all of the military jet fuel used by the air force base. The pipeline currently transports 28,641 barrels per day west of Missoula. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would involve the continued use of the existing pipeline and its right-of-way, subject to various maintenance checks and safety procedures. These procedures would include semiannual pipe-to-soil surveys; cathodic protection close interval surveys in 1996 and 2006; the use of advanced technology for internal inspection of corrosion-related defects in 1999 and 2009; hydrostatic pressure testing with water for identification of manufacturing-related defects in 2003 and 2012; and improved capabilities for remote detection of leaks or spills. In addition, the spill response plan would be amended to deal with the possibility of a leak or a spill on reservation lands, and spill-response equipment would be positioned at a central location on the reservation. The other action alternative, which is the preferred alternative of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, would relocate 10.5 miles of pipeline to avoid geologically unstable or environmentally sensitive areas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would continue to supply petroleum products to areas that are dependent on delivery by pipeline. The cost of gasoline in those areas would increase dramatically if the pipeline were shut down. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the pipeline would run parallel to major water bodies for 19.7 miles; a spill or leak in those locations would have serious adverse environmental effects. During a 20-year period, the pipeline would experience up to 2.3 ruptures or leaks, resulting in an environmental release of up to 11,861 barrels.

Preparation date: September 27, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GARY MARINA, GARY, LAKE COUNTY, INDIANA. AN - 36407061; 5351 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a marina on Lake Michigan in Gary, Indiana, is proposed. The project, to be sponsored by the city of Gary, would be located between the USX breakwater to the west and Marquette Park to the east. The preferred 220-acre site would lie near lands administered by the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, which encompasses 14,000 noncontiguous acres. The marina development would ultimately contain 1,300 to 1,400 boat slips, which would be built in phases as demand warrants. Supporting marine services would include diesel and gas fuel facilities, retail sales serving boating activities, boat/motor maintenance and service facilities, dry storage provisions, and public use areas. The marina design would also support nonboating recreational activities; both boating and nonboating activities would be supported by parking facilities, rest rooms, bathhouses, and other services. In addition, the site would support development of associated residential and commercial uses. Development of offshore facilities would involve dredging and filling to create a small boat harbor and sites for land-based facilities and construction of a steel-sheet breakwater. The harbor would have an interior depth of 8 to 10 feet, while the marina entrance would have a depth of 12 feet. The moorage system would be either a fixed-pier or floating dock arrangement. A launching ramp and a service island would also be provided. The marina would be accessed via a new road constructed on the existing roadbed of the Indiana Harbor Belt (IHB) Railroad. Five alternative alignments for the access route which would minimize impacts to National Park Service property are considered in this draft supplement to the draft EIS of April 1989. Under the proposed action, the access road would involve about 3,100 linear feet of the IHB railroad, or roughly 9.4 acres. The proposed route would follow the IHB corridor from US 12/20 north and east to the NIPSCO transmission line right-of-way. The roadway would then be routed onto USX property, and continue northeast to the west boundary of the national lakeshore. The access route would then turn north, traveling adjacent to, but outside, the National Park Service boundary for the remainder of its distance to the marine site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Marina development would meet the regional demand for recreational boating and lakefront facilities for public use in Gary. One site would support the development of additional housing and business uses. A new opening to be made in the USX breakwater would enhance water circulation and provide access to a sheltered sedimentary environment for fish. Under the proposed action, the construction of the access route would destroy 13.1 fewer acres of vegetation than the route considered in the draft EIS. It would also avoid adversely affecting the blue lupine, the host plant for the Karner blue butterfly, an endangered species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging would result in temporary turbidity and alteration of bottom topography. Some trace metals could be released during construction, but the metals would not be highly soluble. Under the proposed action, the construction of the access route would destroy 4.1 acres of vegetation.

AN - 36401279; 5344 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a resource management plan (RMP) that provides a comprehensive framework for managing mineral deposits on federal lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) located in Texas is proposed. The key management issue involves the leasing and development of federal oil and gas resources in Texas. Three alternatives are considered in this draft EIS, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would include a continuation of present resource allocation levels and management practices; oil and gas leases would continue to be issued with standard lease provisions as well as with surface resource protection stipulations required by executive orders, laws, regulations of practices. The Intensive Surface Protection Alternative (Alternative B) would place primary emphasis on protecting important environmental values through the use of additional leasing stipulations. The No Leasing Alternative (Alternative C) would remove federal oil and gas from availability for leasing and development. It would change management direction so that the issue is resolved in a manner that places highest priority on the preservation of the oil and gas resource and protection of associated surface resources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Oil and gas leasing and development could benefit the state's economy. Employment, earnings, and tax impacts would result from development activities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, leasing and development activities would raise air quality concerns including dust and emissions associated with road and drill pad construction and drilling operations. The creation and release of concentrations of harmful gases (such as hydrogen sulfide) at drill sites could occur. The development of oil and gas resources could adversely affect surface and groundwater through surface erosion, the contamination of streams and aquifers, the production of brine waters, and the introduction of toxic substances into the environment. The construction of access roads, drill pads and pipelines would result in the removal of vegetation and the loss of wildlife habitat. Cultural and paleontological resources could also be adversely affected. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

Preparation date: September 19, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ROUND MOUNTAIN MILL AND TAILINGS FACILITY, NYE COUNTY, NEVADA. AN - 36401647; 5338 AB - PURPOSE: The construction, operation, and reclamation by the Smoky Valley Common Operation of a mill and tailings facility at the Round Mountain Mine, located in Nye County, Nevada, is proposed. The proposed facilities would comprise an expansion of the existing operation at the Round Mountain Mine in order to improve the recovery of gold from ore that is being mined from the existing open pit. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, ancillary facilities would include a new primary crusher; a power line; fresh water, reclaim water, and tailings pipelines; and a septic system. The facilities would be located on approximately 757 acres of public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Of this acreage, approximately 250 acres would occur on public lands outside the existing permit boundary. Construction would begin in early 1996; operation of the mill and tailings facility would begin in 1997 and continue until 2008. The proposed gold mill would process up to 11,000 tons of unoxidized ore per day, and the new primary crusher would rate at 11,000 tons per eight-hour day. The tailings impoundment would ultimately accommodate approximately 57 million tons of mill tailings. Additional components of the proposed action would include ore and growth medium stockpiles; a cyanide destruction system to maintain non-toxic levels of weak acid dissociable cyanide in the tailings impoundment; and a new access/haul road. Two other action alternatives also under consideration include a range management alternative that would involve fencing a narrow grazing corridor between the proposed expansion and State Highway 376, and a siting alternative for the tailings impoundment and associated process ponds. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in the employment of an average of 104 workers during the construction period and 43 permanent workers through the life of the operation. Additional construction employment would peak in 1996 at around 200. The project would generate approximately $13.9 million in payroll during construction and an annual operations payroll of about $2.3 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would include the generation and permanent disposal of approximately 57 million tons of mill tailings, the disturbance of approximately 757 acres of alluvial fan, and the extraction of an additional 860,000 ounces of gold from the geologic resource. Pit dewatering has to date lowered the average elevation of groundwater by approximately 500 feet; the proposed action would permit continued mining activity expected to lower the groundwater level an additional 300 feet. It would also result in slight increases in the levels of fugitive dust and inhalable particulates in the project vicinity. Development of the tailings facility would adversely affect visual resources along State Highway 376. Noise levels would increase slightly for Hadley residents.

AN - 36406414; 5329 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is proposed. The park is located in the heart of the historic old city of Philadelphia and includes all or portions of 17 city blocks. The park includes 45 acres in downtown Philadelphia in the Society Hill and Old City neighborhoods. The park contains Independence Square World Heritage Site and national historical landmarks such as the First Bank, Second Bank, American Philosophical Society Hall, Carpenters' Hall, Christ Church, and the Deshler-Morris House. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for national significance. Congress authorized the park on June 28, 1948, and it was formally established July 4, 1956. The most recent management plan was the master plan completed in 1971. Since that time, the boundary was extended to incorporate Independence Mall State Park and other land, the visitor center and maintenance facility were completed, and visitation increased. Historic buildings have shown the effect of time and use, and the needs and expectations of visitors and park personnel have changed. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would minimally meet the requirements of the park's enabling legislation, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative B would concentrate on the historic sites and the park setting, focus on the 1775-1800 period of significance, and relocate the Liberty Bell Pavilion to the second block of Independence Mall. Alternative C would educate visitors about the evolution of democracy from the historic period to the present by expanding outreach of and site- specific interpretive programs. Alternative D would reinforce the park's identity and interpretive mission by building on the synergy of the park with the historic neighborhoods and cooperating institutions. Alternative E (the preferred alternative) would share with Alternative D its primary goal; a new sequence of arrival and orientation would bring visitors first to Independence Mall, where they would find a new, regional visitor center jointly operated by the National Park Service and the City of Philadelphia. Alternative F would combine the primary goals of both Alternative D and Alternative E with the Liberty Bell Pavilion relocation and other development options. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new management plan would fill the requirements of park managers, reflect the needs of visitors and the community, and provide for the continued protection of the park's resources. All of the action alternatives would probably result in an increase in visitation to and recreational use of the park. Elements common to all of the action alternatives, which would include provisions for the addition of trees and grass to the landscaped area of the park and the elimination of bus idling on city streets adjacent to the park, would improve air quality and reduce noise. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The removal of on-street tour and school bus parking from the Old Philadelphia District, as recommended under all of the action alternatives, would require that a remote site be designated for bus parking.

Preparation date: September 5, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PECOS NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, SAN MIGUEL AND SANTA FE COUNTIES, NEW MEXICO. AN - 36408530; 6040 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Pecos and Glorieta units of the Pecos National Historical Park in San Miguel and Santa Fe counties, New Mexico, is proposed. The park was established in 1990 and consists of the two units. The Pecos area contains a variety of cultural resources that represent the cultural heritage of the southwest from 4,500 B.C. to the present; the Pecos River, one of the longest free-flowing rivers in New Mexico, has scenic values in the park. The Glorieta unit contains a Civil War battlefield. Issues of concern include the effect on cultural and natural resources, scenic resources, and the socioeconomic environment, including the local economy and NPS operations. In addition to both a proposed action and a No Action Alternative for each of the units, two additional action alternatives for the Pecos unit and one additional action alternative for the Glorieta unit were considered in the draft EIS of September 1995. For the Pecos unit, the No Action Alternative (Alternative A) would continue placing the primary interpretive focus on the Pecos Pueblo/mission ruins complex, and no new visitors facilities would be developed. The proposed action (Alternative B) would develop two visitor staging areas, and new facilities would include trails, trailheads, and interpretive exhibits. Alternative C would develop three visitor staging areas, with easy vehicle access. Alternative D would have visitors entering the park from the south and would develop the same visitor centers as Alternative C. For the Glorieta unit, the No Action Alternative (Alternative 1) would provide no new facilities. The proposed action (Alternative 2) would incorporate a staffed visitor contact facility, interpretive trails and exhibits at Pigeon's Ranch, and an interpretive exhibit at a pulloff overlooking Canoncito. Alternative 3 would be the same as Alternative 2 except for the location of the visitor contact facility. This final EIS, which is issued in abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of a management plan would provide guidance for cultural and resource management, visitor use, and park administration for the next 15 years. The plan would balance the protection of park resources with the needs of park visitors and park administration in a comprehensive approach. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities could adversely affect archaeological resources by disturbing and compacting soils and damaging artifacts and site context.

Preparation date: September 4, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FISH PASSAGE IMPROVEMENT, SAVAGE RAPIDS DAM, JOSEPHINE COUNTY, OREGON. AN - 36406527; 5320 AB - PURPOSE: The selection of a management strategy in order to address fish passage problems at the Grants Pass Irrigation District's (GPID) Savage Rapids Dam, and also to resolve conflicts over water uses, in Josephine County, Oregon, is proposed. The Savage Rapids Dam is located on the Rogue River where the river crosses the Josephine /Jackson County line in southwestern Oregon. It is GPID's primary diversion facility. The Rogue River salmon and steelhead trout fisheries in southwest Oregon are nationally renowned for diversity and productivity, but are currently severely depressed from historic harvest levels. Coho salmon and steelhead trout are candidates for designation as endangered species and are under study by the National Marine Fisheries Service. Fish passage problems at the Savage River Dam have historically been addressed by twin fish ladders and fish screens for the gravity diversion. Screens for the pumping diversion were unsuccessful, and this diversion has been essentially unscreened since 1958. Any change in facilities must consider both fish passage and irrigation diversions. The existing diversion facilities, including the hydraulically-driven pumps, are old and nearing the end of their useful lives. These facilities are not capable of operating at the reduced rates expected to be required in the near future and need to be updated. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, the Savage River Dam would be removed and electric pumping facilities would be constructed; construction would take about five years. Dual pumping plants would be built, with diversion capacity of 150 cubic feet per second. Noise abatement walls would reduce noise levels at the site and obscure the pumping plants from view. Electric power would be supplied by an existing 12-volt distribution line; annual consumption would be about 5.75 million kilowatt-hours. Concrete box culverts would carry water from the river to pumping plant sumps, with river openings covered by vertical fish screens. New discharge pipelines from the pumping plants to existing canals would be buried. Project costs are estimated at $13.3 million. Removing the dam would eliminate an existing seasonal reservoir; lost recreation opportunities associated with flatwater would be offset by increased opportunities associated with a stable riverine environment. Under the other action alternative, the dam would be retained, fish passage facilities would be built, and irrigation diversion facilities would be improved or replaced for the long term; project costs for this alternative are estimated at $21.3 million. The No Action Alternative is presented as a baseline for evaluating the effects under the action alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, all fish passage problems at Savage River Dam would be eliminated, and fish escapement (number of adults returning to spawn) would increase by about 22 percent. This would amount to 26,700 spawners, which would result in a harvest increase estimated at 87,900 fish at sport and commercial fisheries with an annual monetary value of approximately $5 million. New electric pumping facilities would extend the life of GPID diversion facilities. Remaining debt owed to the federal government for past construction on Savage River Dam would be forgiven. Some 120 to 190 short-term jobs would be created. Due in part to the fact that the project area is located in an urban/suburban setting with highways along each side and a railroad also along one side, short-term environmental effects under either action alternative would be insignificant. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Short-term increases in noise levels and traffic hazards, and adverse effects on air and water quality, would be experienced during construction.

Preparation date: August 30, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CAJON PIPELINE PROJECT, LOS ANGELES AND SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JUNE 1993). AN - 36406375; 5299 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a permit to the Cajon Pipeline Company for the construction of a 142-mile-long oil pipeline from 12-Gauge Lake, located 27 miles west of the city of Barstow, to the Los Angeles crude oil terminals in Carson and Long Beach, California has been approved. Approximately 30 percent of the crude oil now being refined in the Los Angeles Basin comes from Alaska, but that volume is expected to decrease by 50 percent by the year 2000. To replace the Alaska crude, Los Angeles refineries must increase their crude supply from foreign sources or domestic sources, such as those located in the Santa Barbara Channel and the San Joaquin Valley. Although pipeline transport is safer than alternative modes of transport, such as tanker truck, rail, or marine tanker, there are limited means for domestic producers to transport crude oil via existing pipelines to the Los Angeles refineries. The 20-inch-diameter, steel-welded, insulated, buried pipeline would transport heavy crude oil from the Santa Barbara Channel and the San Joaquin Valley to the Los Angeles Basin. Two pump stations would be needed to move heated crude oil through the pipeline. One pump station, together with a 750,000-barrel storage area, would be located at 12-Gauge Lake. The other pump station, together with control and maintenance facilities, would be located at Adelanto. Crude oil from the Santa Barbara Channel and the San Joaquin Valley would be delivered to 12-Gauge Lake by the existing All-American Pipeline. From there it would be transported to the Los Angeles Basin by the proposed Cajon Pipeline. The pipeline would have a maximum capacity of 180,000 barrels per day (BPD), but would be designed to operate at an average flow of 150,000 BPD. For most of the route, it would be within or adjacent to existing public and private right-of-way. The pipeline would cross 23 streams or canals, the largest being the California Aqueduct, Cajon Wash, and the Los Angeles River. It would be equipped with 46 valves with a maximum separation of 6.7 miles, and with instrumentation for the detection of leaks. Six alternatives, including a No-Project Alternative, were considered in the final EIS. The proposed action is the Bureau of Land Management's preferred alternative. This supplement to the final EIS of June 1993 addresses a modification to the proposal for the construction of the Cajon Pipeline since the Record of Decision was issued in 1993. The Cajon Pipeline Company now proposes to construct a much shorter pipeline extending from 12-Gauge Lake to the City of Rancho Cucamonga below the Cajon Pass. At that point, the Cajon Pipeline would terminate and a connection would be created to an existing pipeline owned and operated by the Edison Pipeline and Terminal Company. As a result, the southern 57 miles of the originally approved Cajon Pipeline project would not need to be constructed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Cajon Pipeline would facilitate the shipment of crude oil from domestic producers to the Los Angeles Basin, where virtually all of southern California's refining capacity is located. The project would also create 145 construction jobs lasting 60 to 70 days and 42 jobs lasting six to eight months, and increase property tax revenue by approximately $616,000 per year. The revised proposal would include two minor alignment changes within the City of Adelanto. Both of these alignments would increase the separation between the pipeline and existing schools. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the pipeline route would cross active traces of the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults, and could cross the potentially active or buried segments of three other faults. Construction would result in soil erosion, which would adversely affect water quality at stream crossings. Once operational, the pipeline could rupture, resulting in significant soil and water contamination, and because the pipeline route would often extend through existing utility corridors, a catastrophic event could disrupt utility services. During construction activities, up to 630 acres of common native plant communities would be removed, resulting in the death or displacement of various wildlife species, including several threatened or endangered species. The pipeline would disturb one prehistoric site and a broad area with a high potential for containing paleontological resources.

AN - 36395651; 5284 AB - PURPOSE: The construction, operation, and maintenance of a 24-inch pipeline from Wild Horse (located on the border between Montana and Canada) to Casper, Wyoming, is proposed. Express Pipeline, Inc., (Express), an affiliate of Alberta Energy Company Ltd. and TransCanada Pipelines Limited, would perform the proposed action; another affiliate, Express Pipeline Ltd., would build and operate an interconnecting pipeline running from Wild Horse to Hardisty, Alberta. Together, these pipelines would transport 172,000 barrels per day (BPD) of crude oil from the production fields in Alberta to refineries in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Kansas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee via the existing pipelines downstream of Casper. With additional pump stations, the capacity could ultimately reach 280,000 BPD. The pipeline would parallel other pipelines for almost its entire 515-mile length. Through most of Montana (305 miles) and for the first 120 miles in Wyoming, the pipeline would be placed immediately adjacent to the certified route for the Altamont natural gas pipeline. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Action alternatives would call for the pipeline system to include five pump stations, a meter station, a communication system, appurtenances, pig launchers and receivers, test leads, mainline sectionalizing valves, and check valves. The pipeline would operate at a maximum pressure of 1,220 pounds per square inch gauge, and be buried throughout its entire length. Construction would commence April 1996 and be completed October 1996. Construction would occur using five mainline construction spreads each employing about 400 people, of which 21 percent would be locally hired. Primary access for construction crews would be public roads and the right-of-way. Temporary access roads could be required in certain areas in order to minimize travel time between supply points or in areas where natural environmental features, such as a number of stream crossings or steep slopes, make extensive travel along the right-of-way impractical. Express would be required to develop a written operation and maintenance plan designed to monitor and maintain the operational integrity and reliability of the system and thus ensure a high degree of safety. In addition, Express would develop an emergency response and contingency plan covering oil spills, explosions, and fires, and also natural disasters. The other action alternative under consideration would include minor deviations to the proposed route; different construction methods, such as boring under the Yellowstone River rather than trenching; timing restrictions in order to minimize potential adverse impacts to wildlife; and crossing all perennial streams at low flow, and applying casing pipe over the main pipe at perennial river crossings. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would provide new sources of Canadian crude to refiners in the Rocky Mountain and Midwest regions of the U.S., and likewise provide markets for Canadian producers. Crude oil production in the Rocky Mountain region has decreased from 628,000 BPD in 1985 to about 424,000 BPD, and is expected to drop to about 201,000 BPD in 2015. As the region has no alternative source of crude supplies, Canadian crude via the pipeline would be the most viable opportunity to satisfy the market. Existing pipeline networks providing access from Casper to refineries in other locations are currently underutilized and would have the capacity to transport the volumes projected by the Express. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Short-term sedimentation would occur at river and stream crossings during and shortly after construction. Minor short-term construction dust and vehicle and equipment emissions would occur. Pump station operations would result in evaporative emissions of 66 pounds per year of volatile organic compounds. The pipeline would disturb 2,848 acres of rangeland; 2,664 acres of cropland; 37 acres of wetlands; and 69 acres of riparian area. Sedimentation, blasting, and oil spills could damage or destroy aquatic species. Long-term adverse visual impacts would occur over 32 percent of the route where rehabilitation potential were poor. Eighteen locations yielding paleontological resources considered important, significant or critical have been identified along the proposed route.

AN - 36401113; 5278 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 345-kilovolt (kV) transmission line in order to connect New Brunswick, Canada, with the electrical systems maintained by Bangor Hydroelectric Company in Maine is proposed. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and various power generation and conservation measures possible if the permit were denied, are considered in this final EIS. The interconnection would consist of an 83.8-mile, 345-kV alternating current transmission line from the U.S.-Canadian border at Baileyville, Maine, to an existing substation in Orrington, Maine. The Orrington substation would be expanded to accommodate the new transmission line; new facilities would include lattice steel support structures, circuit breakers and associated switches, relays, and control equipment and wiring. In addition, two other substations would be upgraded to accommodate the new power loads throughout the New England Power Pool system. The new transmission line would allow for the importation of 600 megawatts (MW) of firm capacity that the New Brunswick Power Commission of Canada has proposed to sell. Without this line, only 300 MW could be imported through Bangor's existing 345-kV tie line. The first 71.6 miles of the proposed line would be located within a 170-foot-wide right-of-way; roughly 90 percent of the proposed route would traverse commercial timberland. The remaining 12.2 miles would share right-of-way space with the existing tie line. Under the proposed action, the issuance of a Presidential Permit authorizing the international interconnection would be required. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The transmission line would enhance the sharing of power between Canada and New England, thereby reducing reserve generation requirements by sharing capacity during emergencies and improving the reliability of the overall transmission system. A new tie line would also reduce the transmission line losses now experienced along the existing tie line, estimated at 38 MW or $17.8 million annually. With the proposed line equally sharing transmission with existing line, line losses would drop to 14 MW, representing an annual energy loss of less than $6.6 million. Therefore, the new line would reduce costs from line losses by almost $11.3 million per year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, about 1,450 acres of forest would be converted to project-related uses. Of this total, less than five acres would be permanently converted to project-related uses precluding eventual use for wildlife habitat or a similar purpose. The potential of the collision of birds with the structures would exist. The line would adversely affect aesthetic resources through visual intrusion. Possible adverse health and safety effects associated with electromagnetic radiation would also exist; a total of 98 dwellings would be located within 600 feet of the proposed route.

AN - 36397461; 5279 AB - PURPOSE: The continuation and expansion of Zortman Mining, Inc., (ZMI) mining operations at both the Zortman and Landusky mines in Phillips County, Montana, is proposed. On May 11, 1992, ZMI submitted an application to the Lewiston District of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Montana Department of Environmental Quality to expand mining operations at the mines in Montana's Little Rocky Mountains. Issues identified through public scoping include Native American religious concerns, acid rock drainage, reclamation, and socioeconomics. Seven alternatives, including the company's proposal and a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The five other agency alternatives would involve various combinations of approval or rejection of mine expansion, acceptance of company reclamation plan, and adoption of one of several agency reclamation strategies. The proposal would include the expansion of existing mine pits to access sulfide ore; a 150-acre, 60-million ton waste rock disposal area; crushing facilities; a two-and-one-half-mile conveyor system; a 200-acre, 80-million-ton leach pad; a new processing plant and ponds; a limestone quarry; and other associated facilities. Total disturbance would increase from the existing 401 acres to about 1,292 acres. The operation would be located on private and BLM-managed land. The preferred alternative (Alternative 7) would be similar to the company's proposal for both mine expansion and modification of reclamation plans, but with agency mitigation added in order to reduce or avoid adverse impacts. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would correct inadequacies in the existing reclamation plans: it has become apparent that the current approved reclamation plans are not adequate to limit or prevent the development of acid rock drainage from the present mine facilities; and secondly, ZMI wants to develop its property rights. The Zortman and Landusky mines have employed a large number of workers from 1979 through 1994. As this employment is a significant proportion of the regional workforce, continuation of mine operations would prevent adverse socioeconomic impacts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The mine expansion would develop sulfide ore and waste to an extent not previously contemplated for the Zortman and Landusky mines. Existing and possible additional adverse water quality and aquatic habitat impacts would result from acid rock drainage, as well as from potential leakage of heap leach process solution from storage ponds and other contaminant drainage events. Expansion activities would adversely affect Native American cultural resources and the use of these resources as a result of mine noise, air quality and water resources degradation, and modification of the visual perspective from certain locations of traditional cultural practices and importance. Habitat losses resulting from action alternatives would be 1,257 to 2,422 acres.

AN - 36397369; 5277 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of tailings and waste rock storage areas to enable continued copper mining activities at the Cyprus Bagdad Copper Corporation's mine in Bagdad, Yavapai County, Arizona, is proposed. The site is located in west-central Arizona, approximately 50 miles west of the city of Prescott, and approximately 100 miles northwest of the city of Phoenix. Existing facilities include two tailings facilities (Mulholland and Mammoth tailings ponds), an open pit, a mill and solvent extraction-electrowinning plant, and waste rock disposal on private lands. The proposed action would include the development of Upper Mammoth tailings facility, the expansion of the South waste rock disposal area, and the continued excavation of the open pit. Two alternatives, including the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action would involve approximately 320 acres of public surface lands under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management, and extend the life of the mine to 35 years. The estimated total disturbance associated with the proposed action is 2,000 acres. The No Action Alternative would consist of continued mining operation on private lands for six years, including expanding the existing Mammoth tailings pond, expansion of the open pit, and disposal of waste rock on private lands, followed by closure. No new disturbance would occur on public lands with the No Action Alternative, and the mine would proceed with reclamation and closure procedures in six years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would satisfy two underlying needs: copper production and economic support. Expansion activities would provide a short-term increase in employment, as well as preserve jobs for 520 mine employees beyond six years. Additional recoverable copper made available by the proposed action would total approximately 3.5 million tons. Reclamation of existing tailings at the neighboring Kimberley mine would increase by 16 million to 18 million tons. Estimated additional revenues realized from extending then life of the mine would total approximately $266 million. The proposed action would be in conformance with current land use and transportation plans. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Proposed action would result in disturbance of 1,565 acres of native soil, with associated loss of soil productivity and wildlife habitat; dewatering effects on the aquifer in the vicinity of the open pit; potential adverse impacts on three historic properties identified on the project site; potential increases in acidic waste generation and noise levels; the temporary loss of grazing resources; and the degradation of visual quality from certain vantage points.

AN - 36397324; 5275 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a 15-year management plan for the Fort Clatsop National Memorial in Clatsop County, Oregon, is proposed. In 1958, Congress established the site as a national memorial in order to commemorate the site use as a winter encampment of the Lewis and Clark Expedition following their successful crossing of the North American continent in 1805. The site consists of approximately 125 acres located in the extreme northern portion of the Oregon Coast Range. The Columbia River flows into the Pacific Ocean just north of the fort; Young's Bay is situated on the south side of the Columbia in the vicinity of Astoria, Oregon. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative C), four measures that would promote the protection and enhancement of the site's resources would be implemented: a trail corridor between Fort Clatsop and the Pacific Ocean would be acquired, requiring the development of an 80-acre trailhead area with a 18-vehicle parking lot, restrooms, an information kiosk, a picnic area, a bicycle rack, and other facilities; some 963 acres of land would be added to the memorial in order to provide the fort-to-ocean trail corridor and to frame the park setting to the north, west, and southwest, preventing land uses incompatible with the historical character of the area; the plan would encourage regional cooperation among federal, state, and local agencies responsible for managing historic sites important to the Lewis and Clark Expedition; and the plan would upgrade the memorial's staffing levels and maintenance and residential facilities, add ten permanent and five seasonal staff members, and establish carrying capacity levels for the fort and visitor center. The estimated costs of the proposed improvements are $1.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action to enlarge the memorial, park management would be able to respond fully to the congressional mandate of providing a link between the fort and the Pacific Ocean. The cultural resource values of the area would be preserved and visitor experiences would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, trail development and construction activities would adversely affect visual, soil, and vegetative resources. The increase in the memorial's acreage would result in the loss of timber-related jobs and local property tax revenue.

AN - 62364374; ED440136 AB - This annual report presents results from the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) of the College Board's Admissions Testing Program and the American College Testing (ACT) Program's original and enhanced ACT assessment for prior year graduating seniors. The last decade had brought some recovery over the decline of the previous 10 years in both Texas and national SAT averages, with relatively more improvement in Texas in the last 7 years. The average 1993 Texas SAT total of 885 was 17 points below the national average of 902. The 1993 Texas average ACT composite score was 20.1 compared to a national average of 20.7. Although Texas SAT-tested students had less academic preparation than students nationally, percentages completing 20+ credits improved from 23% in 1991 to 25% in 1992, and up to 27% in 1993, with a fall back to 25% in 1994. Even with the growth in numbers and percentages of ethnic minority students tested in recent years, Texas minority ACT scores have shown some improvement relative to white ACT scores. SAT total and ACT composite scores tended to go up as the values of certain demographic variables rose, and also tended to increase as the values of selected educational variables increased, including district average of students passing all sections of the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills. Generally, the 1992-1993 SAT and ACT results in Texas suggest focusing on improving the academic preparation of students while encouraging test participation. An appendix contains four detailed tables of mean SAT and ACT scores and a glossary of categories used to analyze results. (Contains 4 tables and 17 references.)

AN - 36395421; 5269 AB - PURPOSE: The development and construction of facilities to support the city of San Jose's South Bay Water Recycling Program (SBWRP), in Santa Clara County, California, is proposed. The proposed project involves diverting treated effluent from the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant that is normally discharged to the South San Francisco Bay. This water would be reclaimed and distributed through a pipeline system for industrial uses, as well as for a variety of irrigation uses, including agriculture and landscaping in institutional, commercial, and residential areas. Reclaimed water would initially serve users in the Golden Triangle area of Santa Clara- San Jose, and the program would be sized to allow future expansion to East Milpitas, Evergreen Valley, and the Highway 85/87 area. Phase I of the project would provide 9,000 acre-feet of water per year; phase II would provide up to 27,000 acre-feet per year for potable or nonpotable use. The recycling program would include the installation of pipelines, pump stations, storage tanks, and appurtenant facilities. Alternatives under consideration include the Pipeline Alignment Alternative, the Flow Allocation Alternative, the Habitat Enhancement Alternative, and the No Project Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would provide an alternative water supply source within the Golden Triangle and adjacent areas that would be commensurate with water quality requirements, and reduce wastewater discharge to shallow waters of the South Bay. The latter objective would alleviate the conversion of salt marsh either to brackish or freshwater marsh. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Major adverse impacts would be primarily related to project construction activities and include: temporary disruption of transportation corridors; temporary disruption to wildlife; increased levels of dust and noxious emissions; increased noise; and increased erosion hazard near riparian corridors. Additional short-term adverse impacts to public health and visual quality of the project area would also result from construction activities. Adverse impacts related to project operation would include: potential contamination of groundwater and soils from faulty engineering, noncompliance with existing regulations or mandated inspection procedures, and increases in energy demand.

AN - 36402817; 5261 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of the native anadromous fisheries and ecosystem of the Elwha River in Clallam County, Washington, is proposed. Much of the 45-mile-long river flows through the Olympic National Park. In the early 1900s, the free-flowing Elwha River was blocked by two hydroelectric dams. In 1912, the Elwha Dam was built 4.9 miles from the mouth of the river, creating Lake Aldwell. In 1926, the Glines Canyon dam was built 8.5 miles further upstream, creating Lake Mills. The presence and operation of the dams blocked the migration path for several species of salmon and trout, which, after maturing in the ocean, return to Elwha to spawn, and the dams prevent the downstream flow of nutrients, sediment, and woody debris needed by the fish to spawn and rear juveniles. The fish were also important to the diet, culture, and economy of a local Indian tribe, the Lower Elwha S'Klallam Tribe. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the restoration project would include the acquisition and decommissioning of both dams, the draining of the reservoirs, and the removal of all or part of the dams, powerhouses, and auxiliary structures. These actions would require the diversion of the river around the dams and the management of 17 million cubic yards of sediments that have accumulated behind the dams over the past 80 years. The river could be diverted by way of a tunnel, surface diversion channel, low level diversion through the dam structure, or by notching dam down from the top. Sediment could be transported naturally by the river, stabilized on site, or dredged and removed offsite. Pieces of the dam or historically important structures could be left in place. Restoration efforts would begin by planting some species in the middle and upper river while the dams are still in place. To accommodate juvenile downstream migration of these species, turbine runners might need to be removed at both dams. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would fully restore the Elwha River ecosystem, return the cultural and economic focus of the Lower Elwha S'Klallam Tribe, and promote the federal trust responsibility to affected Indian tribes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Deactivation of the dams would result in the loss of 18.7 megawatts of hydroelectric power now produced at these two sites. If sediment were allowed to erode naturally, the finer-grained particles, like silt and clay, could adversely affect fish or other aquatic organisms.

AN - 36395302; 5242 AB - PURPOSE: The development and implementation of a management plan to effectively serve visitor need and to preserve, protect, and interpret the cultural and natural resources of the Richmond National Battlefield Park, located in Chesterfield, Hanover, and Henrico counties, Virginia, is proposed. The park is located 110 miles south of Washington, District of Columbia. Significant battle actions occurred in the Richmond area in 1862 and in 1864-1865. The park, established as part of the national park system in 1936, contains 764 acres in 11 individual units spread over a 132-square-mile area. The Chimborazo Park unit contains the main visitor center and administrative office and is the only unit within the Richmond city limits. Of the 50 battlefields cited in 1993 by the Civil War Sites Advisory Commission as being especially significant to the outcome of the war, still being in fair or good condition, and facing imminent threat from urban and suburban expansion, seven are located in the Richmond metropolitan area, with six being located in the park's current legislative boundary. Thematic categories to be addressed by interpretive actions would include eastern military ground and naval campaigns; architecture, regional and urban planning, and cemeteries; military engineering and invention (fortifications, weapons, and war vehicles); canals, railroads, and other means of transportation; slavery, plantation life, and urban life; abolitionism and other social movements; and preservation of historic land and structures. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative D), an interpretation of the military actions in the two major Union campaigns integrated with an understanding of the importance of the Confederate capital to both sides would be emphasized. Under this alternative, the park's authorizing legislation would be changed in order to allow the park to receive and expend appropriated funds for land purchases. Under Alternative B, an integrated interpretation of all Civil War resources in the Richmond area would be emphasized. Under Alternative C, the importance of the battle action and the strategies in the two major Union campaigns to take the city would be emphasized. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of the proposed management plan would address objectives stated in the park's authorizing legislation, including identification and protection of cultural resources. It would also provide a historic context in which to foster public understanding of military events and strategy and broader living conditions of the Richmond area at the time of the Civil War; promote the conservation of historic resources not currently in park ownership; make all units easily available and accessible to visitors; and interpret each site in its historic context. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Proposed trail, parking area, and vista clearing projects in support of construction of a new visitor center would likely pose minor short- and long-term adverse impacts of erosion and sedimentation. Traffic would increase along tour routes due to increased visitation.

Preparation date: July 21, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MESQUITE REGIONAL LANDFILL PROJECT, IMPERIAL COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36400994; 5211 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a Class III nonhazardous solid waste landfill adjacent to the active Mesquite Gold Mine and Ore Processing Facility in eastern Imperial County, California, is proposed. The site consists of 4,250 acres of public and private land located in the California Desert Conservation Area. Arid Operations, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gold Fields Mining Corporation, would design and operate the landfill. Roughly 1,750 acres of the proposed landfill site are federally-owned lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). In order to obtain the surface and subsurface rights to those federal lands, the applicant would exchange roughly 2,242 acres of private lands located in the Santa Rosa Mountains Natural Scenic Area and near the Chuckwalla Bench Area of Critical Environmental Concern. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The project would include a four- to five-mile railroad spur that would extend from the existing Southern Pacific Transportation Company main line track to the landfill site. The footprint of the proposed landfill would cover 2,290 acres and accommodate up to 600 million tons of municipal solid waste over a 100-year period. The facility would receive 4,000 tons of waste per day during its first year of operation and up to 20,000 tons per day by the seventh year of operation. Waste would be collected by local collection vehicles from population centers in southern California and taken to transfer stations or material recovery facilities where it would be sorted and processed in order to remove recyclables, hazardous materials, and other unacceptable wastes. The waste would then be loaded into containers and hauled to the landfill by railroad. One train trip per day would be necessary during the first year, and five trips per day by the seventh year. Under the other action alternatives, the project would provide for a smaller landfill footprint, a reduced daily volume, an alternative landfill site, or a larger project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The operation of the landfill at the 20,000-ton-per-day capacity would provide for the disposal of nonhazardous solid waste generated in the southern California area in the near and long terms. The private land transferred by the applicant would contribute critical wildlife and scenic areas to BLM's public land holdings. Under the proposed project, some 268 long-term jobs would be supported; in addition, 150 construction jobs would be generated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Landfill slopes would be vulnerable to erosion, which, in turn, would degrade water quality; groundwater would be vulnerable to degradation from waste leachate or seepage. The project would contribute particulate and vehicle emissions to the Southeast Desert and South Coast air basins. The operation of the landfill and use of the rail line could adversely affect populations of desert tortoise and raven, two endangered and threatened species. Some level of health risk would result from the potential exposure of local residents to landfill gas. Ten cultural resources recommended as eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places would be disturbed; a portion of the mesquite Mine overlook trail would be lost.

Preparation date: July 6, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - EAST FORK BLACKS FORK ANALYSIS AREA, WASATCH-CACHE NATIONAL FOREST, SUMMIT COUNTY, UTAH (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JULY 1992). AN - 36396913; 5156 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for the 31,500 acre East Fork Blacks Fork drainage in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest, located in Summit County, Utah, is proposed. The analysis area is located along the eastern edge of the Evanston Ranger District. It is bordered by the district boundary on the north and east, by the wilderness boundary on the south, and by the dividing crest line between the Middle Fork and West Fork Blacks Fork drainages on the west. Approximately 13,000 acres of oil and gas leases have been applied for in the East Fork and Middle Fork of the Blacks Fork River drainage. Vegetation manipulations proposed for the area include habitat improvement projects for elk and deer transition ranges, timber harvesting, insect and disease control projects, and scenic corridor management along the East Fork Blacks Fork Road. Internal and public concerns have indicated the need for decisions on the transportation system and management of the East Fork Blacks Fork Sheep Driveway. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the final EIS. This final supplement to the final EIS of July 1992, prepared in response to appeals to the Regional Forester, considers a new preferred alternative (Alternative G) under which impacts on cultural resources and roadless areas would be minimized. Under Alternative G, the road accessing the confluence wildlife units would be relocated and timber harvesting would be eliminated in the Lower Middle Fork Sale units; these are the major differences between implementation under Alternative G and under the preferred alternative presented in the final EIS. Under Alternative G, some 1.6 million board feet (MMBF) of timber would be harvested on 1,073 acres; additionally the harvesting would produce 1.7 MMBF of poles and 518 cords of timber. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under any of the action alternatives, the scenic quality along East Fork Blacks Fork Road would be improved. Each year, under the action alternatives, harvesting would generate $69,285 to $218,905 in county revenues and $277,140 to $875,620 in total gross revenues. Habitat diversity would increase significantly, and transition range for big game would improve. Silvicultural treatments would contribute to the local economy and sustained yield goals in the overall national forest plan. Hunting opportunities in the area would increase. Riparian habitat currently judged to be in an unsatisfactory state would improve significantly over 10 to 20 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under all of the action alternatives, harvesting would result in a decrease in the vertical diversity of forest vegetation over time. Substantial increases in trucking costs could force some ranchers out of business. Trailing and/or trucking could adversely affect the recreational experience in the area, and fences could degrade visuals. Under Alternative G, 422 acres of roadless area would be adversely affected.

Preparation date: June 30, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - OBED WILD AND SCENIC RIVER, CUMBERLAND AND MORGAN COUNTIES, TENNESSEE. AN - 36400533; 5152 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for the Obed Wild and Scenic River (Obed WSR) in Cumberland and Morgan counties, Tennessee, is proposed. The Obed WSR contains an outstanding example of a deep sandstone gorge with high steam gradients which together direct white water down boulder-strewn courses intermingled with quiet, smooth-flowing stretches. The water is clear and considered to be among the highest quality in the state. Possessing great ecological diversity, the area contains ten of 12 ecosystems unique to the Cumberland Plateau, two critical habitats and 16 state- and federally-listed endangered, threatened, and rare species. About 90 percent of the corridor is forested and contains stands of mature hardwood and evergreen forests. Recreational use dominates the river corridor; boating, fishing, hunting, swimming, and camping are common activities of local residents and visitors from most of the eastern U.S. The plan would provide for the protection of Obed WSR values and address resource management and visitor use. The plan has been prepared in cooperation with National Park Service, a state agency, and the public and will guide management of the Obed WSR for approximately the next 10 to 15 years. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative B), were considered in the draft EIS of August 1994. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative A), implementation would include a management zone system representing area-specific applications of management objectives; enhanced visitor oriented programs and facilities; expanded boundaries to include approximately 200 acres of land and six river miles; and the study of other river segments for future WSR inclusion. Some changes would be made in the current use and management of easements in order to provide for the protection of values and to accommodate visitor access. Implementation cost would be $1.89 million. Under Alternative B, the existing course, which is based primarily on continuing implementation of the 1978 Development Plan, would be followed. The management zone system would be based on ownership patterns; landscape character would not be addressed; different locations for a scenic overlook and trails would be proposed; and more roads would be developed and maintained. Boundary expansion would include two tracts of land containing less than 65 acres. The implementation cost would be $2.27 million. The final EIS, which is issued in abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft EIS; the draft EIS has been reissued as a companion document. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, implementation would fulfill management requirements mandated by federal and state legislation. Long-term water resource impacts would be reduced; wetlands protection would be increased; and accessibility for disabled visitors would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Because implementation under the two alternatives would be substantially similar, the environmental consequences under each would also be similar. The additional roads and different overlook development under Alternative B would adversely affect a greater amount of land and vegetation. Since county tax income could be reduced if lands were acquired in fee, there could be adverse socioeconomic effects as more boundary adjustments were proposed. Water resources could be adversely affected by short-term sedimentation as a result of facility construction activities.

AN - 36396584; 5107 AB - PURPOSE: The exploration and development of uranium reserves present at the Battle Springs Formation in the Green Mountain area of southeastern Fremont County and northeastern Sweetwater County, Wyoming, are proposed. The reserves are located at depths of approximately 2,500 to 3,500 feet below the surface of Green Mountain. The project area lies primarily within portion of the Great Divide Basin. Groundwater and surface water are variable in quality and the major current use is for livestock and recreation. Project area soils have high rates of natural erosion, and plant cover values and productivity are variable. Vegetation is scattered with barren areas associated with cliffs, badlands, and rock outcrops. Range condition is generally good. Wetlands in the project area are restricted to drainage bottoms, around impoundments, and adjacent to Crooks Creek. Livestock grazing, wildlife habitat, and recreation are the predominant land uses in the area. Threatened and endangered species that may occur on the area include black-footed ferret, bald eagle, and peregrine falcon. The mountain plover, a Category 1 species for threatened and endangered listing, potentially occurs in the area. Four transportation alternatives, one mine waste rock disposal alternative, and a No Action Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the project, as proposed by the Green Mountain Mining Venture, would involve the development of an underground uranium mine on approximately 42 acres within a Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, Land Quality Division authorized permit area. Uranium ore from the project would be transported from the mine site along upgraded roads linking the mine site with the existing Sweetwater Uranium Mill to the south. The project would initially disturb 289 to 387 acres for mine site development and roads. Exploration and development would require 2 to 7 years, and the proposed life-of-project would require 13 to 25 years. Mining and ore transport activities would be conducted on a 24-hour basis and require three crews. As many as 250 workers would be required during mining operations. Areas disturbed during road improvement and construction operations that are not required for the life-of-project would be reclaimed as soon as practical. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would increase tax revenues, employment, and the use of local goods and services. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would include fugitive dust emissions along project-required roads, the depletion of uranium reserves from the Battle Springs Formation, alteration of the No Name drainage, the temporary preclusion of oil and gas development, the reactivation of stabilized sand dunes, and the degradation of cultural/historic sites at Site 48FR479 and along the Rawlins-Fort Washakie stage road. There would also be adverse impacts to geologic hazards, surface water resources, noise, vegetation, wildlife, and land use.

AN - 36402348; 5140 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Brooks River Area of the Katmai National Park in southern Alaska is proposed. The overall objective of the plan is the protection of the park's Alaskan brown bear habitat, and the enhancement of bear viewing opportunities, area scenic values, and sportfishing opportunities. Tourist visits to the park have increased so dramatically in recent years that existing facilities cannot accommodate them. Visitors come primarily to watch and photograph brown bears catching migrating salmon at Brook Falls. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of May 1995. Under the proposed action (Alternative 2), plan implementation would involve the construction of new visitor facilities (a visitors' center, a lodge, a campground, employee housing, and a maintenance facility) on the Beaver Pond Terrace south of the Brooks River; the removal of all Park Service and concessions facilities north of the river; the designation of the north side as a people-free zone; the establishment of day-use limits; the closing of portions of the river during periods of intense bear use; and the improvement of the area's interpretation program. Day use limits would be established at levels significantly below the July 1992 average in order to allow higher overnight use at the lodge and campground. Access to the area would be primarily by floatplane, and would be east of the Beaver Pond, away from critical bear habitat. This draft supplement to the draft EIS considers a new proposal (Alternative 5) for the Beaver Pond Terrace under which all facilities would be removed and visitor use stopped in the area north of Brooks River except Dumpling Mountain Trail. Replacement facilities would be located on the Beaver Pond Terrace and would consist of a rustic lodge-dining facility and overnight accommodations for 60 guests in separate rustic cabins. A 60-person campground with enclosed bear-proof cooking shelters would also be provided on the terrace. All overnight accommodations would be provided through a concession. Boat and aircraft access to the Brooks River Area would be provided. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Removal of the facilities north of the river would allow the local bear population to experience less disturbance and the incremental impacts to cultural resources to cease. The management of the river would allow for quality bear viewing, wildlife photography, and sportfishing. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: About 105 acres of undisturbed habitat, mostly white spruce forest, would experience varying degrees of disturbance as a result of development under Alternative 2; 98.3 acres would be disturbed under Alternative 5. Some archaeological sites would be disturbed as a result of planned construction and the removal of development north of the river.

Preparation date: June 9, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CABRILLO NATIONAL MONUMENT, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36411465; 5139 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Cabrillo National Monument in San Diego, California, is proposed. The monument is located on the southern end of Point Loma, a narrow, six-mile-long peninsula at the entrance to San Diego Bay. From its 420-foot elevation, the monument offers a commanding view of San Diego, its bay, and the cities immediately to the north and south. The 144-acre monument is an enclave within the federal military reservation on Point Loma. The monument was established in 1913 to commemorate the European discovery of the west coast of the United States by Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo in 1542. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative B), management of natural resources would be enhanced by restoring and preserving coastal sage scrub habitat, increasing staff positions, and minimizing potential impacts of visitors on the tidepool ecosystem. An interpretive facility would be constructed at the lighthouse and the lighthouse landscape improved to better reflect the 1880s period. Access to and interpretation of some historic coastal defense structures would be provided. A marine science facility would be converted to an intertidal interpretive center if the facility is declared to be in excess of the Navy's needs and is transferred to the National Park Service. The whale overlook would be expanded, and the Bayside Trail would be extended in order to form a loop trail that would provide a better impression of native habitat. Estimated development costs are $2.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the project, cultural resources would be identified and protected, and interpretive sites would educate the public about their significance. The visual character of landscapes would be benefited. Trespassing could be diminished as a result of public education programs and by access to a trail that provides a view of environmentally sensitive areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Trail expansion would temporarily expose 8,400 square feet of soil to erosion and also to invasion by exotic plant species.

Preparation date: June 8, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - OIL AND GAS LEASING ON LANDS ADMINISTERED BY THE DIXIE NATIONAL FOREST; GARFIELD, IRON, KANE, PIUTE, WASHINGTON, AND WAYNE COUNTIES, UTAH. AN - 36384411; 5105 AB - PURPOSE: The leasing of land for oil and gas development in the Dixie National Forest, located in southern Utah, is proposed. Dixie, the largest national forest in Utah, straddles the divides between the Great Basin and the Colorado River. Within the boundary of the forest there are 1.87 million acres with both federal jurisdiction of surface use and mineral rights and 3,698 acres with private-owned surface rights and federally administered mineral rights. Roughly 183,877 acres in the forest are excluded from consideration for mineral rights because of wilderness designation or other purpose. Currently, there are 87,527 acres of existing leases in the forest; approximately 75,455 acres of these leases are expected to expire by the year 2000 and become available for issuance as new leases. Key issues include the effects on water, soil, wildlife, roadless areas, wild and scenic rivers, recreation, and aesthetic resources. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, under which no amendments to the forest plan would be required, some 1.78 million acres of forest would be made available for oil and gas leasing as follows: 145,800 acres would be subject to standard lease terms; 571,500 acres would be under controlled surface use; 279,600 acres would be affected by timing limitations; and 881,400 acres would be available under no-surface-occupancy stipulations. Lease stipulations would be attached in order to protect vulnerable wildlife and wilderness areas, wetlands or waterways 40 acres or larger in size, along with areas of high erosion potential and other special areas. Two new wells and 25 future carbon dioxide wells would be developed on a field in the Escalante Ranger District, and another field with 27 additional carbon dioxide wells would be developed on the Aquarius Plateau in the Teasdale Ranger District. Approximately 78 miles of road would be constructed and 24 miles reconstructed during the exploration phase; 125 miles of road would be constructed during the development phase. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Continued leasing operations would provide a domestic source of oil and gas, and provide accruals to the U.S. Treasury from lease bonus bids and annual lease rentals. Construction and drilling activities would provide temporary employment opportunities for the local work force. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed new fields and associated road construction would disturb approximately 718 acres. Air pollutant emissions from gas-driven field engines and emergency gas flaring could be significant in the area. Soils, vegetation, and wildlife and livestock forage in the immediate drilling areas would be disturbed. Riparian areas and wetlands would be adversely affected by increased sediment loads and potential contaminant spills. Old-growth stands could be adversely affected by road construction.

Preparation date: June 8, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TONGUE RIVER BASIN PROJECT, BIG HORN COUNTY, MONTANA. AN - 36410255; 5199 AB - PURPOSE: The repair and enlargement of the unsafe Tongue River Dam and Reservoir, located in Big Horn County, in southeastern Montana, is proposed. The Bureau of Reclamation, the Northern Cheyenne Tribe, and the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation are sponsors of the project, which would provide a portion of the water allocated to the Northern Cheyenne Tribe by the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reserved Water Rights Settlement Act of 1992, and preserve and enhance fish and wildlife habitats in the Tongue River basin. Under the proposed action, the project would alleviate dam safety concerns and protect downstream lives and property, protect all existing water rights held in the Tongue River Reservoir, and provide and additional 20,000 acre-feet of water to the Northern Cheyenne Tribe. Under the action alternatives, the project would involve the use either of a labyrinth weir spillway or a roller-compacted concrete (RCC) spillway. Construction of either would last about two years. Construction employment would include a Northern Cheyenne Tribe hiring preference requiring that 75 percent of the project-related work force be comprised of Northern Cheyenne Tribe workers. Under the preferred alternative, employing an RCC spillway, the existing spillway would be replaced by a new structural concrete spillway having a crest four feet higher than the existing crest. Under the RCC alternative, the project would also involve secondary and/or emergency spillways over the dam embankment, repair or replacement of existing low level outlet works, and the construction of a new auxiliary outlet works. Under both alternatives, the project would have a spillway design outflow of 100,000 cubic feet per second, maximum reservoir elevation and post-construction storage of 3,428.4 feet and 80,000 acre-feet, and would result in the new inundation of 400 acres of land. Downstream floodplain averages would be 387 to 487 feet in width and 10.8 to 13.5 feet in depth; peak employment would be 16 to 26 workers; and the estimated cost of construction is $17 million to $27 million. The labyrinth weir option would account for the greater value in each of these cases. Both build alternatives would require the relocation of Tongue River State Park, the temporary disturbance of Tongue River Canyon fishing access site, coal mine mitigation, and structure and shore erosion protection. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would address the insufficient water supply to satisfy the Tribal water right; the danger to tribal life and lands by the unsafe dam located upstream of the reservation; and fish and wildlife resources and habitat in the Tongue River basin that has suffered as a result of human development in the area. Wages and salaries from construction activities would total $1.7 million to $1.9 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: If a bypass were used instead of an auxiliary outlet works under the RCC alternative, impacts to fisheries would occur during shutdowns for spillway repair. The excavation of aggregate for construction would destroy 30 to 60 acres of vegetation. Soil productivity would be adversely affected by project-related surface disturbance areas. The project would have short-term adverse impacts to boating opportunities and navigational safety from construction drawdown.

Preparation date: June 2, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BRIGGS PROJECT, INYO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36405584; 5112 AB - PURPOSE: The construction by CR Briggs Corporation of an open-pit, heap-leach gold mine project on a 940-acre site in the Panamint Valley, located in southeastern California, is proposed. The site is approximately 34 air miles northeast of the city of Ridgecrest and located about 3.5 miles west of the Panamint Ridge ridgeline that forms that southwestern boundary of Death Valley National Monument. Action alternatives recommending different ore beneficiation rates, a reduced project size, modified waste rock pile configurations, alternative waste rock and processed ore disposal, and a No Action Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the Briggs project would mine ore and associated unmineralized rock from an open pit. Unmineralized rock would be discarded in waste rock dumps that would be constructed outward from the steep slopes of the Panamint Range. Ore would be processed using cyanide heap leach methods; gold would be recovered using carbon adsorption. The project would be designed to mine and process an estimated 21 million tons of ore and approximately 27 million tons of waste rock. At an average ore processing rate of four million tons annually, the project would operate for about six years. Major components of the project would include a mine pit, two waste rock piles, crushing and ore transport facilities, a heap leach pad, process water storage ponds, a gold processing plant, a clay borrow area, and growth media stockpiles. The heap leach pad and process water ponds would be constructed with low-permeability liners consisting of plastic membranes and compacted low-permeability, fine-grained soil. The soil would be supplied from an on-site borrow area and one off-site location. Power would be provided by on-site generators. Approximately 400 gallons per minute of water would be required, primarily for ore processing and dust control. During construction, surface soils from disturbed areas would be salvaged and stockpiled for use as growth media for final site reclamation. Reclamation would occur concurrent with site activities in areas that would not be subject to additional disturbance. Decommissioning and reclamation would occur for about one year after completion of operations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would provide 155 jobs during the construction and 120 during the operating period; the projected employment would generate local economic benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would disturb up to 450 acres of vegetation and adversely affect two species classified by the state as sensitive: the Townsend big-eared bat and the burrowing owl. The project would cause a local exceedance of air quality standards for particulates. The waste rock pile, the heap leach pile, and the mine pit highwall would adversely affect visual resources. Heavy truck traffic would create some safety hazards on local roadways.

AN - 36396677; 5117 AB - PURPOSE: The designation of Lake Abert and its surrounding area in Lake County, Oregon, as an area of critical environmental concern (ACEC) in order to protect significant resources is proposed. Under the proposed action, the management of resources within approximately 123,000 acres of public land and 101,700 acres of reserved mineral estate administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) would be addressed. Four tribal governments are also known to have an interest in the Lakeview Resource Area. The planning area is located approximately 30 miles north of Lakeview. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under both Alternative 1 and Alternative 6, no ACEC designation would be made within the planning area. Under all of the other alternatives, an ACEC designation for all or part of the planning area would be made. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 7), Lake Abert, the archaeologic district, the northern playa, part of Abert Rim Wilderness Study Area, and some adjacent lands would be designated as an ACEC. The plan would the allowance of new rights-of-ways (ROWs), with restrictions based on visual resource management class, lake levels, total dissolved solids levels, and wilderness values; restrictions on vehicular traffic on roads where critical erosion is likely; prescribed burning on timberland; restrictions to gas, oil and mineral leasing on certain lands; the protection of paleontological resources; forage allocation and rangeland improvement projects; the development and disposal of timber products on juniper woodlands to meet public demand; the continuation of existing predator and grasshopper control programs; the protection of special status plant species; wildfire suppression; the conduction of a class III archaeological survey of the area and the protection of identified sites; the management of bighorn sheep population; the continued allowance of hunting and other low-impact recreation opportunities; and the conversion of an existing two-track road at the mouth of Juniper Creek to a foot trail. There are several potential proposals which could occur within the study area during the lifetime of the plan. These would include a pump storage hydroelectric project and the issuance of a sodium preference rights lease for sodium mining. These proposals have drawn attention to the need to develop overall management guidelines to protect resource values in the study area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, some 49,900 acres of public land would be designated as an ACEC, which would provide protection for resource values identified as relevant and important such as aquatic ecology, cultural resources, visual resources, and wildlife. Aquatic communities would be protected by placing restrictions on mining and new ROWs. Potential conflict between bighorn sheep and cattle forage allocation would be avoided because all grazing animal-unit months on Abert Rim would be allocated to wildlife. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Cattle-related range management activities could occur if riparian areas, springs, and creeks were over-used. Fire management activities could temporarily increase overland flow of sedimentation. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

Preparation date: May 8, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SAINT-GAUDENS NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE, SULLIVAN COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE. AN - 36396622; 5114 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park in the town of Cornish, New Hampshire, is proposed. The sites was established as an official historic site in 1964 in order to preserve and interpret property associated with the life and cultural achievements of the American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848-1907). The site served as his summer residence for 12 years and his permanent residence for seven years. Aspet, the sculptor's home, was once an old inn along the stagecoach road between Windsor, Vermont, and Meriden, New Hampshire. Issues identified during the scoping process include methods of accommodating visitation increases; the preservation of Aspet as well as numerous artworks located inside the house and throughout the grounds; and boundary expansion in order to preserve the historic visual character of the site. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under all of the alternatives, implementation would include the continued preservation of Aspet, Little Studio, the new gallery, the picture gallery, the ravine studio, the stable, and Blow-Me-Down Mill; climate control and fire prevention systems would be installed in all studios and galleries. Two outdoor memorials would be moved or modified in order to reduce environmental stress on the sculpture. Under the proposed action (Alternative 4), management actions would occur in two phases. In phase one, a new exhibition facility would be developed on the eastern border of the site, all maintenance facilities would be removed from the site, and new facilities as well as a visitor contact station would be constructed outside the grounds in the area south of Saint-Gaudens Road. In phase two, the MacLeay and Heim tracts would be acquired to provide a visitor center/museum, administrative headquarters, and security staff housing. Two additional tracts (Bulkeley and Brown) would also be acquired in order to buffer possible development on the site's periphery. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the historic and artistic resources of the site would be protected and preserved as much as possible, and visitor experience would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction would result in the loss of 1.4 acres of forested land. Congestion on Saint-Gaudens Road would increase when shuttle buses were not in operation.

AN - 36412156; 4998 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance to the Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District (SRP) of a federal coal lease for mining and related activities on 16,813 acres of land near Fence Lake in Catron and Cibola counties, New Mexico, and Apache County, Arizona, is proposed. The project would include two basic elements: the Fence Lake mine and its site facilities, located 14 miles north of the town of Quemado, New Mexico; and a 44-mile railroad corridor to be constructed west of the mine and terminating at the Coronado Generating Station located six miles northeast of St. Johns, Arizona. Under the proposal, SRP would mine a total of 81.3 million tons of coal from the site over a 38-year period. Approximately 35.6 million tons would be federal coal, and the remaining 45.7 million tons would be state-leased and privately-owned coal. The anticipated coal production during the first five years would be 1.8 million tons per year. The coal would be transported by rail to be used at SRP's existing Coronado generating station. The rail line would carry approximately 100 tons of coal per day. Following the release of the draft EIS of September 1990, additional baseline on the environmental effects of the mine were collected in response to public concerns. This draft supplement to the final EIS considers this additional data. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the issuance would allow for maximum economic recovery of the coal resource and excludes certain sensitive areas from leasing in order to protect resources and comply with the Bureau of Land Management's management plans. In addition to the substantial improvement in the long-term provision of energy via coal-generated electric power, the lease activities would provide local employment and county government income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 8,432 acres would be disturbed by mining, support facilities, and transportation rights-of-way. Following reclamation, the project area would be adversely affected topographically and geologically. All other adverse impacts, which would include air quality degradation, visual impacts, damage to grassland vegetative communities, and grazing resource losses, would be minor or negligible.

Preparation date: April 28, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RAND PROJECT, RANDSBURG, KERN COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36397415; 5007 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of mining operations at three adjacent open-pit, heap-leach mine projects operated by the Rand Mining Company, located in Kern County, California, is proposed. The projects, known as the Yellow Aster Mine-Descarga Project, the Lamont Mine Project, and the Baltic Mine Project, are located in eastern Kern County, 40 miles northeast of Mojave and 25 miles south of Ridgecrest. The 2,520-acre project area contains 855 acres of private land and 1,665 acres of unpatented lode and placer claims on public lands. The applicant has conducted gold and silver mining operations in the area since 1984. Under the proposed action, the project would involve the expansion of the three mines and the development of new facilities, including a satellite ore deposit, two waste rock stockpiles, two heap leach pads, and other processing facilities. An additional 60 million tons of ore and 72 million tons of waste rock would be mined from the three pit expansions and satellite deposits. The facilities would maintain an operating rate of 45,000 tons per day. The ore would be processed at the existing and proposed heap leach recovery facilities, extending the life of the ongoing operations by nine or ten years; as a result, mining would continue to occur until the year 2006, at which point a six-year reclamation effort would commence. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the expansion would sustain mining operations in the area for nine to ten more years, providing $17.6 million in expenditures for payroll, taxes, and local purchases. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The expansion would disturb an additional 511 acres. The area would be vulnerable to erosion during and after mining operations, and 130 acres would be permanently lost from grazing use. Wildlife would be displaced or killed as a result of mining activities, including the desert tortoise and the Mohave ground squirrel. The water table would decline significantly at certain locations because of the water requirements of the mining operations.

AN - 36395493; 5005 AB - PURPOSE: The drilling of additional natural gas wells on existing lease operations in Lincoln, Sweetwater, and Uinta counties in southeastern Wyoming, is proposed by the Moxa Arch operators, which include Amoco Production Company, Union Pacific Resources Company, Wexpro/Celsius Energy Company, Bannon Energy, Marathon Oil Company, Presidio Exploration, and other companies. The Moxa Arch Field is located in an area of checkerboard patterns of private and public land ownership. The applicants currently operate 957 wells in the area. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the applicants would be allowed to develop 1,325 new well sites in the next ten years: 610 well sites within the proven production area and 715 sites within the flank area, where production exists but reserves are not proven. The wells would be drilled to a depth of 11,300 feet to 12,300 feet. Water for drilling and service trailer use would be obtained from wells and nearby rivers; up to 420,000 gallons would be required per well. The new wells would, in turn, require the construction of 1,458 miles of pipeline and 795 miles of access road. The pipeline would be three or four inches in diameter and used in order to connect the new wells to the existing pipeline system. Approximately, 3,000 gallons of water would be used to test each new pipeline segment. A reduced-level development scenario is also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Without the drilling of additional wells, a significant amount of reserves would remain trapped in the reservoir rock upon abandonment of the field. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, a total of 20,293 acres would be disturbed including 8,838 acres from pipeline construction, 4,823 acres from road construction, and 6,625 acres from well site development. This disturbance would involve the loss of topsoil, vegetation, livestock forage, and wildlife habitat.

AN - 36397044; 5014 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, located in Pima County, Arizona, is proposed. The monument, which was established in 1937, consists of 330,689 acres of Sonoran Desert in southwestern Arizona along the border with Mexico. It contains a wide variety of ecologically significant resources, including the endangered Quitobaquito desert pupfish, and sites of archaeological and ethnological importance, some of which are still in use by the descendents of the original Tohono O'odham people, whose reservation borders the monument to the east. In 1976, the monument was designated a Biosphere Reserve as part of the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere program. With the steady growth in the number of people coming to the area, existing facilities have not been able to accommodate demand. Under the proposed action, the project would include upgrading existing programs and facilities to manage, preserve, protect, and interpret the park's resources. Major features of the plan would include increased regional, tri-national, and interagency cooperative efforts; the preservation for significant cultural resources; new facilities and other improvements in the Twin Peaks, Lukeville, and Quitobaquito Springs areas; and the designation of the monument as Sonoran Desert National Park. In addition, the National Park Service would launch a cooperative program to reduce the excessive volume and speed of traffic along State Route 85. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would improve the monument's interpretation facilities, thereby enhancing visitors' appreciation of the Sonoran Desert. Implementation under the proposed action would also lead to an expansion of national wilderness areas by 2,130 acres and help perpetuate the existence of endangered and sensitive species, including the Quitobaquito desert pupfish and Quitobaquito snail. A new trail system would help to control visitor use and reduce adverse ecological impacts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased visitation of the area would further increase air pollutant levels, despite the area's redesignation from a class II to a class I airshed. The proposed construction would result in the disturbance or loss of 58 acres of desert flora.

Preparation date: April 19, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BALD MOUNTAIN MINE EXPANSION PROJECT, ELKO AND WHITE PINE COUNTIES, NEVADA. AN - 36396113; 5009 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of its existing gold mining operation by Bald Mountain Mine Properties within the historic Bald Mountain mining area in White Pine County, Nevada, is proposed. The project area is located on public lands 75 miles northwest of the city of Ely, Nevada. The mining of gold and other precious metals has occurred in the area since 1869. Large-scale gold mining commenced in 1983 when the applicant installed a pilot scale 600-gallon-per-minute (gpm) heap leach project at Bald Mountain Mine; in 1985, the project was upgraded to a 1,200-gpm facility. Under the proposed action, the applicant would expand its operations by developing the Horseshoe /Galaxy Mine to the southeast of its existing facility and by expanding its operations in the process and top areas. The expansion would involve constructing an open pit at Sage Flats, just south of the existing Top pit and a new waste rock dump east of the pit. The existing Top pit would be expanded and its waste rock dump would be expanded into South Water Canyon. Finally, an ore processing facility would be constructed adjacent to the Number 2 process facility. The new Horseshoe/Galaxy Mine would involve developing seven pits in three locations and processing the ore at a new facility in Mooney Basin. Existing roads would be upgraded to accommodate the 85-ton haul trucks and new roads to the new sites would be constructed. Development of the new mine and expansion of the Top pit would yield an estimated 12.1 million tons of ore over the project's 12-year life. The new mine would yield an estimated 4.5 million tons of ore over a four-year period. All but 134 acres would be reclaimed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the expansion would help to ensure a continued domestic supply of a scarce commodity and would aid the local economy by employing an additional 25 persons and increasing the annual payroll by up to $9.1 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, some 1,450 acres would be disturbed, and the loss of vegetation would adversely affect wildlife and grazing uses. Waste rock dumps could generate runoff with elevated levels of arsenic, iron, manganese, and mercury.

Preparation date: April 18, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TUCSON AQUEDUCT SYSTEM RELIABILITY INVESTIGATION, CENTRAL ARIZONA PROJECT, PIMA COUNTY, ARIZONA. AN - 15223713; 5079 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a surface storage reservoir on a site located southwest of the city of Tucson in the vicinity of Black Wash and the Pascua Yaqui Indian Reservation near Tucson, Arizona, is proposed. The 15,000-acre-feet (15,000-af) reservoir would provide area water users with short-term delivery reliability during periods when the aqueduct system is out of service for maintenance. The aqueduct system, which begins at Lake Havasu, is capable of delivering 2.2 million af of Colorado River water annually to Phoenix and Tucson. Because Tucson is located at the terminus of the system, the city is especially vulnerable to service interruptions; stored water from the proposed reservoir would be used whenever such interruptions occur. A full reservoir would be capable of meeting winter demands for at least 30 days and peak summer demands for up to two weeks. Water would be delivered to the reservoir via the Black Mountain Pipeline. Five alternatives, including a No Federal Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Two operation schemes are under consideration for the delivery of water to the users located south of the Tucson turnout. One option would involve constructing a separate pumping plant at the reservoir; the other option would involve building a bypass pipeline parallel to the existing Black Mountain Pipeline. Depending on the ultimate configuration of the reservoir, the reservoir might inundate some lands owned by the Pascua Yaqui Tribe; in that event, a land exchange with the reservation would occur. Recreational facilities being considered for the reservoir include a campground, swimming beach, boating beach, headquarters facility, and parking lots. The total estimated cost under the proposed action is $76.5 million. Two other alternatives are also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a reliable backup water supply for the city of Tucson and save the city the expense of maintaining a costly well system. The reservoir would provide public recreation opportunities in an area that lacks a significant water resource. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Up to 1,100 acres of semidesert grassland habitat would be inundated under the proposed action. Construction would displace lands that contain at least 67 Pima pineapple cacti, an endangered species. The reservoir would lose a significant amount of water to evaporation and seepage. The proposed reservoir site is a potential fissure area; as a result, some imported material would be required for the embankment.

Preparation date: April 18, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTHEAST REGIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENTS AND GEYSERS EFFLUENT PIPELINE PROJECT, LAKE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36402553; 5072 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the Southeast Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant located north of the city of Clearlake, California is proposed. The improvement is mandated by a cease and desist order issued by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board that prohibits any hook-ups that would exceed plant treatment capacity. Furthermore, local regulations prohibit the plant from discharging treated effluent into a nearby creek and into Clear Lake. At present, effluent is directed into a 561-acre-foot reservoir adjacent to the plant; from there it is sprinkle-irrigated on 244 acres of range land during dry periods. This irrigation system would be incapable of disposing of all the effluent if the systems capacity were increased. Under the proposed action, improvements would include the construction a 26-mile, 24-inch pipeline from the plant to The Geysers, where the effluent would be injected into the steam field to produce steam needed for power generation. Since 1987, steam production at this facility has declined because of the loss of steam pressure in the reservoir rock. The wastewater effluent would be a new source of water to compensate for this decline; the pipeline would be capable of delivering 5,400 gallons per minute to the geothermal facility. The pipeline would run south through the city of Clearlake and the community of Lower Lake, south to Middletown, to the Southeast Geysers steamfield. Pipeline-related facilities would include six turbine pumps at the wastewater treatment plant that would pump the effluent to a 620,000-gallon steel tank located on a site below Childers Peak; additional pumps and pipeline at the Middletown treatment plant; up to five pump stations at Bear Canyon to lift the effluent from 1,470 feet above sea level to The Geysers, which is 3,330 feet above sea level; and a 100,000-gallon storage tank at The Geysers. Additional pipelines would be constructed at The Geysers to carry the effluent as injection fluid to 15 existing and seven future well heads, where injection into the steam field would occur. Intake facilities, pumps, and a pipeline would be constructed at Clear Lake so that lake water could be merged with the effluent. [The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has adopted the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management's final EIS filed on April 17, 1995. The EPA was not a cooperating agency for the final EIS.] POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the treatment capacity of the wastewater plant serving the city of Clearlake and unincorporated adjacent areas would be increased, and the facility would be brought into compliance with state and local regulations. The diversion of effluent to The Geysers would allow the facility to increase its production of geothermal energy by 184 million kilowatts per hour. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would result in increased erosion and increased silt deposition in stream channels. Construction of the lake diversion intake would substantially increase turbidity. Pipeline construction would result in habitat losses for the California red-legged frog, bald eagles, and other species. Workers could be exposed to asbestos fibers, mercury, and other heavy metals while excavating serpentine rock. Some potential for groundwater contamination would exist as a result of leakage from the reservoir, storage tanks, or pipeline.

DALEN Resources Oil and Gas Company proposes to continue to infill drill their existing Fontanelle II unit and adjacent leased acreage (25,323 acres). In addition, Cabot Oil and Gas Corporation, Presidio Oil Company, and several other companies (collectively the Lincoln Road Operators) would infill drill their leased acreage within the Lincoln Road Development area (154,437 acres). The two lease operations, which are immediately adjacent to one another, are located 30 miles northeast of Kemmerer, Wyoming, and 70 miles northwest of Rock Springs. Currently, 1,070 wells are active on both leases. Under DALEN's proposed action, the company would drill, complete, and test, and produce up to 221 additional gas wells within the next ten years; construct 6 miles of roads to access individual well sites; construct 29 miles of above-ground pipeline to connect the 221 infill wells to DALEN's pipeline system; and construct 36 miles of joint road and pipeline corridor. Under the Lincoln Road Operators' proposed action, the companies would drill, complete, and test, and produce up to 1,096 additional gas wells within the next ten years; construct 31 miles of roads to access individual well sites; construct 140 miles of below-ground pipeline to connect the infill wells to DALEN's pipeline system; and construct 242 miles of joint road and pipeline corridor. Under the Resource Protection Alternative, developed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), 12 new wells would be eliminated from the DALEN proposal, as would 77 wells from the Lincoln Road proposal, in order to minimize impacts on natural resources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Without the drilling of additional wells, a significant amount of reserves would remain trapped in the reservoir rock upon abandonment of the field. DALEN estimates that infill drilling would increase gas recovery from the area by 222 billion cubic feet of gas, while the Lincoln Road Operators estimate that gas recovery in the area would increase by up to two trillion cubic feet. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the DALEN proposal, as modified by BLM, construction-related impacts would include the conversion of 252 acres of shrub/brush rangeland to oil and gas production, the disturbance of 770 acres of vegetation including 15 acres in floodplains, and the displacement of up to 59 animal unit months per year. Under the Lincoln Road proposal, as modified by BLM, construction-related impacts would include the conversion of 6,470 acres of shrub/brush rangeland to oil and gas production, the disturbance of 6,676 acres of vegetation including 111 acres in floodplains, and the displacement of up to 514 animal unit months per year. Under both of the proposals, the project would result in a loss of topsoil in areas where reclamation is poor, increase the potential for sedimentation into the Green river and its tributaries, and disturb range areas for antelope, mule deer, and other wildlife. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, amendments (P.L. 94-377).

Preparation date: April 14, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CANAL PARKWAY DEVELOPMENT STUDY, FROM MD 51 TO THE WILEY FORD BRIDGE, ALLEGANY COUNTY, MARYLAND. AN - 36409487; 5050 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of various roads for the Cumberland, Maryland, area in order to improve access from Interstate 68 and downtown Cumberland to the South Cumberland area and the Cumberland Municipal Airport, located across the Potomac River in West Virginia, is proposed. The existing two-lane Virginia Avenue underpass of the CSX Railroad is the only access route linking these two areas of Cumberland. The underpass currently experiences traffic congestion during peak periods; as a result, Virginia Avenue has an accident rate higher than similar facilities. In addition to the No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), three build alternatives and two optional connections at the Ford Avenue crossing of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal (C&O Canal) are considered in this final EIS. Under Alternative 2, Virginia Avenue would be widened to four lanes from Fourth Street to Bowen Street. The CSX bridge could be replaced in order to improve the vertical clearance of the underpass. In addition, curbs and sidewalks would be added, and the existing roadway would be resurfaced. Under Alternative 3, a two-lane, undivided highway would be built on a new location from MD 51 west of Virginia Avenue to the area of River Avenue and Ford Avenue. Ford Avenue would be improved to the Wiley Ford Bridge. Under Alternative 4 (the preferred alternative), a two-lane, undivided highway would be built on a new location from MD 51 at Wineow Street to the area of River Avenue and Ford Avenue, and Ford Avenue would be improved to the Wiley Ford Bridge. Under the two optional connections (Option A and Option B), the project would include the removal of the existing low-arch bridge, which carries Ford Avenue over the C&O Canal, and the construction of a new full-clearance bridge over the canal and towpath. A raised profile along Ford Avenue would be needed to accommodate the new roadway and bridge. Under the preferred option (Option B), the project would involve shifting Ford Avenue slightly to the west and reconstructing it as a new two-lane, undivided roadway from approximately 200 feet south of the C&O Canal Bridge to its intersection with River Avenue. Also under consideration is a related action involving the re-watering of the C&O Canal from the existing Ford Avenue crossing to its terminus in downtown Cumberland and the reconstruction of the towpath. This area lies south of MD 51 and the CSX railroad tracks and is bounded on three sides by the Potomac River. Under this proposal, approximately two miles of C&O Canal would be rewatered, and the canal and towpath would be restored to their historic elevations. The project would require the excavation of the canal and the restructuring of a portion of the Corps of Engineers flood protection project that was completed in the 1950s. A retaining wall would be built along the shale embankment that currently supports the CSX Railroad tracks. The parklands alongside the Canal would be publicly accessible at the Terminus and South Park areas as well as from existing streets in South Cumberland. The estimated cost under the preferred alternative is $25.0 million to $30.0 million; the estimated cost of the proposed park improvement ranges from $60 million to $80 million. Although these two actions are both evaluated in this final EIS, they could be implemented independently of one another. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed transportation project, traffic operation and safety would be improved. The connection between downtown Cumberland and the municipal airport would also be improved, thereby aiding the local economy. Restoration of the C&O Canal would increase tourist interest in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for transportation improvements would displace seven residences and seven businesses, and adversely affect up to six historic districts and some archaeological sites; some additional displacements would occur as the result of future park improvements. Up to 1.0 acres of the Potomac River floodplain and 4.0 acres of wetlands would be adversely affected by the transportation improvements, while the park improvements would adversely affect 80 acres of floodplain and 12 acres of wetlands.

Preparation date: April 13, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - YELLOWSTONE PIPELINE EASEMENT RENEWAL; LAKE, MISSOUAL, AND SANDERS COUNTIES, MONTANA. AN - 36396232; 4997 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal by Yellowstone Pipe Line Company of an easement for 68.7 miles of its existing 10-inch pipeline that crosses the Flathead Indian Reservation of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes in western Montana. Roughly 56 miles of the pipeline crosses the reservation. The pipeline carries refined petroleum products from refineries in the Billings, Montana, area to terminal facilities in Spokane, Washington, Fairchild Air Force Base, and Grant County Airport in Moses Lake, Washington. The pipelines satisfies roughly one-third of the public demand for petroleum products in the Spokane area, eastern Washington, and northern Idaho. In addition, it provides all of the military jet fuel used by the air force base. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the renewal would allow the continued use of the existing pipeline and its right-of-way, subject to various maintenance checks and safety procedures. These procedures would include semiannual pipe-to-soil surveys; cathodic protection close interval surveys in 1996 and 2006; using advanced technology for internal inspection of corrosion-related defects in 1999 and 2009; hydrostatic pressure testing with water for identification of manufacturing-related defects in 2003 and 2012; and improved capabilities for remote detection of leaks or spills. In addition, the spill response plan would be amended to deal with the possibility of a leak or a spill on reservation lands, and spill-response equipment would be positioned at a central location on the reservation. An alternative plan under which 11.5 miles of pipeline would be relocated in order to avoid geologically unstable or environmentally sensitive areas is also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would continue to supply petroleum products to areas that are dependent on delivery by pipeline. The pipeline currently transports 28,641 barrels per day west of Missoula. The cost of gasoline in those areas would increase dramatically if the pipeline were shut down. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the pipeline would run parallel to major water bodies for 19.7 miles; a spill or leak in those locations would have serious environmental effects. During a 20-year period, the pipeline would experience up to 2.3 ruptures or leaks, resulting in an environmental release of up to 11,861 barrels.

Preparation date: April 10, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RECONSTRUCTION OF US HIGHWAY 2 BETWEEN COLUMBIA HEIGHTS AND HUNGRY HORSE (PROJECT F1-2(39) 138), FLATHEAD COUNTY, MONTANA. AN - 36400544; 5054 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of a 4.4-mile segment of US 2 in Flathead County, Montana, is proposed. The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) proposes to widen the existing route from Columbia Heights, a suburb of Columbia Falls, to Hungry Horse. Three alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the project would include the replacement of a bridge over the South Fork of the Flathead River, which is necessary because the existing facility is worn out and warrants traffic safety and capacity improvements. Under the MDT preferred alternative, the project would involve a four-lane design to replace the 24-foot-wide, two-lane facility; the design would include a continuous-median, left-turn lane from the project's beginning in Columbia Heights to Berne Road, where a new river access and historic exhibit area would be built. An undivided four-lane road would be built through Badrock Canyon for the Berne Road-to-Hungry Horse section of the corridor. As mitigation for impacts to Berne Memorial Park, MDT would develop the new access on the Flathead River and enhance recreational opportunities in the region. The total estimated costs under the preferred alternative are $14.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under all of the build alternatives, the project would provide operational and safety improvements over the existing facility, including a reduction in accident rates. Under the preferred alternative, the project would provide for a wider shoulder lane, which would improve bicycle facilities in the corridor; sidewalks, which would facilitate pedestrian movement; and the control of future land uses and protection of visual resources in Badrock Canyon through the acquisition of private lands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under all of the build alternatives, the project would adversely affect the Flathead River and riparian areas in Badrock Canyon by clearing right-of-way and placing fill in the river. Bald eagles could be adversely affected by the removal of vegetation used for perching and roosting sites along the river. Some farmland would be converted for right-of-way. Some features of Berne Memorial Park and the use of its facilities would be adversely affected under any of the build alternatives. The right-of-way acquisition would displace several households and businesses along the corridor, and some portions of yards and parking areas would be lost. Additional development along the corridor could be stimulated by highway reconstruction and improved access. Visual resources in Badrock Canyon would be adversely affected by the removal of trees and excavation of rock cliffs.

Preparation date: April 1, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED ACREAGE LIMITATION AND WATER CONSERVATION RULES AND REGULATIONS. AN - 36395207; 5076 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of revised acreage limitation and water conservation rules and regulations is proposed. These regulations would replace and expand upon existing rules that pertain to the administration of the Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 within 17 western states. Current reclamation projects consist of 347 storage dams and reservoirs, 52 hydroelectric powerplants, 300 recreation sites, and over 16,000 miles of canals. The projects provide roughly 5 million acre-feet (af) of water each year to about 30 million people and 25 million af of water for irrigation on over 11 million irrigable acres for the production of crops valued at about $9.0 billion annually. Amendments to the 1982 Act would include provisions for increasing the acreage ownership limitation for qualified recipients from 160 to 960 acres, requiring water districts to develop water conservation plans, and creating a new type of entitlement for landholders subject to either the discretionary or prior law provisions, commonly known as the nonfull-cost entitlement. The proposed regulatory revisions would expand and modify the definition of a lease, basing it primarily on possession of land. Some operators working under a farm management agreement or similar mechanism would fall under this definition of a lease and be treated as lessees, while true custom service providers and parties sharing farm equipment would not be considered lessees. The regulations would establish data reporting thresholds that range from 240 acres for qualified recipients to 40 acres for nonfull-cost entitlement; forms would be retained for a six-year period. The regulations would also clarify how land would be attributed to indirect landholders and in parent-subsidiary relationships; under these guidelines, individuals and entities would not be able to enhance their entitlements or eligibility through the creation of legal entities. All districts would be required to prepare conservation plans except those under 2,000 acres, those receiving only municipal and industrial water from any reclamation project and providing it to fewer than 3,300 people, those receiving less than 2,000 af of water per year, those with temporary contracts, and those meeting approved state/federal standards. Plans would be updated every five years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The regulatory revisions would reduce the administrative costs of implementing the 1982 Act as amended and provide specific resource management guidance for Reclamation water users. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The tightening of leasing restrictions under the revisions would adversely affect those operators who were not in full compliance with the 1982 Act as amended. LEGAL MANDATES: Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 (P.L. 97-293).

AN - 36400179; 5034 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for livestock grazing and prairie dog control on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation and the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation, located within central South Dakota, is proposed. Livestock production is the primary industry and income source for individual Indian landowners and tribes on both reservations. Since the early 1900s, federal and state agencies have funded programs to control and eradicate prairie dogs, which compete with livestock for forage and create economic hardships for ranchers. However, the use of poisons as a control method has threatened the survival of the black-footed ferret, which preys on the prairie dog. Four alternatives for the management of the Rosebud Sioux Reservation and seven alternatives for the management of the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative for the Cheyenne Reservation (Alternative 2), range improvements, including 903 dams, 75 water wells, and 682.5 miles of fencing, would be developed. Surveys and studies of endangered and threatened species in the area would be performed. Landowners would be compensated in order to maintain prairie dog towns for black-footed ferret reintroduction and maintenance of the prairie ecosystem. Limited chemical control of prairie dogs would be conducted. Under the preferred alternative for the Rosebud Reservation (also Alternative 2), some 45,000 acres of prairie dog towns would be controlled by chemical methods with a goal of at least 90 percent control. Follow up chemical control and increased levels of grazing management would occur on areas obtaining at least 90 percent control. Areas with less than 90 percent control would be retreated on the third and fifth years after initial treatment. If chemical treatment were still unsuccessful after the fifth year, it would be discontinued on that area and grazing management alone would be implemented. Under this alternative, implementation would also include the implementation of grazing, resource management activities, and the replanting of native grasses. This final EIS, which is issued in abbreviated format, includes a detailed analysis of the preferred alternatives as well as public comments and agency responses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, efforts would be made to improve the livestock production capacity of reservation lands, while preserving up to 12,000 acres of prairie dog and black-footed ferret habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Ecosystem instability on the Rosebud Reservation would make the range susceptible to stresses which would inhibit it from producing sustainable quality forage over the long term. Improved grazing management could decrease the number of prairie dog towns on the Cheyenne Reservation. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).

Preparation date: March 24, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MOUNTAIN GOAT MANAGEMENT WITHIN OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK; CLALLAM, GRAYS HARBOR, JEFFERSON, AND MASON COUNTIES, WASHINGTON. AN - 36384631; 5038 AB - PURPOSE: The management of mountain goat populations on the Olympic National Park, located in western Washington, is proposed. Management would protect the natural vegetation, soils, and ecological processes in the alpine and subalpine areas within the park from threats caused by mountain goats. Mountain goats cause significant impacts to native ecosystems of the park. These goats are exotic (non-native) species within the park. The National Park Service (NPS) management policy is to take action on exotic species whenever such species threaten park resources and when control (up to and including eradication) is prudent and feasible. The NPS goal is native ecosystems free from any grazing, wallowing, trampling, and other threats by non-native mountain goats. Goats were introduced to the Olympic Range during the 1920s, apparently to develop a population that could be hunted. The park was established in 1938 and hunting was prohibited shortly thereafter. A census conducted in 1994 indicated a population of approximately 389 with a standard error of 106 animals. Habitats occupied by goats are essentially alpine and subalpine "islands" because the Olympic peninsula is bordered by large bodies of salt water on three sides and lowland forests to the south. This geographic isolation produced an assemblage of plants and animals that differs from other areas in Washington. In addition, the peninsula's history of glaciation allowed unique plants to develop; some, developed in the absence of goats, have not been found anywhere else in the world. Threats to 33 known rare and/or endemic plant taxa include risks to individual plants, subpopulations, and populations. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative, management would call for the shooting of all goats from helicopters. Under the other action alternative, management would be a combination of live captures and shooting. The initial elimination program would cost approximately $337,000 over five years. Costs for the maintenance program would be approximately $27,000 for one maintenance cycle during the ten-year period. Vegetation monitoring under the preferred alternative would cost $455,000. Helicopters would require approximately 12,530 gallons of jet fuel; a fuel truck would require 1,704 gallons of diesel fuel. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, adverse goat impacts and threats to native ecosystems would be largely eliminated in approximately three years. Wilderness, biosphere reserve, and world heritage values would be preserved. Visitors would experience park resources unimpaired by exotic goats. Shooting from helicopters would be safer than helicopter live-capture operations because there would be no need to land or release passengers in the formidably steep terrain. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness users would be adversely affected during the management program. Visitors would no longer be able to observe goats within the park. Helicopter noise and rotor wash could adversely affect some endangered native wildlife species.

AN - 36405040; 5021 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a resource management plan for 688,725 acres of surface estate land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the Royal Gorge Resource Area of the Canon City District, located in eastern Colorado, is proposed. The resource area is approximately 320 miles long and 250 miles wide extending from the Continental Divide on the west to the Wyoming and Nebraska borders on the north, the Kansas border on the east, and the Oklahoma and New Mexico borders on the south. Four alternatives were considered in the draft EIS of September 1993, including a No Action Alternative, which would involve the continued management under three independent plans for the area. This final EIS, which is issued in abbreviated format, contains public comments and agency responses and detailed analysis of the preferred alternative (Alternative D). Under the preferred alternative, grazing would be permitted on 98 percent of the land (642,884 acres); approximately 67 percent of the land (435,180 acres) would be open to mineral disposal under standard lease terms, 20 percent (132,977 acres) would be open seasonally, and 13 percent (84,843 acres) would be closed; off-highway vehicle use would be unrestricted on 3 percent of the land (16,356 acres), limited seasonally on 85 percent (558,802 acres), and prohibited on 12 percent (77,842 acres); big game birthing areas, developed recreational sites, and areas identified as having paleontological value would be protected from mineral development, timber harvesting, and other potential disturbances. Historical and archaeological resources would be protected through designating ten areas of critical environmental concern totaling 78,556 acres. Approximately 877 miles of roads, trails, and railroads would be allowed, and 56 miles of new access would be provided. Primitive and semi-primitive recreational opportunities would be maintained on 61,624 acres. Approximately 125,000 acres in the Arkansas River corridor would be recommended for National Recreation Area designation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Full implementation of the plan would update and consolidate three existing plans for the resource area and thereby improve overall management for the next 15 to 20 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mineral operations, particularly fluid minerals, would face more restrictions under the preferred alternative than under most other alternatives. Up to 2 percent of the high potential fluid mineral areas would be restricted, which could adversely affect the industry. The net loss of livestock grazing on 325 to 650 acres could adversely affect three operators. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

Preparation date: March 13, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - STATE ROUTES 9 AND 530, STILLAGUAMISH RIVER BRIDGES 9/132 AND 530/120 REPLACEMENT PROJECT, ARLINGTON, SNOHOMISH COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36406149; 5062 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of approximately three miles of roadway on State Route 9 (SR 9) and SR 530, located within and near the city of Arlington, Washington, is proposed. The project would replace Stillaguamish River bridges 9/132 and 530/120, which are structurally deficient and functionally obsolete; improve traffic operations and carrying capacity to meet the traffic volume demand in the year 2015; improve the safety of the SR 9 and SR 530 corridors through and near Arlington; and allow for community development within Arlington and unincorporated Snohomish County. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the three action alternatives, the project would replace the two bridges and realign SR 9 so that it would go north from its existing westerly intersection with SR 530, cross the Stillaguamish River, and reconnect with the existing SR 9 alignment just north of Schloman Road. Under the Burke Avenue Alternative, SR 530 would be realigned from the curve west of Arlington so that it would go easterly through the city along Burke Avenue. The alignment would cross the South Fork of the Stillaguamish River just west of and adjacent to the existing SR 530 bridge. It would match the existing alignment just to the north of the existing bridge. And improvements would continue to a point just north of Twin Rivers County Park. Under the Northern Bypass Alternative, SR 530 would connect with the new SR 9 alignment at Division Street and cross the Stillaguamish River on the new SR 9 bridge. On the north side of the river, SR 530 would leave the SR 9 alignment and proceed east across the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River on a new bridge, joining the existing SR 530 alignment in the vicinity of the Arlington Heights Road intersection. Under this alternative, the SR 530 bridge would be replaced with a pedestrian bridge for access to Twin Rivers County Park. Under the Bypass/Throughpass Alternative, the preferred alternative, a segment of SR 530 would be constructed on an alignment similar to that in the Northern Bypass Alternative. The existing section of SR 530, from its intersection with SR 9 to its intersection with Arlington Heights Road, would be rechannelized and signalized where necessary to improve traffic through the city. The estimated cost under the preferred alternative is $33.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide roadway improvements that are needed to keep pace with traffic volume, which has increased approximately 5.5 percent annually since 1975, and also reduce the number of accidents on the two bridges and roadways. Construction activities would generate an estimated 925 new jobs, and $27.8 million in wages and salaries. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Nearly the entire project area would be located within the Stillaguamish River floodplain, which would be adversely affected by new earthfill bridge approaches, concrete bridge piers, and increased storm-water runoff. Construction would require the displacement of 22.3 acres of prime farmland; the demolition of eight structures, most of them residences; and the acquisition of some lands from Twin Rivers County Park.

AN - 36396339; 5028 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for approximately 9.3 million acres of public land in the Big Dry Resource Area, located in eastern Montana, is proposed. The resource area extends throughout a 13-county region containing approximately 17.5 million acres, including 1.7 million acres in which the surface is federally owned and 7.6 million acres in which the minerals are federally owned. The plan focuses on two issues: the designation of areas with special values or resources as special management areas, and the accessibility and availability of resources. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative D), the plan would seek to take a balanced approach to resource development and conservation in resolving issues involving mineral development, timber management, and livestock grazing. Five cultural sites (144 public surface and mineral acres of Hoe Recreation Area; 1,386 public surface and 1,098 public mineral acres of Powder River Depot Recreation Area; 360 public surface and mineral acres of Big Sheep Mountain Recreation Area; 80 public surface and mineral acres of Seline Recreation Area; and 160 public surface and 120 public mineral acres of Jordan Bison Kill Recreation Area) would be designated as areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs). Under the preferred alternative, oil and gas leasing would be permitted with a no-surface-occupancy (NSO) stipulation and rights-of-way (ROW) construction would be avoided within the ACECs. In addition, the Smoky Butte area would be designated as an ACEC. Four areas containing a total of 48,713 mineral acres would be set aside as paleontological areas, although mineral exploration and leasing with a NSO stipulation could be allowed on those lands. ROW would be avoided in Makoshika State Park, in special wildlife areas, and in special recreation areas (10,148 acres). A 69-acre parcel would be designated as the Calypso Recreation Area. Some 2,858 acres of land would be designated as the Cherry Creek Recreation Area, in which a dam with a 50-foot pool depth would be constructed. A 171-acre area would be designated as the Powder River Depot Recreation Area, in which only oil and gas leasing would be allowed, with a NSO stipulation. Recreational facilities would be provided along the Lewis and Clark Trail. Fallon County would receive 640 acres of public lands for a sanitary landfill. Development of coal would be considered on 580,547 acres containing 6.18 billion tons of coal. Approximately 1.6 million acres would have limited off-road-vehicle use, while vehicles would be allowed without restrictions on 2,320 acres. Special areas would be set aside in order to protect the black-footed ferret (11,166 acres) and the piping plover (16 acres). Approximately 77.668 acres would be available to oil and gas leasing with a NSO stipulation. Livestock grazing would be excluded in the Calypso, Cherry Creek, and Powder River Depot special recreation management areas and, from May 1 to July 15, in the Piping Plover ACEC. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Full implementation of the plan would result in both managed use of resources and preservation of the character of the area. The plan would increase the number and type of recreational opportunities available; enhance the protection of fish and wildlife; and increase recreation-related employment and businesses in the local area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Up to 228 cultural sites have been identified in the acreage set aside for oil and gas leasing, and these areas would require special protection. Four to five additional sites are located in areas set aside for off-road-vehicle use. Over the next 20 years, the gamut of permitted development and recreation activities in the project area would encounter up to 2,092 cultural properties, of which up to 296 properties would be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Reduced animal unit months for livestock grazing would result in temporary economic hardship for ranchers. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

Preparation date: March 6, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TEXACO'S STAGECOACH DRAW UNIT NATURAL GAS FIELD DEVELOPMENT, SWEETWATER COUNTY, WYOMING. AN - 36409041; 5003 AB - PURPOSE: The development of natural gas resources near the town of Farson in northwestern Sweetwater County, Wyoming, is proposed. The drilling would be done within the 23,575-acre Stagecoach Draw Unit, located approximately seven miles southwest of Farson and 30 miles north of Rock Springs on predominately rolling terrain in the east-central Green River Basin. Except for five exploratory wells drilled by the project applicant, Texaco USA, there are no active oil and gas wells in the project area. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the project would explore for and develop natural gas reserves at depths of 8,000 to 9,000 feet in the Almond Formation. Beginning in 1995, up to 72 gas wells would be drilled on a 320-acre spacing pattern. Initial development would involve 36 wells on a 640-acre pattern, drilled over a three- to four-year period to determine reservoir characteristics, after which additional wells would be developed as well performance and economic conditions dictate. Initial production from each well would range from 0.5 to 4 million cubic feet per day. The wellpad area required for drilling and completion operations, including cut /fill slopes and topsoil/subsoil stockpiles, would average approximately 2.2 acres. Prior to wellpad construction, all available topsoil would be stripped from all cut/fill areas and stockpiled adjacent to the site for reclamation purposes. Drilling would utilize a water-based mud system with additives to prevent lost circulation and enhance hole stabilization and/or conditioning. Each well would require 12,750 barrels of water per day. In addition, 63.5 miles of access roads and pipelines would be constructed. The access roads would include a 5.6 mile road from US 191 to the eastern boundary of the unit. A 144-well alternative is also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development would benefit the local economy and could help reduce U.S. dependency on foreign energy sources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, up to 570 acres would be initially disturbed from well locations and road construction. Removal of vegetation would increase erosion and disturb crucial rangeland for antelope. Increases in total suspended particulates and trace gas emissions would occur.

AN - 36397003; 5013 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the general management plan for the Grand Canyon National Park, located in Coconino and Mohave counties, Arizona, is proposed. The plan would guide the management of resources, visitor use, and general development within the park for the next 10 to 15 years. The plan would focus on the developed areas of the park (South Rim, North Rim, Tuweep, and the corridor trails), and the best means of accommodating the annual visits of five million people a year. The roads and facilities in the developed parts of the park were not designed to handle this volume of use. The result has been the gradual degradation of the visitor experience and unacceptable impacts on the park's natural and cultural resources. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (a continuation of current management alternative), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative 2), the revision would emphasize regional cooperation for information distribution, regional resource preservation, and a quality visitor experience. A shift away from reliance on private automobiles would occur, and alternative modes of transportation would be emphasized throughout the region, with staging areas linked to regional private transit services in outlying communities and a public transit system within the park. A bike/pedestrian trail system would be developed within the park. Most new development would occur in previously disturbed areas, and historic structures would be adaptively reused. The number of private vehicles allowed to park on the South Rim at any one time would be limited. During peak seasons private vehicles would be removed from the village, the West Rim, and East Rim overlooks. These areas would become pedestrian spaces where visitors would enjoy the views, learn about the park's interpretive themes, and find secluded spots. A public transit system operating along the bike and pedestrian trails would provide access along the South Rim. Overnight lodging would be increased by about 25 percent by adaptively reusing existing structures, and the total number of campsites would be increased by about 18 percent. Along the North Rim, private vehicle access on Bright Angel Point would be restricted, and transit service, as well as bike and pedestrian pathways, would be expanded on the point and Walhalla Plateau. Day use limits at Tuweep would be established at a maximum of 30 vehicles or 85 visitors. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the revision would stabilize park growth, enhance natural and cultural resource preservation, significantly improve the visitor experience, create better living and working conditions for park employees, and benefit the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some visitors would be inconvenienced by having to use alternative modes of transportation to reach certain park areas.

AN - 36395900; 4993 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation by Sierra Pacific Power Company of an approximately 164-mile-long, overhead electric power transmission line from Alturas, California, to Reno, Nevada, is proposed. The 345-kilovolt line would provide power to wholesale customers, accommodate anticipated growth in the Reno area, and connect with the Bonneville Power Administration and PacifiCorp power systems in Oregon and Washington. Most of the project (approximately 140 miles) would follow in a general north-south direction through northeastern California, from a few miles northwest of the city of Alturas to the California/Nevada state line near Border Town, Nevada. Before reaching Border Town, the line would also extend into Nevada for a few miles east of the Fort Sage Mountains. From Border Town, the line would travel in a southeasterly direction until it reaches Reno, Nevada. The land crossed by the transmission line would be 44 percent private and 56 percent public. The transmission line would be suspended from structures 70 to 130 feet high that are spaced about 1,200 feet apart. Approximately 730 such structures would be required. The project would require the construction of two substations in California, one northwest of Alturas and one in Sierra County, California, just west of Border Town, Nevada; in addition, the applicant's substation north of Reno would be expanded. The alignment has been subdivided into thirteen sections; within most sections, alternative alignments are being considered. Eight designated alignment alternatives and two alternative sites for new substations are considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to supplying electric power to the growing area of Reno, the project would improve network connections between the power grids in the Pacific Northwest and the Southwest, allowing utilities to take advantage of regional variation in demand. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: In order to connect with the substation north of Reno, the transmission line would have to cross a rapidly growing area in the city of Sparks, resulting in property ownership constraints and potentially significant land use, visual, and air quality impacts. The project would significantly degrade residential and recreational land use, scenic quality. and wildlife habitat. An accident or structural failure could result in blockages of highways and rail facilities. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

Preparation date: March 2, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ROUTE D (PAGE AVENUE EXTENSION), BENNINGTON PLACE WESTERLY TO ROUTE 40, SAINT CHARLES AND SAINT LOUIS COUNTIES, MISSOURI (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF NOVEMBER 1992). AN - 36383828; 4956 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a freeway that includes a bridge crossing the Missouri River, within Saint Charles and Saint Louis counties, Missouri, is proposed. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative and two build alternatives, each with three subalternatives, were considered in the final EIS of November 1992. Under the final EIS's proposed action, Page Avenue (Route D) would extend from its present terminus at Bennington Place, immediately west of Interstate 270 (I-270) in Saint Louis County, proceed across the Missouri River to Route 94 in Saint Charles County, and then continue on to either I-70 or Route 40/61 (the future I-64), a distance of 14.4 to 20.95 miles. Under the final EIS's preferred alternative (the Red Alignment), the facility would be a ten-lane, limited-access highway with a 26-foot-wide median from Bennington Place to Route 94. As part of the Red Alignment, from Hamsath Road to Route N, Route 94 would become an eight- to ten-lane, limited-access highway with a 26-foot-wide median. One-way outer roads would be provided as service roads along this segment. From Route 94 to Route 40/61, the Red Alignment would be a four-lane, limited-access highway with a 70-foot-wide median. Grade separations for Bennington Place would be constructed over the Page Avenue Extension and the west half of a diamond interchange. Grade separations would also be provided at Amiot Drive and Seven Pines Drive, the River Valley Road, Route 94, Motherhead Road, and Henke Road. The bridge over the Missouri River would extend 3,550 feet and consist of ten 12-foot travel lanes, four ten-foot shoulders, and a three-foot-wide median barrier. A bridge approximately 2,800 feet long would span Creve Coeur Lake, Creve Coeur Creek, and associated wooded bottomland. The alignment would also the southern portion of the Creve Coeur Lake Memorial Park. This final supplement to the final EIS considers the environmental effects of converting 184 acres of heavily wooded parkland to highway use, and considers five alternative tracts of land to be offered as replacement property. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative B), the project would involve the replacement of the 184 acres of parkland with 464.8 acres of Fish and Wildlife Service lands. The property, which lies south and west of the proposed Page Avenue Extension, would include tracts of wooded wetlands, emergent wetlands, and farmed wetlands. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The chronic traffic congestion at the Missouri River crossings between Saint Charles and Saint Louis counties would be relieved, and concurrent reductions in energy costs and improvement of air quality would be effected. Additional benefits would be improved traffic flow conditions within Saint Charles and Saint Louis counties on secondary roads and on routes 40/61, I-70, and I-270. Development would continue to occur throughout Saint Charles County; on the proposed alignments induced development would take place at interchanges and along outer roads. Under the preferred land replacement alternative, the project would increase available habitat for fish and wildlife. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The public parkland would be considerably and adversely altered by the proposed highway construction. The rights-of-way requirements under the preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 190.3 acres of prime farmland; the relocation of 54 residences and 17 commercial establishments; the traversal of 397.9 acres of the Missouri River floodplain, and the associated loss of 52.9 acres of emergent and wooded wetlands; and the removal of public parkland. Adverse land-use impacts would total 1,926.1 acres.

Preparation date: February 16, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SWEET GRASS HILLS RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT, LIBERTY AND TOOLE COUNTIES, MONTANA. AN - 36395778; 4941 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for the Sweet Grass Hills, administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) through the Great Falls Resource Area in Liberty and Toole counties in northern Montana adjacent to the Canadian border, is proposed. The project area includes 7,717 surface acres, 19,765 acres of mineral estate, and 1,644 acres of only oil and gas estate. A 7,500-acre area of critical environmental concern (ACEC) has been designated within the study area. The Sweet Grass Hills have a history of prospecting and mining for gold, silver, iron, and fluorite. Focal issues identified in the scoping process include land tenure adjustment, off-road vehicle use, oil and gas leasing, and minerals development within the ACEC. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative C), implementation would withdraw the Sweet Grass Hills ACEC from mineral entry and focus management efforts on preserving cultural resources and protecting aquifers in the East Butte area that provide potable water to local residents. The mining restrictions would not take effect until after existing leases expire. Of the remaining acres in the study area, 14,659 acres would remain open to oil and gas leasing under standard stipulations as well as a special raptor stipulation; 13,015 acres would remain open for development of other minerals. The BLM would acquire patented mining claims in the ACEC in the vicinity of Devils Chimney Cave; BLM would provide 137 acres in Middle Butte for disposal through sale or exchange. In addition, the ACEC would be closed to off-road vehicle use year-round. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, implementation would preserve the primitive and natural character of the ACEC. The mining restrictions would eliminate potential negative impacts on surface and underground water resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The mineral restrictions would adversely affect the local industry; for example, oil and gas revenues would be 2 to 4 percent less under the preferred alternative than under current management. Authorized oil and gas development in the area would disturb 54 acres while hardrock mining would disturb up to 100 acres. A mining operation in the Tootsie Creek basin would result in the permanent loss of a site associated with Native American spiritual practices.

Preparation date: February 9, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TIMUCUAN ECOLOGICAL AND HISTORIC PRESERVE, DUVAL COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 36404897; 4938 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a 15-year management plan for the Timucuan Ecological and Historical Preserve, a salt marsh and estuarine ecosystem located in the valley between the lower St. Johns and Nassau rivers in Duval County in northeastern Florida, is proposed. The region has been occupied for over 6,000 years and contains numerous historic and prehistoric sites, including mission sites established by early Spanish settlers. The preserve was established in 1988, and as of 1995, only about 30 percent of the land was owned by the National Park Service (NPS). As a result, the management plan must present strategies for dealing with diverse ownership. Four alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. Under all of them, a common objective of environmental awareness would be promoted while providing for visitor understanding and appreciation of preserve resources and stories. Under each of the alternatives, interpretation would be provided for ten historic sites in the area: San Gabriel, San Estaban, Dos Hermanas, Fort St. George, St. Johns Town, San Juan del Puerto mission site, Thomas Creek battlefield, Zephaniah Kingsley plantation, Spanish-American war battery, and Yellow Bluff Fort. Under the proposed action (Alternative 3), the NPS would take the lead in promoting comprehensive arrangements and agreements involving all of the agencies charged with managing land uses and private development in and around the preserve. Cooperation and regulation would be used to complement and supplement NPS land acquisition. NPS and other agencies would acquire exceptional areas possessing outstanding resource or public use values that are threatened. Concession-operated tour boat locations would be determined through cooperative efforts. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the cultural resource values of the area would be preserved and visitor experiences enhanced under the proposed plan. Cooperative management would help to eliminate the problem of habitat fragmentation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some marginal loss of habitat and degradation of water quality would occur as a result of planned development on preserve uplands. Public land acquisition would have a negative effect on the local tax base. LEGAL MANDATES: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Public Law 102-249.

AN - 36384067; 4978 AB - PURPOSE: The construction by the Sanpete Water Conservancy District of a multiple-purpose water development project to provide water for irrigation and municipal use in Sanpete County, located in central Utah, is proposed. Water from the project would come from a transmountain diversion from upper Gooseberry Creek and its tributaries, which are located in the Price River drainage. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, the project would provide an average annual supply of 4,920 acre-feet (af) of supplemental irrigation water for 15,420 acres of presently irrigated farmland and 480 af of water for municipal use north Sanpete County. The service area encompasses 49,000 acres. The project would include the construction of the Narrows Dam and Reservoir on Gooseberry Creek, pipelines to deliver the water to existing water distribution systems, rehabilitation of the existing Narrows Tunnel, and relocation of 2.9 miles of State Road 264. Recreation facilities would be developed and a minimum pool for fish habitat would be provided. Mitigation measures would be implemented to offset adverse impacts to wetlands, terrestrial wildlife, and stream fisheries. In addition to mitigation measures to offset project impacts, nine other specific measures would be included to enhance or improve fish and wildlife habitat. The Narrows Reservoir capacity would be 17,000 af. Under the other action alternative, the project would provide for a reservoir capacity of 7,900 af. The cost under the proposed action would be $17.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Social and economic conditions in the area are underscored by a century-long dependence on agriculture, which is severely limited by inadequate water supplies. Precipitation averages just above four inches during the summer months, making irrigation necessary to crop production. Fluctuating direct flows in local streams or limited storage supplies result in irrigation water shortages of 30 percent. The project would reduce shortages to about 19 percent. There is also a shortage of recreation facilities near the project area. The Narrows project would provide a campground, a boat ramp, picnic sites, and restrooms. It would be expected to draw heavy use from residents of Provo/Orem and the Salt Lake City metropolitan area as well as local residents. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would adversely affect three cultural resource sites, 26.3 miles of stream fisheries, and 100 acres of wetlands. Approximately 487 acres of upland wildlife habitat would be lost. LEGAL MANDATES: Small Reclamation Projects Act (P.L. 84-984), Executive Order 11988, and Executive Order 11990.

Preparation date: January 27, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GREATER WAMSUTTER AREA II NATURAL GAS DEVELOPMENT, CARBON AND SWEETWATER COUNTIES, WYOMING. AN - 36400000; 4932 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a natural gas project in the Greater Wamsutter Area II (GWA II), located approximately 45 miles southwest of Rawlins in southwestern Carbon and Sweetwater counties, in southern Wyoming, is proposed. The GWA II analysis area encompasses 334,101 acres of mixed federal, state, and private lands. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative C), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the project would include the drilling, completion, testing, operation, abandonment, and reclamation of a natural gas production operation by the Union Pacific Resources Company, Amoco Production Company, and other operators. The project would use standard procedures as currently employed by other State and regional gas field developments. A maximum of 750 wells at 300 locations and associated ancillary facilities, road, and pipelines would result in the initial disturbance of approximately 2,416 acres on the project area. Under the other alternatives, the project would allow for the development of 300 wells and 250 well locations, or 225 wells and 200 well locations, in addition to existing operations. Under the No Action Alternative, any further gas/oil development beyond that currently authorized would be disallowed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would allow the lease holders to drill for, extract, remove, and market natural gas products and associated fluids in the lands described within the area. It could increase revenues generated by taxes, royalties, and the use of local goods and services. The unanticipated discovery of previously unknown fossils could occur as a result of construction activity. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would adversely affect visual resources. Construction and excavation activities could directly result in the damage or destruction of scientifically significant fossil resources. Construction activities could include the removal of vegetation, exposure of sensitive soils, loss of topsoil productivity, and increased susceptibility to wind and erosion. Development of certain drill sites could increase water sedimentation, salt loading and water quality impairment to surface waters; changes in stream discharge; changes in groundwater levels, quantity, and quality; and channel morphology changes. Should construction and drilling activities result in increased sedimentation, accidental discharge of toxic pollutants could occur; water flow depletions and fishery resources would be adversely impacted. Under the action alternatives, the project would remove from 1,613 to 2,416 acres from production of forage for livestock and wildlife. Well drilling, testing, and production operations could cause substantial alterations to the recreation setting and recreation opportunities available. The GWA II cultural resource database includes 1,395 sites, consisting of both prehistoric and historic components.

Major land uses in the project area are agriculture (mainly cattle and sheep grazing), wildlife habitat, oil and gas exploration and development, and recreation. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the project would include the erection of approximately 1,390 wind turbine generators and associated facilities (including roads, substations, distribution, and communications lines) by KENETECH Windpower, Inc. A 230-kilovolt transmission line would be built by PacifiCorp, Inc. in order to connect a substation on Foote Creek Rim near Arlington to the Miner's substation near Hanna. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) would issue a 30-year renewable right-of-way (ROW) grant to KENETECH for construction of the power plant and to PacifiCorp for construction of the power lines. KENETECH would use Model 33M-VS wind turbine generators supported by 80- to 120-foot modified tubular towers spaced approximately 162 to 216 feet apart within rows and approximately 1,080 to 1,620 feet between rows. Additional turbines and facilities would be erected in 50- to 100-MW phases over the next 10 to 12 years as utilities in western states seek additional capacity to meet increasing demands. The transmission lines would be placed along one of three alternative alignments. Under the other action alternative, the project would be the same as under the proposed action but 40 percent smaller. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project could have numerous beneficial impacts including increased revenues generated by taxes, increased employment, and benefits derived using a nonpolluting resource for electric power generation. The project would provide wind-generated electricity to meet existing energy needs; test the ability of wind energy to provide a reliable, economical, and environmentally acceptable energy resource in the region; and develop a further market for Wyoming-sourced wind-generated energy. Utilities providing electrical power to the Rocky Mountain and southwestern states have forecast that greater than 9,000 MW of new generating capacity would be needed during the next 20 years in order to meet base load and peak load demands. Impacts would be negligible to beneficial for air quality (by replacing some electrical generation that would otherwise come from the burning of fossil fuels), for socioeconomics values (through increased tax revenues), and for land use (through potential increased tourism). NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Potentially significant impacts resulting from the project would include avian mortality; declining avian populations; threatened, endangered, candidate, and/or state sensitive species mortality and /or habitat loss; the disturbance of nearby residents due to noise; changes in visual resources; the disturbance of important Native American traditional sites; changes in plant community species composition due to snow redistribution; the disruption of big game winter range and migrations due to windfarm operation; and the loss of sage grouse nesting habitat. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.), and Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).

Preparation date: January 18, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FOOTHILLS PARKWAY, GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK, SEVIER COUNTY, TENNESSEE. AN - 36396154; 4961 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of section 8D of the Foothills Parkway, located in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Sevier County, Tennessee, is proposed. Section 8D of the 72-mile, two-lane scenic parkway would extend from Wear Valley Road (US 321) to the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge Spur (US 321/441). Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative B), construction of section 8D would take place and include an alternative bridge, a tunnel, and road section structures. An engineering study for structural stability would be conducted at the old dump site near King Branch Road. A detailed engineering study would be completed during final design to determine site-specific details of cut-and-fill depths and drainage requirements. Downstream aquatic habitats would be monitored for sedimentation and turbidity. Core drilling would be performed to determine general areas of pyritic soils. Bridging of large ravines would protect habitat for the Swainson's warbler and rare bryophyte species. The small number of workers who would move into the area because of construction would have little or no effect on housing, public services, or the social structure of the area; new buildings and residences for NPS personnel would be designed to blend in with existing development. Under the No Action Alternative, sections 8E and 8F would be completed and open to the public. The National Park Service (NPS) would seek funding to control erosion from the existing pioneer road. Future contamination of groundwater and surface water would depend on the amount of development outside the NPS right-of-way. Terrestrial communities that now inhabit open and disturbed areas along the right-of-way eventually would be replaced as the forest revegetated and the canopy reestablished itself. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would fulfill the intent of the 1944 legislation that authorized construction of the Foothills Parkway. As mitigation for the filling in of a livestock pond on the right-of-way and a seep in the vicinity of the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge Spur, existing degraded wetlands in the National Park would be restored. Analysis of noise levels at key sites indicates that projected noise levels would not exceed ambient levels. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction and operation of the parkway would include the destruction of about 100 plants of pink lady's slipper, a state-listed endangered species, and three of lesser ladies' tresses, a species of special concern in Tennessee. Wear Valley could be eligible for listing as a rural historic district; if it were so determined, the parkway could adversely affect this resource. Adverse visual resource effects of construction would be greatest in the Wear Valley and Caney Creek segments. Under the No Action Alternative, there would be a small increase in traffic entering and exiting the Parkway at the intersection of Wear Valley Road and section 8E. Additionally, the present rate of growth would continue in the adjacent communities, and there would be no adverse effects on cultural resources.

Preparation date: January 17, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MISSISSIPPI NATIONAL RIVER AND RECREATION AREA; ANOKA, DAKOTA, HENNEPIN, RAMSEY, AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, MINNESOTA. AN - 36394352; 4939 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, located in metropolitan Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, is proposed. The recreation area, which was established by Congress in 1988, includes 72 miles of the Mississippi River and four miles of the Minnesota River. It encompasses about 54,000 acres of public and private land and water in five Minnesota counties, stretching from Dayton to just south of Hastings. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, implementation would attempt to balance resource protection with opportunities for visitor uses and development activities. The most significant visual resources, including historic structures and landscapes, would be protected and restored where practical. The river corridor would have continuous public or private open space along the shoreline area to the maximum extent practical and would be connected to the downtown areas and neighborhoods by open space and trails. The continuous open space would contain public parks, trail corridors, and private lands restored to or retained as green space. It would be as wide as some of the existing major regional parks along the river, and could be as narrow as the 40-foot shoreline preservation setback area. Except in existing commercial and industrial developments, downtown areas, and historic districts, the riverfront and bluff area would appear mostly natural from the river and its opposite shoreline areas. In downtown areas and historic districts, development would be more visible but still complement the aesthetics of the river corridor. For areas where the natural appearance has been altered, design guidelines and programs would be established to encourage restoration. Additional public and private open space would be provided through a continued local land and easement acquisition program. Commercial navigation activities would be continued and monitored in order to ensure that impacts on aquatic life would be minimized. Local governments would have the authority to designate areas for barge fleeting that are consistent with the overall objectives of the proposed plan. A wide range of recreational opportunities, as well as interpretive and educational programs, would be provided. Two major interpretive facilities, a primary information and orientation center at Harriet Island opposite downtown St. Paul and a cooperative information and orientation center near downtown Minneapolis, would be constructed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, implementation would protect sensitive resources in the river corridor, preserve its natural appearance, improve recreational opportunities, and increase the number of open-space areas. Shoreline bank erosion would be reduced as a result of decreased disturbance in the shoreline protection area and increased revegetation of river banks. Implementation would also help to protect floodplains and wetlands in the river corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased recreational use by residents and tourists would cause some disturbance to wildlife.

Preparation date: January 13, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTHEAST REGIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AND GEYSERS EFFLUENT PIPELINE PROJECT, LAKE AND SONOMA COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36383937; 4968 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the Southeast Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant located north of the city of Clearlake, California, is proposed. The improvements are mandated by a cease and desist order issued by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board prohibiting any hook-ups that would exceed plant treatment capacity. Furthermore, local regulations prohibit the plant from discharging treated effluent into a nearby creek and into Clear Lake. At present, effluent is directed into a 561 acre-foot reservoir adjacent to the plant; from there it is sprinkle-irrigated on 244 acres of range land during dry periods. This irrigation system is incapable of disposing of all the effluent if capacity is increased. Under the proposed action, the project would include a 26-mile, 24-inch pipeline from the plant to The Geysers, where the effluent would be injected into the steam field to produce steam needed for power generation. Since 1987, steam production at this facility has declined because of the loss of steam pressure in the reservoir rock. The wastewater effluent would be a new source of water to compensate for this decline; the pipeline would be capable of delivering 5,400 gallons per minute to the geothermal facility. The pipeline would run south through the city of Clearlake and community of Lower Lake, south to Middletown, to the Southeast Geysers steamfield. Pipeline-related facilities would include six turbine pumps at the wastewater treatment plant that would pump the effluent to a 620,000-gallon steel tank located on a site below Childers Peak; additional pumps and pipeline at the Middletown treatment plant; up to five pump stations at Bear Canyon to lift the effluent from 1,470 feet above sea level to The Geysers, which is 3,330 feet above sea level; and a 100,000-gallon storage tank at The Geysers. Additional pipelines would be constructed at The Geysers to carry the effluent as injection fluid to 15 existing and seven future well heads, where injection into the steam field would occur. Intake facilities, pumps, and a pipeline would be constructed at Clear Lake so that lake water could be merged with the effluent. This final EIS, which is issued in abbreviated format, contains public comments on the proposed action and agency responses; the draft EIS is issued as a companion document. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would increase the treatment capacity of the wastewater plant serving the city of Clearlake and unincorporated adjacent areas, and bring the facility into compliance with state and local regulations. The diversion of effluent to The Geysers would allow the facility to increase its production of geothermal energy by 184 million kWh. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would result in increased erosion and increased silt deposition in stream channels. Construction of the lake diversion intake would substantially increase turbidity. Pipeline construction would result in habitat losses for the California red-legged frog, bald eagles, and other species. Workers could be exposed to asbestos fibers, mercury, and other heavy metals while excavating serpentine rock. Some potential for groundwater contamination would exist as a result of leakage from the reservoir, storage tanks, or pipeline.

Preparation date: January 13, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BEAVER BASIN RIM ROAD IN PICTURED ROCKS NATIONAL LAKESHORE, ALGER COUNTY, MICHIGAN. AN - 36400154; 4954 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a scenic shoreline road within the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Alger County in northern Michigan is proposed. The 13-mile road would extend from Legion Lake to the Twelvemile Beach campground, connecting on both ends with Alger County Road H-58. Much of the road would be constructed along the Beaver Basin Rim, a bluff formed within the center of Nipissing Lake. Most of the road would be located 400 feet or more south of the rim. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative B), existing old road traces, which would constitute roughly five percent of the entire road, would be used wherever possible. Two spur roads would be constructed off the main road to two access overlooks, which would provide views of Beaver Basin, Beaver Lake, Grand Portal Point, Lake Superior, and the Sevenmile Creek area. The road would consist of two 11-foot-wide travel lanes with an aggregate base and paved with asphalt. The three-foot-wide road shoulders would be stabilized turf and kept clear of any obstacles. The slope from the shoulder to the ditch and the ditch itself would be kept mowed. Approximately one half of the road would have such ditches. The road would have a posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour. Depending on snow conditions, the road would generally be closed to vehicular traffic from December 1 to May 1. Under the other action alternative, the new road would be located in the park's inland buffer zone rather than in the shoreline zone. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the road would provide additional opportunities for visitors to enjoy the park, improve links to recreation facilities along the length of the park, and reduce driving distances between major day-use areas. It would allow visitors to see portions of the park that can now only be seen on foot. There would be a significant increase in visitor expenditures in Munising and Grand Marais. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the facility would cause minor adverse increases in air pollution and noise, minor adverse impacts on park soils and vegetation, and some loss of the primitive character of the area as a result of increased visitation.

Preparation date: January 11, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - THEATER MISSILE DEFENSE EXTENDED TEST RANGE. AN - 36399776; 4919 AB - PURPOSE: The conducting of up to 100 extended range tests of target missiles, defensive missiles, and sensor systems at one or more test range areas during the period from 1995 to 2000 is proposed. The tests would provide realistic test situations for defenses to operate within a simulated theater of operations that would include target missiles. The tests would involve conducting target and other missile system flights over distances not to exceed 750 miles. The missile flight tests could fully validate system design and operation effectiveness of ground-based theater missile defense (TMD) and sensor systems. The military presently has a limited TMD capability. Existing air defenses provide a very limited capability for point defense and no capability for area defense of military and geopolitical targets against theater missiles. Potential off-range launch locations could include land areas and sea-based platforms. Missile-to-missile intercepts would occur over existing test range areas or over open sea areas. Four candidate test areas are the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico and Fort Bliss in Texas, with off-range missile launches from sites in New Mexico and Utah; Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) on Santa Rosa Island and at Cape San Blas in Florida, with off-range launches from a sea-based platform in the Gulf of Mexico; Vandenberg AFB, San Nicolas Island, and San Clemente Island in California, with off-range launches from a sea-based platform in the Pacific Ocean; and Kwajalein Missile Range in the Marshall Islands and Wake Island, also with off-range launches from the Pacific. Some combination of test range areas would likely be implemented since no single area would satisfy all test objectives. A draft supplement to the draft EIS of July 1994 considered new potential booster drop zones at the White Sands site; the new drop zones would result in a change in the projected flight trajectory that would reduce the size of launch hazard area. The new drop zones would be located along the missile flight paths from the Green River Launch Complex and Fort Wingate Depot Activity to White Sands. The preferred test site and drop zones will be announced in the Record of Decision. This final EIS, which is issued in abbreviated format, contains additions and revisions to previous documents as well as public comments and agency responses. The draft EIS and the draft supplement have been issued as companion documents. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide target flights over distances that would not be attainable on most existing ranges. It would also effectively simulate a hostile missile attack against a theater of operations; hostile missiles would include Scud-type ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and air-to-surface guided missiles launched against a specific target. The changes in designated drop zones would exclude I-70 and the Green River from exposure to launch-related risks. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Any test flights conducted off the Florida or California coasts would temporarily reroute aircraft in the immediate vicinity. Booster drops would disturb wildlife habitat and vegetation in the immediate area. The testing would temporarily restrict recreational access to the islands in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse State Park in Utah, and closure and evacuation of the Chain of Craters area of El Malpais National Monument in New Mexico. The influx of support personnel on Kwajalein Island would have significant adverse infrastructure and socioeconomic impacts. LEGAL MANDATES: Missile Act of 1991.

It is based on the National Register of Historic Places registration file "John Marshall House" and information from the John Marshall Foundation of Richmond, Virginia, and the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities. Materials for students include: (1) readings drawn from biographies and papers of John Marshall; (2) maps of Richmond and the Chesapeake Bay region; and (3) photographs of the exterior and interiors of the John Marshall House. The lesson can be used with units on the Marshall Court during the Early National Period and provides a personal touch with elements of social history to enrich the usual legalistic treatments of John Marshall in standard U.S. history courses. The readings focus on: (1) "John Marshall at Home"; (2) "A Black Robe - Symbol of Civic Virtue and Constitutional Principles"; (3) "A Locket and a Strand of Hair - Symbols of Love and Family"; and (4) "John Marshall on 'My Dearest Polly'."

However, modifications to infrastructure and operations are limited for existing canals; more choices are available when designing a new canal. Chapter 5 discusses the design of new automated canals. Included in this chapter is the design of canal and control system components. The process of designing a new automated canal system must coordinate design of the civil works, mechanical equipment, electrical equipment, and control logic. Therefore, chapter 5 includes additional steps in the design process which were not discussed in chapter 4. JF - Canal Systems Automation Manual. Volume 2. [np]. 1995.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Assessment of nutrients, suspended sediment and pesticides in surface water of the Upper Snake River Basin, Idaho and western Wyoming, water years 1991-95 AN - 16263431; 4241319 AB - A water-quality investigation of the upper Snake River Basin began in 1991 as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Quality Assessment Program. Sampling and analysis focused on nutrients, suspended sediments and pesticides. Concentrations of nutrients and suspended sediment in the upper Snake River Basin, in general, increased towards the outlet of the basin. Median concentrations of dissolved nitrite plus nitrate at 19 sites ranged from less than 0.05 to 1.60 milligrams per liter; total phosphorus as phosphorus, less than 0.01 to 0.11 milligrams per liter; and suspended sediment, 4 to 72 milligrams per liter. Significant differences (p<0.05) in nutrient and suspended sediment concentrations were noted among groups of sites categorized by the quantity of agricultural land in their upstream drainage basins. Concentrations of dissolved nitrite plus nitrate were largest during the nonirrigation season, October through March. Concentrations of total phosphorus and suspended sediment, in general, were largest during high streamflow, April through June. The pesticides EPTC (eptam), atrazine, desethylatrazine, metolachlor (dual) and alachlor (lasso) were the most commonly detected in the upper Snake River Basin and accounted for about 75 percent of all pesticide detections. All pesticides detected were at concentrations less than 1 microgram per liter and below maximum contaminant levels established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The largest number and concentrations of pesticides were detected in May and June following early growing season applications.

These sites are located in sagebrush (Black Rock Valley and Firewater Canyon sites) and grassland (Bird Canyon site). Bowen-ratio data were collected with a cooled-mirror hygrometer system (Bowen-ratio instruments) for various periods from March 1992 to October 1995. Additional Bowen-ratio data were collected using sensors at fixed heights (fixed-sensor instruments) for various periods from April 1993 to October 1995. Penman-Monteith data were collected from May 1992 to March 1993. Generally, latent-heat flux and evapotranspiration estimated with Penman- Monteith and fixed-sensor instruments agreed closely with latent-heat flux and evapotranspiration estimated with Bowen-ratio instruments. However, these comparisons were sometimes poor during periods of high wind at night and during very dry periods in summer and fall. Evapotranspiration estimates at the three sites showed similar seasonal trends, but daily and cumulative evapotranspiration estimates differed considerably, even though the sites were located within 3.5 kilometers of each other. Daily evapotranspiration ranged from less than 1 millimeter during dry periods in late summer, fall and winter, to over 4 millimeters during periods of peak plant growth in spring. From October 1994 to September 1995, cumulative precipitation at all three sites differed by only 4 percent, but the Black Rock Valley and Bird Canyon sites showed about 30 percent more cumulative evapotranspiration than the Firewater Canyon site. For October 1994 to September 1995, cumulative evapotranspiration at the Black Rock Valley, Bird Canyon and Firewater Canyon sites was, respectively, 139 percent, 136 percent and 97.2 percent of cumulative precipitation. For annual periods from 1992 to 1995 at the Black Rock Valley site, cumulative evapotranspiration ranged from 133 to 175 percent of cumulative precipitation. The results of this study suggest that annual precipi- tation and evapotranspiration are nearly equal for the Firewater Canyon site (as they are for sites on the Arid Lands Ecology Reserve, about 40 kilometers away, but that surface runoff or ground water from upslope areas may provide additional water for evapotranspiration at the Black Rock Valley and Bird Canyon sites. Because the hydrogeology of the Big Flat in the Black Rock Valley is not well known, additional studies in this area would be needed to confirm that hypothesis.

The project was divided into three phases: a reconnaissance to inventory and map seeps, springs, and stream-measurement sites; a high base flow seepage investigation; and a low base flow seepage investigation. The reconnaissance consisted of following each tributary to its source to inventory each site where water was issuing from the ground. Stream-measurement sites were also located along stream reaches at 500-foot intervals. A total of 822 sites were identified. A global positioning system was used to locate 483 sites to within 3- to 5-meter accuracy. The high base flow seepage investigation was conducted from April 29 through May 3, 1993, and from May 7 through May 10, 1993. During the high base flow seepage investigation, sites identified during the reconnaissance were revisited. At almost all sites with flowing water, discharge, pH, specific conductance, and temperature were recorded. Two hundred and fourteen sites were dry. The low base flow seepage investigation was conducted from August 8 through August 10, 1993, and consisted of revisiting the seeps and springs that were flowing during the high base flow seepage investigation. Stream-measurement sites were not revisited. One hundred and forty-one sites were dry. JF - USGS Branch of Information Services. 51pp. 1995.

Results of upstream-downstream water quality monitoring prior to BMP implementation indicate that average downstream event-mean concentrations of total BOD, ammonia nitrogen, and phosphorus were markedly greater than average upstream event-mean concentrations. Pollutant reductions expected from BMPs at each site are greater than the changes needed to observe a statistically significant improvement in water quality.

AN - 36410808; 4873 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for the Grass Creek Resource Area in north central Wyoming is proposed. The area, which contains 968,000 acres of public land and 1.17 million acres of federal mineral estate, contains many rock formations important to Native Americans and paleontologists. Three key resource management issues have been identified: methods of managing vegetation to protect water quality, soil productivity, and wildlife habitat while allowing for some livestock grazing and off-road vehicle (ORV) uses; the designation of special management areas; and types and levels of public lands use allowed. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative D), implementation would emphasize the protection of forest resources, cultural and recreation resources, vegetation, access, and wild horses. Cultural and paleontological resources would be inventoried and protected in order to prevent unintentional damage from authorized activities. Forage would be increased throughout the resource area to support an additional 8,910 animal unit months (AUMs), excluding 2,300 AUMs set aside for wild horses in the Fifteenmile Wild Horse Herd Area. The herd area would be expanded by 16,000 acres through the acquisition of private lands, and opportunities for public viewing of the horses would be provided. Approximately 33,700 acres of public lands that are difficult to manage would be offered for sale. In all, authorized livestock grazing throughout the resource area would decrease by 35 percent. No-surface-occupancy constraints on new oil and gas leasing would apply to 2,130 acres with mineral estate with a high potential for oil and gas occurrence, 15,790 acres with moderate potential, and 2,280 acres with low potential. The land available for commercial timber harvesting would decline by approximately ten percent. The use of prescribed fire on 9,000 acres would improve habitat for elk, moose, and mule deer. ORV use would be allowed on 6,800 acres of public land. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, large tracts of scenic areas would be preserved and protected, and habitat would be protected and/or provided for a variety of wildlife. Visitor use and appreciation of the area would increase. Significant visual, cultural, recreational, and geological resources would be protected or enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, off-road vehicle use, improved public access to the foothills of the Absaroka Mountains, wildfire suppression, and land sales could adversely affect cultural resources. Additionally, an increase in vandalism could result from increased visitor use. The decline in authorized grazing and new oil and gas leasing would have moderate adverse economic impacts on those industries. Two significant cultural resources would be destroyed as a result of surface disturbance on mining claims. Native American rock art would be disturbed by bentonite exploration in the Frontier Formation. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

AN - 36410365; 4856 AB - PURPOSE: The recognition, development, and management of a National Historic Trail commemorating the 1775-1776 colonizing expedition of Juan Bautista de Anza in southwestern Arizona and southern and coastal California is proposed. The 1,291-mile historic route enters the U.S. on the Arizona border in the city of Nogales, and continues along a generally west by northwest course to the San Francisco Bay area in California. Because action was legislated, a No Action Alternative is not under consideration. Four action alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. Under a single-theme alternative (Alternative A), trail commemoration would be limited to sites and segments within federal lands and state parks. Interpretation would be limited to the 1775-1776 trek. Trail uses would be limited to horseback riding and walking. Trail management would be by volunteers and the National Park Service (NPS) would play a minor role. Facility development would be discouraged. Under a multitheme alternative (Alternative B), the route would be marked as a continuous auto route and multi-use recreational trail, including biking. Interpretation would include two Anza expeditions, the American Indian tribes who allowed them passage, and the environment the encountered. The NPS would actively manage the trail. Facilities supporting auto touring and other activities would be encouraged. Under a broad-outreach alternative (Alternative C), the project would include the features of that under Alternative B and also the theme of layering history from prehistory to the present day, the promotion of public awareness of the trail, and the development of visitor contact facilities. Under the proposed action (Alternative D), the project would combine the promotional aspects of that under Alternative C with the historical focus of that under Alternative B. Predominant land uses along the route in Arizona would include livestock grazing, transportation facilities, irrigated agriculture, and the range of residential, commercial, and industrial uses associated with urban concentrations. Land use in California would be similar, with the addition of several military installations and a small portion of national forest land. The estimated federal share of costs ranges from $65,000 to $250,000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the project, cultural resources would be identified and protected, and interpretive sites would educate the public about their significance. Under most of the alternatives, the visual character of landscapes would be benefited. Trespassing would possibly be diminished as a result of public education programs knowledge and by having a defined trail. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project could result in the temporary displacement or disturbance of threatened or endangered species at developed sites along the trail route. Increased land use controls could be enacted by local governments in order to protect significant resources along the trail corridor.

AN - 15223851; 4849 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management program for the rangeland administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Forest Service (FS) is proposed. These two agencies are responsible for managing 270 million acres of federal rangeland in the western states. The proposal would effect lands in 17 western states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma (except national forests), Oregon, South Dakota, Texas (except national forests), Utah, Washington, and Wyoming). Five management alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (the Current Management Alternative), are considered in this final EIS. Seven grazing fee formula alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (the Current Public Rangeland Improvement Act Alternative), are also under consideration. Under the BLM-FS proposed action (Management Alternative 2, the preferred alternative), implementation would include national requirements and guiding principles that provide the basis for developing state and regional standards and guidelines for managing livestock grazing in rangeland ecosystems administered by the BLM. It would include FS measures for planning rangeland activities and for regulating grazing within an ecosystem management framework. More consistent BLM and FS management programs would be established in order to improve ecological conditions while maintaining opportunities for long-term sustainable development. The fee formula would obtain for the public a fair return for grazing livestock on public land. The FS would not allow leasing on its lands while BLM would continue to allow base property leases and the transfer of associated grazing preferences and permits. BLM permittees would also be allowed to enter into agreements to pasture another person's livestock (management lease) if the permittee showed proof of control through a formal agreement transferring control of the livestock. The BLM would assess a surcharge for all livestock authorized under a pasture agreement. In most cases, no agreement would be needed for a permittee to pasture livestock owned by his or her own children, nor would a surcharge be applied. The FS would not apply a surcharge because it does not authorize leasing or pasturing agreements. FS permittees would have to own both livestock and base property to qualify for a term grazing permit except as authorized in the eastern states. Children of FS permittees could run up to 50 percent of their parent's permitted numbers under specified conditions. The FS's policy would change to that of the BLM under which foreign interests or corporations licensed to conduct business in the state in which grazing use is sought would be allowed to hold grazing permits. Grazing permits would generally be issued for ten-year periods; permits could be canceled or suspended if the holder violated any laws or regulations on pest or animal damage control, conservation, or environmental quality on public lands. Conservation use by the BLM could be authorized for extended periods (up to the ten-year term of the permit) when needed in order to meet management objectives consistent with resource condition objectives of existing land use plans and in compliance with standards and guidelines. Any new rights to water on public land for livestock watering on such land would be acquired, maintained, and administered under applicable state laws. Some 50 percent of BLM range betterment funds would be returned to the district of origin, and the remaining 50 percent would be distributed to BLM state offices, which would then direct such funding on a priority basis for rangeland ecosystem rehabilitation and protection; this practice would be consistent with current FS practices. BLM grazing advisory boards would be replaced by multiple resource advisory councils, a diverse group with views reflecting a wide array of perspectives within a community. Both agencies would use the same grazing fee formula, one that uses a base value ($3.96 per animal-unit month) updated annually by a forage value index; the maximum annual fee variation would be 25 percent of the amount charged the previous year. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, implementation would make the FS's and the BLM's rangeland management programs more consistent with each other, and more compatible with ecosystem management, accelerate the restoration and improvement of public rangelands to proper functioning conditions, obtain for the public a fair return for grazing livestock on public lands, streamline administrative functions, and consider the needs of local communities for open space and their dependence on livestock grazing. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some economic hardship would be experienced by ranchers, as the level of forage authorized for livestock would decline by 3 percent after 20 years. Proper functioning BLM riparian areas would decrease by 3 percent. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.), and Rangeland Improvement Act of 1978 (P.L. 95-514).

Preparation date: December 21, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FISH PASSAGE IMPROVEMENT, SAVAGE RAPIDS DAM, JOSEPHINE COUNTY, OREGON. AN - 36404503; 4909 AB - PURPOSE: The selection of a management strategy to address fish passage problems at the Grants Pass Irrigation District's (GPID) Savage River Dam, and also to resolve conflicts over water uses, in Josephine County, Oregon, is proposed. The Savage Rapids Dam is located on the Rogue River where the river crosses the Josephine /Jackson County line in southwestern Oregon. It is GPID's primary diversion facility. The Rogue River salmon and steelhead trout fisheries in southwest Oregon are nationally renowned for diversity and productivity, but are currently severely depressed from historic harvest levels. Coho salmon and steelhead trout are candidates for designation as endangered species and are under study by the National Marine Fisheries Service. Fish passage problems at the Savage River Dam have historically been addressed by twin fish ladders and fish screens for the gravity diversion. Screens for the pumping diversion were unsuccessful, and this diversion has been essentially unscreened since 1958. Any change in facilities must consider both fish passage and irrigation diversions. The existing diversion facilities, including the hydraulically-driven pumps, are old and nearing the end of their useful lives. These facilities are not capable of operating at the reduced rates expected to be required in the near future and need to be updated. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative, the Savage River Dam would be removed and electric pumping facilities would be constructed; construction would take about five years. Dual pumping plants would be built, with diversion capacity of 125 cubic feet per second. Noise abatement walls would reduce noise levels at the site and obscure the pumping plants from view. Electric power would be supplied by an existing 12-volt distribution line; annual consumption would be about 5.75 million kilowatt-hours. Concrete box culverts would carry water from the river to pumping plant sumps, with river openings covered by vertical fish screens. New discharge pipelines from the pumping plants to existing canals would be buried. Project costs are estimated at $13.3 million. Removing the dam would eliminate an existing seasonal reservoir; lost recreation opportunities associated with flatwater would be offset by increased opportunities associated with a stable riverine environment. Under the other action alternative, the dam would be retained, fish passage facilities would be built, and irrigation diversion facilities would be improved or replaced for the long term; project costs for this alternative are estimated at $21.3 million. The No Action Alternative is presented as a baseline for evaluating the effects under the action alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, all fish passage problems at Savage River Dam would be eliminated, and fish escapement (number of adults returning to spawn) would increase by about 22 percent. This would amount to 26,700 spawners, which would result in a harvest increase estimated at 87,900 fish at sport and commercial fisheries with an annual monetary value of approximately $5 million. New electric pumping facilities would extend the life of GPID diversion facilities. Remaining debt owed to the federal government for past construction on Savage River Dam would be forgiven. Some 120 to 190 short-term jobs would be created. Due in part to the fact that the project area is located in an urban/suburban setting with highways along each side and a railroad also along one side, short-term environmental effects under either action alternative would be insignificant. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Short-term increases in noise levels and traffic hazards, and negative effects on air and water quality, would be experienced during construction.

AN - 36399213; 4871 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for the Obed Wild and Scenic River (Obed WSR) in Morgan and Cumberland counties, Tennessee, is proposed. The Obed WSR contains an outstanding example of a deep sandstone gorge with high steam gradients which together direct white water down boulder-strewn courses intermingled with quiet, smooth-flowing stretches. The water is clear and considered to be among the highest quality in the state. Possessing great ecological diversity, the area contains ten of 12 ecosystems unique to the Cumberland Plateau, two critical habitats and 16 state- and federally-listed endangered, threatened, and rare species. About 90 percent of the corridor is forested and contains stands of mature hardwood and evergreen forests. Recreational use dominates the river corridor; boating, fishing, hunting, swimming, and camping are common activities of local residents and visitors from most of the eastern U.S. The plan would provide for the protection of Obed WSR values and address resource management and visitor use. The plan has been prepared in cooperation with National Park Service, a state agency, and the public and will guide management of the Obed WSR for approximately the next 10 to 15 years. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative B), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative A), implementation would include a management zone system representing area-specific applications of management objectives; enhanced visitor oriented programs and facilities; expanded boundaries to include approximately 200 acres of land and six river miles; and the study of other river segments for future WSR inclusion. Some changes would be made in the current use and management of easements in order to provide for protection of values and accommodate visitor access. Implementation cost would be $1.89 million. Under Alternative B, the existing course, which is based primarily on continuing implementation of the 1978 Development Plan, would be followed. The management zone system would be based on ownership patterns; landscape character would not be addressed; different locations for a scenic overlook and trails would be proposed; and more roads would be developed and maintained. Boundary expansion would include two tracts of land containing less than 65 acres. The implementation cost would be $2.27 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, implementation would fulfill management requirements mandated by federal and state legislation. Long-term water resource impacts would be reduced; wetlands protection would be increased; and accessibility for disabled visitors would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Because implementation under the two alternatives would be substantially similar, the environmental consequences under each would also be similar. The additional roads and different overlook development under Alternative B would adversely affect a greater amount of land and vegetation. Since county tax income could be reduced if lands were acquired in fee, there could be adverse socioeconomic effects as more boundary adjustments were proposed. Water resources could be affected adversely by short-term sedimentation as a result of facility construction activities.

Categories of data include county of residence of students, names of individual colleges, and institutional sector (State University of New York, City University of New York, independent institutions, and proprietary institutions). Data for students from outside the state are aggregated into two groups: U.S. residents outside of New York and foreign residents. These data are intended to support campus enrollment planning and management efforts. The introductory section provides five tables which summarize all the data, including the relation of first-time, full-time enrollments to New York State high school graduates. They also show, in integer and percent distribution format, enrollment by institutional sector for students from New York State and from outside of New York State. Part 1 provides summary reports, first of postsecondary enrollments by geographic origins; and, second, of percent distribution of postsecondary enrollments by geographic origin, institutional sector, and for each of the 6 years. Part 2 presents detailed reports of postsecondary enrollments by geographic origin and specific enrolling institution.

AN - 36411555; 4870 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for white-tailed deer within Gettysburg National Military Park and Eisenhower National Historic Site in Adams County, Pennsylvania, is proposed. According to an April 1994 population survey, approximately 853 deer move freely about on the 5,733 acres of the national military park and the 230-acre farm that once belonged to President Dwight Eisenhower. Of particular importance are 25 historic woodlots on the battlefield totaling 800 acres. Deer browsing has reduced the number of seedlings needed to provide new growth and recruitment into the overstory of these woodlots. Browsing has also interfered with efforts to manage the cropland in a manner consistent with 19th century practices. Some deer movement into the park could be the result of hunting pressure from outside the park. Deer hunting is currently prohibited inside Gettysburg National Military Park; there is no legislation either forbidding or permitting deer hunting in the Eisenhower National Historic Site. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 5), Park Service personnel and authorized agents would be allowed to shoot deer within the park and public hunting would be permitted outside the park. These two approaches would be employed simultaneously and repeated annually, as necessary, from October through April, until the number of deer in the park reaches the predetermined density level. Reproductive intervention could also be employed, although it would require approval by the Food and Drug Administration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, implementation would prevent the growing deer population from altering the historic character of the park and reduce deer competition for food and cover. Fewer deer/vehicle collisions would occur. Herbaceous and woody vegetation would increase in abundance and diversity because of reduced browsing by deer. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The sights and sounds of the management plan would detract from visitors' experiences at the parks. The reduction in the number of deer in the parks would eliminate the pleasure some people gain from viewing large numbers of deer. Historic structures could be damaged by stray bullets.

Preparation date: November 30, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FISHING BRIDGE CAMPSITE REPLACEMENT, YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, IDAHO, MONTANA, AND WYOMING. AN - 36407628; 4860 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of campsites removed from the Fishing Bridge campground in Yellowstone National Park is proposed. The decision to close the campground and replace the campsites was made in a 1988 final EIS. Although the site had been used as an auto campground since the 1920's, increases in visitation had begun to interfere with the surrounding natural systems and local wildlife populations. The area is a prime grizzly bear habitat because of the diversity of wildlife habitats located there and the area's location in wildlife travel corridors and proximity to natural food sources. Relocating the campground would reduce the possibility of bear-human contacts. Although alternative locations for the campsite were considered in a 1988 final EIS, resource conditions have changed considerably since it was prepared, largely as the result of the 1988 fires. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (the preferred alternative), some 175 new campsites and a maximum of five group campsites would be located adjacent to the current Norris campground. Major reconstruction of the sewer and water systems at Norris would be necessary under this alternative. One hundred additional campsites and up to three group campsites would be located in the Canyon campground area, and the current group camping loop at Grant Village would be converted to 35 individual sites. Two other action alternatives are also under consideration. Under Alternative 1, all 310 campsites would be replaced at Lodgepole; under Alternative 2, the campsites would be replaced by expanding other campgrounds and the construction of a 140-site campground at Mesa Road, south of Madison. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new campsites would be located in areas where they would have a minimal impact on park resources. The campsites would be either in presently disturbed areas or in lower quality bear habitat. Campsites would be distributed throughout the park, and camping capacity would be increased. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The addition of 175 campsites in the Norris area would significantly change the character and human use of the area. Wildlife would be temporarily displaced during construction, and habitat would be permanently lost due to facilities construction. The development of the new campsites would require an increase in ranger and maintenance staff.

AN - 36401617; 4890 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, divided highway with partial control of access in northeastern West Virginia and northwestern Virginia is proposed. The highway would connect Elkins, West Virginia, to Strasburg, Virginia, a distance of 114 miles. It would traverse mountainous terrain in portions of the West Virginia counties of Grant, Hardy, Randolph, and Tucker, as well as the Virginia counties of Frederick and Shenandoah. The highway would complete Corridor H of the Appalachian Development Highway System, improving east-west access as well as connecting several of the existing north-south highway systems. The purpose of this second draft supplement to the draft EIS of March 1981 is to analyze the impacts of preferred alignment. A previous draft supplement, issued in October 1992, had examined alternative corridors for the proposed highway. This second draft supplement compares the preferred alignment (Line A) with an upgrade local roads alternative and a No-Build Alternative. Line A would bypass Elkins to the north, would bypass Kerens to the east, and would pass through the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Roughly 100 miles of its length would be located in West Virginia; the remaining 14 miles would be in Virginia. The estimated construction costs range from $1.03 million to $1.08 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The east-west highway would enhance the economic development of central West Virginia by improving its access to eastern and midwestern markets; the highway would support approximately 17,800 permanent jobs. The project would reduce east-west travel time by up to 40 percent for automobiles and 48 percent for trucks; furthermore, the accident rate would be reduced by 36 percent, and fatalities by 50 percent. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 68 residences and commercial establishments, up to 543 acres of farmland, and 37.7 acres of wetlands. Under the preferred alignment, the facility would also adversely affect four sensitive visual resources and as many as 11 sites eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, would encroach on 54 acres of flood zone, and would require the relocation of roughly two miles of streams.

AN - 36409501; 4869 AB - PURPOSE: The amending of the management plan of Crater Lake National Park in Klamath County, Oregon, is proposed. The national park is located in southwest Oregon at the southern end of the Cascade Range. The primary attraction at the park is the lake itself, the deepest lake in the nation, known for the clarity and intense blue color of its water. Rim Village, located on the south edge of the lake, is the central area for visitor use and interpretation. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 3), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative 1), employee housing and selected administrative and support facilities would be constructed. Projects would include removing the visitor parking at Rim Village and constructing a parking structure 800 feet off the rim, with a shuttle bus system in order to provide year-round access to Rim Village; constructing a 2,000-foot roadway on which visitors could travel from the parking facility to Crater Lake Lodge; developing a 98-person employee dormitory and associated parking, pedestrian path, and related facilities at Mazama Village; removing an existing dormitory at Rim Village and replacing it with another dormitory near the park's south entrance; constructing 20 to 30 employee houses at the south entrance; partially restoring a one-acre maintenance yard near park headquarters and converting the remainder of the site to a recreational field for employees; and moving park headquarters to the south entrance and developing several support facilities there. Under the other action alternative (Alternative 2), support facilities would be developed at Mazama Village while park headquarters would be left at Munson Valley. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The removal of parking at Rim Village would reduce potential automobile-related pollution at Crater Lake and improve the quality of the visitor experience. Under the proposed action, facilities for employees would be improved and visitors' opportunity to appreciate the historic significance and natural beauty of the area would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, about 41 acres of vegetation and wildlife habitat would be removed or disturbed. The new parking structure at Rim Village would require extensive excavation in 2.5 acres of pumice flat. The historic character of Rim Village would be adversely affected.

AN - 36407665; 4872 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for the 31,500 acre East Fork Blacks Fork drainage in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah is proposed. The analysis area is located along the eastern edge of the Evanston Ranger District. It is bordered by the district boundary on the north and east, by the wilderness boundary on the south, and by the dividing crest line between the Middle Fork and West Fork Blacks Fork drainages on the west. Approximately 13,000 acres of oil and gas leases have been applied for in the East Fork and Middle Fork of the Blacks Fork River drainage. Vegetation manipulations proposed for the area include habitat improvement projects for elk and deer transition ranges, timber harvesting, insect and disease control projects, and scenic corridor management along the East Fork Blacks Fork Road. Internal and public concerns have indicated the need for decisions on the transportation system and management of the East Fork Blacks Fork Sheep Driveway. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the final EIS. This draft supplement to the final EIS of July 1992, prepared in response to appeals to the Regional Forester, considers a new preferred alternative (Alternative G) under which impacts on cultural resources and roadless areas would be minimized. Under Alternative G, the road accessing the confluence wildlife units would be relocated and timber harvesting would be eliminated in the Lower Middle Fork Sale units; these are the major difference between implementation under Alternative G and under the preferred alternative presented in the final EIS. Under Alternative G, some 1.6 million board feet (MMBF) of timber would be harvested on 1,073 acres; additionally the harvesting would produce 1.7 MMBF of poles and 518 cords of timber. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under any of the action alternatives, the scenic quality along East Fork Blacks Fork Road would be improved. Each year, under the action alternatives, harvesting would generate from $500 to $218,905 in county revenues and from $2,000 to $875,620 in total gross revenues. Habitat diversity would increase significantly, and transition range for big game would improve. Silvicultural treatments would contribute to the local economy and sustained yield goals in the overall national forest plan. Hunting opportunities in the area would increase. Riparian habitat currently judged to be in an unsatisfactory state would improve significantly over 10 to 20 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under all of the action alternatives, harvesting would result in a decrease in the vertical diversity of forest vegetation over time. Substantial increases in trucking costs could force some ranchers out of business. Trailing and/or trucking could adversely affect the recreational experience in the area, and fences could degrade visuals. Under Alternative G, 422 acres of roadless area would be adversely affected.

AN - 15223650; 4902 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of a long-term contract for water supplies from the Cachuma Project for Santa Barbara County, California, is proposed. Since 1955, the project has diverted and stored water from the Santa Ynez River in the northern part of the county, and has delivered that water to six member units for irrigation, municipal, and industrial uses. The project has been the principal water source for the Santa Ynez Valley and South Coast communities, delivering an average of 20,000 acre-feet of water per year (ACFY). The 40-year contract is scheduled to expire in May 1995. The Bureau of Reclamation owns and operates the Bradbury Dam, located approximately 25 miles northwest of Santa Barbara; all other project facilities, including Lake Cachuma, are managed by the Cachuma Project Authority, a government entity formed by the six member units in 1993. Issues of concern include the effects of contract renewal on water supply, agricultural production, socioeconomic conditions, groundwater resources, fish and other aquatic species, endangered and threatened species, recreation, land use, cultural resources, and Indian trust assets. Eight alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. There are a wide range of alternatives that involve modifications to the operation and yield of the Cachuma Project. The average annual project yield would range from 14,235 ACFY to 26,558 ACFY, depending on the alternative selected. The average annual releases for environmental purposes would range from zero to 12,452 ACFY. Under the No Action Alternative, the contract would be renewed in its present form with some changes in water prices. A preferred alternative has not yet been identified. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under several of the alternatives, the release of water from the dam would be increased considerably in order to improve fish and aquatic habitat and riparian conditions. Under a balanced-use alternative, some environmental enhancements would take place and consumption would be maintained at current levels. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the alternatives with high volumes of environmental releases, increased water rates and severe shortages of water for human uses would result. Water shortages, in turn, would adversely affect economic growth and agricultural production. Use of private wells by agricultural operations would possibly result in overdraft conditions in local groundwater basins. LEGAL MANDATES: Reclamation Project Act of 1939, as amended.

Preparation date: November 16, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CROWNPOINT URANIUM SOLUTION MINING PROJECT, CROWNPOINT, MCKINLEY COUNTY, NEW MEXICO. AN - 15225162; 4843 AB - PURPOSE: The licensing of in situ leach (ISL) uranium mining operations at two locations in McKinley County, New Mexico, is proposed. The applicant, Hydro Resources, Inc., would conduct ISL mining operations at its Church Rock site, which consists of 3,000 acres of leased public lands northeast of Gallup, New Mexico, and to perform central processing at a nearby plant in Crownpoint, New Mexico. The applicant would construct and operate a network of injection and recovery wells at the Crown Rock site; barren mining solution known as lixivant would be injected through these wells into an ore zone, and pregnant lixivant withdrawn. Each well would be pumped at about 25 gallons per minute. The uranium slurry would be transported to the Crownpoint facility for further processing. The uranium would be recovered from the mining solution by circulating it through ion exchange columns. All uranium slurry produced would be dried using a single dryer located in the central processing plant near Crownpoint. Groundwater quality would be restored by sweeping the ore zone with outlying clean groundwater and flushing the zone by recirculating injected decontaminated water. Treated water that meets groundwater standards would be recirculated in the aquifer during restoration, or injected back into the Westwater Canyon sandstone in a location isolated from mine units. Excess water that cannot be disposed of in this manner would be applied to the land using standard irrigation equipment. After mining operations have concluded, each site would be decontaminated or decommissioned, all contaminated material would be removed to a licensed waste disposal site, and all disturbed areas would be reclaimed for unrestricted use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would provide raw material to fabricate uranium fuel elements for reactors used by the commercial electric power generating industry. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mine operations would reduce the wildlife and grazing capacity of the lease areas. Accidental failure of retention pond embankments would contaminate groundwater and surface water.

Preparation date: November 15, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ROSEBURG DISTRICT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT, DOUGLAS COUNTY, OREGON. AN - 36412593; 4868 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a resource management plan for 423,900 acres of federal land surface and 1,717 acres of subsurface federal minerals administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in its Roseburg District, located in Douglas County, Oregon, is proposed. The district lies in the western foothills of the Cascade Range, the Oregon Coast Range, and the Klamath Mountains, in the western portion of the state. The land is predominantly forested with stands of Douglas-fir mixed conifer, and drains into the Umpqua River or a number of different coastal rivers. The plan would establish guidelines for management of this land for approximately ten years and would supersede four management framework plans for this land completed in 1983. Issues of concern include timber production practices, the maintenance of old-growth forests and habitat diversity, water quality protection, and the effects on threatened and endangered species habitat, special management areas, visual resources, recreation resources (including wild and scenic rivers), land tenure, and rural interface areas. Of particular interest is the issue of whether or not to harvest the remaining old-growth forests, and the likely effects of harvesting on biological diversity and the northern spotted owl, a threatened species. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, implementation would provide for an annual timber sale of seven million cubic feet (45 million board feet). Water quality would be maintained in all watersheds. In addition, it would maintain long-term soil productivity; retain 126,500 acres of old-growth forestland; protect all known spotted owl and bald eagle nesting sites; designate four new areas of critical environmental concern on 2,749 acres; develop 17 new recreation sites on 173 acres, two new special recreation management areas on 3,950 acres, and 13 new trails with a combined length of 35 miles; provide for oil/gas and geothermal leasing on 421,062 acres; and prohibit clear-cutting, herbicide spraying, and prescribed burning on 8,552 acres. Approximately 65 miles of road would be constructed on 350 acres in order to support timber harvesting activities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, implementation would provide a moderate sustained yield of forest products that would contribute to community stability consistent with other resource values. Wildlife habitat, soil productivity, recreational opportunities, and visual resources would improve. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The restrictions on timber harvesting under the preferred alternative would result in a decline in timber production, which would adversely affect all sectors of the area economy, particularly the lumber and wood products industry. Mill closures, decreasing employment, and migration from timber-dependent communities could result; the employment losses could increase local demand for social services. Air quality would be degraded by the prescribed burning each year of approximately 29,600 tons of slash. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

AN - 36410745; 4866 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a resource management plan for 316,592 acres of federal land and 1,299 acres of reserved mineral estate administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in its Eugene District, located in Benton, Douglas, Lane, and Linn counties, Oregon, is proposed. The plan would establish guidelines for management of these lands for approximately ten years and would supersede the management framework plans for these lands, completed in 1983. Issues of concern include timber production practices, the maintenance of old-growth forests and habitat diversity, watershed management, water quality protection, and the effects on threatened and endangered species habitat, special management areas, visual resources, stream and riparian areas, recreation resources, wild and scenic rivers, land tenure and access, and rural residential management areas. Of particular interest is the issue of whether or not to harvest the remaining old-growth forests, and the likely effects of harvesting on biological diversity and the northern spotted owl, a threatened species. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, approximately 233,000 acres would be managed for timber production; the annual allowable timber sale quantity would be 6.1 million cubic feet (36.1 million board feet). Such timber harvesting plans would require the construction of approximately eight miles of road. Approximately 38,000 acres of old-growth forest and 28,000 acres of mature forest would be retained at the end of the ten-year management period. One hundred acres around each old-growth site occupied by a pair of spotted owls would be protected from harvesting activities; an estimated 235,000 acres would be set aside for this purpose. In addition, sites for existing populations of bald eagles and marbled murrelets would be protected, and habitat for elk and other big game species would be improved. Three river segments covering 70 miles would be recommended for designation as wild and scenic rivers; seven areas of critical environmental concern would be designated; and 26 new recreational areas would be developed and managed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, implementation would emphasize a variety and mix of actions in an attempt to achieve a balance between competing demands on uses of public lands. In addition to identifying management direction within the planning area, the plan would identify public lands designated as open, closed, or limited to off-highway vehicles. Some wildlife habitats would improve. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The restrictions on timber harvesting under all of the alternatives would result in a decline in timber production for the area compared with production for the 1984-1988 period. Mill closures, decreasing employment, and migration from timber-dependent communities could result; the employment losses could increase local demand for social services. Old-growth and mature forest stands would decline in the short term. Sediment and turbidity could increase in some watersheds as a result of increased compaction. The water quality in seven watersheds would probably decline as a result of increased sedimentation. Air quality would be degraded by the prescribed burning each year of approximately 26,000 tons of debris and timber.

AN - 36399553; 4867 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a resource management plan for 212,000 acres of federal land and 21,000 acres of reserved mineral estate administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in its Klamath Falls District in southern Klamath County, Oregon, is proposed. The district is on the eastern slope of the Cascade Range. Water in the planning area drains into the upper Klamath River and the Lost River drainage. The west side is predominantly forested with mixed conifer species consisting of ponderosa pine, white fir, Shasta red fir, sugar pine, western white pine, and Douglas-fir. The east side is partially forested with ponderosa pine, and the remaining lands are juniper woodlands and rangelands. The plan would establish guidelines for management of these lands for approximately ten years and supersede the management framework plans for these lands that were completed in 1980 and 1983. Issues of concern include timber production practices, the maintenance of old-growth forests and habitat diversity, water quality protection, and the effects on threatened and endangered species habitat, special management areas, visual resources, recreation resources, wild and scenic rivers, land tenure, rural interface areas, hydroelectric and alternative energy projects, and grazing. Of particular interest is the issue of whether or not to harvest the remaining old-growth forests, and the likely effects of harvesting on the biological diversity of the area and on the northern spotted owl, a threatened species. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, implementation would provide for a planned annual timber sale of 1.11 million cubic feet (6.31 million board feet) while maintaining water quality in all watersheds and long-term biological diversity. In addition, it would maintain air quality and long-term soil productivity; restrict grazing near some riparian areas, while providing for the construction of 68 reservoirs and the development of 14 springs to support livestock; exclude 5,255 acres of old-growth forest lands and 5,510 acres of mature stands from timber harvesting; protect all known spotted owl and bald eagle nesting sites; designate four new areas of critical environmental concern on 8,200 acres; recommend 50 historic and prehistoric sites on 5,000 acres for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and one river segment 11 miles long for designation as a scenic river; develop 2 to 16 new recreation sites if funding were available; provide for oil/gas and geothermal leasing on 238,400 acres; and provide for the construction of 1.7 miles of road. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, implementation would provide a moderate sustained yield of forest products that would contribute to community stability consistent with other resource values. Some wildlife habitat would improve, as would soil productivity and visual resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The restrictions on timber harvesting under the preferred alternative would result in a decline in timber production, which would adversely affect all sectors of the area economy, particularly the lumber and wood products industry. Mill closures, decreasing employment, and migration from timber-dependent communities would result; the employment losses could increase local demand for social services. The water quality in one watershed would probably decline as a result of increased sedimentation. Air quality would be degraded by the prescribed burning of 102,000 tons of slash annually. Areas open to grazing would decline by five percent. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

AN - 36394143; 4865 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a resource management plan (RMP) for 398,100 acres of federal land and 27,800 acres of reserved mineral estate administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in its Salem District, located in northwestern Oregon, is proposed. The plan would establish guidelines for management of these lands for approximately ten years and would supersede two management framework plans for these lands, completed in 1983. Issues of concern include timber production practices, the maintenance of old-growth forests and habitat diversity, watershed management, water quality protection, and the effects on threatened and endangered species habitat, special management areas, visual resources, recreation resources, wild and scenic rivers, and land tenure and access. Of particular interest is the issue of whether or not to harvest the remaining old-growth forests, and the likely effects of harvesting on biological diversity and the northern spotted owl, a threatened species. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, some 55 percent of the land would be managed as late-successional reserves and 7 percent would be managed as connectivity areas linking older-forest forests; 27,400 acres would be managed for the maintenance of older-forest characteristics. The annual allowable timber sale quantity would be 34.8 million board feet. The RMP would be designed to protect federally-listed or proposed threatened and endangered plant and animal species, specifically the Pacific bald eagle, the marbled murrelet, and the northern spotted owl. Two new areas of critical environmental concern containing 690 acres would be designated. Segments of the Nestucca and Molalla rivers, totaling 27.7 miles, would be recommended for designation in the national wild and scenic rivers program. Biological connectivity corridors, special habitats such as talus slopes and meadows, elk and other species' habitats and forage, anadramous fish streams, and recreation at developed sites would be improved and enhanced. The Molalla River and Quartzville Creek roads would be dedicated as national backcountry byways. Five miles of road would be constructed in the next ten years. To facilitate motorized recreation, some 129,900 acres would be open year-round to off-road-vehicle (ORV) use, with some 39,000 acres being closed to ORVs and 229,200 acres having limited ORV use. Rural interface areas would total 36,380 acres. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, implementation would represent a sustainable balance between the protection of natural resources and the production of economic outputs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mineral leasing and timber harvesting opportunities would decline as a result of the restriction of some lands to habitat and recreation sites, adversely affecting local employment within those two industries.

AN - 36397423; 4771 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed for the White River Resource Area, encompassing 2.7 million acres of federal, state, and private lands in northwest Colorado. The resource area encompasses parts of Garfield, Moffat, and Rio Blanco counties and three incorporated towns (Dinosaur, Meeker, and Rangely). Focal issues identified during the scoping process and addressed include land acquisition and disposal, access to federal lands, designation of special management areas, wild and scenic river eligibility, black-footed ferret reintroduction for prairie dog control, wild horse management, and oil and gas leasing and development. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative D), implementation would involve the designation of 400 acres of timberlands and 27,600 acres of woodlands for harvesting; 90,380 acres as critical environmental concern area; 148,500 acres as no-surface-occupancy area for oil and gas leasing, with 1,228,280 acres as controlled-surface-use area and 939,000 acres as timing-limitation area. Motorized vehicles would be restricted to existing roads and trails. Forage would be provided to support up to 140 wild horses; livestock grazing levels would be reduced by 5 percent. Three wilderness areas would be established, but no rivers or streams would be recommended for wild and scenic designation. Special management measures would be implemented for restoration of ferret population and the protection of Colorado River cutthroat trout, ferruginous hawk, northern goshawk, raptor, and grouse habitat. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, implementation would update various land planning documents for the resource area, integrating them into one comprehensive land use plan while bringing management policy into compliance with recent court decisions and regulations. Habitat of a variety of wildlife and fish would be protected and/or provided. Significant visual, cultural, recreational, and geological resources would be protected or enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining, oil and gas development, and other exploitative land uses would adversely affect vegetation and associated wildlife habitat (including some federally listed species), streams and associated fishery habitat, soils, and air and water quality within the resource areas. Livestock forage would be reduced by roughly by 5 percent, and costs of grazing livestock would increase for area ranchers.

Preparation date: October 31, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ROSWELL AND CARLSBAD RESOURCE AREAS; CHAVES, CURRY, DEBACA, EDDY, GUADALUPE, LEA, LINCOLN, QUAY, AND ROOSEVELT COUNTIES, NEW MEXICO. AN - 36395135; 4779 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for the Roswell and Carlsbad resource areas in New Mexico is proposed. The areas together comprise 3.69 million acres of federally owned lands and minerals and 10.34 million acres of federally owned minerals (split estate). The two resource areas, located in the eastern and southeastern regions of the state, are being evaluated because of the similarity of oil and gas resources and development issues in the two areas and the interests in standardizing management. Focal issues identified during the scoping process and addressed include land acquisition and disposal, access to federal lands, designation of special management areas, and oil and gas leasing and development. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternatives, are considered for each of the resource areas in this draft EIS; Alternative E is the preferred alternative for each area. Under the preferred plan for the Carlsbad area, implementation would focus on oil and gas development. It would close 107,097 acres to oil and gas leasing, and allow leasing with no surface occupancy on 81,147 acres and controlled surface use on 3,906,756 acres; special mitigation measures would protect cave and karst from the effects of drilling and exploration. Wildlife improvement projects would have a no-surface-occupancy stipulation as would habitat areas for endangered and threatened species. Under the preferred plan for the Roswell area, implementation would consider all resources values and uses in the planning area. It would close 398,749 acres to oil and gas leasing, allow leasing with no surface occupancy on 28,913 acres and controlled surface use on 1,320 acres; it would also close 97,024 acres to solid mineral leasing and 70,458 acres to mineral material disposal. Up to 3,000 acres of public lands along the Rio Bonito would be considered for acquisition. An additional 93,000 acres of non-federal land would be considered on a case-by-case basis, while 150,000 acres of public lands would be considered for disposal. The following five areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs) would be designated: Overflow Wetlands (6,814 acres), North Pecos River (6,400 acres), Mescalero Sands (10,007 acres), Fort Stanton (24,630 acres), and Roswell Cave (16,818 acres). Off-road vehicle use would limited to designated roads and trails. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the two preferred alternatives, implementation would provide as much resource protection as possible while meeting multiple use mandates. Small isolated tracts of public lands in the Roswell area would be disposed, and access to lands with high resource values would be improved. Most lands with high and moderate oil and gas development potential would be available for exploration and development under standard lease terms. Large tracts of scenic areas would be preserved and protected, and habitat would be protected and/or provided for a variety of wildlife and fish. Significant visual, cultural, recreational, and geological resources would be protected or enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Land newly closed to oil and gas leasing would result in a loss in bonus bids of up to $2.48 million. Grazing capacity would decrease by about 11 percent largely as a result of ACEC designation, causing an economic hardship to ranchers.

Preparation date: October 24, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LAMEFOOT MINE, SUPPLEMENT TO THE KETTLE RIVER KEY PROJECT EXPANSION, FERRY COUNTY, WASHINGTON (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF AUGUST 1992). AN - 36410536; 4764 AB - PURPOSE: The extraction of additional gold ore from the Lamefoot Mine in north central Ferry County, Washington, is proposed. The project area is located along the western flank of the Kettle River Mountain Range, roughly 120 miles northwest of Spokane. The project applicant, Echo Bay Minerals, Inc., currently operates two open-pit gold mines within 20 miles of the proposed site. The operation of these mines was the subject of a final EIS of August 1992 prepared by the Forest Service (FS). This final EIS supplements that final EIS of the FS by proposing an additional operation at the Lamefoot Mine. Under the proposed action, ore would be extracted by a long-hole open-stoping mining technique, loading the ore into underground trucks and transporting it to the surface where it would be hauled to the Key Mill site via state and county roads. The ore would be processed by the conventional carbon-in-leach method, then stored at an existing tailings impoundment located on private land. Waste rock would be deposited in temporary waste storage piles at the Lamefoot site. Upon completion of the commercial mining phase, the waste rock would be hauled underground and used as backfill to provide ground support and mitigate the potential for acid formation. Reclamation would include the use of topsoil and fertilization, if it were necessary, to revegetate areas of surface disturbance, erosion, and sediment control until revegetation has occurred; once mining operations were completed, the area would be managed for wildlife habitat. The project under the preferred alternative would be identical to that under proposed action except that it would attempt to minimize potential water quality impacts by limiting mining to elevations above the post-closure water table of 2,750 feet. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would increase the nation's gold reserves, and benefit the local economy by supporting 68 direct jobs and 102 indirect jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 45 to 50 acres would be disturbed, including up to 12 acres of public land, resulting in erosion and the associated sedimentation of receiving waters as well as habitat loss for mule deer and other species.

Preparation date: October 21, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RAND PROJECT, RANDSBURG, KERN COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36396039; 4762 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of mining operations at three adjacent open-pit heap-leach mine projects operated by the Rand Mining Company in Kern County, California, is proposed. The projects, known as the Yellow Aster Mine-Descarga Project, the Lamont Mine Project, and the Baltic Mine Project, are located in eastern Kern County, 40 miles northeast of Mojave and 25 miles south of Ridgecrest. The project area contains 2,520 acres, of which 855 acres are private land and 1,665 acres are unpatented lode and placer claims on public lands. The applicant has conducted gold and silver mining operations in the area since 1984. Under the proposed action, the project would involve the expansion of the three mines and the development of new facilities, including a satellite ore deposit, two wasterock stockpiles, two heap leach pads, and other processing facilities. Under the proposed action, an additional 60 million tons of ore and 72 million tons of waste rock would be mined from the three pit expansions and satellite deposits. The facilities would maintain an operating rate of 45,000 tons per day. The ore would be processed at the existing and proposed heap leach recover facilities, extending the life of the ongoing operations by nine or ten years; as a result, mining would continue to occur until the year 2006, at which point a six-year reclamation effort would commence. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the expansion would sustain mining operations in the area for nine to ten more years, providing $17.6 million in expenditures for payroll, taxes, and local purchases. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The expansion would disturb an additional 511 acres. The area would be vulnerable to erosion during and after mining operations, and 132 acres would be permanently lost from grazing use. Wildlife would be displaced or killed as a result of mining activities, including desert tortoise and the Mohave ground squirrel. The water table would decline significantly at certain locations because of the water requirements of the mining operations.

Preparation date: October 14, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ELWHA RIVER ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION, CLALLAM COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36395356; 4783 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of the native anadromous fisheries and ecosystem of the Elwha River in Clallam County, Washington, is proposed. Much of the 45-mile-long river flows through the Olympic National Park. In the early 1900s, the free-flowing Elwha River was blocked by two hydroelectric dams. In 1912 the Elwha Dam was built 4.9 miles from the mouth of the river, creating Lake Aldwell. In 1926, the Glines Canyon dam was built 8.5 miles further upstream, creating Lake Mills. The presence and operation of the dams blocked the migration path for several species of salmon and trout, which, after maturing in the ocean, return to Elwha to spawn, and the dams prevent the downstream flow of nutrients, sediment, and woody debris needed by the fish to spawn and rear juveniles. The fish were also important to the diet, culture, and economy of a local Indian tribe, the Lower Elwha S'Klallam Tribe. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the restoration project would include the acquisition and decommissioning of both dams, the draining of the reservoirs, and the removal of all or part of the dams, powerhouses, and auxiliary structures. These actions would require the diversion of the river around the dams and the management of 14 million to 15 million cubic yards of sediments that have accumulated behind the dams over the past 81 years. The river could be diverted by way of a tunnel, surface diversion channel, low level diversion through the dam structure, or by notching dam down from the top. Sediment could be transported naturally by the river, stabilized on site, or dredged and removed offsite. Pieces of the dam or historically important structures could be left in place. Restoration efforts would begin by planting some species in the middle and upper river while the dams are still in place. To accommodate juvenile downstream migration of these species, turbine runners might need to be removed at both dams. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would fully restore the Elwha River ecosystem, return the cultural and economic focus of the Lower Elwha S'Klallam Tribe, and promote the federal trust responsibility to affected Indian tribes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Deactivation of the dams would result in the loss of 18.7 megawatts of hydroelectric power now produced at these two sites. If sediment were allowed to erode naturally, the finer-grained particles, like silt and clay, could adversely affect fish or other aquatic organisms.

AN - 36395215; 4767 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Mohave County, Arizona, and Clark County, Nevada, is proposed. The plan as presented in the final EIS of September 1986 proposed to accommodate projected increases in visitor uses by expanding and improving developed areas, improving circulation and existing shoreline access points, and establishing new sites for development. More specifically, the plan proposed to expand three developed areas along Lake Mohave: Katherine Landing, Cottonwood Cove, and Willow Beach. Willow Beach is located on the Arizona shore of Lake Mohave, approximately 11 river miles below Hoover Dam. Historically, Willow Beach has operated as a small fishing resort, providing access to the northern part of the lake and its excellent trout fishing. The 1986 plan proposed to maintain the general character of the area, with moderate improvements in parking and other support facilities. This final supplement to the final EIS considers changes to recreational facilities at Willow Beach and the relocation of existing facilities to areas with less risk of suffering damage from flooding. Four amendments to the 1986 plan are under consideration, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A). Under the proposed amendment (Alternative C), commercial facilities would be reduced in order to increase public access to the riverfront. The National Park Service would purchase concession operations and eliminate the following facilities: motel, trailer village, concession maintenance, dry boat storage, restaurant/store, and marina. A new concession contract would be offered to provide a store, boat and car gas service, and small boat rental. A courtesy dock, recreational vehicle dump station, and a 50-site campground would be provided. Visitor use would be dispersed along the shore with the addition of picnic sites, fishing piers, small docks, connecting trails, vegetative screening, and bank stabilization. Parking for 330 vehicles would be provided. All new facilities would be located outside the probable maximum floodplain; floodwalls would be constructed where needed. The cost of structural flood mitigation would be approximately $2.15 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the amendment would enhance visitor experience along the riverfront while minimizing the potential damages from a future flood. Although some visitor experiences would no longer be available at Willow Beach, visitors would still be provided with boat access. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 20 acres of creosote bush would be disturbed by new or relocated facilities, resulting in a permanent loss of desert tortoise habitat. One known archaeological site may be within the project area. A trailer village with 60 units would be eliminated, and tenants would have to move outside the immediate area.

Preparation date: October 13, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TONOPAH RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT, ESMERALDA AND NYE COUNTIES, NEVADA. AN - 15224181; 4778 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for 6.1 million acres of public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the Tonapah Resource Area, located in Esmeralda and Nye counties, Nevada, is proposed. The plan would consolidate two existing management plans into one comprehensive plan. Focal issues include the effects on resource development (particularly development of hard-rock and fluid minerals), sensitive plant and animal species, lands and rights-of-way needs, and cultural resources. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the major objective would be to maintain or improve watershed conditions in the resource area. Seven areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs) would be designated. Off-highway vehicle use would be restricted to 23 percent of the resource area. Some 1,000 cords of firewood per year would be harvested from designated areas. Livestock grazing would be excluded from 13,761 acres. Approximately 607,799 acres would be closed to fluid mineral leasing, some 50,425 would have no-surface-occupancy restrictions, and 72,400 acres would have seasonal restrictions. The proposed action was developed in response to comments received from the draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 4), implementation would attempt to strike a balance between the development of renewable and nonrenewable resources and the protection of fragile and unique resources. Seven ACECs would be designated. Water resources for wild horses and burros would be developed in herd management areas, and the horses and burros would be managed to ensure a natural, thriving ecological balance consistent with the principles of multiple use. Off-highway-vehicle (OHV) use would be excluded or restricted on 21 percent of the resource area. Some 668 miles of utility corridors would be designated in areas where industry has indicated a need for electric transmission lines that would join corridors in adjoining jurisdictions. Pipelines would also follow these routes. Livestock would be restricted or excluded from 23,607 acres, and grazing management would be implemented on 33.3 miles of stream. Firewood would be harvested from 11,850 acres, with a 1,000-cord restriction on the amount cut annually being imposed. Approximately 72,640 acres of important wildlife habitat would be protected from land disposal and land-use authorizations. Approximately 604,535 acres would be closed to fluid mineral leasing, 3,264 acres would have no-surface-occupancy restrictions, and 72,400 acres would have seasonal restrictions. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The designation of the ACECs and the restrictions on OHV use would benefit four sensitive species: the Railroad Valley springfish, Amargosa toad, Oasis Valley speckled dace, and desert tortoise. Habitat would benefit from the implementation of the findings of a rangeland monitoring and evaluation program. Wildlife would benefit from the protection of 72,640 acres of important habitat from land disposal and land use authorizations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Land disposals and the proposed restrictions on grazing would adversely affect the livestock industry in the area, resulting in a gross income loss of roughly $76,125. Mineral activity would be reduced by 15 percent as a result of land withdrawals or restrictions on vehicle use.

AN - 36400329; 4773 AB - PURPOSE: The development of Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park in Hawaii, including the construction of visitor facilities and services, increased staffing, and the implementation of resource management strategies, is proposed. The park is located on the North Kona coast of the island of Hawaii, approximately three miles north of the Kailua and three miles south of Keahole Airport. The park contains over 500 acres, most of which consists of the offshore waters of Honokohau Bay. Conditions affecting the park include its location near a rapidly expanding urban area, the incompatible uses of adjacent lands, and rapidly increasing visitor use. In 1991, 46,790 people visited the park, up from 12,500 in 1988. The key issues related to park improvement include the effects of land acquisition, adjacent land use, access and development, visitor use, the establishment of a park advisory commission, and resource protection and management. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, which is the National Park Service's general management plan, the project would lead to full development of the park. The facilities to be constructed would include an orientation center, an amphitheater, and an administrative office complex; restrooms near Honokohau beach; and a live-in cultural education complex where a limited number of people, Hawaiians and others, could recreate traditional Hawaiian ways. A vehicle access road would be built from the existing highway to the orientation center. Underground utilities would be installed from the highway to the orientation center, and from the center to the beach restrooms. A parkwide trail system would be built to provide access to the park's cultural and natural attributes. The existing administrative and maintenance facilities located in nearby Kaloko Industrial Park would be relocated to the national park. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the implementation of management strategies for maintaining and enhancing cultural and natural resources would be made possible because of the proposed staffing increases. Visitor safety and interpretive services would be improved. Without the implementation of any resource development, the park's resources would degrade over the long term. Vegetation management plans, including the removal of alien grasses and introduction of native species, would contribute to the integrity of the park and reduce fire hazards. Habitat improvement and predator control plans would help endangered coot and stilt populations. The addition of a marine biologist position would enhance the park's capability to better protect marine resources. The construction activities and increased staffing would benefit the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, development would include the disruption of the park's historic resources in places where development was undertaken, and the covering over of about four acres of parkland with impervious surfaces, such as buildings, parking facilities, and roads. The introduction of underground sewer lines would increase the potential for spills from broken pipes to affect the park's groundwater. The runoff from parking and road surfaces could also enter groundwater during precipitation.

Preparation date: September 28, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CYPRUS TOHONO CORPORATION PROPOSED MINE EXPANSION, PINAL COUNTY, ARIZONA. AN - 15223485; 4760 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion by the Cyprus Tohono Corporation of the Cyprus Tohono Mine located on the Papago Indian Reservation in Pinal County, Arizona, is proposed. The copper mine site is located in south-central Arizona on the southwestern flank of the Slate Mountain formation, approximately 32 miles southwest of Casa Grande in Indian Highway 15. The mine is currently leased from the Tohono O'odham Indian Nation. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the project would involve the conversion from in-situ mining to open pit operations, construction of an overburden disposal area, expansion of the existing heap leach facility, and construction of associated facilities. The open pit would be continuously expanded throughout the life of the mine, an estimated 13-year period. Pit size at the anticipated life of the mine would be approximately 4,000 feet in diameter and 1,000 feet in depth. Overburden would be removed by drilling and blasting, and ore would be loaded onto haul trucks for transport to the processing area. The overburden disposal area would be located west of the open pit; roughly 367 million tons of overburden would be placed on 790 acres. The construction of the heap leach pads would take place on approximately 450 acres of undisturbed lands and 15 acres of previously disturbed lands. The leach pads would be constructed directly south of the open pit and expanded toward the plant areas to its ultimate capacity as the mine life continues. Ultimate design capacity would be approximately 157.8 million tons with leach ore on the pad reaching a height of 200 to 300 feet. Under the other action alternative, major mine components would be located south of the existing access road. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would result in an increase of 238 jobs, adding $15 million in personal income to the state economy during each year of production. Roughly half of the new employees would be residents of the reservation. Additional economic benefits would include increased royalty payments and increased purchases of energy, water, and other services from reservation companies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would result in the disturbance of approximately 1,660 acres, representing 16 percent of the acreage leased to Cyprus from the reservation. The mine would have a dewatering effect on groundwater in the vicinity of the pit, and there could be accidental discharges of leach solutions as a result of a torn synthetic liner. Several threatened and sensitive species have been observed in or near the project site. The overburden disposal area and the heap leach pad would be visible from segments of Indian Highway 15 and the community of North Komelik.

AN - 36407384; 4780 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Wind Cave National Park in Custer County, South Dakota, is proposed. The park, which covers approximately 28,000 acres in the southern Black Hills of South Dakota, was established in 1903 to protect Wind Cave from commercial exploitation. Subsequent legislation established the park as a preserve for big game animals, particularly bison and pronghorn antelope. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative B), implementation would mitigate the effects of surface facilities and activities on Wind Cave, provide additional opportunities for visitors to experience and appreciate its surface resources, and promote and conduct scientific studies of the park's natural resources. The park would continue to be managed primarily as a day-use area, with both moderately developed camping and backcountry camping being available. Interpretation would be expanded to include such topics as the Civilian Conservation Corps; the history and prehistory of the area; and the forest, grassland, and fire ecology. Existing wayside exhibits would be replaced, a self-guided hiking trail would be developed on the surface, the visitor center would be remodeled to provide a 50-seat auditorium and space for additional exhibits, and an audio cassette for auto tours would be developed. The campground would be reduced in size, rehabilitated, and relocated outside of the 100-year floodplain; some campsites would be made accessible to persons with disabilities. The parking lot would be rebuilt, and its asphalt surface would be replaced with concrete. The administrative space in the visitor center would be remodeled, and a fire suppression system installed. A well would be drilled in order to provide a backup to the existing domestic water supply. The estimated development costs under the proposed action are $9.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would improve Wind Cave's interpretation facilities, thereby enhancing visitors' appreciation of the cave, and facilitate the monitoring and protection of its underground and surface resources. Upgrading the campground's toilet facilities would eliminate the possibility that sewage could leach into the cave from existing septic tanks. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased visitor use would result in a minor disruption of wildlife and increase the risk of damage to cave formations.

Preparation date: September 12, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - JEWEL CAVE NATIONAL MONUMENT, CUSTER COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA. AN - 36399636; 4781 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Jewel Cave National Monument in Custer County, South Dakota, is proposed. The cave, which is located in the western portion of the Black Hills, is the second longest cave in the U.S. and the fourth longest in the world. As of May 1993, more than 90 miles of passageways had been explored, surveyed, and mapped, but that is thought to be only a fraction of the entire cave system. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the project would attempt to mitigate the effects of surface facilities and activities on Jewel Cave, to accommodate an increased number of visitors while using only a small portion of the cave, and to provide additional interpretive facilities to enable visitors to experience and appreciate the surface resources. The primary visitor activity would continue to be cave tours, but hiking and picnicking opportunities would also be offered. The number of tours on the historic trail would be increased, and if an appropriate area were found, a second cave tour would be developed. The visitor center would be remodeled to add approximately 5,000 square feet of space, including a 50-seat auditorium and space for additional exhibits, and the parking lot at the visitor center would be redesigned to reduce potential impacts to the area's hydrology and cave resources. Wayside exhibits, brochures, and audiovisual programs on cave resources would be developed in order to enhance visitor experiences. A concession-operated food service would be provided during the peak of the visitor season, and picnicking facilities would be added in the historic area. The water pipeline from the reservoir to the historic area would be enlarged in order to accommodate both visitor use and fire suppression needs. If sewage problems could not be solved otherwise, a one-acre lagoon would be added to the existing sewage treatment area in order to provide additional capacity and to eliminate any need to pump and haul sewage. The existing septic tanks and leach field at the historic area would be taken out of service. Staffing would increase by 11 full-time positions, which would require the construction of additional housing and other facilities. Annual operation and maintenance costs under the proposed action would be about $610,000; estimated development costs are $4.99 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would improve Jewel Cave's interpretation facilities, thereby enhancing visitors' appreciation of the cave, and facilitate the monitoring and protection of its underground and surface resources. The local economy would experience a short-term boost from the proposed construction activity and a long-term boost from the expected increase in tourism. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction work could alter drainage patterns and, thereby, adversely affect the cave's hydrology. The placement of lights in a passageway of the cave to accommodate a second cave tour would result in an increase in algae growth within the cave; the presence of people in the passageway would bring in lint and other foreign matter and could possibly alter the passageway's temperature and relative humidity.

AN - 36407288; 4761 AB - PURPOSE: The construction by CR Briggs Corporation of a an open-pit heap-leach gold mine project on a 940-acre site in the Panamint Valley in southeastern California is proposed. The site is approximately 34 air miles northeast of the city of Ridgecrest and located about 3.5 miles west of the Panamint Ridge ridgeline that forms that southwestern boundary of Death Valley National Monument. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the Briggs project would mine ore and associated unmineralized rock from an open pit. Unmineralized rock would be discarded in waste rock dumps that would be constructed outward from the steep slopes of the Panamint Range. Ore would be processed using cyanide heap leach methods; gold would be recovered using carbon adsorption. The project would be designed to mine and process an estimated 21 million tons of ore and approximately 27 million tons of waste rock. At an average ore processing rate of four million tons annually, the project would operate for about six years. Major components of the project would include a mine pit, two waste rock piles, crushing and ore transport facilities, a heap leach pad, process water storage ponds, a gold processing plant, a clay borrow area, and growth media stockpiles. The heap leach pad and process water ponds would be constructed with low permeability liners consisting of plastic membranes and compacted low permeability fine-grained soil. The soil would be supplied from an onsite borrow area and one off-site location. Power would be provided by onsite generators. Approximately 400 gallons per minute of water would be required, primarily for ore processing and dust control. During construction, surface soils from disturbed areas would be salvaged and stockpiled for use as growth media for final site reclamation. Reclamation would occur concurrent with site activities in areas that would not be subject to additional disturbance. Decommissioning and reclamation would occur for about one year after completion of operations. Action alternatives recommending different ore beneficiation rates, a reduced project size, modified waste rock pile configurations, and alternative waste rock and processed ore disposal are also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would provide 130 direct jobs and 160 indirect jobs, generating local economic benefits of about $23 million, including payroll, goods and services purchased, and taxes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would disturb up to 505 acres of desert land and adversely affect two species classified by the state as sensitive: the Townsend big-eared bat and the burrowing owl. The project would cause a local exceedance of air quality standards for particulates. The waste rock pile, the heap leach pile, and the mine pit highwall would adversely affect visual resources. Heavy truck traffic would create some safety hazards on local roadways.

AN - 36404777; 4763 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a permit Robinson Mining Limited Partnership (RMLP) for the development of a copper mine in the Robinson Mining District located near Ely, Nevada, is proposed. The project area is located in White Pine County, six miles west of Ely. All mining would take place on private land; public land would be used for waste dumps, leaching facilities, disposal of mill tailings, and pipeline and power line corridors. Roughly 3,216 acres of private land and 2,140 acres of public land would be affected under the proposed action. Copper was mined in the area from 1908 until 1978, when Kennocott Copper Corporation terminated its mining operations. Surface disturbances from historic mining activities have left a total contiguous area of approximately 3,370 acres with little or no vegetation, and mining remains the sole land use in the area. RMLP would restart copper mining activities by expanding the existing open-pit mines and new concentrating and leaching facilities, and expand gold leaching activities. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the project would involve the construction and operation of new ore crushing facilities, a copper and molybdenum concentrator, a mill tailings facility, gold and copper heap leach pads and ponds, and a solvent extraction /electrowinning plant. The project would also require the construction of a 230-kilovolt electric transmission line from the Gonder substation south of McGill, to the project site and water production wells in North Robinson Canyon and near Keystone dump with related power and pipelines to the project area. The project would also require the expansion and continued mining of the Liberty, Veteran-Tripp, Ruth, Kimbley, and Wedge pits; expanded use of existing waste rock disposal areas; construction of runoff diversion channels, waste rock dump toe protection beams, and runoff catchment channels and basins; and construction and operation of a new tailings slurry pipeline. Under the preferred alternative for tailings disposal, a straight-across tailings dam would be constructed in Giroux Wash and tailings from Liberty pit would be placed in this site until Liberty pit were economically mined, then the remaining tailings would be placed into Liberty pit. Mining operations would begin in 1996 and would continue for 15 years. Reclamation would continue for another seven years. The anticipated daily production is 690 tons of copper concentrate, 50 tons of electrowon cathode copper, and 2 tons of molybdenum concentrate. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The production of copper and gold would boost the local, regional, and national economies and provide 908 direct and indirect jobs, primarily for area residents. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Withdrawal of groundwater at an annual rate of 3,500 gallons per minute for milling and leaching activities would occur over 15 years, drawing down the water table by 520 feet. Project operations would disturb approximately 3,345 acres of land. Birds and other wildlife would be exposed to poor quality water in pit lakes and tailings pools.

AN - 36408346; 4744 AB - PURPOSE: The reduction or elimination of safety hazards associated with the Crow Creek Dam located on the Crow Creek Sioux Indian Reservation in Buffalo County, South Dakota, is proposed. The earth-fill dam, which was constructed in the late 1930's, has a crest length of 1,425 feet, a crest width of about 35 feet, and a height of about 54.5 feet above the stream bed. Performance of the spillway has been inadequate since the dam was completed, and it is presently in an advanced state of deterioration. Erosion of the spillway from sustained flows could also lead to erosion of the dam embankment and embankment foundation. Because of the condition of the spillway, the dam cannot safely pass significant flood flows without risking the complete failure of the spillway and the earthen dam. The dam is one of 70 dams on Indian reservations determined to represent high or significant safety hazards; in June 1992, it was ranked as the 6th most deficient among those 70 dams. Dam failure would threaten lives and property downstream along the floodplain of Crow Creek and the Missouri River to Lake Francis Case, located 2.5 miles downstream from the dam. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under three of the action alternatives, the existing dam would be rehabilitated in order to achieve a design flood capacity of up to 100,000 cubic feet per second; another alternative would involve replacing the existing dam with a concrete gravity dam designed for overtopping; under the preferred alternative (Alternative 6), a controlled breach of the dam and draining of the reservoir would be involved. The draining would occur over a five-year period in order to minimize the amount of sediment released downstream. The sediment in the reservoir would be stabilized by natural vegetation. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $3.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would eliminate the possibility of a catastrophic dam failure that would destroy lives and property. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would result in the loss of the reservoir for water recreation and livestock watering as well as the loss of a historic structure representative of the Great Depression. Recreational use of the area would be limited as a result of the accumulation of sediment. Up to 50 percent of the sediment contained in the reservoir would be released to the downstream Crow Creek channel and Lake Francis Case over a ten- year period.

Preparation date: August 25, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CORTEZ PIPELINE GOLD DEPOSIT, LANDER COUNTY, NEVADA. AN - 36403923; 4667 AB - PURPOSE: The development and operation a new gold mine and processing facility by Cortez Gold Mines (Cortez) to be located approximately seven miles northwest of the existing Cortez facilities in Lander County, in north-central Nevada, is proposed. The ore body that would be developed is called the Pipeline deposit, named for the presence of a nearby pipeline. The site is located within the Crescent Valley, south of Battle Mountain. Several other mining operations (mining primarily precious metals) are located in the general vicinity. The Pipeline deposit was discovered and evaluated 1991-92, and contains sufficient ore reserves to allow continuous operation of a new mine and processing plant for at least 12 years after plant commissioning. Under the proposed action, the project would involve the development of a new open-pit mine with associated dewatering system and waste dumps; the construction of a new combined-heap leach/tailing impoundment facility and a new 5,000-ton-per-day ore processing facility complete with appurtenant facilities (such as shops, warehouses, offices, changehouses, and laboratories); and the continuation of exploration drilling. Mining activities would take place on unpatented mining claims or privately owned property. A total of approximately 1,880 acres would be affected. Alternatives to the proposed action include various options for location and operation of plan components. The range of alternatives considered consists primarily of operational rather than location alternatives because the feasibility of the project depends upon processing facilities being located relatively close to the ore body. A No Action Alternative is also considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would increase the annual mining and production rates, and increase in the total Cortez work force. Under the proposed action, the project would result in an increase of an average of 70 direct and 52 indirect jobs in the project area. Most of these new employees would reside in Elko and Battle Mountain and would create additional demand for housing, schools, and law enforcement. Additional revenues from net proceeds from mines, sales, and property taxes would be generated for Lander, Eureka, and Elko counties because of an increase in assessed valuation and payroll. Although the proposed activity would involve the expansion of existing mine sites, the additive increase in visual contrast would not draw significant visual attention. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of the open pit mine would disturb 241 acres; an additional 586 acres would be disturbed for a waste rock dump area, and 440 acres for the heap leach/tailings facility. Under the proposed action, the project would result in fugitive dust emissions from construction activities, blasting in the open-pit mine, operation of haul roads, and exploration. Approximately 1,800 acres of soil would be disturbed. Significant water table drawdowns would be experienced within five to seven miles of the project site. Two groundwater wells would be adversely affected. Subsidence of the land surface could occur as the underlying aquifer compresses. Water quality would be threatened by acid rock drainage, including cyanide, as well as metals and other compounds. Tailing impoundments could produce acute toxicity affecting wildlife habitat. Under the proposed action, the project would have a moderate, incremental effect on dispersed and developed recreational resources.

Preparation date: August 24, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LAKE CHELAN NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, CHELAN COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36404004; 4696 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for the development and visitor use of the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area (NRA), located in the northernmost reaches of the Cascade Range in northwestern Washington, is proposed. Lake Chelan is a natural lake that developed within a broad glacial trough; in the 1920s, it was dammed to increase its capacity and to provide power for the development of northwestern industries. The NRA consists of 63,090 acres of park and wilderness area contiguous to North Cascades National Park and Ross Lake NRA. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the Lake Chelan NRA would be managed as a transitional area from the downlake developed area to the very wild and natural North Cascade National Park. The National Park Service would not manipulate the Stehekin River nor remove or manipulate woody debris except to protect public roads and bridges. The active sand, rock, and gravel borrow pit would be maintained at less than or equal to its current size. Fire suppression, prescribed natural fire, management-ignited prescribed fire, and selective manual fuel reductions would be used to restore or replicate the natural role of fire. Firewood would be provided at fair market value instead of a set permit fee and there would be no guaranteed cordage per year. The airstrip would remain open under a special use permit. Land protection efforts would emphasize high flood influence areas, wetlands, riparian areas, and visually sensitive areas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the plan for development and visitor use would preserve the natural and cultural resources of the NRA, while providing enjoyment and learning opportunities for many thousands of visitors. It would include the restoration of about 27 acres of the Stehekin River floodplain, 26 acres in or near wetlands, and 151 acres of riparian communities. It would also guide the management of the NRA for the next 10 to 15 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development activities would occur on 230 acres of upland communities. Under the proposed action, some energy-related air pollutants within the Stehekin Valley would substantially increase. LEGAL MANDATES: Public Law 90-544 and Public Law 100-668.

Preparation date: August 19, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL MONUMENT, RIVERSIDE AND SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA. AN - 15223545; 4676 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for development and visitor use of Joshua Tree National Monument, located in the Mojave and Colorado deserts of southern California, is proposed. The monument occupies 560,000 acres, most of which is legislated wilderness; the monument is the only desert wilderness in California set aside for the preservation of natural, cultural, historic, and scenic resources. It was established as a unit in the national park system in 1936. Visitor use of the monument has increased significantly since the last management plan was completed in 1964. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative B), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative A), day-use capacity would be expanded in the most heavily used areas of the monument, primarily in existing disturbed areas. All monument lands would be separated into management zones: 557,364 acres would be set aside as natural zones; 180 acres would be set aside as cultural zones to protect historic and archaeological sites; and 3,411 acres would be set aside as a park development zone to accommodate visitors and management operations. A new visitor center at the west entrance would focus on the ecology of the Mojave Desert, the northern visitor center would be converted to a cultural center, and the southern visitor center would be replaced by a larger facility that would focus on the resources of the Colorado Desert. All major roads would be reconstructed. A network of new and existing roads, trails, parking areas, and shuttle routes would improve circulation and distribution of visitors in the most heavily used areas. Illegal access points to the monument would be closed to decrease the vandalism, theft, and destruction now taking place in areas with uncontrolled access. A Minimum Requirements Alternative is also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, implementation would minimize the disturbance to resources while increasing visitor activities and services. It would preserve the vegetation and the unique geological and archaeological features of the monument while providing enjoyment and learning opportunities for many thousands of visitors. It would also guide the management of the monument for the next 10 to 15 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, implementation would disturb approximately 104 acres, although 25 of those acres would be in areas where the vegetation and soil are already disturbed. Up to 300 Joshua trees would be displaced or adversely affected as a result of development plans.

AN - 15220823; 4677 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Presidio of San Francisco, which will operate within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, in San Francisco, California, is proposed. The Presidio consists of 1,480 acres located at the northern tip of the San Francisco peninsula on the south side of Golden Gate Park. Because of its strategic location, the Presidio has served as a U.S. Army post from 1846 to the present; the area contains 870 historic buildings representing a variety of military architectural styles. By 1995 the Presidio will be transferred from the Army to the National Park Service and become part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative B), are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative A), cultural and natural resources throughout the Presidio would be preserved and enhanced, and major new programs would be established through public-private partnerships. Nearly 462 historic buildings would be rehabilitated, preserved, or restored and adapted for new uses; 228 nonhistoric and 48 historic buildings totaling two million square feet of interior space would be removed to enhance cultural and natural settings and provide additional opportunities for outdoor recreation. The Letterman Army Medical Center would be removed unless a satisfactory rehabilitation plan is developed. By the year 2010, 590 units of the 1,192 existing housing units would be removed, about 96 units would be used for visitor lodging, and 504 units would be used by Park Service staff and Army personnel. Open space would increase from about 780 acres to 980 acres. The total acreage of native plant habitat would be expanded from 145 acres to 185 acres. About 20 to 80 acres of the once-extensive wetlands at Crissy Field would be restored as would a portion of the Crissy Field dune system; rare, threatened, and endangered plants would be monitored, protected, and enhanced; and some 60 acres of native habitat within the historic Presidio Forest would be restored. The total number of parking spaces would be reduced from 13,000 to 8,400, and alternatives to automobile use would be promoted. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, implementation would enhance visitor appreciation of the historic significance and natural beauty of the area. In addition, it would benefit the regional economy; by the year 2010, Presidio employment would be 4,800 people and its payroll would be $129 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed plan, implementation would remove 48 historic buildings; most of these structures are at Crissy Field in the Directorate of Engineering and Housing complex at the east end and the World War II barracks area at the west end.

Preparation date: August 19, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - THEATER MISSILE DEFENSE EXTENDED TEST RANGE (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT EIS OF JANUARY 1994). AN - 36410193; 4652 AB - PURPOSE: The conducting of up to 100 extended range tests of target missiles, defensive missiles, and sensor systems at one or more test range areas during the 1994-2000 period is proposed. The tests would provide realistic test situations for defenses to operate within a simulated theater of operations that would include target missiles. They would also include the conducting of target and other missile system flights over distances not to exceed 750 miles. Potential off-range launch locations could include land areas and sea based platforms. Missile-to-missile intercepts would occur over existing test range areas or over open sea areas. Four candidate test areas are the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico and Fort Bliss in Texas, with off-range missile launches from sites in New Mexico and Utah; Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) on Santa Rosa Island and at Cape San Blas in Florida, with off-range launches from a sea-based platform in the Gulf of Mexico; Vandenberg AFB, San Nicolas Island, and San Clemente Island in California, with off-range launches from a sea-based platform in the Pacific Ocean; and Kwajalein Missile Range in the Marshall Islands and Wake Island, also with off-range launches from the Pacific. Some combination of test range areas would likely be implemented since no single area would satisfy all test objectives. This draft supplement to the draft EIS of July 1994 considers new potential booster drop zones at the White Sands site; the new drop zones would result in a change in the projected flight trajectory that would reduce the size of launch hazard area. The drop zones would be located along the missile flight paths from the Green River Launch Complex and Fort Wingate Depot Activity to White Sands. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The missile testing activities would allow the full validation of system design and operational effectiveness of a ground-based TMD missile and sensor system. The project would provide target flights over distances that would not be attainable on most existing ranges. It would also effectively simulate a hostile missile attack against a theater of operations. Hostile missiles would include Scud-type ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and air-to-surface guided missiles launched against a specific target. The U.S. presently has a limited TMD capability; existing air defenses provide a very limited capability for point defense and no capability for area defense of military and geopolitical targets against theater missiles. The changes in designated drop zones would exclude I-70 and the Green River from exposure to launch-related risks. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Aircraft in the immediate vicinity would be temporarily rerouted during any test flights conducted from Fort Wingate. Booster drops would disturb wildlife habitat and vegetation in the immediate area. The testing would temporarily restrict recreational access to the islands in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse State Park in Utah, and closure and evacuation of the Chain of Craters area of El Malpais National Monument in New Mexico. The influx of support personnel on Kwajalein Island would have significant adverse infrastructure and socioeconomic impacts. LEGAL MANDATES: Missile Act of 1991.

Preparation date: August 5, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - COLUMBIA RIVER SYSTEM OPERATION REVIEW. AN - 36408299; 4741 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a system operating strategy and a regional forum for the Columbia River System to allow interested parties other than federal agencies a role in making decisions involving power distribution and allocation within the region is proposed. The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) markets power generated from 12 hydro projects operated by the Army Corps of Engineers and 2 projects operated by the Bureau of Reclamation. This programmatic review was initiated in response to demands by Indian tribes and fish and wildlife agencies for consultation on matters involving system planning and operations; another factor was the recent designation of the Snake River sockeye salmon as an endangered species and the chinook salmon as a threatened species. Seven operational alternatives are considered in this draft EIS in response to the salmon stocks issue: (1) operations prior to the Endangered Species Act designation; (2) current system operations, including efforts to provide additional anadromous fish flows; (3) flow augmentation to improve the chances of fish survival; (4) management of water levels at upstream storage projects to keep the reservoirs as full as possible for as long as possible; (5) drawdown of the reservoirs at the four projects on the lower Snake River to near ""natural river'' elevations in order to increase the velocity of water through the reservoir; (6) a less extensive drawdown of the reservoirs along the lower Snake River; and (7) setting fish flow targets based on storage content and other factors. Seven alternative methods of broadening public involvement in major decisions are also considered. Additional issues examined in this draft EIS are the need to renew or change current Canadian Entitlement Allocation Agreements, and to renegotiate and renew the Pacific Northwest Coordination Agreement. POSITIVE IMPACTS: This programmatic review is an effort to develop comprehensive, multipurpose management of the Columbia River System, a management method that would be responsive to public concerns as well as to the demands for energy production and natural resources protection. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Introducing flow improvements to benefit migrating anadromous fish would diminish the effectiveness of the system for traditional river uses. Flow augmentation measures would require storing water in the winter, a time when it would ordinarily be used to generate electricity. A loss in power- generating efficiency would increase the costs of meeting electrical demand. Keeping upstream storage sites as full as possible would detract from downstream sites, which are popular with recreationists. Reservoir drawdowns would have adverse impacts on resident fish, disrupting their habitat, spawning, and food supply; drawdowns would also reduce the amount of water available for irrigation.

This popularity is partly due to the ability of the gates to handle flow surges with limited depth changes and the ease with which operators can understand the hydraulic behavior of the gates. While water level control is useful, operators also need to know the flow rate at each gate to better operate the system. While existing theories provide some background for the overshot gate hydraulics, this study focused on information specific to inclined weirs. Equations derived from this study can be used to accurately determine flow rate in the field of a properly ventilated free-flow leaf gate to within 6.4 percent. Additional equations are provided to predict the discharge of a submerged overshot gate with an accuracy of roughly 10 percent. JF - Flow Measurement Using an Overshot Gate. p. 45. Aug 1994.

AN - 36404434; 4658 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a new hydroelectric project with an estimated installed capacity of 150 megawatts for the Clavey River near Sonora in Tuolumne County, California, is proposed. The project area is a relatively undeveloped watershed in the central Sierra Nevada foothills and yellow pine belt transition zone extending west into the Central Valley of California. Generation facilities would be located on lands managed by the Forest Service (FS), and the transmission line would extend across private property and lands managed by the FS and the Bureau of Land Management. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (license denial), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the project would consist of a roller-compacted concrete dam 1,765 feet long and 413 feet high, creating a 114,000 acre-feet reservoir; two diversion structures, ten feet high, on Hull and Reed Creeks; a drop inlet structure on Bera Creek with 6,220 feet of pipeline to convey water to the reservoir; a pressurized underground tunnel, 58,432 feet long and 12 feet in diameter; an underground powerhouse containing two turbine generating units; a horseshoe-shaped tailrace tunnel from the powerhouse to the reregulation reservoir; a concrete gravity dam, 105 feet high and 350 feet long, creating a reregulating reservoir occupying 13 acres; a powerhouse access tunnel containing three 230-kilovolt power cables; a 1.5-acre outdoor switchyard; a 230-kilovolt overhead transmission line, 50.8 miles long; 6 miles of new access road and 27 miles of widened or surfaced existing roadway; two tunnel waste disposal sites occupying 46 acres; and various fish and wildlife mitigation features and public outdoor recreation facilities. The project would be constructed by the Turlock Irrigation District and Tuolumne County. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would have a beneficial economic impact on the local area, reducing unemployment and increasing personal income. It would also help to meet power demand in a region whose population is expected to grow 1.5 percent annually. The project would lessen regional reliance on oil and natural gas consumption. It would generate power equivalent to either 618,800 barrels of oil or 3,766 million cubic feet of natural gas annually. Improved access to the river and the development of the reservoir would increase recreational uses. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would temporarily increase emissions of particulates and ozone precursors in a nonattainment area. The project would result in the introduction of non-native fish and invertebrates to the Clavey River, conflicting with the river's designation as a Wild Trout Stream. Fish upstream movements would be blocked and fish habitat unavoidably altered by dam construction. Filling the storage reservoir would displace 600 acres of mature Sierran mixed conifer forest and result in the loss of a sensitive species of plant known as mountain lady's slipper. The spotted owl, pileated woodpecker, and other endangered species would be displaced.

AN - 36402278; 4745 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Hanford Reach of the Columbia River in the southeastern portion of Washington is proposed. The Hanford Reach is the last free-flowing stretch of the Columbia River in the U.S.; the Hanford Reach Study was begun in 1988 in response to public concern about a proposal to dredge portions of the segment to allow barge navigation through the Hanford Reach. The study area extends from one mile below Priest Rapids Dam (river mile 396) downstream approximately 51 miles to the McNary Pool north of Richland (river mile 345). Issues identified during scoping include the effects of river development on the fall chinook salmon and its spawning and rearing habitat, and on over 100 archaeological and historic sites found within the study area; the future of the B reactor and other defunct reactors at the Hanford site, and their effects on water quality; the conservation of wildlife habitat integrity and diversity; and Indian access to the Hanford Reach. The plan would combine a Wild and Scenic River designation for the river and its immediate corridor with a National Wildlife Refuge designation for upland areas north and east of the river. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the Department of Energy (DOE) would co-manage the area. The DOE would be responsible for radioactive cleanup of the Hanford site, cultural resource management, and some patrol functions, while the FWS would be responsible for all other management duties. Some recreational opportunities would be expanded. Damming and major dredging would be prohibited. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative B), are considered in this final EIS. Under one of the action alternatives (Alternative C), special designation for the area would not be sought, but legislation that would permanently preclude the damming and dredging of the Hanford Reach would be promoted. Under another of the action alternatives (Alternative D), the area would be designated as a National Conservation Area. While under the third action alternative (Alternative E), the Columbia River would be designated as a National River. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would ensure that aquatic conditions necessary for fall chinook salmon and other important species were present. The restoration and protection of terrestrial habitat would stabilize wildlife populations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Grazing would be prohibited on 24,000 acres of public lands primarily as a means of protecting water quality; the restriction would impact area farmers. In addition, future uses of private lands within designated areas would be restricted to uses compatible with resource protection. The Hanford site cleanup would increase sediments in the river, while upland agricultural development would result in fertilizer and pesticide runoff.

AN - 36403886; 4662 AB - PURPOSE: The leasing and development of oil and gas for the Custer National Forest in Montana are proposed. Under the 1986 plan for the national forest, all lands in the Custer National Forest are available for oil and gas leasing. Key issues include impacts on inventoried roadless areas and other special interest areas, biodiversity, a research study of bighorn sheep in the Moody Plateau area, recreational opportunities and visual resources, and the local economy. Three land availability alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative D-2), all but 1,810 acres would be administratively available for leasing; the Limber Pine Research Natural Area would be excluded, as would the Pretty Butte and Black Butte Special Interest Areas and the Amidon Administrative Site. In all, 43,470 acres with high potential would be available and so would 146,970 acres with moderate potential. Under the proposed action (Alternative E-3), all available National Forest Service lands would be leased as in the current forest plan with the exception of the lands needed to protect the ferruginous hawk, prairie falcon, golden eagle, and grouse. The Limber Pine research natural area and all candidate Special Interest Areas would be leased with no-surface-occupancy (NSO) stipulations. All prairie dog towns and riparian areas would carry NSO stipulations as well. All known sites for sensitive plants and watch plant species would be available under a controlled-surface-occupancy stipulation. Six leasing alternatives are also considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative E-6), a greater level of protection for roadless areas and bighorn sheep would be provided than is currently provided under the forest plan. Most roadless areas would be leased with NSO stipulations, except for specific existing roads within the Kinley Plateau and Bullion Butte areas, where surface disturbances could occur within 600 feet of the centerline of the road. In addition, the Limber Pine area and all candidate special interest areas would be leased NSO, and NSO stipulations would apply to prairie dog towns being considered by the Fish and Wildlife Service for black footed ferret introduction. All new leases would be issued with stipulations to protect sensitive plant and animal species. Drill pads would not be permitted within riparian areas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Accruals to the U.S. Treasury would include revenues from lease bonus bids, annual lease rentals, and timber sales in areas where timber would be cleared for roads or well pads. Construction and drilling activities would provide temporary employment opportunities for the local work force. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, some 35 miles of road would be constructed, and 58 miles would be reconstructed. Possible adverse effects to the roadless nature of the Bullion Butte area would occur if protection against drainage of federal minerals from oil and gas development on private lands were needed. Under the preferred alternative, 30 miles of new roads would be constructed and 55 miles of road would be reconstructed in order to access 96 well locations. Roughly 880 acres of the Bullion Butte and 80 acres in the Kinley Plateau areas would be subject to controlled surface use leasing. Up to seven federal wells would be drilled in canyonlands.

AN - 36395567; 4663 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a geothermal wellfield, and the construction and operation of a 33-megawatt (MW) (gross output) geothermal power plant, by CE Exploration Company on federal land administered by the Deschutes National Forest in Deschutes County, Oregon, is proposed. The project would be located on the west flank of Newberry Volcano, on undeveloped federal land used primarily for timber production. The exact boundaries and distribution of the underground geothermal resources are not known; however, exploration has indicated that a considerable resource could exist below the surface. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative C), are considered in this final EIS. Under the two action alternatives, implementation would involve the construction and operation of a power plant, wells, and supporting facilities. The exploration phase of the project would involve constructing access roads, upgrading existing roads, and drilling and testing different types of wells on a total of 14 approximately six-acre well pads. The power plant, pipelines from the wells to the power plant, access roads, an eight-mile transmission line, and a switchyard would be constructed if the drilling program were successful. The switchyard would be located west of Highway 97 on lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management. The power plant would use flash technology with a condensing steam turbine and a wet cooling tower. After the water had been cooled, it would be injected in the geothermal reservoir at locations that would help to recharge the resource. The facility would be decommissioned at the end of its commercial life, expected to be 50 years or more. The action alternatives differ from one another in regard to the number of well and power plant sites considered, and the location of the transmission line route. The preferred route would be located 400 to 500 feet south of Route 9735; the cleared corridor would be 75 feet wide and have a feathered edge of an additional 25 feet on each side. The transmission line would use a single-pole structure with a lower-voltage underbuild. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The construction and operation of the power facility as a pilot project would demonstrate whether or not geothermal energy is a feasible alternative source of energy in the Pacific Northwest. The geothermal energy produced would constitute a clean, domestic source of power. In addition to being a pollution-free source of power, geothermal resources would provide a means of reducing the nation's dependence on foreign sources of energy. The project would provide 25 permanent jobs and local revenue from royalties and property taxes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would bring industrial development to an area of Forest Service land currently used for forestry, fuelwood gathering, and dispersed recreation. It would also disturb the wilderness character of the North Paulina roadless area. Approximately 295 acres of wildlife habitat would be lost or modified as a result of planned construction.

AN - 15223465; 4602 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a freeway, including a bridge crossing the Missouri River, within Saint Charles and Saint Louis counties, Missouri, is proposed. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS; the two build alternatives each have three subalternatives. Under the proposed action, Page Avenue (Route D) would extend from its present terminus at Bennington Place, immediately west of Interstate 270 (I-270) in Saint Louis County; proceed across the Missouri River to Route 94 in Saint Charles County; and then continue on to either I-70 or Route 40/61 (the future I-64), a distance of 14.4 to 20.95 miles. Under the preferred alternative (the Red Alignment), the facility would be a ten-lane, limited-access highway with a 26-foot-wide median from Bennington Place to Route 94. As part of the Red Alignment, from Hamsath Road to Route N, Route 94 would become an eight- to ten-lane, limited-access highway with a 26-foot-wide median. One-way outer roads would be provided as service roads along this segment. From Route 94 to Route 40/61, the Red Alignment would be a four-lane, limited-access highway with a 70-foot-wide median. Grade separations for Bennington Place would be constructed over the Page Avenue Extension and the west half of a diamond interchange. Grade separations would also be provided at Amiot Drive and Seven Pines Drive, the River Valley Road, Route 94, Motherhead Road, and Henke Road. The bridge over the Missouri River would extend 3,550 feet and consist of ten 12-foot travel lanes, four ten-foot shoulders, and a three-foot-wide median barrier. A bridge approximately 2,800 feet long would span Creve Coeur Lake, Creve Coeur Creek, and associated wooded bottomland. The alignment would also cross the southern portion of the Creve Coeur Lake Memorial Park. This draft supplement to the final EIS of November 1992 considers the environmental effects of converting 184 acres of heavily-wooded parkland to highway use, and considers four alternative tracts of land to be offered as replacement property. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The chronic traffic congestion at the Missouri River crossings between Saint Charles and Saint Louis counties would be relieved, and concurrent reductions in energy costs and improvement of air quality would be effected. Additional benefits would be improved traffic-flow conditions within Saint Charles and Saint Louis counties on secondary roads and on Route 40/61, and I-70 and I-270. The development would continue to occur throughout Saint Charles County; on the alignments, induced development would take place at interchanges and along outer roads. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The public parkland would be adversely altered by the highway construction. The rights-of-way requirements under the preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 190.3 acres of prime farmland; the relocation of 54 residences and 17 commercial establishments; the traversal of 397.9 acres of the Missouri River floodplain, and the associated loss of 52.9 acres of emergent and wooded wetlands; and the removal of public parkland. Land-use impacts would total 1,926.1 acres.

Preparation date: June 30, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CALIENTE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN; KERN, TULARE, KINGS, SAN LUIS OBISPO, SANTA BARBARA, AND VENTURA COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA. AN - 15223654; 4573 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for the Caliente Resource Area in Kern, Tulare, Kings, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties in central California is proposed. The resource area (570,000 acres of public land and 939,000 acres of federal mineral estate) is subdivided into three distinct management areas: the Coastal, Valley, and Southern Sierra management areas, each with distinct resource values. Public lands are scattered across the resource area in numerous small parcels. Focal issues identified during the scoping process and addressed in this draft EIS include land acquisition and disposal, access to federal lands, livestock grazing, and oil and gas leasing and development. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 5), implementation would involve the maintenance and designation of 19 areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs), containing 219,300 acres; the disposal of 55,000 acres of public land, while acquiring replacement lands with high resource values, including lands with ACECs, wilderness areas, and populations of endangered or threatened species; the improved public access to selected remote tracts; the development of campgrounds, backcountry byways, mountain opportunities, and other recreational facilities; and the designation of 452,780 acres for livestock grazing, 339,000 acres of geothermal leasing, 796,000 acres for hard minerals leasing, and 340,000 acres for oil and gas leasing. Approximately 554,000 additional acres would be open to oil and gas leasing under various levels of constraints, and 44,000 acres would be closed to leasing. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, implementation would replace and consolidate two management plans and bring management policy into compliance with recent court decisions and regulations. Small, isolated tracts of public lands would be disposed, and access to lands with high resource values would be improved. Most lands with high and moderate oil and gas development potential would be available for exploration and development under standard lease terms. Large tracts of scenic areas would be preserved and protected, and habitat would be protected and/or provided for a variety of wildlife and fish. Significant visual, cultural, recreational, and geological resources would be protected or enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Planned disposal of public lands could adversely affect the California condor and other endangered species. Mining, oil and gas development, and other exploitative land uses would adversely affect vegetation and associated wildlife habitat (including some federally listed species), streams and associated fishery habitat, soils, and air and water quality within the resource areas. Livestock forage would be reduced by roughly by 20 percent, and costs of grazing livestock would increase in the Valley Management Area.

AN - 36408215; 4575 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for development and visitor use of Bent's Old Fort Historic Site in Otero County, Colorado, is proposed. The site, which occupies approximately 800 acres in southeastern Colorado, is located along the Mountain Route of the Santa Fe Trail; it served as an important trading post for trappers and travelers from the 1850s to the 1870s. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the scope of the interpretive program would be expanded in order to emphasize the fort's historic importance and its role in U.S. westward expansion and relations with Mexicans and Indians. A visitor center would be constructed near the park entrance in order to facilitate the interpretation, and parking and picnic facilities would be expanded; administrative offices would be moved from the fort to the visitor center. The native prairie throughout the park would be restored, and any exotic vegetation removed. A cultural landscape report would be completed to determine the landscape's significance and potential eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. A 40-acre parcel of land now in private ownership would be acquired. Under the other action alternative, an interpretive media would be added but not a visitor center. The estimated cost of implementing the proposed action is $6.3 million. The final EIS, which is issued in abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the final EIS as well as public comment and agency responses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, visitor understanding and appreciation of the fort's historic significance would be enhanced. Restoration of native vegetation would create a more healthy ecosystem and provide cover and feed for prairie dogs and other species. Developed land would be reduced from 13 percent to 1 percent of total park area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Park operations would be temporarily disrupted by construction and relocation activities.

Preparation date: June 23, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BEAVERHEAD NATIONAL FOREST OIL AND GAS LEASING; BEAVERHEAD, MADISON, SILVER, BOW, DEER LODGE, AND GALLATIN COUNTIES, MONTANA. AN - 36410106; 4558 AB - PURPOSE: The leasing and development of oil and gas in the Beaverhead National Forest in Montana is proposed. Under the 1986 plan for the forest, some 1.64 million acres are available for oil and gas leasing; existing and proposed wilderness, certain planning areas, wilderness study areas, and stream segments eligible for wild status under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act within the Beaverhead National Forest and 19,700 acres of the Deerlodge National Forest would be unavailable for leasing. Focal issues addressed include the effects on water, soil, wildlife, roadless areas, recreation, and aesthetic resources. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 3), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, a 500-foot, no-surface-occupancy (NSO) buffer would be implemented on all lakes, roads, and perennial streams, and a 200-foot NSO buffer would be implemented for trails. Under this alternative only, the NSO stipulation would allow the construction of linear features such as roads, pipelines, and power lines. Some 502,200 acres of land would be administratively unavailable; 783,100 acres would be available under standard lease terms; 177,100 acres would be available under a controlled-surface-use (CSU) or timing limitation; and 677,200 acres would be available with a NSO stipulation. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 5), national forest lands would be identified as being available for lease authorization; lands made available would be subject to supplemental lease stipulations designed to assure protection of surface resources. Stipulations would be applied to reduce the amount of land available under standard lease terms. The availability of lands for leasing would be as follows: 9,000 acres would be administratively unavailable; 502,200 acres would be legally unavailable; 889,900 acres would be available under standard lease terms; 531,700 acres would be available under a CSU or timing limitation; and 215,800 acres would be available with a NSO stipulation. Timing limitations would be imposed on habitat areas for elk, moose, goshawks, and other species; a NSO stipulations would apply to a 0.5-mile radius around bald eagle and peregrine falcon nesting areas. CSU stipulations would apply to dispersed recreation areas and slopes steeper than 65 percent. Approximately 20 miles of new roads would be constructed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Accruals to the U.S. Treasury would include revenues from lease bonus bids, annual lease rentals, and timber sales in areas where timber would be cleared for roads or well pads. Construction and drilling activities would provide temporary employment opportunities for the local work force. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, approximately 16,965 wilderness acres would be removed from roadless area designation. Air pollutant emissions from gas-driven field engines and emergency gas flaring could be significant in the area. Soils, vegetation, and wildlife and livestock forage in the immediate drilling areas would be disturbed. Riparian areas and wetlands would be adversely affected by increased sediment loads and potential contaminant spills.

Preparation date: June 20, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MIDDLE FORK ECOSYSTEM MANAGEMENT PROJECT, FLATHEAD NATIONAL FOREST, FLATHEAD COUNTY, MONTANA. AN - 36414449; 4583 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for the Middle Fork of the Flathead River in the Flathead National Forest in Flathead County, Montana, is proposed. The project area includes approximately 22,430 acres characterized by coniferous forests that are densely stocked at elevations below 5,000 feet. The proposed action would take place in the North Fork Dickey Creek, Paola Creek, and Tunnel Creek drainage basins. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, activities would include forage enhancement and whitebark pine regeneration through the prescribed burning of 382 acres of natural openings; stream blockage removal, and bank, spawning gravel, and other fish habitat improvements; and the harvesting of approximately 6.1 million board feet (MMBF) of timber on approximately 500 acres, with subsequent reforestation. For access to the timber, up to 1.3 miles of new road and 0.1 mile of temporary road would be constructed, and approximately 3.9 miles of existing roads would be restored. Under all of the action alternatives, a minimum of 3,653 acres of old-growth habitat would be retained; soil, vegetation, wildlife, fisheries, and water quality would be monitored; and road construction and maintenance would occur in order to ensure compliance with specifications. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative C Modified), some 5.4 MMBF of timber would be harvested from approximately 634 acres, with all but 96 acres being harvested using a helicopter yarding system in order to minimize road construction. This alternative was developed following the issuance of the draft EIS; it is similar to Alternative C as described in the draft EIS except that several harvest units would be excluded from harvesting and the road management strategy would be modified to protect the Paola Creek area, a quality spring habitat for grizzly bear. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The harvesting would contribute to the suppression of insects and disease; contribute to the short-term supply of timber and provide for sustained long-term yields; maintain visual quality and recreational viability; and maintain biological diversity by enhancing linkages to the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex and Glacier National Park. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Road construction, timber harvesting, and tractor log yarding would result in habitat degradation and erosion, and helicopter yarding would cause some soil windfall. Approximately 15 acres inventoried roadless areas would be adversely affected by road construction under the preferred alternative.

AN - 36394818; 4569 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan for managing the exotic burro population within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Clark County, Nevada, and Mohave County, Arizona, is proposed. The recreation area, the third largest area in the National Park System outside of Alaska, encompasses 1.3 million acres of land and 200,000 acres of water. The area's burro population was first documented in 1936; today's population, which is estimated at 1,600, inhabits nearly half of the acreage in the recreation area. The burros are prospering at the expense of the area's native fauna and biotic communities, habitat that the Park Service is obligated to protect. During the 1979-1992 period, the National Park Service (NPS) in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) removed more than 1,800 burros from the recreation area. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative B), burro populations would be eliminated from specific portions of the recreation area, while their populations would be managed to NPS prescriptions in other portions. Burros would not be allowed in areas with endangered, threatened, sensitive, or unique resources; in critical habitat areas for desert tortoises; in areas where burros would be a threat to public safety; and in areas that have historically been burro-free. Control methods would include fencing, sterilization or birth control, and live removal, often involving the use of helicopters. The shooting of burros would not be permitted under the proposed action, although dart guns utilizing tranquilizers could be used in the future. The NPS would work with BLM to set population targets for those areas designated for burro use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the area's critical resources would be protected from any additional damage from burros. The reduction in the burro population over time would increase plant cover, improve vegetative diversity, and lessen the amount of soil lost to erosion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Adverse effects on vegetation would continue in areas where burros are allowed to remain. The new fencing would impede the movement of other wildlife and detract from the scenic beauty of the area. LEGAL MANDATES: National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (PL Chapter 408, 39 Stat 535).

AN - 36403804; 4590 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for livestock grazing and prairie dog control on the Rosebud and Cheyenne River Sioux reservations within central South Dakota. Livestock production is the primary industry and income source for individual Indian landowners and tribes on both reservations. Since the early 1900s, federal and state agencies have funded programs to control and eradicate prairie dogs, which compete with livestock for forage and create economic hardships for ranchers. However, the use of poisons as a control method has threatened the survival of the black-footed ferret, which preys on the prairie dog. Four alternatives for the management of the Rosebud Sioux Reservation and six alternatives for the management of the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation, including No Action Alternatives (Alternative 1A and 1B, respectively), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative for the Cheyenne Reservation (Alternative 2B), range improvements, including 903 dams, 75 water wells, and 682.5 miles of fencing would be developed. Surveys and studies of endangered and threatened species in the area would be performed. Landowners would be compensated in order to maintain prairie dog towns for black-footed ferret reintroduction and maintenance of the prairie ecosystem. Limited chemical control of prairie dogs would be conducted. Under the preferred alternative for the Rosebud Reservation (Alternative 2A), some 45,000 acres of prairie dog towns would be controlled by chemical methods with a goal of at least 90 percent control. Follow up chemical control and increased levels of grazing management would occur on areas obtaining at least 90 percent control. Areas with less than 90 percent control would be retreated on the third and fifth years after initial treatment. If chemical treatment were still unsuccessful after the fifth year, it would be discontinued on that area and grazing management alone would be implemented. Under this alternative, implementation would also include the implementation of grazing, resource management activities, and the replanting of native grasses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the two preferred alternatives, efforts would be made to improve the livestock production capacity of reservation lands, while preserving up to 12,000 acres of prairie dog and black-footed ferret habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under Alternative 2A, ecosystem instability would make the range susceptible to stresses which would inhibit it from producing sustainable quality forage over the long term.

AN - 36393321; 4567 AB - PURPOSE: The authorization of Owens Lake Soda Ash Company (OLSAC) to construct and operate a trona mining and soda ash production facility on the west shore of Owens Lake in Inyo County, California, is proposed. Soda ash is an important industrial commodity in high demand as a raw material for the production of glass, chemicals, and detergents. The project would consist of a surface mining operation located on the dry lakebed surface and the processing plant located on the west shore of the lake. The trona ore deposit is found on the surface of the lakebed and covers approximately 16,120 acres. The deposit would be mined using an electric-powered bucketwheel dredge. Dredging operations would be to a depth of nine feet or less. The dredged slurry would be pumped from the lakebed through a pipeline to the storage pond on the lakebed near the plant site. It would then be pumped to the plant site for processing. Soda ash would be produced using a monohydrate process. The process would involve beneficiating naturally occurring sodium sesquicarbonate (trona), then calcinating it to form raw soda ash. Initial soda ash production would be approximately 500,000 tons per year (tpy) and could be expanded to 600,000 tpy. As part of the project, OLSAC would rehabilitate a 72.4-mile portion of the existing out-of-service Southern Pacific Transportation Company rail line that extends from the plant site to Searles Junction in Kern County. The rail line would be used to transport roughly 80 percent of the soda ash product from the plant; the remainder would be shipped by truck. Water for the processing plant would be pumped from OLSAC's existing production well at the Cottonwood well site via a buried pipeline that would be installed within an access road that runs parallel to the rail line. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the project, trona mining and soda ash production would help to meet demand for purified soda ash in the domestic and international markets, contribute to population growth in the Owens Valley area, and provide roughly 90 new jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Particulate emissions from the project site during the construction and reclamation phase would exceed state and federal air quality standards. The processing plant, associated facilities, and the steam plume from the plant stack would contrast with the visual character of the project area as seen from US 395. Groundwater pumping from the Cottonwood site could potentially deplete a nearby wetland area. Construction activities along the rail corridor could adversely affect additional wetlands, the desert tortoise, the Mohave ground squirrel, and the snowy plover.

Preparation date: June 9, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WEIR FARM NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE, WILTON AND RIDGEFIELD, FAIRFIELD COUNTY, CONNECTICUT. AN - 36410071; 4576 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Weir Farm National Historic Site in the towns of Ridgefield and Wilton, in Connecticut, is proposed. The 57-acre site is located approximately 45 miles from New York City and 25 miles from Long Island Sound. It preserves and interprets historically significant properties and landscapes associated with the life and work of J. Alden Weir (1852-1919), one of the founders of the Impressionist tradition in American painting. The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection purchased the site in 1988 and donated it to the National Park Service in 1992. It is one of only two sites in the national park system that focuses primarily on art. Three alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 1), connections between the historic property and the art it inspired would be established. Every effort would be made to present the farm's buildings and landscape as they appeared when Weir was alive. An artist-in-residence program would be maintained under this alternative. Housing would be provided in the Burlington house and studio space located in the rehabilitated and expanded caretaker's garage/barn. An administrative facility, a visitor center, and a parking lot would be developed at off-site locations in order to preserve the historic character of the site. A portion of the main barn would be furnished to interpret farming practices. Lectures, art classes, and school programs would be accommodated in the Burlingham barn. The estimated development cost under Alternative 1 is $10.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, a site with historic significance in American art would enhanced and preserved. Interpretive media would stress the connection between Weir's paintings and the visible landscape. Increased visitation would have a stimulative effect on the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Traffic on Nod Hill Road would increase by roughly 5 percent as a result of the increase in visitation.

Bureau of Land Management, Wyoming State Office, Rock Springs, WY, United States N1 - Last updated - 2012-06-07 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTHEAST REGIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENTS AND GEYSERS EFFLUENT PIPELINE PROJECT, LAKE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36410327; 4621 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the Southeast Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant located north of the city of Clearlake, California, is proposed. The improvement is mandated by a cease and desist order issued by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board that prohibits any hook-ups that would exceed plant treatment capacity. Furthermore, local regulations prohibit the plant from discharging treated effluent into a nearby creek and into Clear Lake. At present, effluent is directed into a 561-acre-foot reservoir adjacent to the plant; from there it is sprinkle-irrigated on 244 acres of range land during dry periods. This irrigation system would be incapable of disposing of all the effluent if the systems capacity were increased. The construction of a 26-mile, 24-inch pipeline from the plant to The Geysers, where the effluent would be injected into the steam field in order to produce steam needed for power generation, is also proposed. Since 1987, steam production at this facility has declined because of the loss of steam pressure in the reservoir rock. The wastewater effluent would be a new source of water to compensate for this decline; the pipeline would be capable of delivering 5,400 gallons per minute to the geothermal facility. The pipeline would run south through the city of Clearlake and community of Lower Lake, south to Middletown, to the Southeast Geysers steamfield. Pipeline-related facilities would include six turbine pumps at the wastewater treatment plant that would pump the effluent to a 620,000-gallon steel tank located on a site below Childers Peak; additional pumps and pipeline at the Middletown treatment plant; up to five pump stations at Bear Canyon to lift the effluent from 1,470 feet above sea level to The Geysers, which is 3,330 feet above sea level; and a 100,000-gallon storage tank at The Geysers. Additional pipelines would be constructed at The Geysers in order to carry the effluent as injection fluid to 15 existing and 7 future well heads, where injection into the steam field would occur. Intake facilities, pumps, and a pipeline would be constructed at Clear Lake so that lake water could be merged with the effluent. Eight alternative routes for the main pipeline are under consideration. A No Action Alternative is also considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the treatment capacity of the wastewater plant serving the city of Clearlake and unincorporated adjacent areas would be increased, and the facility would be brought into compliance with state and local regulations. The diversion of effluent to The Geysers would allow the facility to increase its production of geothermal energy by 184 million kWh. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would result in increased erosion and increased silt deposition in stream channels. Construction of the lake diversion intake would substantially increase turbidity. Pipeline construction would result in habitat losses for the California red-legged frog, bald eagles, and other species. Workers could be exposed to asbestos fibers, mercury, and other heavy metals while excavating serpentine rock. Some potential for groundwater contamination would exist as a result of leakage from the reservoir, storage tanks, or pipeline.

AN - 36408392; 4591 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Gauley River National Recreation Area in central West Virginia is proposed. The area encompasses a 25-mile section of the Gauley River and a 5.5-mile section of the Meadow River in Nicholas and Fayette counties. The recreation area was established by Congress in 1988 in order to provide the public with opportunities for whitewater boating, picnicking, camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, trapping, and sightseeing, while protecting a large natural area. Located outside the boundary of the recreation area, but immediately adjacent to it, is Summersville Dam, built across the Gauley River near Battle Run and McKee Creek as part of a comprehensive flood control plan for the Ohio River basin. Completed in 1966, the dam and lake provide flood control, low-flow augmentation to the river system, recreation, and a local water supply. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative B), emphasis would be placed on resource-based interpretive programs and the Park Service would collaborate with appropriate state agencies to enhance the interpretation of and access to the adjacent Carnifex Ferry Battlefield State Park. An approximately 10,000-square-foot visitor center, to be located near the dam, would serve as the primary interpretive facility for the recreation area. Interpretive media (primarily waysides and bulletin cases), which would be located below the dam, would interpret the structure and provide safety instruction. Wayside exhibits would also be placed at scenic view points, key trailheads, and several historical sites. Trails through scenic areas would be improved and new ones would be created for guided and self-guided hikes as well as fishing access. A picnic/day-use area, in conjunction with a scenic overlook, would be developed in the middle area of the river, near Panther Mountain Road. Additional enhancements would include new parking and camping areas, minor road improvements, and the development of new river access points. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the semi-primitive and scenic quality of the area for backpackers, whitewater boaters, campers, and sportsmen would be protected. A system of land- and water-based recreational opportunities would be developed in order to allow visitors to experience the area's resources and primitive nature to the extent that natural and cultural values were not impaired. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activity located near the river would degrade water quality by increasing erosion and sediment delivery to the river. Up to 17 acres of second-growth forest would be cleared for construction. Much of the planned construction would occur within the 100-year floodplain.

AN - 36403580; 4577 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Haleakala National Park on the eastern portion of the island of Maui, Hawaii, is proposed. The park consists of 27,000 acres of extremely varied terrain, including a volcano in the later stage of development, nearly impenetrable rain forests, and open grasslands. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and a Minimum Requirements Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, implementation would re-establish and perpetuate the mosaic of ecosystems that would have evolved without human interference; protect and restore native biota by controlling non-native plants and animals; improve the quality of the visitor's experience; identify and protect cultural sites and remains; help sustain the traditional Hawaiian lifestyle of East Maui; and expand park boundaries to include adjacent lands with significant resource value or necessary for visitor access. Approximately 8,188 acres would be added to the park under the proposed action. The major acquisition would be 6,600 acres of land owned by Kaupo Ranch. This acquisition would allow the Park Service to connect the Kaupo Gap portion of the park with the coast highway and with segments of the pristine and scenic shoreline; it would also incorporate most of the Kaupo Trail within park boundaries. Additional acquisitions would include 613 acres along the west side of Haleakala Crater; 229 acres on the southwest of the lower Kipahulu Valley; 110 acres of forested land in the historically significant Hosmer Grove, and a short section of the Halemauu Trail; and three separate tracts of 51 acres, 404 acres, and 181 acres proposed for acquisition previously but never acquired. The visitor center and park headquarters would be rehabilitated and additional facilities would be constructed at a cost of approximately $7.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, park resources would be protected, additional resources (including two endangered bird species) would be brought under national park protection, opportunities for public employment would be provided, and visitor safety and access would be improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Developments of the Ohe'o area would disturb approximately 20 acres. LEGAL MANDATES: Act of June 20, 1938 and Public Law 94-578.

AN - 36415718; 4584 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for 3.7 million acres of public lands in Clark and Nye counties, in southern Nevada, is proposed. The planning area is known as the Stateline Resource Area within the Bureau of Land Management's Las Vegas district. Focal issues identified during the scoping process include the effects on land tenure; desert tortoise habitat; mineral development; off-highway-vehicle (OHV) use; special management areas and areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs); and utility corridors. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in the draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative D), plan objectives would allow for the multiple use of the public lands, permit maximum flexibility in the disposal of lands, and provide for the protection and recovery of the desert tortoise. Under the preferred plan, the development of habitat management plan for the desert tortoise in six ACECs would be required, and similar protection for bighorn sheep would be provided. In all, some 970,160 acres would be set aside as ACECs for the desert tortoise. OHV use and livestock grazing would be restricted within designated ACECs. Approximately 1,200 acres would be set aside for mesquite cutting, and 138,000 acres of pinyon-juniper and conifer forest would be maintained at late seral stage. Competitive OHV events would be eliminated on roughly 1.1 million acres. Approximately 540,171 acres would be available for disposal through sale or other form of conveyance; all other lands except those set aside for special protection would be available for exchange. Approximately 536 miles of utility corridors would be established within the planning area. Fluid mineral leasing would not be allowed on 216,746 acres, locatable mineral activity would not be allowed on 632,065 acres, and saleable mineral disposal would not be allowed on 606,538 acres. A draft supplement, issued as a companion document to this draft EIS, considers a sixth alternative (Alternative E), under which greater emphasis would be placed on the maintenance of biodiversity and the protection of the desert tortoise. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, implementation would attempt to preserve natural resources and ecological values while allowing economic development. Some visual, cultural, recreational, and geological resources would be protected or enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Significant amounts of sediment from critical condition and highly susceptible soils would be delivered to stream channels as a result of livestock grazing, minerals management, and recreation activities. Concentration of grazing on 40 acres of riparian area would significantly degrade those areas. Permitted mineral activity and utility corridors would adversely affect desert tortoise habitat.

Preparation date: May 11, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CRESTON/BLUE GAP NATURAL GAS PROJECT, CARBON AND SWEETWATER COUNTIES, WYOMING. AN - 36393234; 4562 AB - PURPOSE: The development of natural gas resources in southwestern Carbon County and southeastern Sweetwater County in Wyoming is proposed. The project area encompasses approximately 207,746 acres on a site roughly 35 miles west Rawlins, Wyoming; roughly 145,000 acres of the affected land is federally owned and managed, and the remainder is private and state land. The area is a continental, semi-arid, cold desert that lies within portions of the Washakie and Great Divide basins. It currently supports 239 well locations. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, development would involve the drilling, completion, testing, operation, abandonment, and reclamation of a natural gas operation by Snyder Oil Corporation, Amoco Production Company, Union Pacific Resources Company, Ensign Oil and Gas New Mexico, Inc., and other operators. Up to 275 new gas wells would be permitted to be drilled within the project area on 160-acre spacing patterns within and adjacent to existing natural gas units. Gas from the project would be transported through existing and newly developed pipelines linking the area with existing interstate pipelines north of the area. Full field development would require several years, with approximately 55 to 110 wells being drilled per year during the 1994-1997 period. Each drill rig would be operated on a 24-hour basis and require three crews of five people. Production operations would last from 30 to 50 years. Areas disturbed during drilling that are not required for production would be reclaimed as soon as is practical. After gas reserves have been depleted, wells would be plugged and abandoned, using procedures designed to protect subsurface aquifers. Under Alternative 1, the development of 200 new wells would be permitted. Under Alternative 2, the development of 330 new wells would be permitted. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, some 178 billion cubic feet of natural gas would be produced, which in turn would provide $72.8 million in state and local taxes and $47.76 million in federal royalty payments. Development would benefit the local economy and help to lessen reliance on foreign energy supplies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, up to 625 acres would be initially disturbed from well locations, along with 348 acres from pipelines, 267 acres from roads, and 8 acres from ancillary facilities. Drilling activities would have moderate impacts on air quality, soils, noise, wildlife, recreation, and visual resources, and would totally deplete the natural gas reserves in the Mesaverde Group. Removal of ground cover would destabilize sand dunes in the project area.

Preparation date: May 11, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RANGELAND REFORM '94. AN - 36394877; 4566 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management program for the rangeland administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Forest Service (FS) is proposed. These two agencies are responsible for managing 270 million acres of federal rangeland in the western states. Under the program, many elements of the agencies' current rangeland policies and practices would be changed in order to protect ecological values while providing for sustainable development. BLM would establish national requirements for managing rangeland ecosystems on its lands; the FS would continue to formulate guidelines as it prepares area-specific forest plans. The FS would not allow leasing on its lands while BLM would allow base property and pasture leases. A 20 percent surcharge would be applied to base property leases, a 50 percent surcharge would be applied to pasture leases, and a 70 percent surcharge would be applied if both were involved. Grazing permits would generally be issued for ten-year periods; permits could be canceled or suspended if the holder violated any laws or regulations on pest or animal damage control, conservation, or environmental quality on public lands. Currently, BLM must annually approve the conservation of particular portions of the federal range; under the program, BLM could protect those areas for the entire ten-year duration of the permit. Any new rights to water on public land for livestock watering on such land would be acquired, maintained, and administered under applicable state laws. BLM would return 25 percent of its grazing receipts to the district of origin and would return an additional 25 percent to BLM state offices, which would allocate the funds as needed for rangeland rehabilitation and protection; this practice is consistent with current FS practices. BLM grazing advisory boards would be replaced by multiple resource advisory councils, a diverse reflecting a wide array of perspectives within a community. Both agencies would use the same grazing fee formula, one that uses a base value ($3.96) updated annually by a forage value index. Four additional management alternatives and six additional fee alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed plan, implementation would accelerate the restoration and improvement of public rangelands, streamline BLM and FS grazing administration, reduce agency administrative costs, and establish a fair and equitable grazing fee. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some economic hardship would be experienced by ranchers, as the level of forage authorized for livestock would decline by 21 percent. These grazing restrictions would result in an income loss of up to $106 million for western ranchers.

Preparation date: May 4, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - REGULATORY PERMITS FOR THE CENTRAL CITY WATER DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, CENTRAL CITY, GILPIN COUNTY, COLORADO. AN - 36393777; 4636 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the water supply system of Central City, Colorado, is proposed. Water demand has increased dramatically in the area since October 1991 when limited stakes gaming was introduced in Central City, spurring significant commercial growth. The lack of adequate raw water storage and demands on North Clear Creek Basin water have strained the existing water supply and made it necessary to develop additional water supply to meet municipal needs. Central City must compete for water from the Clear Creek basin with other communities in the north Denver area, and the lack of any facility to capture and store water during the spring runoff aggravates the city's problem. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the city's preferred alternative (Alternative I-1), a dam and a 600-acre-foot reservoir on Chase Gulch would be built. The dam site is located in the upper portion of Chase Gulch, approximately two miles upstream from the North Clear Creek confluence and 400 feet downstream from the confluence with New York Gulch. Water storage would occur primarily during spring runoff, and drawdown would occur primarily during winter and early spring when streamflows of the Chase Gulch watershed and Miner's Gulch are normally low. The dam would be constructed with earth and rock fill to provide a reservoir capacity of 600 acre-feet. The dam would be 560 feet wide and 85 feet high, and flood approximately 25 acres. The dam and reservoir would require 10 months to construct. Under several of the construction alternatives, improvements would involve pipeline construction. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the plan, regional water capacity would increase and a system capable of meeting anticipated demand would established. The reservoir would diversify recreational opportunities in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Water diversion and storage in the reservoir would have long-term depletion effects on streamflow below the dam. Dam construction would stimulate erosion of unvegetated areas, increasing suspended solids in streams. Approximately 24 acres of vegetation would be cleared or inundated, including eight acres of wet meadow habitat. Late-season drawdowns of the reservoir would detract from the scenic value of the area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

Preparation date: May 4, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TWIN FALLS SOLID WASTE FACILITIES, CITY OF TWIN FALLS, TWIN FALLS COUNTY, IDAHO. AN - 15225077; 4623 AB - PURPOSE: The transfer of 1083.77 acres of public land from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to the County of Twin Falls in Idaho for the construction and operation of an integrated solid waste management facility is proposed. The site is located ten miles south of the city of Twin Falls on gentle sloping rangeland with a mixture of grass and sagebrush cover. Focal issues identified in the scoping process include the effects of the project on grazing activity and rangeland resources, wildlife, threatened and endangered species, cultural resources, and ground water supplies. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the facility would include solid waste cells lined with a suitable material in order to impede the movement of any leachate accumulation beyond the cell boundaries; fences to contain any excess litter; an area to store excavated topsoil and another area to store other excavated materials; a composting area for grass clippings and other organic materials; a gravity flow network of perforated pipe designed to collect any accumulation of leachate and channel it to a common collection area; and two series of ditches around the facility to capture any surface runoff and divert to a retention basin. Throughout the life of the project, landfill operations would use no more than 80 acres at any one time; six monitoring wells, each roughly 280 feet deep, would be used for monitoring groundwater. A two-mile, paved access road would be constructed from the intersection of 3100 North and 2800 East to the intersection of 2900 North and 2800 East. Livestock grazing would be allowed on all areas that are not part of the active landfill, but no commercial or industrial activities would be permitted. As each succeeding cell were filled and closed, it would be shaped with adequate topsoil and reseeded. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the landfill would provide a means of disposing of solid waste generated by Twin Falls County. The landfill presently operated by the county is not in compliance with regulations that become effective in April 1994; developing a new site would be more cost effective than bringing the current site into compliance. The site is located two miles south of the existing site, and the shutdown of the existing site and the startup of the site would have a net positive effect on air quality. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Although the natural topography of the site would shield the new facility from viewing by the general public, the facility would adversely alter the present landscape. The construction and operation of the new facility would result in fee increases for county residences and businesses.

Preparation date: June 21, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - STERLING HIGHWAY MILEPOST 37 TO MILEPOST 60, ALASKA. AN - 36394298; 4497 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of a 23-mile portion of the Sterling Highway along the Kenai Peninsula in south-central Alaska is proposed. The project area extends from the Skilak Lake Road intersection to the Sterling Highway's junction with the Seward Highway. The project area is in the vicinity of the community of Cooper Landing and partially within the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and the Chugach National Forest. Several popular campgrounds, trails, and recreational sites are in the vicinity. The Sterling Highway is a narrow two-lane road with shoulders only one or two feet wide. The highway is often congested during the summer and accident rates along certain segments are higher than expected. Throughout the project area the highway runs parallel to the Kenai River and its tributaries; highway improvements are hampered by the presence of the river or a creek on one side of the road and steep valley walls on the other. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the 3R Alternative (which is essentially the minimum development alternative), the highway would be improved on its existing alignment. The two-lane highway would generally have a surface width of 36 feet, with two 12-foot lanes and two six-foot shoulders; where needed, a 12-foot passing lane with a four-foot shoulder would be provided. Widening the roadway embankment would require cuts or additional fill along the entire length of the project. Eleven retaining binwalls would be constructed to support erosion-prone slopes; the binwalls would be ten feet tall and range from 100 feet to 0.3 miles in length. One low-speed curve at milepost 47.5 would be improved. Under the other build alternative (the Juneau Creek Alternative), the facility would be fully reconstructed to provide an improved two-lane highway with a surface width of 40 feet, including two eight-foot shoulders and passing lanes as needed. Although cuts or additional fill would be required throughout the project area, binwalls would not be necessary because alignment shifts would remove the highway from those slumpage zones and increase embankment height to contain the erodible slopes. Estimated costs for the 3R Alternative and the Juneau Creek Alternative are $29.8 million and $64.4 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed improvements would enhance safety conditions and alleviate traffic congestion. The widened shoulders would provide for emergency pulloffs. Under both of the build alternatives, long-term siltation into the adjacent wetlands and river would be minimized, and expenses for slope and ditch maintenance would be substantially reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under both of the build alternatives, the reconstruction would result in a loss of fish and wildlife habitat and some disturbance of archaeological resources. In addition, under the 3R Alternative, the reconstruction would result in the loss or displacement of 5 acres of wetlands, 2.4 acres of right-of-way from Cooper Landing, and one residence in Cooper Landing. Under the Juneau Creek Alternative, the reconstruction would result in the loss of 43 acres of wetlands, and 24 acres of right-of-way from the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and 183 acres from the Chugach National Forest; this alignment would also cross the Resurrection Pass Trail.

Preparation date: April 27, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ANIMAL DAMAGE CONTROL PROGRAM. AN - 36406992; 4473 AB - PURPOSE: The continuation of the Department of Agriculture's ongoing animal damage control (ADC) program is proposed. As a wildlife damage management program, ADC incorporates the concepts and practices of modern wildlife management and provides leadership in the science and practice of wildlife damage control in order to protect America's agriculture, facilities and structures, and natural resources and to safeguard public health and safety. ADC activities are conducted in cooperation with other federal, state, and local agencies, as well as private organizations and individuals. The ADC program uses an integrated pest management (IPM) approach that integrates and applies all practical methods of prevention and control to reduce wildlife damage. These methods include resource management, physical exclusion, and wildlife management, or a combination of these approaches. In the selection of control methods and development of application strategies, consideration is given to the responsible species and the magnitude, geographic extent, duration and frequency, and likelihood of damage. In addition, consideration is given to nontarget species, local environmental conditions and impacts, social and legal aspects, and relative costs of control options. In applying the IPM approach to wildlife damage control, the ADC program offers technical assistance, direct control, or both, in response to requests for help with wildlife damage problems. Technical assistance consists of advice, recommendations, information, or materials provided for use in managing wildlife damage problems. Direct control consists of the identification of the source of a problem, and the implementation of practical control actions, by ADC personnel. The ADC program also conducts research to improve wildlife damage control methods and techniques. The development and dissemination of scientific information, the improvement of control methods, and the maintenance of pesticide registrations are handled by the Denver Wildlife Research Center in Colorado. The estimated annual cost of the program is approximately $25 million; however, this estimate does not include costs incurred by producers and consumers due to implementation of specific projects or other cooperative programs. Thirteen alternatives are considered in this programmatic EIS; five alternatives (the No Action Alternative, the Current Program Alternative, two nonlethal alternatives, and a Compensation Program Alternative, which would direct program efforts toward verification of and reimbursement for vertebrate wildlife damage) are considered in detail. The Current Program Alternative, which uses an IPM approach, is identified as the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Program continuation would provide continued protection against animal damage to field crops, fruits and nuts, commercial forests and forest products, grazing lands, aquaculture and mariculture resources, livestock, facilities and structures, and public health. The ADC program would continue to take into account the economic, sociocultural, biological, and physical environments of these resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The use of lethal control methods in individual ADC projects could adversely affect target and nontarget species. The cultural values of animal welfare groups and some environmentalists could be undermined by some individual ADC projects. Toxic chemicals would continue to be used for some pests, creating some potential for negative health effects. LEGAL MANDATES: Animal Damage Control Act of 1931, as amended (7 U.S.C. 426 et seq.).

The project area consists of unpatented lode and placer mining claims on public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM); the site is located in the Cargo Muchacho Mountains near the Arizona border. The proposed site would be the third mining operation in the area to be operated by the American Girl Mining Joint Venture (AGM), a joint venture of MK Gold Company and Eastmaque Gold Mining Ltd. All claims affected by the proposed operation are controlled by AGM through direct ownership or various lease arrangements. Initial mining from the operation would be conducted via two open pits, the Cross Pit and the Queen Pit. The ore and waste rock would be extracted by using the front-end loaders and trucks used in the adjacent mining operations. Once surface mining is completed, the Cross Pit would be used for access to underground mining. The Queen Pit would be backfilled once mining is completed. Surface mining would begin in the summer of 1994 and would continue for three years, with 2.5 million tons of ore and 8 million tons of waste rock being produced. Underground mining would yield an estimated 500,000 tons of ore. Higher and lower grades of ore would be separated during mining and then processed separately. Virtually all of the underground ore and 600,000 tons of the surface ore would be hauled 2.5 miles by truck to the existing crusher and processed in the existing cyanide mill nearby. Mill tailings would be agglomerated and placed on the leach pad. Under the BLM's preferred alternative, the project would involve approving AGM's plan as proposed but requiring the applicant to use a drip method to apply cyanide solution to the leach pad; this method would consume less water than the sprinkler application method and would limit human and wildlife exposure to cyanide. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The production of gold would boost the local, regional, and national economies and provide jobs to area residents. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project operations would disturb approximately 191 acres of land, bringing the cumulative projected disturbance from all three mining operations to 809 acres. The habitats of the California desert tortoise and the California leaf-nosed bat, both endangered species, would be disturbed. Air quality and visual resources would be moderately degraded by the proposed mining operation. The historic significance of the two mining sites would be damaged by the proposed development. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

Preparation date: April 20, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BLACK-FOOTED FERRET REINTRODUCTION, CONATA BASIN/BADLANDS AREA, SOUTH DAKOTA. AN - 36411446; 4493 AB - PURPOSE: The reintroduction of the black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) in the Conata Basin/Badlands area of southwestern South Dakota is proposed. The species, which was listed as endangered in 1967, would be reintroduced in order to reestablish the species in its former habitat. The black-footed ferret is almost totally dependent on the prairie dog ecosystem, which has been substantially reduced since the early 1900s. Ferrets prey almost exclusively on prairie dogs and live in prairie dog burrows. The use of rodenticides to control prairie dog populations and increased agricultural tillage have contributed to the near-extinction of black-footed ferrets. The major focal issues related to the proposed reintroduction include the effects on prairie dog management, recreational prairie dog shooting, private landowners, and the reintroduction site. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative C), the black-footed ferret would be reintroduced onto approximately 42,000 acres in the Badlands National Park (BNP) and the Buffalo Gap National Grassland (BGNP), areas that contain approximately 8,000 acres of prairie dog colonies. Initial releases would take place in the BNP. Public access within 200 yards of release sites would be discouraged by the use of advisory signs, and additional restrictions would be placed on prairie dog shooting if it placed the ferret population at greater risk. In addition, fur harvesters would be prohibited from the use of leg-hold traps and snares. The proposed reintroduction would require changing the legal status of the black-footed ferret from endangered to an experimental designation within the project area, as well as modifying the local forest plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, if it were successful, a species that is presently virtually extinct in the wild would be restored, and additional wildlife diversity would be introduced to the area. The project would also provide information on the area's cultural and paleontological resources through surveys. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: In addition to possibly restricting prairie dog shootings in the BGNP, actions under the preferred alternative would close some sections within the BGNP to off-road-vehicle use.

Preparation date: April 20, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ROBINSON PROJECT; WHITE PINE, ELKO, AND EUREKA COUNTIES, NEVADA. AN - 36406947; 4470 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a permit for the development of a copper mine in the Robinson Mining District located near Ely, Nevada, is proposed. The proposed project area is located six miles west of Ely in White Pine County. Copper has been mined in the area from 1908 until 1978, when Kennocott Copper Corporation terminated its mining operations. Surface disturbances from historic mining activities have left a total contiguous area of approximately 3,370 acres with little or no vegetation, and mining remains the sole land use in the area. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. All mining would take place on private land; public land would be used for waste dumps, leaching facilities, mill tailings disposal, and pipeline and power line corridors. Roughly 3,216 acres of private land and 2,140 acres of public land would be affected under the proposed action. The Robinson Mining Limited Partnership (RMLP) would restart copper mining activities by expanding the existing open-pit mines and constructing new concentrating and leaching facilities. Gold leaching activities would also be expanded. The proposed project would involve the construction and operation of new ore crushing facilities, a copper and molybdenum concentrator, a mill tailings facility, gold and copper heap leach pads and ponds, and a solvent extraction/electrowinning plant. The project would also require the construction of a 230-kilovolt electric transmission line from the Gonder Substation south of McGill, Nevada, to the project site and water production wells in North Robinson Canyon and near Keystone Dump with related power and pipelines to the project area. The project would also require the expansion of, and the continuation of mining of, the Liberty, Veteran-Tripp, Ruth, Kimbley, and Wedge pits; the expansion of the use of existing waste rock disposal areas; the construction of runoff diversion channels, waste rock dump toe protection berms, and runoff catchment channels and basins; and the construction and operation of a new tailings slurry pipeline. Six disposal scenarios, encompassing different volumes of tailings and waste rock disposed in Liberty pit, are evualuated. Under the preferred alternative for tailings disposal, a straight-across tailings dam in Giroux Wash would be constructed. Tailings from Liberty Pit would be placed in this site until Liberty Pit were economically mined; at that point, the remaining tailings would be placed into Liberty Pit. Mining operations would begin in 1996 and continue for 15 years. Reclamation would continue for another seven years. The daily production would be 690 tons of copper concentrate, 50 tons of electrowon cathode copper, and 2 tons of molybdenum concentrate. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The production of copper and gold would boost the local, regional, and national economies. It would also provide 908 direct and indirect jobs, primarily for area residents. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Withdrawal of groundwater at an average rate of 3,500 gallons per minute for milling and leaching activities would occur over 15 years, drawing down the water table by 520 feet. Project operations would disturb approximately 3,345 acres of land. Birds and other wildlife would be exposed to poor quality water in pit lakes and tailings pools.

Preparation date: April 20, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BROOKS RIVER AREA, KATMAI NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERVE, ALASKA. AN - 15222006; 4474 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Brooks River Area of the Katmai National Park in southern Alaska is proposed. The overall objective of the plan is the protection of the park's Alaskan brown bear habitat, and the enhancement of bear viewing opportunities, area scenic values, and sportfishing opportunities. Tourist visits to the park have increased so dramatically in recent years that existing facilities cannot accommodate them. Visitors come primarily to watch and photograph brown bears catching migrating salmon at Brook Falls. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative 2), plan implementation would involve the construction of new visitor facilities (a visitors' center, a lodge, a campground, employee housing, and a maintenance facility) on the Beaver Pond Terrace south of the Brooks River; the removal of all Park Service and concessions facilities north of the river; the designation of the north side as a people-free zone; the establishment of day-use limits; the closing of portions of the river during periods of intense bear use; and the improvement of the area's interpretation program. Day use limits would be established at levels significantly below the July 1992 average in order to allow higher overnight use at the lodge and campground. Access to the area would be primarily by floatplane, and would be east of the Beaver Pond, away from critical bear habitat. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Removal of the facilities north of the river would allow the local bear population to experience less disturbance and the incremental impacts to cultural resources to cease. The management of the river would allow for quality bear viewing, wildlife photography, and sportfishing. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: About 105 acres of undisturbed habitat, mostly white spruce forest, would experience varying degrees of disturbance as a result of development. Some archaeological sites would be disturbed as a result of planned construction and the removal of development north of the river.

Preparation date: April 20, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ALL-AMERICAN CANAL LINING PROJECT, IMPERIAL COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36404094; 4536 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to control seepage from the All-American Canal (AAC) in Imperial County, California, is proposed. The project would lie along a 29.9-mile reach of the existing unlined AAC, a segment that begins just south of Pilot Knob and ends at Drop 4, where the canal approaches the irrigated area of the Imperial Irrigation District. This reach of the AAC traverses the East Mesa and runs along the International Boundary with Mexico. The existing canal was constructed in the 1930s and began delivering water in the 1940s. The canal was constructed in sandy desert soils with widths varying from 171 to 196 feet along the section under consideration for seepage control. The AAC conveys more than 3.0 million acre-feet (af) of water annually from the Colorado River to the Imperial and Coachella valleys. The water is diverted from the river at the Imperial Dam. The preferred plan would involve lining a 23-mile section of the canal by constructing a concrete-lined canal parallel to the existing canal. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, the new parallel canal would be constructed from a point one mile west of Pilot Knob to Drop 3. The new canal would be offset from the centerline of the old canal by a distance of 300 to 600 feet. The plan would include mitigation measures for lost wetlands and reduction of fishery habitat. The estimated construction cost of the project under the preferred alternative is $86.4 million, while the estimated annual operation and maintenance cost increase is $14,000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The control of seepage from the AAC would help offset a projected water shortage of 1.2 million af in the coastal area of southern California by the year 2010. Under the preferred alternative, the usable supply of water from the Colorado River would be increased by approximately 67,700 acre-feet per year. Conserved water would not necessarily be diverted from the Colorado; rather it would, in effect, be left in storage upstream on the river in Lake Mead, where it would be available for use in California under the California Seven Party Agreement. The project would generate 415 work years of employment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The reduction of seepage from the canal would endanger wetland habitat induced along the canal by seepage. Wetland losses would adversely affect the endangered Yuma clapper rail and the California black rail. Approximately 562 acres of desert scrub and 916 acres of sand dune habitat would be displaced. Loss of desert habitat would adversely affect the flat-tailed horned lizard and the Colorado fringe-toed lizard, both of which are special status species. The creation of a concrete canal would also reduce the availability of fish habitat within the canal. The loss of seepage would reduce the water level of the underlying Colorado River Aquifer, which extends north under the East Mesa and south across the International Boundary under the Mexicali Valley. Seepage through the unlined canal bottom has raised the groundwater level under the canal as much as 40 feet, causing a gradient to the south that causes most of the seepage to flow under the International Boundary into Mexico. Hence, the reduction of seepage would reduce groundwater recharge in the Mexicali Valley. If the pumping of water in Mexico were to continue at the current rate, it would cause the groundwater under the canal to decline to a greater depth than prior to operation of the canal, ultimately resulting in withdrawal of water from under the East Mesa of Imperial County. Diversion of the conserved water at Lake Havasu would reduce the flow in the Colorado River downstream of Parker Dam by approximately 94 cubic feet per second from April through September; this would represent approximately one percent of the average monthly flow. The canal structures could pose hazards to animals attempting to cross or drink from it. Off-road vehicle use in the area would be curtailed; swimming in the canal, which occurs regularly even though it is illegal, would be more hazardous. Approximately 185,000 cubic yards of sand and gravel would be required in an area in which gravel supplies are not plentiful. Decreased diversions into the canal would reduce hydroelectric power generation along the AAC by approximately 220,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year and along the Colorado River by 5.0 million kWh per year.

AN - 36401159; 4531 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a Class III nonhazardous solid waste landfill adjacent to the active Mesquite Gold Mine and Ore Processing Facility in eastern Imperial County, California, is proposed. The proposed site consists of 4,250 acres of public and private land located in the California Desert Conservation Area. Arid Operations Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Gold Fields Mining Corporation, would design and operate the landfill. Roughly 1,750 acres of the proposed landfill site are federally-owned lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). In order to obtain the surface and subsurface rights to those federal lands, the applicant proposes to exchange roughly 2,242 acres of private lands located in the Santa Rosa Mountains Natural Scenic Area and near the Chuckwalla Bench Area of Critical Environmental Concern. The project would include a four- to five-mile railroad spur that would extend from the existing Southern Pacific Transportation Company main line track to the landfill site. The footprint of the proposed landfill would cover 2,290 acres and accommodate up to 600 million tons of municipal solid waste over a 100-year period. The facility would receive 4,000 tons of waste per day during its first year of operation and up to 20,000 tons per day by the seventh year of operation. Waste would be collected by local collection vehicles from population centers in southern California and taken to transfer stations or material recovery facilities where it would be sorted and processed to remove recyclables, hazardous materials, and other unacceptable wastes. The waste would then be loaded into containers and hauled to the landfill by railroad. One train trip per day would be necessary during the first year, and five trips per day by the seventh year. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the other action alternatives, the project would provide for a smaller landfill footprint, a reduced daily volume, an alternative landfill site, or a larger project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The operation of the landfill at the 20,000-ton-per-day capacity would provide for the disposal of nonhazardous solid waste generated in the southern California area in the near and long terms. The private land transferred by the applicant would contribute critical wildlife and scenic areas to BLM's public land holdings. Under the proposed project, some 268 long-term jobs would be supported; in addition, 150 construction jobs would be generated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Landfill slopes would be vulnerable to erosion, which, in turn, would degrade water quality; groundwater would be vulnerable to degradation from waste leachate or seepage. The project would contribute particulate and vehicle emissions to the Southeast Desert and South Coast air basins. The operation of the landfill and use of the rail line could adversely affect populations of desert tortoise and raven, two endangered and threatened species. Some level of health risk would result from the potential exposure of local residents to landfill gas. Ten cultural resources recommended as eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places would be disturbed; a portion of the mesquite Mine overlook trail would be lost.

Preparation date: March 30, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GARY MARINA, LAKE COUNTY, INDIANA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1989). AN - 15223376; 4520 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a marina on Lake Michigan in Gary, Indiana, is proposed. The project, to be sponsored by the city of Gary, would be located between the USX (formerly U.S. Steel) breakwater to the west and Marquette Park to the east. The preferred 220-acre site would lie near lands administered by the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, which encompasses 14,000 noncontiguous acres. The marina development would ultimately contain 1,300 to 1,400 boat slips, which would be built in phases as demand warrants. Supporting marine services would include diesel and gas fuel facilities, retail sales serving boating activities, boat/motor maintenance and service facilities, dry storage provisions, and public use areas. The marina design would also support nonboating recreational activities; both boating and nonboating activities would be supported by parking facilities, rest rooms, bathhouses, and other services. In addition, the site would support development of associated residential and commercial uses. Development of offshore facilities would involve dredging and filling to create a small boat harbor and sites for land-based facilities and construction of a steel-sheet breakwater. The harbor would have an interior depth of 8 to 10 feet, while the marina entrance would have a depth of 12 feet. The moorage system would be either a fixed-pier or floating dock arrangement. A launching ramp and a service island would also be provided. The marina would be accessed via a new road constructed on the existing roadbed of the Indiana Harbor Belt (IHB) Railroad. Five alternative alignments for the access route which would minimize impacts to National Park Service property are considered in this draft supplement to the draft EIS of April 1989. Under the proposed action, the access road would involve about 3,100 linear feet of the IHB, or roughly 9.4 acres. The proposed route would follow the IHB corridor from US 12/20 north and east to the NIPSCO transmission line right-of-way. The roadway would then be routed onto USX property, and continue northeast to the west boundary of the national lakeshore. The access route would then turn north, traveling adjacent to, but outside, the National Park Service boundary for the remainder of its distance to the marine site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Marina development would meet the regional demand for recreational boating and lakefront facilities for public use in Gary. One site would support the development of additional housing and business uses. A new opening to be made in the USX breakwater would enhance water circulation and provide access to a sheltered sedimentary environment for fish. Under the proposed action, the construction of the access route would destroy 13.1 fewer acres of vegetation than the route considered in the draft EIS. It would also avoid adversely affecting the blue lupine, the host plant for the Karner blue butterfly, an endangered species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging would result in temporary turbidity and alteration of bottom topography. Some trace metals could be released during construction, but the metals would not be highly soluble. Under the proposed action, the construction of the access route would destroy 4.1 acres of vegetation.

Preparation date: March 30, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SALT LAKE CITY AREA INTEGRATED PROJECTS ELECTRIC MARKETING, UTAH. AN - 36400483; 4465 AB - PURPOSE: The change of the energy marketing methods used by the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) for the sale of long-term electrical capacity and energy from the Salt Lake City Area Integrated Projects (SLCAIPs) hydroelectric power plants is proposed. WAPA's mission is to sell and deliver excess electricity generated from power plants built as part of certain federal water projects. All of the power plants considered in this draft EIS are operated by the Bureau of Reclamation, and most are located on the Upper Colorado River and its tributaries. The three major SLCAIP facilities that provide most of the power marketed by WAPA are the Glen Canyon Dam, Flaming Gorge Dam, and the Aspinal Unit. Power generated by SLCAIP facilities or purchased by WAPA from other sources is provided to WAPA customers under contracts. These contracts specify the amounts of capacity and energy that WAPA agrees to offer for long-term sale to its customers; these amounts constitute WAPA's commitment levels. Currently WAPA's sale commitments from the SLCAIP, including capacity and energy purchased from other sources, total approximately 1,200 megawatts (MW) of long-term firm capacity and 5,700 gigawatt-hours (GWH) of long-term firm energy. The commitment level was established in 1978 for the period through 1989. Six alternative commitment levels for the period from the present to the year 2004, along with a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under Alternative 1, which would reflect the post-1989 commitment levels, some 1,449 MW of long-term firm capacity and 6,156 GWH of energy would be provided. Under Alternative 2, some 1,450 MW of capacity and 3,300 GWH of energy would be provided, thereby enabling customers to take most of their commitment during on-peak hours when power would be most available. Under Alternatives 3 and 6, moderate levels of capacity (1,225 MW and 1,000 MW, respectively) and long-term firm energy (4,000 GWH and 4,750 GWH, respectively) would be provided. Under Alternative 4, which assumes that adverse water conditions would continue, some 550 MW of capacity and 3,300 GWH of energy would be provided. Under Alternative 5, some 625 MW of capacity and 5,475 GWH of energy would be provided. A preferred alternative has not yet been identified. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The establishment of new guidelines for WAPA's power marketing program should provide long-term resource and contractual stability within the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: According to a model-based analysis of each alternative in relation to three sets of assumptions about water supply, each alternative would adversely affect the financial viability of WAPA's utility customers and the retail rates charged to end-users.

Preparation date: March 24, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BENNET HILLS RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, SHOSHONE DISTRICT; LINCOLN, GOODING, CAMAS, JEROME, BLAINE, AND ELMORE COUNTIES, IDAHO. AN - 36415459; 4482 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed for 649,786 acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public lands within the Shoshone District of Idaho. The project area is located in south central Idaho, north of the Snake River and south of the Sawtooth National Forest. It is bordered on the west by King Hill Creek and on the east by Willow Creek, Camas Creek, Big Wood River, and the Milner/Gooding canal water systems. Unrestricted grazing and occasional wild fires have degraded wildlife habitat throughout the project area. Issues identified during the scoping process include methods of preserving riparian resources and uplands, federal acquisition of state lands within designated wilderness areas, management of resources along the north rim of the Snake River Canyon, and designation of new wild and scenic rivers and areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs). Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative D), management goals based on desired future vegetation conditions instead of commodity goals would be established; an agreement between the Bureau of Land Management and the state of Idaho for land exchange would be implemented; and livestock use levels would be adjusted in order to reflect 1984-92 average annual use levels. Under the preferred alternative, six additional ACECs would be designated within the project area, affecting 14,626 acres; 68 additional miles of road would be built; 3,016 acres of land would be acquired and 29,372 acres would be exchanged; 10,176 acres would be stipulated for no surface occupancy for mineral leasing; the number of anticipated animal unit months permitted for grazing would decline by 27,310; areas open to off-highway vehicles would decline by 75,093 acres; improved riparian areas would increase by 4,615 acres; and a wild and scenic river study would be conducted on eligible segments of the Snake River. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, public land holdings in the planning areas would be consolidated. Wildlife and plant life would be protected, thereby reducing some of the effects of grazing and wild fires. Visitor use of the area would increase moderately, benefitting the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some land designations and management strategies would conflict with existing land uses; annual losses to the ranching industry from reductions in grazing would be $296,400. Winter habitat for deer, elk, and antelope would be reduced. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

Preparation date: March 22, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MINERAL WITHDRAWAL, DESERT NATIONAL WILDLIFE RANGE, CLARK AND LINCOLN COUNTIES, NEVADA. AN - 36390416; 4487 AB - PURPOSE: The withdrawal from mineral estate exploration and development of approximately 770,000 acres of the Desert National Wildlife Range in Clark and Lincoln counties, Nevada, is proposed. The range, which is located in the northeastern region of the Mojave Desert, was established in 1936 for the protection, enhancement, and maintenance of wildlife, especially the Nelson's desert bighorn sheep. A low-density population of desert tortoises, which are a threatened species, also inhabits the lower elevations of the range. In addition, eleven category 2 threatened or endangered plant species and six category 2 threatened or endangered animal species are known to live within the range. The executive order that established the range did not withdraw the mineral estate, but instead established a split estate, dedicating the land surface to a national wildlife refuge while the mineral estate remained unreserved public domain. Under the proposed action (the Wildlife Range Withdrawal Alternative/Alternative A), lands in the eastern portion of the range, and a smaller portion of lands in the range's southwest corner, would be closed to entry for the exploration, claiming, and extraction of locatable minerals for 20 years, beginning in October 1993. Another portion of the range, which contains the Nellis Air Force Bombing Range, has already been secondarily withdrawn by Congress until 2001. This final EIS also considers two other alternatives: a No Action Alternative (Alternative B), which would have the effect of releasing the entire range from wilderness consideration in 2001 and opening it to mineral entry, and a Limited Entry Alternative (Alternative C), which would open a limited area in the southern Las Vegas Mountain Range to mineral entry. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the withdrawal would protect the biological and cultural resources of the range and prevent uses that would be incompatible with the purposes and objectives for which the range was established. Vulnerable wildlife in the range would benefit from the proposed withdrawal and the maintenance of an undisturbed natural environment. Groundwater and springs, cultural resources, and visual resources would continue to be protected and undisturbed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: While no existing mining operations would be displaced, under the closure of the range, the potential for the excavation of existing industrial limestone deposits would be precluded. This would be a forgone economic opportunity, as a limestone mine could increase local incomes by $2.7 million annually.

AN - 36398849; 4476 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan to guide the management, development, and use over the next 18 years of Santa Rosa Island in Channel Islands National Park in Santa Barbara County, California, is proposed. The Channel Islands are ridges on the continental shelf off the coast of southern California, between Point Conception and the U.S./Mexican border. The Channel Islands National Park consists of five of these islands, including the 52,794-acre Santa Rosa Island, which the federal government purchased from private owners in 1986. These owners have retained rights for noncommercial use and occupancy of specific areas of the island for 25 years from the date of purchase. The proposed management plan covers the next 18 years when the Island is under combined control of private owners and the National Park Service (NPS). Two alternative, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (the Expanded NPS Operations Alternative), visitors would be allowed on the island but only to the extent that their presence is compatible with private uses. The plan provides for NPS-guided recreational activities such as walks, kayak trips, and mountain biking excursions. Permanent housing and maintenance facility for NPS operations would be constructed at Beecher's Bay. Temporary trails and NPS-operated vehicles would move visitors from air and water transportation to interpretive media and to the campground in Water Canyon. Visitor capacity on the island would be set at 100 per day in the summer and less than 30 the remainder of the year. Overnight visitors would receive an extensive briefing on restricted areas in order to protect resources and prevent interference with ranching and hunting. The estimated development costs of the proposed action are $1.9 million. The estimated operation and maintenance costs are $0.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Despite nearly 150 years of ranching, military use, and modern habitation, Santa Rosa Island remains a pristine natural enclave in close proximity to the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Under the proposed management plan, visitors would be provided with a wildland and early California experience. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased visitor use and development could threaten archaeological sites. An increased number of buildings and a larger developed area would decrease the naturalness of the Beecher's Bay area. Roughly 15 acres of vegetation would be lost as a result of development.

AN - 36382589; 4492 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for 3,200 acres of public land acquired and administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the Klamath Falls Resource Area, located in Klamath County, Oregon, is proposed. The area, known as the Woods River property, is located at the mouth of the Wood River at the upper end of the Klamath Basin, a region that has experienced dramatic reductions in wetlands acreage since the early 1900s as a result of agricultural conversion. It is bounded on the east by the Wood River and the Wood River Marsh, roughly 300 acres of permanently flooded marsh; on the west by Sevenmile Creek; on the north by a dike; and on the south by Agency Lake. BLM purchased a portion of the Wood River property in July 1993 for the purpose of wetlands restoration and is likely to acquire the remainder in fiscal 1994. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative D), restoration measures would return the Wood River property to its previous form and function as a wetland community, within unalterable constraints (such as existing dikes, water rights, land ownership patterns, and funds); the entire area would be declared an area of critical environmental concern. Specific objectives would include improving the quality and quantity of water entering Agency Lake; restoring Wood River and Sevenmile Creek to their historic meandering flow patterns prior to channelizing and dredging; restoring the historic vegetation communities within the wetlands; protecting threatened and endangered species; improving spawning and rearing habitats for suckers and salmonids; improving habitats for raptors, neotropical migratory birds, and waterfowl; managing the area for low to moderate recreational use, with improvements to access roads; and acquiring mineral estate as well as restricting mining activities that would conflict with management goals. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, water quality would be improved, and livestock-related sedimentation and fecal pollution would decrease significantly. Wetland vegetation diversity would increase. Restoration of natural stream channels would result in a significant increase in the quantity and quality of fish and wildlife habitat. The planting of shrubs and trees on dikes would benefit neotropical migrant birds. Use of prescribed fire could benefit wildlife species by providing more natural ecosystem processes and habitat diversity. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The conversion of more land to deep water marsh habitat would displace some species and their predators that prefer the present meadow communities. Increased recreation use and motorized vehicle traffic would disturb wildlife. Some motorized access would adversely affect those people seeking primitive recreation opportunities. The area economy would be adversely affected by the loss of ranching operations in the project area, and restrictions on livestock grazing.

Bureau Funded Academic and Residential School Programs, School Year 1993-94. AN - 62707349; ED377001 AB - This report describes the activities and findings of the Office of Indian Education Programs (OIEP) during fiscal year 1994 with regard to its monitoring and evaluation of academic and residential school programs funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The Bureau's overall goals for its monitoring and evaluation program are to ensure compliance with applicable academic and residential standards and to improve overall school effectiveness. In September 1993, the Bureau distributed standardized FY 1994 Academic Standards Compliance Report and Residential Standards Compliance Report forms to the 184 Bureau-funded schools (172 academic and 70 residential). Thirty-eight percent of the schools met all academic standards. Forty-three percent of the dormitory programs met all residential standards. The three academic standards most often not met were library/media program (42 percent), administrative requirements (27 percent), and counseling services (26 percent). The three residential standards most often not met were general provisions (24 percent), space and privacy (24 percent), and homeliving (21 percent). The document contains tables by school of the academic standards met, additional academic funding needed, residential standards met, and residential funding needed. It also contains the following exhibits: (1) fiscal year 1994 OIEP monitoring and evaluation schedule; (2) fiscal year 1994 monitoring teams; and (3) synopses of on-site findings by school.

AN - 36408816; 4408 AB - PURPOSE: The extraction of additional gold ore from the Lamefoot Mine in north central Ferry County, Washington, is proposed. The project area is located along the western flank of the Kettle River Mountain Range, roughly 120 miles northwest of Spokane. The project applicant, Echo Bay Minerals, Inc., currently operates two open-pit gold mines within 20 miles of the proposed site. The operation of these mines was the subject of a final EIS of August 1992 prepared by the Forest Service (FS) which was adopted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on February 28, 1994. This draft supplement to the final EIS of the FS adopted by the BLM proposes an additional operation at the Lamefoot Mine. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are under consideration. Under the proposed action (the preferred alternative), ore would be extracted by a long-hole open-stoping mining technique. It would then be loaded into underground trucks and transported to the surface where it would be hauled to the Key Mill site via state and county roads. It would be processed by the conventional carbon-in-leach method. The processed ore would be stored at an existing tailings impoundment located on private land. Waste rock would be deposited in temporary waste storage piles at the Lamefoot site. Upon completion of the commercial mining phase, the waste rock would be hauled underground and used as backfill to provide ground support and mitigate the potential for acid formation. Reclamation would include the use of topsoil and fertilization, if necessary, in order to revegetate areas of surface disturbance, erosion and sediment control until revegetation has occurred; once mining operations were completed, the area would be managed for wildlife habitat. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would benefit the local economy by supporting 68 direct jobs and 102 indirect jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 45 to 50 acres would be disturbed, including up to 12 acres of public land, resulting in erosion and the associated sedimentation of receiving waters as well as habitat loss for mule deer and other species.

AN - 36403419; 4407 AB - PURPOSE: The establishment of two open-pit gold mines to be operated by Echo Bay Minerals, Inc., in northern Ferry County, Washington, is proposed. The proposed site is located approximately 140 miles northwest of Spokane, 10 miles northeast of Republic, and 20 miles south of Curlew. Roughly 86 percent of the project area is made up of patented and fee simple private lands; of the remainder, 13 acres are administered by the Forest Service and 2 acres by the Bureau of Land Management. Under the proposed action (Alternative A), open-pit mining operations would remove approximately 880,000 tons of ore containing about 115,000 ounces of gold reserves during the anticipated two- to three-year life of the mine. Ore would be processed in the currently operating Key Mill located approximately four miles southwest of the new site. Both mines would be operated simultaneously. Vegetation would be cleared from both pit sites, and any merchantable timber would be sold; topsoil would be stripped to a depth of about 12 inches, taken to designated stockpile areas, and stored for use in site reclamation. Both pits would be roughly circular in shape with diameters of approximately 750 feet and maximum depths of approximately 310 to 320 feet. The eastern pit would cover approximately 11 acres, and the western pit 9 acres. The mine would operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with an appropriate rotating crew shift schedule. Ore would be mined using the conventional open-pit methods of drilling, blasting, loading, and trucking. Additional activities would include the establishment of a waste rock disposal area adjacent to the eastern pit with a capacity of about four million tons, and the construction of internal haul roads and a main access road to the processing facilities at Key Mill. The proposed mining operations would be staffed by personnel shifted from the Kettle River Mine, which is being phased out because its recoverable reserves have been depleted. [The US Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (DOI/BLM) has adopted the US Department of Agriculture, Forest Service's (USDA/FS) final EIS EPA #920362, filed September 4, 1992. The DOI/BLM was a cooperating agency on the USDA/FS final EIS and recirculation of the document is not necessary.] POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would increase the nation's gold reserves. The local economy would benefit by allowing Echo Bay to retain its existing work force. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 105.5 acres would be disturbed, resulting in erosion and the associated sedimentation of receiving waters. Disturbed lands would consist of 29 acres of grasslands and 76.5 acres of forested lands; roughly half of that acreage currently serves as winter range for mule deer. This species, as well as other species, would experience habitat loss. Following project completion, open-pit areas would be revegetated only to a limited degree. The rocky substrates created by the waste disposal area might not be able to support tree species. Some unavoidable adverse impacts to visual resources would occur.

Preparation date: February 28, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CANAL 111 (C-111), CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PROJECT FOR FLOOD CONTROL AND OTHER PURPOSES, SOUTH DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 36411349; 4443 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of historic hydrological conditions and maintenance of flood control measures for the Canal 111 (C-111) basin in southeastern Dade County, Florida, are proposed. The project is part of the comprehensive Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project; the C-111 project, which is adjacent to the eastern boundary of Everglades National Park (ENP), has been part of the regional flood control system since it was authorized in 1962. The specific purpose of this draft EIS is to consider alternative plans for restoring the ecosystem in Taylor Slough and the eastern panhandle of the ENP, areas that were adversely affected by drainage activities associated with the flood control project in the C-111 basin. Eleven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under all of the action alternatives, water deliveries to the ENP would be made into the C-111 basin only during drought conditions when canal levels drop 1.5 feet below the optimum levels. Restoring water flows to Taylor Slough would require maintenance of normal day-to-day discharges and water levels in the proper locations, with the proper timing. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 6A), a detention/retention zone would be used for temporary storage of excess flood water before discharge into Taylor Slough. Four pump stations would pump water into the detention/retention zone using lined canals. A battery of culverts and an overflow spillway would be constructed along the western levee of the detention/retention strip. Additional features of the preferred plan include the construction or modification of ten canals, the construction of a L-31 Tieback levee and a S-332 Tieback levee, the construction of five pump stations, the replacement of the existing bridge over Taylor Slough within the ENP, and the acquisition of over 11,188 acres of land, including Frog Pond and Rocky Glades. The goal of the preferred plan would be to provide a five- to seven-month hydroperiod when water would cover the land surface to depths ranging from 2 to 20 inches and would seldom drop as much as 29 to 30 inches below ground surface. The estimated cost of the proposal is $122 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the preferred alternative would help to restore natural historic water levels and healthy marsh conditions along the ENP boundary, leading to increased overland sheet flows to the lower portions of Taylor Slough. About 397 square miles of Everglades habitat would be provided with longer hydroperiods at beneficial depths, and a 100 percent improvement over base conditions would be produced. The newly acquired lands would be taken out of agricultural production, thereby reducing the runoff of agricultural chemicals into the waters of ENP. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Five residences would be displaced under the preferred alternative. Tree islands or oak hammocks in the area could contain archaeological resources that would be damaged by changes in water levels.

Preparation date: February 25, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MANAGEMENT OF HABITAT FOR LATE-SUCCESSIONAL AND OLD-GROWTH FOREST RELATED SPECIES WITHIN THE RANGE OF THE NORTHERN SPOTTED OWL, WASHINGTON, OREGON, AND CALIFORNIA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1992). AN - 15221917; 4427 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan to protect the habitat of late-successional-forest- and old-growth-forest- related species within the range of the northern spotted owl is proposed for lands managed by the Forest Service (FS) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the Pacific Northwest and northern California. Ten action alternatives developed by the Forest Ecosystem Management Assessment Team are considered in this final supplement to the final EIS of January 1992 supplementing a final EIS issued by the FS for the Pacific Northwest region, and six draft EISs issued by the BLM in August 1992 for individual districts in Oregon. The No Action Alternative was considered unreasonable and could not be implemented. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 9), a management direction would be established that corresponds with the plan announced by President Clinton in July 1993. Approximately 7.32 million acres of forest reserved by Congress as national parks, wildlife refuges, and other specially designated areas, would be retained; another 7.43 million acres would be managed as late-successional reserves. Some level of silvicultural treatment would be permitted in stands less than 80 years old in the West in order to accelerate the development of old-growth-habitat characteristics, but all actions would require review by the Regional Ecosystem Office. The salvage of dead trees would generally be limited to areas where catastrophic losses exceeded ten acres in the East. Approximately 1.48 million acres would be managed as adaptive management areas; each of these areas would have a different emphasis in its prescription, such as maximizing the amount of late-successional forests or improving riparian conditions through silvicultural treatments. Ten areas of federal land ranging in size from 92,000 to 500,000 acres have been identified as adaptive management areas. Approximately 2.63 million acres would be managed as riparian reserves, providing a buffer along all streams, wet areas, ponds, lakes, and unstable and potentially unstable areas. Finally, roughly 3.98 million acres would be managed as matrix areas, in which some levels of timber harvesting and other silvicultural treatment would be permitted. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The protection of old-growth habitat under the preferred management scheme would ensure the continued existence of the endangered northern spotted owl, the marbled murrelet, and other species dependent on late-successional forest and old-growth forest. The proposed limitations on timber harvesting would benefit the watershed, fisheries, and soils. Similarly derived benefits would redound to recreational resources, cultural resources, and Native American religious sites. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some old-growth forest stands would be harvested under the preferred alternative. A reduction in harvest activity would take place, however, which would cause the loss of jobs and income and could threaten the economic vitality of timber-dependent communities.

Preparation date: February 22, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ENRON OIL AND GAS COMPANY BURLY PROJECT, SUBLETTE COUNTY, WYOMING. AN - 36411414; 4403 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of oil development operations on an existing oil and gas field northwest of LeBarge, Wyoming, is proposed. The project area covers roughly 1,370 acres in southern Sublette County, approximately eight miles west of the Green River. The project applicant, the Enron Oil & Gas Company, drilled a natural gas well in the field in early 1992, discovering a Mesaverde Zone with the potential for primary oil development and possibly secondary recovery using waterflood recovery techniques. Under an agreement reached with the Bureau of Land Management, Enron drilled five wells during 1993 in order to test the development potential of the field. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, Enron would drill 32 production/injection wells on a 20- acre spacing pattern between 1994 and 1999. Access roads would be constructed to each drilling site. Three water supply wells would be drilled, and 5.6 miles of pipelines would be constructed from these wells to the 32 proposed production/injection wells and the five wells drilled in 1993. Additional construction would include a central tank battery to provide centralized oil, gas, and water separation; a system of powerlines to serve the field; and an additional 0.3 miles of pipelines to connect the central tank battery to existing oil and gas pipelines. Oil would be lifted from the production wells using conventional pumping techniques. Enron would test the compatibility of the reservoir for a waterflood in 1994. If these initial tests were successful, additional wells would be drilled and water would be injected into the reservoir during the secondary recovery phase of the project. Injected water would be used to ""sweep'' oil in the reservoir toward producing wells and facilitate the recovery of additional oil. Under the other action alternative, a 10-acre spacing alternative, the number the wells developed on the field would be doubled. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would allow for oil resource development on lands already under federal oil and gas leases, thereby minimizing the need for additional infrastructure. The project would produce an estimated 8.2 million barrels of oil and 8.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas between 1994 and 2007. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Well development would disturb 107.4 acres of federal land due to well pad, pipeline, and access road construction and the construction of production facilities. Construction of roads and pipelines would require the crossing of intermittent drainages in the project area; a pipeline crossing of Fogarty Creek would be necessary. An estimated 4,644 acre-feet of water would be withdrawn from surface water sources, lowering the water levels in other water wells in the vicinity that tap the aquifer.

Preparation date: February 17, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NARROWS PROJECT, SANPETE COUNTY, UTAH. AN - 15224071; 4449 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multiple-purpose water development project by Sanpete Water Conservancy District in order to provide water for irrigation and municipal use in Sanpete County in central Utah is proposed. The service area encompasses 49,000 acres. Water from the project would come from a transmountain diversion from upper Gooseberry Creek and its tributaries, which are located in the Price River drainage. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (Recommended Plan), the Narrows Dam and Reservoir on Gooseberry Creek would be built. The facility would include pipelines to deliver the water to existing water distribution systems. The existing Narrows Tunnel would be rehabilitated. Some 2.9 miles of State Road 264 (SR 264) would be relocated. Recreation facilities would be developed and a minimum pool for fish habitat would be provided. Mitigation measures would be implemented to offset adverse impacts to wetlands, terrestrial wildlife, and stream fisheries. In addition to mitigation measures to offset project impacts, nine other specific measures would be included to enhance or improve fish and wildlife habitat. The Narrows Reservoir capacity would be 17,000 acre-feet (af); the other action alternative would provide for a reservoir capacity of 7,900 af. The project would cost from $14.3 million to $16.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed project, northern Sanpete County would be provided an average annual supply of 4,920 af of supplemental irrigation water for 15,420 acres of presently irrigated farmland and 480 af of water for municipal use. Social and economic conditions in the area are underscored by a century-long dependence on agriculture, which is severely limited by inadequate water supplies. Precipitation averages just above four inches during the summer months, making irrigation necessary to crop production. Fluctuating direct flows in local streams or limited storage supplies result in irrigation water shortages of 30 percent. Shortages would be reduced to about 19 percent. There is also a shortage of recreation facilities near the project area. The Narrows project would provide a 40-unit campground, a boat ramp, six picnic sites, and restrooms; it would be expected to draw heavy use from residents of Provo/Orem and the Salt Lake City metropolitan area as well as local residents. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the Recommended Plan, the appearance of 604 acres of land would be significantly altered by inundation by Narrows Reservoir. Some 32.4 acres of land would be covered by the SR 264 relocation. The project would also adversely affect three cultural resource sites, 6.3 miles of stream fisheries, and 100 acres of wetlands. Narrows Reservoir, SR 264 relocation, the recreation area, and the conservation easements adjacent to the reservoir would reduce the available grazing area by 786 acres.

Preparation date: February 14, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NATCHEZ NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, ADAMS COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI. AN - 36414312; 4420 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan to guide the management, development, and use over the next 10 to 15 years of Natchez National Historical Park in Natchez, Mississippi, is proposed. The park is located on the Mississippi River approximately 100 miles southwest of Jackson. It comprises three separate properties: the Melrose estate (consisting of 78.6 acres in National Park Service (NPS) ownership), an antebellum cotton plantation with a well-maintained Greek Revival mansion complete with original furnishings and intact outbuildings; the William Johnson complex (consisting of about one-third acre in NPS ownership), which contains the Greek Revival town house of a freed slave who became a successful businessman; and Fort Rosalie (consisting of 32.48 acres being acquired by the NPS), which was built by the French in 1715. Currently, the park has few visitor facilities, although Melrose is open for tours. The purpose of the park is to preserve and interpret the history of the Natchez region from prehistoric to modern times, with an emphasis on the pre- and post-Civil War eras. This final EIS is issued in abbreviated format, presenting minor corrections and revisions of the draft EIS, which is being reissued as a companion document to the final EIS. Three alternatives are under consideration. Under the status quo alternative (Alternative 1), the major change from existing conditions would be the removal of all structures from Fort Rosalie except for the historic Stietenroth house, which would be used for NPS headquarters. The William Johnson house and the adjacent McCallum house would be open for interpretive exhibits on black history, and the Under-the-Hill area near the river would also have interpretive exhibits. Under Alternative 2, the proposed action, a downtown Natchez structure would be purchased and rehabilitated for use as NPS headquarters, with the Stietenroth house to be used as an interim headquarters; the Melrose estate would be restored to an appropriate period; the William Johnson complex would be open for more extensive interpretation of black history; most structures would be removed from Fort Rosalie, and trails and a picnic area added or upgraded, to provide a more parklike setting; a special history study would be conducted to provide necessary data for interpreting the role of plantation slavery and cotton production; and cooperative agreements with local and state governments, businesses, and owners of historic properties would be developed in order to provide technical assistance for preservation and interpretation. Alternative 3 is similar to Alternative 2, except that under Alternative 3 the Stietenroth house would be used as NPS headquarters; additional cooperative agreements concerning tours, special events, and design guidelines would be developed; and the NPS would negotiate a cooperative agreement for the preservation, restoration, and visitor use of an area cotton plantation, or acquire such a plantation itself for visitor use. NPS staff would be increased to 40 under Alternative 2 and to 44 under Alternative 3. Costs of implementing the management plan would range from $5.26 million to $17.24 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under all the alternatives, the bluff near Fort Rosalie would be stabilized to prevent further erosion; interpretation and protection of cultural and historical resources would be enhanced; and increased visitation to the area would benefit the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under Alternative 1, if all structures but the Stietenroth house were removed from Fort Rosalie, nine families and three businesses would be displaced. Under Alternatives 2 and 3, construction of visitor facilities would disturb approximately 6.5 acres and displace small mammals and birds. Increased visitation would increase wear and tear on historic structures and erosion at Fort Rosalie. Activities could also cause local traffic congestion, a lack of parking, and increases in crime.

Preparation date: February 10, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PRICE-SAN RAFAEL RIVERS UNIT, COLORADO RIVER WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM/COLORADO RIVER SALINITY CONTROL PROGRAM, PLANNING REPORT AND FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT, CARBON AND EMERY COUNTIES, UTAH. AN - 36412370; 4448 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to reduce or curb the increase of salt contributed to the Colorado River system from agricultural lands in Carbon and Emery counties, Utah, is proposed. The plan would combine the Price-San Rafael Rivers Unit (Unit) of the Colorado River Water Quality Improvement Plan and the Colorado River Salinity Control Program. At its headwaters in the mountains of north-central Colorado, the Colorado River has a salinity concentration of 50 milligrams per liter (mg/L). The concentration progressively increases downstream as a result of water diversions and salt contributions from a variety of sources. It is estimated that the annual salinity concentrations at Imperial Dam will increase from the 1987 measured average level of 850 mg/L to an average of 970 mg/L by the year 2010 unless additional control measures are implemented to prevent the increase of salinity. Numeric criteria developed on the basis of legal mandates are 723 mg/L below Hoover Dam, 747 mg/L below Parker Dam, and 879 mg/L at Imperial Dam. Unit studies on which the plan was based include an analysis of existing irrigation practices and salt-loading mechanisms in the project area, development of alternatives for reducing the salt contribution, identification of potential beneficial uses of saline water, evaluation of alternatives, and selection of the preferred plan. Studies for the Unit found that of the project area's annual estimated contribution of 430,000 tons of salt, more than half (244,000 tons) is attributable to present irrigation practices as they contribute to groundwater salinity. Of this amount, approximately 70 percent is attributable to the dissolution of salts from the soils and subsurface materials by deep percolating irrigation water, while 28 percent is attributable to canal seepage and 2 percent to stock pond seepage. Under the preferred plan, irrigation practices on approximately 36,000 acres of land would be improved, primarily by the installation of sprinkler systems, and agricultural water would be eliminated from open conveyance systems during the winter, which is the nonirrigation season. The Unit would treat some 16,350 acres of farmland in central Utah with gravity-pressure sprinkler irrigation, approximately 9,650 acres with pump pressure sprinkler systems, and 10,050 acres with improved surface irrigation systems. The sprinkler irrigation component would eliminate 156 miles of open unlined canals and laterals and place 97 miles of off-farm systems in pipelines. Winter water elimination features would include the replacement of 213 existing stockwater ponds, the lining of 83 stock ponds, and the construction of a 10.6-mile pipeline along Cottonwood Creek to deliver raw water to underutilized stockwater lines and to the Orangeville and Castle Dale water treatment plants. Improved irrigation water management practices would also be implemented on these lands. The estimated cost of implementation of the preferred plan is $77.7 million, based on 1989 prices. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the plan implementation of the plan, the annual salt contribution to the Colorado River system would be reduced by 161,000 tons. The cost-effectiveness of the program would be $39 per ton of salt removed. Although total diversions from the river system would remain at the present 178,100 acre-feet per year, the amount of water delivered to farms would increase by 5,930 acre-feet. Fish habitat, which is limited within the area, would improve somewhat due to improved water quality. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project-induced changes in deep percolation would result in net water depletions from the Colorado River amounting to 25,310 acre-feet per year. Construction activities would temporarily disturb 457 acres of upland salt-desert shrub, and alter or eliminate 8,330 acres of irrigation-dependent wetlands. Wetland losses would be mitigated by the purchase and development of wetlands on 330 acres for eventual transfer to the Utah Department of Wildlife Resources for management. Land use changes would adversely impact wildlife and hunting opportunities. Two federally listed threatened species and six endangered species could inhabit the project area or be adversely affected by activities that would occur within the area in association with the plan.

Preparation date: February 7, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WESTERN ENERGY COMPANY COAL LEASE APPLICATION (MTM-80697), ROSEBUD COUNTY, MONTANA. AN - 36410942; 4397 AB - PURPOSE: The leasing to Western Energy Co. (WECo) of 2,061 acres of federal lands containing 35.6 million tons of recoverable coal reserves in Rosebud County, Montana, is proposed. The coal reserves are located in southeastern Montana, approximately ten miles west of the community of Colstrip. WECo holds existing federal coal leases and has been mining in the area since 1968; it currently operates the Rosebud mine, around which lie the lands sought in the lease application. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 2), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (the preferred alternative, Alternative 1), all 2,061 acres of the federal coal lands in the application would be offered for competitive lease as applied for, subject to the standard and special coal lease stipulations for Montana. If WECo were to acquire the lease, the coal would be mined as part of their existing operation. Approximately 914 acres would be mined, and 1,327 acres would be disturbed as part of the mining operation; approximately 734 acres would not be disturbed. Under Alternative 3 (the Cultural Resource Avoidance Alternative), approval of the lease application would also be provided, although 40 acres would be excluded to preserve the Lovelace Memorial site and 30 acres would be excluded to preserve the Petro City site. These sites would be set aside due to their value as traditional cultural properties and intangible spiritual attributes. Under Alternative 3, some 29.1 million tons of coal would be removed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Additional mining activity would take place in proximity to existing mining operations, and so would not substantially alter the character of the area. Employment and revenue impacts of continued mining activity would benefit local socioeconomic conditions; in addition, lease payments made by WECo to Bureau of Land Management would be disbursed among state and local governments for legislatively designated purposes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities would adversely affect geology, topography, and vegetation; adverse soil impacts would include mixing of horizons, and changes in physical, biological, and chemical properties. Raptor and mule deer habitat would be reduced. At least three cultural sites would be lost under either lease approval alternative. After reclamation, there would be a loss of agricultural lands.

AN - 36413329; 4424 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a hazard reduction program around the John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFKIA) in the New York metropolitan area is proposed in order to reduce the probability of sea gull /airplane interactions. The airport is located immediately adjacent to the Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge, consisting of 9,155 acres immediately southwest of the airport. Although the airport ranks 20th nationally in the number of flight operations, it ranks first in the number of birdstrikes; such incidents are considered a safety risk because ingestion of the birds into a jet engine could lead to engine failure. Between 1979 and 1990, birdstrikes at JFKIA have resulted in 47 instances of engine damage, 18 instances of other damage, and 38 aborted takeoffs. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (an integrated management plan), the lethal or nonlethal laughing gull control measures considered most effective would be employed. Lethal methods would include the physical destruction of nests and eggs, the on-airport shooting of any laughing gulls in the airport's airspace, and the shooting of on-colony adults from blinds. Nonlethal methods would involve using synthetic models of dead gulls to discourage laughing gulls from nesting; other nonlethal methods of population control, such as modifying the habitat by mowing, burning, or applying herbicides, were withdrawn from consideration because of the environmental damages that would result. Additional nonlethal methods would involve changing vegetation management, insect control, sanitation, and other programs at JFKIA; and reducing the number of attractants at Aqueduct Race Track and Jamaica Bay Sewage Plant. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the risk of aircraft accidents resulting from birdstrikes would be minimized. Population control methods that are the most effective and have the lowest levels of adverse impact would be identified. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Shooting on the colony site could result in the incidental kill of some nontarget species. LEGAL MANDATES: Animal Damage Control Act of 1931 (7 U.S.C. 426 et seq).

Preparation date: February 4, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FLORIDA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT, FLORIDA. AN - 36411037; 4414 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a resource management plan (RMP) addressing issues relating to future management and mineral ownership of lands currently administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Florida is proposed. The possible placement of certain restrictions on oil and gas exploration and development, and phosphate and limestone mining activities, are the key issues to be addressed by the RMP. The RMP would also determine if tracts should be available for transfer from federal ownership, and identify objectives for management of wildlife habitat, recreation, and other resources and land uses. The lands covered by the RMP would include 395,000 acres of split-estate federal mineral ownership (FMO) located in 59 of the state's 67 counties. On split-estate FMO, the federal government owns all or some of the mineral estate, but the surface estate is owned by the state or private interests. Most of the split-estate FMO, approximately 300,000 acres, lies beneath Blackwater River State Forest, which has potential for oil and gas development, and the Withlacoochee State Forest, which has limestone development potential. The potential for development of phosphate exists on some FMO tracts with private surface ownership. The RMP would also cover several million acres of FMO where the surface is federally owned and managed by other agencies; BLM has certain responsibilities for managing the mineral ownership under federal surface managing agencies (SMAs). There are also 227 acres for which BLM has both surface and minerals management responsibilities and an additional 143 acres, currently withdrawn to the Coast Guard, for which BLM may assume surface management responsibility. These lands are located in seven counties and are referred to as surface tracts. Four alternatives, including a continuation of present management alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative, explicit constraints would be placed on mineral development in order to protect other natural resource values. Limestone mining on the Withlacoochee State Forest would be subject to the consent of the state of Florida. Some surface tracts would provide developed areas for recreation use; others would be managed to protect and enhance natural and cultural resource values. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Management of surface tracts would increase recreation opportunities and use; although, some resource-based recreation opportunities would be adversely affected. The potential for soil and water impacts from leakage of drill fluids or by spills during oil and gas development would be reduced by stipulations requiring the lining of reserve pits, the use of closed-mud systems, or the prohibition of surface occupancy in sensitive areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Oil and gas development, mining, and the development and use of surface tracts would result in fugitive dust from ground disturbance and hydrocarbon emissions from vehicles and machinery. Accidental emissions of pollutants such as sulfur dioxide or hydrogen sulfide gas, and accidental spills of volatile petroleum products during oil and gas well drilling, would also adversely affect air quality. Surface-disturbing activities could result in the irretrievable loss of previously undetected buried cultural resources. Soils would be adversely affected by the mixing of soil horizons, compaction and erosion from oil and gas development, mining, and the use of surface tracts. Soil contamination could result from accidental spills during oil and gas operation; the potential for negative impacts from accidental spills would be significantly reduced by the state stipulations. Surface waters would also be adversely affected by accelerated erosion from areas disturbed by oil and gas development, mining, and the use of surface tracts.

AN - 15223981; 4384 AB - PURPOSE: The conducting of up to 100 extended range tests of target missiles, defensive missiles, and sensor systems at one or more test range areas is proposed for the period from 1994 to 2000. The tests would provide realistic situations for defenses to operate within a simulated theater of operations that would include target missiles. They would involve conducting target and other missile system flights over distances not to exceed 750 miles. The tests are needed to fully validate system design and operation effectiveness of ground-based theater missile defense (TMD) and sensor systems. Potential off-range launch locations could include land areas and sea based platforms. Missile-to- missile intercepts would occur over existing test range areas or over open-sea areas. The four candidate test areas considered in this draft EIS are the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico and Fort Bliss in Texas, with off-range missile launches from sites in New Mexico and Utah; Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) on Santa Rosa Island and at Cape San Blas in Florida, with off-range launches from a sea-based platform in the Gulf of Mexico; Vandenberg AFB, San Nicolas Island, and San Clemente Island in California, with off-range launches from a sea-based platform in the Pacific Ocean; and Kwajalein Missile Range in the Marshall Islands and Wake Island, also with off-range launches from the Pacific. Some combination of test range areas would likely be implemented since no single area would satisfy all test objectives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed activities would provide target flights over distances that are not attainable on most existing ranges and effectively simulate a hostile missile attack against a theater of operations. Hostile missiles would include Scud-type ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and air-to-surface guided missiles launched against a specific target. The U.S. presently has a limited TMD capability; existing air defenses provide a very limited capability for point defense and no capability for area defense of military and geopolitical targets against theater missiles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed testing would require the temporary restriction of recreational access to the islands in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse State Park in Utah, and the closure and evacuation of the Chain of Craters area of El Malpais National Monument in New Mexico. Launches from Utah would require the temporary closure of I-70 during the proposed launches. The influx of support personnel on Kwajalein Island would have significant adverse infrastructure and socioeconomic impacts, and adversely affect cultural resources.

AN - 15224961; 4447 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to reduce or eliminate safety hazards associated with the Crow Creek Dam located on the Crow Creek Sioux Indian Reservation in Buffalo County, South Dakota, is proposed. The earth-fill dam, which was built in the late 1930's, has a crest length of 1,425 feet, a crest width of about 35 feet and a height of about 54.5 feet above the stream bed. Performance of the spillway has been inadequate since the dam was completed, and it is presently in an advanced state of deterioration. Erosion of the spillway from sustained flows could also lead to erosion of the dam embankment and embankment foundation. Because of the condition of the spillway, the dam cannot safely pass significant flood flows without risking the complete failure of the spillway and the earthen dam. The dam is one of 70 dams on Indian reservations determined to represent high or significant safety hazards; in June 1992, it was ranked as the sixth most deficient among those 70 dams. Dam failure would threaten lives and property downstream along the floodplain of Crow Creek unawed the Missouri River to Lake Francis Case, located 2.5 miles downstream from the dam. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under three of the action alternatives, the existing dam would be rehabilitated in order to achieve a design flood capacity of up to 100,00 cubic feet per second (cfs). Under a fourth action alternative, the existing dam would be replaced with a concrete gravity dam with a design flood capacity of 400,000 cfs designed for overtopping. Under a fifth action alternative, a controlled breach of the dam and draining of the reservoir would take place. The estimated costs of the action alternatives range from $3.5 million to $12.6 million. A preferred alternative has not yet been selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under plan implementation, the possibility of a catastrophic dam failure that would destroy lives and property would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Significant rehabilitation of the dam would require draining the reservoir, resulting in unavoidable fish mortality; following rehabilitation, adverse impacts to downstream water users would result from sediment flushing during periods of high water. All of the action alternatives would adversely alter the physical character of the dam and its appearance as a historic structure.

Preparation date: January 25, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NEWBERRY GEOTHERMAL PILOT PROJECT, DESCHUTES NATIONAL FOREST, DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON. AN - 15224036; 4398 AB - PURPOSE: The development by CEE Exploration Company of a geothermal wellfield and the construction and operation of a 33-megawatt (MW) (net) geothermal power plant on federal land administered by the Deschutes National Forest in Deschutes County, Oregon, are proposed. The proposed project would be located on the west flank of Newberry Volcano, on undeveloped federal land used primarily for timber production. The exact boundaries and distribution of the underground geothermal resources are not known; however, exploration has indicated that a considerable resource might exist below the surface. Two action alternatives and a No Action Alternative (Alternative C) are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative B is the preferred alternative. Under both of the action alternatives, development would involve the construction and operation of a power plant, wells, and supporting facilities. The exploration phase of the project would involve construction of new access roads, upgrading existing roads, and drilling and testing different types of wells on a total of 14 well pads, each roughly six acres in size. If the drilling program were successful, then the power plant, pipelines from the wells to the power plant, access roads, a transmission line eight miles long, and a switchyard would be built. The switchyard would be located west of Highway 97 on lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management. The power plant would use ""flash'' technology with a condensing steam turbine and a wet cooling tower. After the water had been cooled, it would be injected in the geothermal reservoir at locations that would help to recharge the resource. The facility would be decommissioned at the end of its commercial life, expected to be 50 years or more. The action alternatives differ from one another in regard to the number of well and power plant sites considered, and the location of the transmission line route. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The construction and operation of the power facility as a pilot project would demonstrate whether or not geothermal energy were a feasible alternative source of energy in the Pacific Northwest. The geothermal energy produced would constitute a clean, domestic source of power. In addition to being a pollution-free source of power, geothermal resources would provide a means of reducing the nation's dependence on foreign sources of energy. The project would provide 25 permanent jobs and local revenue from royalties and property taxes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed project, industrial development would be brought to an area of Forest Service land currently used for forestry, fuelwood gathering, and dispersed recreation. The wilderness character of the North Paulina roadless area would be disturbed. Up to 325 acres of vegetation and wildlife habitat would be lost or modified as a result of planned construction; some isolated adverse effects on threatened and endangered species could occur. Some visual resources would be adversely affected.

AN - 36411168; 4410 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan is proposed in order to address the military uses, economic development, recreational resources, wildlife habitat needs, and access facilities of the Fort Greely Maneuver Area and Air Drop Zone in Alaska. The Fort Greely withdrawal would consist of the 572,000-acre maneuver area and the 52,000-acre air drop zone. The areas are separated by the Richardson Highway south of Delta Junction. The maneuver area stretches 30 to 40 miles west of the highway to the Little Delta River and its tributaries, the West Fork Little Delta, and Buchanan Creek. The northern and southern boundaries are diagonal lines, varying from a little over 20 miles apart in the east to approximately 35 miles apart in the west. The Delta River, which flows northward through the extreme eastern portion of the maneuver area, separates the readily accessible area to the east, with its gun ranges and installations, from the roadless area in the west. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in the final EIS. Under the proposed plan, public access to the lands would be allowed for recreational purposes provided that permission is obtained from the Army at Fort Greely, and nonmilitary uses of road and off- road vehicles would be allowed in certain locations. The Army would undertake efforts to improve the fort's vegetation, develop a habitat management plan, and, in consultation with the Bureau of Land Management, develop a forest plan, cultural resources management plan, and a fire management plan. The habitat management plan would restrict Army and civilian activities in areas critical to sharptail grouse and sheep, and establish zones around water bodies to protect critical habitat. Under the proposed plan, the public's current access to the withdrawn areas would be maintained; and ways to promote the use of forest, recreation, and mineral values without undermining the military's mission would be examined. Military facilities within the withdrawn lands would include firing ranges, impact areas, landing strips, and training and maneuver areas. The area to be withdrawn would be closed to mineral entry and leasing. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the continued use of, and the expansion of the military uses of, the withdrawn areas would be assured. Valuable habitat, vegetative cover, water resources, soil resources, and local socioeconomic uses would be protected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Besides the effects of the military activities for which the land has been withdrawn and which are beyond the scope of this plan, other unavoidable adverse impacts would result from implementation of the management scheme under the proposed plan. Off-road vehicle use would crush some vegetation, primarily in areas near the road network; in particularly high-use areas, off- road vehicle use would also disturb soils. Some soil would erode and sediment would be transported into streams and lakes. Vegetative resources in many areas could remain damaged for decades. Surface disturbances, such as timber harvesting, road and recreation facility construction, and mining would destroy or alter visual and cultural resources.

AN - 36406581; 4409 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan is proposed in order to address military uses, economic development, recreation, wildlife habitat, and access in association with the use of the Fort Wainwright Maneuver Area in Alaska. The maneuver area, commonly known as the Yukon Maneuver Area, is a tract of approximately 248,000 acres in the Fairbanks North Star Borough southeast of the city of Fairbanks. It is roughly rectangular in shape, spanning 28 miles east-to-west and 17.5 miles north-to- south; it encompasses much of the land between the Chena and Salcha rivers northeast of the Richardson Highway. Tributaries of the two rivers flow through the area at the bases of 2,000-foot hills, which predominate all but the extreme western portion of the maneuver area. Entrance into the withdrawn lands from the Richardson Highway can be gained through the main gate of Eielson Air Force Base and via Johnson Road. Military facilities within the withdrawn areas include firing ranges, impact areas, landing strips, and training and maneuver areas. The area to be withdrawn would be closed to mineral entry and leasing. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS.

AN - 36408850; 4411 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a 20-year land and resource management plan for the Kingman Resource Area (KRA) of Arizona is proposed. The KRA encompasses over 2.4 million acres of public land surface and about 2.0 million acres of federal mineral estate in the northwestern portion of the state south of Lake Mead and the Hualapai Indian Reservation. It is characterized by large areas of checkerboard ownership. A wide variety of multiple uses takes place on the planning area, and public use has increased steadily in recent years due to population growth in and around Kingman and Bullhead City. Focal issues addressed include the effects on recreation planning and off-highway vehicles; special area designations; wildlife habitat, and threatened and endangered species; riparian and wetland area management; land tenure; and salable, locatable, and leasable minerals. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would continue current management practices, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 2), management would open approximately 1.56 million acres of federal minerals to locatable mineral exploration and development. It would also include recreational planning, off-highway-vehicle (OHV) use, special area designations, wildlife habitat with special provisions for endangered species, riparian area management, land tenure, and salable, locatable, and leasable minerals. KRA lands designated as general management areas generally do not contain unusual characteristics and are not subject to unusual demands requiring special management attention. Management guidelines for these areas would remain similar to current management practices, with the following emphases: (1) the designation of OHV use as open or limited to existing roads, trails, and washes; (2) the issuance of sales and free-use permits as appropriate for vegetative products and minerals; (3) the provision for primitive motorized and primitive nonmotorized recreation; and (4) the transferral of lands deemed to be necessary from federal ownership, preferably through exchanges. For lands requiring special management, usually due to exceptional scenic, natural, or recreational values, management guidelines would emphasize enhancement of resource values, while allowing multiple uses. The following management guidelines would apply to these latter lands: (1) the closure and rehabilitation of roads where no public or administrative need exists; (2) the designation of OHV use as limited or closed; (3) the implementation of special coordinated resource management plans to protect the fragile character and unique resource values of specific areas; (4) the retention of land in federal ownership unless otherwise required by law; and (5) the provision of primitive motorized and nonmotorized recreational access. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the management plan, the continued multiple exploitative and nonexploitative uses of KRA lands and minerals would be allowed. Sensitive resources for present and future generations would be protected. The local economy could benefit from the placement of more developable lands in private ownership, thereby increasing the tax base. Some ownership adjustment could provide jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed plan, the exploitation of mineral resources would be prevented on the 179,600 acres of disposed land. The designation of areas of critical environmental concern, the special status species provisions, and the hazardous materials management requirements would also limit mineral exploitative developments of 1 percent of federal minerals. Other management actions would adversely affect land actions, local economies, the harvesting of vegetative products, watershed management, rangeland management, cultural resources, recreation management, wildlife habitat, riparian areas, and wild horses and burros. Surface-disturbing activities could cause increased runoff and erosion, reduced vegetation cover, reduced soil productivity, and increased production of dust.

AN - 36398764; 4438 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to minimize downstream impacts from the operation of the Glen Canyon Dam along the Colorado River in Coconino County, Arizona, is proposed. The project area extends from Lake Powell, formed by Glen Canyon Dam in northwestern Arizona, southward through Glen and Marble canyons and westward through the Grand Canyon to Lake Mead. The uppermost 15 miles of the river are in Glen Canyon, which is part of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area; the remaining 278 miles of the river flow through Grand Canyon National Park. Four Indian reservations are located in or near the project area. Issues identified during the scoping process include the effects of dam operations on the amount of quality of water available from Lake Powell at specific times, and the effects of that flow on sediment resources, fish, wildlife, vegetation, recreation opportunities, and cultural resources. A No Action Alternative and eight action alternatives specifying various flow patterns are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (the Modified Low Fluctuating Flow Alternative), daily fluctuations would be substantially reduced from historic levels, and special high steady releases of short duration would be provided, with the goal of protecting or enhancing downstream resources while allowing limited flexibility for power operations. Minimum flows would be no less than 8,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM, and 5,000 cfs at night. The maximum rate of release would be limited to 20,000 cfs during fluctuating hourly releases, and any releases greater than that would be made in response to high inflow and storage conditions. Habitat maintenance flows, high steady releases for one to two weeks in March, would be used in order to re-form backwaters and maintain sandbars, which are important for camping beaches and wildlife habitat. Endangered species research would be conducted in order to study the effects of these flow patterns on selected fish species in the Colorado River. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, program implementation would improve fish, vegetation, wildlife, and cultural resources, relative to under the No Action Alternative. The aquatic food base could increase significantly. Vegetation and wildlife would increase by up to 47 percent on unstable sandbars. The net economic benefits would be $3.74 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Unavoidable loss of peaking power would result from the implementation of any of the flow patterns that fluctuated or restricted the flow pattern. Numerous archaeological sites in the area have already been adversely affected by the continued operation of the dam, and those effects would be somewhat lessened by the reduced frequency of flooding which would occur under the preferred alternative. However, the Navajo Nation claims that flood frequency reduction measures would prevent the full development of a planned irrigation project.

BLM's goal is to have 75 percent of its riparian-wetlands functioning properly by 1997. This document supplements TR 1737-9 and provides a thought process for assessing functioning condition of lentic riparian-wetland areas. The status of some lentic riparian-wetland areas will be relatively easy to discern while the status of others will be less evident. Appendix A contains the minimum national standards that BLM field offices will use in making this assessment for lentic riparian-wetland areas. For hard-to-discern areas, Ecological Site Inventory may be the only method to determine capability and potential and assess functionality. Using either method requires an interdisciplinary team to adequately address the complexities associated with lentic riparian-wetland areas and to report their functioning condition. The lack of specific information will place many lentic riparian-wetland areas into the category of unknown. In order for BLM to make an adequate assessment of progress towards its goal, it is imperative that areas for which no data exists be evaluated and added to the data base. As information is acquired and resource values are identified, best management practices need to be set in motion. Successful management strategies have to address the entire watershed, as upland and riparian-wetland areas are interrelated and cannot be considered separately. JF - Technical Reference - U. S.

(For a full discussion of the alternative to the Proposed Plan and their environmental consequences, see the draft version of this plan dated September 1988.) The Military Lands Withdrawal Act of 1986 establishes the primary uses of this land as military maneuvering and training. The Proposed Plan and the alternatives present a variety of combinations of proposals addressing the natural resources of the withdrawal and their nonmilitary uses. The "no action" alternative (Alternative A) would continue current management. The other alternatives represent a range of choices emphasizing military use, habitat protection, recreation, and economic development. The document goes on the describe the affected environment and the environmental consequences of the Proposed Plan and summaries of the consequences of the alternatives. It also presents public comment made on the draft of this document and the planning team's response to the comments. JF - BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT, ANCHORAGE, AK 99513 (USA). 1994.

Previously acceptable hazardous-waste disposal practices and accidental releases of various fuels and solvents during the past several decades have resulted in contamination of soil and ground water in the vicinity of the lake. As part of an assessment of the risk that subsurface contamination poses to the quality of water in the lake, the subsurface hydrology of the UIC-NARL main camp was examined. The study area is located approximately 530 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, on the northern coast of Alaska, and the short annual thaw season and the presence of shallow, areally continuous permafrost restrict hydrologic processes. A transient ground-water system is present within the active layer-the shallow subsurface layer that thaws each summer and refreezes each winter. Water-level and thaw-depth data collected during the summers of 1993 and 1994 show that the configurations of both the water table and the subsurface frost govern the ground-water flow system in the UIC-NARL main camp and indicate that recharge to and discharge from the system are small. Spatial irregularities in the vertical extent of the active layer result from variations in land-surface elevation, variations in soil type, and the presence of buildings and other structures that either act as a heat source or block heat transfer to and from the subsurface. Distinct features in the active-layer hydrologic system in the UIC-NARL main camp include a permafrost ridge, which generally acts as a flow-system divide between the Arctic Ocean and inland water bodies; a mound in the water table, which indicates increased impedance to ground-water flow toward Imikpuk Lake and acts as a flow-system divide between the lake and Middle Salt Lagoon; and a depression in the water table, which suggests a local breach in the permafrost ridge that allows some ground water to flow directly from the main camp to the Arctic Ocean. Similar thaw depths and water-table elevations were measured during the summers of 1993 and 1994, and little change occurred in the thickness of the ground-water zone between mid- and late-thaw-season measurements. These data suggest that the system is in a state of quasi-equilibrium and that ground-water discharge is small. The observed drop in the water table as the active layer develops over the summer is probably largely the result of evapotranspiration losses rather than system outflow.

AN - 15222128; 4436 AB - PURPOSE: The transfer of 1083.77 acres of public land from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to Twin Falls County, Idaho, is proposed for the construction and operation of an integrated solid waste management facility. The proposed site is located ten miles south of the city of Twin Falls on gentle sloping rangeland with a mixture of grass and sagebrush cover. Focal issues identified in the scoping process include the effects on grazing activity, namely grazing permits, grazing patterns, range improvements, and rangeland resources; wildlife, including threatened and endangered species; cultural resources; visual resources and air quality; socioeconomics; and ground water supplies. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the facility would include solid waste cells lined with a suitable material to impede the movement of any leachate accumulation beyond the cell boundaries; fences to contain any excess litter; an area to store excavated topsoil and another area to store other excavated materials; a composting area for grass clippings and other organic materials; a gravity flow network of perforated pipe designed to collect any accumulation of leachate and channel it to a common collection area (leachate collection pond); two series of ditches around the facility to capture any surface runoff and divert to a retention basin; and a 1,350-square-foot field office with restrooms, a break area, employee locker rooms, and solid waste offices. Throughout the life of the project, landfill operations would use no more than 80 acres; six monitoring wells, each roughly 220 feet deep, would be used for monitoring ground water. A two-mile paved access road would be built from the intersection of 3100 North and 2800 East to the intersection of 290 North and 2800 East. Livestock grazing would be allowed on all areas that were not part of the active landfill, but no commercial or industrial activities would be permitted. As each succeeding cell were filled and closed, it would be shaped with adequate topsoil and reseeded. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the landfill would provide a means of disposing of solid waste generated by Twin Falls County. The landfill presently operated by the county is not in compliance with regulations with an effective date of April 1994; developing a new site would be more cost effective than bringing the current site into compliance. The proposed site would be located two miles south of the existing site, and the shutdown of the existing site and the startup of the proposed site would have a net positive effect on air quality. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Although the natural topography of the site would shield the new facility from viewing by the general public, the facility would adversely alter the present landscape. The construction and operation of the new facility would result in fee increases for county residences and businesses.

AN - 36400531; 4319 AB - PURPOSE: The leasing of land for oil and gas exploration and development is proposed for the Helena National Forest and the Elkhorn Mountain portion of the Deerlodge National Forest in Montana. The 853,200-acre study area is located within all or part of three distinct mountain ranges: the Big Belts, the Elkhorns, and the Continental Divide of the Northern Rockies. The area contains many diverse habitats ranging from the Missouri River bottoms to alpine mountain peaks. Focal issues identified in the scoping process include the effects of leasing on big game; inventoried roadless areas and wilderness areas; biological diversity; threatened, endangered, and sensitive species; recreation opportunities and experience; cultural resources; socioeconomic conditions; and soil, air, and water. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 2), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 5, the Forest Plan Alternative), the extent and conditions of leasing would comply with the leasing direction set forth in the forest plan. Of the 853,200 acres legally available for leasing, a no-surface-occupancy stipulation would apply to 213,600 acres; a controlled-surface-use stipulation or a timing limitation would apply to 587,300 acres; and standard lease terms of the Bureau of Land Management would apply to 60,000 acres. In addition, the following special stipulations would be included under Alternative 5: if a well were located in an area with known sensitive plant species, the well could be relocated more than the standard 200 meters from the plant location; wells would not be permitted within one mile of a bald eagle nest, one half mile of a developed recreation site, or one quarter mile of a wild and scenic river candidate. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Over the 15 year period that is considered in this draft EIS, the projected lease revenues would be an estimated $11.4 million. Construction and drilling activities would provide temporary employment opportunities for the local work force. The estimated payroll for drilling any one of the four projected wildcat wells is $1.18 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Air pollutant emissions from gas-driven field engines and emergency gas flaring could be significant in the area. Soils, vegetation, and wildlife and livestock forage in the immediate drilling areas would be disturbed. Exploratory activities would likely displace grizzly bears and other big game animals from the immediate area for a period of about one year; the impact would be greater if it were located in a key seasonal range. Any development activity in a roadless area would compromise the area's wilderness character and adversely affect its future status as a designated wilderness area.

Preparation date: December 27, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RAIL-CYCLE BOLO STATION LANDFILL, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF NOVEMBER 1992). AN - 36398744; 4372 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a Class III nonhazardous municipal solid waste landfill at the Bolo Station site near the city of Amboy in San Bernardino County, California, is proposed. The proposed site consists of 4,870 acres located near Bristol Dry Lake in the eastern Mojave Desert, between Cadiz and Amboy along the rail line of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway Company (ATSF). Approximately 2,100 acres of the proposed site would be used for landfilling, 300 acres would be used for support facilities, and the remaining 2,470 acres would be used as a buffer zone. The proposed facility would be operated by Rail-Cycle, a limited partnership between ATSF and Waste Management of North America, Inc.; the facility would be designed to accommodate up to 21,000 tons of waste per day. Initial operation would begin with 3,000 tons of waste per day and increase to 21,000 tons per day within five to seven years. Waste would be transported in sealed 40- to 45-foot containers by rail from various areas of southern California to an on-site container off-loading facility. The containers would then be transported a short distance and emptied. Land at the proposed site is currently owned by ATSF and the federal government, and is administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The proposed action would involve an exchange of public land for sections of land owned by ATSF outside the project area. This draft supplement to the draft EIS of November 1992 contains minor revisions to the proposed action, and additional analysis of the impacts of the proposed action on geology and soils, surface hydrology and groundwater, mineral resources, air quality, and noise. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed landfill would help meet the solid waste disposal needs of many cities and counties in southern California. The rural setting would minimize concerns related to land-use compatibility. The landfill operation would generate 267 direct jobs and 167 indirect jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Bolo Station site is located seven miles west of an area of potential volcanic activity. Some potential would exist for surface water contamination from the discharge of storm water contaminated on-site; furthermore, groundwater could be contaminated from leachate migrating through a leak in the liner sealing the storm water collection basin or from landfill gas migrating through the liner. The extraction of 75 acre-feet of water per year for on-site purposes would adversely affect the aquifer if it were overdrafted. The project would result in the loss of 2,700 acres of vegetation and wildlife habitat, which would threaten the desert tortoise and kit fox. Air quality would be degraded as a result of various emission sources associated with the landfill, including fugitive landfill gases, landfill flare, locomotives at the site, and heavy-duty construction equipment. The area is currently classified as a nonattainment area for particulate matter and ozone; project operations would aggravate current exceedances. The landfill and its associated operations would substantially change the visual character of the site in a way that is not compatible with the open-space element of the county general plan. Small quantities of diesel fuel, waste oil, and other hazardous substances would be deposited in the landfill.

Preparation date: December 16, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF THE PROPOSED BANGOR HYDROELECTRIC COMPANY'S SECOND 345-KILOVOLT TRANSMISSION TIE LINE TO NEW BRUNSWICK. AN - 36398730; 4318 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 345-kilovolt (kV) transmission line is proposed in order to connect New Brunswick, Canada, with the electrical systems maintained by Bangor Hydroelectric Company in Maine. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and various power generation and conservation measures possible if the permit were denied, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed new interconnection would consist of an 83.8-mile 345-kV alternating current transmission line from the U.S.-Canadian border at Baileyville, Maine, to an existing substation in Orrington, Maine. The Orrington substation would be expanded to accommodate the new transmission line; new facilities would include lattice steel support structures, circuit breakers and associated switches, relays, and control equipment and wiring. In addition, two other substations would be upgraded to accommodate the new power loads throughout the New England Power Pool system. The new transmission line would allow for the importation of 600 megawatts (MW) of firm capacity that the New Brunswick Power Commission of Canada has proposed to sell. Without this line, only 300 MW could be imported through Bangor's existing 345-kV tie line. The first 71.6 miles of the proposed line would be located within a 170-foot-wide right-of-way; roughly 90 percent of the proposed route would traverse commercial timberland. The remaining 12.2 miles would share right-of-way space with the existing tie line. Under the proposed action, the issuance of a Presidential Permit authorizing the international interconnection would be required. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed transmission line would enhance the sharing of power between Canada and New England, thereby reducing reserve generation requirements by sharing capacity during emergencies and improving the reliability of the overall transmission system. A new tie line would also reduce the transmission line losses now experienced along the existing tie line, estimated at 38 MW or $17.8 million annually. With the proposed line equally sharing transmission with existing line, line losses would drop to 14 MW, representing an annual energy loss of less than $6.6 million. Therefore, the new line would reduce costs from line losses by almost $11.3 million per year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, about 1,625 acres would be converted from present uses to project-related uses. Of this total, less than five acres would be permanently converted to project-related uses precluding eventual use for wildlife habitat or a similar purpose. The potential of the collision of birds with the structures would exist. The line would adversely affect aesthetic resources through visual intrusion. Possible health and safety effects associated with electromagnetic radiation would also exist; a total of 98 dwellings would be located within 600 feet of the proposed route.

Preparation date: December 16, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WALLOWA RIVER WILD AND SCENIC RIVER STUDY REPORT AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT, UNION AND WALLOWA COUNTIES, OREGON. AN - 36415245; 4354 AB - PURPOSE: The inclusion of a ten-mile segment of the Wallowa River, in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, in Union and Wallowa counties, Oregon, is proposed. The river is located in northeast Oregon and drains 928 square miles in the central portion of the Grande Ronde basin. From its origin in the Wallowa Mountains in the Eagle Cap Wilderness, the river flows north to Wallowa Lake. The one-half-mile-wide study corridor, which encompasses approximately 2,900 acres, is predominately in private ownership (1,958 acres); approximately 602 acres are part of a state park; and the remaining acreage is administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative D), the entire study segment from Minam to Rondowa would be added to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System through application to the Secretary of the Interior by the Governor of Oregon. As a result of this method of designation, the entire corridor would be managed by the state without any federal assistance except for BLM's management of its land. Dam construction would be prohibited along the segment as would other exploitative uses, although minor stream bank erosion control methods could be used if they enhanced resource protection or reduced existing adverse impacts. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The inclusion of the ten-mile segment in the National Wild and Scenic River System would protect the free-flowing character of the Wallowa River for fish, wildlife, and recreationists. State management of the river would be administratively effective because fish and wildlife populations are already managed by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. The proposed designation would also provide a link among other wild and scenic rivers in the state, thereby improving fisheries and anadromous populations throughout the basin. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed designation would diminish timber-related jobs slightly.

BONNER BRIDGE (BRIDGE NO. 11) OVER OREGON INLET, DARE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36409289; 4368 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Herbert C. Bonner Bridge on North Carolina 12 (NC 12) crossing the Oregon Inlet in Dare County, North Carolina, is proposed. The bridge was built across Oregon Inlet in 1962 and is approaching the end of its service life. It is part of NC 12 and provides the only highway connection between Hatteras Island and Brodie Island along North Carolina's Outer Banks. The replacement structure would serve the same function and be built in a corridor paralleling the existing bridge. Two alternatives are considered in this draft EIS, including a No Action Alternative, which would assume that the Bonner bridge would be demolished at and be replaced by a small-scale ferry service. The new structure would provide a 36-foot clear roadway with two 12-foot wide lanes and six feet of lateral clearance on each side. The length of the entire project would be approximately 3.2 miles, including approximately 2.5 miles of bridge structure. The bridge spans placed in the Inlet, for a distance of approximately 5,000 feet, would have a minimum horizontal navigation clearance of 200 feet and a vertical clearance of 65 to 75 feet. Under the proposed action, the bridge would connect with the existing alignment of NC 12 as soon as possible on both islands. The design, however, would accommodate the future relocation of NC 12 on the north end of Hatteras Island. The existing bridge would be demolished. In a related action, the Corps of Engineers would continue its regular dredging of the navigation channel through the inlet, use the sand behind the terminal groin on the north end of Hatteras Island to nourish beaches at locations where NC 12 is currently threatened by overwash, and build two jetties to stabilize the shoulders of the inlet and the shoreline. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The replacement of the existing bridge would increase safety for vehicular traffic and provide continued access to Hatteras Island for residents and tourists. Safety would be enhanced primarily by the widening of the shoulder widths by four feet, the reduction of the number of accidents on the bridge, and the facilitation of emergency evacuations. The design of the new bridge would take into account natural channel migration expected through the year 2050 and provide the flexibility to let the channel move. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: On both sides of the bridge, the project would be within the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, and within the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge on the Hatteras side. Approximately 33.3 acres of wetlands would be disturbed by construction; 6.8 acres would be permanently displaced. Some bird foraging and nesting habitat would also be disturbed.

AN - 36406821; 4440 AB - PURPOSE: The lining of 33.4 miles of the Coachella Canal in the southern California desert is proposed in order to prevent the loss of water through seepage. The water in the canal is diverted from the Colorado River at Imperial Dam. The canal begins at the turnout on the All-American Canal near the international boundary with Mexico and runs through the desert, east of the Salton Sea, before it enters the irrigated area of the Coachella Valley Water District. The canal was excavated through desert soil in the 1940's and began operating in 1948. The first 49 miles of the canal were lined in 1980 to conserve water; the last 37 miles were lined when the canal was originally built. The lining of the intervening section of 33.4 miles was deferred because the gravel and clay soil in this section was relatively successful in retaining water; however, each year this portion of the canal loses roughly 32,350 acre-feet of water through seepage. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (the Conventional Lining Alternative), the existing canal would be lined using conventional construction methods while diverting water around each section, between siphons, permitting work to take place under dry conditions. Construction would begin at the downstream end of the project at siphon 32 and proceed upstream on a section-by-section basis. A second construction operation could be carried out simultaneously, beginning near the midpoint of the canal and proceeding upstream. Each section of the existing canal would be dewatered by bypass pumping of the canal flow around the section. The water would be conveyed through a portable set of 72-inch temporary pipelines from just above the upstream siphon to just below the downstream siphon. Up to five pipelines would used, requiring the clearing of up to 275 acres for the entire project. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $55.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: With the canal lining, California's usable supply of water from the Colorado River would be increased by 25,680 acre-feet per year. Water delivery would be permitted during the construction under the preferred alternative. Construction activities would return some $22 million to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Elimination of seepage would reduce the amount of ground water available to seepage-induced vegetation and result in the loss of wetlands that provide habitat for some endangered species. Up to 4,293 acres of wetlands, including 112 acres of marsh, could be lost as a result of lining the canal. Fish population in the canal would decline as a result of eliminating canal bank vegetation. Deer and other large mammals that drink from the canal could be endangered by the steep, slippery slopes of the concrete lining, although the risk of drowning would be mitigated by providing continuous escape ridges along the lining. Some sensitive archaeological sites related to the ancient Lake Cahuilla could be adversely affected.

AN - 36409897; 4334 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed for 50,000 acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public lands within the Clear Creek management area in San Benito and Fresno counties in central California. Approximately 30,000 acres of this land are within an existing serpentine area of critical environmental concern (ACEC), so designated because of the high concentrations of naturally occurring asbestos occurring in its serpentine soil. The presence of asbestos creates health concerns because vehicles on unpaved roads, trails, and barren slopes generate asbestos fibers, which can be inhaled by visitors. In addition, the management area is host to a unique assemblage of plants, including the San Benito evening primrose, a federally protected species. Because of these issues, a major objective of a management plan for the area is to regulate off-highway vehicle (OHV) use while satisfying the public's recreational demands. Six alternatives are considered in this draft EIS, including a No Action Alternative, which would continue the existing management practices. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 4), unrestricted OHV use would be permitted on backcountry roads and trails within selected portions of the Clear Creek watershed. The designated routes and open areas would be determined by an erosion hazard inventory and analysis. OHV use would be intensively managed to minimize erosion and control off-site sediment transport. Camping would be prohibited in the watershed, except in designated campgrounds. OHV restrictions (fences and barriers) and watershed stabilization improvements (stream armoring and silt traps) would be built in sensitive riparian zones and other areas prone to high-erosion damage. The San Benito Mountain Natural Area would be expanded to include other unique sensitive ecological areas. Public vehicle access would be restricted to prevent unnecessary health and safety risks from dry and dusty road conditions. The public would have access to a vehicle washrack and asbestos air concentrations would be posted. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, erosion rates would be reduced by 71 percent over present levels. Increased limitations on OHV use would improve riparian, vernal pool, and terrace habitats, and also their associated plant and animal communities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Although airborne asbestos would be reduced by as much as 50 percent over present levels under the preferred alternative, roughly two persons out of 100,000 who visit the area would run an elevated risk of contracting an asbestos-related illness. Areas in which OHV use is permitted would continue to experience high levels of soil and vegetative disturbance.

AN - 36410945; 4362 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed for 291,000 acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public land surface and 1.4 million acres of subsurface federal mineral estate within the Wyoming portion of the Newcastle Resource Area in northeastern Wyoming. This area includes all public lands in Crook, Niobrara, and Weston counties. Focal issues identified in the scoping process include the retention or disposal of public lands; surface disturbance; and special management areas designations. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative, which was developed by combining parts of Alternatives A, B, and C, the federal mineral estate would be open to minerals sale and development, subject to appropriate restrictions. Oil and gas parcels would be leased under current state standard stipulations and mitigation guidelines. Coal classifications on about 194,500 acres of federal coal lands would be terminated. The collection of paleontological resources would be managed through a permit system; two areas of critical environmental concern (ACEC) would be designated in order to protect existing fossils. No development would be allowed in close proximity to historic sites, recreation areas, floodplains, wetlands, and other sensitive areas. Wildlife habitat would be managed to promote biodiversity and to provide a prey base for predatory species; prairie dog control would not be permitted unless a prairie dog town has created substantial habitat damage. Approximately 11,935 acres of forest land would be managed by implementing sound silvicultural practices that include two- or three-cut shelterwood-harvest, commercial, and pre-commercial thinnings; allowable harvesting levels would be set at 4.7 million board feet per decade. Authorized grazing on managed lands would not exceed 48,000 animal unit months. Motorized vehicle use would be restricted to roads and designated trails. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, natural resources would be protected while permitting reasonable levels of economic development to take place; this would reflect policy and management changes since the predecessor plan was implemented in 1981. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some land designations and management strategies would conflict with existing or proposed land uses. Restrictions placed on development, particularly within ACECs, could result in the loss of opportunities to develop mineral resources.

AN - 36389889; 4312 AB - PURPOSE: The designation of certain public lands for oil and gas leasing, exploration, and development within the Hollister Resource Area within Monterey, San Benito, Fresno, Madera, and Merced counties in central California is proposed. The resource area includes approximately 310,000 acres of public lands, and 385,000 acres of private lands with federal ownership of subsurface minerals. The management of public lands within the resource area is guided by the Resource Management Plan (RMP) adopted in 1984. Focal issues identified during the public scoping process include the effects of oil and gas exploration and development on air quality; threatened, endangered, and other special-status plants and animals; visual quality; and groundwater and surface water quality; and the effects of any new restrictions on mineral exploration and development. Five alternatives, including a Continuation of Current Management Practices Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative D), the continued exploratory drilling on public lands would be allowed, but certain restrictions would be imposed in order to minimize adverse impacts. Under these restrictions, the Squaw Leap Management Area, the California Coastal Zone, the Monterey Peninsula watershed, and other lands under consideration for wilderness designation totaling 23,782 acres would not be available for leasing. In addition, some 4,120 acres of land within the foreground viewshed of the Pinnacles National Monument would be subject to a no-surface-occupancy stipulation; and 168,160 acres of land that contain the potential or known habitats of three threatened or endangered species would be subject to a special endangered species stipulation which would, in effect, be a no-surface-occupancy stipulation. Under the preferred alternative, some 476,540 acres of land (182,688 acres of private land and 273,880 acres of public land) would be available for leasing under standard leasing terms. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Oil and gas development in the area would benefit the local economy. The restrictions under the RMP would help minimize the adverse impacts of such development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The continued operation of the Jacilitos and Kettleman North Dome oil fields could jeopardize three threatened or endangered plants (San Joaquin woolly-threads, California jewelflower, and Hoover's woolly-star) and two plants that are being considered for designation as threatened or endangered (hollisteria and forked fiddleneck), particularly if drought conditions persist. Exploration and development in chaparral habitats could also destroy habitat for another plant being considered for a threatened and endangered species listing (one-eyed spineflower). The continued operation of two other oil fields in the area could result in the loss of the endangered San Joaquin kit fox and blunt-nosed leopard lizard populations. The increased emissions of air pollutants from drilling equipment would contribute to Fresno County's problems in meeting federal air quality standards.

Preparation date: November 26, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BENT'S OLD FORT NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE, OTERO COUNTY, COLORADO. AN - 36415280; 4340 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for development and visitor use of Bent's Old Fort Historic Site in Otero County, Colorado, is proposed. The site, which occupies approximately 800 acres in southeastern Colorado, is located along the Mountain Route of the Santa Fe Trail. It served as an important trading post for trappers and travelers from the 1850s to the 1870s. Focal issues addressed in relation to the management plan include visitor use, resource management, and operations. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the scope of the interpretive program would be expanded to emphasize the fort's historic importance and its role in the westward expansion of the U.S. and the development of intercultural relations with the Mexicans and the American Indians. A visitor center would be built near the park entrance to facilitate the interpretation, and parking and picnic facilities would be expanded; administrative offices would be moved from the fort to the visitor center. The native prairie would be restored throughout the park, and any exotic vegetation would be removed. Building design and siting would be sensitive to the goal of maintaining an environment representative of the historical setting that existed during the Bent period (1833-1849). A cultural landscape report would be completed to determine the landscape's significance and potential eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. A 40-acre parcel of land now in private ownership would be acquired. The estimated cost of implementing the proposed action is $6.3 million. Under the other action alternative, interpretive media would be added but not a visitors' center. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, visitor understanding and appreciation of the fort's historic significance would be enhanced. Restoration of native vegetation would create a more healthy ecosystem and provide cover and feed for prairie dogs and other species. The net effect of the proposal would be a reduction of developed land from 13 percent to 1 percent of total park area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Park operations would be temporarily disrupted by construction and relocation activities.

AN - 36415306; 4342 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a 15-year management plan is proposed for City of Rocks National Reserve, a scenic and historic area in Cassia County in south-central Idaho. The site is so named because of a cluster of large granite formations that contrast markedly with the generally flat terrain and are visible for many miles. It was used by the Shoshone, and by emigrants traveling along the California Trail, as a campground. It was designated a national historic landmark in 1964, and in 1987 its boundaries were revised to encompass some 12,480 acres. It includes roughly nine miles of the California Trail and Salt Lake Alternate route corridors, comprising some of the best preserved remnants of such overland emigrant routes in the nation. In 1988, it was added to the National Park System. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed management plan (Alternative 2), the California Trail and associated landmarks, the exceptional rock outcrops and associated habitats, and the historic character of the rural setting would be preserved. Visitors would be given the opportunity to walk the entire length of the California Trail within the reserve and the Circle Creek encampment area. Grazing would be phased out on 2,192 acres (from 12,913 acres to 10,721 acres), and recreational activities would be prohibited in areas where those activities would disturb the historic character. Elsewhere, recreational opportunities would be expanded. Climbing, hiking, and camping would be supported in prime recreational areas, such as the southern arm of the rock crescent and the Indian Grove area. Hunting would be permitted in certain areas. Few facilities would be built within the boundaries of the site; the visitor center and other administrative buildings would be placed outside the east boundary so as not to compromise the historic character of the site. Another action alternative would provide more interpretive programs for the California Trail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the cultural resource values of the area would be preserved and visitor experiences enhanced. Visitors would have the opportunity to appreciate the California Trail, free of competing activities and conflicting development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Livestock grazing and water uses would adversely affect up to 541 acres of wetlands and riparian habitat, but to a lesser extent than they do now. Development of trails, campsites, and access roads would disturb eight acres of vegetation. Restrictions on grazing could create some economic hardships for area ranchers. LEGAL MANDATES: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), Public Law 100-696, and Public Law 102-398.

Preparation date: November 19, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - STAGE 2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT/ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE LOS VAQUEROS PROJECT, CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36406554; 4376 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to reduce saltwater intrusion into water supplied to customers of the Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) of Concord, California, is proposed. CCWD provides water to approximately 400,000 retail and wholesale customers throughout north-central and east Contra Costa County. The current water supply is subject to substantial variations in quality during seasonal periods of saltwater intrusion from San Francisco Bay into the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, CCWD's water source. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, a new reservoir, to be called the Los Vaqueros reservoir, would be built within the Kellogg Creek watershed; a new supplemental intake at Old River No. 5 site would also be built. The reservoir would cover approximately 1,460 acres and have a storage capacity of 100,000 acre-feet (af), with a maximum allocation of 56,000 af of emergency storage, 30,000 af of water quality enhancement storage, 10,000 af of unused storage, and 4,000 af of evaporation storage. During critical periods when an insufficient amount of high-quality water was available directly from the delta, water from the reservoir would be released and blended with water from the delta to achieve CCWD's water quality goal. The reservoir would be filled between November 1 and June 30, when surplus water of adequate quality would normally be available in the delta. The dam for the reservoir would be an earthen embankment approximately 192 feet high, to be located on Kellogg Creek 7 miles south of Brentwood. Related construction projects would include a new supplemental intake and fish screen facility in the delta, 5 to 10 miles from the reservoir site, with a new electric transmission line to supply power and new pipelines to convey water from the new intake location to the reservoir; a transfer reservoir (approximately 10 af); a pumping plant for diverting the required flows from the delta to the reservoir or the Contra Costa Canal; and a 96-inch-diameter, 12-mile-long pipeline for delivering water to and from the pumping plant. The project would require the relocation of Vasco Road, an important regional roadway, as well as of an electric transmission line and other utility facilities. Overall development costs are estimated to be $28.5 million to $34.2 million; annual operating costs at project buildout are estimated to be $2.3 million to $2.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing high-quality water during periods when the delta waters are high in salinity, the reservoir would provide storage for water that could be used during an emergency, such as a major levee failure or chemical spill in the delta waterway. In addition, numerous trails, picnic areas, and other recreational facilities would be constructed around the reservoir. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, some 12 acres of land classified as being prime, unique, or of statewide importance would be permanently altered; and some eight residences within the Kellogg Creek watershed would be relocated. Approximately 180 acres of valley oak woodland would be lost in the inundation area of the reservoir as well as 542 acres of annual grasslands and 737 acres of dryland farmed grasslands. The project would also adversely affect about three acres of willow cottonwood riparian woodland along creeks and other major drainages. Development of recreational facilities would significantly add to traffic congestion in the area. Scenic views would be adversely affected by the high visibility of the electric transmission line at the intake facility site and the creation of an unvegetated exposed ring around the reservoir when drawn down during critical periods.

Preparation date: November 18, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FORT LARAMIE NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE, GOSHEN COUNTY, WYOMING. AN - 36412686; 4361 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Fort Laramie National Historic Site in Goshen County, Wyoming, is proposed. The 832.85-acre site is located 18 miles northwest of the town of Torrington on the floodplains of the North Platte and Laramie rivers, below the surrounding high plains. The site played a pivotal role in America's westward expansion from 1834 to 1890, serving as a fur trading post and as an instrumental military fort during the Indian Wars. Historic trails and routes that passed through Fort Laramie include the Oregon Trail, the California Trail, the Mormon Pioneer Trail, the Pony Express route, the transcontinental telegraph line, and the Cheyenne- Deadwood Stage route. The fort was designated a national monument in 1938. Three alternatives are considered in this final EIS: the No Action Alternative, a minimum-action alternative (Alternative A), and a preferred alternative (the National Park Service's proposal). Under the preferred alternative, a 9,500-square-foot visitor center emphasizing the fort's historical importance would be constructed. The park's administrative offices and library would be relocated at the new facility, and a paved access road two miles long would be constructed. The project would involve a 411-acre acquisition of public lands from the Bureau of Land Management (on which the visitor center would be constructed), the cooperative management of private lands, and the acceptance of donations of scenic easements from private landowners. In addition, the plan would involve pest and weed control programs, a bat assessment and relocation project, entomology studies, expanded vegetation management practices, resource inventories, the development of a water resources program, the stabilization of stream banks and artifacts, and the reclamation of disturbed areas. Unnecessary roads, walks, and trails would be removed, and parking areas would be relocated outside the historic area. A shuttle from the visitor center to the fort would be provided. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Restoration actions would help return the fort to its historically appropriate appearance. The surrounding landscape would be left undeveloped as much as possible in order to create a sense of isolation within the area's vast open spaces. Interpretation facilities would be improved, additionally enhancing the experience of visitors. The proposal would contribute substantially to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would disturb approximately six acres of soil and vegetation, and displace 0.5 acres of wetlands. The new buildings, road, and parking lots would increase runoff, resulting in minor surface contamination of area rivers. A portion of the access road and one historic structure planned for restoration are located in the 500-year floodplain of the Laramie River.

AN - 36389850; 4309 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a tactical training range in southwest Idaho is proposed in order to enhance the quality and realism of training the composite wing based at Mountain Home Air Force Base (MHAFB) and the Idaho National Guard based at Gowen Field. The composite wing was stationed at MHAFB in 1991 as part of the Defense Department's comprehensive review of its force structure. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the state of Idaho would develop a set of six target areas located in two separated but nearby areas in Owyhee County. To aggregate sufficient lands for the target areas, Idaho would exchange state lands for public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The state would also purchase 7,042.91 acres of private lands within the area. As a second component of this action, the Air Force would request that the Federal Aviation Administration modify special-use airspace, including the establishment of restricted airspace over two sets of target areas, the reconfiguration of existing military operations areas, the elimination of two military training route segments, and the establishment of a new military training route. Under the proposed action, some 32 mobile electronic emitters would be established and used to simulate air defense systems to aid in training activities; each site would require 0.25 acres of state, public, or Air Force lands. The action alternatives differ primarily in terms of the areas that would be selected in southwestern Idaho for the training range facilities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the readiness of air combat units to respond to multiple smaller threats rather than a single, immense threat would be addressed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, approximately 2,576.5 acres of land that are within the proposed training area and are designated as wilderness study areas would require a release from that status by Congress if they were to be used as target areas. The proposed land exchange would remove some public lands from public use. Noise levels in the areas overflown by military aircraft would increase in some areas. Fire risks would increase as a result of nonexplosive ordnance or flares used in the training area. Existing native plant communities would be reduced, and the potential for invasion of nonnative, weedy species would increase; ten populations of six rare plant species would be reduced or eliminated. Habitat of the sage grouse, antelope, bighorn sheep, mule deer, and loggerhead shrike would be disturbed; the loggerhead shrike is a candidate for listing as an endangered or threatened species. Construction, operations, and maintenance activities in the training area would increase the possibility of wind and water erosion. Up to 127 historic sites eligible or potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places would be in the training area.

Preparation date: November 5, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CANAL PARKWAY DEVELOPMENT STUDY, FROM MD 51 TO THE WILEY FORD BRIDGE, ALLEGANY COUNTY, MARYLAND. AN - 36398831; 4366 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of various roads is proposed for the Cumberland, Maryland, area in order to improve access from I-68 and downtown Cumberland to the South Cumberland area and the Cumberland Municipal Airport, located across the Potomac River in West Virginia. The existing two-lane Virginia Avenue underpass of the CSX Railroad is the only access route linking these two areas of Cumberland. The underpass currently experiences traffic congestion during peak periods; as a result, Virginia Avenue has an accident rate higher than similar facilities. In addition to the No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), three build alternatives and two optional connections at the Ford Avenue crossing of the C&O Canal are considered in this draft EIS. Under Alternative 2, Virginia Avenue would be widened to four lanes from Fourth Street to Bowen Street. The CSX bridge could be replaced in order to improve the vertical clearance of the underpass. In addition, curbs and sidewalks would be added, and the existing roadway would be resurfaced. Under Alternative 3, a two-lane undivided highway would be built on a new location from MD 51 west of Virginia Avenue to the area of River Avenue and Ford Avenue. Ford Avenue would be improved to the Wiley Ford Bridge. Under Alternative 4 (Canal Parkway), a two-lane undivided highway would be built on a new location from MD 51 at Wineow Street to the area of River Avenue and Ford Avenue, and Ford Avenue would be improved to the Wiley Ford Bridge. The two optional connections (Options A and B) would include the removal of the existing low-arch bridge, which carries Ford Avenue over the C&O Canal, and the construction of a new full-clearance bridge over the canal and towpath. A raised profile along Ford Avenue would be needed to accommodate the new roadway and bridge. Under Option A, which could be built under Alternatives 1 and 2, Ford Avenue would be reconstructed as a two-lane undivided roadway from approximately 200 feet south of the C&O Canal Bridge to its intersection with River Avenue. Improvements would be made to the Clement Street intersection with Ford Avenue and new driveways would provide access to two commercial establishments on Ford Avenue. Under Option B, which could be built under Alternatives 3 and 4, Ford Avenue would be shifted slightly to the west and reconstructed as a new two-lane undivided roadway from approximately 200 feet south of the C&O Canal Bridge to its intersection with Clement Street. Also under consideration is a related action involving the re-watering of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal from the existing Ford Avenue crossing to its terminus in downtown Cumberland and the reconstruction of the towpath. This area lies south of MD 51 and the CSX railroad tracks and is bounded on three sides by the Potomac River. Under this proposal, approximately two miles of C&O Canal would be rewatered, and the canal and towpath would be restored to their historic elevations. The project would require the excavation of the canal and the restructuring of a portion of the Corps of Engineers flood protection project that was completed in the 1950s. A retaining wall would be built along the shale embankment that currently supports the CSX Railroad tracks. The parklands alongside the Canal would be publicly accessible at the Terminus and South Park areas as well as from existing streets in South Cumberland. The estimated cost of the transportation improvements ranges from $3 million to $39 million; the estimated cost of the proposed park improvement ranges from $60 million to $80 million. Although these two actions are both evaluated in this draft EIS, they could be implemented independently of one another. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed transportation project, traffic operation and safety would be improved. The connection between downtown Cumberland and the municipal airport would also be improved, thereby aiding the local economy. Restoration of the Canal would increase tourist interest in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for transportation improvements would displace up to 29 residences and 11 businesses, and adversely affect up to three historic districts and some archaeological sites; some additional displacements would occur as the result of future park improvements. Up to 1.5 acres of the Potomac River floodplain and 1.3 acres of wetlands would be adversely affected by the transportation improvements, while the park improvements would affect 80 acres of floodplain and 12 acres of wetlands.

Preparation date: November 4, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FORT CLATSOP NATIONAL MEMORIAL, ASTORIA, CLATSOP COUNTY, OREGON. AN - 15224882; 4258 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a 15-year management plan for the Fort Clatsop National Memorial in Clatsop County, Oregon, is proposed. In 1958 Congress established the site as a national memorial in order to commemorate the site use as a winter encampment of the Lewis and Clark Expedition following their successful crossing of the North American continent in 1805. The site consists of approximately 125 acres located in the extreme northern portion of the Oregon Coast Range. The Columbia River flows into the Pacific Ocean just north of the fort; Young's Bay is situated on the south side of the Columbia in the vicinity of Astoria, Oregon. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative C), four measures that would promote the protection and enhancement of the site's resources would be implemented: (1) a trail corridor between Fort Clatsop and the Pacific Ocean would be acquired, requiring the development of an 80-acre trailhead area with a 25-vehicle parking lot, restrooms, an information kiosk, a picnic area, a bicycle rack, and other facilities; (2) some 1,246 acres of land would be added to the memorial in order to provide the fort-to-ocean trail corridor and to frame the park setting to the north, west, and southwest, preventing land uses incompatible with the historical character of the area; (3) the plan would encourage regional cooperation among federal, state, and local agencies responsible for managing historic sites important to the Lewis and Clark Expedition; and (4) the plan would upgrade the memorial's staffing levels and maintenance and residential facilities, add nine permanent and six seasonal staff members, establish carrying capacity levels for the fort and visitor center, and improve access to the Salt Works site, located roughly 15 miles southwest of the Memorial. The estimated costs of the proposed improvements are $1.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action to enlarge the memorial, park management would be able to respond fully to the congressional mandate of providing a link between the fort and the Pacific Ocean. The cultural resource values of the area would be preserved and visitor experiences would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, trail development and construction activities would adversely affect visual, soil, and vegetative resources. The increase in the memorial's acreage would result in the loss of timber-related jobs and local property tax revenue.

AN - 15221783; 4238 AB - PURPOSE: The amending of the development concept plan for Willow Beach on Lake Mohave, in Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Mohave County, Arizona, and Clark County, Nevada, is proposed. The plan as presented in the final EIS of September 1986 proposed to accommodate projected increases in visitor uses by expanding and improving developed areas, improving circulation and existing shoreline access points, and establishing new sites for development. More specifically, the plan proposed to expand three developed areas along Lake Mohave: Katherine Landing, Cottonwood Cove, and Willow Beach. Willow Beach is located on the Arizona shore of Lake Mohave, approximately 11 river miles below Hoover Dam. Historically, Willow Beach has operated as a small fishing resort, providing access to the northern part of the lake and its excellent trout fishing. The 1986 plan proposed to maintain the general character of the area, with moderate improvements in parking and other support facilities. The purpose of this draft supplement to the final EIS is to guide visitor use and development at Willow Beach, and to determine the most appropriate flood-free locations for relocating facilities and necessary flood mitigation structures. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are under consideration. Under the proposed action (Alternative C), commercial facilities would be reduced in order to increase public access to the riverfront. The National Park Service would purchase concession operations and eliminate the motel, the trailer village, concession maintenance, the dry boat storage, the restaurant/store, and the marina. A new concession contract would be offered to provide a store, boat and car gas service, and small boat rental. A courtesy dock, a recreational vehicle dump station, and a 50-site campground would be provided. Visitor use would be dispersed along the shore with the addition of picnic sites, fishing piers, small docks, connecting trails, vegetative screening, and bank stabilization. Parking for 330 vehicles would be provided. All new facilities would be located outside the probable maximum floodplain; floodwalls would be constructed where needed. The estimated cost of structural flood mitigation is approximately $1.89 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, visitor experiences along the riverfront would be enhanced, and the potential damages from a future flood would be minimized. Although some visitor experiences would no longer be available at Willow Beach, visitors would still be provided with boat access. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 20 acres of creosote bush would be disturbed by new or relocated facilities, resulting in a permanent loss of desert tortoise habitat. One known archaeological site could be within the project area. A trailer village with 60 units would be eliminated, and tenants would have to move outside the immediate area.

AN - 36412270; 4298 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) along the John Day River in Oregon is proposed. The river basin drains nearly 8,100 square miles of an extensive interior plateau lying between the Cascade Range in the west and the Blue Mountains in the northeastern section of Oregon. This draft EIS primarily deals with lands under the jurisdiction of BLM; the Forest Service is developing separate management plans for lands under its jurisdiction, while the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Department has prepared its own management guidelines for segments of the river designated as state scenic waterways. The state guidelines are presented in Chapter 5 of this draft EIS. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are under consideration. The preferred alternative (Alternative E) would include preferred parts of the other four. The overall objectives of the BLM plan would be to protect the solitude and scenic beauty of two river segments by controlling recreation use to a low level, to allow moderate increases in recreation uses on two river segments and to provide for more uses on four river segments. Low levels of use would be mandated along river segments from Cottonwood Bridge to Butte Creek and from North Fork Monument to Dale: boating use would be limited to available campsites, and BLM would seek to prohibit motorized boating. Moderate levels of use would be mandated from Tumwater Falls to Cottonwood Bridge, from Butte Creek to Service Creek, from South Fork junction with Main Stem to County Road 67, and from County Road 67 to headwaters: motor vehicle access to the river would be improved, a boat launch would be provided, and motorized boating would be permitted in the offseason. Increased recreational uses would be allowed from Service Creek to Dayville from North Fork Kimberly to Monument: boat launch and day use facilities would be provided, public information efforts would be expanded, and no limits would be placed on the number of boaters, although BLM would seek to prohibit motorized boating along one of the segments. The estimated costs of construction and land acquisition are $1.6 million, and the estimated costs of developing camping and day use areas are $874,000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would allow controlled growth of recreational uses, while rehabilitating and protecting the natural resources that make the river basin an attractive outdoor recreational area. The preferred alternative would stimulate tourism, thereby benefitting the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Slight temporary increases in erosion and sedimentation would take place at selected construction sites along the river. Vegetation would be reduced along three river segments.

Preparation date: October 19, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GOLDEN GATE NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, PRESIDIO OF SAN FRANCISCO, SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36412489; 4246 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan is proposed for the Presidio of San Francisco, which would operate within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in San Francisco, California. The 1,480-acre Presidio is located at the northern tip of the San Francisco peninsula on the south side of Golden Gate. Because of its strategic location, the Presidio has served as a Army post from 1846 to the present; the area contains 870 historic buildings representing a variety of military architectural styles. By 1995 the Presidio would be transferred from the Army to the National Park Service and become part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative A), cultural and natural resources throughout the Presidio would be preserved and enhanced, and major new programs would be established through public-private partnerships. Nearly 475 historic buildings would be rehabilitated, preserved, or restored and adapted for new uses; 264 nonhistoric and 37 historic buildings totaling two million square feet of interior space would be removed to enhance cultural and natural settings and provide additional opportunities for outdoor recreation. The Letterman Army Medical Center would be removed unless a satisfactory rehabilitation plan is developed. By the year 2010, some 738 of the 1,184 existing housing units would be removed, about 85 would be used for visitor lodging, and 361 would be used by Park Service staff and Army personnel. Open space would increase from about 780 acres to 985 acres. The total acreage of native plant habitat would be expanded from 145 to 285 acres. About 20 to 80 acres of the once-extensive wetlands at Crissy Field would be restored, as would a portion of the Crissy Field dune system (30 acres) and the riparian corridors in Tennessee Hollow (30 acres) and Lobos Creek Valley (two acres). Rare, threatened, and endangered plants would be monitored, protected, and enhanced on the 15 acres that they occupy. The historic Presidio Forest would be enlarged by 57 acres. The total number of parking spaces would be reduced from 13,000 to 7,600, and alternatives to automobile use would be promoted. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would enhance visitor appreciation of the historic significance and natural beauty of the area. In addition, the proposal would benefit the regional economy; by the year 2010, Presidio employment would be 5,480, its payroll would be $127 million, state sales tax would be $1.8 million, and city revenues would be $3.63 million. The proposal would generate nearly $35 million in the year 2010 in visitor service and overnight lodging revenues. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed plan would remove 37 historic buildings; most of these structures are at Crissy Field in the Directorate of Engineering and Housing complex at the east end and the World War II barracks area at the west end.

Preparation date: October 15, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ROYAL GORGE RESOURCE AREA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT, CANON CITY DISTRICT, COLORADO. AN - 36398175; 4248 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a resource management plan is proposed for 688,725 acres of surface estate land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the Royal Gorge Resource Area of the Canon City District in eastern Colorado. The resource area is approximately 320 miles long and 250 miles wide extending from the Continental Divide on the west to the Wyoming and Nebraska borders on the north, the Kansas border on the east, and the Oklahoma and New Mexico borders on the south. Four alternatives are considered in this draft EIS, including a No Action Alternative, which would involve the continued management under three independent plans for the area. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative D), grazing would be permitted on 98 percent of the land (642,884 acres); approximately 67 percent of the land (435,180 acres) would be open to mineral disposal under standard lease terms, 20 percent (132,977 acres) would be open seasonally, and 13 percent (84,843 acres) would be closed; off-highway vehicle use would be unrestricted on 3 percent of the land (16,356 acres), limited seasonally on 85 percent (558,802 acres), and prohibited on 12 percent (77,842 acres); big game birthing areas, developed recreational sites, and areas identified as having paleontological value would be protected from mineral development, timber harvesting, and other potential disturbances. Historical and archaeological resources would be protected through designating ten areas of critical environmental concern totalling 78,556 acres. Approximately 877 miles of roads, trails, and railroads would be allowed, and 56 miles of new access would be provided. Primitive and semi-primitive recreational opportunities would be maintained on 61,624 acres. Approximately 125,000 acres in the Arkansas River corridor would be recommended for National Recreation Area designation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Full implementation of the plan would update and consolidate three existing plans for the resource area and would thereby improve overall management for the next 15 to 20 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mineral operations, particularly fluid minerals, would face more restrictions under the preferred alternative than under most other alternatives. Up to 2 percent of the high potential fluid mineral areas would be restricted, which could adversely affect the industry. The net loss of livestock grazing on 325 to 650 acres could adversely affect three operators. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

Preparation date: October 1, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT OF THE COLUMBIA BASIN PROJECT, GRANT, ADAMS, FRANKLIN, AND LINCOLN COUNTIES, WASHINGTON (SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1989). AN - 36399326; 4299 AB - PURPOSE: The continued development of the Columbia Basin Project in Douglas, Grant, Adams, Franklin, and Lincoln counties, Washington is proposed. The irrigation project is located in central Washington and currently serves a total area of approximately 556,800 acres in platted farm units. The multipurpose development includes power projection, flood control, and recreation, as well as irrigation. This supplement to the draft EIS of September 1989, which evaluates the effects of providing irrigation water to project lands that are not yet served, provides additional information on Columbia River anadromous fish, impacts not addressed in the draft EIS, and impacts related to modifications of the original preferred action alternative. Lands not yet served by project irrigation are referred to as Second Half lands, with First Half lands being those that were developed in the 1950s and 1960s. Existing project facilities include 333 miles of main canals, 1,993 miles of laterals, and more than 3,500 miles of drains and wasteways. The key project structure is the Grand Coulee Dam, located on the main stem of the Columbia River approximately 90 miles west of Spokane. The dam's pump-generating plant lifts irrigation water approximately 280 feet from the Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake to Banks Lake, which serves as an equalizing reservoir for the irrigation system. The Main Canal transport flows southward from Banks Lake at Dry Falls Dam to the northern end of the irrigable area. This canal feeds into the East Low and West canals, which carry water over a large portion of the project area. In the central part of the project, O'Sullivan Dam created the Potholes Reservoir, which receives return flows from the northern part of the project. The Potholes Canal begins at O'Sullivan Dam and runs south to serve the southern part of the project area. Alternatives under consideration include: (1) the completion of the Columbia Basin Project as originally planned by providing irrigation service to an additional 538,600 acres; and (2) the expansion of the Columbia Basin Project on a more limited scale by providing irrigation service to approximately 87,000 acres along the east bank of the East Low Canal, coupled with an anadromous fish plan representing a 1.6-million-acre-foot flow augmentation (Alternative 2A) or a 216,000-acre-foot flow augmentation (Alternative 2B). Either alternative would involve water delivery via a gravity pipe distribution system (except for movements involving major canals). An on-farm water allotment of 3.00 acre-feet per acre and a system design figure of 3.25 acre-feet per acre have been recommended. Taking into account evaporation, leakage, and other losses, as well as usable return flows, the average per-acre net diversion would amount to 3.1 acre-feet per acre under Alternative 1 and 2.8 acre-feet per acre under Alternative 2. The estimated cost of facilities construction under Alternative 1 and Alternative 2 are $2.6 billion and $313.5 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Expanded irrigation would result in greater crop diversification in the service area. Additional farm units would be created. Fish and wildlife resources in the project area would be expanded and preserved, and additional recreational opportunities would be created. Irrigation using project water would alleviate aquifer drawdown problems. Water quality problems associated with the use of groundwater for irrigation would be alleviated. Continued project development would contribute to economic stability and growth, and would fulfill legal, contractual, and other obligations. The conversion of 362,700 acres of dryland and the creation of 3,700 acres of wetland under Alternative 1 to irrigated farmland would benefit wildlife using those areas. Recreation opportunities would generally increase. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Sediments and nutrients delivered in return flows to Moses Lake, Potholes Reservoir, and the Columbia River would increase. A small portion of farmland would be lost to productive use due to displacement by project facilities. Alternative 2 could increase nitrate levels in groundwater, and either alternative could increase pesticide levels in groundwater. The energy generating capacity of the project would decline slightly, resulting in an increase in electricity costs. Alternative 1 would result in a loss of 26,000 acres of native shrub-steppe vegetation and associated wildlife habitat, while Alternative 2 would result in the destruction of less than 10 acres of native vegetation. Under Alternative 1, changes in the operation of the Potholes Reservoir would result in the loss of 15,000 to 20,000 fisherman-days per year. At least five of the 40 year-classes of kokanee salmon in Banks Lake would be adversely affected. Agrichemical deposition would increase substantially. Increases in population and human uses in the area would result in increased traffic and other disruptive activities.

Preparation date: September 21, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WARD VALLEY LOW-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE FACILITY, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1991). AN - 36406180; 4286 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a license to construct and operate a low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) disposal facility at Ward Valley in San Bernardino County, California, is proposed. The site, which is 23 miles west of Needles and 13 miles from the Colorado River, is located near the northern end of Ward Valley and covers approximately 1.5 square miles (including a buffer zone with a minimum width of 2,000 feet). The facility contractor is U.S. Ecology, Inc., formerly named Nuclear Engineering, Inc. The final EIS of April 1991 considered the conveyance of the land for the facility from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to the California State Lands Commission (SLC) through the state indemnity selection process. A BLM right-of-way would have been granted to provide access to the facility between Interstate 40 (I-40) and the northern property boundary of the facility. However, in July 1991, the SLC requested that BLM suspend consideration of this method of conveyance and consider instead the direct sale of the property to the state. This final supplement to the final EIS considers only the effects of this new method of conveyance. The proposed facility would operate in the manner described in the final EIS, which is incorporated by reference in this final supplement. The project would include a 70-acre fenced disposal area; a 7.6-acre fenced support area containing the shop and operations building, parking, utilities, a guard station, and fuel and water tanks; flood protection and surface drainage diversion structures; and other support facilities. Project implementation would also require methods for handling and disposing of waste during operation, safety emergency response and security plans during operation, methods for site closure and post-closure safety provisions, environmental monitoring provisions, and financial assurances and liability insurance coverage. Wastes would be disposed in containers in trenches and then covered with soil. The facility would receive and dispose of wastes generated within California, Arizona, North Dakota, and South Dakota over a period of 30 years, until closure. After closure, the state of California would maintain the site for a period of 100 years. The project site would accept nonhazardous LLRW, including Class A, B, and C waste. Class A waste consists of radionuclides with short half-lives. Class B waste consists of a mixture of radionuclides, some with short half-lives and some with long half-lives. Class C waste consists of radionuclides with long half-lives. No high-level radioactive wastes or nuclear weapons-related wastes, or other hazardous wastes would be accepted. Reclamation efforts would be directed toward restoring the site so that surface use could be initiated approximately 100 years following closure. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The establishment and operation of the facility would allow California to meet its federal mandate to dispose of LLRW. The project would also fulfill California's obligation to provide a facility for disposing of similar wastes from three other states, as per the Southwestern LLRW Disposal Compact. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Surface use of the site would be precluded for approximately 100 years, while below-ground use would be precluded for approximately 500 years. The operation and subsequent management of the site could result in safety hazards due to possible safety-system failures; these hazards could adversely affect water and air quality, associated human health, and the biological resources of the surrounding desert environment, including the endangered desert tortoise.

Preparation date: September 16, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - INTERAGENCY MOTOR VEHICLE USE PLAN REVISION, INYO NATIONAL FOREST AND BISHOP RESOURCE AREA, INYO, MADERA, MONO, AND TULARE COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA, AND ESMERALDA AND MINERAL COUNTIES, NEVADA. AN - 15223941; 4240 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a revised motor vehicle use plan for the portions of the Inyo National Forest, managed by the Forest Service, and the Bishop Resource Area, managed by the Bureau of Land Management, is proposed. Bishop, California, located 210 miles south of Reno, Nevada, is nearly central to the study area. The area, which encompasses approximately 2.3 million acres in east-central California and west-central Nevada, includes the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada and much of the Glass, White, Inyo, and Excelsior mountains. Most of the study area is tributary to the Owens Valley or Mono Basin. The original plan was adopted in 1977 and incorporated into the 1988 forest plan with the understanding that it would be updated. Issues identified during the scoping process include timber management; mineral development; local economics; and the protection of fish and wildlife resources, old growth, visual resources, livestock, and vegetation. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative A) would provide for motor vehicle use of existing routes, including those routes where resource issues were identified that could be satisfactorily mitigated and those routes where conflicting uses could be resolved. Routes with unresolved resource issues or use conflicts would be closed. This alternative would recommend 373 miles of road for new closure and 34.4 miles for seasonal closure, open 176.1 miles, open 37.6 miles with monitoring and 44.9 miles with rehabilitated conditions, reroute 10.1 miles, and designate 10.4 miles for motorcycles only. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would provide access to federal lands for a variety of uses while protecting resource values from degradation. Routes identified as vital for the protection of riparian areas and old-growth forests would be closed to public access. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would restrict access on approximately half the routes that were identified as having value for recreation and visual resources.

AN - 36397938; 4237 AB - PURPOSE: The development of Tumacacori National Historical Park in Arizona, including the construction of visitor facilities and services, increased staffing, and the implementation of resource management strategies, is proposed. The park is located in Santa Cruz County, 18 miles north of Nogales and the U.S.-Mexico border, and 43 miles south of Tucson. In 1908 the park was established as a National Monument in order to preserve an ancient Spanish mission on the grounds; in 1990, Congress changed the designation of the park to a National Historical Park and combined the existing monument with the ruins of two other nearby Spanish Colonial sites (Calabazas and Guevavi). Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed plan (Alternative 1), the park would be managed to preserve, fully interpret, and maintain the cultural resources at all three sites; to maintain and enhance natural resources; and to develop facilities to accommodate visitor services and National Park Service administrative functions. The three sites would eventually be linked along the mission trail, the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historical Trail. A visitor contact facility, visitor parking, a small maintenance shop, and employee housing would be constructed at one of the three sites. Boundaries at two of the sites would be adjusted to accommodate an increase in visitors, and fee acquisition of selected tracts of private tracts would be pursued. Development costs are estimated at $1.71 million, and operating costs at $448,000 annually. The other action alternative would provide minimal visitor services and administrative functions. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the cultural resource values of the area would be preserved and visitor experiences enhanced as a result of the proposed development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, some visual, soil, and vegetative resources would be adversely affected in the short-term. LEGAL MANDATES: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Public Law 101-344 of 1990.

AN - 36408677; 4151 AB - PURPOSE: The designation of certain public lands for oil and gas leasing, exploration, and development within the Egan Resource Area of Nevada in the National Wilderness Preservation System is proposed. The Egan Resource Management Plan (RMP) would be amended to incorporate oil and gas management in conformance with BLM Manual 1624--Supplemental Program Guidance for Energy and Minerals. The amendment would supplement the approved Egan RMP and add to the existing decisions within the Egan Record of Decisions. The decisions proposed through the amendment would stipulate the conditions for oil and gas exploration and development in the resource area, which consists of 3.8 million acres of public lands in White Pine, Nye, and Lincoln counties in Nevada. Since 1984 the resource area has experienced steady geophysical exploration and exploratory well drilling, and portions of the area are considered to have high oil and gas potential; the resource area contains approximately 2.2 million acres with high potential, 1.1 million acres with moderate potential, and 0.5 million acres with low potential. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (the Continuation of Present Management Alternative), are under consideration. The proposed plan would open 61 percent of the area (about 2.34 million acres) to leasing under standard terms and conditions; 1.7 percent (about 0.07 million acres) to leasing with no-surface-occupancy stipulations; and 30.9 percent (about 1.19 million acres) to leasing with seasonal limitations to protect wildlife values. It would close 0.1 percent of the area (about 3,024 acres) to leasing for discretionary reasons and 6.3 percent (about 0.03 million acres) to leasing for nondiscretionary reasons. The proposed plan would result in the drilling of 423 wells (175 exploration wells, 88 development wells on small fields, and 160 development wells on large fields) by the end of the land use planning period. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed plan, areas designated as wilderness, as well as areas with concentrated recreation use, would be closed to oil and gas leasing. Development of nonwilderness oil and gas resources would benefit the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Oil and gas exploration and development would result in a long-term loss of productivity on 500 acres of woodlands, long-term adverse visual impacts and a loss of forage productivity on 1,274 acres, and a related loss of 147 livestock animal-unit-months (AUMs) and 43 wild-horse AUMs. Full-scale development would adversely affect up to 250 wild horses if it occurred within a single herd-use area. Up to seven horses or foals per year would be lost to vehicle collisions.

Preparation date: August 20, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HAMILTON GRANGE NATIONAL MEMORIAL, NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK. AN - 36408242; 4173 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for Hamilton Grange National Memorial in upper Manhattan in New York City is proposed. Built in 1802-03, the Grange was the only home that Alexander Hamilton ever owned. In 1889 it was moved 350 feet from its original site. Then it was established as a national memorial by Congress in 1962. The house, which is in need of renovation and structural repairs, is currently located at 287 Convent Avenue in Hamilton Heights, one block north of City College of New York and three blocks east of the Hudson River. An apartment building on the north actually touches the Grange, and St. Luke's Church was built just a few feet to the south. The act that established the Grange as a national memorial stipulated that the structure should be moved to a more appropriate setting, but because of the lack of funding, the house was never moved. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 4), the original first and second floors of the Grange would be moved across 141st Street to St. Nicholas Park, and the Grange would be restored, to the greatest degree possible, to its interior and exterior appearance at the time of Hamilton's residency. The entry door would be relocated to its original position, and the entrance porch would be reconstructed. The house would be reoriented, with the front door to the north, allowing visitors to approach the house from the same side that Hamilton's guests would have. A new masonry and stone basement and sub-basement would be built at the St. Nicholas park site. About 3,067 square feet would be available for visitor interpretation and community use. The main visitor entrance, with a theater, a lobby, an information desk, a book sales area, a staff space, and restrooms would be at basement level. Four rooms on the first floor would be refurnished to reflect the house as it appeared during Hamilton's occupancy. Five private rooms on the second floor would be furnished with appropriate pieces from the period. A compatible structure, no more than two stories high, could be built on the 1889 foundation for community use and Park Service housing. Optionally, a community park could be developed on the Convent Avenue site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternatives would provide a comprehensive visitor use program. Both visitors and the surrounding community would benefit from better site security and the presence of law enforcement personnel. The appearance of the house and the sense conveyed to visitors of the historical context and architectural significance of the house would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some recreational opportunities would be displaced by the bus parking development at the eastern edge of the park. The structure itself would require .73 acres of parkland; 2.2 acres if parking were provided. LEGAL MANDATES: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

Preparation date: August 18, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NORTH DAKOTA HIGHWAY 57--US 281 TO JUNCTION OF ND 20. AN - 36397778; 4193 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of North Dakota Highway 57 (ND 57) from the intersection with US 281, west of Fort Totten, to a point 1.6 miles south of the junction with ND 20, is proposed. The existing highway extends for 13.3 miles through areas of rolling hills, dry lake bottom,and wooded shoreline on the Devils Lake Sioux Indian Reservation. The highway is the major route for traffic through the reservation and connects the city of Fort Totten to the city of Devils Lake. The highway, which currently requires annual maintenance, patching, and milling to correct surface distortion, and lacks the structure for hauling heavy loads, has two paved 11-foot driving lanes and two five-foot gravel shoulders that do not meet highway standards. The proposed improvements would widen the driving lanes to 12 feet wide with paved eight-foot shoulders. The total length of ND 57 would be regraded and realigned. Sharp curves and grades steeper than 4 percent would be eliminated, and several intersections would be realigned to improve safety conditions, including the intersection with US 281; traffic from US 281 West would be required to stop before accessing either US 281 South or ND 57. The proposed route would generally follow the existing alignment, thereby minimizing impacts to the woodlands through the Sullys Hill National Game Preserve by shifting the alignment slightly toward the lake. Highway reconstruction would be coordinated with plans of the Bureau of Reclamation to build a water supply pipeline on the reservation; the pipeline would run along the highway right-of-way for 1.7 miles. The only other alternative considered in this draft EIS is a No Action Alternative. The estimated cost of the project is $6.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would improve traffic safety along a highway that currently does not meet federal safety standards and has an accident rate that is twice the state average for arterial roads. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 15.4 acres of wetlands and 32 acres of woodland along ND 57, of which 6.8 acres are along the Devils Lake shoreline, would be displaced. Trees and other vegetation would be removed from game preserve lands. Construction activities would expose the soil to possible wind and water erosion during the construction period and before vegetation is re-established.

AN - 36405570; 4170 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for the Middle Fork of the Flathead River in the Flathead National Forest in Flathead County, Montana, is proposed. The project area includes approximately 22,430 acres characterized by coniferous forests that are densely stocked at elevations below 5,000 feet. Activities under the plan would include forage enhancement and whitebark pine regeneration through the prescribed burning of 382 acres of natural openings; stream blockage removal, and bank, spawning gravel, and other fish habitat improvements; and the harvest of approximately 6.1 million board feet (MMBF) of timber on approximately 500 acres, with subsequent reforestation. The proposed action would take place in the North Fork Dickey Creek, Paola Creek, and Tunnel Creek drainage basins. For access to the timber, the proposed action would involve up to 1.3 miles of road construction and 0.1 mile of temporary road construction, and the restoration of approximately 3.9 miles of existing roads. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. All of the action alternatives would involve the retention of 3,653 acres of old-growth habitat, and the monitoring of soil, vegetation, wildlife, fisheries and water quality, and road construction and maintenance to ensure compliance with specifications. The preferred alternative (Alternative C) would harvest 6.6 MMBF of timber from approximately 613 acres, with all but 96 acres being harvested using a helicopter yarding system. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would contribute to the suppression of insects and disease; contribute to the short-term supply of timber and provide for sustained long-term yields; maintain visual quality and recreational viability; and maintain biological diversity by enhancing linkages to the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex and Glacier National Park. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Road construction, timber harvesting, and tractor log yarding would result in habitat degradation and erosion, and helicopter yarding would cause some soil windfall.

AN - 36408204; 4182 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan to protect the habitat of late-successional-forest- and old-growth-forest-related species within the range of the northern spotted owl is proposed for lands managed by the Forest Service (FS) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the Pacific Northwest and northern California. A No Action Alternative and ten action alternatives developed by the Forest Ecosystem Management Assessment Team are considered in this draft supplement to the final EIS of January 1992 supplementing a final EIS issued by the FS for the Pacific Northwest region, and six draft EISs issued by the BLM in August 1992 for individual districts in Oregon. The preferred alternative (Alternative 9) would establish a management direction that corresponds with the plan announced by President Clinton in July 1993. This alternative would retain approximately 7.0 million acres reserved by Congress as national parks, wildlife refuges, and other specially designated areas. Another 7.1 million acres would be managed as late-successional reserves; some level of silvicultural treatment would be permitted in stands less than 80 years old in order to accelerate the development of old-growth-habitat characteristics, but all actions would require review by an interagency oversight team. The salvage of dead trees would generally be limited to areas where catastrophic losses exceeded ten acres. Approximately 1.5 million acres would be managed as adaptive management areas; each of these areas would have a different emphasis in its prescription, such as maximizing the amount of late-successional forests or improving riparian conditions through silvicultural treatments. Ten areas of federal land ranging in size from 84,000 to 400,000 acres have been identified as adaptive management areas. Approximately 2.2 million acres would be managed as riparian reserves, providing a buffer along all streams, wet areas, ponds, lakes, and unstable and potentially unstable areas. Finally, roughly 4.9 million acres would be managed as matrix areas, in which some levels of timber harvesting and other silvicultural treatment would be permitted. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Protection of old-growth habitat under the preferred management scheme would ensure the continued existence of the endangered northern spotted owl, the marbled murrelet, and other species dependent on late-successional and old-growth forest. The proposed limitations on timber harvests would benefit the watershed, fisheries, and soils. Similarly derived benefits would redound to recreational resources, cultural resources, and Native American religious sites. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some old-growth forest stands would be harvested under the preferred alternative. A major reduction in harvest activity would occur, however, which would cause the loss of jobs and income and could threaten the economic vitality of timber-dependent communities.

AN - 36413596; 4167 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a master plan for the management and development of the Walnut Creek National Wildlife Refuge, located near Prairie City in Jasper County, Iowa, approximately 20 miles east of Des Moines, is proposed. The establishment of the 8,654-acre refuge was approved on September 5, 1990, in order to restore native tallgrass prairie, wetland, and riparian woodland habitat for breeding and migratory waterfowl and resident wildlife; to provide environmental education and assistance to local landowners in habitat enhancement; and to provide recreational opportunities to the public. The master plan consists of four elements: habitat/wildlife emphasis; a refuge management concept; a refuge program; and facilities siting. Several alternatives for each of these elements are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative comprises the following selected master plan element alternatives: Habitat/Wildlife Emphasis Alternative ID, Refuge Management Concept Alternative IIE, Refuge Program Alternative IIIC, and Facilities Siting Alternative IVB. By restoring nearly 7,000 acres of tallgrass prairie and savannah habitat, the preferred alternative would seek to emphasize the historical landscape of the region. Up to 100 bison and 150 elk would be reintroduced to the northern half of the refuge, within large fenced areas of reconstructed tallgrass prairie. The refuge would contain state-of-the-art environmental education facilities, including an extensive system of outdoor classrooms and support facilities. Major facilities would include an administration building, an education building, a visitor center with an enhanced research laboratory, and a tour route and trail system. Overnight accommodations for visiting researchers, including a food service facility, would be available. These facilities would be located in the central portion of the refuge, on top of a ridge between two tributaries of Walnut Creek. An estimated 200,000 persons would visit the refuge each year. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Refuge establishment under the preferred alternative would preserve and protect tallgrass prairie habitat and would have an overall positive effect on water quality, wetlands, and the 100-year floodplain as a result of the curtailment of agricultural practices causing erosion, sedimentation, and pesticide runoff. Habitat opportunities and species diversity would increase as a result of the conversion of farmland to refuge lands. The plan would provide for an optimum level of management through a mix of management activities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The conversion of farmland to refuge lands would result in a loss of agricultural production and a related loss in local income and employment. In addition, the conversion would result in a net annual property tax loss to Jasper County and the displacement of tenant and resident farmers.

AN - 36398087; 4216 AB - PURPOSE: The modification of the river maintenance program on the Rio Grande, which involves transporting water and sediment to Elephant Butte Reservoir in New Mexico, is proposed. The modification would allow the maintenance program to reflect current engineering methodologies and environmental values that, while providing for long-term river management, would also protect the inherent environmental resources and project features associated with the Rio Grande and its floodway in New Mexico. This final supplement to the final EIS of March 1977 analyzes the impacts of the Bureau of Reclamation's preferred-action river maintenance programs in ten morphologically discrete reaches of the Rio Grande over a 286-mile stretch of the river. The following preferred action alternatives are addressed in the final supplement: (1) bank stabilization measures, including revetments (rock riprap, gabions, windrows, stabilized soil, manufactured revetment units, cellular confinement systems, and permeable jetty jacks), curve reshaping, and plantings to stabilize riverbanks; (2) river training works for influencing flow alignment and controlling and managing overbank flow (groins, training dikes, freeboard dikes, pilot channels, and vanes); (3) sediment removal to maintain flow capacity (arroyo plug removal, island and bar removal, and dredging); (4) vegetation control to increase the floodway capacity in order to pass high flows (mowing, root plowing, and spraying); (5) snag removal to prevent the obstruction and/or deflection of river flows; and (6) levee maintenance in the Socorro, Bosque del Apache, San Marcial, and Elephant Butte reaches. Although an interstate river compact and two legislative mandates preclude a No Action Alternative, a No Additional Federal Action Alternative is also discussed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed modifications, riverbank stabilization would prevent further erosion and undercut banks. River training utilized in the Velarde, Espanola, Socorro, and San Marcial reaches would realign river flow alignment and inhibit overbank flows. Sediment removal would restore flow capacity to the channel. Levee maintenance would reduce the risk of flooding in areas susceptible to breaching or in areas that need reinforcement; the levees, in many instances, are also used for access to the river for maintenance purposes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Riverbank stabilization would initially disturb riverbank vegetation. The initial construction of both groins and dikes would smother sessile aquatic organisms. The removal of snags from the river channel would eliminate perching sites for numerous avian species, existing or potential sites for invertebrate attachment, and a certain amount of aquatic cover for existing fisheries. The project could also disturb wintering bald eagles in some locations. LEGAL MANDATES: Flood Control Act of 1948, and Flood Control Act of 1950.

AN - 36410184; 4179 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Wind Cave National Park in Custer County, South Dakota, is proposed. The park, which covers approximately 28,000 acres in the southern Black Hills of South Dakota, was established in 1903 to protect Wind Cave from commercial exploitation; subsequent legislation established the park as a preserve for big game animals, particularly bison and pronghorn antelope. The proposed action would mitigate the effects of surface facilities and activities on Wind Cave, provide additional opportunities for visitors to experience and appreciate its surface resources, and promote and conduct scientific studies of the park's natural resources. The park would continue to be managed primarily as a day-use area, with both moderately developed camping and backcountry camping being available. Interpretation would be expanded to include such topics as the Civilian Conservation Corps; the history and prehistory of the area; and forest, grassland, and fire ecology. Existing wayside exhibits would be replaced, a self-guided hiking trail would be developed on the surface, the visitor center would be remodeled to provide a 50-seat auditorium and space for additional exhibits, and an audio cassette for auto tours would be developed. The campground would be reduced in size, rehabilitated, and relocated outside of the 100-year floodplain; some campsites would be made accessible to persons with disabilities. The parking lot would be rebuilt, and its asphalt surface would be replaced with concrete. The administrative space in the visitor center would be remodeled, and a fire suppression system installed. A new well would be drilled to provide a backup to the existing domestic water supply. The estimated development costs of the proposed action are $9.59 million. In addition to the proposed action (Alternative B), two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would improve Wind Cave's interpretation facilities, thereby enhancing visitors' appreciation of the cave, and would facilitate the monitoring and protection of its underground and surface resources. Upgrading the campground's toilet facilities would eliminate the possibility that sewage could leach into the cave from existing septic tanks. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased visitor use would result in a minor disruption of wildlife and increase the risk of damage to cave formations.

AN - 36405723; 4178 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Jewel Cave National Monument in Custer County, South Dakota, is proposed. The cave, which is located in the western portion of the Black Hills, is the second longest cave in the U.S. and the fourth longest in the world. As of May 1993, more than 90 miles of passageways had been explored, surveyed, and mapped, but that is thought to be only a fraction of the entire cave system. The overall intent of the proposed action is to mitigate the effects of surface facilities and activities on Jewel Cave, to accommodate an increased number of visitors while using only a small portion of the cave, and to provide additional interpretive facilities to enable visitors to experience and appreciate the surface resources. The primary visitor activity would continue to be cave tours, but hiking and picnicking opportunities would also be offered. The number of tours on the historic trail would be increased, and if an appropriate area could be found, a second cave tour would be developed. The visitor center would be remodeled to add approximately 5,000 square feet of space, including a 50-seat auditorium and space for additional exhibits, and the parking lot at the visitor center would be redesigned to reduce potential impacts to the area's hydrology and cave resources. Audiovisual programs on cave resources; wayside exhibits; and brochures would be developed in order to enhance visitor experiences. A concession-operated food service would be provided during the peak of the visitor season, and picnicking facilities would be added in the historic area. The water pipeline from the reservoir to the historic area would be enlarged to accommodate both visitor use and fire suppression needs. If sewage problems could not be solved otherwise, a new one-acre lagoon would be added to the existing sewage treatment area to provide additional capacity and eliminate any need to pump and haul sewage. The existing septic tanks and leach field at the historic area would be taken out of service. Staffing would increase by seven full-time positions, which would require the construction of additional housing and other facilities. Annual operation and maintenance costs associated with the proposal would be about $610,000; development costs are estimated at $4.99 million. The only other alternative considered in this draft EIS is a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would improve Jewell Cave's interpretation facilities, thereby enhancing visitors' appreciation of the cave, and would facilitate the monitoring and protection of its underground and surface resources. The local economy would experience a short-term boost from the proposed construction activity and a long-term boost from the expected increase in tourism. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed construction work could alter drainage patterns and, thereby, affect the cave's hydrology. The placement of lights in a passageway of the cave to accommodate a second cave tour would result in an increase in algae growth within the cave; the presence of people in the passageway would bring in lint and other foreign matter and could possibly alter the passageway's temperature and relative humidity.

AN - 36412181; 4085 AB - PURPOSE: The withdrawal of approximately 770,000 acres of the Desert National Wildlife Range in Clark and Lincoln counties, Nevada, from mineral estate exploration and development is proposed. The range, which is located in the northeastern region of the Mojave Desert, was established in 1936 for the protection, enhancement, and maintenance of wildlife, especially the Nelson's desert bighorn sheep. A low-density population of desert tortoises, which are a threatened species, also inhabits the lower elevations of the range. In addition, eleven category 2 threatened or endangered plant species and six category 2 animal species are known to live within the range. The executive order that established the range did not withdraw the mineral estate, but instead established a ""split estate,'' dedicating the land surface to a national wildlife refuge while the mineral estate remained unreserved public domain. Under the proposed action (the Wildlife Range Withdrawal Alternative/Alternative A), lands in the eastern portion of the range, and a smaller portion of lands in the range's southwest corner, would be closed to entry for the exploration, claiming, and extraction of locatable minerals for 20 years, beginning in October 1993. Another portion of the range, which contains the Nellis Air Force Bombing Range, has already been secondarily withdrawn by Congress until 2001. This draft EIS also considers two other alternatives: a No Action Alternative (Alternative B), which would have the effect of releasing the entire range from wilderness consideration in 2001 and opening it to mineral entry, and a Limited Entry Alternative (Alternative C), which would open a limited area in the southern Las Vegas Mountain Range to mineral entry. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed withdrawal would protect the biological and cultural resources of the range and prevent uses that would be incompatible with the purposes and objectives for which the range was established. Vulnerable wildlife in the range would benefit from the proposed withdrawal and the maintenance of an undisturbed natural environment. Groundwater and springs, cultural resources, and visual resources would continue to be protected and undisturbed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: While no existing mining operations would be displaced, the closure of the range would preclude the potential for excavating existing industrial limestone deposits. This would be a forgone economic opportunity, as a limestone mine could increase local incomes by $2.7 million annually.

AN - 36399551; 4100 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan is proposed for the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, located in the Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, metropolitan area. The recreation area, which was established by Congress in 1988, includes 72 miles of the Mississippi River and four miles of the Minnesota River. It encompasses about 54,000 acres of public and private land and water in five Minnesota counties, stretching from Dayton to just south of Hastings. The proposed plan would attempt to balance resource protection with opportunities for visitor uses and development activities. The most significant visual resources, including historic structures and landscapes, would be protected and restored where practical. The river corridor would have continuous public or private open space along the shoreline area to the maximum extent practical and would be connected to the downtown areas and neighborhoods by open space and trails. The continuous open space would contain public parks, trail corridors, and private lands restored to or retained as green space. It would be as wide as some of the existing major regional parks along the river, and could be as narrow as the 40-foot shoreline preservation setback area. Except in existing commercial and industrial developments, downtown areas, and historic districts, the riverfront and bluff area would appear mostly natural from the river and its opposite shoreline areas. In downtown areas and historic districts, development would be more visible but would still complement the aesthetics of the river corridor. For areas where the natural appearance has been altered, design guidelines and programs would be established to encourage restoration. Additional public and private open space would be provided through a continued local land and easement acquisition program. Commercial navigation activities would be continued and monitored to ensure minimal impacts on aquatic life. Local government would have the authority to designate areas for barge fleeting that are consistent with the overall objectives of the proposed plan. A wide range of recreational opportunities, as well as interpretive and educational programs, would be provided. Two major interpretive facilities would be constructed: a primary information and orientation center at Harriet Island opposite downtown St. Paul, and a cooperative information and orientation center near downtown Minneapolis. Three other alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed plan would protect sensitive resources in the river corridor, preserve its natural appearance, improve recreational opportunities, and increase the number of open-space areas. Shoreline bank erosion would be reduced as a result of decreased disturbance in the shoreline protection area and increased revegetation of river banks. The plan would help to protect floodplains and wetlands in the river corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased recreational use by residents and tourists would cause some disturbance to wildlife.

Planned developed outlined in the General Management Plan may impact one or more of these sites. Artifacts diagnostic of the Paleoindian, Archaic, Fremont and Shoshone cultures were recovered Ceramics and projectile points were identified; chipped stone and ground stone artifacts were examined. Other materials recovered include beads, a worked crystal and shaped schist artifacts. Results from specialized analyses indicate that preservation of faunal remains, paleobotanical material and pollen is good. X-ray fluorescence of obsidian artifacts provides interesting data about the sources of the obsidian. Radiocarbon dates, obtained from two hearths and a fire-cracked-rock cluster, and relative dates, from obsidian hydration analysis, support the interpretation of both archaic and Fremont period occupations. Management recommendations and a plan for data recovery based on the testing results are presented.

AN - 36398492; 4088 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a visitors' orientation and information center, and related facilities, along the George Parks Highway within the southern development zone of Denali State Park in Alaska is proposed. The facility would provide additional access to Denali National Park and Preserve, which presently has only one access road to the north. Major focal issues include the impacts of the project on wildlife, vegetation, historic and archaeological resources, potential wilderness designation, subsistence use, the social and economic environments of Talkeetna and Cantwell, and visitor activities, plus the distance of the proposed center from the national park. In addition to the proposed action, three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative C), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the Park Service would construct a 10,000-square-foot visitors' center along the George Parks Highway. A second, larger (16,000-square-foot), destination-oriented visitors' center would be constructed on Native-owned land near Talkeetna only if demand for a south slope visitors' center/hotel complex continued to increase and a firm site plan for the complex could be agreed upon by the Park Service and the Native Corporation. The Park Service would also install six roadside exhibits along the George Parks Highway, construct trailheads and trails totaling approximately 42 miles at four locations in or adjacent to the national park, and convert two administrative cabins to public-use cabins. A primitive backcountry campground would be designated at Dry Lake, and a full-service campground would be constructed near Cantwell. Under the action alternatives (Alternatives A and B), only one visitors' center, the larger one near Talkeetna, would be constructed, and it would be built in conjunction with a hotel complex that would be privately built. The construction would take place in the southern zone under Alternative A and in the northern zone under Alternative B. Improvements under Alternatives A and B would also respectively include 2 and 13 roadside exhibits, 63 and 183 miles of trail, and 2 and 6 new public-use cabins, in addition to the 2 converted cabins provided under the proposed action. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The center would provide opportunities for visitors to Denali National Park and Preserve to experience the natural and cultural resources of the south slope of the Alaskan Range. Trails would provide hiking opportunities for visitors who would not otherwise venture into the backcountry. The number of visitors to the national park, which has increased from 200,000 to over 500,000 annually since 1980, could quadruple within ten years after construction of the center. A large visitors' center and related hotel complex near Talkeetna would increase area economic activity, as construction activity would generate 90 person-years of employment with an estimated $8 million payroll, and operation of the complex would create 125 seasonal and 12 permanent jobs, producing an annual payroll of $1,063,000. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: None of the land for the proposed project is federally owned; in order to implement the proposed action, an appropriate land use agreement or conveyance would have to be completed. While it is not anticipated that any development alternative would have adverse impacts on wildlife population numbers, there is concern that in localized backcountry areas the presence of constructed trails and their use by hikers could seasonally displace grizzly and black bears and possibly caribou.

AN - 36411369; 4106 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for 6.1 million acres of public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the Tonapah Resource Area, located in Nye and Esmeralda counties, Nevada, is proposed. The plan would consolidate two existing management plans into one comprehensive plan and would focus on resolving planning issues associated with resource development (particularly development of hard-rock and fluid minerals), sensitive plant and animal species, lands and rights-of-way needs, and cultural resources. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would attempt to strike a balance between the development of renewable and nonrenewable resources and the protection of fragile and unique resources. Under this alternative, seven areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs) would be designated. Water resources for wild horses and burros would be developed in herd management areas, and the horses and burros would be managed to ensure a natural, thriving ecological balance consistent with the principles of multiple use. Approximately 430,000 acres would closed to off-highway-vehicle (OHV) use, and OHV access would be restricted on an additional 820,000 acres. Some 668 miles of utility corridors would be designated in areas where industry has indicated a need for electric transmission lines that would join corridors in adjoining jurisdictions. Pipelines would also follow these routes. Livestock would be restricted or excluded from 12,163 acres, and grazing management would be implemented on 33.3 miles of stream. Firewood would be harvested from 11,850 acres, with a 1,000-cord restriction on the amount cut annually being imposed. Approximately 72,640 acres of important wildlife habitat would be protected from land disposal and land use authorizations. Mineral leasing under standard terms and conditions would be allowed in 98.3 percent of the resource area, with 3,264 acres to be closed, 53,801 acres to have no-surface-occupancy restrictions, and 49,000 acres to have seasonal restrictions. Mineral entry would be allowed in 98.8 percent of the resource area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The designation of the ACECs and the restrictions on OHV use would benefit four sensitive species: the Railroad Valley springfish, Amargosa toad, Oasis Valley speckled dace, and desert tortoise. Habitat would benefit from the implementation of the findings of a rangeland monitoring and evaluation program. Wildlife would benefit from the protection of 72,640 acres of important habitat from land disposal and land use authorizations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Proposed restrictions on grazing would adversely affect the livestock industry in the area, resulting in a gross income loss of roughly $300,000. Oil and gas development could disturb up to 944 acres as a result of well pad, access road, and facility construction.

In addition to serving as a regional highway, the Route 16/302 corridor serves as the primary roadway for local traffic in and through Conway and North Conway. Over the last 25 years, a great deal of tourism-related development has occurred in the Mount Washington Valley, primarily in the Route 16/302 corridor. In addition to a No-Build Alternative and a number of Transportation Systems Management (TSM) and Transportation Demand Management alternatives, a total of 14 build alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 9A) would involve the phased construction of a two-lane bypass south and east of Conway that would be approximately 12 miles long; the bypass would extend east of the Mineral Spring Wetland System and west of Pudding Pond. This alternative would also provide for the upgrading of Route 16/302 within Conway in the vicinity of Mountain Valley Mall and Settlers Green; consolidated curb cuts from the intersection of Routes 16 /302 to Artist Falls Road; minor rehabilitation of US 302 from NH Route 113 to Route 16 to facilitate construction of the bypass; and some TSM improvements. In addition, all local roads upgraded as part of the project would have adequate shoulders that would function as bicycle ways. The estimated construction costs of the preferred alternative are $69.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed bypass would relieve traffic congestion and improve safety along the Route 16/302 corridor, and improve local travel and regional access to the northern part of the state. Traffic congestion would diminish within the two villages, enhancing their historic character. Emergency vehicle access would improve. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 52 residences and 2 businesses; the loss of 322.1 total acres, including 8.4 acres of farmland and 27.4 acres of wetlands; the relocation of approximately 2,400 linear feet of a brook; the disturbance of 2 historic properties and 3 historic districts; and the acquisition of approximately 15.3 acres of parkland, causing some fragmentation of habitat, truncation of recreational trails, loss of public access to undeveloped land, and loss of aesthetic qualities. Some residences would experience an increase in noise levels. Approximately 5 acres of floodplain would also be affected.

AN - 36407971; 4082 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a permit for the construction and operation of a boric acid production mining and processing facility in San Bernardino County, California, is proposed. The project area is located in the Mojave Desert, approximately 35 miles east of the city of Barstow. The applicant, Fort Cady Minerals Corporation, proposes to establish a commercial in situ mine to recover boric acid for domestic and foreign use; the facility, which would occupy approximately 343 acres, would have the capacity to produce 90,000 tons of boric acid per year. Boric acid is used in the manufacture of over 150 different industrial products. The proposed action would involve extracting boric acid through the injection of a weak hydrochloric and/or sulfuric acid solution into the alkaline ore body 1,400 feet below the surface. Boric acid would form in the solution as a result of a chemical reaction between the injected acid and the alkaline elements; the solution would be extracted by a reverse pumping process. The extracted solution would be processed to precipitate boric acid crystals, and the crystals would be packaged for shipment or loaded for bulk delivery. The mining process would produce gypsum as a byproduct, which would probably be sold to the local cement industry or to producers of drywall or soil conditioners. Additional facilities would include a series of water wells and water lines that would respectively produce and route process water; a processing plant, occupying approximately 240,000 square feet, for developing the crystals and regenerating the acids used in the injection solution; a natural gas pipeline and electrical transmission line; a 16-acre deposition pond area to store gypsum; a railroad spur to provide bulk shipment capability; and a system of access roads. The project would employ approximately 80 full-time employees, who would work in alternating shifts 24 hours a day. The project is expected to operate for approximately 130 years. The only other alternative considered in this draft EIS is a No Action Alternative, although three alternate sites for the processing plant, which are located along the proposed access/ancillary facilities corridor between the proposed action site and the main local access road, are also considered. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing boric acid and gypsum to various industries, the project would stimulate the local economy and provide employment in an area currently experiencing high unemployment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Consumptive groundwater use, which would total approximately 161 acre-feet per year, would lead to local drawdown of, and could exceed the estimated safe yield of, the aquifer. Some development activities would interfere with the proposed Pisgah Crater Area of Critical Environmental Concern. Adverse cultural resource impacts could occur during construction of the project. Other adverse impacts, including the heightened susceptibility of disturbed areas to wind or water erosion; the disturbance of the habitat of the desert tortoise and other species; and the destruction of fossils during construction, would be reduced through land reclamation or other mitigation measures.

AN - 36405086; 4081 AB - PURPOSE: The authorization for the Bureau of Land Management to lease Forest Service lands within the Ochoco National Forest and Crooked River National Grassland in Oregon for oil and gas exploration is proposed. The study area encompasses approximately 956,877 acres in five central Oregon counties. The forest contains moderate-to-gentle slopes with elevations ranging from 2,200 to 7,000 feet. The grassland consists of rolling range interspersed with deep canyons and volcanic buttes. The study area has experienced little oil and gas exploration in the past, but the petroleum industry has expressed continuing interest in leasing specific lands. Issues identified in the scoping process include the effects of drill pads, access roads, and pipelines on water quality; the effects of oil and gas activities on big game; and the protection of old-growth areas, soils, and roadless areas. Four alternatives are considered in this draft EIS: a No Lease (No Action) Alternative (Alternative A); the Standard Lease Alternative (Alternative B), which would allow leasing without stipulations; the No Change Alternative (Alternative C), which would comply with the existing forest plan; and the Modified Plan Alternative (Alternative D, the preferred alternative), which would amend the forest plan to allow some leasing to occur. Under the preferred alternative, leases would include stipulations needed to protect surface resources and meet management objectives; leases would stipulate ""no surface occupancy'' on slopes greater than 40 percent; and any specific-use plans would require environmental analysis and documentation. Roughly 67 percent of the acreage would be available under standard lease terms, 23 percent under controlled use, and 6 percent under no controlled occupancy, while 4 percent would be legally unavailable. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Federal, state, and county revenues would increase slightly. Based on past drilling experience in the area, oil and gas activity would not be significant. Under the reasonably forseeable development scenario, five wells would be drilled over the next 10 to 15 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Exploration and development would result in a total surface disturbance of 671 acres over the next 10 to 15 years. Exposed soil resulting from road construction and exploration activities would lead to erosion and some increase in stream sedimentation. Oil and gas drilling in unallocated old-growth areas could result in severe adverse impacts to pileated woodpeckers.

AN - 36413491; 4130 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a football stadium by the Washington, District of Columbia, franchise of the National Football League, on federal property that is under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service, is proposed. The current home of the franchise, RFK Stadium, was designed for baseball, and its configuration does not have optimal sight lines for football. The seating capacity of RFK Stadium is also considerably lower than that found in contemporary football stadiums. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, a 78,600-seat stadium would be constructed north of RFK Stadium in Anacostia Park, in an area currently used for stadium event parking. Existing parking space supporting RFK Stadium would be reconfigured and reconstructed within the limits of the approximately 190-acre site to accommodate 18,500 automobiles, 200 buses, and other related vehicles. The proposed site plan would extend the landscape pattern of the surrounding neighborhood into the site area, provide enhanced open space along the edge of the Anacostia River, provide a landscaped buffer along the east side of Oklahoma Avenue, relocate the existing playground within the parking area to a site located within the Kingman Park neighborhood, relocate and depress the westbound spur of the Whitney A. Young Bridge/C Street, and modify the ring/surface road encircling RFK Stadium. The proposed stadium is scheduled to be completed in time for the 1995 football season. The stadium would be built, owned, and operated by JKC Stadium, Inc.; the construction cost would be $160 million. The District of Columbia would issue $46 million in revenue bonds to pay for the construction of all infrastructure and of the reconfigured parking areas in the site surrounding the proposed stadium; the bonds would be repaid by tax revenues generated by the stadium. Under the alternative action, RFK Stadium would be expanded and renovated to increase its seating capacity from 56,880 to 78,600. The expansion and renovation of the stadium would be the responsibility of the District of Columbia government. The estimated cost of the expanded stadium is $80 million; the estimated cost of site infrastructure and parking improvements is $36 million. Major issues considered in relation to the project alternatives include impacts to the local community in such areas as land use, community character and facilities, economic and fiscal conditions, cultural and aesthetic resources, air quality, noise levels, public health, water quality, geology and soils, hazardous wastes, urban systems, and transportation and traffic. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Stadium construction would provide economic benefits to the Washington-area construction industry, and stadium operation would provide economic benefits to the District of Columbia through income and retail tax revenues. Other project benefits would include additional landscaping in the area, improvements to the Anacostia River shoreline, and improved water quality measures for storm water drainage. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in the loss of 15 acres of open space and parkland within the project area; have a severe impact on the existing quality of views for adjacent residential areas; and increase traffic during stadium events and alter commuter routes to downtown Washington. Short-term adverse impacts to the quality of life for nearby residents, including elevated noise levels and concentrations of particulate matter during the construction period, and the disruption of local traffic patterns due to the reconstruction of C Street, would also occur as a result of the project. Impacts on other residential areas, historic resources, open spaces, other parklands, and important road corridors and entrances to Washington within the project area, and on distant viewpoints outside the project area, would be slight to moderate.

Preparation date: May 14, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NEWMONT GOLD COMPANY'S SOUTH OPERATIONS AREA PROJECT, ELKO AND EUREKA COUNTIES, NEVADA. AN - 36412136; 4084 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of an open-pit gold quarry mine, as well as the extraction of ore from two new open-pit mines, by the Newmont Gold Company in its South Operations Area, located in the Carlin Trend approximately six miles north of Carlin, Nevada, is proposed. In addition, Newmont would construct a haul road to carry mill-grade sulfidic ore from its North Operations Area to its South Operations Area for processing. The proposed expansion of the gold quarry mine would entail deepening the mine pit by approximately 775 feet below the water table; in the process, oxide and sulfide ores would be recovered. The project would disturb 1,573 acres in the South Operations Area, 763 acres of which are private lands and 810 acres of which are public lands. The disturbed area would include mine pits, leach pads, waste rock disposal areas, haul roads, and ancillary mine facilities. Development of the open-pit mines would disturb 197 acres. Mining in the South Operations Area is expected to continue through the year 2001, and ore processing would continue through 2009. Mining of the sulfidic ore below the water table would necessitate dewatering the mine pit; Newmont proposes to pump water at rates of up to 42,000 gallons per minute, treat the water to state of Nevada standards, cool the water to within two degrees centigrade of ambient water temperatures, and discharge the water into Maggie Creek near the mine site. Newmont also proposes to expand its existing Maggie Creek Ranch Reservoir to 6,000 acre-feet (af), in order to store excess water during periods of high natural stream flow. Waste rock generated during mining, an estimated 181 million tons, would be disposed of at the existing disposal site and at two new disposal sites; disposal operations would disturb 365 acres. Combined ore production for the three open pits is expected to be about 151 million tons; approximately seven million ounces of gold would be extracted. Proposed reclamation activities would include the neutralization of process solutions; the regrading of disturbance areas; the replacement of topsoil; and seeding, fertilizing, and mulching. The mine pits would not be reclaimed; however, each mine pit would be fenced. Major issues include impacts on fisheries and aquatic habitat from the discharge of large volumes of warm groundwater; the feasibility of backfilling one of the new open-pit mines with waste rock from the other new mine; and changes in the quantity and quality of surface water and groundwater resources within Maggie Creek Basin. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The Bureau of Land Management's preferred alternative combines the proposed action and Alternative 3, which includes the discharge of treated groundwater from the mine dewatering system directly into the Humboldt River via pipeline. In addition, modification of the Maggie Creek channel would be required to minimize erosion and sedimentation that would occur as a result of increased flows in lower Maggie Creek. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The discharge of excess water into Maggie Creek during the mine-dewatering period could create additional riparian vegetation and habitat. The discharged water would increase the growth rates of fish and other aquatic organisms by increasing water temperatures in Maggie Creek and the Humboldt River during the winter; during the summer, peak water temperatures would be slightly lowered, which could have a positive impact on fish. Temporary positive socioeconomic impacts would occur during the construction phase, when up to 758 temporary construction workers would be hired. Benefits to local communities would result from increased retail sales and short-term employment during the construction phase, and from property and mining tax revenues. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 25 spring and seep sites would be impacted by the reduction of 500,000 af of groundwater as a result of mine-dewatering activities. Complete recovery of the water table after cessation of mining activities could take nearly 100 years. In addition to increasing water temperatures in Maggie Creek and the Humboldt River, which could influence the composition of fish communities by affecting species survival and outcomes of competitive interactions for habitat and food, the discharge of warm groundwater into Maggie Creek during mine dewatering would result in increased sediment load and changes to channel stability in the creek. The habitat of the Lahontan cutthroat trout, which is federally listed as a threatened species, would be adversely impacted by flow reductions resulting from mine dewatering. A total of 1,356 acres of riparian vegetation would be affected by dewatering. Mining activities would disturb soils and vegetation on the 1,573 acres associated with the project, but most of the disturbance would be mitigated through reclamation activities. Livestock grazing and recreation resource acreage would be lost as a result of mining activities, and a major mule deer migration corridor would experience disruption.

AN - 36397169; 4079 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a permit to Washoe County, Nevada, for two rights-of-way across public land to enable the construction of a water pipeline and a natural gas pipeline, respectively, is proposed. The proposed water pipeline would cross 34 miles of public land and five miles of private land. It would begin at Fish Springs Ranch in Honey Lake Valley and end in Lemmon Valley north of Reno. The proposed gas pipeline would cross 33 miles of public land and 25 miles of private land. It would begin at an existing natural gas pipeline near Wadsworth and end in Honey Lake Valley. For approximately 29 miles, from northern Hungry Valley to Honey Lake Valley, the two pipelines would occupy the same right-of-way. Both pipelines would be buried to a depth of three feet and would require a right-of-way width of 100 feet. The water pipeline would have a diameter of 36 inches; the gas pipeline, six inches. The water pipeline would eventually transport up to 13,000 acre-feet of water annually and provide water to a population of 46,500. The natural gas transported by the gas pipeline would be used to power four turbines that would supply electrical power to a pumping station, wells, and related facilities in Honey Lake Valley. A buried water-collection pipeline system would be constructed at and near Fish Springs Ranch in Honey Lake Valley to connect the wells to the pumping station. Two water storage tanks would be constructed on public land on the east side of Lemmon Valley, off Chickadee Drive; each tank would be 105 feet in diameter and have a storage capacity of 2.5 million gallons. Approximately 502 acres of public land would be disturbed by the construction of the pipelines, storage tanks, and water-collection pipeline system. Most of the disturbed acreage would be reclaimed after construction, except for 15-foot-wide maintenance and access roads and other permanent structures associated with the pipelines. Four alternatives to the proposed action are considered in this draft EIS; they consist of three alternative routes and the No Action Alternative, which has three associated subalternatives that involve increased conservation and increased use of water from the Truckee River. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Regional studies have identified Lemmon and Spanish Springs valleys as areas with significant growth potential through the year 2007, but local jurisdictions and the state engineer's office have imposed development restrictions on each valley until additional water supplies are available. The proposed water pipeline would provide the necessary water supplies, and the gas pipeline would satisfy energy needs. Construction of the pipelines would require 40,000 person-days of employment over a period of nine months; construction crews would be drawn from the local work force to the extent possible. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would lower the groundwater table in eastern Honey Lake Valley and reduce the flow of groundwater to the Smoke Creek Desert, which could result in the loss of wetlands and a reduction in vegetation levels and wildlife dependent on that vegetation. The proposed action could also adversely affect plans by the Pyramid Lake Indian Tribe to develop irrigated farming in the southern Smoke Creek Desert, and interfere with efforts by the Sierra Army Depot to remediate groundwater contamination.

Preparation date: May 12, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NATCHEZ NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, ADAMS COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI. AN - 36415657; 4101 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan to guide the management, development, and use over the next 10 to 15 years of Natchez National Historical Park in Natchez, Mississippi, is proposed. The park is located on the Mississippi River approximately 100 miles southwest of Jackson. It comprises three separate properties: the Melrose estate (consisting of 78.6 acres in National Park Service ownership), an antebellum cotton plantation with a well-maintained Greek Revival mansion complete with original furnishings and intact outbuildings; the William Johnson complex (consisting of about one-third acre in NPS ownership), which contains the Greek Revival town house of a freed slave who became a successful businessman; and Fort Rosalie (consisting of 32.48 acres being acquired by the NPS), which was built by the French in 1715. Currently, the park has few visitor facilities, although Melrose is open for tours. The purpose of the park is to preserve and interpret the history of the Natchez region from prehistoric to modern times, with an emphasis on the pre- and post-Civil War eras. Three alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. Under the status quo alternative (Alternative 1), the major change from existing conditions would be the removal of all structures from Fort Rosalie except for the historic Stietenroth house, which would be used for NPS headquarters. The William Johnson house and the adjacent McCallum house would be open for interpretive exhibits on black history, and the Under-the-Hill area near the river would also have interpretive exhibits. Under Alternative 2, the proposed action, a downtown Natchez structure would be purchased and rehabilitated for use as NPS headquarters, with the Stietenroth house to be used as an interim headquarters; the Melrose estate would be restored to an appropriate period; the William Johnson complex would be open for more extensive interpretation of black history; most structures would be removed from Fort Rosalie, and trails and a picnic area added or upgraded, to provide a more parklike setting; a special history study would be conducted to provide necessary data for interpreting the role of plantation slavery and cotton production; and cooperative agreements with local and state governments, businesses, and owners of historic properties would be developed in order to provide technical assistance for preservation and interpretation. Alternative 3 is similar to Alternative 2, except that the Stietenroth house would be used as NPS headquarters; additional cooperative agreements concerning tours, special events, and design guidelines would be developed; and the NPS would negotiate a cooperative agreement for the preservation, restoration, and visitor use of an area cotton plantation, or would acquire such a plantation itself for visitor use. NPS staff would be increased to 40 under Alternative 2 and to 44 under Alternative 3. Costs of implementing the management plan would range from $5.26 million to $17.24 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under all the alternatives, the bluff near Fort Rosalie would be stabilized to prevent further erosion; interpretation and protection of cultural and historical resources would be enhanced; and increased visitation to the area would benefit the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under Alternative 1, if all structures but the Stietenroth house were removed from Fort Rosalie, nine families and three businesses would be displaced. Under Alternatives 2 and 3, construction of visitor facilities would disturb approximately 6.5 acres and displace small mammals and birds. Increased visitation would increase wear and tear on historic structures and erosion at Fort Rosalie. It could also cause local traffic congestion, a lack of parking, and increases in crime.

HTAS provides a series of tools to delineate watershed and subwatershed boundaries from digital elevation data. The programs permit automatic delineation of watersheds at a regular flow accumulation interval, as well as delineation of watersheds for user specified pour points, linear features (e.g., dams), and polygonal features (e.g., lakes and reservoirs). The programs also permit filling of large depressions in digital elevation models (DEMs) to identify depositional basins, detection of drainage patterns to predict flow along a landscape, and determination of overland flow path from point sources such as a spring or a source of pollution. The author also suggests various possible resource and environmental modeling applications of the HTAS, some of which have already been developed.

AN - 36409875; 4031 AB - PURPOSE: The reintroduction of the black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) in the Conata Basin/Badlands area of southwestern South Dakota is proposed. The species was listed as endangered in 1967, and the proposed reintroduction would seek to reestablish the species in its former habitat. The black-footed ferret is almost totally dependent on the prairie dog ecosystem, which has been substantially reduced since the early 1900s. Ferrets prey almost exclusively on prairie dogs and live in prairie dog burrows. The use of rodenticides to control prairie dog populations and increased agricultural tillage have contributed to the near-extinction of black-footed ferrets. The major focal issues associated with the proposed reintroduction concern its possible effects on prairie dog management, recreational prairie dog shooting, private landowners, and the reintroduction site. Five alternative plans (Alternatives A to E), including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative C), the black-footed ferret would be reintroduced onto approximately 42,000 acres in the Badlands National Park (BNP) and the Buffalo Gap National Grassland (BGNP), areas that contain approximately 8,000 acres of prairie dog colonies. Initial releases would take place in the BNP. Public access within 200 yards of release sites would be discouraged by the use of advisory signs, and additional restrictions would be placed on prairie dog shooting if it placed the ferret population at greater risk. In addition, fur harvesters would be prohibited from the use of leg-hold traps and snares. The proposed reintroduction would require changing the legal status of the black-footed ferret from endangered to an experimental designation within the project area, as well as modifying the local forest plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action, if successful, would restore a species that is presently virtually extinct in the wild and would introduce additional wildlife diversity to the area. It would also provide information on the area's cultural and paleontological resources through surveys. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: In addition to possibly restricting prairie dog shootings in the BGNP, the preferred alternative would close some sections within the BGNP to off-road-vehicle use.

AN - 36397424; 3996 AB - PURPOSE: The authorization for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to lease Forest Service (FS) lands for oil and gas exploration and development within the Beartooth Ranger District of Custer National Forest in Montana is proposed. The study area encompasses approximately 178,110 acres in the Beartooth Mountains outside of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Area, and within the greater Yellowstone area which surrounds Yellowstone National Park. The study area has experienced oil and gas exploration since the late 1880s, but the most recent drilling sites have been abandoned, as they were determined not to contain economically advantageous quantities of oil or gas. The petroleum industry has expressed continuing interest in leasing specific lands; about 46,000 acres are currently leased within the study area. The FS proposes the following actions: to reconsider Custer National Forest Land Management Plan (forest plan) leasing conditions; to display which National Forest System and split-estate lands are administratively available for leasing; to identify specific lease stipulations applicable to those lands; and to authorize BLM to offer specific administratively available lands and other lands for leasing. In addition, BLM would be responsible for applying environmental and cultural protection requirements to the leases it issues, and the FS could amend the forest plan to include site-specific changes as indicated in the analysis. The key issues identified include the impacts of exploration and drilling on soil, vegetation, fish and wildlife habitat, aesthetic values, recreation, cultural resources, roadless and wilderness areas, the quality of life, and economic stability and revenue. Four availability alternatives (including a No-Availability Alternative) and six leasing alternatives (including a No-New-Leasing Alternative) are considered in this final EIS. The availability alternatives differ primarily in whether a 1,000-acre core area in Management Area C would be made available for leasing. The leasing alternatives differ in the amount of acreage that would be covered under various leasing terms and stipulations. Leasing Alternative 4A with Availability Alternative B1 is the preferred alternative, under which 124,230 acres would be available. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Federal, state, and county revenue returns from bonus bids and rentals would total approximately $1.0 million. Up to 131 local jobs, with $2.71 million in earnings, could be generated. Additional cultural resources, known to be extant in the study area, would be identified during exploration. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately half of the study area consists of fragile and high-hazard soils, including alpine soils, which are very vulnerable to disturbances from road use and vegetation removal, compaction, erosion, and permafrost melt. The displacement or habitat disturbance of several threatened, endangered, and sensitive; big game; and other wildlife species would occur, and would only be partially minimized by mitigation actions. Drilling activity, road construction, and field development would degrade visual, water resource, and air quality.

The geographic scope of this analysis is the Columbia River Basin from the Bonneville Dam in Oregon and Washington upstream to the middle Snake River reservoirs in Idaho, and north along the mainstem to Mica Dam in British Columbia, Canada. Federal and nonfederal reservoir projects in the United States and Canada that influence flows past the eight run-of-river dams on the lower Columbia and Snake rivers are included in the analysis. The dams are operated to meet multiple purposes, including navigation, flood control, hydropower, recreation, irrigation, and fish and wildlife habitat. For the purposes of the study, drawdown and augmentation alternatives and combinations thereof have been analyzed. The drawdown scheme would involve lowering reservoir elevations at the affected reservoirs during all or part of the smolt migration. Eight options, including two different timing scenarios for two of the drawdown options, have been identified to represent the range of drawdown alternatives. Six of these options would apply to the lower Snake River dams, while the remaining two would apply to the Columbia River dams. The flow augmentation regimes would involve discharging additional water during the spring migration season to increase river flow. As with the drawdown alternatives, a wide variety of options to increase river flows are under consideration. Eight specific flow augmentation options for the Snake River have been identified; these options involve modifications to existing Water Budget releases, sometimes in combination with the application of flood control rule curves and/or shifts of system flood control capacity from the Dworshak and Brownlee dams to the Grand Coulee Dam. Volumes considered under the augmentation plans include 600,000 to 1.2 million acre-feet from Dworshak, up to 200,000 acre-feet from Brownlee, and up to 200,000 acre-feet from multiple smaller sources above Brownlee. The most extreme case would involve using the full storage available at Brownlee and Dworshak, if required, to meet a 140 cubic-foot-per-second flow target. In addition to the supplemental water that could be added to the Snake River, Columbia River flows could be augmented by releases from the Grand Coulee and Arrow dams. Storage releases for temperature control are also under consideration. A monitoring program would be implemented in association with the project. [The Department of Energy, Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), has adopted the Army Corps of Engineers' (COE's) final EIS filed with the Environmental Protection Agency on January 16, 1992. The BPA was a cooperating agency in the preparation of the COE's EIS.] POSITIVE IMPACTS: By increasing flows for upstream and downstream migration and temperature control, the plan would improve the ability of salmon populations to spawn and migrate within the Columbia River system. As a result, populations could increase significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Releases would result in noticeable increases in downstream turbidity and gas saturation that would exceed government standards. All adult fish passage would be eliminated during drawdown and reservoir refilling, including passage of all spring and summer chinook. Temperature changes in the rivers could negatively impact the early portion of adult upstream runs each year. Resident fish habitat would be decreased, and wetland and island habitats would be altered substantially. Wave erosion would accompany releases. Barge transportation on the Snake River would be affected, and hydroelectric and irrigation capacity would be impacted negatively.

Preparation date: April 20, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTH FORK EEL RIVER MANAGEMENT PLAN AND ELKHORN RIDGE TIMBER SALE, MENDOCINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF AUGUST 1990). AN - 36410902; 4008 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed for the South Fork Eel River Management Area in the Arcata Resource Area of the Ukiah District in Mendocino County, California. The river, which has been designated for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, flows for approximately 17 miles between Branscomb on the south and its confluence with the Main Stem Eel River just north of Weott. It flows through lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management beginning just above Horseshoe Bend, north of the Northern California Coast Range Preserve/Elder Creek Area of Critical Environmental Concern, and continuing eight miles northward to Highway 101. In 1981, 11 miles of the South Fork Eel River became part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. In 1979, and again in 1989, public lands surrounding the river were inventoried for wilderness suitability; both inventories found the area unsuitable for wilderness study. The primary purpose of the management plan is to develop detailed guidelines for management of the wild and recreational segments of the river and adjacent lands and to designate an official wild and scenic river boundary. Issues of special interest in relation to this plan include recreational use of the river corridor, fire management, timber management, and spotted owl habitat. The scope of the plan would include management objectives for protection of riparian values, water quality, fisheries, wildlife, visual quality, and recreation resources within the river corridor. Upland areas would be managed primarily for wildlife protection, forest production, and land-based recreation. For the purposes of management, three river segments have been identified. Segment 1, which would be designated a recreational river, flows from near Branscomb and through the Northern California Coastal Range Preserve to Horseshoe Bend. Segment 2, which would be designated a wild river, enters public lands at section 8, township 22N, range 16W, and extends for eight miles. Segment 3, which would be designated a recreational river, begins at the middle of section 29 and continues north to the river's confluence with the Main Eel River. River management would emphasize acquisition of easements over fee simple acquisition of lands and reliance on local governments for protection of river values. This draft supplement to the draft EIS of August 1990 analyzes the effects of the proposed management plan and the Elkhorn Ridge timber sale on the northern spotted owl, which was officially listed as a threatened species following release of the draft EIS. The draft supplement also examines the effects of the proposed plan on anadramous fish, water quality, scenic quality, and other wildlife values. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in the draft supplement. Under the proposed action, there would be no additional green timber sales; the corridor width on each side of the river would be one-quarter mile to one mile; a 750-foot reserve area (with approximately 375 feet on both sides of the channel) would be provided along the lower portion of the drainage in the northwestern portion of section 17 to ensure protection of water quality and wildlife; and other mitigations involving landings, road construction, and stream-side buffers would be incorporated to protect fisheries and water quality values. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The river would be managed to preserve its natural qualities within the wild segment and to maintain its recreational values within the segments classified as recreational. The free-flowing condition and natural character of the river would be preserved, as would its water quality and archaeological, historical, cultural, and scientific resources. Approximately 7,000 acres of relatively undisturbed wildlife habitat, including 3,000 acres of old-growth habitat, would be protected. The proposed action would have a minimal impact at most on the wildlife resources studied in this draft supplement. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The development of campsites and harvesting of timber along the river could result in some visual intrusions. The removal of 3,500 Douglas-fir/hardwood trees would impact 239 acres of roosting and nesting habitat for the spotted owl but would not jeopardize the survival and recovery of the species. The removal of two-thirds of the conifer overstory on 239 acres and the disturbance of the forest floor would have an adverse impact on other wildlife species.

AN - 36413170; 4026 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for approximately 90,000 surface acres, 520,000 acres of split-estate minerals, and 1.2 million acres of federal mineral estate underlying other federal surface management agency (SMA) lands in Oklahoma is proposed. When completed, the plan would provide a comprehensive framework for managing and allocating federal lands and minerals in Oklahoma for the next 20 years. Four alternatives are considered in this draft EIS; each plan responds in a different way to several major planning issues: whether restrictions should be placed on oil and gas leasing in certain areas; which coal-bearing tracts should be considered for competitive coal leasing; and what type of management method should be used for public lands along the Red River in Oklahoma from the 98th meridian of west longitude to the mouth of the North Fork of the river. Under the preferred plan (Alternative D), a balanced approach would be taken to resource development and protection. Approximately 1.5 million acres would be open to oil and gas leasing subject to stipulations required by law, regulation, and the policies of the Bureau of Land Management and the SMA; of that total, 519,252 acres would be split-estate. Approximately 20 wells per year would be drilled on federal oil and gas leases. Tracts identified by the coal industry would be considered for leasing provided that certain protection criteria were satisfied. Among the areas unsuitable for leasing would be federal lands within rights-of-way or easements, buffer zones along rights-of-way and residences, active eagle nest sites, and floodplains. Several scenarios are being considered for management of the Red River area because the area itself cannot be defined until Congress establishes a permanent boundary between Oklahoma and Texas. The land to be managed in the Red River area ranges in size from 958 to 90,000 acres, depending on the scenario. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Full implementation of the plan would result in both managed use of resources and preservation of the character of the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, oil and gas development would have an adverse effect on surface and subsurface water quality, soils, and vegetation. The loss of vegetation (approximately 4.25 acres of vegetation per oil and gas well site) would be short-term, however, with proper reclamation following drilling. Impacts resulting from coal development would include the following: the degradation of air quality due to an increase in vehicular traffic and mining operations; the alteration of topographic relief; disturbances to soil strata and soil rehabilitation; impacts to surface water and groundwater quantity and quality; the alteration of wildlife habitats as a result of the mechanical alteration of vegetation; impacts to visual resources through topographic and vegetative alteration; and impacts to cultural resources and any sacred, ceremonial, or religious areas considered important by local Indian tribes.

Preparation date: March 31, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SALINAS VALLEY SEAWATER INTRUSION PROGRAM: CASTROVILLE IRRIGATION WATER SUPPLY PROJECT AND WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY FOR CROP IRRIGATION PROJECT, MONTEREY COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36398412; 4063 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to reduce the rate of seawater intrusion into groundwater in the Castroville area of the Salinas Valley in California is proposed. The study area is approximately 70 miles long and extends from Bradley to Monterey Bay. In the southern part of the valley, south of Gonzales, the basin is a relatively homogeneous, unconfined aquifer. In the northern part of the valley, the groundwater basin is divided by three distinct clay layers that separate the basin into three aquifers, the 180-foot aquifer, the 400-foot aquifer, and the deep aquifer. Valley groundwater is recharged via the bed of the Salinas River, the deep percolation of rainfall and irrigation water, and underground flow from the surrounding foothills. Virtually all of the water used in the Salinas Valley is groundwater. Of the 25 alternatives originally considered, five were selected for detailed evaluation in the draft EIS: Alternative 1 (No Project), Alternative 2 (Water Supply Project without Reclaimed Wastewater), Alternative 3 (Proposed Water Supply Project with Reclaimed Wastewater), Alternative 4 (Arroyo Seco Project), and Alternative 5 (Extraction Barrier). Alternative 3, the plan sponsored by the Monterey County Water Resources Agency, was modified for presentation in this final EIS. (The Marina/Fort Ord Water Supply Project portion of the proposed program was eliminated from consideration due to environmental concerns.) In brief, the modified plan would involve construction of a tertiary treatment plant and a conveyance pipeline from the treatment plant to the Castroville irrigation system, plus a water pipeline distribution system to provide reclaimed wastewater primarily to Castroville-area farms for agricultural irrigation. The conveyance pipeline would have a much shorter length than was originally proposed, limiting the overall impact of the project on riparian habitat. In addition, the local agency would acquire or regulate all existing and future wells in the Castroville area to minimize the pumping of groundwater in and near the seawater intrusion areas. The proposed modifications in the plan would mean that Castroville-area farms would rely exclusively on reclaimed wastewater most of the year and on a combination of reclaimed wastewater and groundwater during the summer; there would be no need for increased water deliveries from the Nacimiento and San Antonio reservoirs nor any need for the construction of diversion structures along the Salinas River. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Saltwater intrusion into the study area would decline by 44 percent, enabling the provision of a long-term water supply to meet demands for municipal and agricultural interests. The provision of a safe, adequate water supply would allow for the recovery of groundwater levels in the pressure area and the continuation of irrigated farming and municipal development; prevent a decline in agricultural productivity and land values, and an escalation of water costs; preclude legal disputes over water rights; and prevent degradation of water supplies for the city of Salinas. As a result of modifications in the original plan, the permanent loss of wetlands would be reduced from 23 acres to about one acre. Less than one acre of marshland would be temporarily disturbed during construction. Energy use for groundwater pumping would decrease due to higher groundwater levels in the Eastside and the pressure area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: In its crossing of the Salinas River, the pipeline connecting to the tertiary treatment plant could temporarily affect sediment load in the river, reducing the feeding efficiency of resident fish and degrading their spawning and rearing habitat. Fish migration could also be temporarily affected. Slightly less than one acre of riparian habitat would be displaced as a result of construction (in contrast to 14.9 acres under the original plan).

Preparation date: March 31, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TIMPANOGOS CAVE NATIONAL MONUMENT, UTAH COUNTY, UTAH. AN - 36404900; 4032 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for development and visitor use of the Timpanogos Cave National Monument in Utah is proposed. The project site, which consists of a series of three limestone caves located on 250 acres within the Wasatch Mountains, was established as a national monument in 1922. The American Fork River flows through the monument from east to west; it varies from a small brook in the winter months to an extremely swift and dangerous river during early summer. Scoping issues identified in developing the proposed and alternative plans include visitor and employee safety, circulation and congestion of vehicles and pedestrians, floodplain management, geologic hazards, avalanches, administration and maintenance, housing, natural and cultural resources management, and interpretation for visitors. The overall intent of the proposed plan is to manage the monument as a day-use area, giving special attention to resolving the safety issues associated with the geologic and avalanche hazard zones, the floodplains, probable maximum flooding, and conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians. The proposed plan would give priority to replacing the temporary trailer that was installed after the visitor/administrative facilities were destroyed by fire in 1991. A 2,900-square-foot visitor facility and a maintenance facility of similar proportions would be built just outside the monument grounds on lands administered by the Forest Service. Visitors would be transported to monument grounds via shuttle buses, and a pedestrian trail would be built from the picnic area to the historic district. Concession operations would be discontinued. Employee residences and other support facilities on monument grounds would be razed in order to restore the area to natural conditions. The proposed project would be developed in three stages at a total cost of approximately $7.1 million. Annual operating and maintenance costs would increase by $250,000, to $699,000. Three other alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are also considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By moving people from the geologic hazard areas and the 100-and 500-year floodplains, the proposed plan would significantly reduce the threats to human life. In addition, conflicts between pedestrian and vehicular access would be resolved by the prohibition of vehicles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Parking and other facilities would be built within the floodplains. The closing of concession operations would result in the loss of 2.5 jobs. Some historic structures would be removed as a result of the proposed project.

AN - 36410854; 3994 AB - PURPOSE: The drilling of an exploratory oil and gas well in the Miccosukee Indian Reservation in Broward County, Florida, is proposed by Shell Western E&P, Inc. The proposed site is located on pastureland near the intersection of Interstate 75 and South Florida Water Management District Canal L-28, approximately 40 miles west of the city of Fort Lauderdale. The proposed action would involve drill site construction, improvement of access roads, exploratory drilling, well evaluation and testing, and temporary abandonment if the well were capable of production, or final abandonment, plugging, and reclamation if the well were dry. The well would be directionally drilled to a measured depth of 18,850 feet (or a true vertical depth of 17,730 feet), with the bottom hole to be located approximately 4,700 feet east of the surface site. Construction of the drill site would take approximately 30 days, drilling and evaluation another 145 days, testing another 30 days, and reclamation another 120 days. The drill site would occupy approximately five acres of land. The rig and associated equipment would be located on a specially designed pad built of selected fill material topped with 18 inches of crushed limerock, compacted to 12 inches. The drill site would include a four-foot perimeter berm that would be built with three feet of select fill and one foot of crushed limestone to minimize erosion during rainstorms. The area under the rig equipment would be trenched and a plastic liner installed to minimize the possibility of contaminants leaching into the soil. The fluids that collected in the plastic liner would be pumped to a storage tank and used in the drilling fluid. A No Action Alternative is the only alternative to the proposed action, although three alternative systems of access roads are also considered in this draft EIS. The proposed access route would be an existing earthen berm approximately 15 feet wide and consisting of a one-lane, rock-filled roadbed. The route would be improved to handle the weight and traffic of rig and testing equipment. Selected locations would be widened for vehicle turnouts to allow the safe passing of opposing traffic. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The well would provide information on the potential for economically extracting oil and gas from subsurface reserves located within the area. The Miccosukee Tribe would realize economic benefits from the collection of lease fees. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The potential would exist for the contamination of surface waters by spilled fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, and oil that could be obtained during production testing. Local freshwater aquifers could be contaminated by the leakage of drilling fluids or produced oil and by the mixing of groundwater between aquifers. Disturbance associated with this alternative would affect only the five acres set aside for exploratory activity; the proposed access route would disturb 0.4 acres at each vehicle turnout.

Preparation date: March 10, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE BIG DRY RESOURCE AREA, MILES CITY DISTRICT, MONTANA. AN - 36404820; 4018 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for approximately 9.3 million acres of public land in the Big Dry Resource Area in eastern Montana is proposed. The resource area extends throughout a 13-county region containing approximately 17.5 million acres, including 1.7 million acres in which the surface is federally owned and 7.6 million acres in which the minerals are federally owned. The plan focuses on two issues: the designation of areas with special values or resources as special management areas, and the accessibility and availability of resources. Four alternative plans, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative D), a balanced approach to resource development and conservation in resolving issues involving mineral development, timber management, and livestock grazing would be sought. The following five cultural sites would be designated as areas of critical environmental concern and remove them from consideration for mineral sales or permits: Hoe (144 public surface and mineral acres), Powder River Depot (1,386 public surface and 1,098 public mineral acres), Big Sheep Mountain (360 public surface and mineral acres), Seline (80 public surface and mineral acres), and Jordan Bison Kill (160 public surface and 120 public mineral acres). Three areas containing a total of 40,541 mineral acres would be set aside as paleontological areas, although mineral exploration and leasing could be allowed on those lands. Rights-of-way would also be avoided in Makoshika State Park, in special wildlife areas, and in special recreation areas (10,148 acres). A 69-acre parcel would be designated as the Calypso Recreation Area. Some 2,858 acres of land would be designated as the Cherry Creek Recreation Area, in which a dam with a 50-foot pool depth would be built. A 171-acre area would be designated as the Powder River Depot Recreation Area, in which only oil and gas leasing would be allowed, with a no-surface-occupancy stipulation. Fallon County would receive 640 acres of public lands for a sanitary landfill. Development of coal would be considered on 583,561 acres containing 6.22 billion tons of coal. Approximately 1.6 million acres would have limited off-road-vehicle use, while vehicles would be allowed without restrictions on 3,440 acres. Special areas would be set aside to protect the black-footed ferret (1,151 acres) and the piping plover (16 acres). Approximately 10,012 acres would be closed to oil and gas leasing. Livestock grazing would be excluded in the Calypso, Cherry Creek, and Powder River Depot special recreation management areas and, from May 1 to July 15, in the Piping Plover Area of Critical Environmental Concern. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Full implementation of the plan would result in both managed use of resources and preservation of the character of the area. The proposed plan would increase the number and type of recreational opportunities available; enhance the protection of fish and wildlife; and increase recreation-related employment and businesses in the local area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Up to 273 cultural sites have been identified in the acreage set aside for coal leasing, and these areas would require special protection. Four to five additional sites are located in areas set aside for off-road-vehicle use. Over the next 20 years, the gamut of permitted-development and recreation activities in the project area would encounter up to 2,094 cultural properties, of which up to 296 properties would be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Reduced animal unit months for livestock grazing would result in temporary economic hardship for ranchers; approximately ten operations would be affected.

Preparation date: March 8, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RECLAMATION ACT OF 1982 IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY PROJECT, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36409896; 4007 AB - PURPOSE: The application of regulations promulgated under the Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 (RRA) to the Central Valley Project (CVP), a Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) water project in southern California, is proposed. The purpose of the RRA was to modernize the reclamation law describing the limitations on lands eligible to receive BOR project water. The RRA applies to all lands held in districts subject to acreage limitations throughout the 17 western states, including the CVP, which extends for approximately 430 miles, from the Shasta Reservoir in the Sacramento Valley to south of Bakersfield in the San Joaquin Valley. In March 1992, the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of California ruled that regulations issued under the authority of the RRA constituted a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment and thus requiring an EIS, and further ordered the BOR to issue interim rules applicable to the CVP. Under the preferred alternative, a No Action Alternative, regulations essentially identical to the existing regulations would be issued for the CVP. The preferred alternative would be an interim action until September 1994, when new regulations would be adopted for all reclamation projects. Two other alternatives are also considered in this draft EIS. The alternatives differ in their eligibility standards for non-full-cost entitlements, definitions of the term ""lease,'' requirements for water conservation plans, and exemptions from RRA certification and reporting requirements. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, minimal disruption would take place because the status quo would be maintained until new regulations were promulgated. Changing the regulations during this interim period would create administrative difficulties. Any effort to create regulations for the CVP that are significantly different from regulations in other reclamation projects could violate equal protection standards. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased groundwater use could occur under any of the alternatives if BOR water were no longer affordable or available to certain landholders. The impacts of increased groundwater use could include the degradation of groundwater quality; the lowering of water levels in wells, which could cause wells to go dry; changes in shallow groundwater levels and drainage; and decreases in stream flow where groundwater flows into water courses or drainage conveyances.

Preparation date: March 5, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NORTH SLOPE OIL AND GAS LEASING, ASHLEY AND WASATCH-CACHE NATIONAL FORESTS, SUMMIT AND DAGGETT COUNTIES, UTAH, AND UINTA COUNTY, WYOMING. AN - 36409600; 3997 AB - PURPOSE: The Forest Service (FS) proposes to make most of the National Forest System lands on the North Slope of the Uinta Mountains in northeastern Utah and southwestern Wyoming available for oil and gas leasing, and to authorize the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to offer certain lands for leasing. BLM proposes to offer for leasing all lands that are authorized by the FS. The North Slope area under study consists of approximately 270,000 acres in portions of the Evanston and Mountain View ranger districts in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest, and the Flaming Gorge Ranger District in Ashley National Forest, located within Summit and Daggett counties in Utah and Uinta County in Wyoming. The area comprises 242,896 acres with federal jurisdiction over surface and mineral rights, and 3,310 acres with private surface rights and federal mineral rights. Oil and gas activities would take place on 40,947 acres, of which 34,189 contain a no-surface-occupancy stipulation. It is projected that 15 exploration wells would be drilled in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest through 2005, and that this would result in the discovery of two or three new fields with a total of 14 development wells. If three new fields were discovered, two would most likely be clustered in one area. The Moxa Arch play has the best prospects for oil and gas, and 11 exploratory wells are projected to be drilled there. In addition, one or two exploratory wells each are projected to be drilled in the North Flank Fault and the Hogsback (Darby) thrust areas. In Ashley National Forest, one exploratory well is projected to be drilled but is not expected to result in a discovery. Seven alternatives, including the No-Lease Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative P), all federal minerals within the study area would be made administratively available for leasing, and BLM would be authorized to offer these lands for leasing with protective lease stipulations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Should oil and gas reserves be discovered, development of these resources could help reduce the nation's dependence on imported petroleum. Local economic benefits from wages would total $41.9 million to $50.9 million depending on the amount of oil and gas produced. Royalties paid to the U.S. Treasury would total $40.2 million to $69.2 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, short-term disruptions to elk habitat would occur on about 14,800 acres, while long-term disruptions (over the life of the oil and gas fields) would occur on about 7,000 acres. Direct, unavoidable adverse impacts would occur on nine acres of roadless resource in Ashley National Forest and 176 acres in Wasatch-Cache. Minimal impacts to soil integrity, air quality, groundwater, and recreation and visual resources would occur as a result of lease development.

AN - 36412069; 3936 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed for 129,000 acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public lands and 167,500 acres of federal mineral estate within the South Coast Planning Area of California. The federal mineral estate acreage consists of lands whose surface is privately owned (BLM split-estate lands). The BLM public holdings, which include surface as well as subsurface federal ownership, consist of 296 separate parcels scattered throughout portions of five southern California counties; approximately 95 percent of these lands are in San Diego and Riverside counties, while the remainder are in San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Orange counties. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed management plan for the San Diego County holdings, which include 65,000 acres of surface holdings and 74,000 acres of mineral estate in the western portions of the county, would involve the designation of Cedar Canyon as an area of critical environmental concern (ACEC) for the protection of populations of a sensitive plant species, the Mexican flannelbush; the designation of lands at Tecate Peak and Little Tecate Peak as the Kuchamaa ACEC, for the protection of Native American religious values; the implementation of habitat management in the vicinity of McAlmond Canyon and Hauser Mountain; the protection of riparian values in the Fern Creek and Rainbow Creek parcels; and the designation of all public lands in the area south of Interstate 8 as the Border Mountains Special Recreation Management Area. The Riverside-San Bernardino County Management Area includes 30,000 acres of BLM public land and an additional 35,000 acres of BLM split-estate land with federal minerals in the two counties' western portions lying outside the California Desert Conservation Area. The management plan for this area would involve the designation of three ACECs to protect the Stephens' kangaroo rat, the slender-horned spineflower, the Santa Anna River woolly-star, and lands within and adjacent to the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve; the management of habitat for sensitive species on lands at Oak Mountain, near Valle Vista, and in the Badlands area east of Riverside; and the establishment of the Soboba Special Recreation Management Area. Management of the Beauty Mountain Management Area, which includes 28,500 acres of BLM public land and 21,500 acres of BLM split-estate land lying north of State Highway 79, south of the Cahuilla Indian Reservation, and west of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, would involve the designation of two ACECs to protect important watershed and riparian values, and unique vegetation resources and research opportunities; the designation of a wildlife habitat management area; the establishment of the Beauty Mountain Special Recreation Management Area; and the implementation of land tenure adjustments. Management of the Los Angeles-Orange County Management Area, which includes 5,500 acres of BLM public land and 36,000 acres of BLM split-estate land in the portion of Los Angeles County outside the California Desert Conservation Area, would involve administrative adjustments through land disposal and land transfer to other agencies. Approximately 1,200 acres would be considered suitable for jurisdictional exchange with the Forest Service; the remaining lands would be considered suitable for disposal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to consolidating public land holdings in the planning areas, the management schemes would provide for protection of wildlife and plant life, including endangered and threatened species. Recreational and religious values would also be protected, as would wetland and other water-related resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some land designations and management strategies would conflict with existing or proposed land uses. Land tenure adjustments would negatively affect some wildlife species and vegetation and would result in a net loss of open space. Restrictions placed on development, particularly within ACECs, could result in the loss of opportunities to develop mineral resources.

Preparation date: February 25, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - INTERIM COLUMBIA AND SNAKE RIVER FLOW IMPROVEMENT MEASURES FOR SALMON; OREGON, WASHINGTON, AND IDAHO (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1992). AN - 36409528; 3977 AB - PURPOSE: The modification of flow regimes associated with eight projects on the Columbia River and its tributaries in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington is proposed in order to improve the Pacific salmon fishery. The Columbia River and its tributaries form the dominant water system in the Pacific Northwest. The geographic scope of this analysis is the Columbia River Basin from the Bonneville Dam in Oregon upstream to Brownlee Reservoir on the middle Snake River in Idaho, and farther upstream to Arrow Lakes on the upper Columbia River in Canada. The water management actions under consideration would be implemented at three storage reservoirs (Dworshak, Grand Coulee, and Brownlee) and five mainstream run-of-river dams operated by the Corps of Engineers. The dams are operated to meet multiple purposes, including navigation, flood control, hydropower, recreation, irrigation, and fish and wildlife habitat. This final supplement to the final EIS of January 1992 responds to two actions of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS): in November 1991, NMFS declared the Snake River sockeye salmon an endangered species, and in April 1992, NMFS listed the Snake River fall and spring /summer chinook salmon as a threatened species. In taking these actions, NMFS identified hydropower development within the Columbia River Basin as one of the factors contributing to the decline of salmon populations. The final EIS had recommended increasing the velocity of river flow to move the juvenile salmon downstream more rapidly and reduce their exposure to predators, but the scope of that EIS was limited to actions to be implemented in 1992. This final supplement considers the implementation of flow improvement measures for 1993 and subsequent years. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in the final supplement. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 4), most actions occurring during the 1992 operating year would be recommended for 1993 and thereafter, except for the March drawdown test. These actions include lowering pool elevations at the affected reservoirs during all or part of the smolt migration, and discharging additional water during the spring migration season to increase river flow. Volumes to be discharged under the Snake River flow augmentation plan include 900,000 acre-feet (af) in the spring (if the runoff forecast is above 16 million af; otherwise one million af) and 470,000 af in the summer from Dworshak; 137,000 af in July and 100,000 af in September from Brownlee; and 190,000 af in the spring, 137,000 af in August, and 100,000 af in September from the upper Snake River. Under the Columbia River flow augmentation plan, up to three million af would be discharged from Grand Coulee and the upper Columbia River. The estimated direct costs for the operation of the preferred alternative range from $66 million to $93 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By increasing flows for upstream and downstream migration, the plan would improve the ability of salmon populations to spawn and migrate within the Columbia River system. As a result, populations could increase significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Drawdown of the reservoirs would have an adverse effect on resident fish populations. The lowered pool elevations and flow augmentation actions would result in lost hydroelectric generation and operating flexibility, which in turn would probably result in the necessity of purchasing some power from outside the region. The exposure of reservoir shorelines as a result of drawdowns would detract from their aesthetic quality. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).

Preparation date: February 25, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - OIL AND GAS LEASING ON THE UMATILLA AND MALHEUR NATIONAL FORESTS, WASHINGTON AND OREGON. AN - 36414173; 3923 AB - PURPOSE: The leasing of lands for oil and gas exploration within the Umatilla and Malheur national forests in Oregon and Washington is proposed. While exploration activity has previously taken place in the area, the forests have no known or probable oil and gas deposits. Four alternatives, including a No Action (Current Management) Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under all of the alternatives, two to four wells would be developed and access roads would be built across the area. Well sites and access clearings would undergo rehabilitation and reclamation as soon as the wells were abandoned. Under all three of the action alternatives, amendments to the forest plans would be required. The preferred alternative (Alternative III) differs from the No Action Alternative primarily in the administrative processes stipulated by them. Under the preferred alternative, approximately 2,533,594 acres would be leased under standard lease terms and 1,255,501 acres under supplemental stipulations, with 440,454 acres being legally excluded from leasing. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under all of the alternatives, some revenue for the U.S. Treasury and local communities would result. Under the preferred alternative, supplemental stipulations would be specifically designed to protect fragile ecosystems; visual, cultural, and paleontological resources; recreational activities; and wilderness areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The clearing of vegetation for wells and roads would adversely impact both ground cover vegetation and forested vegetation, including that on land suitable for timber production, and would produce short-term effects on water quality and soils. Production activities and roadways would impact air and visual quality, soils, vegetation, wildlife habitat, and range. Special protective stipulations under the preferred alternative would increase the cost of exploration and development, and severely restrict drilling opportunities.

Preparation date: February 18, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TENNIS STADIUM, ROCK CREEK PARK, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. AN - 36405261; 3939 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Rock Creek Park Tennis Center in Washington, District of Columbia, is proposed. The tennis center is located adjacent to the Carter Barron Amphitheater at 16th and Kennedy streets in the northwest quadrant of the District of Columbia. Rock Creek Park is a unit of the national park system. The tennis facility consists of a 7,500-seat stadium with a center court, ten outdoor hard-surface courts, 15 outdoor clay courts, and a snack bar and pro shop. Currently, two major professional tennis tournaments may be held at the stadium under the auspices of the Washington Tennis Foundation (WTF), a nonprofit, charitable organization. Some neighborhood groups have complained that the traffic congestion, noise, parking problems, and commercial activities associated with large-scale tournaments affect the quality of life, community character, and property values. Seven plan alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 2), one professional tennis tournament would be held each year at the tennis center. Amateur, league, and public court use would also continue. Previous agreements with the WTF, which permitted a second tournament and other unspecified sports events, would be superseded by a new agreement restricting the use of the center to one tournament per year. Commercial activities associated with the tournament would be restricted as specified in a 1992 interim agreement between the National Park Service and WTF, and in regulations promulgated July 7, 1992. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, a balance would be reached between the needs of local residents and the interests of the sports community. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The on-site parking lots have a capacity of 856 vehicles; full stadium attendance requires parking for over 3,500 vehicles. If parking were restricted to available spaces, the concentration of traffic in the study area would be quite high. If parking were on the fields of the park, impacts to water resources and recreation would be potentially significant because of runoff, field damage, and field restoration requirements.

AN - 36413083; 3927 AB - PURPOSE: The exploration for potential gold and silver deposits within the Tootsie Creek area of East Butte in the Sweet Grass Hills in Liberty County, Montana, is proposed. East Butte is one of the three main buttes that make up the Sweet Grass Hills in north-central Montana. The area contains unique assemblages of plant and animal life and attracts considerable interest because of its recreational opportunities, wildlife habitat, Native American traditions, mineral potential, and importance as a groundwater recharge area. The area was designated as an area of critical environmental concern in the West HiLine Resource Management Plan of 1992. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative, the project applicant, Manhattan Minerals Ltd., proposes to build an access road approximately 26,300 feet long for approximately 38 in-road drill sites as well as for exploration trenches. The access road would cross both federal and private lands and connect with existing access roads; an additional access road approximately 1,500 feet long would be built at the head of Breed Creek drainage. The roads' running width would be about 12 feet, and with the inclusion of side-cast, cut slope, topsoil stockpile, and slash pile there would be a maximum disturbance of about 35 feet. At selected locations every few hundred feet, where bedrock was not encountered in the road-building process, a trench would be excavated in the inside center of the road to expose bedrock. The maximum trench depth would be 20 feet, although most trench depths would not exceed 10 feet. The length of the trenches would depend on the extent of bedrock mineralization. Materials excavated from the trench would be placed on the adjacent road surface or in the side-cast. After the materials were analyzed, the trench would be backfilled and smoothed so that the road would be accessible. Individual drill holes would be approximately 500 feet deep. Approximately 57,000 gallons of water, which could be obtained from Tootsie Creek, could be needed as a circulating medium for drilling if the drill holes did not encounter enough water to circulate the cuttings. Depending on weather conditions, construction and mining activities would begin in mid- to late June and last approximately two years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The scope of the preferred alternative is limited to exploration activities only. Nonetheless, these activities would have a slight positive effect on the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed project, approximately 23 acres of land would be disturbed. One site in the project area, Devil's Chimney Cave, is of special significance to Native Americans. Although the cave would not be directly affected by any of the proposed activities, drilling and trenching on the ridge above the cave could accelerate its natural deterioration, and improved access from the newly built roads could make the site a target for vandalism.

Preparation date: February 4, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HARPERS FERRY BRIDGE REPLACEMENT, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA. AN - 36407392; 3954 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the bridge on US 340 crossing the Shenandoah River at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, is proposed. US 340 is a primary route that carries high volumes of traffic between Charles Town, West Virginia, and Frederick, Maryland. The highway is a four-lane facility throughout most of its length, but three miles of the route in the vicinity of the Harpers Ferry National Park has a two-lane capacity in order to preserve the historic character of the site. The existing bridge, built in 1949, is structurally deficient and functionally obsolete; if only routine maintenance was performed on the bridge, its useful life would only be several years. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under Scheme 1, a new bridge would be built approximately 110 feet upstream from the existing bridge. Under Scheme 2, a new bridge would be built approximately 120 feet downstream from the existing bridge. Under this scheme, approximately 450 feet of Shenandoah Street would be relocated to properly connect with the proposed US 340 approach improvements. Under both Schemes 1 and 2, the existing bridge would be used for maintenance traffic during construction and be removed once construction was complete. Scheme 2a is identical to Scheme 2 except that it does not involve improvements to Shenandoah Street. Under Scheme 3, the existing bridge would be rehabilitated by replacing the concrete deck and sidewalk, adding stringers and girder spans, modifying cross frames, replacing bearings, and repairing piers and abutments. Traffic would be maintained during construction by closing one lane and allowing traffic to flow in the other lane. The estimated total cost of the project ranges from about $7.7 million to $9.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Replacement of or improvements to the existing bridge would increase safety for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic; bicycle traffic would benefit from expanded shoulders and sidewalks. Under schemes 1, 2, and 2a, the sight distance on the bridge approaches would improve. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: All environmental consequences would be temporary and last only for the duration of construction with the exception of adverse visual impacts resulting from any required cuts.

Preparation date: February 4, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LOWER DESCHUTES RIVER MANAGEMENT PLAN, OREGON. AN - 36409550; 3963 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a comprehensive plan to guide the management of the land and water resources along the lower 100 miles of the Deschutes River Canyon in Oregon is proposed. In 1970, this section of the river, which extends from the Pelton Reregulating Dam to the river's confluence with the Columbia River, was designated as a component of the Oregon State Scenic Waterway System. In 1988, it became part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, with a recreational classification. This section of the river has been divided into four segments based on geographical features, public road access, and recreational use patterns. The 11 federal, state, tribal, and local management agencies involved in the management of the canyon have identified 14 major issues in the planning process. These issues fall into three categories, namely, protection and enhancement of natural and cultural resources; recreational activities; and public safety and services. Specific issues include those associated with fisheries and water quality and quantity, wildlife habitat and vegetation, historical and archaeological resources, motorized and nonmotorized boating, fishing, camping, guided and outfitted services, recreational access, recreational user fees, emergency services, law enforcement, trespassing, and information and education. Five alternatives are considered in this final EIS. The overall management goal under the preferred alternative is to protect and enhance the river's intrinsic values while allowing for the continuation of compatible existing uses, including a wide range of public outdoor recreation opportunities, and minimizing user conflicts. The recreation opportunities would be provided in a manner that does not impair the natural beauty of the canyon or diminish its aesthetic, fish and wildlife, scientific, and recreational values. Throughout Segment 1 (which extends from the Pelton Reregulating Dam to the Deschutes Club locked gate), the river would be managed to maintain or enhance the high-quality trout fishery. Management would primarily provide for day-use, nonmotorized boating opportunities at a relatively moderate use level. Throughout Segment 2 (which extends from the Deschutes Club locked gate to Sherars Falls), the river would be managed to provide for relatively high levels of nonmotorized whitewater boating day use, as well as trout and steelhead fishing. Throughout Segment 3 (which extends from Sherars Falls to Macks Canyon), the river would be managed primarily to provide for moderate levels of dispersed use by boaters, anglers, and overnight campers with vehicles. Segment 4 (which extends from Macks Canyon to the river's mouth) would be managed primarily to provide opportunities for fishing, with access for motorized and nonmotorized boats; it would also provide opportunities for hiking, plus mountain bike and horseback riding. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the plan, natural resource conditions within the canyon would improve significantly, and water quality would improve to some degree. Long-range improvements would be expected in vegetative conditions and wildlife habitat, including habitat for threatened and endangered species. Cultural and scenic values would be enhanced, as would recreational use levels, access, and the quality of recreational experiences. Canyon-related economics, as well as law enforcement, emergency services responsiveness, and fire management, would improve. Protection of private land and property rights would also be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Road, trail, and recreational facility construction would result in the displacement and compaction of soils and the short-term degradation of visual quality in recreational and scenic areas. Areas suitable for undeveloped recreation could become unsuitable for this type of use if they were allocated to other land uses.

Preparation date: January 28, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GEORGE WASHINGTON NATIONAL FOREST LAND AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, VIRGINIA AND WEST VIRGINIA. AN - 36414631; 3944 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the land and resource management plan for the George Washington National Forest in Virginia and West Virginia is proposed. The forest includes the Blue Ridge, Shenandoah, Massanutten, and Alleghany ranges of the Appalachian Mountain system. It lies within the James and Potomac river basins and within the Blue Ridge and the Ridge and Valley physiographic provinces. Elevations generally range from 1,000 to 3,000 feet; however, some mountaintop elevations are over 4,000 feet. Focal issues include the effects on biological diversity, timber sale economics, forest access, all-terrain-vehicle (ATV) use, roadless area management, special recreation management areas, aesthetics, vegetation manipulations, resource sustainability, mineral resource development, gypsy moth infestations; the adequacy of the plan revision; and the mix of goods and services provided by the multiple-use plan. A total of 14 management alternatives are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 8A), the plan would emphasize biological values such as habitat for threatened, endangered, and sensitive species, and wildlife viewing and nature studies, in combination with multiple-use management. The plan would establish multiple-use goals, objectives, and desired future conditions for the forest; establish forest standards applicable to future activities; establish management areas and the associated direction to guide future management activities in particular areas; designate land suitable for timber production; establish the allowable sale quantity for timber; allocate nonwilderness management direction or recommend wilderness study for 24 roadless areas; establish a monitoring and evaluation process; and designate 75,000 acres in the Alleghany front lease area as being available for oil and gas leasing. Special habitat would be provided for unique natural communities of exemplary plant and animal species, including the home range of the Cow Knob salamander. Unfragmented habitat would be provided for area-sensitive species; old-growth, late successional habitat for black bears and wild turkeys; and early successional habitat for ruffed grouse and related species. Amenities would be added to all highly developed recreation areas. Dispersed recreation emphasis would be on quality hiking, hunting, fishing, mountain biking, and nature study. Three roadless areas containing 12,000 acres would be recommended for wilderness study, while other roadless areas would be managed as remote highlands to provide for primitive recreation opportunities and to maintain habitat for species favoring remote areas. Four ATV trail complexes would be designated, providing 160 miles of road suitable for ATV use. The average annual timber sale quantity would be 330 million board feet, with 350,000 acres being designated as suitable for timber production. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Revision of the forest management plan as proposed would provide for the continued production of forest products while affording protection to the natural aspects of the forest. A sustained yield of forest products would be assured for future generations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Timber harvests, road construction, and other exploitative uses would destroy vegetation and disturb soils, resulting in sedimentation of receiving flows. Wildlife habitat in disturbed areas would be degraded, and visual and recreational quality in these areas would decline. Prescribed burning would degrade air quality temporarily in localized areas.

AN - 36411260; 3945 AB - PURPOSE: The harvesting of Pacific yew (Taxus brevifolia) trees and shrubs on federal lands is proposed. The harvest program is prompted by the need for taxol, a compound found in yew trees and shrubs which is an effective treatment for some forms of cancer. The harvest program would last five years (1993-97) and would be conducted on lands administered by the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management in northern California, Idaho, western Montana, Oregon, and Washington. Focal issues concerning this harvest include taxol yield; the protection of the Pacific yew, its genetic diversity, and its ecosystem; the establishment of sustainable collection levels and specific areas for collection; and socioeconomic effects. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative G1), actions would emphasize moderate-to-high bark production and efficiency of bark collection, with moderate protection of yews and the ecosystem in yew harvest areas. Between 3.39 million and 5.09 million yew trees or shrubs from 1.47 million to 2.2 million acres would be harvested during the program period, yielding 15.75 million to 26.63 million pounds of dry bark. Harvesting would be conducted on existing timber sale units (from which 100 percent of the utilizable yews would be taken) and partial-cut sale units and nonsale areas (from which 50 percent of the available yews would be taken); no harvesting would be conducted in northern spotted owl conservation areas. Genetic reserve areas would be established in yew harvest areas. Yews would be regenerated to preharvest or prescribed levels in timber sale units. In partial-cut and nonsale areas, at least 50 percent of the yews in each diameter class would be retained; additional regeneration would not be required in these areas. Federal expenditures for the project could total $2.9 million dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, 210 to 315 kilograms of taxol would be available for use by 100,800 to 151,200 ovarian and other cancer patients in clinical trials. Some 909 to 1,363 seasonal bark harvest jobs would be provided. Returns to the federal government could total $900,000 to $1.4 million; to county governments, $200,000 to $400,000. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Moderate adverse impacts would include effects on yew population connectivity, seed production, heterozygosity of the next yew generation, ecosystem structure and function, wildlife in late successional forests, and threatened and endangered species. In addition, stumpage values for other tree species on harvest lands could decrease. LEGAL MANDATES: Pacific Yew Act of 1992.

AN - 36407659; 3926 AB - PURPOSE: The continuation of the Department of Agriculture's ongoing Animal Damage Control (ADC) program is proposed. As a wildlife damage management program, ADC incorporates the concepts and practices of modern wildlife management and provides leadership in the science and practice of wildlife damage control in order to protect America's agriculture, facilities and structures, and natural resources and to safeguard public health and safety. ADC activities are conducted in cooperation with other federal, state, and local agencies, as well as private organizations and individuals. The ADC program uses an integrated pest management (IPM) approach that integrates and applies all practical methods of prevention and control to reduce wildlife damage. These methods include resource management, physical exclusion, and wildlife management, or a combination of these approaches. In the selection of control methods and development of application strategies, consideration is given to the responsible species and the magnitude, geographic extent, duration and frequency, and likelihood of damage. In addition, consideration is given to nontarget species, local environmental conditions and impacts, social and legal aspects, and relative costs of control options. In applying the IPM approach to wildlife damage control, the ADC program offers technical assistance, direct control, or both, in response to requests for help with wildlife damage problems. Technical assistance consists of advice, recommendations, information, or materials provided for use in managing wildlife damage problems. Direct control consists of the identification of the source of a problem, and the implementation of practical control actions, by ADC personnel. The ADC program also conducts research to improve wildlife damage control methods and techniques. The development and dissemination of scientific information, improvement of control methods, and maintenance of pesticide registrations are handled by the Denver Wildlife Research Center in Colorado. The estimated annual cost of the program is approximately $25 million; however, this estimate does not include costs incurred by producers and consumers due to implementation of specific projects or other cooperative programs. Eleven alternatives are considered in this programmatic EIS; three alternatives (the No Action Alternative, the Current Program Alternative, and a Compensation Program Alternative which would direct program efforts toward verification of and reimbursement for vertebrate wildlife damage) are analyzed in detail. The Current Program Alternative, which uses an IPM approach, is identified as the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Program continuation would provide continued protection against animal damage to field crops, fruits and nuts, commercial forests and forest products, grazing lands, aquaculture and mariculture resources, livestock, facilities and structures, and public health. The ADC program would continue to take into account the economic, sociocultural, biological, and physical environments of these resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Locally significant negative impacts could result for target and nontarget species when an individual ADC project uses lethal control methods. Cultural values of animal welfare groups and some environmentalists could be undermined by some individual ADC projects. Toxic chemicals would continue to be used for some pests, creating some potential for negative health effects. LEGAL MANDATES: Animal Damage Control Act of 1931, as amended (7 U.S.C. 426 et seq.).

Preparation date: January 14, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HIDDEN VALLEY RESOURCES RESIDUALS REPOSITORY, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT/ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT). AN - 36396731; 3959 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a specified hazardous waste repository and treatment facility in San Bernardino County, California, by Hidden Valley Resources (HVR), and the issuance of associated right-of-way grants by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and a Conditional Use Permit for building on HVR's own lands by the county, is proposed. The proposed facility would be located in an area referred to as Hidden Valley, which is in the Cady Mountains approximately 35 miles east of Barstow and 15 miles northeast of Newberry Springs. The facility would be used for the disposal and storage of dry, treated, and stabilized hazardous waste residuals and cleanup wastes. Access to the facility would be via a new access corridor, which would include both a paved, two-lane roadway connecting with the existing Hector interchange at Interstate 40 (I-40), for truck transport, and a railroad spur branching off of the existing Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe rail line that parallels I-40. The facility would be designated to accept up to 450,000 tons annually of residuals and cleanup wastes, which would be stored in specially designed impermeable subsurface containers. Approximately 1,300 acres are proposed for the underground containment structures, which would be built, filled, capped, and covered in phases over a 120-year period of operation at an annual progressive rate of ten acres per year. The proposed administration and containment areas would be located within a 5,260-acre area which is a mix of private and public lands. Areas of concern include possible rail and truck transport accidents; the safety of recreational users in the area; air quality impacts of an accidental hazardous release, and of construction and operational activity; runoff and flooding impacts on surface water and groundwater; earthquake damage; land use conflicts with adjacent BLM lands, including a wilderness study area; impacts to the desert tortoise, a threatened species, and the bighorn sheep, a sensitive species; and potential impacts to traffic, public services, and paleontological resources. Eight alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS; the No Action Alternative is the BLM's preferred alternative. Under the proposal, the containment structures would be built of concrete and/or steel, and lined with impermeable membranes, which would allow for possible future recovery and recycling of the residuals as future treatment technologies became available and economically feasible. After containment areas were closed and the surface areas revegetated, a long-term postclosure monitoring program would be maintained. The postclosure monitoring program would be required under the operating permit for the facility, and would likely require monitoring for a period of not less than 30 years after a unit was closed or until wastes ceased to pose a threat to groundwater, whichever was greater. POSITIVE IMPACTS: While the No Action Alternative would avoid any direct adverse environmental impacts associated with the proposed facility, the indirect adverse environmental impacts arising from the absence of the project, principally insufficient capacity for the safe disposal of hazardous waste residuals, would be serious. Without an approved facility in southern California, there could be an increased likelihood of illegal dumping of hazardous waste, the increased potential for interstate transporting of waste, and associated public safety risks. Under the No Action Alternative, San Bernardino County would be deprived of the economic benefit of the project. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would not be in conformance with the San Bernardino County General Plan, which is closely linked to the BLM plan. The proposed siting of access routes would be within BLM Multiple Use Class L (limited) lands and within public lands under consideration for wilderness determination. Significant sensitive, natural, scenic, and other resources of the involved Class L lands would be diminished by the creation of new access to the proposed facility. The loss of 1,700 acres of desert scrub would significantly impact bighorn sheep corridors.

Preparation date: January 11, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RIVER MAINTENANCE PROGRAM FOR THE RIO GRANDE--VELARDE TO CABALLO DAM, RIO GRANDE AND MIDDLE RIO GRANDE PROJECTS, NEW MEXICO (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MARCH 1977). AN - 36409618; 3975 AB - PURPOSE: The operation and maintenance activities along the floodway of the Rio Grande from Velarde, New Mexico, to areas within the conservation pool elevations of Elephant Butte Reservoir and Caballo Dam are proposed. Velarde is located 85 miles northeast of Albuquerque in north-central New Mexico, and Caballo Dam is located approximately 20 miles south of the town of Truth or Consequences in the south-central part of the state. The project area is 286 river miles long, and is confined by parallel levees, levee and river bluffs, or bluffs at various restrictions. This draft supplement to the final EIS of March 1977 examines a mix of river maintenance techniques that would have a more positive effect than past practices had on the river's geomorphology and environment. Past practices consisted primarily of floodway vegetative clearing, pilot channeling, and construction of jetty fields; channel maintenance relied heavily on the removal of islands and bars. The proposed action in this draft supplement is to implement the following maintenance techniques selectively throughout ten reaches of the river: (1) bank stabilization measures, including the use of revetments, curve reshapings, and plantings to stabilize riverbanks; (2) river training works for influencing flow alignment and controlling and managing overbank flows; (3) sediment removal to maintain flow capacity; (4) vegetation control to increase the floodway's capacity to pass high flows; (5) snag removal to prevent the obstruction and/or deflection of river flows; and (6) levee maintenance. Two other alternatives are also considered in this draft supplement, a No Action Alternative and a No Additional Federal Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the proposed maintenance techniques would help New Mexico meet its water obligation to Texas under the Rio Grande Compact without curtailing its own water use; would conserve both surface water and groundwater in the Rio Grande basin; would reduce the rate of aggradation in the Rio Grande floodway; and would provide effective floodway maintenance. Bank stabilization, river training works, and sediment removal would each save farmland, bosques, and existing residential and commercial development. Sediment removal would also prevent overbank flooding. The containment of the Rio Grande within the floodway through levee maintenance would negate the loss of property and/or life. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Bank stabilization measures would disturb riverbank vegetation initially, although these measures would provide long-term benefits by controlling riverbank erosion. The construction of groins and dikes for river training works would smother sessile aquatic organisms, while pilot channeling and follow-up maintenance would prevent the long-term establishment of aquatic communities. The program could adversely affect three endangered species: the bald eagle, the whooping crane, and the peregrine falcon.

Teaching with Historic Places. AN - 62779721; ED365599 AB - This unit focuses on Thomas Jefferson's route from his home at Monticello in Virginia to the White House when he traveled to Washington in November of 1800 for the upcoming presidential election. The document traces his journey by phaeton, a four wheeled light carriage, from Monticello to: (1) James Madison's home at Montpelier, a distance of 28 miles, on November 24, 1800; (2) Fleetwood on November 25th, a distance of 31 miles; (3) Browns Tavern at what is now Manassas, Virginia, on November 26th, a distance of 33.5 miles; and (4) through Falls Church to Washington on November 27th, a distance of 34 miles. The unit is illustrated with sketches of a phaeton, a small flat bed skiff that was often used as a ferry, Monticello, Zimmerman's tavern, New Gate Tavern, a dependency or small outbuilding at Jefferson's friend's home known as Fleetwood, Montpelier, the White House, and a portrait of Jefferson. Two maps show the topology of the area and Jefferson's route. The text of the document describes Jefferson's journey as can be pieced together from searching his letters, public records, and what buildings and roads are still in existence today. Thirteen different class assignments are given for different areas of the lesson. Issues highlighted are: changes in means of travel, the neoclassical and vernacular architecture of the time, and Jefferson's character traits that can be learned from evidence presented in the lesson. The lesson uses different kinds of historical inquiry. Students see how the use of many different sources can provide the evidence necessary to trace Jefferson's route.

Reclamation was asked to statistically evaluate the program by comparing target and control areas. Reclamation was asked to physically evaluate the program in terms of the reasonableness of seeding generator placement, overall output of effective IN (ice nuclei), general conduct of the program, and other factors. Neither the statistical nor the physical approach was expected to provide definitive answers concerning program effectiveness because of the limited duration of the seeding, the lack of randomization, and the lack of supporting physical measurements. Nevertheless, a 'first look' evaluation was judged useful for planning future precipitation management activities within the State. The State also requested that Reclamation make recommendations for improving the operational seeding program in the future.

N1 - Last updated - 2014-05-06 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Final Environmental Impact Statement for the construction and operation of a proposed stadium in Washington, D.C AN - 16683222; 3052266 AB - A new football stadium has been proposed for Washington, D.C., on federal property that is under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, this EIS has been prepared to analyze the potential environmental consequences of constructing and operating such a facility. This document includes an analysis of the potential impacts of three alternatives: (1) the Proposed Action, which involves construction of a new 78,600-seat stadium north of RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C.; (2) an alternative action to expand and renovate RFK Stadium to increase its seating capacity from 56,880 to 78,600 persons; and, (3) a No Action alternative. The document includes analyses of potential impacts each alternative may have on the local community, including land use, community character and facilities, economic and fiscal conditions, cultural, historic, and aesthetic resources, air quality, noise levels, public health, water quality, geology and soils, hazardous wastes, urban systems, and transportation, parking and traffic. Potential long-term adverse impacts would include the loss of open space and parkland within the proposed site area, visual impacts from sensitive viewpoints including some cultural resources, and traffic impacts caused by increased traffic during stadium events and changes to commuter routes to downtown D.C. Some short-term impacts would occur as a result of construction, including adverse effects on the local residential area adjacent to the proposed site area, potential impacts from disturbance of contaminated soil, elevated concentrations of particulate matter and noise levels during the construction period, and disruption of local traffic patterns, particularly those caused by the construction of C Street with the Proposed Action.

Pre-1993 measurements were incorporated on the map to provide control in areas where more recent data were not available. Because little ground-water development has occurred in the areas where pre-1993 water levels were used, levels are assumed to be the same in 1993 and 1994 as they were when the measurement was made.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-14 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Water-quality assessment of the Rio Grande Valley, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas - Shallow ground-water quality of a land-use area in the San Luis Valley, south-central Colorado, 1993 AN - 16215446; 4275220 AB - This report describes the quality of shallow ground water in an agricultural area in the San Luis Valley, Colorado, and discusses how natural and human factors affect the quality of shallow ground water. Thirty-five wells were installed, and water samples were collected from these wells and analyzed for selected dissolved common constituents, nutrients, trace elements, radionuclides, and synthetic organic compounds. The San Luis Valley is a high intermontane valley that is partially drained by the Rio Grande. The San Luis Valley land-use study area was limited to a part of the valley where the depth to water is generally less than 25 feet. The area where the 35 monitor wells were installed was further limited to the part of the study area where center-pivot overhead sprinklers are used to irrigate crops. Precipitation, runoff from adjacent mountainous areas, and ground water inflow from the adjacent mountainous areas are the main sources of water to the aquifers in the San Luis Valley. Discharge of water from the shallow, unconfined aquifer in the valley is mainly from evapotranspiration. The dominant land use in the San Luis Valley is agriculture, although nonirrigated land and residential land are interspersed with agricultural land. Alfalfa, native hay, barley, wheat, potatoes, and other vegetables are the main crops. Dissolved-solids concentrations in shallow ground water sampled ranged from 75 to 1,960 milligrams per liter. Calcium concentrations ranged from 7.5 to 300 milligrams per liter, and bicarbonate concentrations ranged from 28 to 451 milligrams per liter. Nitrite plus nitrate concentrations ranged from less than 0.1 to 58 milligrams per liter as N; water from 11 wells had nitrite plus nitrate concentrations greater than 10 milligrams per liter as N. With the exception of the following trace elements - aluminum, barium, iron, manganese, molybdenum, and uranium - the concentrations of trace elements were less than 10 micrograms per liter in 90 percent of the samples. All trace-element concentrations measured were below the maximum contaminant levels set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Five samples exceeded the proposed maximum contaminant level of 0.02 milligram per liter for uranium. All samples collected exceeded the proposed maximum contaminant level for radon-222. The volatile organic compound methyltertbutylether was detected in one sample at a concentration of 0.6 microgram per liter. Of the pesticides analyzed for, one or more were detected in water from 5 of the 35 wells sampled. Metribuzin was the most commonly detected pesticide and was detected in water from three wells at concentrations ranging from an estimated 0.005 to 0.017 microgram per liter. The elevated nitrite plus nitrate concentrations in shallow ground water are indicative of leaching of fertilizers from the land surface. This conclusion is consistent with conclusions made in other investigations of the San Luis Valley. On the basis of areal distribution and range of trace-element concentrations, human activities have not caused widespread trace-element contamination in the shallow ground water. The main factors affecting trace-element concentrations in shallow ground water are solubility equilibria, variation in the distribution of minerals in the aquifer, formation of organic complexes, formation of carbonate complexes, and the oxidation-reduction state of the ground water /aquifer. Gross alpha and gross beta activities measured in ground water are from naturally occurring elements (primarily uranium and potassium-40). Relatively few synthetic organic compounds were detected in shallow ground water, indicating that human activities have not resulted in widespread contamination of the shallow part of the aquifer by synthetic organic compounds.

AN - 36408213; 3865 AB - PURPOSE: A plan for the future management and use of the Great Basin National Park, located in White Pine County, Nevada, is proposed. The 200,000-square-mile Great Basin physiographic region consists of more than 90 wide valley basins separated by 160 long, parallel, north/south-trending mountain ranges. The 77,082-acre Great Basin National Park lies at the heart of this vast region in the Snake Range in east-central Nevada, approximately 300 miles north of Las Vegas and 250 miles southwest of Salt Lake City, Utah. The proposed plan, which would direct the management of the park over the next 15 years, would address management zoning, visitor use and development, natural resource management, cultural resource management, and land protection. The plan would focus on diversifying visitor opportunities by expanding interpretation of significant features in the park and in the Great Basin physiographic region, improving access to and within the park, providing a new visitor center, and offering new ways to view and appreciate the park's many resources. Most visitors would continue to concentrate in the Lehman Cave and Wheeler Park areas, and two subzones would be established in these areas to accommodate modern and semiprimitive day uses. The southern portion of the park would be opened to more backcountry use by including large areas in the semiprimitive subzone, and trails would be built that would allow visitors to hike the entire length of the park from north to south. Areas with special resource needs and concerns, in particular the alpine and subalpine areas above 10,500 feet, would be included in the protected natural area and research natural area subzones. The remainder of the park would be designated as a primitive subzone. Grazing of domestic livestock would continue under the enabling legislation except in the semiprimitive day-use area, protected natural area, and research natural area subzones. All 247 mining claims, if valid, would be recognized. Historic resources of particular interest in the plan would include the Lehman orchard, Lehman aqueduct, Rhodes cabin, Osceola ditch, and Johnson mill and mine. Land protection measures would focus on visual resources, trailheads, eastern and western boundary adjustments, and rights-of-way. Three alternatives, including a No Action/Minimum Requirements Alternative, are also considered in this final EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Opportunities to experience representative portions of the Great Basin would increase under the proposed action, and interpretation would be expanded. The park would be managed as an integral portion of the larger Great Basin ecosystem, and full consideration would be given to the potential effects of actions inside and beyond park boundaries. The plan would have generally beneficial effects on the park's biological and physical resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Current grazing permittees would be required to restrict livestock to certain locations to a greater extent than in the past. The visitor center on Baker Ridge would be visible from several vantage points. Increased visitation would require substantial increases in law enforcement and maintenance personnel, together with associated increases in costs. Some consumptive and high-impact recreational activities would be prohibited or more closely regulated than in the past. LEGAL MANDATES: Mining in the Parks Act of 1976 (P.L. 94-429) and Public Law 99-565. PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 910402D, Volume 15, Number 6.

Preparation date: December 30, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - OIL AND GAS AMENDMENT TO THE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN; BILLINGS, POWDER RIVER, AND SOUTH DAKOTA RESOURCE AREAS OF THE MILES CITY DISTRICT, MONTANA AND SOUTH DAKOTA. AN - 36413924; 3849 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an oil and gas resource management plan is proposed for approximately 1.7 million surface acres and 4.6 million subsurface acres of public domain and acquired lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). These lands are regionally administered by the Billings, Powder River, and South Dakota resource areas within the Miles City District of Montana and South Dakota. The Billings and Powder River resource areas are respectively located in the south-central and southeastern portions of Montana. The South Dakota Resource Area consists of the entire state of South Dakota. Altogether, the planning area encompasses approximately 70.5 million acres. Focal planning issues considered include conflicts between developing hydrocarbon resources and protecting other resource values; allowable impacts; areas open or closed to leasing; the method of determining reasonably foreseeable development for the planning area; the identification of mitigation measures; oil and gas in multiple-use management decisions; and hazardous materials. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative D), land would be identified as being for leasing or closed to leasing as follows: (1) 2.84 million acres would be open to leasing subject to lease terms only; (2) 2.16 million acres would be open to leasing subject to seasonal or other minor constraints; (3) 108,000 acres would be open to leasing subject to no-surface-occupancy and similar major constraints; and (4) 60,000 acres would be closed to leasing. Stipulations designed to protect different resources would overlap in some locations, so the total acreage of these categories could exceed the actual total acreage of BLM-administered lands in the planning area. Both nondiscretionary closures (areas closed by law or regulation) and discretionary closures (areas closed at the discretion of the responsible BLM official) would be included in the closed-area category. Closures would include wilderness study areas, the Fort Meade Recreation Area, the Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range, and the Meeteetse Spires, which has been recommended for designation as an area of critical environmental concern. Under the proposed management plan, 630 federally leased wells would be drilled during the next 15 years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would allow for further oil and gas resource development and for the protection of sensitive areas and other resources. Lease stipulations would provide sufficient protection for resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Well development would disturb 2,447 acres of federal land due to well pad and access road construction and the construction of production facilities. Well pad and access road construction, well drilling, and venting and flaring of nonrecoverable gas would degrade air quality. Well drilling and operating effects, potential pipeline construction, and road construction would impact hydrologic resources, soils, vegetation, and associated livestock grazing, wildlife habitat, cultural and paleontological resources, and recreation resources. Stipulations preventing the exploration and development of resources would eliminate access to three well sites, resulting in $513,000 in foregone earnings over the next 15 years; the foregone wells would have produced an estimated 91,000 barrels of oil and 21 million cubic feet of natural gas, which would have resulted in federal rents and royalties totaling $1.56 million. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (P.L. 94-377).

AN - 36409435; 3879 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of 19.7 miles of Trunk Highway (TH) 33 from its junction with Interstate 35 (I-35) to its junction with TH 53 in Carlton and Saint Louis counties, Minnesota, is proposed. In October 1985, a final EIS (FEIS) was approved for this corridor. This FEIS identified a preferred alternative for the northern rural section and a temporary No-Build Alternative for the southern urban section. This was done to allow more time to study the urban section. A draft supplement on the urban section was issued in 1987 to comply with the FEIS's statement that a supplement would be prepared for this section. This final supplement to the FEIS identifies the preferred build alternative for the urban section and addresses noise mitigation alternatives to the preferred alternative. The urban section would run 6.5 miles, from I-35 to Morris-Thomas Road (County Road 56). Besides the No-Build Alternative, three major alternatives are considered in this final supplement: the West Cloquet Bypass (a bypass west of Cloquet); the East Cloquet Bypass (a bypass east of Cloquet); and the Through-Town Alternative (a route along the existing TH 33), which is the preferred alternative. The Through-Town Alternative would consist of a four-lane expressway with interchanges at TH 53, TH 2, and I-35. A one-mile section of TH 2 would be reconstructed and expanded to four lanes through the interchange with TH 33. The preferred alternative was analyzed by placing approximate alignments within corridors. The corridors were approximately 500 feet wide, except where potential constraints were found. In these areas, the corridor was expanded to a maximum width of 2,000 feet. The Through-Town Alternative would coincide with the existing TH 33 from the junction with I-35 to Morris Thomas Road. It would include bridges over the main channel and a side channel of the Saint Louis River just north of TH 45. While the southern terminus of this project is I-35, the existing TH 33 already consists of a four-lane expressway between I-35 and TH 45. Therefore, no improvements would be proposed for the project south of TH 45. North of TH 45, the existing roadbed would be reconstructed and expanded to a four-lane roadway with a continuous center left-turn lane beginning north of the St. Louis River bridge and extending to just beyond North Avenue. From there the road would change to a four-lane divided expressway. Right-of-way limits would be approximately 100 feet for the reconstructed urban roadway and 200 feet for the divided expressway. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $9.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide four-lane continuity between the Twin Cities metropolitan area and the Iron Range cities, and would improve accessibility to tourism areas in northern Minnesota. Highway accidents would decrease, primarily along the portion of TH 33 between I-35 and TH 2, and traffic flow through Cloquet would improve. The project would also stimulate business expansion and long-term economic growth in the area. Deficient bridge structures would be replaced or improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would displace 23 residences, five of which have already been relocated and four of which are in the process of being relocated. Approximately 24 acres of wetlands would be impacted as would some waterways, including the Saint Louis River near the city of Cloquet. The project would also negatively impact community cohesion in the city of Cloquet.

AN - 36404605; 3854 AB - PURPOSE: Authorization for the Cortez Gold Mines company (Cortez) to continue operating and to expand its existing gold mining and processing operations at the Cortez Gold Mine, located in Crescent Valley in Lander County, Nevada, is proposed. The proposed expansion activities would occur in two areas located about six miles apart on opposite sides of Crescent Valley. Feasible alternatives for facility locations are limited because existing processing facilities and open pits are in place, so the range of alternatives considered consists primarily of operational alternatives and alternative components of the project rather than location alternatives for the entire project. A No Action Alternative and three operational alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. In the evaluation of alternatives, the following factors are considered: public or agency issues/concerns, technical and economic feasibility, potential environmental advantage, and the ability to meet the purpose and need stated by the applicant. The preferred alternative includes expanding an existing open-pit mine and waste rock dumps; constructing new heap leach facilities, tailings disposal facilities, and waste rock dumps; and continuing exploration drilling. Mining activities are proposed on both patented and unpatented lands in Lander County, and exploration activities are proposed in Lander and Eureka counties. Surface disturbance would result primarily from the expansion of the existing pit (1 acre), and the expansion and construction of the waste rock dumps (196 acres), heap leach pads (54 acres), and tailings impoundments (81 acres). An additional tailings impoundment is proposed to provide storage capacity of about 2,700 acre-feet. A total of approximately 428 acres would be affected by the preferred alternative. The reserves to be mined include both mill-grade and heap leach-grade ore. Portions of the ore would be hauled to the existing Cortez mill for processing, and portions would be processed at the proposed heap leach facilities. Overburden from the pit areas would be hauled to waste rock dumps near each pit. Exploration activities would generally consist of limited road building and exploration drilling. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide sufficient ore to allow for the continued operation of the existing milling facilities currently operated by Cortez, and would allow Cortez to continue to employ the existing work force and to optimize use of the company's existing equipment and mineral processing facilities. Without the proposed project, Cortez's mining and mineral processing operations would cease sometime during the period 1994-96. Under the preferred alternative, additional revenues for Lander County would be generated because of an increase in assessed valuation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would continue point source emissions associated with ore processing and would result in fugitive dust emissions from open-pit expansion, operation of haul roads, and exploration. Approximately 428 acres of soil disturbance would result from the expansion of facilities and reclamation; disturbed areas would include growth-medium stockpiles and roads. A shortfall of topsoil necessary for reclamation would occur. Accidental releases of hazardous materials into surface water or groundwater could occur. Chronic toxicity in tailings ponds could be significant at the Cortez tailings facility or could be cumulatively significant due to multiple exposures from other projects in the region. The continued presence of mining in the vicinity of Mount Tenabo would be considered an indirect impact to Native American tradition and/or religious values associated with Mount Tenabo.

Preparation date: December 18, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CHEVRON TABLE TOP PROSPECT EXPLORATORY OIL WELL, WASATCH-CACHE NATIONAL FOREST, SUMMIT COUNTY, UTAH. AN - 36396435; 3850 AB - PURPOSE: Authorization for Chevron U.S.A. Production Company to exercise lease rights and drill an exploratory oil and gas well in the Evanston Ranger District of the Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Summit County, Utah, is proposed. The proposed well would be located within the main fork of the Stillwater drainage and would be drilled to determine if oil and gas reserves occur in geological formations underlying the area, and, if so, whether they are economically recoverable. A No Action Alternative, two well-siting alternatives, and three road management alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative, the exploratory well would be drilled on a 3.43-acre well pad. Some 0.8 miles of Stillwater Road would be restored, 2.1 miles of Peninsula Road would be improved, 2.0 miles of Main Fork Road would be relocated, and 0.8 miles of new road at the proposed well site would be built. To reduce erosion, 5.7 miles of road into the well site, plus the well pad, would be graveled. A 0.5-acre gravel source pit, which would be located at the end of Peninsula Road, would provide between 5,000 and 7,000 cubic yards of material for surfacing the road and well pad. The preferred alternative would also include drilling a temporary water well on the well pad to provide water for drilling and dust control, and possibly constructing a temporary three-inch-diameter, 1,500-foot-long above-ground water pipeline to the location. If approved, the activities associated with the proposed action would begin in July or August of 1993 and would be completed by early 1994. Reclamation would begin upon completion of activities, depending on weather conditions. Issues of concern include impacts on the local and state economies, the roadless area, wildlife species and habitat, the recreational usage of the area, future road management, the water quality in the Stillwater drainage, the aesthetic and visual characteristics of the area, and the water supply to the Christmas Meadows summer-home area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would be consistent with the federal policy of encouraging exploration and development of federal minerals by private companies, including the development of domestic oil reserves, in an effort to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign energy sources. A 15-person crew would be employed for the drilling operations; additional contractual help would be engaged for earthwork associated with road construction, site development, restoration, and drayage; and additional requirements would draw upon local contractors and vendors. As a result, the project would contribute to the local economy by providing additional wages, which would be used to obtain goods and services. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The well pad and new road would be built within the roadless area. Road construction would result in the removal of vegetation, including approximately 12 to 14 acres of mature-age-class lodgepole pine. The new road would come relatively close to some wetland seeps, which would adversely affect some wetland areas in the vicinity. Construction activities could also result in some erosion. In addition, the drilling rig would be temporarily visible from travel points up to 3.5 miles away.

AN - 36410508; 3868 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for the Green River Resource Area in south-central and southwestern Wyoming is proposed. The area contains 3.5 million acres of land in which the surface and minerals are federally owned and 81,000 additional acres in which only the minerals are federally owned (split estate). Focal issues identified during the scoping process and addressed in this draft EIS include the protection of vegetation, soils, and watershed values; the suitability of areas for special-management designations; and opportunities for improving accessibility for mining, recreation, cultural-resource activities, and other uses. Under the preferred alternative (a combination of Alternatives A, B, and C), approximately 331,020 acres of public land would be unavailable for oil and gas leasing; seasonal restrictions would be placed on up to 1.84 million acres of certain big game winter ranges; and 463,000 acres would be open for further consideration for coal leasing and development. Approximately 517.9 billion cubic feet of gas, 13.8 million barrels of oil, and 325 million tons of coal would be produced from available lands. Development of trona and other mineral resources would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis; it is estimated that about 115 million tons of trona would be produced. Areas for off-road-vehicle (ORV) use would be set aside and provided on a permit basis; 172,000 acres would remain closed to ORV use. Approximately 67,700 acres would be set aside to enhance vegetative diversity and wildlife habitat. Herds of wild horses would be maintained in five management areas. Four areas of critical environmental concern (ACEC) would be set aside to protect sensitive plants, and additional ACECs would be maintained. Livestock grazing would be permitted and is anticipated to average about 180,000 animal unit months (AUMs). Approximately 7,943 acres would be set aside for timber harvesting, which could average 500,000 board feet per year. Rock art sites, historic trails, and other cultural resources would be managed to maintain their intrinsic values. Some 13,000 acres of public lands would be eligible for disposal. In addition to the preferred alternative, three other alternatives are also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed plan would provide a balance of recreational and economic uses of public lands. Recreation user days would increase by 60 percent over 20 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Because all forested land would be placed in a restricted management category, there would be a 55 percent reduction in timber output. Livestock grazing, mining, and other economic ventures would also be adversely affected by the closure of certain areas. Oil/gas and coal development activities would disturb nearly 20,000 acres after reclamation. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

Preparation date: November 27, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RAIL-CYCLE BOLO STATION LANDFILL, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36411597; 3895 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a Class III nonhazardous solid waste landfill at the Bolo Station site in San Bernardino County, California, is proposed. The proposed site consists of 4,800 acres located near Bristol Dry Lake in the eastern Mojave Desert, between Cadiz and Amboy along the rail line of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway Company (ATSF). The proposed facility would be operated by Rail-Cycle, a limited partnership between ATSF and Waste Management of North America, Inc.; the facility would be designed to accommodate up to 21,000 tons of waste per day. Initial operation would begin with 3,000 tons of waste per day and would increase to 21,000 tons per day within five to seven years. Waste would be transported in sealed 40- to 45-foot containers by rail from various areas of southern California to an on-site container off-loading facility. The containers would then be transported a short distance and emptied. Land at the proposed site is currently owned by ATSF and the federal government, and is administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action would involve an exchange of public land for sections of land owned by ATSF outside the project area. The Cadiz Valley Alternative would locate the proposed facility at a 3,200-acre site approximately ten miles southeast of the Bolo Station site at the southern toe of the Ship Mountains. Facility operations at this site would be substantially similar to operations at the Bolo Station site. The Reduced Action Alternative would involve reducing the scale of operations at the new facility, primarily by limiting operating capacity to 12,000 tons of waste per day. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed landfill would help meet the solid waste disposal needs of many cities and counties in southern California. The rural setting would minimize concerns related to land use compatibility. The landfill operation would generate 267 direct jobs and 167 indirect jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Bolo Station site is located seven miles west of an area of potential volcanic activity. Some potential would exist for surface water contamination from the discharge of storm water contaminated on-site; furthermore, groundwater could be contaminated from leachate migrating through a leak in the liner sealing the storm water collection basin or from landfill gas migrating through the liner. The extraction of 75 acre-feet of water per year for on-site purposes would adversely impact the aquifer if it were overdrafted. The project would result in the loss of 2,700 acres of vegetation and wildlife habitat, which would threaten the desert tortoise and kit fox. Air quality would be degraded as a result of various emission sources associated with the landfill, including fugitive landfill gases, landfill flare, locomotives at the site, and heavy-duty construction equipment. The area is currently classified as a nonattainment area for certain pollutants; any additional pollution would cause a significant unavoidable adverse impact. The landfill and its associated operations would substantially change the visual character of the site in a way that is not compatible with the open-space element of the County General Plan. Small quantities of diesel fuel, waste oil, and other hazardous substances would be deposited in the landfill.

AN - 36410611; 3880 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a freeway, including a bridge crossing the Missouri River, within Saint Charles and Saint Louis counties, Missouri, is proposed. Under the proposed action, Page Avenue (Route D) would extend from its present terminus at Bennington Place, immediately west of Interstate 270 (I-270) in St. Louis County; proceed across the Missouri River to Route 94 in St. Charles County; and then continue on to either I-70 or Route 40/61 (the future I-64), a distance of 14.4 to 20.95 miles. Five alternatives, including the No-Build Alternative and two build alternatives, each with three subalternatives, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative, the Red Alignment, would be a ten-lane, limited-access highway with a 26-foot-wide median from Bennington Place to Route 94. As part of the Red Alignment, from Hamsath Road to Route N, Route 94 would become an eight- to ten-lane, limited-access highway with a 26-foot-wide median. One-way outer roads would be provided as service roads along this segment. From Route 94 to Route 40/61, the Red Alignment would be a four-lane, limited-access highway with a 70-foot-wide median. Grade separations for Bennington Place would be constructed over the Page Avenue Extension and the west half of a diamond interchange. Grade separations would also be provided at Amiot Drive and Seven Pines Drive, the River Valley Road, Route 94, Motherhead Road, and Henke Road. A bridge approximately 2,800 feet long would span Creve Coeur Lake, Creve Coeur Creek, and associated wooded bottomland. The alignment would also cross portions of the Creve Coeur Lake Memorial Park. The bridge over the Missouri River would extend 3,550 feet and consist of ten 12-foot travel lanes, four ten-foot shoulders, and a three-foot-wide median barrier. Total project costs are estimated to be $320 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The chronic traffic congestion at the Missouri River crossings between Saint Charles and Saint counties would be relieved, and concurrent reductions in energy costs and improvement of air quality would be effected. Additional benefits would be improved traffic flow conditions within Saint Charles and Saint Louis counties on secondary roads and on routes 40/61, I-70, and I-270. Development would continue to occur throughout Saint Charles County; on the proposed alignments induced development would take place at interchanges and along outer roads. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements under the preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 190.3 acres of prime farmland; the relocation of 54 residences and 17 commercial establishments; the traversal of 397.9 acres of the Missouri River floodplain, and the associated loss of 52.9 acres of emergent and wooded wetlands; and the removal of public parkland. Land-use impacts would total 1,926.1 acres.

The areas contain 2.8 million surface acres and 3.4 million acres of federal mineral estate within the Lewistown District of north-central Montana in Fergus, Petroleum, Judith Basin, Phillips, and Valley counties and the southern half of Chouteau County. Focal issues identified during the scoping process and addressed in this final EIS include land acquisition and disposal, access to federal lands, off-road-vehicle (ORV) use, oil and gas leasing and development, hard-rock mining, riparian and wetland management within watersheds, elk and bighorn sheep habitat management, prairie dog and black-footed ferret management, and areas of special management concern, such as rivers possibly eligible for inclusion in the National System of Wild and Scenic Rivers; scenic areas; and areas containing rare resources such as endangered species. The preferred alternative (Alternative E) would involve the following: the acquisition of private, state, and other lands through exchange or purchase, and the disposal of up to 161,968 acres; the provision of new access to 71,793 acres and additional access to 1.1 million acres; the designation of 1.99 million acres for ORV cross-country travel and 813,769 acres for limited ORV use, plus the closure of 1,947 acres to ORV use within areas of critical environmental concern (ACEC); the opening of 1.47 million acres to standard-term oil and gas leasing, 1.76 million acres to leasing with stipulations, and 34,818 acres to leasing with no-surface-occupancy restrictions, plus the closure of 117,962 acres to leasing; the withdrawal of 4,647 acres from hard-rock mineral entry; the improvement of riparian-wetland areas in 348 allotments with 595 stream miles and 5,850 water sources; the provision of 593,980 acres of elk habitat for expansion in the Missouri Breaks, Square Butte, and Highwood, Little Belt, Judith, and Snowy mountain areas; the maintenance and expansion of bighorn sheep habitat on 156,930 acres; the provision of 12,346 acres of prairie dog towns in the Phillips Resource Area for black-footed ferret reintroduction, associate species habitat, recreational viewing, and prairie dog shooting; the maintenance of existing prairie dog towns on 800 acres in the Valley Resource Area and 71 acres in the Judith Resource Area; the designation of 3,702 acres within the Judith and South Moccasin mountains as an ACEC to protect the area's scenic qualities; the designation of the 817-acre War Horse area and the 1,646-acre Briggs Coulee area, which lie within an acid shale-pine forest ecosystem, as ACECs; the designation of 1,947 acres in the Square Butte Outstanding Natural Area as an ACEC to protect its cultural, scenic, and geological features, which are unique to Montana; the designation of 140 acres in the Azure Cave area as an ACEC to protect this geological site and its associated bat hibernaculum, which is the northernmost site for this type of bat habitat in the United States; and the designation of 2,120 acres within the Henry Smith and Beaucoup sites as an ACEC to protect their unusual and unique archaeological resources, which represent bison hunting on and prehistoric ceremonial use of the northwestern plains. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The process of obtaining access to leased land would be simplified. Most lands with high and moderate oil and gas development potential would be available for exploration and development under standard lease terms. Large tracts of scenic areas would be preserved and protected, and habitat would be protected and/or provided for a variety of wildlife and fish. Land disposal would allow for the conversion of federal land to farmland and other economically productive land categories. Forestland would increase significantly due to land acquisition and disposal. Water quality would be improved by increasing stream bank vegetation and reducing erosion on 238 miles of stream. Significant visual, cultural, recreational, and geological resources would be protected or enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The extent to which surface ownership is split from mineral estate would be increased significantly. Restriction of ORV use would complicate geophysical exploration activity. Access to land for oil and gas exploitation would be limited in some areas. Mining, oil and gas development, and other exploitative land uses would result in impacts to vegetation and associated wildlife habitat, streams and associated fishery habitat, soils, and air and water quality within the resource areas. Livestock forage would be reduced, and costs of grazing livestock would increase. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

AN - 36409150; 3867 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Fort Laramie National Historic Site in Goshen County, Wyoming, is proposed. The 832.85-acre site is located 18 miles northwest of the town of Torrington on the floodplains of the North Platte and Laramie rivers, below the surrounding high plains. The site played a pivotal role in America's westward expansion from 1834 to 1890, serving as a fur trading post and as a military fort instrumental during the Indian Wars. Historic trails and routes that passed through Fort Laramie include the Oregon Trail, the California Trail, the Mormon Pioneer Trail, the Pony Express route, the transcontinental telegraph line, and the Cheyenne-Deadwood Stage route. The fort was designated a national monument in 1938. Three alternatives are considered in this draft EIS: the No Action Alternative, a minimum-action alternative, and a proposed alternative. Under the proposed alternative, a 9,500-square-foot visitor center emphasizing the fort's historical importance would be constructed. The park's administrative offices and library would be relocated at the new facility, and a paved access road two miles long would be constructed. The project would involve the acquisition from the Bureau of Land Management of 411 acres of public lands (on which the visitor center would be constructed), the cooperative management of private lands, and the acceptance of donations of scenic easements from private landowners. In addition, the project would involve pest and weed control programs, resource inventories, the development of a water resources program, the stabilization of stream banks and artifacts, and the reclamation of disturbed areas. Unnecessary roads, walks, and trails would be removed, and parking areas would be established outside the historic area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Restoration actions would help return the fort to its historically appropriate appearance. The surrounding landscape would be left undeveloped as much as possible in order to create a sense of isolation within the area's vast open spaces. Interpretation facilities would be improved, additionally enhancing the experience of visitors. The proposal would contribute substantially to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would disturb approximately six acres of soil and vegetation, and displace 0.5 acres of wetlands. The new buildings, road, and parking lots would increase runoff, resulting in minor surface contamination of area rivers. A portion of the access road and one historic structure planned for restoration are located in the 500-year floodplain of the Laramie River.

Preparation date: November 17, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - APPALACHIAN CORRIDOR H, ELKINS, WEST VIRGINIA, TO INTERSTATE 81, VIRGINIA. AN - 36397150; 3890 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, divided highway with partial control of access in northeastern West Virginia and northwestern Virginia is proposed. The highway would connect Elkins, West Virginia, to either Strasburg or Winchester, Virginia, extending 110 or 130 miles, respectively. It would traverse mountainous terrain in portions of the West Virginia counties of Grant, Hampshire, Hardy, Mineral, Pendleton, Randolph, and Tucker, as well as the Virginia counties of Frederick and Shenandoah. The highway would complete Corridor H of the Appalachian Development Highway System, improving east-west access as well as connecting several of the existing north-south highway systems. The purpose of this draft supplement to the draft EIS of March 1981 is to identify and evaluate alternative corridors for the proposed highway. Substantial changes in the area's physical surroundings and in the regulatory requirements have occurred since the issuance of the draft EIS; a final EIS has not yet been issued. The draft supplement examines five basic 2,000-foot-wide corridors (Schemes A-E), portions of which are combined to form 24 separate alternatives. Estimated construction costs range from $841 million to $1.649 billion, depending on the alternative selected and the extent of tunnel construction specified for each alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed east-west highway would enhance the economic development of central West Virginia by improving its access to eastern and midwestern markets. The project would reduce east-west travel time by up to 40 percent for automobiles and 48 percent for trucks; furthermore, the accident rate would be reduced by 36 percent, and fatalities by 50 percent. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace up to 1,336 residences and commercial establishments, up to 5,708 acres of farmland, and up to 786 acres of wetlands, including as many as 388 wetland acres with exceptional resource value. Some of the corridors under consideration would disturb as many as 17 sites eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, and as many as seven endangered and threatened species. Several public recreation sites would be affected, including two state parks and two national parks. All alternatives would encroach upon floodplains, with up to 566 acres being affected by several alternatives.

Preparation date: November 13, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HEALY CLEAN COAL PROJECT, DENALI BOROUGH, ALASKA. AN - 36407145; 3846 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an experimental 50-megawatt coal-fired power-generating facility in Healy, Alaska, is proposed. The site is located along the Nenana River, approximately 4 miles north of the Danali National Park and Preserve and approximately 80 miles southwest of Fairbanks and 250 miles north of Anchorage. The proposed facility would operate adjacently to the existing 25- megawatt Healy Unit No. 1 conventional pulverized-coal facility and would use low-sulfur coal and waste coal from the Usibelli Coal Mine, Inc., Poker Flats Mine, located about 4 miles north of the site. Construction costs would be shared by the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority under the Clean Coal Technology program. The facility would use innovative combustion and flue gas cleanup technologies to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter from emissions. SO2 and nitrogen oxides are the primary components of acid rain. If successful, the project would speed up the commercialization of both processes, providing private industry with sufficient data to decide whether to purchase the technologies for existing or planned power plants. Construction of the facility would commence in early 1993 and be completed in late 1995; the demonstration period would last for one year. Along with the proposed action, two other alternatives, the No Action Alternative and an alternative site for the project located 4 miles from the proposed site, are also considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would increase U.S. use of domestically produced coal; would improve the U.S. energy industry's competitive position in the world marketplace; and could lessen U.S. reliance on foreign energy sources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the proposed facility would degrade ambient air quality, but pollutant levels would be well below federal standards. The yellow-brown plume from the facility would be visible on certain days from the nearby national park. The discharge of cooling waters into the Nenana River would alter water temperatures, possibly affecting the fish population and the river's freezing pattern during winter months. Some ten acres of land would be disturbed by the project. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

Preparation date: November 12, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WHITE RIVER NATIONAL FOREST OIL AND GAS LEASING; EAGLE, GARFIELD, GUNNISON, MESA, MOFFAT, PITKIN, RIO BLANCO, ROUTT, AND SUMMIT COUNTIES, COLORADO. AN - 36407239; 3847 AB - PURPOSE: Oil and gas leasing and development are proposed for the White River National Forest in Colorado. The study area encompasses approximately 980,000 acres. A small portion of this area has experienced limited gas exploration and development since 1939. Key issues include water, soil, wildlife, air quality, recreation, socioeconomic, and transportation impacts. Five alternatives for oil and gas leasing, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative IV), national forest lands would be identified as being available for lease authorization; lands made available would be subject to supplemental lease stipulations designed to assure protection of surface resources. Stipulations would be applied to reduce the amount of land available under standard lease terms. The availability of lands for leasing would be as follows: 46,783 acres would be administratively unavailable; 253,790 acres would be available under standard lease terms; 32,718 acres would be available under controlled surface use (CSU); 288,287 acres would be available under a timing limitation; 36,484 acres would be available under timing and CSU stipulations; and 321,733 acres would be available with no surface occupancy. Some 726,008 acres would be authorized at this time. The White River National Forest Land and Resources Management Plan would be amended to include the Uniform Format for Oil and Gas Lease Stipulations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Accruals to the U.S. Treasury would include revenues from lease bonus bids, annual lease rentals, and timber sales in areas where timber would be cleared for roads or well pads. Construction and drilling activities would provide temporary employment opportunities for the local work force. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Air pollutant emissions from gas-driven field engines and emergency gas flaring could be significant in the area. Soils, vegetation, and wildlife and livestock forage in the immediate drilling areas would be disturbed. Riparian areas and wetlands would be affected by increased sediment loads and potential contaminant spills. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Onshore Oil and Gas Leasing Reform Act of 1987 (36 CFR 228, 1990).

AN - 36404259; 3769 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a permit to the Cajon Pipeline Company for the construction of a 142-mile-long oil pipeline from 12-Gauge Lake, 27 miles west of Barstow, California, to the Los Angeles crude oil terminals in Carson and Long Beach is proposed. The 20-inch- diameter, insulated and buried pipeline would transport heavy crude oil from the Santa Barbara Channel and the San Joaquin Valley to the Los Angeles Basin. Two pump stations would be needed to move heated crude oil through the pipeline. One pump station, together with a 750,000-barrel storage area, would be located at 12-Gauge Lake. The other pump station, together with control and maintenance facilities, would be located at Adelanto. The pipeline would have a maximum capacity of 180,000 barrels per day (BPD), but would be designed to operate at an average flow of 150,000 BPD. For most of the route, the pipeline would be within or adjacent to existing public and private right-of-way (ROW). It would run east, parallel to State Route (SR) 58, and then south along US 395 to the city of Adelanto, continue south and cross Interstate 15 (I-15) at two locations, cross Highway 10 east of Ontario Airport, head northwest at Mission Boulevard, cross I-605 and SR 60 near the city of Industry, follow the Union Pacific ROW to the west side of the Long Beach Freeway, cross the Southern Pacific ROW at 223rd Street, follow the Carson city limits south to the GATX Carson Terminal, and then connect with the Hynes Terminal Long Beach. The pipeline would cross 23 streams or canals, the largest being the California Aqueduct, Cajon Wash, and the Los Angeles River. It would be equipped with 46 valves with a maximum separation of 6.7 miles and with instrumentation for detection of leaks. Two alternative routes, three marketing alternatives, and a No-Project Alternative are also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline would facilitate shipment of crude oil from domestic producers to the Los Angeles Basin, where virtually all of southern California's refining capacity is located. Approximately 30 percent of the oil refined in the Los Angeles Basin comes from Alaska, but that volume would decrease by 50 percent by the year 2000. Pipeline transport would be safer than alternative modes of transport. The project would create 145 construction jobs lasting 60 to 70 days and 42 jobs lasting six to eight months, and would increase property tax revenue by approximately $616,000 per year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline route would cross active traces of the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults, and could cross the potentially active or buried segments of three other faults. Construction would result in soil erosion, which would adversely affect water quality at stream crossings. Once operational, the pipeline could rupture, resulting in significant soil and water contamination, and because the pipeline route would often extend through existing utility corridors, a catastrophic event could disrupt utility services. During construction activities, up to 630 acres of common native plant communities would be removed, resulting in the death or displacement of various wildlife species, including several threatened or endangered species.

Preparation date: October 29, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED SWINOMISH MARINA, LA CONNER, SKAGIT COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36414051; 3833 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a 786-slip saltwater marina and related upland support facilities by the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community on a 136-acre site located on the west shore of the Swinomish Channel, immediately north of State Route 20 near La Conner, Skagit County, Washington, is proposed. The project's waterborne development includes 3,350 lineal feet of combined floating rubble-mound breakwater and timber seawall, 16,000 lineal feet of slip space built into 15 walkways totaling 8,800 lineal feet, a fuel dock, a four-lane boat launch, and a boat repair basin. The 41-acre marina basin would have approximately 331 covered moorage slips and 455 uncovered slips. Also proposed for construction are a marina services building, selected retail shops, a marine supply store, a secondary sewage treatment plant, highway on/off-ramp improvements, highway-related retail facilities, a boat trailer parking area, a fuel dock, a 40-unit motel, marine-related office space, dry storage, a service station, and a light-industrial operating area. Construction of the boat basin would require excavation of approximately 1.017 million cubic yards (cy) of sand and silt over an area of 43 acres. Approximately 600,000 cy of dredged material would be used on-site for constructing the common excavation dike. Of the remaining dredged material, 292,600 cy would be used at a proposed mitigation site and the rest would be disposed of at other upland locations on the reservation. The proposed mitigation site would be a 55-acre parcel of agricultural land adjacent to and west of the Swinomish Channel, about one mile south of the proposed marina site. Approximately 23 acres of the mitigation site would be restored to intertidal pickleweed habitat, and approximately 11, 0.7, and 4 acres of mud flat, dune, and subtidal habitat, respectively, would also be created at the site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed marina would serve two primary purposes: to meet the moorage needs of the recreational boating public, and to provide economic development opportunities for the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community. The proposed project would generate a minimum of 100 construction jobs, plus up to 230 permanent jobs for members of the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community. These jobs would provide an economic stimulus to the community. The site would be altered from a commercial bingo parlor and vacant uplands to a marina with upland support facilities. A maximum of 29,850 annual boat trips, with a maximum of 8,000 peak-month trips, 640 peak-day trips, and 96 peak-hour trips, are estimated for the marina. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in an increased risk of accidental spills of oil or sewage into open water. The project would eliminate 9.4 acres of dune vegetation and 26 acres of upland meadows on the site. The dredge-and-fill operations would alter on-site elevations, and would result in the combined net loss of 9 acres of wetland (salt marsh) and 27 acres of intertidal mud flat at the project site. Some 55 acres of agricultural land would be permanently altered. There would be a reduction in the salmon-rearing capacity of the project site, and bird populations could be reduced by an estimated one-third. The reduction of eelgrass, mud flat, and salt marsh habitat would be detrimental to benthic invertebrate populations. Increases in noise and human activity in the site vicinity could affect harbor seals, river otters, birds, and other wildlife. Decreased prey and habitat availability and increased human action would permanently displace wintering bald eagles and peregrine falcons at the site. Additional impervious surfaces at the site would increase storm water runoff.

Preparation date: October 26, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LOW-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE FACILITY, WARD VALLEY, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1992). AN - 36412684; 3824 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a license to construct and operate a low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) disposal facility at Ward Valley in San Bernardino County, California, is proposed. The site, which is 23 miles west of Needles and 13 miles from the Colorado River, is located near the northern end of Ward Valley and covers approximately 1.5 square miles (including a buffer zone with a minimum width of 2,000 feet). The facility contractor is U.S. Ecology, Inc., formerly named Nuclear Engineering, Inc. The proposed facility would receive and dispose of wastes generated within California, Arizona, North Dakota, and South Dakota over a period of 30 years, until closure. After closure, the state of California would maintain the site for a period of 100 years. The facility would accept only LLRW, including Class A, B, and C waste. Class A waste consists of radionuclides with short half-lives. Class B waste consists of a mixture of radionuclides, some with short half-lives and some with long half-lives. Class C waste consists of radionuclides with long half-lives. No high-level radioactive wastes, nuclear weapons-related wastes, or other hazardous wastes would be accepted. Reclamation efforts would be directed toward restoring the site so that surface use could be initiated approximately 100 years following closure. The land for the facility would be conveyed from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to the California State Lands Commission through the State Indemnity Selection process; the State Lands Commission would then transfer the land to the California Department of Health Services (DHS), the state agency responsible for licensing an LLRW facility. An alternative method of conveyance would be a direct sale by BLM to DHS. This draft supplement to the final EIS of April 1991 considers the effects of a direct sale of 1,000 acres to DHS, a mode of conveyance not examined in the final EIS. All other elements of the proposed action discussed in the final EIS are incorporated by reference in this draft supplement. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The establishment and operation of the facility would allow California to meet its federal mandate to dispose of its own LLRW by 1993. The project would also fulfill California's obligation to provide a facility for disposing of similar wastes from three other states, as per the Southwestern LLRW Disposal Compact. Direct sale of the land to DHS by BLM would have no adverse impacts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposal presented in the final EIS, surface use of the site would be precluded for approximately 100 years, while below-ground use would be precluded for approximately 500 years. The operation and subsequent management of the site could result in safety hazards because of possible safety-system failures; these impacts could affect water and air quality, associated human health, and the biological resources of the surrounding desert environment, including the endangered desert tortoise.

Preparation date: October 23, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED REDDING RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, BUTTE, SHASTA, SISKIYOU, TEHAMA, AND TRINITY COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36410257; 3784 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management plan for 247,500 acres of public land and 145,200 acres of federal mineral estate in the 9.9-million-acre Redding Resource Area (RRA) in Butte, Shasta, Siskiyou, Tehama, and Trinity counties, California, is proposed. Public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) make up roughly 2.5 percent of the entire land mass within the RRA. The plan would focus on resolving planning issues associated with land tenure adjustment, recreation management, public access, and forest management. In addition to the focal planning issues, the BLM requires decisions regarding a number of management concerns, including special designations (areas of critical environmental concern, special recreation management areas, and streams eligible for inclusion in the National System of Wild and Scenic Rivers) and specific requirements of BLM planning regulations. In addition to the No Action Alternative, four land use management alternatives were evaluated. Under the proposed management plan, the Scott Valley and Yolla Bolly management areas would undergo administrative adjustment; the Klamath, Trinity, Shasta, and Ishi management areas would be designated for resource use with natural values consideration; the Sacramento River Management Area would undergo enhancement of natural and cultural values; and the Horseshoe Ranch Habitat Management Area would be doubled in size to benefit deer. Public ownership in the upper Klamath River corridor would be consolidated to protect river recreational and natural values. Public ownership would increase in the Shasta River and Klamath River canyons to protect riparian and salmonid values. Major acquisitions would be made in the Shasta Valley to protect wetlands and waterfowl. The Trinity River corridor would be managed to protect amenity values associated with the river. Public lands surrounding the Trinity River corridor (except the Tunnel Ridge portion of the Trinity Alps Wilderness) and extending eastward to French Gulch would be managed principally to provide sustained-yield forestry, deer winter range habitat, special-status species protection, and dispersed recreation. The Interlakes Special Recreation Management Area between Kett, Central Valley, Whiskeytown, and French Gulch would be managed to provide a spectrum of recreational opportunities. Lower Clear Creek anadromous salmonid habitat would be improved, as would the scenic values of the Clear Creek Canyon above Clear Creek Road. The Sacramento River Management Area, including lower Paynes Creek and Battle Creek below Manton Road, would be managed to enhance natural values, semiprimitive recreational opportunities, and the protection of archaeological resources. Deer Creek and Butte Creek canyons would be managed to protect natural values and provide primitive to semiprimitive recreational opportunities. Large tracts of public land would be transferred to the Forest Service, state and local governments, and qualified organizations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Full implementation of the plan would result in public stewardship of 132.5 miles of anadromous salmonid habitat in key areas. Between 100 and 300 additional archaeological sites would be protected. Up to 38,400 acres of critical winter range for the Weaverville and Whiskeytown deer herds would have long-term protection, resulting in population increases of 15 to 25 percent. Scenic quality would be protected on all public land currently in Visual Resource Management Classes I and II. Nine known sites encompassing 113.8 acres of slender orcutt grass would be protected. Approximately 2,007 acres of land deemed suitable habitat for the northern spotted owl would be protected. Up to 17,480 acres of wetland habitat would be protected in the Shasta Valley and between 200 and 300 acres of additional wetlands would be protected in the Sacramento River Management Area, resulting in increases in waterfowl populations of 15 to 25 percent and 60 to 80 percent, respectively. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Slight degradation would occur on 4,079 acres of existing public land that is deemed suitable habitat for the northern spotted owl. Federal management authority would be lost for 150 to 700 archaeological sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

Preparation date: October 19, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - INTERIM COLUMBIA AND SNAKE RIVER FLOW IMPROVEMENT MEASURES FOR SALMON; OREGON, WASHINGTON, AND IDAHO (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1992). AN - 36405078; 3831 AB - PURPOSE: The modification of flow regimes associated with eight projects on the Columbia River and its tributaries in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington is proposed to improve the Pacific salmon fishery. The Columbia River and its tributaries form the dominant water system in the Pacific Northwest. The geographic scope of this analysis is the Columbia River Basin from the Bonneville Dam in Oregon upstream to the Brownlee Reservoir on the middle Snake River in Idaho, and farther upstream to Arrow Lakes on the upper Columbia River in Canada. The water management actions under consideration would be implemented at three storage reservoirs (Dworshak, Grand Coulee, and Brownlee) and five mainstream run-of-river dams operated by the Corps of Engineers. (The indirect effects of these system operation changes on Libby and Hungry Horse reservoirs in Montana are included in this analysis.) The dams are operated to meet multiple needs, including navigation, flood control, hydropower, recreation, irrigation, and fish and wildlife habitat. This draft supplement to the final EIS of January 1992 responds to two actions of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS): in November 1991, NMFS declared the Snake River sockeye salmon an endangered species, and in April 1992, NMFS listed the Snake River chinook salmon as a threatened species. In taking these actions, NMFS identified hydropower development within the Columbia River Basin as one of the factors contributing to the decline of salmon populations. The final EIS had recommended increasing the velocity of river flow to move the juvenile salmon downstream more rapidly and reduce their exposure to predators, but the scope of that EIS was limited to actions implemented in 1992. This draft supplement considers the implementation of flow improvement measures in 1993 and subsequent years. Five alternatives are under consideration in this draft supplement, including a No Action Alternative. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 4), most actions occurring during the 1992 operating year would be recommended for 1993 and thereafter. These actions include lowering pool elevations at the affected reservoirs during all or part of the smolt migration, and discharging additional water during the spring migration season to increase river flow. The Snake River flow augmentation plan would involve the discharge from Dworshak of 900,000 acre-feet (af) in the spring and 470,000 af in the summer; from Brownlee of 137,000 af in July and 100,000 af in September; and from multiple smaller sources above Brownlee of up to 190,000 af. Columbia River flows could be augmented by releases from the Grand Coulee and Arrow dams. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By increasing the flows for upstream and downstream migration, the plan would improve the ability of salmon populations to spawn and migrate within the Columbia River system. As a result, populations could increase significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The drawdown of the reservoirs would have an adverse effect on resident fish populations. The lowered pool elevations and flow augmentation actions would result in lost hydroelectric generation and operating flexibility, and would probably require the purchase of power from outside the region at an estimated cost of $66 million to $93 million. The exposed shorelines at the drawn-down reservoirs would detract from their visual quality. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).

AN - 36412459; 3768 AB - PURPOSE: The designation of certain public lands for oil and gas leasing, exploration, and development within the Hollister Resource Area in central California is proposed. The resource area includes approximately 310,000 acres of public lands, and 385,000 acres of private lands with federal ownership of subsurface minerals, within the counties of Monterey, San Benito, Fresno, Madera, and Merced. The management of public lands within the resource area is guided by the Resource Management Plan (RMP) adopted in 1984. This draft EIS would amend the RMP to consider the effects of oil and gas exploration and development on air quality; threatened, endangered, and other special-status plants and animals; visual quality; and groundwater and surface water quality, plus the effects of any new restrictions on energy exploration and development. Five alternatives, including a Continuation of Current Management Practices Alternative, are under consideration. The preferred alternative (Alternative D) would allow for continued exploratory drilling on public lands, but would impose certain restrictions in order to minimize environmental impacts. Under these restrictions, the Squaw Leap Management Area, the California Coastal Zone, the Carmel River watershed, and 23,782 acres under consideration for wilderness designation would not be available for leasing. In addition, some 4,120 acres of land within the foreground ""viewshed'' of the Pinnacles National Monument and 168,160 acres of land that contains the potential or known habitats of three threatened or endangered species would be subject to a no-surface-occupancy stipulation. Under the preferred alternative, 182,688 acres of public land and 273,880 acres of private land would be available for leasing under standard leasing terms. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Oil and gas development in the area would help lessen U.S. dependence on foreign energy sources and would benefit the local economy. The restrictions under the RMP would help minimize the environmental impacts of such development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The continued operation of two oil fields could jeopardize three threatened or endangered plants and two plants that are being considered for designation as threatened or endangered, particularly if drought conditions persist. Exploration and development in chaparral habitats could also destroy habitat for another plant being considered for threatened-and-endangered listing. The continued operation of two other oil fields in the area could result in the loss of the endangered San Joaquin kit fox and blunt-nosed leopard lizard populations. The increased emissions of air pollutants from drilling equipment would contribute to Fresno County's problems in meeting federal air quality standards.

AN - 36409191; 3826 AB - PURPOSE: The diversion of waters from the La Plata and Animas rivers for irrigation, municipal, and industrial uses for La Plata and Montezuma counties in southwestern Colorado and San Juan County in northwestern New Mexico is proposed. The proposed project would store water pumped from the Animas River in the Ridges Basin Reservoir, and water pumped from both rivers in the Southern Ute Reservoir. Irrigation water for lands in Colorado would be pumped from the Ridges Basin Reservoir and conveyed through the Dry Side Canal and/or diverted from the La Plata River by means of an existing or a constructed diversion structure. Irrigation water for New Mexico would be stored in the Southern Ute Reservoir, released to the New Mexico irrigation canal, and distributed through a piped lateral system. Water for the Ute Mountain Ute tribe would be available from the Dry Side Canal, and for the Southern Ute Indian tribe from the Southern Ute Reservoir. Municipal and industrial water for Durango, Colorado, would be pumped at the Durango Pumping Plant or released from the Ridges Basin Reservoir, and would be conveyed through the Durango M&I pipeline or, for western subdivisions, through the Shenandoah M&I pipeline. The total project water supply would average 195,400 acre-feet (af) annually. Approximately 115,300 af would be used for irrigating 17,650 acres of land presently being irrigated and 49,810 acres presently being dry-farmed or not under cultivation. Approximately 40,000 af would be made available annually to communities in both states for municipal and industrial uses. An additional 40,100 af would be provided to the Southern Ute Indian tribe, the Ute Mountain Ute tribe, and the Navajo Nation for industrial uses. The proposed project would also provide for fish and wildlife preservation, recreation facilities, and a cultural resources program. This draft supplement to the final EIS of 1980 examines changes in the project's environmental effects resulting from changes in design and construction phasing, increases in the type and amount of dredged material to be discharged into U.S. waters, the settlement of Indian water rights claims, and other regulatory developments. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide equitable distribution of water for a variety of uses within the region. Project construction would aid the local economy, generating 4,635 direct jobs and 3,117 indirect jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would result in the permanent loss of 164 acres, and the temporary loss of 113 acres, of vegetation; increased salinity in the area water supply; a 10 percent reduction in native fishery in the Animas River; the loss of wetlands adjacent to the rivers; and the disturbance of the entire 7,503-acre Bobo Wildlife Area and the 3,650-acre Hermosa Herd Unit elk habitat. Two endangered species of fish would also be jeopardized by the completion of the project.

Preparation date: October 13, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MIMBRES RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT, DONA ANA, LUNA, GRANT, AND HIDALGO COUNTIES, NEW MEXICO. AN - 36388988; 3790 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a 20-year land and resource management plan for 3.05 million acres of public lands and 4.1 million acres of federal mineral estate in the Mimbres Resource Area of the Las Cruces District of southwestern New Mexico is proposed. The lands under consideration lie in Dona Ana, Luna, Grant, and Hidalgo counties. Focal issues addressed by the plan include land tenure adjustments; areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs) and special management areas; vehicle management; and access. In addition, the plan addresses rights-of-way; recreation; minerals; cultural and paleontological resources; wildlife habitat; vegetation; riparian and arroyo habitat; special-status species; and soil, air, and water quality. Alternatives under consideration include continuation of the current management plan, a Resource Preservation Alternative, a Resource Production Alternative, and a Resource Conservation Alternative, which is the preferred alternative. Under the preferred alternative, management of the study area would result in the following: the designation of 156,460 acres of public land as being for disposal; the designation of 93,110 acres of state trust land and 56,210 acres of private land as being for acquisition; the designation of 21 ACECs; the designation of the Butterfield Trail (15,690 acres) as a historical area and the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (48,450 acres) as a scenic area; the recommended designation of 33,280 acres within four areas as being for wilderness study; the identification of two wild and scenic river study areas; motor vehicle designations resulting in 16,190 acres open to unlimited use, 2.37 million acres open to use on existing roads and trails, 532,530 acres open to use on designated trails, and 133,470 acres closed to vehicle use; the development of access to 19 acres via new-road construction, land ownership adjustment, easement acquisition, and/or condemnation; the exclusion of 264,870 acres from development of rights-of-way, and the designation of 783,400 acres for exclusion from rights-of-way consideration; the withdrawal of 64,000 acres from locatable mineral entry in the Apache Box, Guadalupe Canyon, Organ/Franklin Mountains, and Paleozoic Trackways ACECs; the prohibition of mineral entry in all ACECs and the two above-mentioned trail corridors (331,950 acres); the closure of 274,000 acres to fluid mineral entry; the designation of two new special recreational management areas (SMRAs) in addition to the two existing SMRAs; and the implementation of specific cultural, paleontological, wildlife, soil, air, and water resource management stipulations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would provide a comprehensive framework for managing public land and for allocating resources during the coming 20 years, based on the principles of multiple use and sustained yield. The plan would establish areas for limited, restricted, and exclusive uses; levels of production; allowable resource uses; resource condition objectives; program uses and constraints; and general management direction. Land tenure adjustments and recreational activities in the resource area would result in net income increases. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some lands within ACECs that would be closed to mineral development could be economically viable under certain mineral development schemes. Access would be lost due to the disposal of large blocks of land unless easements were secured. Vehicle access would be eliminated south of Anapra Road and State Road near the Mexican border. The land disposal could result in surface and subsurface disturbances and the loss of associated vegetation and wildlife habitat. The elimination of livestock grazing due to land tenure adjustments and administrative actions would result in some economic losses.

Preparation date: October 8, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - KALOKO-HONOKOHAU NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, HAWAII COUNTY, HAWAII. AN - 36411262; 3786 AB - PURPOSE: The development of Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park in Hawaii, including the construction of visitor facilities and services, increased staffing, and the implementation of resource management strategies, is proposed. The park is located on the North Kona coast of the island of Hawaii, approximately three miles north of the Kailua and three miles south of Keahole Airport. The park contains over 500 acres, most of which consists of the offshore waters of Honokohau Bay. Conditions affecting the park include its location near a rapidly expanding urban area, the incompatible uses of adjacent lands, and rapidly increasing visitor use. In 1991, 46,790 people visited the park, up from 12,500 in 1988. The key issues related to park improvement are land acquisition, adjacent land use, access and development, visitor use, the establishment of a park advisory commission, and resource protection and management. Four alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action, which is the National Park Service's general management plan, would lead to full development of the park. The facilities to be constructed would include an orientation center, amphitheater, and administrative office complex; restrooms near Honokohau beach; and a live-in cultural education complex where a limited number of people, Hawaiians and others, could recreate traditional Hawaiian ways. A vehicle access road would be built from the existing highway to the orientation center. Underground utilities would be installed from the highway to the orientation center, and from the center to the beach restrooms. A parkwide trail system would be built to provide access to the park's cultural and natural attributes. The existing administrative and maintenance facilities located in nearby Kaloko Industrial Park would be relocated to the national park. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the implementation of management strategies for maintaining and enhancing cultural and natural resources would be made possible because of the proposed staffing increases. Visitor safety and interpretive services would be improved. Without the implementation of any resource development, the park's resources would degrade over the long term. Vegetation management plans, including the removal of alien grasses and introduction of native species, would contribute to the integrity of the park and reduce fire hazards. Habitat improvement and predator control plans would help endangered coot and stilt populations. The addition of a marine biologist position would enhance the park's capability to better protect marine resources. The construction activities and increased staffing would benefit the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The environmental consequences of the proposed action would include disruption of the park's historic resources in places where development was undertaken, and the covering over of about four acres of parkland with impervious surfaces, such as buildings, parking facilities, and roads. The introduction of underground sewer lines would increase the potential for spills from broken pipes to affect the park's groundwater. The runoff from parking and road surfaces could also enter groundwater during precipitation.

AN - 36412491; 3771 AB - PURPOSE: The authorization for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to lease Forest Service (FS) lands for oil and gas exploration and development within the Beartooth Ranger District of Custer National Forest in Montana is proposed. The study area encompasses approximately 177,100 acres in the Beartooth Mountains outside of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Area, and within the greater Yellowstone area which surrounds Yellowstone National Park. The study area has experienced oil and gas exploration since the late 1880s, but the most recent drilling sites have been abandoned, as they were determined not to contain economically advantageous quantities of oil or gas. The petroleum industry has expressed continuing interest in leasing specific lands; about 46,000 acres are currently leased within the study area. The FS proposes the following actions: to reconsider Custer National Forest Land Management Plan (forest plan) leasing conditions; to display which National Forest System and split-estate lands are administratively available for leasing; to identify specific lease stipulations applicable to those lands; and to authorize the BLM to offer specific administratively available lands and other lands for leasing. In addition, the BLM would be responsible for applying environmental and cultural protection requirements to the leases it issues, and the FS could amend the forest plan to include site-specific changes as indicated in the analysis. The key issues identified include the impacts of exploration and drilling on soil, vegetation, fish and wildlife habitat, aesthetic values, recreation, cultural resources, roadless and wilderness areas, the quality of life, and economic stability and revenue. Three availability alternatives (including a No-Availability Alternative) and five leasing alternatives (including a No-New-Leasing Alternative) are considered in this draft EIS. The availability alternatives differ primarily in whether a 1,000-acre core area in Management Area C would be made available for leasing. The leasing alternatives differ in the amount of acreage that would be covered under various leasing terms and stipulations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Federal, state, and county revenue returns from bonus bids and rentals could total $446,800 to $660,500, depending on the leasing alternative selected. Up to 131 local jobs, with $2.71 million in earnings, could be generated. Additional cultural resources, known to be extant in the study area, would be identified during exploration. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: About 45 percent of the study area consists of fragile and high-hazard soils, including alpine soils, which are very vulnerable to disturbances from road use and vegetation removal, compaction, erosion, and permafrost melt. The displacement or habitat disturbance of several sensitive, big game, and other wildlife species could occur, and would only be partially minimized by mitigation actions. Drilling activity, road construction, and field development would degrade visual, water resource, and air quality.

Preparation date: October 1, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DARK CANYON ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT, EDDY COUNTY, NEW MEXICO. AN - 36408913; 3772 AB - PURPOSE: Drilling for oil and gas within the Dark Canyon Special Management Area in Eddy County, New Mexico, is proposed. The project area encompasses approximately 8,320 acres in the Guadalupe Mountains in southeastern New Mexico. It is located just north of Carlsbad Caverns National Park, which is managed by the National Park Service, and about ten miles southwest of the city of Carlsbad. The project area is noted for its rugged, scenic landscape and cave resources. Two major geological resources in the area are the Lechugilla Cave within the national park and the Capitan aquifer, which supplies drinking water to the city of Carlsbad. The permit applicant, Yates Energy Corporation, has proposed to use conventional methods to drill the Diamondback Federal Number 1 well on federal lease NM-62161 and up to seven additional gas wells within the project area. Each well would have an estimated life of 20 to 30 years. Five alternatives are analyzed in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative C), the location of the proposed Diamondback well would be moved east, so that it would be 500 to 563 feet from the east line and 2,007 feet from the south line, in order to avoid the possibility of drilling through a potential cave passage. Furthermore, a site-specific lineament study would be conducted and subsurface mitigative measures would be applied to all wells drilled within the study area. Drilling would avoid all known lineaments, natural potential anomalies, and significant helium measurements, which could indicate an undiscovered cave or fracture that communicates with Lechugilla Cave. The Diamondback well and any subsequent wells drilled would each require approximately 90 acres for pad, road, and pipeline construction. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would produce 25 billion cubic feet of natural gas, with a royalty value of about $4 million for the federal, state, and county governments. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Despite precautions taken under the preferred alternative, the potential would remain for drilling fluids, cuttings, cement, and poisonous gases to enter voids or cave passages and damage or destroy cave resources and organisms. Drilling locations would alter the form, line, color, and texture of the landscape, degrading the beauty and wilderness quality of the area. Development of the Diamondback well would result in the initial loss of approximately 50 acres of vegetation; 17 acres of vegetation and wildlife habitat would be lost throughout the life of the project.

Preparation date: September 8, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - OURAY TO INTERSTATE 70 HIGHWAY, UINTAH AND GRAND COUNTIES, UTAH. AN - 36409428; 3812 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an 83-mile-long highway crossing public lands in Uintah and Grand counties, Utah, is proposed. The proposed highway would connect Utah State Highway 88 (U-88), south of Ouray, with Interstate 70 (I-70) near Cisco, approximately ten miles west of the Colorado state line. The proposed highway would provide an all-weather transportation route between the oil and gas fields of northeastern and southeastern Utah, and serve as a north-south tourist route. The highway would be constructed to Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) and federal highway standards, and upon completion, UDOT would accept the highway into the Utah Federal Aid Highway System and would designate it as US 191. A 200-foot right-of-way would be required along the entire route; approximately 70 percent of the proposed route would cross public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The highway would be paved with native asphalt mined from open pits. Gravel would be hauled from proposed extraction pits in the project area. All disturbed areas, including the asphalt pits, borrow pits, and highway haul roads, would be rehabilitated and reseeded with a BLM-approved seed mixture for the area. Four alternative highway alignments are under consideration for the proposed route; in addition, the Pave Existing Alignments Alternative and the No Action Alternative are also under consideration. The agency-preferred alternative is the Pave Existing Alignments Alternative. Under this alternative, the highway would not be constructed as proposed; instead the local agencies would pave the existing road as funds became available. The route to be paved would have a total length of 93 miles; beginning at Ouray, it would follow Seep Ridge Road to the existing road through East Canyon, and at the confluence of Hay, Middle, and East canyons it would continue southeast to I-70 at the Harley Dome interchange. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed route would shorten the driving distance between Vernal, Utah, where US 191 continues north, and Crescent Junction, Utah, on I-70, where US 191 continues south, to 157 miles; currently, the most-traveled route between these two towns is 195 miles long. The proposed highway would provide improved access to oil, gas, oil shale, gilsonite, tar sand deposits, and existing wells in the area, as well as increased speed and access for sportsmen, stockmen, woodcutters, and tourists. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed route would traverse 2.4 miles of terrain with a high landslide potential, 13.4 miles of floodplain, and 43.6 miles of important fossil-bearing formations. Realignment of 22,200 feet of stream channel would be required in narrow valley bottoms along the proposed route. The route would disturb a significant amount of big game habitat as well as the potential habitat of three endangered species in the following amounts: 96 acres of prairie dog towns, 61 acres of bald eagle winter range, and 558 acres of Mexican spotted owl habitat. In all, approximately 2,022 acres with various mixes of vegetation would be disturbed by the proposed route. The agency-preferred alternative would primarily result in short-term, construction-related disturbances.

Preparation date: September 4, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (CONCESSION SERVICES), YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1980). AN - 36408988; 3782 AB - PURPOSE: This final supplement to the final EIS of September 1980 addresses the possible revision of the general management plan (GMP) for the 760,917-acre Yosemite National Park, located within Tuolumne, Mariposa, and Madera counties, California, to provide for management of concession services in the park. The need for concession services and the associated environmental impacts have not changed fundamentally since 1980. Visitation has increased most notably during nonsummer months; the greatest increase has been in day use. The number of visitor facilities outside the park has also increased since 1980, but these facilities do not provide adequate overnight accommodations, food, and other services to achieve the park's goals concerning visitors' needs, travel distances, and travel time to and from park facilities. The primary revisions to the GMP involve (1) an increase in food service seating through redesign of existing indoor space and an increase in outdoor seating to alleviate crowding, and (2) a slightly larger reduction in the number of rooms and a change in the mix and types of rooms. Under the proposed action, lodging would be reduced from the 1980 plan figures by 15.2 percent parkwide and approximately 20.5 percent in Yosemite Valley; these figures would constitute slightly greater reductions than those included in the GMP and in the draft supplement to the final EIS. The total number of rooms with private baths would increase from 38 to 59 percent. The number of units at Curry Village would be reduced from 626 to approximately 420; the number of units at Housekeeping Camp would be reduced to 232; and the number of rooms at Yosemite Lodge would be reduced from 495 to 440. The Wawona Hotel, White Wolf, the Ahwahnee Hotel, Tuolumne Meadows, and the High Sierra camps would remain at present capacities. Food service would continue at present levels within existing structures, rather than being reduced as indicated in the GMP; some remodeling and redesign would take place, and new restaurants would be added at Wawona and White Wolf. Merchandise and retail outlets in Yosemite Valley would be reduced from existing and GMP levels. Regarding visitor activities, the revised plan would continue the resource-related approach, although several facility closures would be implemented. Concessioner support services for private functions and special events would be reduced or eliminated. Total concessioner facility costs connected with implementing the primary concessioner's portion of the plan are estimated at $28.6 million for construction and repair; these costs do not include Yosemite Valley employee housing and facilities costs, which are included in the draft housing plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Some structures would be removed from the 100-year floodplain, improving floodplain management, allowing for the regeneration of wetlands, and generally improving the values of the river. The removal of structures in scenic areas would significantly improve visual aesthetics. Visitor convenience would be enhanced by the increased number of food service seats. The educational experience provided by the park would be enhanced through increased emphasis on interpretation. Plan modifications would generally facilitate preservation of historically and archaeologically significant resources within the park. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The availability of lodging in Yosemite Valley would decrease by 310 rooms, a reduction of 20.3 percent. Parkwide, lodging would decrease from 1,782 to 1,472 rooms, a 17.4 percent reduction. Visitors interested in low-priced accommodations would be particularly affected. The relocation of certain services would inconvenience some visitors and residents who have become accustomed to the existing locations. Tennis facilities would be removed from the valley. Construction activities would destroy vegetation and disturb soils and associated wildlife habitat. Water quality would be degraded by storm water runoff in developed areas. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

AN - 36387627; 3699 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a resource management plan for 212,000 acres of federal land and 21,000 acres of reserved mineral estate administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in its Klamath Falls District in Oregon is proposed. The district is located in southern Klamath County on the eastern slope of the Cascade Range. Water in the planning area drains into the upper Klamath River and the Lost River drainage. The west side is predominantly forested with mixed conifer species consisting of ponderosa pine, white fir, Shasta red fir, sugar pine, western white pine, and Douglas-fir. The east side is partially forested with ponderosa pine, and the remaining lands are juniper woodlands and rangelands. The plan would establish guidelines for management of these lands for approximately ten years and would supersede the management framework plans for these lands that were completed in 1980 and 1983. Issues of concern include timber production practices, maintenance of old-growth forests and habitat diversity, threatened and endangered species habitat, special management areas, visual resources, water quality protection, recreation resources, wild and scenic rivers, land tenure, rural interface areas, hydroelectric and alternative energy projects, and grazing. Of particular interest is the issue of whether or not to harvest the remaining old-growth forests, and the likely effects of harvesting on the biological diversity of the area and on the northern spotted owl, a threatened species. Seven alternative plans have been developed, including a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would provide for a planned annual timber sale of 1.027 million cubic feet (5.79 million board feet) while maintaining water quality in all watersheds and long-term biological diversity. In addition, the preferred alternative would (1) maintain air quality and long-term soil productivity; (2) restrict grazing near some riparian areas, while providing for the construction of 51 reservoirs and the development of 9 springs to support livestock; (3) retain 1,379 acres of old-growth forestlands and 4,100 acres of mature stands; (4) protect all known spotted owl and bald eagle nesting sites; (5) designate 4 new areas of critical environmental concern on 8,180 acres; (6) recommend 25 historic and prehistoric sites on 175 acres for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and one river segment 11 miles long for designation as a wild and scenic river; (7) develop 2 to 16 new recreation sites if funding were available; (8) provide for oil/gas and geothermal leasing on 238,400 acres; and (9) provide for the construction of 22 miles of new roads. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide a moderate sustained yield of forest products to contribute community stability consistent with other resource values. Wildlife habitat, soil productivity, and visual resources would improve. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The restrictions on timber harvesting under the preferred alternative would result in a decline in timber production, which would adversely affect all sectors of the area economy, particularly the lumber and wood products industry. The proposed timber management program would support 40 jobs, in contrast to the 150 jobs supported in the 1984-88 baseline period. Mill closures, decreasing employment, and migration from timber-dependent communities would result. The employment losses would likely affect local demand for social services. The water quality in one watershed would probably decline as a result of increased sedimentation. Air quality would be degraded by the prescribed burning each year of approximately 102,000 tons of slash. Old-growth forest area would be reduced by approximately 100 acres at the end of the ten-year planning period. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

AN - 36413695; 3698 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a resource management plan (RMP) for 393,600 acres of federal land and 27,800 acres of reserved mineral estate administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in its Salem District, located in northwestern Oregon, is proposed. The plan would establish guidelines for management of these lands for approximately ten years and would supersede two management framework plans for these lands, completed in 1983. Issues of concern include timber production practices, maintenance of old-growth forests and habitat diversity, threatened and endangered species habitat, special management areas, visual resources, watershed management, water quality protection, recreation resources, wild and scenic rivers, and land tenure and access. Of particular interest is the issue of whether or not to harvest the remaining old-growth forests, and the likely effects of harvesting on biological diversity and the northern spotted owl, a threatened species. Seven alternative plans have been developed, including a No Action Alternative. Under the preferred alternative, administered lands would be classified as follows: general forest (100,300 acres); visual resources management areas (15,800 acres); old-growth-emphasis areas (134,200 acres); connectivity areas to link old-growth-emphasis areas (33,300 acres); nonsuitable woodland (35,600 acres); nonforestlands (22,700 acres); table rock wilderness (6,000 acres); and riparian management, recreation, special, and threatened- and endangered-species sites, and other areas (45,700). The annual allowable timber sale quantity (ASQ) would be 136.5 million board feet, which is 57 percent of the current ASQ. The RMP would be designed to protect federally listed or proposed threatened and endangered plant and animal species, specifically the Pacific bald eagle, the marbled murrelet, and the northern spotted owl. Biological connectivity corridors, special habitats such as talus slopes and meadows, elk and other species' habitats and forage, anadramous fish streams, and recreation at developed sites would be improved and enhanced. The Molalla River and Quartzville Creek roads would be dedicated as national backcountry byways. To facilitate motorized recreation, some 287,700 acres would be open year-round to off-road-vehicle (ORV) use, with some 30,800 acres being closed to ORVs and 75,100 acres having limited ORV use. Rural interface areas would total 36,380 acres. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The BLM managers believe that the preferred alternative would provide a good balance between public demands and the capabilities and limitations of the lands' resources, within the constraints of a variety of legal mandates. It would represent a sustainable balance between the protection of natural resources and the production of economic outputs. Nonresident recreation activities on BLM lands would support 120 jobs, the timber harvest would support 1,250 jobs, and timber management activity would support 129 jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, there would be a short-term decline in biological diversity in old-forest stands. Mineral leasing opportunities would decline as a result of the restriction of some lands to habitat and recreation sites. The timber harvest under the RMP would support 1,320 fewer jobs than under the current plans, leading to substantial job losses in some communities in the area and an increased demand for social services.

Minor acreages in Benton County would also be covered. The plan would establish guidelines for management of these lands for approximately ten years and would supersede the management framework plans for these lands, completed in 1983. Issues of concern include timber production practices, maintenance of old-growth forests and habitat diversity, threatened and endangered species habitat, special management areas, visual resources, watershed management, stream and riparian areas, recreation resources, wild and scenic rivers, land tenure and access, and rural residential management areas. Of particular interest is the issue of whether or not to harvest the remaining old-growth forests, and the likely effects of harvesting on biological diversity and the northern spotted owl, a threatened species. Seven alternative plans have been developed, including a No Action Alternative. Under the preferred alternative, approximately 259,000 acres would be managed for timber production; the annual allowable timber sale quantity would be 19.9 million cubic feet (119 million board feet). Such timber harvest plans would require the construction of approximately 220 miles of new roads. Approximately 38,000 acres of old-growth forest and 28,000 acres of mature forest would be retained at the end of the ten-year management period. Some 80 to 100 acres around each old-growth site occupied by a pair of spotted owls would be protected from harvest activities; such a management approach would support 8 to 29 pairs of spotted owls. In addition, sites for existing populations of bald eagles and marbled murrelets would be protected, and habitat for elk and other big game species would be improved. Three river segments covering 70 miles would be recommended for designation as wild and scenic rivers; 1,390 acres would be managed as Class I areas for scenic quality; and 18 additional recreational areas would be developed and managed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would emphasize a variety and mix of actions to achieve a balance between competing demands on uses of public lands. In addition to identifying management direction within the planning area, the plan would identify public lands designated as open, closed, or limited to off-highway vehicles. Wildlife habitats would improve. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The restrictions on timber harvesting under all alternatives would result in a decline in timber production for the area compared with production for the period 1984-88. Mill closures, decreasing employment, and migration from timber-dependent communities would result. The employment losses would likely affect local demand for social services. Old-growth and mature forest stands would decline by 8 percent under the preferred alternative. Sediment and turbidity could increase in some watersheds as a result of increased compaction. The water quality in seven watersheds would probably decline as a result of increased sedimentation. Air quality would be degraded by the prescribed burning each year of approximately 77 tons of debris and timber.

AN - 36407888; 3665 AB - PURPOSE: The leasing and development of oil and gas resources on approximately one-third of the three million acres administered in the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison national forests in Colorado is proposed. Key issues are slope stability and geologic hazards; roadless and undeveloped areas; wildlife and wildlife habitat; recreational activities and experiences; and impacts to wildlife, fisheries, watershed values, timber, and oil and gas resources. The analysis assumptions are that (1) drilling activity within the forests would continue at the conservative levels of 1986 to 1990, and would constitute 3 percent of the regional activity; (2) some 47 wells would be drilled throughout the forest over the next 15 years; (3) only seven wells would be drilled on new leases; (4) a typical well would disturb about 10.7 acres; and (5) the total projected disturbance would be 503 acres. Five alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 2), 49,450 acres of legally available land in the analysis area (within the Kannah Creek, Tabeguache, and Roubideau roadless areas) would be unavailable for oil and gas leasing. The Battlement Mesa roadless area and parts of the Priest Mountain and West Elk roadless areas would be leased with no-surface-occupancy stipulations, as would slopes over 60 percent, floodplains, wildlife habitats, visual resource management areas, recreational and administrative sites, and sensitive areas, which together total 230,750 acres. Approximately 700,000 acres would be available under controlled surface use and timing limitations. About 207,200 acres would be available under standard lease terms. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The mitigation measures outlined in the lease terms would minimize or avoid most long- and short-term impacts. Increased access could aid in range management activities. Lease activities could generate an average of ten more jobs for three months. Drilling on new leases would generate additional state and county revenues. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Exploration and production activities could cause localized soil degradation, sedimentation, and temporary loss of wildlife habitat and increases in airborne particulates. Accidental spills could occur. Surface disturbances would remove range and livestock forage, and could result in a temporary reduction of permitted livestock. The development of oil and gas wells could cause significant effects to the water quality and aquatic habitat in riparian areas.

AN - 36396412; 3696 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a resource management plan for 419,400 acres of federal land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in its Klamath Falls District, located in Douglas County, Oregon, is proposed. The district lies in the western foothills of the Cascade Range, the Oregon Coast Range, and the Klamath Mountains, in the western portion of the state. The land is predominantly forested with stands of Douglas-fir mixed conifer, and drains into the Umpqua River or a number of different coastal rivers. The plan would establish guidelines for management of this land for approximately ten years and would supersede four management framework plans for this land completed in 1983. Issues of concern include timber production practices; maintenance of old-growth forests and habitat diversity; threatened and endangered species habitat; special management areas; visual resources; water quality protection; recreation resources, including wild and scenic rivers; land tenure; and rural interface areas. Of particular interest is the issue of whether or not to harvest the remaining old-growth forests, and the likely effects of harvesting on biological diversity and the northern spotted owl, a threatened species. Seven alternative plans have been developed, including a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would provide for a planned annual timber sale of 16.3 million cubic feet (105 million board feet) while maintaining water quality in all watersheds. In addition, the preferred alternative would maintain long-term soil productivity; retain 91,700 acres of old-growth forestland; protect all known spotted owl and bald eagle nesting sites; designate three new areas of critical environmental concern on 1,691 acres; develop 18 new recreation sites on 285 acres, one new special recreation management area on 1,540 acres, and seven new trails with a combined length of ten miles; provide for oil/gas and geothermal leasing on 421,062 acres; and prohibit clear-cutting, herbicide spraying, and prescribed burning on 8,552 acres. Approximately 215 miles of new roads would be constructed on 1,173 acres in order to support timber harvest activities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide a moderate sustained yield of forest products to contribute community stability consistent with other resource values. Wildlife habitat, soil productivity, recreational opportunities, and visual resources would improve. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The restrictions on timber harvesting under the preferred alternative would result in a decline in timber production, which would adversely affect all sectors of the area economy, particularly the lumber and wood products industry. The proposed timber management program is expected to support 540 jobs, approximately 1,020 jobs less than the average supported in the 1984-88 baseline period. Mill closures, decreasing employment, and migration from timber-dependent communities would result. The employment losses would likely affect local demand for social services. The water quality in six watersheds would probably decline as a result of increased sedimentation. Air quality would be degraded by the prescribed burning each year of approximately 80,100 tons of slash. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

AN - 36413522; 3695 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a resource management plan for 866,300 acres of federal land and 4,700 acres of reserved mineral estate administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in its Medford District in southwestern Oregon is proposed. The district is located in Douglas, Jackson, and Josephine counties and includes portions of the Cascade and Siskiyou mountain ranges. The lands are predominantly forested with Douglas-fir stands and other conifer stands, and drain into the Rogue, Klamath, and Umpqua river basins. The plan would establish guidelines for management of these lands for approximately ten years and would supersede the management framework plans for these lands. Issues of concern include timber production practices, maintenance of old-growth forests and habitat diversity, threatened and endangered (and other special-status) species habitat, special management areas, visual resources, watershed management, water quality protection, recreation opportunities, wild and scenic rivers, and land tenure. Of particular interest is the issue of whether or not to harvest the remaining old-growth forests, and the likely effects of harvesting on biological diversity and the northern spotted owl, a threatened species. Seven alternative plans have been developed, including a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would provide for a planned annual timber sale of 18.1 million cubic feet on a sustained-yield basis while maintaining water quality in all watersheds and long-term biological diversity. In addition, the preferred alternative would maintain long-term soil productivity; retain 128,700 acres of old-growth forestlands; protect all known spotted owl and bald eagle nesting sites; designate 22 new areas of critical environmental concern on 13,600 acres; designate five river segments with a combined length of 20 miles as wild and scenic rivers; develop 31 new recreation sites on 900 acres, two special recreation management areas on 13,000 acres, and 16 new trails with a combined length of 160 miles; and provide for oil/gas and geothermal leasing on 772,200 acres. Some 44 miles of new roads would be constructed on 220 acres. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide a moderate sustained yield of forest products to contribute community stability consistent with other resource values. Wildlife habitat would improve, as would visual resources and recreational opportunities. Old-growth forest area would increase by approximately 4,000 acres (4 percent). NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The restrictions on timber harvesting under the preferred alternative would result in a decline in timber production of 20.5 percent compared with the 1984-88 baseline, adversely affecting all sectors of the area economy, particularly the lumber and wood products industry. Mill closures, decreasing employment, and migration from timber-dependent communities would result. The employment losses would likely affect local demand for social services. The water quality in 11 watersheds would probably decline as a result of increased sedimentation. Air quality would be degraded by the prescribed burning each year of approximately 41,000 tons of slash. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

AN - 36406750; 3694 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a resource management plan for 329,583 acres of federal land and 12,152 acres of reserved mineral estate administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in its Coos Bay District in Oregon is proposed. The district is located on the western slopes of the Oregon Coast Range in Coos, Curry, and Douglas counties. The lands are predominantly forested with stands of Douglas-fir, and drain into a number of different coastal rivers. The plan would establish guidelines for management of these lands for approximately ten years and would supersede the management framework plan for these lands and an amendment to that plan, which were completed in 1983 and 1984, respectively. Issues of concern include timber production practices, maintenance of old-growth forests and habitat diversity, threatened and endangered species habitat, special management areas, watershed management, water quality protection, recreation opportunities, and land tenure and access. Of particular interest is the issue of whether or not to harvest the remaining old-growth forests, and the likely effects of harvesting on biological diversity and the northern spotted owl, a threatened species. Seven alternative plans have been developed, including a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would (1) provide for a planned annual timber sale of 20.1 million cubic feet (124 million board feet) from 309,000 acres of commercial forestlands; (2) maintain water quality and long-term soil productivity; (3) retain 52,400 acres of old-growth forestlands; (4) provide habitat to support a carrying capacity of 16 to 24 pairs of northern spotted owls and provide for the protection of other federally listed animal species; (5) designate eight new areas of critical environmental concern on 7,490 acres; (6) provide opportunities to develop 27 recreational areas, sites, and trails; (7) provide for visual resource management on 7,200 acres; and (8) provide for mineral exploration and development on 322,200 acres. Approximately 100 acres would be affected by the construction of 18.6 miles of new roads. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide a moderate sustained yield of forest products to contribute community stability consistent with other resource values. Wildlife habitat would improve. Timber management under the preferred alternative would increase the amount of old growth to 56,300 acres and the carrying capacity for the northern spotted owl to between 41 and 58 pairs, which would contribute to the long-term recovery of this species. Regional and subregional connectivity would be provided through the management of old-growth-emphasis and connectivity areas where special-status animals and plants cluster. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Restrictions on timber harvesting under the preferred alternative would result in a decline in timber production, which would adversely affect all sectors of the area economy, particularly the lumber and wood products industry. Mill closures, decreasing employment, and migration from timber-dependent communities would result. Employment losses would likely affect local demand for social services. The water quality in two watersheds would probably decline as a result of increased sedimentation. Air quality would be degraded by the prescribed burning each year of approximately 42,500 tons of debris and timber.

AN - 36409259; 3756 AB - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of a dam and reservoir on Elk Creek in Douglas County, Oregon, is proposed. The project would provide regulated flows of water for irrigation and for consumptive uses in the cities of Drain and Yoncalla and the community of Rice Hill. The preferred project, known as the Milltown Hill Project, would be located at river mile 39.4 on Elk Creek, which is a portion of the Umpqua River drainage. The project would consist of a 186-foot-high dam that would create a 24,143-acre-foot reservoir on Elk Creek. A portion of the stored water would be released directly into Elk Creek to enhance water quality and anadromous fish habitat and to meet the out-of-stream needs of municipal, industrial, and agricultural users. The remainder of the stored water would be released into a pipeline distribution system to improve municipal, industrial, and irrigation water supplies to Scotts Valley and Yoncalla Valley, and to provide an additional water supply for rural domestic use in these areas. Allocations for municipal and industrial development, for irrigation releases, and for anadromous fish and water temperature control would be 937 acre-feet, 9,654 acre-feet, and 7,737 acre-feet, respectively. Ancillary project facilities would include a microwave tower for remote operation of the reservoir, recreational facilities, and an 19.6-mile pipeline water distribution system. The pipeline system would allow a full supply of irrigation water for 2,601 acres in Yoncalla Valley and Scotts Valley. An additional 1,163 acres along Elk Creek also would receive a full supply of irrigation water by direct pumping from Elk Creek. Additionally, 897 acres would receive a supplemental irrigation water supply via the pipeline or direct pumping. Other project activities would include the relocation of four miles of road, the construction of a new one-mile road to the base of the dam, the relocation of utilities, and the construction of drainage facilities on project lands as needed. Mitigation measures for impacts to general wildlife, endangered species, wetlands, transportation systems, and cultural resources would be implemented as necessary. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing irrigation water for 4,661 acres of arable land, and water for municipal uses, the dam and reservoir project would (1) provide opportunities to improve fish and wildlife habitat, including the opportunity to secure 767 additional acres of habitat for the endangered Columbian white-tailed deer as a mitigation measure; (2) improve downstream water quality; and (3) provide new water-related recreational opportunities. The project would also provide limited flood control in and near the city of Drain. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The reservoir would inundate 681 acres of land and 4.5 miles of Elk Creek at the normal full-pool elevation of 775 feet above mean sea level. Two miles of tributaries feeding Elk Creek would also be inundated. Among the lands inundated would be agricultural lands and forest and wetland habitat, including habitat for the Columbian white-tailed deer.

AN - 36411432; 3720 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of 4.4 miles of US 2 in Flathead County, Montana, is proposed. The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) proposes to widen the existing route from Columbia Heights, a suburb of Columbia Falls, to Hungry Horse. The proposed action would include the replacement of a bridge over the South Fork of the Flathead River, which is necessary because the existing facility is worn out and warrants traffic safety and capacity improvements. Three alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The MDT preferred alternative would involve a four-lane design to replace the 24-foot-wide, two-lane facility; the design would include a continuous-median/left-turn lane from the project's beginning to Berne Road, where a new river access and historic exhibit area are proposed. An undivided four-lane road is proposed for the Berne Road-to-Hungry Horse section of the corridor. As mitigation for impacts to Berne Memorial Park, MDT would develop the new access on the Flathead River and enhance recreational opportunities in the region. POSITIVE IMPACTS: All build alternatives would provide operational and safety improvements over the existing facility, including a reduction in accident rates. The preferred alternative would provide for (1) a wider shoulder lane, which would improve bicycle facilities in the corridor; (2) sidewalks, which would facilitate pedestrian movement; and (3) the control of future land uses and protection of visual resources in Badrock Canyon through the acquisition of private lands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: All build alternatives would impact the Flathead River and riparian areas in Badrock Canyon by clearing right-of-way and placing fill in the river. Bald eagles could be affected by the removal of vegetation that is occasionally used for perching and roosting sites along the river. Some farmland would be converted for right-of-way. Some features of Berne Memorial Park and the use of its facilities would be affected by any of the build alternatives. The right-of-way acquisition would displace several households and businesses along the corridor, and some portions of yards and parking areas would be lost. Additional development along the corridor could be stimulated by highway reconstruction and improved access. Visual resources in Badrock Canyon would be adversely affected by the removal of trees and excavation of rock cliffs.

Preparation date: July 24, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BROADWELL BASIN RESIDUALS REPOSITORY (SPECIFIED HAZARDOUS WASTE FACILITY), SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36409102; 3745 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a permit for development of an above-ground, Class I hazardous waste facility on Broadwell Dry Lake in San Bernardino County, California, is proposed. The site is approximately eight miles north of Interstate 40 and the community of Ludlow. The proposed facility, to be constructed and operated by the project applicant, the Broadwell Corporation, would consist of a treatment facility and a residuals repository, which is a landfill developed to dispose of the end products or residuals remaining after treatment of hazardous wastes. The wastes acceptable at the repository would include sludge wastes, contaminated soils, and other miscellaneous wastes such as asbestos, metal dust, and baghouse wastes. Liquid wastes, radioactive wastes, medical or biological wastes, Class A explosive wastes, and PCD wastes would not be accepted. The treatment would consist of a stabilization process to minimize the leaching potential of metals and an organic soil treatment process to remove contaminants from the soil. The proposed facility would consist of approximately 316 acres of above-ground disposal area and support facilities on Broadwell Dry Lake, where the naturally occurring clay deposits are 150 feet deep and groundwater is approximately 80 feet below the surface. Support facilities would include a laboratory, a maintenance facility, and treatment structures on an adjacent alluvial fan, and 590 acres of borrow area. Approximately 8.5 miles of paved road would be constructed from Ludlow to the proposed site. The mound created in the disposal area would eventually rise 130 feet from the playa surface. The project would be sited within the 100-year floodplain boundaries. Flood protection would be provided by a surrounding earth berm, which would be 35 feet high and 230 feet wide. All incoming waste would be transported to the project area by 80 to 200 registered haulers per day. The quantity of incoming waste is projected to be 2,000 tons per day, half of which could require on-site treatment. The proposed project would employ 100 construction workers at the peak of construction, and 35 to 45 workers once the facility was operational. In addition to the proposed action, six other alternatives are under consideration, including the No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed facility would help to correct a chronic deficiency in hazardous waste storage and treatment capacity within San Bernardino County, and Southern California as a whole. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would have significant impacts on air quality, on-site visual quality, and wilderness study areas (WSAs), effects that would remain significant even after mitigation measures were implemented. Fugitive dust emissions from the site would violate state and federal standards. Air toxics, including benzene, toluene, and xylene, emitted from the disposal cells would pose health risks to workers. The repository at its maximum height and the borrow area would both be highly visible and would detract from the scenic value of the area. Approximately 128 acres of private land and 18 acres of public land in the Sleeping Beauty Mountains WSA would be disturbed by the project. In addition, a 320-acre section in this WSA would be cut off by the proposed relocation of Crucero Road above the 100-year flood levels.

AN - 36409090; 3708 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an extension of the Blue Ridge Parkway along the Roanoke River, and of a regional visitor center to orient travelers using the parkway, in the Roanoke, Virginia, region is proposed. The highway segment would consist of a 1.5-mile spur road from the Blue Ridge Parkway to the proposed Virginia's Explore Park, an education-oriented state park. Less than 1 percent of the park road corridor would cross the 100-year floodplain of a small unnamed tributary of the Roanoke River. To allow for the protection of natural and cultural resources and scenic views along the park road, as well as the potential development of recreation facilities, a park road protection area would be established that would create a setting similar to that along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The area would encompass approximately 200 acres, including 33 acres of private land. Acquisition costs would be about $350,000. Park road construction costs would be approximately $9.5 million, and annual operation costs about $69,000. Three other action alternatives for building a proposed Roanoke River Parkway, each involving longer segments of roadway, are also considered in this final EIS, along with the No Action Alternative. In addition, five alternative sites for a visitor center are considered. The proposed site for the visitor center is on the north side of the Roanoke River. Construction of the visitor center would cost $7.5 million; annual operating costs would be about $23,000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Needed access to Virginia's Explore Park would be provided by the spur road, and information concerning the Blue Ridge Parkway and surrounding region would be available at the visitor center. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementing the proposed action would affect approximately 0.15 acres of wetlands. Regionally important habitat would be preserved under federal ownership, but animal losses would be proportional to the habitat displaced by construction. Land acquisition would affect one private residence and one commercial site. Traffic on the spur road and the Blue Ridge Parkway would approach unstable flow conditions during peak hours, with all of the traffic on the spur road resulting from visits to Virginia's Explore Park.

AN - 36407063; 3724 AB - PURPOSE: Improvements to a ten-mile section of US 421 in Watauga County, North Carolina, are proposed. The roadway section extends from just west of the South Fork New River, east of the town of Boone, to SR 1361, east of the town of Deep Gap. The existing two-lane roadway is characterized by steep grades, sharp curves, and narrow pavement. US 421 is the main highway link between the Piedmont and northwest North Carolina, linking the towns of Winston-Salem, Yadkinville, Wilkesboro, North Wilkesboro, and Boone. A four-lane US 421 would safely and effectively connect the northwest part of the state with Interstate 77, Interstate 40, and US 52. In addition to the Transportation Systems Management Alternative, the Mass Transit Alternative, the Improve Existing Corridor Alternative, and the No Build Alternative, three build alternatives are under consideration; each would rely mainly on new roadway locations within corridors roughly parallel to the existing US 421. Alternatives A and C generally follow a more northerly route in relation to the existing US 421, while Alternative B is located just to the south of US 421 for roughly half of its proposed length. Under each alternative, the existing US 421 would continue to function as a local collector. All three alternatives would cross the Blue Ridge Parkway at the same point near Deep Gap. Seven crossing alternatives are under consideration; the preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would involve the removal of the existing stone facade arch bridge and the construction of two similar bridges. Four lanes of US 421 would pass under the parkway, and access between the two roadways would be provided. Access control would be partial, consisting of at-grade intersections with designated local roads and permit access from private driveways. The estimated total costs of the build alternatives range from $58.9 million to $59.2 million; the estimated cost of the preferred parkway crossing is $3.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would remove through traffic from an operationally deficient roadway and thereby improve traffic safety conditions and intrastate east-west travel. The proposed improvements were included in the state's 1978-84 Highway Improvement Program. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Right-of-way requirements would displace up to 57 residents, 14 businesses, 2 nonprofit organizations, 98.2 acres of prime farmland, 184.1 acres of pasture or fields, 142.3 acres of forest, and 5 acres of wetlands. In addition, the build alternatives would disturb up to 40 graves, 3 archaeological sites, and 1 historic site eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Increases in noise levels would affect up to 51 sites.

Preparation date: July 23, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GRAND CANYON RAILWAY, INC., PASSENGER SERVICE, GRAND CANYON AIRPORT TO MASWIK TRANSPORTATION AREA, GRAND CANYON VILLAGE, GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, ARIZONA. AN - 36396720; 3711 AB - PURPOSE: The initiation of passenger rail service from Grand Canyon Airport, Tusayan, Arizona, to the Maswik Transportation Area in Grand Canyon Village, Grand Canyon National Park, is proposed. The service would be publicly available, for a fee, to visitors arriving by airplane, automobile, or bus. The key issues addressed in this draft EIS include traffic congestion in Grand Canyon Village; compatibility with the existing transportation system; and impacts on the natural environment, cultural resources, visual resources, other multiple land uses, socioeconomic concerns, and energy use. Five action alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered. The proposed alternative would require the construction of 5.4 miles of new railway line in Kaibab National Forest, of which 1.1 miles would be constructed on the site of an old rail line. All of the rail line within the national park would be existing line. The only wash crossing would be Rain Tank Wash, which is on airport property. The track corridor would average approximately 60 feet in width. The proposed alternative would require a 50,000-gallon tank for fuel oil storage, a 250,000-gallon tank for locomotive water storage, and a 100,000-gallon tank for potable water storage. A fuel tank loading stage and a wastewater and sewage dumping station would be constructed between the airport and the highway, but outside of the scenic corridor. Two depots would be built on-site, one to accommodate air passengers and another near Highway 64. Each depot would be approximately 7,000 square feet in size and would contain a ticket sales booth, a waiting area, restrooms, gift shops, a restaurant, and exhibits. The parking area, to be located in Kaibab National Forest, would be a maximum of 75 acres in size and could accommodate up to 10,000 vehicles. The lot would be developed in phases on an as-needed basis, but would be designed in advance to conserve visually important landscape elements. A maximum of eight train trips per day would be run between the airport and Maswik. Interpretive activities and visitor orientation to the park and the national forest would be an integral part of the train experience. The proposed alternative would potentially transport up to one million visitors to the park annually and displace a substantial number of automobiles from the village area. A potential reduction of up to 33 percent of the annual number of automobiles arriving at the South Park Entrance could be achieved. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed alternative, automobile congestion would be significantly decreased and air quality in the area would be improved. For each 10,000 airline passengers and each 10,000 automobile passengers who parked at the airport and rode the train, an estimated 3.77 and 3.74 jobs, respectively, would be created and $116,100 and $117,800 in total income, respectively, would be generated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the proposed alternative could lead to the loss of two Forest Service sensitive plant species, as well as general vegetation clearing on a maximum of 115 acres. Sound levels at the park would be substantially increased during whistle soundings (approximately one minute per train) and moderately increased during train operation within the village area (approximately 88 minutes per day).

AN - 36408873; 3671 AB - PURPOSE: Amendment of the Spokane District Resource Management Plan of May 1987 is addressed for 328,000 acres of federally administered land and 1.15 million acres of federal mineral estate scattered throughout all counties in Washington State east of the Cascades. Two alternatives are under consideration. Alternative 1, which would continue the existing management plan instituted in 1987, would constitute the least restrictive plan for oil and gas leasing. Approximately 1.11 million acres of public lands and subsurface mineral estate would be open to leasing. The 12 currently designated areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs) would continue to be managed to preclude land uses that could damage special resource values. No additional ACECs would be designated. Off-road-vehicle (ORV) designations would remain as described in the 1987 plan; all 23,400 acres of land acquired since completion of the 1987 plan would remain open to ORV use. Alternative 2 would require the revision of guidelines for fluid mineral leasing and development, as well as additional leasing stipulations to protect other resources and values. Under Alternative 2, ACEC designations for Webber Canyon and Roosevelt Slope would be revoked or rescinded. The five areas proposed for ACEC designation under this alternative would be Coal Creek, Keystone Point, Cowiche Canyon, Little Vulcan Mountain, and Yakima River Canyon. Coal Creek and Keystone Point would be designated because they contain habitat for federally listed sensitive plant species. Cowiche Canyon would be designated for its unique botanical and recreational values. Little Vulcan Mountain would be designated because it provides habitat for a federally listed sensitive animal species. The Yakima River Canyon would be designated for its recreational, botanical, wildlife, and scenic values. Under Alternative 2, most ORV designations made in the 1987 plan would not be changed. Only those areas where new information indicates that additional restrictions are necessary to protect resource values would be designated for restricted ORV access. Specific ORV designation changes would include limitation of ORVs to designated roads and trails on 5,700 acres within the Yakima River Canyon area, 18,000 acres in the Upper Crab Creek management area, and 4,260 acres within the Okanogan management area north of the Similkameen River. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Either plan would provide a framework for managing solid and fluid mineral resources, geothermal resources, ACECs, and ORV access. The amended plan (Alternative 2) would protect more lands from mineral resources development and ORV-use damages. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Economically viable mineral development and motorized recreational access would be reduced under Alternative 2. Regardless of the alternative chosen, mineral development activities and ORV use would continue to result in some land disturbance.

AN - 36406668; 3673 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed for the 31,500-acre East Fork Blacks Fork drainage in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah. The analysis area occupies the eastern one-fourth of the Evanston Ranger District, and encompasses 31,500 acres. The area is defined by the district boundary to the east, the Wyoming/Utah state boundary to the north, the High Uintas Wilderness boundary to the south, and the dividing crest line between the Middle Fork and West Fork Blacks Fork drainages to the west. Approximately 13,000 acres of oil and gas leases have been applied for in the East Fork and Middle Fork Blacks Fork drainages. Vegetation manipulations for the area would include habitat improvement projects for elk and deer transition ranges, timber harvesting, insect and disease control projects, and scenic corridor management along the East Fork Blacks Fork Road. Internal and public concerns have indicated the need for decisions on the transportation system for and management of the East Fork Blacks Fork Sheep Driveway. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, for management of the analysis area are evaluated in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative F) would result in silvicultural treatment on 1,073 acres to generate 2,030 million board feet (MMBF) of sawtimber, 1,745 MMBF of poles, and 259 cords; the designation of 5,120 of 21,435 acres, as available, for oil and gas leasing; the construction of temporary roadway and reconstruction of existing roadway to provide access to timber-harvesting activities and to oil and gas lease tracts; an increase in the area available for use by snowmobiles from 18,900 acres to 21,100 acres; the designation of 34 miles of trail for use by licensed off-road-vehicle owners and 5 miles of trail for use by unlicensed users; and the construction of 5.25 miles of wire fence and 1 mile of buck and pole fence. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Any action alternative would improve the scenic quality along the East Fork Blacks Fork Road. Each year, the preferred alternative would generate $29,026 in county revenues and $32,152 in state and federal revenues. Habitat diversity would increase significantly, and transition range for big game would improve. Silvicultural treatments would contribute to the local economy and the sustained yield goals in the overall national forest plan. Hunting opportunities in the area would increase. Riparian habitat currently judged to be in an unsatisfactory state would improve significantly over 10 to 20 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: All alternatives, except the No Action Alternative, would result in a decrease in the vertical diversity of forest vegetation over time. Substantial increases in trucking costs could force some ranchers out of business. Livestock trailing and/or trucking could affect the recreational experience in the area, and fences could degrade the appearance of the area. The extent of unroaded area could decrease from 14,500 to 11,775 acres. LEGAL MANDATES: National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

AN - 36413489; 3666 AB - PURPOSE: Leasing of approximately 565,800 acres of land administered by the Routt National Forest in northwestern Colorado for oil and gas exploration is proposed. The forest covers 1,126,346 acres in parts of Moffat, Routt, Jackson, Grand, Rio Blanco, and Garfield counties. The analysis area has 69 existing leases, of which 66 are expected to expire within the next 15 years because they are inactive. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative continuing current leasing management, are proposed. The two preferred alternatives (Alternatives 3 and 4) would authorize oil and gas leasing on available lands using the standard lease terms or supplemental stipulations; one of these alternatives (Alternative 4) would restrict leasing to available lands which do not meet criteria for being roadless. Approximately 392,000 acres, or 72 percent of the analysis area, can be classified as roadless acreage. Implementation of either preferred alternative would require a forest plan amendment to make the authorization decision; the current forest plan makes most acreage in the roadless areas available for leasing. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternatives would have few adverse long-term environmental or economic impacts, compared with the current management practice, if mitigation practices were followed and supplemental stipulations were placed on lease development. If the alternative excluding access to roadless areas were adopted, any environmental impacts would be greatly reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Land disturbed by well drilling and access road construction would total 115.5 to 411 acres, depending on the alternative selected. With well development, there would be the possibility of sedimentation, spills of toxics and oil, and leakage to streams and watersheds. Stream crossings by access roads could affect fisheries by creating migration barriers or by removing obstructions that are functional barriers. Increased access to an area occupied by Colorado River cutthroat trout could also increase fishing pressure or the likelihood of the introduction of unwanted nonnative fish to the stream system. Visual resources would be degraded under any lease development alternative. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Onshore Oil and Gas Leasing Reform Act of 1987.

AN - 36413230; 3758 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a management plan for the Hanford Reach of the Columbia River in the southeastern portion of Washington State is proposed. The Hanford Reach is the last free-flowing stretch of the Columbia River in the U.S.; the Hanford Reach Study was begun in 1988 in response to public concern about a proposal to dredge portions of the segment to allow barge navigation through the Hanford Reach. The study area extends from one mile below Priest Rapids Dam (river mile 396) downstream approximately 51 miles to the McNary Pool north of Richland (river mile 345). Issues identified during scoping include (1) impacts of river development on the fall chinook salmon and its spawning and rearing habitat, and on over 100 archaeological and historic sites found within the study area; (2) the future of the B reactor and other defunct reactors at the Hanford site, and their effects on water quality; (3) conservation of wildlife habitat integrity and diversity; and (4) Indian access to the Hanford Reach. The proposed plan would combine a Wild and Scenic River designation for the river and its immediate corridor with a National Wildlife Refuge designation for upland areas north and east of the river. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the Department of Energy (DOE) would co-manage the area. The DOE would be responsible for radioactive cleanup of the Hanford site, cultural resource management, and some patrol functions, while the FWS would be responsible for all other management duties. Some recreational opportunities would be expanded. Damming and major dredging would be prohibited. In addition to a No Action Alternative, three other alternatives are under consideration. One would not seek any special designation for the area, but would instead promote legislation that would permanently preclude the damming and dredging of the Hanford Reach. Another would designate the area as a National Conservation Area, while a third would designate the Columbia River as a National River. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed plan would ensure that aquatic conditions necessary for fall chinook salmon and other important species were present. The restoration and protection of terrestrial habitat would stabilize wildlife populations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Grazing would be prohibited on 24,000 acres of public lands primarily as a means of protecting water quality; the restriction would impact area farmers. The Hanford site cleanup would increase sediments in the river, while upland agricultural development would result in fertilizer and pesticide runoff. LEGAL MANDATES: Public Law 100-605.

AN - 36404572; 3567 AB - PURPOSE: Development of a methane gas project on public and private lands within the Hanna Basin, approximately seven miles north of the town of Hanna in Carbon County, Wyoming, is proposed. The proposed project is in conformance with the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Great Divide Resource Area Resource Management Plan, the Wyoming Land Use Plan, and the Carbon County Land Use Inventory. The project, as proposed by MetFuel Wyoming, Inc., would involve exploring for and developing methane gas reserves present in coalbeds at depths of approximately 4,500 feet in the Hanna Formation. The project area encompasses approximately 28,044 acres; of that total, 17,329 are privately owned, 10,054 are federally owned, and 661 are owned by the state. The proposed project would involve drilling and development of a maximum of 130 coalbed methane wells on a 160-acre spacing within the project area. Gas from the project would be transported to market through existing interstate pipelines southeast of the project area. Full field development would require several years, with approximately 50 wells being drilled in 1992 and the remainder in 1993. It would take approximately 13 days to drill each well, followed by approximately 62 to 92 days for completion and production testing. Up to five wells could be drilled simultaneously, and each drill rig would be operated on a 24-hour basis, which would require three crews of six to seven people. Production operations would require approximately 17 to 29 people for the life of the project, which is expected to be 30 years. When gas reserves had been depleted, wells would be plugged and abandoned, utilizing procedures designed to protect subsurface aquifers. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of the proposed project would help lessen U.S. dependence on foreign energy sources, promote the use of a relatively clean fuel, increase tax revenues at all levels of government, stimulate the local economy, and increase groundwater availability. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would initially disturb approximately 1,018 acres: 279 acres would be affected by pipelines, 111 acres by well pads, 480 acres by roads, 130 acres by power lines, and 18 acres by compressor stations. Impacts to soils, vegetation, ground and surface water, air quality, noise, and wildlife would occur, though effects would be mitigated somewhat by the reclamation of approximately 588 acres following the completion of the initial stages of development. Contamination of shallow subsurface aquifers could also occur.

AN - 36413069; 3582 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for the Reservoir Area Management Plan for Lake Berryessa in Napa County, California, is proposed. Lake Berryessa has a total storage capacity of 1.6 million acre-feet and a surface area of 19,250 acres; it is 23 miles long and three miles wide at its widest point. Approximately 28,916 acres of federally owned and/or managed land surround the lake. Lake Berryessa is part of the Solano Project, which is designed to provide flood control and to supply water for irrigation and municipal and industrial uses. In 1958, Napa County entered into a management agreement to administer the development of federally owned lands at Lake Berryessa. Under concession agreements with Napa County, seven resorts were developed on 1,700 acres of land and water. Currently, the Bureau of Reclamation is responsible for the overall administration and management of the lake, including the seven privately operated resorts located on federal lands. The purpose of this document is to address the impacts of several land management, water surface management, and concession management actions. The planning precepts address resource protection, public access, the improvement of short-term uses, continued long-term uses, flood-proofing, water quality protection, the maintenance of visual resources, the encouragement of water-oriented outdoor recreational uses, the improvement of enforcement capabilities, the expansion of visitor information services, and the periodic review of the reservoir area management plan. The planning team authorized to develop the programmatic approach to lake management formulated a list of 41 preferred actions and 73 alternative actions. The preferred actions fall into the following broad categories: (1) land management, uses, and facilities; (2) water surface management and uses; (3) compliance management; (4) concessions management prior to resort reorganization; and (5) concessions management associated with resort reorganization. The planning period would extend to the year 2009, by which time all existing concession agreements for privately developed resort areas will have expired. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Management plan implementation would provide for controlled development of the lands surrounding the lake, thereby protecting the water resources and recreational uses of the lake. The general socioeconomic status of the local area would improve, as would health and safety and law enforcement capabilities within the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Additional development could result in moderate to major damage to soils, topography, and scenic resources. Resort development could have a moderately negative impact on water quality and fish habitat. Possible establishment of a fish and wildlife management area could result in a decrease in livestock grazing opportunities. Some recreational opportunities would diminish as a result of various regulatory restrictions and efforts to return selected areas to semiprimitive conditions.

AN - 36410397; 3562 AB - PURPOSE: Development of a methane gas project on public and private lands within the Emma Park area of Carbon County, Utah, is proposed. The project area is located approximately ten miles northeast of Helper, Utah. The area consists of 21,450 acres; of that total, 18,372 acres are privately owned, 2,240 acres are owned by the state, and 840 acres are federally owned, although mineral ownership throughout the area is largely under the control of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The project, as proposed by the Cockrell Oil Corporation, would involve exploring for and developing methane gas reserves present in coalbeds within the Blackhawk coal formation. Under the proposal, up to 124 new wells would be drilled and access roads to each well site would be constructed. Along the access roads, pipeline corridors would be constructed to carry gas pipelines from the wells, produced water from the wells, electrical lines to the well sites, and high-pressure gas from the compressor facility to each well. The high-pressure gas would be used to lift the produced water from the coal seams. Three central processing facilities would be constructed to provide both gas and water treatment capabilities. Gas would be treated to remove water and carbon dioxide, and would be compressed for delivery into a gas sales pipeline 13.8 miles long, which would connect with an existing interstate pipeline. The produced water would be treated so that most of it could be discharged to surface streams. Approximately 82 wells would be drilled in 1992 by a minimum of eight drilling rigs working simultaneously. The remaining 42 wells would be drilled in 1993, or when economically feasible. The peak construction work force would consist of 181 persons; up to 145 of those would be local hires. The operational work force would comprise 30 workers, and roughly half of those would be local hires. Approximately 25 million cubic feet per day of coalbed methane gas would be produced and sold. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of the proposed project would help lessen U.S. dependence on foreign energy sources, promote the use of a relatively clean fuel, increase local tax revenues, stimulate the local economy, and increase groundwater availability. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would disturb approximately 825 acres: 107 acres would be affected by pipelines, 446 acres by well pads, 235 acres by road/pipeline corridors, and 37 acres by the central processing facilities and substation. A substantial loss of vegetation would have long-term effects on the forage capabilities and critical habitats of elk, mule deer, sage grouse, and other species. Up to 30 percent of the disturbed habitat area would undergo reclamation, but the displacement effects on wildlife of human presence cannot be estimated. Construction traffic would involve up to 120 vehicle round trips per day.

AN - 36403998; 3604 AB - PURPOSE: Establishment of the 26,657-acre Cokeville Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Lincoln County, Wyoming, is proposed. The Fish and Wildlife Service would acquire the land in fee or on easement for management along the Bear River south of the town of Cokeville. Water rights and mineral rights would also be purchased; all purchases would be negotiated. No condemnation of land would occur. Besides the private lands involved, state lands and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands would be secured for management by the Fish and Wildlife Service. Approximately 1,048 acres of land within the proposed refuge boundaries would be those lands currently administered by the BLM. Some 20,436 acres would be purchased in fee interest, while 3,696 acres would be obtained via easements. An additional 2,525 acres proposed for purchase are currently administered by the state of Wyoming and the BLM. The management plan would cover wildlife populations, wildlife habitat, local agricultural lands, water resources, livestock grazing, mineral resources (including oil and natural gas), recreation and tourism, and local and community administration. Management of wetland and waterfowl species would be undertaken to reach the following annual production levels: 9,500 ducks, 4,000 geese, and 60 to 80 cranes. Water resources would be improved by replacement and/or renovation of the B-Q Dam and Pixley Dam and associated canals. Local area costs are estimated at $275,000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Refuge establishment under the preferred alternative would preserve and protect wetland and riparian habitat for migratory waterfowl and other migratory birds in the southwest corner of Wyoming. Habitat for resident big game, small game, furbearers, and upland game birds would also be protected. Public educational and interpretive resources would be enhanced. The plan would provide for an optimum level of management through a mix of management activities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The conversion of 2,300 acres of refuge lands from irrigated farmland to dense nesting cover would reduce the total cropland/hay land available to the local agricultural community. Public recreation uses, particularly off-road-vehicle use, would be curtailed.

Preparation date: June 15, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GRANT-KOHRS RANCH NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE, GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN AND DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT PLAN, POWELL COUNTY, MONTANA. AN - 36406556; 4104 AB - PURPOSE: The establishment of a management plan for the Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site in Powell County, Montana, is proposed. The ranch is located in the northern Rocky Mountains, 40 miles north of Butte and 80 miles southeast of Missoula. It occupies approximately 1,500 acres, including 69.5 acres owned by the city of Deer Lodge, 57.5 acres owned by the Union Pacific Railroad, 165.7 acres of scenic and rights-of-way easements, and 1,205.8 acres of fee ownership land. Although the historic site was established 20 years ago, it is only within the last few years that fee land acquisition within its boundaries has been nearly completed. The ranch is preserved as a historic site because it is one of the last remaining cattle ranches representative of the open-range cattle ranches that operated in the western U.S. from the 1860s to the early 1900s. Three alternatives for the ranch, including the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action emphasizes management of the site as a working ranch to be open to the public for day visits. Where feasible, the rehabilitation and adaptive use of historic structures would be given priority over new construction and the consolidation of administrative, maintenance, and curatorial storage functions on ranch land. The National Park Service (NPS) would pursue cooperative ventures to protect historic landscapes around the site, including donation or acquisition of 1,100 acres of private land in an expanded boundary to the west. The NPS would also seek to acquire some of the lands within the site that are owned by the Union Pacific Railroad in order to preserve a remnant of the shortgrass prairie native to the area. The 88 buildings and structures on the site would be rehabilitated and restored to the extent possible. Curatorial storage would require construction of a 10,000-square-foot facility on an 11-acre tract near the site's southern boundary. The first floor of the red barn would be rehabilitated and developed as a visitor center, which would include exhibits, audiovisuals, and other interpretive media to supplement the guided tours and demonstrations available at the site. Annual operating costs are estimated at $600,000; total development costs are estimated at $10.13 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The historic site would provide opportunities for visitors to understand the cattle industry, its evolution, and its role in the development of the American West. The proposed action would contribute $216,000 annually to the local economy and approximately $300,000 in additional tax revenue. Roughly 37 permanent jobs and 500 short-term jobs would be generated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Proposed construction would eliminate the direct flow of water to soil and thereby destroy four acres of vegetation; would cause soil compaction on four acres; and would destroy soil structure in about 3,000 cubic yards of soil. Increases in tourist visits would have adverse air quality and noise impacts. LEGAL MANDATES: Public Law 92-406, Public Law 95-625, and Public Law 96-607.

Preparation date: June 14, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTHWEST INTERTIE PROJECT (TRANSMISSION LINE), IDAHO, NEVADA, AND UTAH. AN - 36412621; 3559 AB - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of a 500-mile, single-circuit, 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission line from the Midpoint Substation near Shoshone, Idaho, to a proposed substation in the Dry Lake Valley northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, is proposed by the Idaho Power Company (IPCo). A crosstie route 130 to 200 miles long would also be constructed from Ely, Nevada, to a point near Delta, Utah. New substations would be required near Ely, Las Vegas, and Delta, and series compensation stations would be needed midway between the Midpoint Substation and Ely, and between Ely and Dry Lake. To operate the new system, new microwave communications facilities would be required on the route from the Midpoint Substation to Dry Lake. The proposed project, known as the Southwest Intertie Project, would be constructed using V-guyed (or other guyed) steel lattice or self-supporting steel lattice towers, steel-pole H-frame towers in agricultural areas, and self-supporting steel lattice towers at specific intervals for lateral support. The towers would be 120 to 130 feet high on the average. Three to five structures would built per mile, and the right-of-way would be 200 feet wide. If the crosstie project was approved, IPCo would transfer the right-of-way grant to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, which would construct and operate the facility. Four alternative routes have been selected for the crosstie project, and seven alternative routes have been selected for the main proposal. The IPCo project would commence commercial operation by late 1997; construction would begin in 1995. Approximately 150 construction personnel would be required. The estimated costs of the Midpoint-to-Dry Lake route range from $242 million to $254 million, depending on the alternative selected. The estimated costs of the crosstie project range from $66 million to $100 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of the proposed project would allow for power exchanges between the Pacific Northwest and the Southwest; increase the reliability and capacity of the entire transmission system in the West; increase utility wheeling capacity; furnish access to the economy energy market; provide access to long-term purchases and sales; and diversify fuel resources used to generate electrical power. The proposed crosstie route would also contribute to regional reliability and enhance the electrical grid, primarily by providing a bidirectional transfer path between the Pacific Northwest and the intermountain regions of the West. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would result in adverse, direct, and long-term visual impacts to residential concentrations and dispersed homes, scenic roads and highways, and recreational viewpoints, including some vantage points within Great Basin National Park. Wildlife would be affected by the removal of vegetation and the construction of transmission towers. The presence of the transmission towers would increase the potential for long-term predation of sage grouse by golden eagles and other predators. The Midpoint-to-Dry Lake alternative routes would cross approximately 52 miles of desert tortoise habitat, up to 32.8 miles of bald eagle nesting areas, and up to 32 acres of prime or unique farmland. Up to 68 historic sites, 510 prehistoric sites, and numerous other cultural resources occur within one mile of the various alternative routes. The crosstie alternative routes would cross up to 17.8 miles of bald eagle nesting areas.

AN - 36387857; 3566 AB - PURPOSE: Oil and gas leasing within the Thunder Basin National Grassland (TBNG) in northeastern Wyoming is proposed. The TBNG encompasses 1.8 million acres in the counties of Campbell, Converse, Crook, Niobrara, and Weston. All federal surface lands within the TBNG (572,224 acres) are administered by the Forest Service; the federal government owns the oil and gas mineral estate on most of these lands. In addition, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages 580,000 acres of federally owned oil and gas mineral rights on lands with private surface. The total federal oil and gas mineral estate within the TBNG is 1.1 million acres. In addition to the No Action Alternative, five action alternatives are under consideration. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 4), all unleased lands within the federal mineral estate would be authorized for leasing consistent with the approved Forest Plan, although land management decisions would ensure that recreational experiences would be protected or enhanced. All inventoried semiprimitive motorized areas, comprising approximately 22,240 acres, would be protected from oil and gas activities, as would two roaded natural areas with unique recreational value, which comprise 53,640 acres. A controlled-surface-use stipulation would apply to eight reservoirs with identified fishing potential; the same stipulation would apply to approximately 4,600 acres known to serve as winter relief range for deer. Between 10 and 20 new wells would be drilled each year. The 320-acre Walker Tipi Ring site would be protected by a no-surface-occupancy stipulation. Total federal costs of the preferred alternative are estimated at $2.37 million; the revenue-cost ratio is 32.7. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of the proposed project would help lessen U.S. dependence on foreign energy sources, increase local tax revenues, and stimulate the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would disturb up to 50 acres per year, or up to 750 acres throughout the 15-year planning period; this acreage represents roughly .12 percent of the federally owned surface on the TBNG. Localized deterioration of air quality would occur as a result of emissions from engines, vehicles, and machinery. The scenic value of the area would be affected by the presence of drill pads and drilling equipment. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Onshore Oil and Gas Leasing Reform Act of 1987 (P.L. 100-203).

Preparation date: June 9, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LOWER DESCHUTES RIVER MANAGEMENT PLAN, OREGON (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1991). AN - 36409955; 3647 AB - PURPOSE: Development of a comprehensive plan to guide the management of the land and water resources along the lower 100 miles of the Deschutes River Canyon in Oregon is proposed. In 1970, this section of the canyon, which extends from the Pelton Reregulating Dam to the confluence of the river with the Columbia River, was designated as a component of the Oregon State Scenic Waterway System. In 1988, the segment was designated as a National Wild and Scenic River, with a recreational classification. The river has been divided into four segments based on geographical features, public road access, and recreational use patterns. The 11 federal, state, tribal, and local management agencies involved in the management of the canyon have identified 15 major issues in the planning process. These issues fall into three categories, namely, protection and enhancement of natural and cultural resources, recreational activities, and public safety and services. Specific issues include those associated with fisheries and water quality and quantity, wildlife habitat and vegetation, historical and archaeological resources, motorized and nonmotorized boating, fishing, camping, guided and outfitted services, recreational access, recreational user fees, emergency services, law enforcement, trespassing, and information and education. This draft supplement to the draft environmental impact statement (EIS) of May 1991 examines alternatives for providing access to public lands upstream from the Deschutes Club locked gate on the Deschutes River access road south of Maupin. In February 1992 the Deschutes River Executive Review Board decided on a motorboat ban upstream from Sherass Falls that would take effect three years after completion of the management plan. As part of this decision, the board directed the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to pursue acquisition of legal access to public lands upstream from the locked gate during the fall, winter, and spring months. The preferred alternative would impose a year-round motorboat ban that would commence three years after finalization of the management plan but would permit motor vehicle access by up to 30 people per day. Hiking and mountain bike use would be allowed year-round. The BLM would be responsible for easement acquisition, maintenance and improvement of the roadway, and supervision of off-season access. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The motorboat ban would eliminate competition and conflict between motorboat operators and other user groups. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: A significant amount of BLM-managed public land is located on both sides of the river between the Deschutes Club locked gate and the current motorboat ""deadline'' at the Warm Springs Reservation boundary. With the end of the floating season in the fall and the proposed ban on motorboat use, this land would become less accessible to the public for day use during the offseason.

Preparation date: June 8, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - STATELINE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT, CLARK AND NYE COUNTIES, NEVADA. AN - 36408380; 3605 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for public lands within the Stateline Resource Area (SRA) of Clark and Nye counties, Nevada, is proposed. The SRA includes 3.67 million acres managed by BLM, 913,826 acres owned by other federal agencies, and 538,751 acres in private and state ownership, for a total area of 5.12 million acres. The SRA contains a variety of topographic features, including rugged mountain ranges, sloping bajadas, and broad valleys. The Colorado River and several of its tributaries flow through the eastern portions of the planning area. The preferred alternative would emphasize multiple-use land and resource retention, permit maximum flexibility in the disposal of public lands, and provide for the protection and recovery of the desert tortoise, which was declared a threatened species in 1990. Over three million acres of desert tortoise habitat occur within the SRA. The proposed plan would also provide management criteria and methods for vegetation and grazing, riparian zones, fish and wildlife, forest resources, wild horses and burros, cultural resources, recreation, wild and scenic rivers, fire control, and minerals (primarily sand and gravel). Approximately one million acres of public lands within the planning area would be designated as areas of critical environmental concern (ACEC), primarily as a method of protecting the desert tortoise from the effects of development. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to preserving large tracts of existing public lands, the plan would ensure that the dollar value of available exchange/sale lands would be more than adequate to facilitate the negotiation of identified acquisition lands. Acreage designated for ACEC status and mineral restrictions under the preferred alternative would increase significantly, enabling important habitats to be protected. Off-road-vehicle limitation zoning would also reflect the plan's commitment to protecting the desert environment. Some $45.9 million in tax revenues could be added as a result of land disposal under the plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Airborne particulates and carbon monoxide levels would increase in the Las Vegas nonattainment area under the preferred alternative at roughly the same rate as under the No Action Alternative. Some 716,953 tons of critical-condition and highly susceptible soils and 150,967 tons of saline soils would be lost per year due to livestock grazing, recreation, rights-of-way, and mineral management. Under the maximum-use scenario, livestock grazing would affect 1.9 million acres, while rights-of-way actions would affect roughly 1.75 million acres. Economic development within the Las Vegas Valley would deprive the desert tortoise of up to 67 percent of its habitat in this area by the year 2012. Throughout the entire planning area, up to 24 percent of tortoise habitat would be lost. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

AN - 36396074; 3587 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a master plan for the management of the Walnut Creek National Wildlife Refuge is proposed. The refuge is located near Prairie City in Jasper County, Iowa, approximately 20 miles east of Des Moines. The establishment of the 8,654-acre refuge was approved on September 5, 1990, in order to restore native tallgrass prairie, wetland, and woodland habitat for breeding and migratory waterfowl and resident wildlife; to provide environmental education and assistance to local landowners on habitat enhancement; and to provide recreational opportunities to the public. By restoring tallgrass prairie and savannah habitat, the preferred alternative would seek to emphasize the historical landscape of the region. Herds of bison and elk with a population ranging between 30 and 100 animals combined would be reintroduced to the northern half of the refuge, within large fenced areas of reconstructed tallgrass prairie. The refuge would contain state-of-the-art environmental education facilities, including an extensive system of outdoor classrooms and support facilities. Major facilities would include an administration building, an education building, a visitor center with a 1,000-square-foot research laboratory, and a tour route and trail system. These facilities would be located in the central portion of the refuge, on top of a ridge between two tributaries of Walnut Creek. It is estimated that approximately 200,000 persons would visit the refuge each year. Roughly half of the land within the refuge boundary was acquired by the Fish and Wildlife Service as of March 1992; the remainder would be purchased through a willing-seller program. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Refuge establishment under the preferred alternative would preserve and protect tallgrass prairie habitat and would have an overall positive effect on water quality, wetlands, and the 100-year floodplain as a result of the curtailment of agricultural practices causing erosion, sedimentation, and pesticide runoff. Habitat opportunities and species diversity would increase as a result of the conversion of farmland to refuge lands. The plan would provide for an optimum level of management through a mix of management activities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The conversion of farmland to refuge lands would result in a loss of agricultural production and a related loss in local income and employment. In addition, the conversion would result in a net annual property tax loss to Jasper County.

Preparation date: May 22, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BALTIC MINE PROJECT, KERN COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36413165; 3569 AB - PURPOSE: Issuance of a permit for the development of an open-pit gold and silver mine and heap leach recovery operation, to be known as the Baltic Mine Project, in the eastern portion of Kern County, California, is proposed. The project area consists of approximately 532 acres of patented land (fee land) and unpatented lode and placer mining claims on public lands. The site is located approximately 40 miles northeast of the town of Mojave, 25 miles south of the community of Ridgecrest, and 1.5 miles south of the town of Randsburg. The mine would be operated by the Rand Mining Company and would involve the development of two open pits and the creation of a waste rock storage area. Processing operations would include the construction and operation of heap leach and precious metals recovery facilities. The mining rate would be between 20,000 and 25,000 tons per day for five to six years. A total of approximately 15 million tons of ore and 9 million tons of waste would be mined. Other activities would include road construction; extension and relocation of a power line; closure of a portion of Butte Avenue, Randsburg Loop Road, Sunshine Mine Road, and Red Mountain Road; construction of an alternative route around the project facilities; construction of ditches for runoff and sediment control; concurrent reclamation; and miscellaneous fencing, as needed. Some ancillary facilities attached to the adjacent Yellow Aster Mine Project, also operated by the applicant, would be used in the proposed project. The project would employ approximately 60 persons. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The production of gold would boost the local, regional, and national economies and provide jobs to area residents. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project operations would disturb approximately 200 acres of land and permanently alter the topography of the area, resulting in a loss of 57 acres of vegetation with grazing potential. The habitats of the California desert tortoise and the Mohave ground squirrel, both endangered, would be disturbed. Use of explosives would generate noise in the vicinity of the project site. Fugitive dust emissions would degrade air quality. Project facilities would mar the visual aspect of the area, and land disturbances would result in some permanent changes in site aesthetics.

Preparation date: May 21, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - VOYAGEURS NATIONAL PARK, KOOCHICHING AND SAINT LOUIS COUNTIES, MINNESOTA AN - 36404137; 3589 AB - PURPOSE: Wilderness designations are considered for lands and waters within the Voyageurs National Park in Saint Louis and Koochiching counties, Minnesota. This document revises the draft EIS of July 1980 and the revised draft EIS of August 1991. Since the issuance of the draft EIS, all lands and waters were reevaluated for their wilderness suitability, and a total of 128,884 acres were determined to be suitable for further consideration. These areas, known as the study area, constitute 91.8 percent of the park's land area and 6.7 percent of its water area. Areas considered unsuitable for wilderness consideration include the four major lakes (Rainy, Kabetogama, Namakan, and Sand Point), plus Mukooda Lake, developed park areas, historic resources, Chippewa Indian lands, public access routes, snowmobile and vehicle portages, and miscellaneous areas that are too small to be managed as wilderness. Six alternatives were considered, ranging from not designating any areas as wilderness to designating all suitable areas as wilderness. The proposed action would recommend approximately 127,436 acres of the park's lands and waters for wilderness designation (98.9 percent of the study area). Areas recommended for wilderness would include the relatively pristine and rugged Kabetogama Peninsula, the southeastern portion of the park, most park islands, and 4,404 acres of interior lakes. Approximately 2,442 acres of land would be recommended as potential wilderness additions; these lands either are privately owned, are under use-and-occupancy agreements, or contain structures that would require removal or deterioration. Motorized uses would continue to be allowed on the major lake surfaces and on 15.7 miles of snowmobile portages. A 100-foot-wide nonwilderness corridor would be established on the Kabetogama Peninsula through the Chain of Lakes to provide for one-way snowmobile travel. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation would provide long-term legal protection of solitude, naturalness, and opportunities for primitive recreation on nearly all parklands. Backcountry users would continue to have opportunities for solitude, backpacking, and nature study, while other visitors would continue to have opportunities to reach areas in the park by motorboat or snowmobile. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The use of motorboats in the summer and snowmobiles in the winter within the park would adversely affect solitude along shorelines accessible to motorized use and near on-land snowmobile trails and portages. The potential for overfishing and for disturbing nesting loons would continue on all interior lakes, and this situation would be aggravated on the seven interior lakes open to motorized uses. As a result, fish and loon populations could be reduced. Recreational trail use could affect the park's population of threatened gray wolf. White-tailed deer would be displaced temporarily during periods of snowmobile use, but no long-term adverse effects would result.

Preparation date: May 21, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - KETTLE RIVER KEY PROJECT EXPANSION, FERRY COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36396165; 3573 AB - PURPOSE: Establishment of two open-pit gold mines to be operated by Echo Bay Minerals, Inc., in northern Ferry County, Washington, is proposed. The proposed site is located approximately 140 miles northwest of Spokane and 10 miles northeast of Republic. Roughly 86 percent of the project area is made up of patented and fee simple private lands; of the remainder, 13 acres are administered by the Forest Service and 2 acres by the Bureau of Land Management. The proposed project would involve open-pit mining of approximately 880,000 tons of ore containing about 115,000 ounces of gold reserves that would potentially be removed during the anticipated two- to three-year life of the mines. Ore would be processed in the currently operating Key Mill located approximately four miles southwest of the new site. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative A), both mines would be operated simultaneously. Vegetation would be cleared from both pit sites, and any merchantable timber would be sold; topsoil would be stripped to a depth of about 12 inches, taken to designated stockpile areas, and stored for use in site reclamation. Both pits would be roughly circular in shape with diameters of approximately 750 feet and maximum depths of approximately 310 to 320 feet. The eastern pit would cover approximately 11 acres, and the western pit 9 acres. The mines would operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with an appropriate rotating crew shift schedule. Ore would be mined by conventional open-pit methods involving drilling, blasting, loading, and trucking. Additional activities would include the establishment of a waste rock disposal area adjacent to the eastern pit with a capacity of about four million tons, and the construction of internal haul roads and a main access road to the processing facilities at Key Mill. The proposed mining operations would be staffed by personnel shifted from the Kettle River Mine, which is being phased out because recoverable reserves have been depleted. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Gold production would uphold the statutory right of mining claim holders to develop federal mineral resources as long as undue environmental degradation is not incurred. The project would benefit the local economy by allowing Echo Bay to retain its existing work force. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 105.5 acres would be disturbed, resulting in erosion and associated sedimentation of receiving waters. Disturbed lands would consist of 29 acres of grasslands and 76.5 acres of forested lands; roughly half of that acreage currently serves as winter range for mule deer. This and other species would experience habitat loss. Following project completion, open-pit areas would be revegetated only to a limited degree. The rocky substrates created by the waste disposal area might not be able to support tree species. Some unavoidable adverse impacts to visual resources would occur.

Preparation date: May 15, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TRAIL PROTECTION STUDY, PICO/KILLINGTON SECTION, APPALACHIAN NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL, RUTLAND COUNTY, VERMONT. AN - 36403824; 3599 AB - PURPOSE: Protection of an eight-mile section of the Appalachian Trail in Rutland County, Vermont, from encroaching ski area development is proposed. The trail section extends between Deer Leap Mountain and the Mendon-Shrewsbury town line in Rutland County. It generally follows the ridgeline of the scenic Coolidge Range in Vermont's Green Mountains. Major issues include trail protection, trail relocation, ski area development within and outside the trail corridor, hiker experiences, vistas and visual resources, socioeconomic concerns, black bear habitat, soils and water quality, and wetlands. Eight National Park Service (NPS) alternatives are considered, including a No Action Alternative. The impacts associated with two development scenarios that were provided by the Pico and Killington ski corporations are also considered. Under the preferred alternative, the northern portion of the trail would be relocated about one mile west of the existing trail, partially on land in the Rutland City Forest. Between Pico and Killington peaks the trail generally would follow the existing alignment; south of Killington Peak it would be moved onto the ridgeline in the easement area and onto state forest land near Mendon Peak. The NPS would acquire all privately owned interests in lands in a 1,000-foot-wide corridor surrounding the relocated trail from Deer Leap Mountain to Little Killington Peak, and no ski development would cross or enter the trail corridor. All landowners would be fairly compensated, and memorandums of agreement would be negotiated with the state of Vermont and the city of Rutland to ensure protection of the sections of trail on their lands. The easement area would be widened to 1,000 feet. Because this alternative would not preclude any permitted ski development, it is assumed that the Pico and Killington ski corporations would transfer a total of approximately 3,400 acres to the state for perpetual preservation as wildlife habitat. The NPS would seek an easement with Pico Ski Resort to maintain the present route of the Appalachian Trail in order to preserve the historic access to Pico Peak. Ski area development, operations, and use would not be restricted within the easement area. About 7.4 miles of trail would be constructed between US 4 and the existing trail south of Pico Peak, and about one mile of trail between US 4 and Deer Leap Mountain. The trail would be raised above a wetland north of US 4 to protect the wetland and provide a safe and suitable trail. A new hiker crossing would be established at US 4. Under all alternatives there would be similar impacts on air quality, wildlife, levels of trail use, and socioeconomic concerns. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, no ski development would cross or enter the trail corridor, and approximately 1,000 acres of land would be irretrievably committed to protection. Hikers would not encounter any ski development along this route and would encounter varied terrain. The northern portion of the segment would offer new experiences because it would pass through areas of heavy fern growth and open sedge wetlands. Sounds along the entire segment would be primarily natural, though snowmaking equipment might be heard during the fall and winter months. The impacts on water resources, vistas and visual resources, soils, and vegetation would be minimized compared with those under the other alternatives. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Moving the trail from its historic alignment to a slightly lower elevation would contradict the original trail development objectives for a high scenic ridgeline route and could result in an adverse effect if the historic character and setting of the trail were thereby diminished. Approximately 1,000 acres of land would be irretrievably excluded from development and thereby removed from the Rutland County tax base.

AN - 36407809; 3629 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a full diamond interchange and expanded road network where Interstate 5 (I-5) meets 88th Street Northeast near the city of Marysville in Snohomish County, Washington, is proposed. The proposed construction would improve traffic circulation throughout the city of Marysville and the surrounding county and provide direct freeway access to an industrial and commercial park and U.S. Navy support facilities proposed for construction on the Tulalip Tribes Reservation. The project area extends from State Street-Smoky Point Boulevard in the city of Marysville west to I-5. Under the preferred alternative, the portion of 88th Street Northeast under consideration would be widened from two to four lanes with a center two-way left-turn lane. A span bridge, approximately 240 feet long, would be constructed to replace the existing bridge over Quilceda Creek. A new frontage road would be constructed that would extend 36th Avenue Northeast north to 90th Street Northeast. A four-acre, 350-stall park-and-ride lot would be constructed on the northeast corner of 88th Street Northeast and the 36th Avenue Northeast frontage road. West of I-5 on the Tulalip Reservation, a 12-foot-wide unpaved road presently runs east and west along the existing 88th Street Northeast right-of-way. Under the preferred alternative, a 60-foot-wide, four-lane extension of 88th Street Northeast would be constructed from I-5 west to 27th Avenue Northeast (Quilceda Road). The No Action Alternative is the only other alternative under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed interchange and expanded road network would redistribute traffic and relieve congestion at neighboring interchanges and improve access to the Indian reservation, while the proposed parking facility would encourage use of mass transit. Improved reservation access would stimulate proposed economic development of the area and ensure adequate provision of emergency vehicle and school bus services. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would require approximately 14 acres of land east of I-5 and 8.5 acres to the west. Community character would be affected as neighborhoods changed from residential to commercial use. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

Preparation date: May 7, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MULLIGAN DRAW GAS FIELD PROJECT, SWEETWATER COUNTY, WYOMING. AN - 36387809; 3564 AB - PURPOSE: Continued authorization for drilling, production, and operation of natural gas reserves at depths of approximately 13,000 feet in the Almond Formation of the Mulligan Draw Unit, in southeastern Sweetwater County, Wyoming, by Celsius Energy Company and other lessees and operators is proposed. The study area encompasses approximately 37,695 acres of federal land, 6,576 acres of private land, and 3,016 acres of state land within portions of townships 14, 15, and 16 north, ranges 94, 95, and 96 west, approximately 20 miles south of Wamsutter and 25 miles northwest of Baggs. Three alternatives are analyzed: the proposed 640-acre well spacing action, a 320-acre well spacing alternative, and a No Action Alternative. One producing well with 3.4 miles of associated pipeline, two complete shut-in wells, and three exploration wells in various stages of development are currently in the Mulligan Draw project area. The proposed project would involve the drilling of 40 additional wells and would use standard procedures used throughout Wyoming and the surrounding region. Full-field development of the 45 exploration wells would require the construction of approximately 32.9 miles of new roads, the improvement of some of the 28.6 miles of existing roads, and the installation of 41.7 miles of new gas pipeline to transport the gas to interstate pipelines in the region. The drilling schedule would require one to three drill rigs, with perhaps four to five required during peak periods. Drill rigs would operate on a 24-hour basis and would require three crews of six people, although as many as 40 workers might be at a rig for short periods of time to conduct specific labor-intensive tasks. It would take approximately 60 days to drill each well, followed by approximately 40 days for completion and testing. Prior to drilling, surveys and subsequent monitoring would be conducted for cultural resources, paleontological resources, raptor nests, and sage grouse leks to document their status for consideration as part of the applications for permit to drill (APD) review and approval process relative to specific disturbance activities. The productive life of the project would be approximately 30 years, after which facilities would be removed, the wells abandoned, and the area reclaimed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project potentially could remove 100 percent of the economically recoverable gas reserves, which would help reduce dependence on foreign fuel sources and provide a clean-burning fuel. It would contribute approximately $20 million to $24 million to payrolls and approximately $100 million to $150 million to taxes and royalties. There would also be increased use of goods and services in local communities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Short-term effects of drilling and road construction would include changes in topography due to cuts and fills on the 645 acres disturbed. Removal of vegetation and disturbance of soil would increase erosion, loss of topsoil, and mixing of soil; reduce vegetation productivity; and change vegetation composition when the area is reclaimed. The project would result in some surface and groundwater contamination, increased airborne particulates and other emissions, and increased noise levels. There would be short-term localized reduction in the visual quality of the project area due to the visibility of the drill rigs during the drilling phase of the project and during well workovers, which would be conducted for approximately ten days each at approximately ten-year intervals. Livestock grazing would be adversely affected, with approximately 42 animal unit months (AUMs) of forage being lost due to vegetation removal during construction and, after initial reclamation, approximately 23 AUMs per year being lost for the life of the project. Approximately 184 acres of pronghorn antelope crucial winter range and 461 acres of other pronghorn winter /year-round range would be directly disturbed, and additional adjacent acreage would not be used for periods of time due to human presence. Sage grouse, raptor, mule deer, and wild horse habitat would also be disturbed by the project.

Preparation date: May 5, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - H.D. MOUNTAINS COALBED METHANE GAS FIELD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, PINE DISTRICT, SAN JUAN NATIONAL FOREST, ARCHULETA AND LA PLATA COUNTIES, COLORADO. AN - 36412587; 3558 AB - PURPOSE: Development of a coalbed methane gas field project in the H.D. Mountains area of the San Juan National Forest east of Bayfield in Archuleta and La Plata counties, Colorado, is proposed. Three alternatives are analyzed: the No Action, proposed, and Current Direction alternatives. The proposed project would require issuance of a special permit to Amoco Production Company. The study area for the project is bounded by US Highway 160 and the Fosset Gulch Road to the north, the Piedra River to the east, and the forest's proclaimed boundary to the south and west. The area includes 45,100 acres of National Forest System (NFS) lands, 11,450 acres of private lands, and 360 acres of state lands. The project would involve the drilling of 33 coalbed methane gas wells, 17 on the western side and 16 in the southeast corner of the study area. Five of the wells would be located on private land, and the remainder would be located on NFS land, each averaging approximately three acres in size. The project would also require the construction of approximately 27 miles of new access road, production testing for coalbed methane, construction of 25.5 miles of flowlines for methane gas and water production, and reclamation of all areas not needed for production, including well pads and nonsystem access roads in cases where wells were not productive. Wells would be drilled to depths of between 2,200 and 2,800 feet. Road access and well pad construction would begin in 1992. Wells proposed in the Sauls Creek area would be developed first, with some activity also anticipated in the southeast corner of the H.D. Mountains in the vicinity of existing wells. Well development would continue beyond 1992. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing natural gas for regional use, the project would employ significant numbers of local residents. Production of natural gas would reduce the nation's dependence on foreign sources of energy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Gas development would harm big game, including deer and elk, and other wildlife species, and would indirectly impact private land and existing habitat improvement projects. Groundwater and surface water quality degradation and quantity reduction could result from gas development. Archaeological resources could be damaged, and adjoining private land would be affected by noise, dust, and traffic, which would result in declining property values. Visual and other recreational resources would be affected by development facilities. Road maintenance costs would increase significantly. Construction of well pads, development of a 50-foot-wide right-of-way for access roads and flowlines into 28 well sites, and construction of a 20-foot-wide flowline right-of-way for existing wells would disturb 84 acres, 141 acres, and 46 acres, respectively.

Preparation date: May 4, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LEASING FOR OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE SHOSHONE NATIONAL FOREST, FREMONT, HOT SPRINGS, PARK, SUBLETTE, AND TETON COUNTIES, WYOMING. AN - 36409114; 3565 AB - PURPOSE: Issuing of oil and gas leases for the 1.003 million acres available for leasing in the Shoshone National Forest in northwest Wyoming is proposed. Portions of the forest are located in Fremont, Hot Springs, Park, Sublette, and Teton counties. The No-Lease Alternative, the Continuation of Existing Direction (No Action) Alternative, and six action alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. There is no preferred alternative. The alternatives differ in terms of the type of lease used and the emphasis on minimizing adverse impacts on wildlife and on water, visual, and recreational quality. The basis for implementing an alternative on available lands is to create a lease with the BLM standard lease terms (SLT) and then attach one or more of the following stipulations concerning the land: no surface occupancy, a timing limitation stipulation, and controlled surface use. In general, increased stipulations allow better protection of resources. The action proposals would allow leasing, exploration, and development on areas ranging from 0.18 million acres to all 1.003 million acres of the administratively available land in the forest. The share of all lands with high and moderate potential for oil and gas forestwide being available for leasing with surface occupancy would range from 27 to 100 percent. Based on this calculation, 13 to 29 exploratory wells would be expected to be drilled in the forest in the next ten years. With this level of exploration, the probability that at least one field would be discovered and developed in the forest ranges from 72 to 95 percent. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Average annual impacts on total economic activity due to oil and gas activity would range from $7.3 million to $9.0 million in the Northern Shoshone region, and from $2.7 million to $4.1 million in the Southern Shoshone region. Increases in employment would range from 47.09 to 58.73 full-time equivalents in the Northern Shoshone region, and from 18.57 to 28.78 full-time equivalents in the Southern Shoshone region. Average annual revenue to the local government would range from $105.1 million to $172.8 million in the Northern Shoshone region and from $28.3 million to $55.8 million in the Southern Shoshone region. The net present value of federal government revenues for the project would range from -$237,000 to $955,000 in the Northern Shoshone region, yielding revenue-cost ratios ranging from approximately zero to 2.11. In the Southern Shoshone region, the net present value of federal revenues would range from -$529,000 to $258,000, yielding revenue-cost ratios ranging from zero to 1.45. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Environmental impacts would be highly variable depending on the lease granted. The most lax lease alternative would use the SLT, which would be insufficient to prevent the loss of soil productivity and adverse impacts to water quality and aquatic resources in areas with moderate and high soil and water hazards, in isolated tracts, and in wetlands and floodplains. Under the SLT, compliance with the Clean Water Act would not be assured. In some areas, the SLT would be insufficient to meet Interagency Grizzly Bear Guidelines or to mitigate impacts to crucial wildlife winter range areas, birthing areas, and an elk migration route. Although the SLT would prohibit operations within campgrounds, other developed recreation sites, trailheads, and resorts, operations immediately adjacent to these sites could cause direct impacts to their natural character and to the recreation experience. The SLT would also be insufficient to protect religious and spiritual areas that are not well-defined because under them there would be little opportunity to move operations away from sensitive areas. Similarly, the SLT would be insufficient to minimize impacts to visual quality in primary travel corridors because under them there would be little opportunity to locate operations away from scenic landscapes. As a result, operations could cause unacceptable alterations to the natural-appearing environment. In the Togwotee travel corridor, for example, cumulative effects created by exploration and development activities could change the corridor's biological or physical character given the reasonably foreseeable postleasing activity scenario.

Preparation date: May 3, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - AMERICAN RIVER BRIDGE CROSSING PROJECT, FOLSOM, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36394829; 3515 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a new bridge crossing the American River in the city of Folsom, California, is proposed. The proposed project would relieve traffic congestion on the Rainbow Bridge, a two-lane bridge over the American River designed to carry traffic from Folsom and surrounding areas to US Highway 50 and Sacramento. The bridge is currently operating at its design capacity. Folsom is located approximately 25 miles east of Sacramento and 25 miles west of Placerville in the eastern portion of Sacramento County. The project area extends from Lake Natoma on the west to Folsom Dam on the northeast. In addition to the No Action Alternative, four build alternatives are under consideration; each would involve the construction of a bridge with four to six lanes and improvements to access roads and nearby intersections. Alternative 1 would extend across Lake Natoma from Folsom Boulevard near its intersection with Leidesdorff Street to the Folsom-Auburn Road/Greenback Lake intersection. Alternative 2 would extend across the American River from the northern extension of Oak Avenue Parkway to East Natoma Street at Fargo Way. Alternative 3 would cross the American River immediately upstream from the existing Rainbow Bridge, and would include a connector to the Oak Avenue Parkway extension. Under this proposal, the new bridge would serve both directions of traffic while the Rainbow Bridge would serve southwest-bound traffic. Alternative 4 would cross the American River just below Folsom Dam, with access from Folsom-Auburn Road. Estimated project costs range from $32.3 million to $57.9 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: All proposed build alternatives would relieve traffic congestion on the bridge approach roadways and near intersections in the vicinity of the existing bridge, improve traffic circulation through Folsom, and stimulate local businesses. Because of the potential for utility conduits to be added to the proposed bridge structure, there would be a decreased need for additional utility corridors across the American River. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would displace up to 6 residential parcels, 2 commercial properties, 15 acres of mixed forest, 1.7 acres of riparian woodland, 3.5 acres of jurisdictional wetlands, and 7.4 acres of oak savanna. Alternatives 2 and 3 would decrease the size of the Folsom State Prison security buffer zone. Alternative 4 would result in the loss of a great blue heron rookery. Alternative 1 would result in the loss of a portion of state park and would disrupt bicycling and other recreational activities. All alternatives could potentially disturb the habitat of the valley elderberry longhorn beetle, a threatened species. Construction activity at all sites would result in significant increases in dust particle emissions and internal combustion engine emissions, violating state ambient carbon monoxide standards at 18 to 21 receptors.

The purpose of the acquisitions is to protect the wilderness characteristics including threatened/endangered species and critical wildlife habitat, wetland and riparian values, and back-country recreational opportunities. The acquisitions will also ensure incompatible uses such as development, structures, roads, mining, and range improvements are prevented. Of the wilderness areas designated in Arizona, twenty wilderness areas contain private and/or state surface and subsurface inholdings. These wilderness areas are Aravaipa Canyon, Arrastra Mountain, Cottonwood Point, Eagletail Mountains, Harcuvar Mountains, Hassayampa River Canyon, Hells Canyon, Hummingbird Springs, Mount Logan, Mount Nutt, Mount Tipton, North Maricopa Mountains, Paiute, Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs, Rawhide Mountains, Redfield Canyon, Signal Mountains and Wabayuma Peak.

AN - 36409188; 3507 AB - PURPOSE: Reconstruction of approximately three miles of roadway on State Route 9 (SR 9) and State Route 530 (SR 530) within and near the city of Arlington, Washington, is proposed. The purpose of the proposed action would be to (1) replace Stillaguamish River bridges 9/132 and 530/120, which are structurally deficient and functionally obsolete; (2) improve traffic operations and carrying capacity to meet the traffic volume demand in the year 2015; (3) improve the safety of the SR 9 and SR 530 corridors through and near Arlington; and (4) allow for community development within Arlington and unincorporated Snohomish County. In addition to the No Action Alternative, three build alternatives are under consideration. All three alternatives would replace the two bridges and realign SR 9 so that it would go north from its existing westerly intersection with SR 530, cross the Stillaguamish River, and reconnect with the existing SR 9 alignment just north of Schloman Road. Under the Burke Avenue Alternative, SR 530 would be realigned from the curve west of Arlington so that it would go easterly through the city along Burke Avenue. The alignment would cross the South Fork of the Stillaguamish River just west of and adjacent to the existing SR 530 bridge. It would match the existing alignment just to the north of the existing bridge, and improvements would continue north to the SR 530/Arlington Heights Road intersection. Under the Northern Bypass Alternative, SR 530 would connect with the new SR 9 alignment at Division Street and cross the Stillaguamish River on the new SR 9 bridge. On the north side of the river, SR 530 would leave the SR 9 alignment and proceed east across the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River on a new bridge, joining the existing SR 530 alignment in the vicinity of the Arlington Heights Road intersection. Under this alternative, the SR 530 bridge would be replaced with a pedestrian bridge for access to Twin Rivers County Park. Under the Bypass/Throughpass Alternative, a segment of SR 530 would be constructed on an alignment similar to that in the Bypass Alternative. The existing section of SR 530, from its intersection with SR 9 to its intersection with Arlington Heights Road, would be rechannelized and signalized where necessary to improve traffic through the city. Estimated construction costs would range from $34 million to $49 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide roadway improvements that are needed to keep pace with traffic volume, which has increased approximately 5.5 percent annually since 1975, and would reduce the number of accidents on the two bridges and roadways. Construction activities would generate an estimated 913 to 1,353 new jobs, and wages and salaries ranging from $27 million to $41 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Nearly the entire project area would be located within the Stillaguamish River floodplain, which would be affected by new earthfill bridge approaches, concrete bridge piers, and increased storm-water runoff. Depending on the alternative selected, construction would require the displacement of 17 to 21 acres of prime farmland and the demolition of 11 to 23 structures, most of them single-family residences. Two of the build alternatives would require the acquisition of some lands from Twin Rivers County Park, and would limit access to the park.

Preparation date: March 27, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - OIL AND GAS LEASING ON LANDS ADMINISTERED BY THE MANTI-LA SAL NATIONAL FOREST, UTAH AND COLORADO. AN - 36409319; 3478 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a 15-year lease program for development of oil and gas resources within the Manti-La Sal National Forest of Utah and Colorado is proposed. The national forest is located in central and southeastern Utah with a small portion extending eastward into southwestern Colorado. It consists of three separate divisions with a total of five ranger districts. This draft environmental impact statement (EIS), which updates a final EIS that became effective in November 1986, responds to administrative changes made under the Federal Onshore Oil and Gas Leasing Reform Act of 1987. The act shifted discretionary authority for oil and gas leasing on national forest lands from the Bureau of Land Management to the Forest Service. The preferred alternative would offer new leases on available lands consistent with the Forest Plan developed in the final EIS with some modifications based on more recent resource information and management needs. No-surface-occupancy, timing limitations, and controlled-surface-use stipulations would be used in combinations to accomplish National Forest System management goals and objectives. Only the Dark Canyon Wilderness area would be unavailable for leasing under this alternative. The following acreage would be available for leasing: 440,428 and 292,787 acres in two sections of the Manti Division; 69,906 acres in the San Pitch Division; 168,161 acres in the Moab Ranger District; and 66,748 and 251,677 acres in two sections of the Monticello Ranger District. A no-surface-occupancy stipulation would be applied to leases wherever the slope is greater than 35 percent, wherever the geologic or erosion hazard rating is high, within 200 feet of arterial and major collector roads, or within 200 feet of riparian areas. Up to 42 exploratory drill pad sites could be constructed during the planning period at a total cost of approximately $2.73 million. Each wildcat well would require 3.8 to 6.9 miles of new or improved access roads through the national forest. The exploration phase is expected to require an average work force of 18 workers per year. The production phase would require an average work force of one to three workers in each field area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of oil and gas resources within the forest would help reduce the nation's dependence on foreign sources of petroleum while contributing to the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Lease development activities would disturb all vegetation within the pad area. For production wells, the loss of vegetation would last for the life of the operations, which could exceed 20 years. For unsuccessful exploration wells, the loss of vegetation would normally last for five years. Moderate disturbances to summer and winter big game ranges would occur. Aquatic wildlife could be affected by increased sediment levels or unabated spills of pollutants. Other issues of concern include the effects of oil and gas development activities on soils, water quality, and air quality.

AN - 15231646; 3482 AB - PURPOSE: Development and operation of an open pit copper mine and heap leach processing facility on mining claims staked on public lands in Graham County, Arizona, is proposed. The proposed project, which would be developed by AZCO Mining Inc., is located at the southeast end of the Gila Mountains, approximately ten miles east-northeast of Safford, Arizona. The ore would be mined using conventional open pit mining techniques and equipment; the expected mining rate is 10 million tons per year for ore and 13 million tons per year for waste rock and alluvium. The final pit would measure approximately 4,000 feet in diameter and 1,200 feet in depth. It is estimated that during its projected 17 years of operation, the mine would yield 168 million tons of copper ore, 23 million tons of low-grade copper material, and 206 tons of waste rock. Ore would be transported by truck from the pit to a crushing and screening plant prior to being conveyed to the leach pads. Two leach pads would be constructed on a natural terrace adjacent to the Gila Mountains; the pads would be built to a maximum height of approximately 300 feet and would affect about 535 acres when complete. Crushed ore would be treated with a dilute sulfuric acid solution and then rinsed, producing pregnant leach solution that would be piped back to the processing facility. Water needs would be met by pumping approximately 1,350 gallons of water per minute from the lower aquifer. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed facility would have a significant effect on the local economy. It would provide 210 new jobs and an estimated $8.15 million in annual payroll to the Safford area, and would generate $1.16 million in tax revenue for Graham County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would displace approximately 1,407 acres of Sonora desert scrub vegetation; some of the disturbed acreage would be revegetated, although the 310-acre open pit would not be backfilled. Potential air quality effects include increases in ambient concentrations of particulate matter, nitrogen oxide, and carbon monoxide. Some high-interest wildlife species, such as California leaf-nosed bats, javelina, mule deer, and game birds, would be adversely affected by habitat loss and displacement. Some 36 prehistoric and historic sites, all eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, would be damaged or destroyed by mining and facility construction.

Preparation date: March 6, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - STAGE 2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT/ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE LOS VAQUEROS PROJECT, CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36412391; 3529 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan to reduce saltwater intrusion into water supplied to customers of the Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) of Concord, California, is proposed. CCWD provides water to approximately 400,000 retail and wholesale customers throughout north-central and east Contra Costa County. The current water supply is subject to substantial variations in quality during seasonal periods of saltwater intrusion from San Francisco Bay into the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, CCWD's water source. The proposed plan would involve construction of a new reservoir within the Kellogg Creek watershed, to be called the Los Vaqueros reservoir. The reservoir would cover approximately 1,460 acres and have a storage capacity of 100,000 acre-feet (af), with a maximum allocation of 56,000 af of emergency storage, 30,000 af of water quality enhancement storage, 10,000 af of unused storage, and 4,000 af of evaporation storage. During critical periods when an insufficient amount of high-quality water was available directly from the delta, water from the reservoir would be released and blended with water from the delta to achieve CCWD's water quality goal. The reservoir would be filled between November 1 and June 1, when surplus water of adequate quality would normally be available in the delta. The dam for the reservoir would be an earthen embankment approximately 192 feet high, to be located on Kellogg Creek 7 miles south of Brentwood. Related construction projects would include a new supplemental intake and fish screen facility in the delta, 5 to 10 miles from the reservoir site, with a new electric transmission line to supply power and new pipelines to convey water from the new intake location to the reservoir; a transfer reservoir (approximately 10 af); a pumping plant for diverting the required flows from the delta to the reservoir or the Contra Costa Canal; and a 96-inch-diameter, 12-mile-long pipeline for delivering water to and from the pumping plant. Seven alternative configurations of the new intake facility, the associated conveyance pipeline, and the transfer reservoir are under consideration. The project would require the relocation of Vasco Road, an important regional roadway, as well as of an electric transmission line and other utility facilities. Overall development costs are estimated to be $28.5 million to $38.2 million; annual operating costs at project buildout are estimated to be $2.3 million to $2.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing high-quality water during periods when the delta waters are high in salinity, the reservoir would provide storage for water that could be used during an emergency, such as a major levee failure or chemical spill in the delta waterway. In addition, numerous trails, picnic areas, and other recreational facilities would be constructed around the reservoir. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would result in the permanent conversion of 10 to 22 acres of land classified as being prime, unique, or of statewide importance, and approximately 1,600 acres of nonprime agricultural lands, plus the relocation of 8 residences within the Kellogg Creek watershed. Approximately 180 acres of valley oak woodland would be lost in the inundation area of the reservoir as well as 900 acres of grasslands, an important habitat for 6 wildlife species. The project would also affect about 3 acres of willow cottonwood riparian woodland along creeks and other major drainages. Development of recreational facilities would significantly add to traffic congestion in the area. Scenic views would be affected by the high visibility of the electric transmission line at the intake facility site and the creation of an unvegetated exposed ring around the reservoir when drawn down during critical periods.

The decisions proposed through the amendment would stipulate the conditions for oil and gas exploration and development in the resource area, which consists of 3.8 million acres of public lands in White Pine, Nye, and Lincoln counties in Nevada. Since 1984 the resource area has experienced steady geophysical exploration and exploratory well drilling, and portions of the area are considered to have high oil and gas potential. The resource area contains approximately 2.2 million acres with high potential, 1.1 million acres with moderate potential, and 0.5 million acres with low potential. The proposed plan would allow for 61 percent of the area's 3.8 million acres to be open to leasing under standard terms and conditions; 1.7 percent to be open to leasing with No Surface Occupancy stipulations; 30.9 percent to be open to leasing with seasonal limitations to protect wildlife values; 0.1 percent to be closed to leasing for discretionary reasons; and 6.3 percent to be closed to leasing for nondiscretionary reasons. It is estimated that the proposed plan would result in 175 exploration wells and 102 development wells being drilled by the end of the land use planning period. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Areas designated as wilderness, as well as areas with concentrated recreation use, would be closed to oil and gas leasing. Development of nonwilderness oil and gas resources would benefit the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Oil and gas exploration and development would result in a long-term loss of productivity on 500 acres of woodlands, long-term visual impacts and a loss of forage productivity on 1,274 acres, and a related loss of 147 livestock and 43 wild-horse animal unit months. Full-scale development would affect up to 250 wild horses if it occurred within a single herd-use area.

AN - 36394796; 3526 AB - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of an integrated solid waste management facility on the Campo Indian Reservation in San Diego County, California, is proposed. The facility would be operated for an initial term of 20 years by Muhti-Hei, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Campo Band of Indian Missions. The integrated facility would consist of a Class III (nonhazardous) sanitary landfill, which would occupy approximately 425 acres and have the capacity to accept 3,000 tons of solid waste per day for 30 years; a materials recovery facility (MRF), which would occupy approximately 15 acres and be used for recycling activities and for storage of recovered materials prior to their shipment to markets; and a composting facility, which would occupy some 10 acres and be used for receiving, mixing, and generating biochemical reactions of waste materials in order to produce a high-quality compost product suitable for sale in the agriculture, gardening, or landscape markets. Nearly all the waste materials delivered to the project site would arrive via flatcars on a rail line operated by the San Diego & Imperial Valley Railroad; the rail line traverses the reservation and continues east to El Centro in the Imperial Valley. The railroad flatcars would transport solid wastes in heavy-duty steel containers 40 feet by 8 feet by 8 feet; a maximum of 70 containers per day would be unloaded at the site. The entire waste stream would require one train of 35 cars per day, with two containers per car. Large quantities of compostible waste (tree trimmings and yard waste) would be segregated from other wastes and loaded into separate containers to be unloaded at the compost facility. Mixed wastes that had not been processed already at another facility would be loaded into separate containers to be unloaded at the MRF. Inert wastes and other nonrecyclables would be unloaded at the landfill. Approximately 44 truck trips per day would be needed in order to transport water to the project site, convey materials to the compost facility, and deliver the compost product to the market. The income that would be generated by facility operations is estimated at $1.64 million per year. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the landfill would ensure a safe, efficient means of disposing of solid waste generated within San Diego County. Through a combination of lease revenues, tipping-fee arrangements, and resales into the recycling market, the proposed project would provide long-term revenue to the Campo Band, enabling the community to increase funding for education, housing, and social services and thereby improve tribal living conditions. Once operational, the proposed project would employ approximately 55 people, 35 of whom would be members of the Campo Band; additional employment would result from economic development spending funded by project revenues. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Landfill development at the proposed site would affect approximately 475 acres of chaparral vegetation, several acres each of sagebrush scrub and grassland, and four oak trees. The low permeability of the landfill structure would prevent rainfall from entering the subsurface and replenishing the groundwater supply; it is estimated that the water table at the proposed site could be lowered as much as 27 feet. Construction equipment at the site would generate significant noise, but only a few off-reservation residences would be affected. Site development and use would generate offensive odors, fugitive dust, and vehicle emissions. Two archaeological sites could be adversely affected by construction of the access road.

Preparation date: February 28, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - 1992 COLUMBIA RIVER SALMON FLOW MEASURES OPTIONS ANALYSIS, OREGON, WASHINGTON, AND IDAHO (ADOPTION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY, CORPS OF ENGINEERS, FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1992). AN - 36386606; 3527 AB - PURPOSE: Modification of flow levels associated with eight reservoirs on the Columbia River and its tributaries is proposed in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington to improve the migration of Pacific salmon, some of whose populations are threatened. The Columbia River and its tributaries form the dominant water system in the Pacific Northwest. The geographic scope of this analysis is the Columbia River Basin from the Bonneville Dam in Oregon and Washington upstream to the middle Snake River reservoirs in Idaho, and north along the mainstem to Mica Dam in British Columbia. Federal and nonfederal reservoir projects in the United States and Canada that influence flows past the eight run-of-river dams on the lower Columbia and Snake rivers are included in the analysis. The dams provide flood control, hydropower, recreation, irrigation, and fish and wildlife habitats. For the purposes of the present study, drawdown and augmentation alternatives and combinations thereof have been analyzed. The drawdown scheme would involve lowering surface elevations at the targeted reservoirs during all or part of the smolt migration. Eight options, including two different timing scenarios for two of the options, have been identified to represent the range of drawdown alternatives. Six of these options would apply to the lower Snake River dams, while the remaining two would apply to the Columbia River dams. The flow augmentation scheme would involve discharge of additional water during the spring migration to increase river flows. As with the drawdown alternatives, a wide variety of options to increase river flows are under consideration. Ten flow augmentation options for the Snake River, which involve modifications to existing Water Budget releases, have been identified. Some of these modifications would be combined with flood control rule curves for reservoirs and/or a shift of system flood control capacity from the Dworshak and Brownlee dams to the Grand Coulee Dam. Volumes under consideration within the augmentation options range from 600,000 acre-feet to 1.2 million acre-feet from Dworshak, up to 200,000 acre-feet from Brownlee, and up to 300,000 acre-feet from multiple smaller sources above Brownlee. The most extreme case would involve using the full storage available at Brownlee and Dworshak, if required, to meet a 140-cubic-foot-per-second flow target. In addition to the supplemental water that could be added to the Snake River, Columbia River flows could be augmented by releases from the Grand Coulee and Arrow dams. Storage releases for temperature control are also under consideration. A monitoring program would be implemented in association with the project. [Since the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) was a cooperating agency with the Corps of Engineers (COE) in the preparation of the final environmental impact statement (EIS) submitted by the COE in January 1992, BPA hereby adopts the COE's final EIS. BPA's actions will focus on acquiring replacement power for that lost from additional water releases.] POSITIVE IMPACTS: By increasing flows for upstream and downstream migration and temperature control, the plan would improve the ability of threatened salmon populations to spawn and migrate within the Columbia River system. As a result, populations could increase significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Releases would result in noticeable increases in downstream turbidity and gas saturation that would exceed government standards. All adult fish passage would be eliminated during drawdown and reservoir refilling, including passage of all spring and summer chinook. Temperature changes in the rivers could negatively impact the early portion of adult upstream runs each year. Resident fish habitat would be decreased, and wetland and island habitats would be altered substantially. Wave erosion would accompany releases. Barge transportation on the Columbia-Snake Inland Waterway would be affected, and hydroelectric capacity and agricultural irrigation would be impacted negatively.

AN - 36410530; 3462 AB - PURPOSE: Improvement of airport facilities on the northwestern tip of the Kalaupapa peninsula of the island of Molokai in Kalawao County, Hawaii, is proposed. The project area is located within the Kalaupapa National Historic Park and Historical Landmark. The existing airport features a 2,760-foot-long paved runway but no paved taxiway or apron. The airport includes three buildings: a 1,017-square-foot terminal, a 1,229-square-foot maintenance/office building, and a storage shed. Actions that would be taken from mid-1991 through 1992 to improve the airport facilities include (1) widening, lengthening, and rotating (nominally five degrees to the east) the existing Kalaupapa Airport runway and adding extended runway safety areas, blast pads, and larger aircraft turnarounds; (2) constructing a paved taxiway between the runway and existing terminal area and a paved aircraft parking apron adjacent to the passenger terminal building; (3) providing airfield lighting for nighttime medical evacuation; (4) improving the airport access road on its present alignment and within its present width between the terminal and the Kalaupapa Settlement; (5) improving the utility systems to serve other airport developments; and (6) acquiring easements for additional airport land. In addition, secondary roads would be graded and paved to the extent that funds are available. Harbor improvements to be included in the project consist of strengthening the wharf, repairing the existing seawall, and removing rocks from the barge basin; all harbor actions would be considered maintenance and repair actions. The estimated cost of the project is $9.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Project facilities would provide greater margins of safety for the small aircraft that serve the airport, reduce operation and maintenance costs, provide the Hansen's disease patients and the residents of Kalaupapa with roadways that would be easily traversable by wheelchairs, and provide the settlement with a harbor facility capable of servicing the needs of patients and residents. Dependable air service is essential to maintaining the quality of life at Kalaupapa; air service is presently restricted during periods of severe weather. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities could disturb sites of historic and archaeological significance, including some possible prehistoric or historic shrines.

Preparation date: February 25, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WASHINGTON WATER POWER/B.C. HYDRO TRANSMISSION INTERCONNECTION PROJECT, PEND OREILLE, SPOKANE, STEVENS, AND LINCOLN COUNTIES, WASHINGTON (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF DECEMBER 1989). AN - 36403948; 3416 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission line from an existing substation northeast of Spokane, Washington, to the Canadian border is proposed to connect the electrical systems maintained by British Columbia Hydro and Power (B.C. Hydro) and Washington Water Power Company (WWP). This draft supplement to the draft EIS of December 1989 on the WWP/B.C. Hydro transmission interconnection project evaluates a new termination point for the proposed line and related changes in the proposed route. The revised proposed route would now terminate at WWP's existing Beacon Substation located northeast of Spokane instead of WWP's originally proposed termination point at the planned Marshall Substation located southwest of Spokane. Under the revised proposal, the Marshall Substation would not be constructed; instead, an additional 5.6 miles of line would be built between a point along the originally proposed route directly south of the town of Mead in Spokane County to the existing Beacon Substation. Three of the existing transmission lines at the Beacon Substation would be reconfigured to accommodate the interconnection; no expansion of the current property boundary would be required. An alignment variation, known as the Orchard Prairie variation, would reduce the 5.6 mile Mead-Beacon segment by 1.5 miles; detailed route descriptions of both Mead-Beacon routes are provided. Use of the Beacon Substation, instead of Marshall, as the termination point would eliminate 31.3 miles from the route proposed in the draft EIS. Consequently, the total length of the double-circuit 230-kV line would be approximately 102.2 miles from the international boundary to the Beacon Substation. Costs for the revised proposed plan are estimated at $102 million, a savings of nearly $22 million over the proposed plan as described in the draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Transmission line operation would provide a privately owned transmission path for power transmission between the WWP and B.C. Hydro systems to improve the reliability and economy of the system while minimizing the financial risk associated with resource acquisition. Without the presence of the interconnect line, energy demand deficits, which are expected to begin in 1995 or 1996, would become excessive by the year 2007 or 2008. Use of the Beacon Substation as the termination point would reduce the overall line length, avoid construction of a new substation, lower project costs, reduce electrical system losses, and increase flexibility for project staging. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of the transmission corridor from the Beacon Substation to the international boundary would intrude into sensitive plant species locations. Four threatened or endangered animal species could be affected by the construction or operations of the transmission line. A priority deer winter area would be disturbed. Displacement of seven residences would be required; 12.8 miles of prime farmlands would be crossed; 8.5 acres of palustrine forested wetlands would be removed; and 1,025 acres of forestland would be cleared. The preferred Mead-Beacon route and the Orchard prairie variation might affect Indian cultural and historical sites located within .3 mile of the rights-of-way.

AN - 36411798; 3453 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of the Arvin-Edison/Metropolitan Water Storage and Exchange Program in Kern County, California is proposed. The Arvin-Edison Water Storage District, in partnership with the Metropolitan Water District (Metropolitan), proposes this water storage and exchange program. The program would involve the exchange of water between the two agencies, facilitated by south-of-the-Delta groundwater storage and conjunctive use operations. Four alternatives, including the No Action Alternative and the preferred alternative (Alternative B), are under consideration. The program would run through the year 2035. Up to 135,000 acre-feet of water would be stored in the groundwater basin beneath Arvin-Edison. Arvin-Edison would use Metropolitan's stored water in later years in exchange for Metropolitan's Bureau of Reclamation water supply from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. During years of storage, Metropolitan would store State Water Project (SWP) water in Arvin-Edison's groundwater basin. During years of recovery, Metropolitan would receive a portion of Arvin-Edison's Central Valley Project supplies in exchange for water Metropolitan previously placed in Arvin-Edison. Under no conditions would Metropolitan or Arvin-Edison extract water from the groundwater basins underlying Arvin-Edison for direct export to southern California. In a typical year, when water would be placed into storage under the program, up to 135,000 acre-feet of Metropolitan's SWP entitlement water would be conveyed to Arvin-Edison from the California Aqueduct via the Cross Valley Canal (CVC). The total delivery of water to Arvin-Edison over the life of the program could exceed 1.0 million acre-feet; this water would be credited to Metropolitan in a storage account. Feasibility studies indicate that throughout the life of the project, approximately 80 percent of the water stored would be diverted to surface water spreading grounds for percolation into the groundwater basin. The remainder of water delivered during storage years would be used by Arvin-Edison farmers directly, in lieu of groundwater pumping. Up to 5,000 acres, called the In-Lieu Service Area, would be designated for use of such surface water deliveries. During years when water is withdrawn from storage, Arvin-Edison would make surface water available to Metropolitan from the Arvin-Edison allocation under the CVC Exchange. Exchange water would average approximately 93,000 acre-feet per year and would never exceed the amount available to Arvin-Edison under the CVC exchange. No water would be delivered to Metropolitan under the agreement until Metropolitan had delivered 100,000 acre-feet to Arvin-Edison. Metropolitan would fund the construction of the following facilities in the Arvin-Edison Service Area: approximately 732 acres of spreading grounds, approximately 17 miles of surface pipelines, and approximately 10 wells. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Program implementation would strengthen Arvin-Edison's ability to meet its irrigation needs by providing surface water supplies, when available, for up to approximately 5,000 additional acres in the In-Lieu Service Area. The program would also strengthen the area's agricultural economy by increasing the dependability of water supplies and decreasing the costs of groundwater pumping. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Installation of the proposed additional spreading grounds in Arvin-Edison would replace approximately 581 acres of prime farmlands with open space. Installation of distribution pipelines and wells could convert prime farmlands to nonagricultural uses. Approximately 732 acres of agricultural and range land would be converted to open space use for the new spreading grounds. Construction of the spreading facilities could result in potential restrictions in the manner of operating oil wells and developing mineral resources in the In-Lieu Service Area. Alteration of Sycamore Creek could be required. Conditions such as scattered clay layers and oil production activities could limit total percolation capacity and affect groundwater quality. Project activities would also have some impact on chinook salmon, striped bass, burrowing owls, and blunt-nosed leopard lizards.

AN - 36397189; 3896 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of an integrated solid waste management facility on the Campo Indian Reservation in San Diego County, California, is proposed. The Campo Indian Reservation, which consists of 15,580 acres, lies just north of the United States /Mexican border and approximately 45 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean. The facility would be operated for an initial term of 20 years by Muht-Hei, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Campo Band of Indian Missions. Under the proposed action, the integrated facility would consist of a Class III (nonhazardous) sanitary landfill, which would occupy approximately 425 acres and have the capacity to accept 3,000 tons of solid waste per day for 30 years, and a materials recovery facility (MRF), which would occupy approximately 15 acres and be used for recycling activities and for storage of recovered materials prior to their shipment to markets. Through subleases with Muht-Hei, Inc., the landfill portion of the project would be constructed and operated by Mid-American Waste Systems, Inc., and the recycling portion of the project would be constructed and operated by Campo Projects Corporation. Shortly after publication of the draft EIS of February 1992, the Campo Band announced that it probably would not develop a previously planned composting facility; consequently, the environmental effects of the facility are not fully analyzed in this final EIS. Nearly all the waste materials delivered to the project site would arrive via flatcars on a rail line operated by the San Diego & Imperial Valley Railroad; the rail line traverses the reservation and continues east to El Centro in the Imperial Valley. The railroad flatcars would transport solid wastes in heavy-duty steel containers 40 feet by 8 feet by 8 feet; a maximum of 70 containers per day would be unloaded at the site. The entire waste stream would require one train of 35 cars per day, with two containers per car. Mixed wastes that had not been processed already at another facility would be loaded into separate containers to be unloaded at the MRF. Inert wastes and other nonrecyclables would be unloaded at the landfill. Approximately nine truck trips per hour would be needed in order to transport water to the project site and carry locally collected wastes. The income that would be generated by facility operations is estimated at $1.64 million per year. In addition to the proposed action, five alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the landfill would provide a means of disposing of solid waste generated within San Diego County. Through a combination of lease revenues, tipping-fee arrangements, and resales into the recycling market, the proposed project would provide long-term revenue to the Campo Band, enabling the community to increase funding for education, housing, and social services and thereby improve tribal living conditions. Once operational, the proposed project would employ approximately 55 people, 35 of whom would be members of the Campo Band; additional employment would result from economic development spending funded by project revenues. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Landfill development at the proposed site would affect approximately 475 acres of chaparral vegetation, two acres of sagebrush scrub and grassland, and four oak trees. Careful monitoring would be required to ensure that groundwater contamination did not occur. Construction equipment at the site would generate significant noise, but only a few off-reservation residences would be affected. Site development and use would generate offensive odors, fugitive dust, and vehicle emissions. Two archaeological sites could be adversely affected by construction of the access road.

Preparation date: November 27, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WEST ROCKY BUTTE COAL LEASE APPLICATION, CAMPBELL COUNTY, WYOMING. AN - 36411936; 3417 AB - PURPOSE: Issuance of a lease for mining 50.0 million tons of federal coal under 390 acres of private surface land in Campbell County, Wyoming is proposed. The subject area is located approximately 10 miles southeast of Gillete. The lease applicant is Northwestern Resources Company and the lease area, which is known as the West Rocky Butte tract, lies contiguous to the 4,910-acre Rocky Butte lease tract, which the applicant has recently acquired; the latter tract contains 575 million tons of coal. The Rocky Butte lease will expire in February 1993. If the Federal Government holds a lease sale for the West Rocky Butte tract and if Northwestern Resources is the successful bidder, the two leases would be combined into a logical mining unit and a new diligence period would be established. The action currently under consideration is whether or not to hold a lease sale. The proposed action is to hold the lease sale. Two small areas would be added to the West Rocky Butte tract to avoid bypassing coal; these areas contain approximately 70 acres and 9.0 million tons of federal coal. The new mine would open in 1993. The surface mining plan would call for construction of an access road, plant, railroad, and initial pit during the first two years. Coal production would begin at a rate of 8 million tons per year in the first two years and occur at a rate of 16 million tons per year during the third year and continue at that rate for 37 years, with final reclamation in the year 2034. As is usual for surface mining operations in the area, the mining sequence would begin by removing and stockpiling topsoil, followed by drilling and blasting. Overburden removed from the initial pit would be stockpiled as well. As mining proceeds, the sequence would become a continuous operation, with topsoil being stripped in advance of the pit and then hauled directly to graded spoils behind the pit. Following blasting, overburden would be removed from the advancing face and replaced directly behind the pit. Replaced overburden would be graded and the area reclaimed. Coal would be transported via trucks for crushing, then conveyed to a storage and loadout facility for unit-train transportation to the market. A total of 51.4 million cubic yards of topsoil would be salvaged and replaced; topsoil would average 4.3 feet in thickness over the disturbed area. A total of 1.956 billion bank cubic yards of overburden would be removed and replaced over the life of the mine; this represents a stripping ratio of approximately 3.1 cubic yards of overburden per ton of coal. The Rocky Butte Mine would join 16 operating mines in the area and would be part of a continuous block of 5 mines south of Gillette, the others being the Caballo, Belle Ayr, Caballo Rojo, and Cordero mines. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Combining the West Rocky Butte tract with the Rocky Butte tract into a logical mining unit would allow the applicant to produce higher quality coal, achieve maximum economic recovery of the public coal resource, and preserve the existing federal coal lease. The 608 million tons of coal that would be mined over the life of the project represent more than 97 percent of the 525 million tons in the permit area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Of the combined permit area of 9,647 acres, 7,333 acres would be disturbed. The quality, structure, and characteristics of the topsoil located on the affected land would be irretrievably changed by mixing. Soil formation processes, although continuing, would be irretrievably altered by these activities. Newly formed soil material would be unlike that in the natural landscape. Air quality would be degraded and visibility reduced by suspended particulates emitted during mining. Surface and groundwater hydrology and quality would be altered significantly. Lowering of the water table would occur in overburden and coal aquifers in the vicinity of the mine until mining is completed. Cropland and grassland, and associated grazing resources and wildlife habitat, would be lost during the period of mining and reclamation. Vegetation diversity would be irreversibly decreased. Accidental destruction of historic and prehistoric artifacts could occur during mining. The natural topography of the area, which is quite flat, would have even less relief following reclamation.

Preparation date: January 10, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTHERN SEGMENT OF THE LAS VEGAS BELTWAY, CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA. AN - 36386829; 3441 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of the Southern Segment of the Las Vegas Beltway is proposed in Clark County, Nevada. The project would consist of a multilane controlled-access freeway extending approximately 20 miles from the intersection of Tropicana Avenue and Durango Drive on the west to US 93 (Boulder Highway) on the east. The project would extend through south Las Vegas and north Henderson, continue to the south of McCarran International Airport, and terminate at or near Boulder Highway in Henderson between Sunset Avenue and Lake Mead Drive. Three design alternatives (Alternatives C, E, and G) are under consideration. Regardless of the alternative selected, and depending on the segment of the corridor under consideration, the freeway would provide four, six, or eight lanes. System-to-system interchanges would be provided at I-15 and US 95. Interchanges would also be provided at major north/south arterials, including Buffalo Drive (Alternative C only), Rainbow Boulevard, Decatur Boulevard, Las Vegas Boulevard (Alternatives E and G only), Bermuda Road, Eastern Avenue, Pecos Road, Green Valley Parkway, Valle Verde Drive (Alternative E only), and Stephanie Street. All alternatives would include an Airport Connector linking the facility and Interstate 15 (I-15) directly to the airport. Alternatives E and G would provide this linkage via a tunnel extension, while Alternative C would provide interchange connections along I-15 that would link the freeway to the airport via the Airport Connector and tunnel. Alternative E has been designated as the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Freeway availability within the Southern Segment corridor would provide the vehicular capacity necessary for current and projected traffic needs. Efficient east-west travel in the vicinity of Las Vegas and to and from McCarran International Airport would be allowed. Existing congestion would be alleviated and future congestion forestalled. Emerging residential, commercial, and industrial areas within the corridor would be enhanced, and regional air quality would be improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 83 to 116 dwellings, affecting 217 to 296 residents and 1 to 4 businesses. Alternatives C and G would sever a gravel quarry at the juncture of the Union Pacific Railroad rights-of-way and Stephanie Street. Vertical cuts during construction could intercept shallow aquifers, and four alluvial floodplains would be traversed. An estimated 288 acres would be placed under pavement. Habitat for the threatened Desert Tortoise and California Bear Claw Poppy, which is a candidate species for special concern, would be displaced. From 9 to 14 prehistoric sites would be affected. Air quality in the immediate area, which is designated as a nonattainment area under federal standards, would be degraded slightly. Federal noise standards would be violated.

Preparation date: January 10, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GEORGE WASHINGTON NATIONAL FOREST LAND AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, VIRGINIA AND WEST VIRGINIA (REVISED DRAFT). AN - 36408114; 3436 AB - PURPOSE: Revision of the land and resource management plan for the George Washington National Forest of Virginia and West Virginia is proposed. The forest includes the Blue Ridge, Shenandoah, Massanutten, and Alleghany ranges of the Appalachian Mountain system. The forest lies within the James and Potomac river basins and within the Blue Ridge and Ridge and Valley physiographic provinces. Elevations generally range from 1,000 to 3,000 feet; however, some mountaintop elevations are more than 4,000 feet. Focal issues under consideration include biological diversity, timber sale economics, forest access, all-terrain vehicle (ATV) use, roadless area management, special recreation management areas, aesthetics, vegetation manipulations, resource sustainability, mineral resource development, gypsy moth infestations, adequacy of plan revision, and the mix of goods and services provided by the multiple-use plan. A total of 13 management alternatives were considered. Under the preferred alternative, the plan would emphasize biological values such as habitat for threatened, endangered, and sensitive species, and wildlife viewing and nature studies, in combination with multiple-use management. The plan would establish multiple-use goals, objectives, and desired future conditions for the forest; establish forest standards applicable to future activities; establish management areas and the associated direction to guide future management activities in particular areas; designate land suitable for timber production; establish the allowable sale quantity for timber; allocate nonwilderness management direction or recommend wilderness study for roadless areas; establish monitoring and evaluation requirements; and determine the extent of land within the Alleghany Front Lease Area to be leased for oil and natural gas exploration and development, as well as conditions under which development would be allowed. The preferred alternative would add amenities to all highly developed recreation areas. Dispersed recreation emphasis would be on quality hiking, hunting, fishing, mountain biking, and nature study. Three roadless areas would be recommended for wilderness study, while other roadless areas would be managed as remote highlands to provide for primitive recreation opportunities and habitat for species favoring remote areas. Five ATV trail complexes would be designated, providing 173 miles of road suitable for ATV use. The average annual timber sale quantity would be 27 million board feet, with 259,036 acres (24 percent of the forest) designated as suitable for timber production. Wildlife management would be emphasized on 39 percent of the forest through a combination of practices, including timber harvesting, prescribed burning, and opening development. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Revision of the forest management plan as proposed would provide for the continued production of forest products while affording protection to the natural aspects of the forest for human and nonhuman users. A sustained yield of forest products would be assured for future generations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Timber harvests, road construction, and other exploitative uses would destroy vegetation and disturb soils, resulting in sedimentation of receiving flows. Wildlife habitat in disturbed areas would be degraded, and visual and recreational quality in these areas would decline. Prescribed burning would degrade air quality temporarily in localized areas.

AN - 36387110; 3414 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of an oil and gas resource management plan is proposed for approximately 1.7 million surface acres and 4.6 million subsurface acres of public domain and acquired lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). These lands are administered by the Billings, Powder River, and South Dakota resources areas within the Miles City District of Montana and South Dakota. The Billings Resource Area and the Powder River Resource Area are located in the south-central and southeastern portions of Montana. The South Dakota Resource Area includes the entire state of South Dakota. Altogether, the planning area encompasses approximately 70.5 million acres. Focal planning issues considered include conflicts between hydrocarbon resources and other resource values, allowable impacts, areas open or closed to leasing, the method of determining reasonably foreseeable development (RFD) for the planning area, identification of mitigation measures, oil and gas in multiple-use management decisions, and hazardous materials. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered. Under the preferred alternative, land would be located for leasing or no leasing as follows: (1) 2.84 million acres open to leasing subject to lease terms only; (2) 2.16 million acres open to leasing subject to seasonal or other minor constraints; (3) 108,000 acres open to leasing subject to No Surface Occupancy and similar major constraints; and (4) 60,000 acres closed to leasing. Stipulations designed to protect different resources overlap in some locations, so the total acres of these categories may exceed the actual total acres of BLM-administered lands in the planning area. Both nondiscretionary closures (areas closed by law or regulation) and discretionary closures (areas closed by choice of the responsible BLM official) would be included in closed areas. In this planning area, closures would include wilderness study areas, the Fort Meade Recreation Area, the Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range, and the Meeteetse Spires, an area recommended for designation as an area of critical environmental concern. Under the proposed management plan, 630 federally leased wells would be drilled during the next 15 years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would strike a balance between the demands of oil and gas resource development and the protection of sensitive areas and other resources. Lease stipulations would provide sufficient protection for the resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Well development would disturb 2,447 acres of federal land due to well pad and access road construction and the construction of production facilities. Well pad and access road construction, drilling, and venting and flaring of nonrecoverable gas would degrade air quality. Well drilling and operating effects, potential pipeline construction, and road construction would impact hydrologic resources, soils, vegetation, and associated livestock grazing operators, and wildlife habitat, cultural and paleontological resources, and recreation resources. Stipulations preventing the exploration and development of resources would eliminate access to three well sites, resulting in $513,000 in foregone earnings over the next 15 years; the foregone wells would have produced an estimated 91,000 barrels of oil and 21 million cubic feet of natural gas, resulting in federal rents and royalties totalling $1.56 million.

The purposes of these studies are to provide hydrologic and geologic information to evaluate the suitability of Yucca Mountain for development as a high-level nuclear waste repository, and to evaluate the ability of the mined geologic disposal system (MGDS) to isolate the waste in compliance with regulatory requirements. The Bureau of Reclamation was selected by the GS as a contractor to provide probable maximum flood (PMF) magnitudes and associated inundation maps for preliminary engineering design of the surface facilities at Yucca Mountain. These PMF peak flow estimates and associated inundation maps are necessary for successful waste repository design and construction. The standard step method for backwater computations, incorporating the Bernouli energy equation and the results of the PMF study were chosen as the basis for defining the areal extent of flooding.

The purpose of the plan is to define management, interpretation, and development strategies that will minimize conflicts between user groups, promote visitor safety, and maximize protection of the natural and cultural resources of the Platte River corridor. The decisions made in these plans include relocating the entrance to the Platte River campground and constructing a launch for limited horsepower motorboats on Loon Lake. Both of these actions are underway as part of the total Platte River campground redesign project. Y1 - 1992 PY - 1992 DA - 1992 KW - USA, Michigan, Platte R.

The Plan recognized the need for improved management of fish and wildlife on the more than 270 million acres of BLM managed land. The Migratory Bird Habitat Conservation Strategy Plan is one such national strategy plan. It was prepared in response to a growing concern about the precipitous decline of many nongame bird populations. Six BLM goals for achieving the purpose are addressed in the plan: Inventory/Monitoring Goal; Management Goal; Research and Studies Goal; Training, Education, Outreach and Communication Goal; Domestic Partnerships Goal; International Partnerships Goal.

The plan identifies BLM Goals and Objectives for implementing the national Watchable Wildlife Initiative, in which BLM is a partner with 7 other federal agencies, 4 national conservation organizations and the International Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. The strategic plan describes administrative procedures, actions and operations to be taken by BLM to successfully accomplish those goals and objectives. Implementation of the national initiative will; provide enhanced opportunities to enjoy wildlife on Federal lands; promote learning about wildlife and its habitat needs; enhance active support of wildlife resource conservation by the American public; enhance Federal and State wildlife management programs: and help protect wildlife habitat and help prevent depletion of any fish and wildlife species.

AN - 36403001; 3355 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed for the Diamond Mountain Resource Area of the Vernal District in northeastern Utah. The management plan would cover all lands and minerals administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) within all of Daggett and Duchesne counties and that portion of Uintah County northwest of the Green River. The area includes 709,000 acres of BLM lands, 1.266 million acres of National Forest Service lands, 28,700 acres administered by the National Park Service, 8,300 acres administered by the Fish and Wildlife Service, 4,000 acres administered by the Bureau of Reclamation, and 489,000 acres of Indian Trust lands overseen by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. In addition, the area includes 160,000 acres of state lands and 1.112 million acres of privately owned lands. The Ashley National Forest, the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, and the Dinosaur National Monument fall within the borders of the area, but lands and minerals within these areas are excluded from the planning authority as are the surface estate within the Ouray National Waterfowl Refuge and lands and minerals of the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation. Five management alternatives were considered, prior to identification of the preferred alternative. Specific planning criteria included those associated with cultural and paleontological resources, fire management, fish and wildlife habitat, land ownership and disposition, livestock management, recreation resources, management of riparian areas, soil resources, air and water quality, areas of critical environmental concern, wild and scenic rivers, wilderness study areas, vegetation, timber industry resources, and minerals resources, with particular emphasis on oil and natural gas leasing and development. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Management under the preferred alternative would generally balance environmental guardianship against resource use. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Livestock uses, exploration for and development of oil and gas resources, timber harvest, road construction, and development of recreational facilities would result in impacts on water, soil, vegetation, and geologic resources.

Preparation date: December 27, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NORTHWEST PIPELINE EXPANSION PROJECT, WASHINGTON, OREGON, IDAHO, WYOMING, NEVADA, AND CALIFORNIA. AN - 15230301; 3320 AB - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of a natural gas pipeline system is proposed within California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming. The project, to be known as the Northwest Pipeline Expansion Project, would involve implementation of systems by the Northwest Pipeline Corporation (Northwest) and Paiute Pipeline Company (Paiute). Northwest would expand the capacity of its existing natural gas transmission system, which extends from the Canadian border at Sumas, Washington south and west through Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado. Northwest would construct pipeline facilities capable of transporting up to 433.4 million cubic feet per day (Mcfd) of both domestic and Canadian natural gas. The gas would be delivered to various locations in the western United States and used by 9 local distribution companies, 16 end-users (i.e., various commercial and industrial gas users), 4 producers, 9 marketers, and 1 interstate gas shipper. The new Northwest facilities would consist of 378.0 miles of new pipeline loop on Northwest's existing mainline and lateral systems. Ancillary facilities would include 68,610 horsepower of compression at 10 new compressor stations, approximately 44,460 horsepower of additional compression at 7 existing stations, and modification of existing compressor equipment and/or piping at 6 existing compressor stations. In addition, 35 communications sites would be constructed or modified. Northwest would also apply to requalify to a higher maximum allowable operating pressure approximately 89 miles of existing mainline in two segments and to construct upgrades and/or crossover taps to loop lines at 60 existing meter stations. Northwest would also abandon 14.8 miles of pipeline on its Klamath Falls Lateral and various other existing equipment, all of which would be replaced by upgraded equipment. Paiute would construct and operate 2.6 miles of 8-inch-diameter pipeline loop on its North Tahoe Lateral, 0.7 mile of 10-inch-diameter pipeline that would replace an existing 6-inch-diameter pipeline on its South Tahoe Lateral, and 12.4 miles and 26.3 miles of 12-inch-diameter loop on its Reno and Elko laterals, respectively. In addition, Paiute would requalify to a higher maximum allowable operating pressure along 31.9 miles of 10-inch-diameter pipeline on its Carson Lateral. Paiute would also uprate and restage compressor units at four existing compressor stations, install a new compressor engine/gas booster at one existing station, and relocate an existing compressor engine from one station to another station. The Paiute project would also include a temporary compressor near the terminus of the Elko Loop and construction of four new pressure regulating stations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: System implementation would accommodate expected increases in gas requirements, particularly requirements by residential and commercial users. Natural gas distributed by the system also would provide for the needs of producers and marketers that service various existing utility and cogeneration customers. Additional facilities would firm up interruptible commercial and industrial requirements to firm commercial and industrial requirements, add new firm industrial requirements, and maintain existing firm industrial requirements in Nevada and the Pacific Northwest. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Portions of the system would be affected by areas characterized by high liquefaction and/or landslide potential. Erosion-prone, hydric, saline/alkaline, and stony and rocky soils would be encountered. Pipelines would cross 94 perennial streams, 2 public water sources, one public supply watershed, and 5 rivers. Affected wildlife habitat would include 105 miles of big game range, 50 miles of upland game bird habitat, 15 miles of bighorn sheep range, 7 miles of raptor nesting areas, and 5 miles of significant waterfowl habitat. The system could damage 2 nesting habitats for herons and could affect the habitats of 14 endangered species. Approximately 135.2 acres of forest and 739.9 acres of upland shrubs would be cleared, and 88.1 acres of wetland and riparian habitat would be disturbed. Numerous fisheries, including those of anadromous salmon/steelhead trout, would be impacted. Compressor stations would generate significant levels of noise. The system would affect 4,734 acres, including rangeland, farmland, residential land, forestland, and commercial and industrial land. Approximately 146 residences would be located within 50 feet of construction rights-of-way, and pipeline would traverse 71 miles of recreational or special-interest areas and 2 scenic easement areas. Approximately 161 cultural resource sites lie within project corridors. LEGAL MANDATES: Natural Gas Act, as amended (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)).

Preparation date: December 23, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN, YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1980). AN - 36407416; 3341 AB - PURPOSE: This draft supplement to the final environmental impact statement (EIS) of September 1980 addresses possible revision of the general management plan (GMP) for the 760,917-acre Yosemite National Park, within Tuolumne, Mariposa, and Madera counties, California, to provide for management of concession services within the park. The need for concession services and the associated environmental impacts have not changed fundamentally since 1980. Visitation has increased most notably during nonsummer months; the greatest increase has been in day use. Visitor facilities outside the park have also increased since 1980, but those facilities do not provide adequate overnight accommodations, food, and other services to achieve the park's purposes when visitors' needs, travel distances, and travel time to and from park facilities are considered. The primary revisions to the GMP involve (1) an increase in food service seating through redesign of existing indoor space and an increase in outdoor seating to alleviate crowding, and (2) a slightly larger reduction in the number of rooms and a change in the mix and types of rooms. Housing for concession employees and the new location of the primary concessioner's headquarters have not been addressed in the plan revisions. Under the proposed action, lodging would be reduced from the 1980 plan figures by 13 percent parkwide and approximately 20 percent in Yosemite Valley; these figures would constitute slightly greater reductions than those included in the GMP. The total number of rooms with private baths would increase from 38 percent to 65 percent. A total of 620 structures would be removed from Yosemite Valley, while a total of 299 new lodging units would be added in the valley. Modifications would occur at Curry Village, the Yosemite Lodge complex, Housekeeping Camp, the Wawona Hotel complex, and White Wolf. The Ahwahnee Hotel, Yosemite Lodge, Tuolumne Meadows, and the High Sierra camps would remain at present capacities. Food service would continue at present levels within existing structures, rather than being reduced as indicated in the GMP; some remodeling and redesign would take place, and new restaurants would be added at Wawona and White Wolf. Merchandise and retail outlets in Yosemite Valley would be reduced from existing and GMP levels. Regarding visitor activities, the revised plan would continue the resource-related approach, although several facility closures would be implemented. Concessioner support services for private functions and special events would be reduced or eliminated. Total concessioner facility costs connected with implementing the primary concessioner's portion of this plan are estimated at $47.0 million to $65.5 million for employee housing and $41.0 million for other construction. It is estimated that $75.0 million would be available from the concessioner under a 15-year concession contract. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Some structures would be removed from the 100-year floodplain, improving floodplain management, allowing for the regeneration of wetlands, and generally improving the values of the river. Removal of structures in scenic areas would significantly improve visual aesthetics. Visitor convenience would be enhanced by the increased number of food service seats. The understanding and educational experience provided by the park would be enhanced through increased emphasis on interpretation. Plan modifications would generally ease preservation of historically and archaeologically significant resources within the park. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The availability of lodging in Yosemite Valley would decrease by 310 rooms, a reduction of 20.5 percent. Parkwide, lodging would decrease from 1,782 to 1,507 rooms, a 13.1 percent reduction. Visitors interested in low-priced accommodations would be particularly affected. Relocation of some services would inconvenience some visitors and residents who have become accustomed to the existing locations. Tennis and skating opportunities would be removed from the valley. Construction activities would destroy vegetation and disturb soils and associated wildlife habitat. Water quality would be degraded by stormwater runoff in developed areas.

AN - 36406831; 3358 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resources management plan is proposed for the Westside Integrated Resource Management area in the Mountain View Ranger District of the Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Summit County, Utah and Uinta County, Wyoming. The area, which contains more than 73,000 acres, is defined by the district boundary on the west; the National Forest boundary on the north; the Smith's Fork /Henry's Fork divide on the east; and the boundaries of the East Fork, Gilbert, and West Fork cattle allotments on the south. The area encompasses the entire National Forest portion of the Smith's Fork watershed. Issues defining the scope of this document include livestock and wildlife conflicts, transportation and off-highway vehicle use, oil and gas leasing for exploration and development, biological diversity, riparian ecosystems, habitat for Colorado River cutthroat trout, roadless areas, and economics. Seven alternative management plans, including a No Action Alternative, were under consideration. Under the Forest Service preferred alternative, the management scheme would maintain current livestock and big game grazing levels and increase forage production for wildlife through habitat manipulation. Timber harvest would remove 2.7 million board feet (MMBF) from 290 acres within the China Meadows/Gilbert Creek area and 3.775 MMBF from 525 acres within the Buck Fever Ridge/West Fork Smiths Fork Area. Approximately 100 acres of willow would be treated via prescribed burning. Approximately 2.5 miles of new road construction and 4 miles of road reconstruction would be necessary to access harvest units. A corridor occupying the western portion of East Fork Smiths Fork drainage would be designated for protection of old growth. Instream structures for fish habitat improvement would consist of 35 structures in West Fork Smith's Fork, 30 in Gilbert Creek, 10 in Archie Creek, and 8 in Willow Creek. A riparian protection fence would be installed in Gilbert Meadows. All-terrain vehicle access provisions would be implemented. All nonwilderness lands would be subject to oil and gas leasing, with no-surface-occupancy stipulations applied to old-growth stands and timing limitations, where necessary, to protect soil and elk and moose habitat. Utilization standards would be established for livestock. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to balancing the beneficial and adverse effects of oil and gas leasing, the plan would provide for a rational approach to livestock grazing, wildlife use, recreational uses, and fish habitat control. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Timber stand treatments, such as harvesting, chaining, and burning, and associated road construction activities could result in short-term soil erosion until slopes and ditches are revegetated and stabilized. Scenic quality and visitor experiences could be adversely affected by road construction and reconstruction, timber harvest, and other vegetation treatments. Road density goals for the area would have to be increased. LEGAL MANDATES: National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

AN - 36394656; 3386 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of an agricultural drainage plan is proposed for 600,000 acres of farmland within the San Luis Unit of the San Joaquin Valley, California. The unit lies within Fresno, Merced, and Kings counties, approximately 200 miles north of Los Angeles and 30 miles west of Fresno. The Westlands Water District and the northern districts (Broadview, Pacheco, Panoche, and the southern part of the San Luis Water District) provide irrigation service to approximately 98 percent of the irrigated lands. More than half of the San Luis Unit study area has shallow groundwater tables that lie within 20 feet of the surface, and that acreage continues to increase. Without a subsurface drainage system to control, manage, or dispose of the drainage waters, agricultural productivity of much of the land would continue to decline. The major problem within the area involves loadings of selenium and boron. The plan has been developed in response to a United States District Court order of December 30, 1986 (Civ. No. F-79-106 EDP and Civ. No. F-81-245 EDP). The preferred plan, which would control agricultural drainage within the area through the year 2007, would be designed to recognize and accommodate technologies that appear promising and implementable within the timeframe of the court order but may be unproved and, therefore, could not be proposed for full-scale implementation at this time. Source control activities and institutional measures would allow management of the drainage problem while a program to develop and implement promising new technologies is pursued. Site-specific actions would be based on recommendations of the San Joaquin Valley Drainage Program's final report. The scheme would combine source control, monitoring, and technology development. Source control activities would reduce and, at least, partly control or manage the drainage problem while assessing the most efficient means of collecting, treating, and disposing of concentrated brines or salts. New technologies would be directed toward concentrating tilewater, isolating and removing contaminants, and disposing of salts in environmentally safe ways. New technology studies, tests, and demonstrations would begin immediately to address four possibilities, namely, tilewater concentration and disposal, tilewater treatment, groundwater pumping, and institutional changes. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to protecting and enhancing the agricultural productivity of the affected lands, the drainage scheme would protect fish and wildlife resources, water quality, and public health. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Groundwater pumping would degrade the aquifer over the short term, with a potential for long-term impacts. Salinity would continue to damage some lands. Plan activities would result in the destruction of vegetation and associated wildlife habitat.

AN - 36408320; 3395 AB - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of a dam and reservoir on Elk Creek in Douglas County, Oregon is proposed. The project would provide regulated flows of water for irrigation and for consumptive uses in the cities of Drain and Yoncalla and the community of Rice Hill. The proposed project, known as the Milltown Hill Project, would be located at river mile 39.4 on Elk Creek, which is a portion of the Umpqua River drainage. The project would consist of a 179-foot-high dam that would create a 24,143-acre-foot reservoir. A portion of the stored water would be released directly into Elk Creek to enhance water quality and anadromous fish habitat and to meet the out-of-stream needs of municipal, industrial, and agricultural users. The remainder of the stored water would be released into a pipeline distribution system to improve municipal, industrial, and irrigation water supplies to Scotts Valley and Yoncalla Valley and provide an additional water supply for rural domestic use in these areas. Allocations for municipal and industrial development, for irrigation releases, and for anadromous fish and water temperature control would be 837, 9,654, and 7,737 acre-feet, respectively. Ancillary project facilities would include a microwave tower for remote operation of the reservoir, recreational facilities, and an 18.5-mile pipeline water distribution system. The pipeline system would allow a full supply of irrigation water for 2,601 acres in Yoncalla Valley and Scotts Valley. An additional 1,163 acres along Elk Creek also would receive a full supply of irrigation water by direct pumping from Elk Creek. Additionally, 897 acres would receive a supplemental irrigation water supply via the pipeline or direct pumping. Other project activities would include road relocation (four miles), a new one-mile road to the base of the dam, relocation of utilities, and drainage facilities on project lands as needed. Mitigation measures for general wildlife impacts, impacts to endangered species, wetland impacts, transportation system impacts, and cultural resources impacts would be implemented as necessary. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing irrigation water for 4,661 acres of arable land and water for municipal uses, the dam and reservoir project would provide opportunities to improve fish and wildlife habitat, improve downstream water quality, and provide new water-related recreational opportunities. The project would also provide limited flood control in and near the city of Drain and the opportunity to secure 767 additional acres of habitat for the endangered Columbian white-tailed deer as a project mitigation measure. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The reservoir would inundate 680 acres of land and 4.5 miles of Elk Creek at the normal full pool elevation of 775 feet above mean sea level. Two miles of tributaries feeding Elk Creek would also be inundated. Inundated lands would include agricultural lands and forest and wetland habitat, including habitat for the endangered Columbian white-tailed deer.

AN - 36402810; 3351 AB - PURPOSE: Reconstruction and relocation of 12.4 miles of Lakeshore Road in the Lake Mead National Recreational Area (NRA), Clark County, Nevada is proposed. The majority of road users are residents of the Las Vegas and Boulder City areas, with a smaller percentage of visitors coming from the large metropolitan areas of southern California. The road, which is the most heavily used road in the Lake Mead NRA, carried 1.2 million vehicles in 1989; it is in poor structural condition and is characterized by a high accident rate compared to other two-lane roads in the state. The road would be improved in three phases that address the following sections of the roadway: (1) the southern segment, extending from US 93 to the state fish hatchery (5.7 miles); (2) the northern segment, extending from Las Vegas Wash to the NRA boundary near Henderson, Nevada (3.1 miles); and (3) the middle segment, extending from the state fish hatchery to Las Vegas Wash (3.6) miles. Under the proposed alternative, 8.8 miles of the existing roadway would be rehabilitated and a new 4.3-mile middle road segment would be relocated closer to the lake. In addition, six new lake access roads and overlooks would be constructed, intersections would be redesigned and rechannelized, and bicycle/pedestrian paths would be provided. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Visitors would benefit from improved highway safety and, with relocation of the middle segment of the road closer to Lake Mead, improved access to and viewing opportunities of the lake. Moreover, relocation of the middle segment would remove that portion of the roadway from above a water pipeline that supplies water to a large industrial complex, reducing the potential for damaging the waterline during road construction. Closure of the existing middle segment of the road could also diminish and possibly eliminate the barrier/fragmentation effect of the road on the desert tortoise, a federally listed endangered species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The visual quality of the area would be affected by cut and fill slopes along the corridor; these would be visible to motorists and, to a lesser extent, to boaters on Lake Mead. Restoration of cut and fill slopes would be undertaken to mitigate this impact. Construction and operation of the road would impact 157 acres of very low- to moderate-density habitat for desert tortoise. A tortoise barrier/culvert system would be constructed along the middle road segment to prevent road kills and facilitate movement under the road.

Preparation date: November 21, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SR 99, FIRST AVENUE SOUTH BRIDGE, CITY OF SEATTLE, KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36408008; 3376 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a new First Avenue South Bridge over the Duwamish Waterway in south Seattle, King County, Washington is proposed. The existing state-owned bridge, which opened in 1956, was intended to be the first phase of a dual-bridge project. Currently, the bridge serves approximately 77,000 vehicles each weekday, about twice as many as it was originally intended to carry. The transportation corridor connects East Marginal Way (State Route (SR) 99), First Avenue South, and South Michigan Street on the north side of the river with West Marginal Way (SR 99) and SR 509 on the south side of the river. In addition to the No Build Alternative, two alternatives are under consideration. Alternative 1 would involve construction of a one-way bascule bridge. The existing bridge would be retained and a second bascule bridge would be constructed immediately downstream to the west of the existing structure. The existing bridge would carry northbound traffic only, while the new bridge would carry southbound traffic only. Four optional configurations are under consideration for connections at the south and north ends of the bridge. Construction would take place in two phases, with the second phase limited to construction of a high occupancy vehicle connection between the north side of the two bridges and Fourth Avenue South. Rehabilitation of the existing bridge, including new one-way connections, would be required. Alternative 2 would involve construction of a new, two-way fixed-span structure. Once again, the existing bridge would be retained and a second fixed-span structure would be constructed immediately to the west of the existing structure. Each bridge would carry two-way traffic. The existing bridge would primarily carry traffic using South Michigan Street and West Marginal Way, while the new bridge would carry traffic using East Marginal Way South to SR 509 and SR 99. Once again, construction would take place in two phases, with the second phase limited to construction of a high occupancy vehicle connection and direct ramps between the new bridge and West Marginal Way Southwest. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Delays resulting from openings of the existing drawbridge would be eliminated, providing uninterrupted traffic flows. Congestion problems during peak-hour traffic periods caused by the inadequate capacity of the existing structure would be alleviated. Use of the dual, one-way system proposed under Alternative 1 would eliminate the possibility of head-on collisions, and either alternative would reduce the excessive accident rate characterizing the crossing. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Excavation would occur in and around the river during construction, resulting in a temporary disturbance of potentially contaminated sediments. The additional structure would displace fisheries habitat. Traffic increases within the project corridor would produce emissions of particulates, carbon monoxide, and ozone. Under the worst-case scenario, 6 to 7 businesses would be displaced, 5 to 6 businesses would lose some portion of their properties, and 6 to 24 businesses would be affected by impaired accessibility. Under Alternative 1, the new bridge could increase river navigational hazards due to the structure's location close to a downstream turning point, while location of the Alternative 2 structure would affect one to five barge/construction operators.

Preparation date: November 7, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PETRIFIED FOREST NATIONAL PARK, NAVAJO AND APACHE COUNTIES, ARIZONA. AN - 36386386; 3335 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan for the management, use, and development of the Petrified Forest National Park of Navajo and Apache counties, Arizona is proposed. Paleontological resources within the 147-square-mile park date back 230 million years, to the Triassic period of the Mesozoic era. The Petrified Forest member of the Chinle formation is considered the best place in the world for studying a significantly transitional part of the Triassic period. The park is also important for archaeological purposes since it has provided sites for human habitation for approximately 10,000 years. Major features of the new plan would include a new visitor center at Tiponi Point, a research center at Tiponi Point, increased emphasis on trails and guided tours into the park's resource sites, rehabilitation and maintenance facilities, relocation of some park housing from the Giant Logs visitor use area, and expansion of the park boundary to preserve significant paleontological and archaeological resources that extend outside the existing park boundaries. Approximately 97,800 acres would be added to the park. Slightly more than half of the additional land would be acquired from private owners, while the remaining lands would be transferred by state or other federal agencies. The traditional use of the acquired land, which is livestock grazing, would be phased out. The National Park Service would increase efforts to educate visitors about the importance of paleontological and archaeological resources and to patrol significant resource sites to reduce theft of petrified wood. The Long Logs area, which still retains a natural litter of petrified wood, would be closed to vehicular access to help protect the wood resource. Housing and maintenance facilities in the Giant Logs area would be relocated to a mesa top to the north to eliminate their intrusion on this significant resource area. The three geographic areas within the park, namely, the Painted Desert, Puerco River Valley, and Rainbow Forest, would be managed differently to provide visitors with a varied experience as they travel through the park. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The newly proposed plan would result in a reorientation of management and use to preserve and interpret more adequately the park's globally significant paleontological resources and to manage these resources as integral parts of an evolving environment that also contains significant cultural, natural, and scenic values. Directly, through their park experiences, or indirectly, through knowledge gained via research within the park, the public would gain a better understanding of the natural history of the park. This improved understanding would promote a desire to live more harmoniously with nature. The expansive vistas visible from the park would be protected from encroachment by structures and the possibility of the development of a waste dump would be removed as a potentially blighting influence. Significant areas affected by overgrazing would be allowed to recover their natural appearance. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 22 acres of habitat, most of which is desert scrub near Tiponi Point, would be disturbed by development. Phasing out of livestock on newly acquired lands would result in the loss of this source of income to the current owners and users. LEGAL MANDATES: Antiquities Act of 1906 (16 U.S.C. 431 et seq.).

AN - 36408909; 3323 AB - PURPOSE: A land and resource management plan identifying management direction of public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for the next 10 to 20 years is proposed for the Bishop Resource Management Area of Inyo and Mono counties, California. The Bishop Resource Area of the Bakersfield District is located in the eastern Sierra region of California. The area extends from the southern end of Owens Lake to Topaz Lake. The resource area shares boundaries with two national forests and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power lands. Historically, mining has been important to the local economy. Within the area, BLM administers 750,000 acres of public lands and 9,000 acres of federal mineral estate under private land. Focal issues are recreation, wildlife, minerals, and land ownership and authorizations. Additional management concerns include range resources, recreation, areas of critical environmental concern, utility corridors, visual quality, vegetation, and cultural resources. The resource management area has been subdivided into nine management areas. In addition, three east-west transmission corridor alternatives are under consideration. Wildlife measures would focus on mule deer winter range and migration corridors, tule elk calving, sage grouse habitat, threatened and endangered species protection, and designation of 105,158 acres as desired plant community zones. Livestock grazing would be prohibited on six allotments and in the South Inyo Management Area and Conway Summit acquired land. Grazing would be allowed on the Larkin Lake Allotment, but removed from two allotments when alternative areas are found and on two other allotments if current permittees transfer or relinquish their privileges. Eleven creeks would be recommended for inclusion in the National System of Wild and Scenic Rivers. Special recreation management areas would include Bodie Bowl and Alabama Hills. Off-road vehicles would be limited to designated roads and trails, and snowmobile restrictions would apply in sage grouse wintering areas. A full range of visual resource management classes would be implemented, and eight scenic byways are proposed. All lands would be open for locatable mineral entry, except Dogtown and Bishop Petroglyph Loop, while salable minerals and geothermal resource development could be restricted in areas under resource protection restrictions. Approximately 18,700 acres would be acquired for wildlife habitat management and protection of recreational, scenic, and cultural resources, and a total of 9,000 acres would be disposed for agricultural, residential, and community service uses. Seven areas of critical environmental concern would be designated. Corridors for 500- and 115-kilovolt transmission lines would be designated. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Management plan stipulations would ensure development of mineral and geothermal resources in an economically viable manner while preserving the natural beauty and recreational value of the resource area. Visual resources and recreation management would be compatible with adjoining agency land use plans and management. Habitats for designated wildlife species and fisheries and riparian-aquatic organism habitats would be improved in some areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mineral and geothermal developments would disturb vegetation and other surface and surficial resources. Compliance with restrictions associated with development of mineral and geothermal resource management areas would increase exploration and development costs significantly for some resource areas. Regional consumptive uses of sage grouse areas would slightly degrade overall habitat quality. Quail, mule deer, elk, and sensitive species habitat would be degraded somewhat. Powerlines could disturb wild horses, affect deer and pronghorn fawning areas, degrade visual qualities and otherwise affect natural settings, impact cultural resources, and expose humans to the effects of electromagnetic radiation.

Preparation date: November 1, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSALS FOR THE AIR FORCE IN IDAHO. AN - 15229642; 3308 AB - PURPOSE: Realignments and other modifications are proposed for Air Force facilities in Idaho. One proposed action would involve establishing a Composite Wing at Mountain Home Air Force Base (AFB). A related action would vertically expand the airspace boundaries designated for military operation and also allow supersonic flights above 10,000 feet above ground level. A third proposal would establish a new air-to-ground training range. Currently, Air Force wings are typically composed of only one type of aircraft. The newly designated Composite Wing would include both bombers and fighters, which usually train separately in strategic and tactical wings, respectively. The Composite Wing would be an air intervention wing, designed to deploy to an area of conflict and respond quickly to enemy threats. The wing would use the Saylor Creek Range as its primary training range. The numbers of aircraft associated with the wing would depend on the option selected. Option A would include 64 aircraft, while option B would involve 76 aircraft and require more personnel. Modification of the airspace boundaries would involve expanding the currently designated airspace and acquiring permission for supersonic flights above 10,000 feet above the ground in the Owyhee and Jarbidge Military Operations Areas (MOAs) of southwestern Idaho. MOAs are areas where military maneuvers are allowed but civilian access is not prohibited. The governor of Idaho has proposed to aggregate state lands so as to acquire a parcel or parcels of land large enough to allow the construction and operation of a new range. The range would improve training capabilities in the vicinity of Mountain Home AFB and Gowen field. Used in conjunction with the Saylor Creek Range, the new range would make simulation of a wide variety of battlefield environments possible. To provide for further training sophistication and flexibility, the state's range proposal includes an offer to allow the Air Force to use state lands to locate up to 35 emitter sites. Located between and adjacent to the state's proposed range and the Saylor Creek Range, these small (approximately one acre) sites would provide locations for basing mobile threat emitters and an opportunity for realistic training against electronic threats that simulate the complexity and variability found in modern combat. A bighorn sheep reserve would be created at the southern end of the new range. The governor has placed several conditions on the proposed range. These include retaining state control of the range property, completing a resource management plan, prohibiting supersonic flight below 10,000 feet above ground level, prohibiting live ordnance, and a one-mile setback of targets from sensitive areas such as canyons. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Composite Wing would provide an opportunity for training under more realistic conditions than are presently possible. Integration of bomber and fighter wings would replicate actual wartime conditions under which both types of aircraft operate in combined, cohesive units. In addition to improving Air Force efficiency, the combined wing would reduce operational costs. Designation of the new range would improve training capabilities in the vicinity of Mountain Home AFB and Gowen Field, enable more realistic training, and increase safety for air crews that currently use the Saylor Creek Range. The influx of personnel associated with the establishment of the Composite Wing would restore the economy of Elmore County to the levels it experienced in 1989 prior to the removal of F-111 aircraft from Mountain Home AFB. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The state's range proposal could reduce airspace available for air-to-air training by creating restricted airspace for operation of the range. Restrictions placed on the airspace could adversely impact general aviation aircraft traversing the areas. Land use plans for some areas within the state's proposed range would be altered. The Composite Wing would increase noise levels in the vicinity of Mountain Home AFB, and developments at the base could have minor impacts on wetlands. The intensified use of airspace could adversely affect traditional activities of Native Americans in the vicinity of the Duck Valley Reservation and primitive recreational experiences due to sonic booms. The influx of personnel and their families would place some stress on School District 193 of Elmore County. State Highways 67 and 30 would become more congested due to increased population and activity. The potential for fires and hazardous material spills would increase as a result of operational requirements. LEGAL MANDATES: Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1988 (P.L. 100-526).

Preparation date: October 18, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MOJAVE VALLEY RESORT, FORT MOJAVE INDIAN RESERVATION, CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA, MOHAVE COUNTY, ARIZONA, AND SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36406955; 3381 AB - PURPOSE: The Fort Mojave Indian Tribe has prepared a development strategy and coordinated the preparation of an overall master land use plan for approximately 4,000 acres in Clark County, Nevada and San Bernardino County, California for a new community that would become a destination resort. This new community would be located approximately 11.5 miles south of Laughlin, Nevada, 2 miles southwest of Bullhead City, Arizona, and 8 miles north of Needles, California. The acreage across the Colorado River in Arizona is included in the tribe's overall development strategy; however, an overall master land use plan has not been prepared for the Arizona lands. Developments in Arizona would include a planned residential community to support and enhance the destination resort. The tribe would lease two sites, one within the destination resort and one across the river on the Arizona lands, to one developer who would finance and construct the appropriate facilities. The lessee would also assist the tribe in specific planning, marketing, and management of these sites. Mojave Valley Resort, Inc. proposes to lease approximately 529 acres of Indian trust land (approximately 526 acres in Nevada and 2 acres in California) for a period of 65 years and approximately 800 acres of Indian trust land in Arizona for a period of 75 years, with a 20-year renewal option on both leases, under the terms and conditions of the lease agreements. Site 1 developments would include five 1,000-room hotels, 460,000 square feet of commercial space, 650 condominiums, and an 18-hole golf course with associated facilities. Site 2 developments would include 110,000 square feet of commercial space, 2,240 condominiums, 2,880 apartments, 500 mobile home spaces, and 750 recreational vehicle spaces. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing needed recreational opportunities for residents of southern California, Arizona, and Nevada, the resort would boost the economy of the tribe and local residents in general. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The existing topography of the site would be altered extensively by grading, cut-and-fill operations, and other earthwork activities. Approximately 568 acres of natural vegetation would be affected, and agricultural land would be displaced. On-site water flows and discharge points would be modified significantly. Sculpted drainage courses would be created east and west of the Colorado River. The proposed action would use a maximum of 1,748 acre-feet of water annually at buildout. Withdrawal of water would decrease the amount of water available for other tribal activities and downstream uses and could impact water quality in near-surface aquifers. Automobile emissions would degrade local air quality. Population increases in the area would place stress on social services and infrastructure.

AN - 36406869; 3330 AB - PURPOSE: Amendment of the Spokane District Resource Management Plan of May 1987 is addressed for 328,000 acres of federally administered land and 1.15 million acres of federal mineral estate scattered throughout all counties in Washington state east of the Cascades. Two alternatives are under consideration. Alternative 1, which would continue the existing management regime instituted in 1987, would constitute the least restrictive regime for oil and gas leasing. Approximately 1.11 million acres of public lands and subsurface mineral estate would be open to leasing. The 12 currently designated Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACECs) would continue to be managed to preclude land uses that could damage special resource values. Off-road vehicle (ORV) designations would remain as described in the 1987 plan; all 21,000 acres of land acquired since completion of the 1987 plan would remain open to ORV use. Alternative 2 would require the revision of guidelines for fluid mineral leasing and development, as well as new prescriptions for ORV uses and new ACEC nominations. Under Alternative 2, four ACECs would be added to the existing ACECs; the new ACECs would include land associated with Coal Creek, Cowiche Canyon, Little Vulcan Mountain, and Yakima River Canyon. Coal Creek would be designated because it contains habitat for federally listed sensitive plant species. Cowiche Canyon would be designated for its unique botanical and recreational values. Little Vulcan Mountain would be designated because it provides habitat for a federally listed sensitive animal species. The Yakima River Canyon would be designated for its recreational, botanical, wildlife, and scenic values. Two existing ACECs, Webber Canyon and Roosevelt Slope, would be released from ACEC designation. Under Alternative 2, most ORV designations made in the 1987 plan would not be changed. Only those areas where new information indicates that additional restrictions are necessary to protect resource values would be designated for restricted ORV access. Specific ORV designation changes would include limitation of ORVs to designated roads and trails on 19,200 acres within the Yakima River Canyon and Upper Crab Creek management areas and within 4,200 acres within the Okanogan Management Area north of the Similkameen River. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Either plan would provide a framework for managing solid and fluid mineral resources, geothermal resources, ACECs, and ORV access. The amended plan (Alternative 2) would protect more lands from mineral resources development and ORV use damages. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Economically viable mineral development would be lessened and motorized recreational access would be reduced under Alternative 2. Regardless of the alternative chosen, mineral development activities and ORV use would continue to result in some land disturbance.

AN - 36407781; 3337 AB - PURPOSE: An exchange of lands within the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area (NRA) of California is proposed. The NRA, which lies in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, encompasses 344 square miles, extending 46 miles from east to west and 8 to 10 miles from north to south. The NRA is bounded by the city of Los Angeles on the east, the Pacific Ocean on the south, the Oxnard Plain on the west, and the Simi Hills and San Fernando Valley on the north. Potomac Investment Associates (PIA) has proposed an exchange of 59.43 acres of land owned by the Federal Government within the Cheeseboro Canyon Unit of the Santa Monica Mountains NRA for 864.45 acres of land optioned by PIA and owned by Lester T. Hope in upper Palo Comado Canyon, also within the NRA boundary. In addition, other considerations would be conveyed by PIA to the National Park Service, which administers the NRA. Both parcels involved in the exchange are located in the Simi Hills. Following the exchange, PIA would construct a portion of an access road across the parcel to link the Ventura Highway (101) to the proposed Jordan Ranch development located in Palo Comado Canyon. Under the agreement, PIA would also expend up to $1.0 million for site acquisition and construction of an NRA visitor center/administrative headquarters at a site selected by the National Park Service (NPS); assign, in perpetuity, the golf tournament parking concession to a nonprofit organization of NPS's choice; and convey 864.45 acres located in the Palo Comado Canyon to NPS and 230 acres of China Flat within upper Palo Comado Canyon and 76 acres at the foot of Cheeseboro Canyon to the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy for $2.0 million. Approval for the Jordan Ranch development proposal would be required from Ventura County and, if the land exchange is approved, approval of the access road would be required from Los Angeles County. The access road would serve the Jordan Ranch development, which would consist of a residential community and a Professional Golfers' Association course. PIA has requested a General Plan Amendment from Ventura County to provide for the proposed development. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The 864.45-acre parcel conveyed by PIA would ensure the preservation of this steep, rugged terrain supporting sensitive plant and animal species, as well as a variety of cultural and scenic values. The China Flat lands offered to the Santa Monica Conservancy would provide protection for a relatively flat area surrounded by steep, sandstone cliffs; the landscape is dominated by coast live oaks and chaparral. The land at the foot of Cheeseboro Canyon, which is dominated by rolling hills and an oak savannah habitat, would also be preserved under the management of the conservancy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Road construction on the 59.43-acre parcel would result in unavoidable adverse impacts on the parcel and adjacent park resources. Recreational and biological values, including valley oak trees, on the exchanged parcel would be destroyed. Paleontological resource damage, topographic changes, soil loss, increases in ambient emissions of air pollutants and noise, and alteration of aesthetic values would also result. Species that nest and forage exclusively within the parcel would be displaced.

AN - 36403059; 3331 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a program to meet the needs and regulate the activities of subsistence users of federal public lands within Alaska is proposed. The management program would comply with federal requirements that provide Alaskan rural residents first priority for the harvest of fish and wildlife and other wild renewable resources on federal public lands in Alaska. The program would affect rural residents participating in subsistence activities on the approximately 200 million acres of federal public lands in the state. Most lands are managed by one of five federal agencies, namely, the Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. Focal issues under consideration include rural eligibility, customary and traditional use of resources, local and regional participation, interagency coordination, and regulatory measures. The proposed plan would include actions by the Federal Subsistence Board, under the auspices of the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture, regional advisory councils, and local advisory councils. Regional councils of subsistence users would interact directly and, with the aid of federal coordinators, with the Federal Subsistence Board. Coordinators would act as the primary liaisons between the federal agencies and the regional councils. Existing state local advisory committees could be used and/or new federal committees could be established, if needed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Changes to the existing life-styles of subsistence users would be reduced significantly. Negative impacts of subsistence uses also would be reduced significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Adverse environmental effects of the program would be directly related to the number of eligible subsistence users who are identified as dependent on biological resources within designated areas.

AN - 15231562; 3350 AB - PURPOSE: The proposed action describes and analyzes the future management and use of the Great Basin National Park, located in White Pine County, Nevada. The 200,000-square-mile Great Basin physiographic region consists of more than 90 wide valley basins separated by 160 long, parallel, north/south-trending mountain ranges. The 77,082-acre Great Basin National Park lies at the heart of this vast region in the Snake Range in east-central Nevada, approximately 300 miles north of Las Vegas and 250 miles southwest of Salt Lake City, Utah. The plan, which would direct management of the park over the next 15 years, would address management zoning, visitor use and development, natural resource management, cultural resource management, and land protection. The proposed plan would focus on diversifying visitor opportunities by expanding interpretation of significant features in the park and the Great Basin physiographic region, improving access to and within the park, constructing a new visitor center, and offering new ways to view and appreciate the park's many resources. Most visitors would continue to concentrate in the Lehman Cave and Wheeler Park areas, and two subzones would be established in these areas to accommodate modern and semiprimitive day uses. The southern portion of the park would be opened to more backcountry use by including large areas in the semiprimitive subzone and constructing trails that would allow visitors to hike the entire length of the park from north to south. Areas with special resource needs and concerns, in particular the alpine and subalpine areas above 10,500 feet, would be included in the protected natural area and research natural area subzones. The remainder of the park would be designated as a primitive subzone. Grazing of domestic livestock would continue within the enabling legislation, except in semiprimitive day use areas, protected natural areas, and research natural area subzones. All 247 mining claims, if valid, would be recognized. Historic resources of particular interest in the plan would include the Lehman orchard, Lehman aqueduct, Rhodes cabin, Osceola ditch, and Johnson mill and mine. Land protection measures would focus on visual resources, trailheads, eastern and western boundary adjustments, and rights-of-way. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Opportunities to experience representative portions of the Great Basin would increase under the proposed action, and interpretation would be expanded. The park would be managed as an integral portion of the larger Great Basin ecosystem, and full consideration would be given to the potential effects of actions inside and beyond park boundaries. The plan would have generally beneficial effects on the park's biological and physical resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Current grazing permittees would be required to restrict livestock to certain locations to a greater extent than in the past. A visitor center on Baker Ridge would be visible from several vantage points. Increased visitation would require substantial increases in law enforcement and maintenance personnel, together with associated increases in costs. Some consumptive and high-impact recreational activities would be prohibited or more closely regulated than in the past.

AN - 36394073; 3241 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for the San Luis Resource Area of Colorado is proposed. The area lies in the San Luis Valley of south-central Colorado in Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, Rio Grande, and Saguache counties. The valley is approximately 122 miles long and 74 miles wide, extending from the Continental Divide on the northwest to the New Mexico state line on the south. For purposes of this analysis, the designated planning area is bordered by the Rio Grande National Forest on three sides. Of the total 1.97 million acres in the planning area, approximately 54 percent are privately owned; less than 1 percent is managed by the Forest Service, approximately 2 percent by the Fish and Wildlife Service, approximately 4 percent by the National Park Service, and approximately 11 percent are administered by various state agencies. The plan, which would direct management of the area over the next 15 to 20 years, would cover approximately 102,000 acres of federal subsurface mineral estate and 520,677 acres of federal surface estate. The plan would focus specifically on designation of a National Conservation Area along the Rio Grande River Corridor within the Taos Resource Area, recreation management, land disposal, rights-of-way management, public land access, off-highway vehicle use, suitability for exploration /development of mineral resources, and special management designations. Specific management actions would cover fluid minerals, locatable minerals, mineral materials, paleontological resources, riparian resources, livestock grazing, wildlife and fishery habitat management, forest and woodlands management, land tenure adjustments, land withdrawals, land access acquisitions, rights-of-way management, areas of special environmental concern, recreation resources, visual resources, historical resources, special status plant and animal values, wild and scenic river recommendations, and water power and storage. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would integrate the land use planning for the area into a single, comprehensive regime. Mineral resource development would be balanced with other exploitative and nonexploitative uses. Resource and management areas that would particularly benefit would include paleontological resources, riparian habitat, livestock grazing lands, wildlife and fishery habitat, land and realty management, areas of special environmental concern, historical resources, and special status animal and plant species. In general, the plan would improve the socioeconomic condition and social environment of the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Compared to the current management regime, the proposed management plan would have negative impacts on mineral exploitation, forest and woodlands management, visual resources, hydropower, and water storage capabilities.

Preparation date: September 27, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PRICE-SAN RAFAEL RIVERS UNIT: COLORADO RIVER WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM/COLORADO RIVER SALINITY CONTROL PROGRAM, CARBON AND EMERY COUNTIES, UTAH. AN - 36412086; 3302 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan is proposed to reduce or curb the increase of salt contributed to the Colorado River system from agricultural lands in Carbon and Emery counties, Utah. The plan would combine the Price-San Rafael Rivers Unit (Unit) of the Colorado River Water Quality Improvement Plan and the Colorado River Salinity Control Program. At its headwaters in the mountains of north-central Colorado, the Colorado River has a salinity concentration of 50 milligrams per liter (mg/L). The concentration progressively increases downstream as a result of water diversions and salt contributions from a variety of sources. It is estimated that the annual salinity concentrations at Imperial Dam will increase from the 1987 measured average level of 850 mg/L to an average of 970 mg /L by the year 2010 unless additional control measures are implemented to prevent the increase of salinity. Numeric criteria developed on the basis of legal mandates are 723 mg/L below Hoover Dam, 747 mg/L below Parker Dam, and 879 mg/L at Imperial Dam. Unit studies on which the plan was based include an analysis of existing irrigation practices and salt-loading mechanisms in the project area, development of alternatives for reducing the salt contribution, identification of potential beneficial uses of saline water, evaluation of alternatives, and selection of the preferred plan. Studies for the unit found that of the project area's annual estimated contribution of 430,000 tons of salt, more than half (244,000 tons) is attributable to present irrigation practices as they contribute to groundwater salinity. Of this amount, approximately 70 percent is attributable to the dissolution of salts from the soils and subsurface materials by deep percolating irrigation water, while 28 percent is attributable to canal seepage and 2 percent to stock pond seepage. Under the preferred plan, irrigation practices on approximately 36,000 acres of land would be improved, primarily via the installation of sprinkler systems, and agricultural water would be eliminated from open conveyance systems during the winter, which is the nonirrigation season. The unit would treat some 16,350 acres of farmland in central Utah using gravity-pressure sprinkler irrigation, approximately 9,650 acres using pump pressure sprinkler systems, and 10,050 acres using improved surface irrigation systems. The sprinkler irrigation component would eliminate 156 miles of canals and laterals and place 97 miles of off-farm systems in pipelines. Winter water replacement features would include 213 stockwater ponds, lining 83 stock ponds, and constructing a 10.6-mile pipeline along Cottonwood Creek to deliver raw water to underutilized stockwater lines and to the Orangeville and Castle Dale water treatment plants. Improved irrigation water management practices would also be implemented on these lands. The estimated cost of implementation of the preferred plan is $77.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would reduce the annual salt contribution to the Colorado River system by 161,000 tons. The cost-effectiveness of the program would be $39 per ton of salt removed. Although total diversions from the river system would remain at the present 178,100 acre-feet per year, the amount of water delivered to farms would increase by 5,930 acre-feet. Fish habitat, which is limited within the area, would improve somewhat due to improved water quality. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project-induced changes in deep percolation would result in net water depletions from the Colorado River amounting to 25,310 acre-feet per year. Construction activities would temporarily disturb 457 acres of upland salt-desert shrub, and alter or eliminate 8,048 acres of irrigation-dependent wetlands. Wetland losses would be mitigated by the purchase and development of wetlands on 330 acres for eventual transfer to the Utah Department of Wildlife Resources for management. Land use changes would impact wildlife and hunting opportunities. One federally listed threatened and six endangered species may inhabit the project area or be impacted by activities that would occur within the area in association with the plan.

Preparation date: September 23, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - 1992 COLUMBIA RIVER SALMON FLOW MEASURES, OPTIONS ANALYSIS, OREGON, WASHINGTON, AND IDAHO. AN - 36407573; 3300 AB - PURPOSE: Modification of flow regimes associated with eight reservoirs on the Columbia River and it tributaries is proposed in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington to improve the Pacific salmon fishery. The Columbia River and its tributaries form the dominant water system in the Pacific Northwest. The geographic scope of this analysis is the Columbia River Basin from the Bonneville Dam in Oregon and Washington upstream to the middle Snake River reservoirs in Idaho, and north along the mainstem to Mica Dam in British Columbia. Federal and nonfederal reservoir projects in the United States and Canada that influence flows past the eight run-of-river dams on the lower Columbia and Snake rivers are included in the analysis. The dams provide flood control, hydropower, recreation, irrigation, and fish and wildlife habitat. For the purposes of the present study, drawdown and augmentation alternatives and combinations thereof have been analyzed. The drawdown scheme would involve lowering reservoir elevations at the affected reservoirs during all or part of the smolt migration. Eight options, including two different timing scenarios for two of the drawdown options, have been identified to represent the range of drawdown alternatives. Six of these options would apply to the lower Snake River dams, while the remaining two would apply to the Columbia River dams. The flow augmentation regimes would involve discharge of additional water during the spring migration season to increase river flow. As with the drawdown alternatives, a wide variety of options to increase river flows are under consideration. Eight specific flow augmentation options for the Snake River have been identified, which involve modifications to existing Water Budget releases, sometimes in combination with application of flood control rule curves and/or shifts of system flood control capacity from the Dworshak and Brownlee dams to the Grand Coulee Dam. Volumes under consideration under the augmentation plans range from 600,000 acre-feet to 1.2 million acre-feet from Dworshak, up to 200,000 acre-feet from Brownlee, and up to 200,000 acre-feet from multiple smaller sources above Brownlee. The most extreme case would involve using the full storage available at Brownlee and Dworshak, if required, to meet a 140 cubic-foot-per-second flow target. In addition to the supplemental water that could be added to the Snake River, Columbia River flows could be augmented by releases from the Grand Coulee and Arrow dams. Storage releases for temperature control are also under consideration. A monitoring program would be implemented in association with the project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By increasing flows for upstream and downstream migration and temperature control, the plan would improve the ability of salmon populations to spawn and migrate within the Columbia River system. As a result, populations could increase significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Releases would result in noticeable increases in downstream turbidity and gas saturation that would exceed government standards. All adult fish passage would be eliminated during drawdown and reservoir refilling, eliminating passage of all spring and summer chinook. Temperature changes in the rivers could negatively impact the early portion of adult upstream runs each year. Resident fish habitat would be decreased, and wetland and island habitats would be altered substantially. Wave erosion would accompany releases. Barge transportation on the Snake river would be affected and hydroelectric and irrigation capacity would be impacted negatively.

AN - 36408743; 3252 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a multiple-use resource management plan for 1.7 million acres of public land in the Burns District of Harney, Grant, Lake, and Malheur counties, Oregon is proposed. Most of the acreage lies in Harney County. Five alternatives designed to meet management requirements over the next 10 to 15 years were considered. Each plan, including the preferred management plan, addresses stream and other surface water quality, forest resources, grazing management, wild horse and burro populations, wildlife habitat, fire management, recreation resources, wild and scenic rivers, areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs), visual resources, cultural resources, energy and mineral resource exploration and development, and land and realty acquisition and disposition. Forage conditions and/or stocking levels would be set for livestock and wild horses and burros. Specific habitat management arrangements would be made for deer winter and summer range, elk winter and summer range, streamside riparian habitat, aquatic habitat conditions, wetland habitat, and playa habitat. Fire management activities would include prescribed fire use. Recreational management components would cover special management areas and off-highway vehicle use designations. All visual class designations would be represented within the management area. Oil and gas, solid minerals, mining materials, and locatable minerals would be addressed in the energy and minerals management scheme. Land tenure adjustments, corridor designations, and areas designated for exclusion and avoidance would be included in the land and realty planning. More specifically, the preferred management plan would provide for the improvement of water quality on 127.5 miles of streams; an average annual timber harvest of 5.4 million board feet from 7,722 acres of commercial forestland; initial forage allocations of 150,472 animal unit months (AUMs) for livestock; provisions for improvement of forage conditions for wild horses and burros and improvement of wildlife habitat, including wetland, aquatic, and playa habitat; implementation of a fire management plan; designation of 17,656 acres of land within special recreation management areas and 1.59 million acres for open and 113,250 acres for limited use by off-road vehicles; designation of 1,804 acres within 5.4 miles of stream corridor for protection of wild and scenic rivers; designation of eight areas, containing a total of 95,049 acres, for protection as ACECs; implementation of visual and cultural resource management plans; designation of lands for energy and nonenergy mineral leasing and development; and implementation of land tenure adjustments, including rights-of-way corridor designations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would represent a complete land use plan providing a framework for the multiple-use management of the full spectrum of resources present. Ample provisions would be made for mineral exploration and development, and air, soil, and recreational resources would be protected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some management actions and permitted land uses, including mineral resources exploration and development activities, would disrupt land, water, and other resource values. Restrictions imposed to protect water quality would adversely affect the viability of some commercial timber activities in certain areas. Short-term management activities would have a negative effect on livestock grazing operations. Implementation of some measures to preserve and enhance wetland, playa, and meadow habitat would be delayed. Access restrictions would conflict with fire suppression efforts, and improved access provisions in some areas would increase the potential for fires caused by humans.

AN - 36402865; 3282 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of the New River Parkway from Hinton to Interstate 64 (I-64) in Raleigh and Summers counties, West Virginia is proposed. The parkway would be a two-lane facility extending north from the intersection of Raleigh County Route 26 and West Virginia (WV) 20 near Hinton to I-64 where it crosses the New River at the Raleigh-Summers County line. The parkway would parallel the New River for approximately 10 miles. Alternative alignments are located within the boundaries of the New River Gorge National River corridor. The design of the parkway would provide a park-like driving experience through scenic natural landscapes. The facility would be a combination of new alignment and grade and salvage of existing road where appropriate. Some 80 alterative segments have been examined to some extent. Along with the establishment of the New River Gorge National River, the National Park Service has produced four plans to guide the management and development of the river corridor over the next 10 to 15 years. The highway would constitute a part of the development design. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Access to the New River would increase, enhancing visitation for fishing, hunting, and sightseeing. Long-term planning for management and development of the corridor would be eased, and economic indicators associated with recreational resources would improve substantially in contiguous areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in some residential relocations; loss of farmlands, recreational facilities and lands, and some historic and archaeologic sites would also be affected. Small portions of wetlands would be impacted, and unstable soils could be encountered.

AN - 36411783; 3238 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for 1.4 million acres of public land within the Safford District of southeastern Arizona is proposed. The district encompasses all of Graham, Greenlee, and Chochise counties and portions of Pinal, Pima, and Gila counties. Geographically, the district lies within the Basin and Range Physiographic Province south of the Colorado Plateau. The plan, which would replace existing management framework plans for Winkelman, Geronimo, Black Hills, and San Simon, would direct future management activities within the district for the next 15 years. The plan would also incorporate a 1989 land management plan for 47,668 acres of public lands along the upper San Pedro River and set management directions for the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area within those public lands inasmuch as management direction is not covered by the preexisting plan. Issues considered during development of the overall land and resources management plan include access, areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs) and other types of special management, off-road vehicles, and riparian areas. Management concerns addressed in the management plan would include wildlife habitat, lands and realty, outdoor recreation and visual resources management, cultural resources, energy and minerals, soil erosion, vegetation, water resources, air quality, and paleontological resources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Management activities would respond to the issues considered in a manner that would provide a balanced approach to multiple-use management. Management direction would provide protection to sensitive resources that cannot tolerate disturbance from other activities, while providing for consumptive uses and development of other resources. Moderate to high protection would be provided for paleontological and cultural resources through the protection measures provided by ACEC management. ACEC management would provide moderate benefits to wildlife habitat and high benefits to riparian vegetation. Restrictions of off-road vehicle use would provide protection to wildlife habitat as well as to soil, vegetation, and water quality. Construction and repair of detention dams would have a moderate benefit for soil retention in the San Simon River channel and the Bear Springs Flat area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the Timber Draw detention dam would result in high impacts to archaeological sites in the project area. Mineral extraction restrictions and withdrawals would have some impact on the economic status of local mineral interests. Designation of the Dry Spring Research Natural Area and Swamp Springs/Hot Springs Watershed ACECs would result in a loss of 2,760 animal unit months of livestock forage; this loss would have a significant economic impact on some ranchers.

AN - 36402719; 3244 AB - PURPOSE: Wilderness designations are considered for lands and waters within the Voyageurs National Park of Koochiching and Saint Louis counties, Minnesota. This document revises the draft EIS of July 1980. Since the issuance of the draft EIS, all lands and waters were reevaluated for their wilderness suitability, and a total of 128,886 acres were determined to be suitable for further consideration. These areas, known as the study area, constitute 91.8 percent of the park's land area and 6.7 percent of its water area. Areas considered unsuitable for wilderness consideration include the four major lakes (Rainy, Kabetogama, Namakan, and Sand Point), as well as park developed areas, historic resources, Chippewa Indian lands, public access routes, snowmobile portages, and miscellaneous areas that are too small to be managed as wilderness. Six alternatives were considered, ranging from no wilderness designation to designation of all suitable areas as wilderness. The proposed action would recommend approximately 127,438 acres of park lands and waters for wilderness designation (98.9 percent of the study area). Areas recommended for wilderness would include the relatively pristine and rugged Kabetogama Peninsula, the southeastern portion of the park, most park islands, and 4,404 acres of interior lakes. Approximately 2,423 acres of land would be recommended as potential wilderness additions; these lands are not currently owned by the federal government, are under use-and-occupancy agreements, or contain structures that would require removal or deterioration. Motorized use would continue to be allowed on the major lake surfaces and 15.7 miles of snowmobile portages. A 100-foot-wide nonwilderness corridor would be established on the Kabetogama Peninsula through the Chain of Lakes to provide for one-way snowmobile travel. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation would provide long-term legal protection of solitude, naturalness, and opportunities for primitive recreation on nearly all park lands. Backcountry users would continue to have opportunities for solitude, backpacking, and nature study, while other visitors would continue to have opportunities to reach areas in the park by motorboat and snowmobile. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The use of motor boats in the summer and snowmobiles in the winter within the park would adversely affect solitude along shorelines accessible to motorized use and near on-land snowmobile trails and portages. The potential for overfishing and disturbance of nesting loons would continue on all interior lakes, and this situation would be aggravated on the seven interior lakes open to motorized access. As a result, fish and loon populations could be reduced. Recreational trail use could affect the park's population of threatened gray wolf. White-tailed deer would be displaced temporarily during periods of snowmobile use, but no long-term adverse effects would result.

Preparation date: August 30, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TRANSCOLORADO GAS TRANSMISSION PROJECT BETWEEN THE PICEANCE BASIN SOUTHWEST OF MEEKER, COLORADO AND BLOOMFIELD, NEW MEXICO. AN - 36409942; 3230 AB - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of a natural gas pipeline in western Colorado and northwestern New Mexico are proposed to transport natural gas produced in the Rocky Mountain Region to a pipeline terminus at the Blanco gas treatment plant near Bloomfield, New Mexico. The project would require issuance of rights-of-way permits by the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. The gas transported by the new pipeline system would be commingled at the Blanco plant with gas from other sources and then distributed to Southern California and Midwest markets via the El Paso or Transwestern pipelines. The applicant's proposal would involve a 302-mile pipeline system, which would use 22- and 24-inch-diameter pipeline, would include six new compressor stations, one upgraded compressor station, and six meter stations. Under the federally preferred alternative, the pipeline system would extend only 290 miles; all other design specifications, including the number of compressor stations and meter stations, would remain the same as under the applicant's proposal. Block valves, pigging facilities (cleaning devices), corrosion protection facilities (cathodic stations), and communication facilities would be included in the project. The pipeline would be constructed within a 75-foot-wide rights-of-way, although the permit rights-of-way would be 50 feet. Pipeline construction would require approximately nine months, beginning in April 1992 and ending in December 1992. The pipeline would be constructed by three separate crews (spreads) working in three different locations along the pipeline simultaneously. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline would transport up to 300 million cubic feet of gas per day, providing cheap power to residential and commercial users in Southern California and the Midwest. Demand for foreign sources of power in these regions would decline. The three mainline construction spreads would employ an average of 480 workers each with a maximum of 550 employees during peak construction, which would last 10 weeks. In total, approximately 1,440 workers would be employed at any one time during construction. System operations would employ 20 persons and result in increases in local property tax bases. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of pipeline rights-of-way and compressor and meter stations under the applicant's proposal would disturb 2,802 acres, including 900 acres of forest, while the federally preferred alternative would disturb 2,693 acres, including 812 acres of forest. Soils, archaeological resources, and visual resources would be degraded as a result of rights-of-way disturbance. Crop production would be precluded on 273 to 318 acres for two years. Regardless of the alternative chosen, five river crossings would be involved during construction and 36 acres would be disturbed within the Palasade municipal watershed. Construction activities would result in the short-term degradation of local air quality and emission of noise.

AN - 36385889; 3250 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a 20-year land and resource management plan is proposed for 3.05 million acres of public lands and 4.1 million acres of federal mineral estate in the Mimbres Resource Area of the Las Cruces District of southwestern New Mexico. The lands under consideration lie in Dona Ana, Luna, Grant, and Hidalgo counties. Focal issues under consideration include land tenure adjustments, areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs) and special management areas, vehicle management, and access. In addition to these issues, the plan addresses rights-of-way, recreation, minerals, cultural and paleontological resources, wildlife habitat, riparian and arroyo habitat, special status species, and soil, air, and water quality. Alternatives under consideration include continuation of the current management regime, a resource preservation alternative, a resource production alternative, and a resource conservation alternative. Under the preferred, resource conservation, alternative, management of the study area would result in the designation of 158,460 acres of public land for disposal; designation of 93,110 acres of state trust land and 56,210 acres of private land for acquisition; designation of 27 ACECs; designation of the Butterfield Trail (15,690 acres) as an historical area and the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (48,450 acres) as a scenic area; recommendation of 34,480 acres within four areas for wilderness study; motor vehicle designations resulting in 16,190 acres open to unlimited use, 2.37 million acres open to use on existing roads and trails, 539,640 acres open to designated trails, and 126,360 acres closed to vehicle use; development of access to 19 acres via new road construction, land ownership adjustment, easement acquisition, and/or condemnation; exclusion of 264,870 acres from development of rights-of-way and designation of 783,400 acres for avoidance of rights-of-way consideration; withdrawal of 64,000 acres from locatable mineral entry in the Apache Box, Guadalupe Canyon, Organ/Franklin Mountains, and Paleozoic Trackways ACECs; prohibition of mineral entry in all ACECs and the two above-mentioned trail corridors (331,950 acres); closure of 266,950 acres to fluid mineral entry; designation of two new special management recreational areas (SMRAs) in addition to the two existing SMRAs; and implementation of specific cultural, paleontological, wildlife, soil, air, and water resource management stipulations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would provide a comprehensive framework for managing public land and for allocating resources during the coming 20 years, based on the principles of multiple use and sustained yield. The plan would establish areas for limited, restricted, and exclusive uses, levels of production, allowable resource uses, resource condition objectives, program uses and constraints, and general management direction. Land tenure adjustments and recreational activities would result in net income increases. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some lands within ACECs that would be closed to mineral development would have been economically viable under certain mineral development schemes. Access would be lost due to disposal of large blocks of land unless easements are secured. Vehicle access would be eliminated south of Anapra Road and State Road near the Mexican border. Land disposal could result in surface and subsurface disturbances and the loss of associated vegetation and wildlife habitat. Livestock grazing elimination due to land tenure adjustments and administrative actions would result in some economic losses.

AN - 36410484; 3169 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resources management plan is proposed for 129,000 acres of federal lands and 167,500 acres of federal mineral estate within the South Coast Planning Area of California. The 167,500 acres of mineral estate involve lands where the surface ownership is privately owned (termed split-estate lands). The 129,000 acres of holdings, which include surface as well as subsurface federal ownership, consist of 296 separate parcels scattered throughout portions of five southern California counties; approximately 95 percent of the lands are in San Diego and Riverside counties, while the remaining lands are in San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Orange counties. Under the preferred management plan for the San Diego County holdings, which include 65,000 acres of surface holdings and 74,000 acres of mineral estate lying in the mountainous area between Interstate Highway 8 and the United States-Mexico border, would involve designation of Cedar Canyon as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) for the protection of populations of a sensitive plant species, Mexican flannelbush; designation of the Kuchamaa ACEC for the protection of Native American religious values; implementation of habitat management in the vicinity of McAlmond Canyon and Hauser Mountain; protection of riparian values in the Fern Creek and Rainbow Creek parcels; and management of all public lands in the area of the Border Mountains Special Recreation Management Areas. Management of the Riverside-San Bernardino County area, which includes 30,000 acres of land and an additional 35,000 acres of subsurface mineral estate in the western portions of these counties outside the California Desert Conservation Area, would involve designation of three ACECs to protect Stephens' kangaroo rat, slender-horned spineflower, Santa Anna River woolly-star, and lands adjacent to the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve; management of habitat for sensitive species on lands at Oak Mountain, near Valle Vista, and in the Badlands area east of Riverside; establishment of the Poppet Flat Special Recreation Management Area; and implementation of land exchanges and disposals to rationalize land holdings. Management of the Beauty Mountain Management Area, which includes 28,500 acres of federal land and 21,500 acres of subsurface-only mineral estate lying north of State Highway 79, south of Cahuilla Indian Reservation, and west of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, would involve designation of two ACECs to protect watershed and riparian values and unique vegetation resources and research opportunities; designation of a wildlife habitat management area; establishment of the Beauty Mountain Special Recreation Management Area; and implementation of land tenure adjustments. Management of the Los Angeles-Orange County management area, which includes 5,500 acres of federal land and 36,000 acres of federal subsurface mineral estate in the portion of Los Angeles county outside the California Desert Conservation Area, would involve administrative adjustments through land disposal and transfer to other agencies, with approximately 1,200 acres considered suitable for jurisdictional exchange with the Forest Service; remaining lands would be considered suitable for disposal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to consolidating and rationalizing public land holdings in the planning areas, the management schemes would provide for protection of wildlife and plant life, including endangered and threatened species. Recreational and religious values would be protected, as would wetland and other water-related resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some land designations and management strategies would conflict with existing or proposed land uses. Land tenure adjustments would negatively affect some wildlife species and vegetation and would result in a net loss of open space.

AN - 36393787; 3189 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed for the 31,500 acre East Fork Blacks Fork drainage in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest of Utah. The analysis area is located along the eastern edge of the Evanston Ranger District. It is bordered by the district boundary on the north and east, by the wilderness boundary on the south, and by the dividing crest line between the Middle Fork and West Fork Blacks Fork drainages on the west. Approximately 13,000 acres of oil and gas leases have been applied for in the East Fork and Middle Fork of the Blacks Fork River drainage. Vegetation manipulations proposed for the area include habitat improvement projects for elk and deer transition ranges, timber harvesting, insect and disease control projects, and scenic corridor management along the East Fork Blacks Fork Road. Internal and public concerns have indicated the need for decisions on the transportation system and management of the East Fork Blacks Fork Sheep Driveway. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are evaluated for management of the analysis area. Selection of an action alternative would result in silvicultural treatment on 996 or 1,671 acres to generate 700,000 or 3.1 million board feet of sawtimber, 10,000 poles, and 3,800 to 6,050 cords; designation of 5,400 or 6,800 of 21,435 acres, as available, for oil and gas leasing; construction of 2.2 or 3.1 miles of temporary road and 0.5 or 7.1 miles of specified road, and reconstruction of 1.0 mile of existing road to provide timber harvest access; construction of 5.0 miles of temporary road and reconstruction of 7.0 miles of road to provide access to oil and gas lease tracts; obliteration of 2.8 miles of road; an increase in the area available for use by snowmobiles from 18,900 acres to 20,900 or 24,900 acres; designation of 33 or 34 miles of trail for use by licensed off-road vehicle owners and 8 to 33 miles for use by unlicensed users; and construction of up to 14 miles of wire fence and 1.0 to 1.5 miles of buck and pole fence. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Any action alternative would improve the scenic quality along East Fork Blacks Fork Road. Each year, action alternatives would generate $8,750 or $38,750 in county revenues and $8,100 or $32,152 in state and federal revenues. Habitat diversity would increase significantly, and transition range for big game would improve. Silvicultural treatments would contribute to the local economy and sustained yield goals in the overall national forest plan. Hunting opportunities in the area would increase. Riparian habitat currently judged to be in an unsatisfactory state would improve significantly over 10 to 20 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: All alternatives, except the No Action Alternative, would result in a decrease in the vertical diversity of forest vegetation over time. Substantial increases in trucking costs could force some ranchers out of business. Trailing and/or trucking could affect the recreational experience in the area, and fences could degrade visuals. Under one action alternative, the extent of unroaded area could decrease from 14,500 acres to 12,600 acres. LEGAL MANDATES: National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).
