T1  - EAGLE MOUNTAIN LANDFILL PROJECT, RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36402038; 3158
AB  - PURPOSE: Development of a Class III nonhazardous solid waste landfill is proposed in an unused open-pit mine located at Eagle Mountain in northeastern Riverside County, California. Eagle Mountain is located in the California Desert Conservation Area. The project site, which consists of approximately 4,695 acres of federal and patented lands, lies approximately 10 miles north of Interstate 10 and the community of Desert Center and 8,000 feet south of the Joshua Tree National Monument. Some 3,271 acres of land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) would be transferred to Kaiser Steel Resources, Inc. in exchange for land currently owned by Kaiser. The transferred BLM lands would be used for operation of the landfill and the Kaiser lands transferred to BLM would be preserved to provide quality wildlife habitat on the Chuckwalla Bench. The landfill would comprise 2,727 acres. At full-scale operation, the landfill would accept an inflow of up to 20,000 tons of solid waste per day from throughout southern California; of this daily total, 16,000 tons would be shipped in containers along the Southern Pacific main line to a rail junction at Ferrum, from which it would be transported along the 52-mile Eagle Mountain rail line to the landfill. The remaining 4,000 tons of containerized waste delivered to the site each day would be transported via truck. The project would be served by a network of rail and truck transfer stations to be located throughout southern California. New rights-of-way would be issued for the entire length of the Eagle Mountain rail line, the existing Eagle Mountain Road, and the proposed Eagle Mountain Road Extension, which would begin just south of the Metropolitan Water District pumping station. The expected life of the landfill is 115 years. Implementation of the project would require amendment of the Riverside County General Plan and Zoning Ordinance and Map. The design of the landfill would provide for the use of a liner on the bottom and side slopes of the pit; a leachate collection, recovery, and treatment system; and a gas collection system. Measures for dust control and a number of other planning and monitoring requirements would be included in the project plan. All on-site drainage improvements for protection of run-on into the landfill would be sized to accommodate 100-year-frequency flows. In addition to the proposed landfill alternative, other alternatives include the No Action Alternative; a Reduced Landfill Operations Alternative, allowing for disposal of only 16,000 tons per day; and a Reduced Landfill Operations Alternative, with the 16,000 tons per day delivered by rail only. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the landfill at the 20,000-ton-per-day capacity would provide safe, adequate disposal of nonhazardous solid waste generated in the southern California area in the near and long terms. Land transferred to BLM by Kaiser Steel Resources, Inc. would mitigate impacts to wildlife created by landfill operations and provide for high-quality desert habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would contribute particulate and vehicle emissions to the Southeast Desert and South Coast air basins, a cumulative impact that would not allow for mitigation. As a result, air quality standards would be violated. Operation of the landfill and resumption of intensive use of the Eagle Mountain rail line could affect populations of desert tortoise and desert pupfish, both of which are federally listed endangered species. Use of groundwater in association with landfill operations would increase overdraft of the aquifer. Some level of health risk would result from potential exposure of local residents to landfill gas. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - ALL-AMERICAN CANAL LINING PROJECT, IMPERIAL COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36402586; 3210
AB  - PURPOSE: 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 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. Four alternatives and a No Action Alternative were considered. The new parallel canal would be constructed from a point one mile west of Pilot Knob to Drop 3. The new canal would have a top width approximately two-thirds that of the existing canal and would be 40 percent deeper. The plan would include mitigation measures for lost wetlands and reduction of fishery habitat. The estimated construction cost of the project is $85.5 million, while the estimated annual operation and maintenance cost increase is $24,000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Control of seepage from the AAC would help offset a projected water shortage of 1.2 million acre-feet in the coastal area of southern California by the year 2010. The preferred alternative would increase the usable supply of water from the Colorado River by approximately 67,000 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, 75 percent of which would be performed by local workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Reduction of seepage from the canal would endanger wetland habitat induced along the canal by seepage. Wetland losses would 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 affect the flat-tailed horned lizard and the Colorado fringe-toed lizard, both of which are special status species. Creation of a concrete canal would also reduce the availability of fish habitat within the canal. 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, reduction of seepage would reduce groundwater recharge in the Mexicali Valley. If 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. 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.

T1  - JUDITH-VALLEY-PHILLIPS RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, MONTANA.
AN  - 36409794; 3180
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for the Judith, Valley, and Phillips resource areas of Montana is proposed. 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 include land acquisition and disposal, access to federal lands, off-road vehicle use, oil and gas leasing and development, hardrock mining, riparian and wetland management within watersheds, elk and bighorn sheep habitat management, prairie dogs and black-footed ferret management, and areas of special concern, including 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 would involve acquisition of up to 631,719 acres and disposal of up to 166,021 acres; provision of new access to 71,793 acres and additional access to 1.1 million acres; year-round off-road vehicle (ORV) restrictions on 169,022 acres, seasonal restrictions on 803,116 acres, closure to ORV use of 3,565 acres within areas of critical environmental concern (ACEC); allowance of ORV use on 1.83 million acres; opening of 1.5 million acres to standard-term oil and gas leasing, 1.75 million acres to leasing with prohibitions on surface occupancy, and closure of 117,962 acres to leasing; withdrawal of 6,205 acres from hardrock mineral entry; improvement of riparian-wetland areas in 348 allotments with 595 stream miles and 5,850 water sources; maintenance or provision of elk habitat for expansion in the Missouri Breaks, Square Butte, and Highwood, Little Belt, Judith, Moccasin, and Snowy mountains areas (660,140 acres); provision for 12,346 acres of prairie dog towns in the Phillips Resource Area for black-footed ferret reintroduction, associate species, recreational viewing, and prairie dog shooting; maintenance of existing prairie dog towns on 800 acres in the Valley Resource Area and 71 acres in the Judith Resource Area; designation of 4,566 acres within an ACEC to protect scenic qualities in the Judith and South Moccasin mountains; 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; designation of 1,947 acres as an ACEC to protect the rare cultural, scenic, and geologic features unique to Montana in the Square Butte Outstanding Natural Area (ONA); designation of 1,618 acres within Collar Gulch as an ACEC to protect a pure strain of westslope cutthroat trout, a Montana State Species of Special Concern; designation of 140 acres in the Azure Cave area as an ACEC to protect this geological site and the associated bat hibernaculum, which is the northernmost site for this type of habitat in the United States; and designation of 2,120 acres within the Henry Smith and Beaucoup sites as an ACEC to protect unusual and unique archaeological resources representing bison hunting 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 conversion of federal land to farmland and other economically productive land categories. Forestland would increase significantly due to land acquisition and disposal. Significant visual, cultural, recreational, and geological resources would be protected. 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. Surface occupancy prohibitions would negatively affect oil and gas lease developments, and hardrock mining would be restricted in some areas where such resources occur. Acquisition of riparian-wetland acreage could restrict access to areas along streams and rivers. Mining, oil and gas developments, and other exploitative land uses would result in impacts to vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, streams and the 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.).

T1  - KANSAS RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN.
AN  - 36406917; 3156
AB  - PURPOSE: Future options for managing the federally owned minerals, specifically the leasing of oil and gas resources, within the state of Kansas are identified and analyzed. The federally owned surface and mineral estate in Kansas encompasses more than 850,000 acres located in 90 of the 105 counties within the state. The Kansas Planning Area to be addressed in the proposed Resource Management Plan (RMP) consists of all surface and mineral estate administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), but not including the 108,000 acres located in Morton and Stevens counties, which are managed by the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service as the Cimarron National Grassland. Three RMP alternatives have been developed to describe the available options to BLM for administering federal oil and gas in Kansas. Alternative A, the Current Management Alternative, constitutes ""no action.'' Alternative C, the No Leasing Alternative, places primary emphasis on removing federal oil and gas from availability for development. Highest priority would be placed on protecting surface resources from disturbances caused by oil and gas development, and oil and gas leases would not be issued. Alternative B, the Intensive Surface Protection Alternative, is the preferred alternative. It would place primary emphasis on protecting important environmental values through the use of additional leasing stipulations. The goal of the proposed plan would be to change present management direction so that identified surface resource values are considered in the leasing process in a manner that provides additional protection for valuable surface resources. Under this management scheme, oil and gas leases would continue to be issued with the standard lease provisions, with surface resource protection stipulations required by executive order, law, regulation, or policy, as well as additional multiresource protection stipulations needed to protect valuable surface resources. Approximately 596,000 acres would be open to leasing, and some 101,000 acres would be closed to oil and gas leasing. Additional multiresource protection lease stipulations would be required on approximately 50,000 acres, and lease notices identifying potentially important surface resources would be required on an additional 70,000 acres of the 596,000 acres open to leasing. It is estimated that approximately 20 wells would be drilled per year on federal oil and gas leases for a total of 300 wells over the 15-year planning period. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing hydrocarbon resources that would reduce the nation's dependence on foreign sources of oil, the lease developments would provide some boosts to local economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Road and drill pad development on 20 wells per year would produce small amounts of fugitive dust, vehicle exhaust emissions, and associated releases of carbon monoxide. Insignificant soil disturbances and vegetation losses are anticipated on the well sites. Construction of access roads and drill pads would result in the loss of approximately 4.25 acres of vegetation per well site. Cumulative vegetation losses regardless of rehabilitation success would be approximately 1,275 acres. Loss of vegetation would represent loss of wildlife habitat, and activities associated with drilling would also result in wildlife kills. Cultural and paleontological resources located in disturbed areas would be subject to damage and/or destruction. Waste drilling fluids could present a potential source of surface water pollution, and drilling and associated activities could result in aquifer pollution. 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 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED PLAN FOR FLOOD DAMAGE REDUCTION, LAS VEGAS WASH AND TRIBUTARIES (TROPICANA AND FLAMINGO WASHES), CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA.
AN  - 36402327; 3215
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a flood control plan for the floodplains of the Tropicana and Flamingo washes in Clark County, Nevada is proposed. The 226-square-mile study area, which is located in the Las Vegas Community and surrounding area, consists of the drainage basins of the Tropicana and Flamingo washes upstream of the Flamingo Wash confluence with the Las Vegas Wash. The recommended plan consists of detention basins, debris basins, new primary and collector channels, and downstream channel and bridge improvements and/or replacements within the existing developed areas. Downstream channel improvements would not occur below Tropicana basin. The plan would involve construction or modification of four detention basins (Red Rock, Blue Diamond, Flamingo, and Tropicana) and four debris basins (R-4, F-1, F-2, and F-4); channelization of releases from Red Rock, R-4, F-1, and F-4 dams to Flamingo Dam; channelization of the releases from Flamingo Dam and Blue Diamond Dam to Tropicana Dam; and channelization of the release from Tropicana Dam to a conduit beneath the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. Blue Diamond dam would be an off-channel structure of roller compacted concrete just north of the Blue Diamond Wash channel and Blue Diamond Road approximately 7.5 miles west of Interstate 15 on Blue Diamond Road; the basin would have a capacity of 2,300 acre-feet at the 100-year water surface and 4,050 acre-feet at the crest of the dam. Flamingo Dam, construction of which is scheduled to begin in 1991, would be an earthfill embankment with a basin having a storage capacity of 1,941 acre-feet. Red Rock Dam, which was completed in 1987, is located just east of West Charleston Boulevard. The compacted-earthfill structure would be modified to decrease the outlet capacity from 1,400 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 180 cfs and to increase the spillway discharge capacity from 23,000 cfs to 72,000 cfs. The remaining 38,000 cfs of the design flood flow of 110,000 cfs would be discharged over a spillway that would be constructed over the outlet works. The Tropicana Dam would be a detention structure, to be located southeast of the intersection of Decatur Boulevard and Russell Avenue, with an earthfill embankment having a basin capacity of 731 acre-feet, requiring excavation of 339,000 cubic yards from the basin area. The R-4, F-1, F-2, and F-4 debris basins would each consist of an earthfill embankment revetted with dumped stone. Channels would be constructed from Red Rock, R-4, F-1, F-2, and F-4 detention basins to the reservoir behind Flamingo Dam; from Flamingo and Blue Diamond detention basins to the Tropicana basin; and from Tropicana detention basin to a conduit through the Union Pacific Railroad embankment. Lateral collector channels would be integrated into the main channel system. Monetary compensation, mitigation, and impact minimization efforts would be implemented to compensate and reduce negative effects on desert tortoise habitat. The estimated cost of the project is $195.9 million, and the benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 1.1. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Project measures would provide full protection to the study area from the 100-year-frequency flood. Urban residential and commercial developments would benefit from flood protection, resulting in an average annual savings of $19.3 million. Provision of flood control would allow more residential units to be constructed per acre. Water quality in affected flows would be improved somewhat by the removal of sediment and debris that would settle out within the project basins. Detention basins would provide open space within an urban area and the visual effect of these areas would be pleasing. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Excavation of 6.0 million cubic yards of material to create or modify channels and basins would alter local topography. Facilities would impact 730 acres, representing six percent of the 13,000 acres within the project area. The affected area is predominantly creosote bush scrub, although some Mojave desert scrub and associated habitat of the endangered desert tortoise, are also in the affected area.

T1  - SHASTA OUTFLOW TEMPERATURE CONTROL, SHASTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36404784; 3133
AB  - PURPOSE: Utilization of the cold water resource of Shasta Lake to improve water temperatures along a 60-mile reach of the upper Sacramento River used by chinook salmon is proposed. The river segment runs between Keswick Dam and Red Bluff Diversion Dam. Chinook salmon were designated as a protected species under federal and state endangered species legislation. The upper Sacramento River is the largest and most important salmon stream in California, providing more spawning habitat for chinook salmon than any other river in the state. The river system supports four separate salmon runs. The population of each of the runs has declined by varying degrees over the past 20 years. In particular, the winter run has declined from a relatively stable population of more than 20,000 adults in the early 1970s to approximately 2,000 in the early 1980s to approximately 500 return spawners in 1989 and 1990. In 1987, as an interim improvement measure, releases were initiated from the Shasta Dam river outlet works (located at a lower elevation than the powerplant intake) specifically to access cooler water at critical times during the spawning cycle. Although this created better downstream temperature conditions, it was extremely costly in terms of foregone energy generation. The currently proposed action would involve installation of a shutter device on the upstream face of Shasta Dam to provide optimum control of water temperatures while maintaining hydropower generation and reservoir release schedules to meet downstream water supply demands. The shutter device would be a selective withdrawal structure installed at Shasta Dam. The device would provide the capability to selectively control water withdrawals from the lake over a wide range of depths and corresponding temperatures. The device would also provide a secondary benefit of selective withdrawals for turbidity and dissolved oxygen control. The shutter device would be a steel structure attached to the upstream face of Shasta Dam enclosing the five existing powerplant intakes. It would have five upper shutter units forming the 250-foot-wide by 300-foot-high shutter sections, with a combination of fixed panels and adjustable shutters, or gates; three low-level intakes would form the 150-foot-wide by 300-foot-high lower section that would access the coldest water. Due to the urgent nature of declining salmon populations, the Bureau of Reclamation is recommending immediate construction of the shutter device. Specification designs are scheduled for completion in early June 1993, and construction could be completed as early as March 1995. Legislation that would have authorized construction and funding was introduced in the 101st session of Congress; that legislation, however, was not enacted. Similar legislation was introduced in the 102nd Congress, first session, in the spring of 1991, but has not as yet been enacted. Authorization to complete the design and specifications, and to install the anchor system, is also being considered in this session of Congress. The estimated cost of the shutter device is $50.0 million, to be allocated over a 25-month construction period. The benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 2.28. POSITIVE IMPACTS: While generally improving fishery conditions in the upper Sacramento River, the cold water releases would particularly enhance the winter runs of chinook salmon. The bald eagle would benefit from an increased food base and foraging opportunities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: NONE. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and River and Harbor Act of 1937 (60 Stat. 844, 850).

T1  - ALBUQUERQUE DISTRICT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT, NEW MEXICO: OIL AND GAS LEASING DEVELOPMENT.
AN  - 36406001; 3089
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan focusing on oil and gas development in the Albuquerque District of New Mexico is proposed. The district encompasses approximately 4.3 million surface acres and 5.6 million acres of subsurface oil and gas mineral estate, covering the north half of New Mexico. The plan identifies and analyzes the future options for managing the federal mineral estate situated within and administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Albuquerque District through the Farmington, Rio Puerco, and Taos resource areas. Three alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, were developed and analyzed. The primary emphasis of the preferred alternative would be on the protection and preservation of cultural, visual, recreational, wildlife, and paleontological resource values, particularly those located in Special Management Areas (SMAs). Existing policy and decisions for some SMAs would be changed. Management constraints would be placed on a number of SMAs, and some areas now closed to leasing would be opened with management constraints. Stipulations would be attached to new leases issued in SMAs. Development of existing leases would continue according to the terms of each lease. BLM would continue to implement Section 6 of lease form 3100-11, requiring lessees to conduct operations in a manner that would minimize adverse impacts to resources, land uses, and users. Management of other public lands and resources would continue according to the policy and decisions established in previous planning documents. In the Albuquerque District, 4,542 wells would be developed to produce 1.443 million barrels of oil and 94.6 billion cubic feet of gas. Approximately 151,790 acres would be closed to leasing and development to provide for protection of wilderness values. In the Farmington Resource Area, 4,465 wells would be developed to produce 1.428 million barrels of oil and 94.3 billion cubic feet of gas. Approximately 6,563 acres would be closed to leasing and development to provide for protection of wilderness values. In the Rio Puerco Resource Area, 47 wells would be developed to produce 7,660 barrels of oil and 162.4 million cubic feet of gas. Approximately 112,227 acres would be closed to leasing and development to provide for protection of wilderness values. In the Taos Resource Area, 30 wells would be developed to produce 7,660 barrels of oil and 162.4 million cubic feet of gas. Approximately 33,000 acres would be closed to leasing and development to provide for protection of wilderness values. If released by Congress from wilderness study, a wilderness study area in the district or any of the three resource areas would be open to leasing and development. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Production of oil and gas from the four study areas would enhance the nation's independence from foreign sources of oil, while improving local and regional economies in northern New Mexico. Royalties generated in the Albuquerque District and Farmington, Rio Puerco, and Taos resources areas would amount to $23.3 million, $23.2 million, $51,300, and $51,300, respectively. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Oil and gas development activities in the Albuquerque District and Farmington, Rio Puerco, and Taos resources areas would disturb 29,578, 28,130, 620, and 828 surface acres, respectively. Visual resource management Class I and II objectives would not be met on 7,072 acres and 17,432 acres, respectively, in the Albuquerque District and 10,758 acres and 20,437 acres, respectively, in the Farmington Resource Area. Approximately 13,530 acres would not meet Class II visual resource management objectives in the Rio Puerco Resource Area. The amount of acreage available for undeveloped recreation would decline, and impacts could occur to undeveloped camp sites. Critical big game winter range would be disturbed. Habitat losses could result in a reduction of deer, elk, and antelope populations. Cultural resource sites would be damaged due to development and vandalism resulting from improved access. Clearance of forestland in all study areas would reduce sawtimber, fuelwood, and stumpage outputs. 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 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.).

T1  - LOWER DESCHUTES RIVER MANAGEMENT PLAN, OREGON.
AN  - 36403634; 3110
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 of 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. Under the preferred alternative, the management objectives would be to allow overall use levels to increase slightly over the base year 1988 levels while reducing both peak recreational use levels and conflicts between user groups. Facility development to accommodate recreational activities such as camping, boating, fishing, and vehicle-oriented activities would occur so long as the natural character of the areas was not significantly changed and natural values, such as soil, water, vegetation, wildlife habitat, and cultural resources, were protected and, wherever possible, enhanced. Regimentation and controls would be accomplished through regulations, fees and, as a last resort, a limited entry system. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Natural resource conditions within the canyon would improve significantly. 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. Recreational use levels, access, and the quality of recreational experiences would be enhanced. Canyon-related economics would be improved, and law enforcement, emergency services responsiveness, and fire management would improve as well. Protection of private land and property rights would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Road, trail, and recreational facility construction would result in displacement and compaction of soils and short-term degradation of visual quality in recreational and scenic areas. Prescribed burning would degrade air quality in localized areas temporarily. Areas suitable for undeveloped recreation could become unsuitable for this type of experience if they are allocated to other land uses. LEGAL MANDATES: Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.).

T1  - LOW-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE FACILITY, WARD VALLEY, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36406872; 3130
AB  - PURPOSE: 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 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 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. A BLM right-of-way must also be granted to provide access to the facility between Interstate 40 (I-40) and the northern property boundary of the facility. 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, 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 longer half-lives. Class C waste is composed principally of radionuclides with longer half-lives. No high-level radioactive wastes or nuclear weapons-related wastes nor 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: Establishment and operation of the facility would allow California to meet its federal mandate to dispose of low-level radioactive wastes. The project would also provide a facility for similar wastes from three other states. A safe, efficient means would be provided for the disposal of the target wastes. 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. Operation and subsequent management of the site would result in some safety hazards because of possible safety-system failures; these impacts could affect water and air quality, associated human health status, and the biological resources of the surrounding desert environment. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.) and Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act of 1980 (P.L. 99-240). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 90-0196D, Volume 14, Number 3.

T1  - ANTIETAM NATIONAL BATTLEFIELD, WASHINGTON COUNTY, MARYLAND.
AN  - 36393474; 3033
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a management plan for the Antietam National Battlefield in Washington County, Maryland is proposed. Antietam National Battlefield, which covers 1,800 acres, lies in a rural area of south Washington County; the predominant land use is agriculture. The battlefield was established as an historic site in 1890 to commemorate the single bloodiest day of the American Civil War. According to many historians, the battle was a major turning point in the Civil War. Today, Antietam is considered one of the best preserved Civil War sites in the national park system. Of the 3,245 acres within the battlefield boundary, 946 are owned in fee by the Federal Government, 865 are privately owned, and 1,434 are in private ownership with easements held by the Federal Government that restrict the levels and types of allowable development. Antietam attracts approximately 150,000 visitors per year, most of whom come to tour the battlefield and learn about the events associated with the battle. Three alternatives for future management, including the No Action Alternative, were evaluated. Under the preferred plan, the battlefield would be restored to its approximate appearance on the eve of the battle of September 17, 1862. In addition, the plan would simplify the existing automobile tour route, incorporate new interpretive features and media, and establish cooperative arrangements to preserve the landscape in and near the battlefield. Roads that did not exist at the time of the battle and are not critical for visitor access would be removed. Roads to be removed would include Starke Avenue, Cornfield Avenue, Confederate Avenue, and the modern road paralleling Bloody Lane. Road segments that are on 1862 alignments and are not necessary for visitor access or resident circulation would be restored to historic trace conditions. Portions of Old Hagerstown Pike, Smoketown Road, the Mumma farm road, and most of Bloody Lane would be restored. Historically significant structures would be rehabilitated and/or maintained. The plan would reestablish approximately 345 acres of woods within the current park boundary at the time of the battle, including 75 acres to the west, 19 acres to the north, and 39 acres to the east. Approximately 35 acres of orchards would be replanted. Paved roads in the park would be reduced by 3.4 miles. Interpretation would focus on the sites of the three major battle phases: the historic cornfield, Bloody Lane, and Burnside Bridge. Some new roads and parking areas would be developed to provide access to these sites. Approximately 220 acres would be acquired on a willing-seller basis to allow for restoration of woods and construction of new interpretive facilities; 140 acres would be donated by the Conservation Fund, resulting in a 95-acre boundary expansion. Alterations would be made in the visitors center. Because it is a modern intrusion in an otherwise historic area, when the visitors center reaches the end of its useful life, it will be removed and its functions relocated to a new building away from the battlefield site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Proposed restoration actions would return the battlefield to its historically appropriate appearance. Interpretation facilities would be improved, additionally enhancing the experience of visitors. Although some new developments would be introduced, they would be designed and sited to minimize their intrusion. Transportation system changes would be designed to assure access to local facilities and residences. The proposed action would have a beneficial effect on the natural environment by recovering a net total of 7 acres of prime and unique farmlands, reestablishing approximately 345 acres of limestone forest woodlands, increasing habitat diversity, providing additional habitat for the state-listed endangered loggerhead shrike and the state-proposed threatened white trout-lily, decreasing automobile emissions in the park, and reducing erosion into Antietam Creek at Burnside Bridge. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Changes in park roads would affect local traffic patterns. Under rules governing management of the battlefield, commemorative groups would no longer be able to erect monuments on the battlefield. LEGAL MANDATES: Public Law 86-438.

T1  - REDDING RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, BUTTE, SHASTA, SISKIYOU, TEHAMA, AND TRINITY COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36408034; 3030
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed 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) of Butte, Shasta, Siskiyou, Tehama, and Trinity counties, California. Public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) comprise 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, 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 undergo resource use with natural values consideration; and the Sacramento River Management Area would undergo enhancement of natural and cultural values. The Horseshoe Ranch Habitat Management Area would be doubled 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 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 for sustained yield forestry, deer winter range habitat, special status species protection, and dispersed recreation. The Interlakes Special Recreation Management Area between Kent, Central Valley, Whiskeytown, and French Gulch would be managed for 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 Area, including lower Paynes Creek and Battle Creek below Manton Road, would be managed for natural values, semiprimitive recreational opportunities, and 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 U.S. Forest Service, state and local governments, and qualified organizations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Full implementation of the plan would result in public stewardship of 126.5 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 deer winter range would have long-term protection in the Weaverville and Whiskeytown deer herds. Scenic quality would be protected in all publicly held 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 15,000 acres of wetland habitat would be protected in the Shasta Valley and between 200 and 300 acres of additional wetlands in the Sacramento River area would be protected, resulting in increases in waterfowl populations of 15 to 25 percent and 60 to 80 percent, respectively. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Slight degradation would occur in 4,079 acres of existing public land deemed suitable habitat for the northern spotted owl. Federal management authority would be lost vis-a-vis 150 to 700 archaeological sites. Public land transfers could also result in degradation of visual qualities in the Yolla Bolly, Klamath, and Ishi managment areas. Land transfers could result in subsequent developments that would degrade wetlands and deer range. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - SAND AND GRAVEL MINING, CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, GEORGIA.
AN  - 36409215; 3068
AB  - PURPOSE: Issuance of permits for sand and gravel mining within the boundaries of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (NRA) of Georgia is proposed. The NRA, which is located within and near the city of Atlanta, is a narrow strip of private and public land along a 48-mile stretch of the Chattahoochee River extending from Buford Dam (river mile 348.3) to Peachtree Creek (river mile 300.5). New permit applicants are Embry Farms and Minerals Unlimited. Several other commercial interests have applied for renewal of their existing permits to dredge in the NRA. These include Williams Brothers Construction Company, Incorporated; Shakerag Sand Company; C. D. Milam Corporation; Alpha Asphalt Incorporated; Ace Sand Company; and Stamp's Sand Company. In addition to the issuance of no permits (Alternative A), six alternatives are under consideration. Alternative B would involve issuance of individual permits to applicants who would be willing and able to comply with requirements and conditions that could be written into permits. Surveys for threatened and endangered species and for cultural resources would be required for all proposed new dredging areas. Alternatives C1 and C2 would add stipulations involving a minimum distance of 160 meters between adjacent dredging operations to eliminate spatial overlap of environmental impacts to water quality (C1) and trout populations and habitat quality (C2). Permits issued under Alternative C3 would require a minimum distance of 1,600 meters between adjacent dredging operations to ensure that no visitor to the NRA would be able to view two dredges simultaneously. Alternative D would entail the issuance of a regional permit for sand and gravel in the NRA. The permit requirements under Alternative D would include the general and special conditions that would be included in individual permits under alternatives B, C1, C2, and C3. POSITIVE IMPACTS: River sand and gravel would continue to allow for local sources of concrete constituents. Gravel could also be used for fill material and as a filtering layer in domestic septic systems. Allowing local Atlanta interests to mine sand and gravel from the Chattahoochee River would enable the local construction industry interests to be independent of sand and gravel sources outside the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging operations would create turbidity and alter the bottom topography of the river. Dredges would mar the visual aspect of the river for recreational users. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED REVISION TO THE PERMANENT PROGRAM REGULATIONS IMPLEMENTING SECTION 522(e) OF THE SURFACE MINING CONTROL AND RECLAMATION ACT OF 1977 (REGULATORY DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT).
AN  - 36405219; 3014
AB  - PURPOSE: Revisions of regulations implementing Section 522(e) of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) of 1977 are proposed. Section 522(e) prohibits, subject to demonstration of valid existing rights (VER), surface coal mining operations on lands within units of the National Park System, the National Wildlife Refuge System, the National System of Trails, the National Wilderness Preservation System, the National System of Wild and Scenic Rivers, and National Recreation Areas designated by act of Congress. In addition, surface mining operations without VER are prohibited (with certain exceptions) if they will adversely affect places listed on the National Register of Historic Places or any publicly owned park or are within a national forest. Such operations also are prohibited within 100 feet of cemeteries and public roads and within 300 feet of occupied dwellings, public buildings, schools, churches, and public parks. The prohibitions in Section 522(e) of SMCRA apply to all surface coal mining operations unless an operator holds valid existing rights for the area in question or unless an operation existed at the time SMCRA was passed. The currently proposed regulation revisions would establish standards for demonstrating VER to mine in areas where Congress otherwise prohibited mining under Section 522(e) and would clarify the applicability of the Section 522(e) prohibitions to subsidence effects of underground mining. Once selected, the proposed rule would revise the VER standard in the Office of Surface Mining's permanent program regulations at 30 CFR 761.5. Another portion of the proposed VER rule pertains to coal exploration. If mining operators intend to sell coal mined during coal exploration, then they must obtain a mine permit before commencing activities. The rule would simply clarify that, if these mining operators intend to explore in a 522(e) area, a VER determination would be required before the regulatory authority could issue a mine permit. No VER determination would be required for other types of exploration activities, including valuation of the mineral resource. Because states apply Section 522(e) to underground mining differently, this draft environmental impact statement examines the alternative options regarding the applicability of 522(e) to subsidence from underground mining operations. Four options are considered for establishing VER and five options for the application of 522(e) to subsidence, resulting, due to the various combinations, in a total of 11 possible rulemaking alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Simplification and clarification of the 522(e) regulations would allow for consistent application to surface mining proposals and clarify the application of Section 522(e) to subsidence problems associated with underground mining. Control of the potential adverse impacts of surface and underground mining, including impacts to recreational and scenic resources, hydrology, and wetlands, would be simplified, while valid property rights would be sustained. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Subsidence and other topographic alterations, groundwater degradation and other hydrologic impacts, and wetland losses would continue to result from mining operations in some areas. LEGAL MANDATES: Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements (EISs), draft and final supplements 1, and draft supplement 2, see 79-0006D, Volume 3, Number 1; 79-0431F, Volume 3, Number 5; 82-0476D, Volume 6, Number 8; 83-0054F, Volume 7, Number 2; and 88-0359D, Volume 12, Number 11-12, respectively.

T1  - HOOSIER NATIONAL FOREST LAND AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, INDIANA, AMENDMENT #2.
AN  - 36409046; 3032
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a 10-year land and resource management plan for the Hoosier National Forest in Indiana is proposed. The forest lies in the south-central portion of Indiana in an unglaciated, upland area. The preferred alternative would provide areas that would be reserved for continuous canopy mature forests and areas that would be managed to provide recreational opportunities, wildlife habitat, timber, and other opportunities desired by the public. Approximately 33 percent of the forest would be classified as suitable for timber production. Harvest methods would vary, but uneven-aged management would predominate. Possible methods would include thinning, single-tree selection, group selection, shelterwood, and clearcutting. New lakes would be constructed, and historic wetlands would be restored where possible. Native glades and other forest communities, as well as the current level of forest openings would be maintained, although a significant portion of the existing areas would be allowed to revert to forest openings, and new openings would be developed in areas managed to emphasize this type of habitat. In addition to the Charles C. Deam Wilderness areas, this alternative would establish 20 core areas ranging in size from 255 acres to 7,240 acres. Vegetation management would not be allowed in core areas. Backcountry experiences would be provided in four management areas. Road access for public motorized vehicles would be provided around the perimeter of large tracts of the forest where off-road parking would also be provided. Oil, gas, and mineral activities would be considered incompatible uses on the entire forest. The Lost and Little Blue rivers would be studied for potential inclusion in the National System of Wild and Scenic Rivers. Both rivers have been determined to be eligible. The probable classification of segments of both rivers are scenic and recreational. Each of the four units of the forest would include large natural-appearing areas where no commercial timber management would be allowed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By providing for a mixed use of resources, the preferred management scheme would allow both recreational and commercial uses of the forest while protecting forest resources for future generations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Silvicultural and road construction activities would cause temporary changes in the landscape. Ground debris, understory vegetation disturbance, and open corridors would also affect visual aspects of the forest. Silvicultural activities, road construction, and prescribed burning would degrade local air quality, disrupt recreational uses, and adversely affect soil productivity. Some wildlife populations would decline. LEGAL MANDATES: National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

T1  - FLOOD CONTROL MASTER PLAN, CLARK COUNTY REGIONAL FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT, LAS VEGAS VALLEY, CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA.
AN  - 36408150; 3071
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of flood control facilities in the Las Vegas Valley of Clark County, Nevada are proposed. The study area encompasses 984 square miles in southeastern Nevada and includes portions of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, Henderson, and unincorporated portions of Clark County. Flood control facilities would include reinforced concrete pipelines, precast boxes, lined and unlined channels, floodways, dikes and levees, detention and debris basins, and bridges. Under the preferred plan, known as the Detention/Conveyance Alternative, a series of detention basins would be developed to reduce peak flows to levels that would be accepted by the existing downstream conveyance system with little or no major capacity improvements. The general configuration and spatial location of the system would involve a number of large detention basins designed to slow the release of water to a series of interrelated facilities, including lined and unlined channels, reinforced concrete pipelines, conduits, and floodways. A 10-year facilities construction plan has been developed for fiscal years 1988-1989 through 1997-1998. Most of the construction effort would be directed toward construction of lined channels. Eighty channel segments would be constructed, representing an estimated 294,500 linear feet of construction. Eighteen box conduits and 28 box culverts would be built, along with 14 dikes/levees, extending a total length of 78,050 linear feet; most of the latter would be placed around the perimeter of the valley. The 10-year facilities would also include 19 pipeline segments (12,840 linear feet), 13 bridges (1,900 linear feet), and 5 floodways (80,000 linear feet). Miscellaneous facilities include one set of inlet works, one set of outlet works, and two culverts. A total of 21 detention basins and 1 debris basin, covering a total of 1,426 acres, would be provided. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The provision of flood protection to one of the fastest growing urban centers in the nation would help prevent loss of life and property during flash flood events in the historical floodplains and alluvial fans. The centralized plan would ensure a concerted, organized approach to flood control where current protection measures are fragmented. Of all the plans under consideration, the preferred plan would provide the greatest potential for multiuse recreational facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The plan would result in 100.84 miles of construction disturbance for linear facilities, such as channels, pipelines, and dikes/levees, as well as 2.23 square miles of disturbance from construction of detention and debris basins. Structural measures could be subject to seismic activity, soil movement, and strong winds. The presence of caliche soils and shallow groundwater could interfere with routine construction, requiring special construction practices. Structural measures could interfere with mining claims. Flood discharges from the project area could result in downstream flooding. Botanical and other wildlife resources could be affected by construction activities and the existence of facilities. Facilities would constitute topographic alterations and visual disturbances. Archaeological, historical, and Native American resources would be impacted. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - STONE CABIN MINE, OWYHEE COUNTY, IDAHO.
AN  - 15225347; 3025
AB  - PURPOSE: Development of an open-pit gold and silver mine in the Owyhee Mountains, Owyhee County, Idaho is proposed. The Stone Cabin Mine would be located partially on public lands within the Boise District in southern Idaho. More specifically, the mine would be situated on Florida Mountain, approximately 50 miles southwest of Boise and 1 mile west of Silver City, Idaho and approximately 20 miles east of Jordan Valley, Oregon. Focal issues include soils, surface water and groundwater, aquatic environments, botanical resources, wildlife resources, cultural resources, recreation, grazing, Silver City water supply, air quality, scenic quality, and social and economic conditions. Project features would include a mine pit, a five-mile-long haul road, two waste rock disposal sites, a cyanide heap leach facility, and expansion of the tailings dam and mill at the existing DeLamar Silver Mine to accommodate Stone Cabin Mine ore. Mining would occur in a large open pit located primarily on the western slope of Florida Mountain. High-grade ore would be hauled by truck to the DeLamar Mine for processing by conventional milling methods. Low-grade ore would be transported by truck to a new cyanide heap leach facility located on the western side of Jacobs Gulch approximately halfway between the DeLamar Mine and Florida Mountain. Rock having insufficient precious metal values to process via milling or heap leaching would be placed in waste rock disposal areas in Rich Gulch and Jacobs Gulch. Waste rock would also be used to construct haul roads and to backfill depleted mine pits. Topsoil would be salvaged during construction of the mine pits, haul road, heap leach pad, waste disposal areas, and other project components and subsequently used for reclamation. The project life of the mine would be 10 to 30 years, depending on the results of ongoing exploration activities. The mine would operate on a year-round basis. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Production of gold and silver would increase the nation's supply of these two precious metals. Direct employment would increase local job rolls by 120 positions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Erosion of soil placed for reclamation would continue after reclamation due to the poor quality of the soil; this would restrict the reestablishment of vegetation. Three to five years of recovery time would be required to return surface water quality to preproject levels. More than one mile of three headwater tributaries would be inundated by waste piles. Groundwater recharge could be reduced slightly by waste dumps and the heap leach pad. More than one mile of upper Jacobs and Rich gulches would be inundated by waste piles. Discharges from the Jacobs Gulch sediment pond could temporarily reduce benthos and redband trout in Jacobs Gulch and in Jordan Creek just downstream of Jacobs Gulch. Approximately 183 acres of native plant communities and associated habitat, visual, recreational, and grazing values, in an area that could not be reclaimed, would be lost. Native forest and shrub communities would be lost during reclamation activities. Forage losses would amount to 27 animal unit months. Project measures would destroy 28 cultural resource sites. Eventual mine closure would result in the outmigration of 27 percent of the Jordan Valley population. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - HAYDEN HILL PROJECT, LASSEN COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 15224500; 3023
AB  - PURPOSE: Issuance of a permit to Lassen Gold Mining, Inc. is proposed to allow for operation of an open-pit gold and silver mine in northern Lassen County, California. The mine, to be known as the Hayden Hill Project, would cover 2,800 acres of private and federal land, including land within the Modoc National Forest and the Susanville District of the Bureau of Land Management. The site is located west of State Highway 139, approximately 50 miles northwest of Susanville. Focal issues include those associated with site geology, topography, soils, vegetation, wildlife, water resources, air quality, socioeconomics, land uses, cultural resources, visual resources, transportation, recreation, and noise. The operation would use conventional heap leach and milling processes to recover metal values from a shallow epithermal deposit. Drilling, blasting, and truck/loader operations typical of such a mine operation would be utilized to extract ore and remove overburden and waste material. Plant growth media would be stripped from all disturbed areas to a minimum depth of 12 inches, where available, and stockpiled. Ore would be processed over an eight-year period at a rate of approximately 6.0 million tons per year, including 1.3 million tons of millable material and 4.7 tons of heap leach material. Approximately 45.3 million tons of ore, including 9.6 tons of millable grade material, 35.7 million tons of heap leach material, and 85.7 million tons of waste rock, would be mined from the pit. Ore processing facilities would include a preparation area with crushing equipment, an ore stockpile area, one heap leach pad, a mill, solution containment ponds, one tailings impoundment, and a metals recovery system. Lower grade ore would be leached with a dilute sodium cyanide solution. Higher grade ore would be milled, utilizing a carbon-in-pulp circuit. A double liner system and leak detection system would be provided for the heap leach facility and the processing ponds. The cyanide heap leach facilities would be designed as a zero discharge (or closed) system. Tailings from the mill would be deposited in a lined impoundment located near the mill; the impoundment facility would eventually contain 9.6 million tons of tailings. Hayden Hill Road would be upgraded to accommodate increased traffic, and other access roads would be constructed. Electrical power would be provided by a three-phase 69-kilovolt overhead transmission line, extending from the Surprise Valley Electrification Corporation substation near Adin, approximately 17 miles to the north. The power demands for the project would be 9,500 kilowatts connected load. The mining and processing operations would require a maximum freshwater supply of 1,000 gallons per minute, provided by groundwater well fields in the Preston Canyon and Bunselmeier Springs areas. Full monitoring and reclamation activities would be implemented. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Production of gold and silver would increase the nation's supply of these two precious metals. Long-term operations would employ 210 full-time employees, 110 of which would be local residents. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: At project completion, approximately 950 acres would be disturbed, destroying wetlands and vegetation, displacing farmland and commercial timberland, and exposing soil to wind and water erosion. Low sagebrush and Jeffrey Pine/Mountain Shrub vegetation could be difficult to reestablish. Wildlife habitat associated with the removed vegetation would also be lost. Some springs and seeps and natural drainage patterns near the mine pit would be altered, and pumping from wells could affect the regional water table. Development and growth, which could be induced along the power line corridor, would add to the demand for local governmental and other services. The Hayden Hill townsite and fire tower, both of which possess historical significance, would be disturbed or destroyed, and access to the Hayden Hill cemetery would be hampered somewhat. Mining and milling activities would alter the topography of the site. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.), and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

T1  - DIVIDE CREEK UNIT COAL-BED METHANE PROJECT, GARFIELD AND MESA COUNTIES, COLORADO.
AN  - 36406911; 3017
AB  - PURPOSE: Continued coal-bed methane development is proposed in the 25,746-acre Divide Creek Unit of Garfield and Mesa counties, Colorado. The unit, which is located approximately 10 miles south of Silt, Colorado, contains land managed by the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), as well as private lands. Geologically, the unit is located in the Piceance Basin, which contains an estimated 84 trillion cubic feet of coal-bed methane reserves, making the basin the second largest in the nation. Although the unit has been subjected to natural gas development since the late 1930s, development in the past has generally occurred a few wells at a time. In addition to the No Action Alternative, three alternatives were evaluated. Under the proposed action, during 1991 and 1992, Oryx Energy Company proposes to drill and complete 20 coal-bed methane wells, construct a gas treatment facility that would occupy approximately 10 acres on private land, construct two surface discharge stations covering two acres, and construct approximately 23.9 miles of access road and pipeline corridor. Of the 20 wells, 13 would be on National Forest System lands and 7 would be on BLM lands. Oryx's coal-bed methane wells would be drilled into the coal sequence where the actual coal seams range in thickness from 5 to 40 feet. One coal-bed methane well could be completed into more than one coal zone over a distance of 600 to 700 feet. Horizontal drilling would be utilized to extend the pay zone of the Cameo coals. Water production, a by-product of producing coal seams, would peak at approximately 12,000 barrels per day. Water would be treated prior to release, and the discharge would be required to comply with the Colorado Discharge Permit System program. Public Services Company of Colorado would install a 10-mile long, 25-kilovolt powerline to provide power to the proposed gas treatment facility. Most disturbed lands would be reclaimed immediately following initial project implementation activities. The estimated project life is 25 years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: During peak production, the unit would be capable of producing 20 million cubic feet of gas per day for sale, providing a source of fuel gas that would decrease the nation's dependence on foreign sources of energy. During peak activities, the project would employ 80 workers. Revenues to the two counties involved would be substantial. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the project would result in the disturbance of 141.4 acres. Approximately 47.8 acres would be committed to long-term industrial use and would be reclaimed only on project abandonment. Local roads would experience short-term increases in traffic levels. Powerline structures and other structural measures would impact visual aesthetics in the study area. Recreational use of the unit would be degraded. Forest species of vegetation, and associated wildlife habitat, would be displaced. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), and National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

T1  - US ROUTE 340, WARREN COUNTY, VIRGINIA (STATE PROJECT NO. 0340-093-118, PE-101, C501).
AN  - 36411169; 3057
AB  - PURPOSE: Improvement of 1.01 miles of US 340 in Warren County, Virginia is proposed. Existing US 340 serves as a major north-south corridor between the Massanutten and Blue Ridge Mountain ranges. Located in northwestern Virginia, the roadway extends from the West Virginia state line to Greensville, Virginia, paralleling Skyline Drive throughout most of its length. The project would begin at a point 1.013 miles south of the South Corporate Limits of Front Royal and extend north 1.01 miles to the South Corporate Limits of Front Royal at Criser Road. The project would upgrade the facility to a four-lane divided highway, with two 24-foot-wide pavements separated by a raised or depressed grass and/or forested median. Two build alternatives and the No Build option were evaluated. Both build alternatives would use 2.5-foot-wide curb-and-gutter sections on each side of the pavements. Alternative A would provide a 16-foot-wide raised grass median. Alternative B would provide a 100-foot-wide grass and/or forested median. Right- and left-turn lanes onto Routes 649 and 619, Criser Road, and the Skyline Drive entrance would be provided under either alternative. Both alternatives would involve relocation of the Skyline Drive entrance, but the relocation would be much more extensive under Alternative B. Alternative B would also require relocation of Route 649 (Browntown Road). The design of Alternative B is compatible with the development of a grade-separated interchange at the Shenandoah National Park entrance, while the design of Alternative A would not be compatible with such an interchange. To accommodate construction, Alternative A would require a minimum 99-foot-wide right-of-way and Alternative B would require a minimum 200-foot-wide right-of-way. The estimated costs of alternatives A and B are $2.9 million and $4.7 million, respectively. In addition, approximately $50,000 would be required for the purchase of this project's portion of an approximately $65,000 replacement parcel to be used to mitigate land needed for this and other highway projects involving encroachment into the Shenandoah National Park. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Either alternative would provide sufficient capacity to accommodate anticipated traffic volumes in the design year (2013), fulfilling the transportation needs of the area. Traffic increases due to growth in the population of Warren County since 1970 would be accommodated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for alternatives A and B would result in the displacement of 11.7 acres and 17.6 acres of forestland, respectively, within the Shenandoah National Park. Habitat associated with this land would be lost as well. Removal of forestland for highway use would constitute a visual impact; Alternative A would be less likely to provide a pleasing parklike environment along the project corridor than would Alternative B. Both alternatives would cross two intermittent tributaries of the South Fork Shenandoah River.

T1  - NORTHERN LITTLE MISSOURI NATIONAL GRASSLAND, OIL AND GAS LEASING, CUSTER NATIONAL FOREST, BILLINGS, GOLDEN VALLEY, McKENZIE, AND DUNN COUNTIES, NORTH DAKOTA.
AN  - 36402009; 3019
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resources management plan in association with federal oil and gas estate leasing within approximately 1.3 million acres of the Little Missouri National Grassland (LMNG) in western North Dakota is proposed. The lands, which are characterized by a complex federal and nonfederal ownership pattern, lie within the Custer National Forest in Billings, Golden Valley, McKenzie, and Dunn counties and constitute the northern two-thirds of the national grassland. The four actions/decisions necessary to address the management of the area are: (1) determination of which National Forest System and split estate (nonfederal surface ownership above federal mineral estates) lands within the administrative boundary of the LMNG are administratively available for oil and gas leasing; (2) authorization for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to offer specific National Forest System lands for leasing; (3) amendment of the Custer National Forest Land Management Plan to include the Uniform Format for Oil and Gas Lease Stipulations; and (4) identification of specific lease stipulations that would be applied to administratively available lands. Five alternatives (including the No Action Alternative) for oil and gas leasing were considered to address these proposed actions. Under the proposed action, all areas not specifically designated as subject to lease stipulations would be open to development under standard lease terms. Areas recommended for stipulations would include key wildlife habitat areas, slopes greater than 40 percent, woody draws, key visual areas, and key management areas. The Forest Service would authorize BLM to offer for lease all currently unleased parcels underlying National Forest System lands. All unleased federal minerals include split estate parcels that do not require Forest Service authorization prior to lease issuance by BLM. The reasonably foreseeable development scenario would involve primary concentration on the Bakken Formation over the next several years. Other formations located above and below the Bakken Formation could also produce recoverable amounts of oil and gas. No more than 675 wells would be in operation at any one time. Approximately 2.17 miles of new/upgraded roads would be required for new lease developments. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of the mineral leases would result in the production of substantial amounts of oil and gas, decreasing the nation's dependence on foreign sources of fuel. Activities associated with development would provide employment and otherwise enhance local and regional economic indicators. Lease stipulations, particularly stipulations prohibiting surface occupancy, would provide protection to sensitive lands and species. Federal oil royalties and state and county revenues from the leasing actions would result in substantial income for the governments involved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Well-pad construction, drilling, and road construction would result in land surface disturbances and associated loss of soils, vegetation, and wildlife habitat, including habitat for big game and mule deer. Approximately 740 acres of federal surface holdings and 409.6 acres of nonfederal surface holdings would be affected. Cultural resource sites and watershed hydrology and soils, including those associated with wetlands, would be affected. Lease development activities would alter the natural visual aspect of developed areas and could conflict with livestock operators. Construction of well pads and roads would displace 662 animal unit months of forage. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Onshore Oil and Gas Leasing Reform Act of 1987 (P.L. 100-203) and National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

T1  - GUNNISON RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, MONTROSE, GUNNISON, SAGUACHE, HINSDALE, AND OURAY COUNTIES, COLORADO.
AN  - 36411092; 3031
AB  - PURPOSE: Options for managing the 960,730 acres of public lands in the Gunnison planning area of the Gunnison Resource Area in west-central Colorado for the next 10 to 12 years are identified and analyzed. The management area lies within Hinsdale, Gunnison, Saguache, Montrose, and Ouray counties. The Gunnison and Uncompahgre national forests and the San Juan Resource Area (administered by the Bureau of Land Management) surround the planning area, except along the west-central boundary, which is bordered by the Cimarron River and the Uncompahgre Basin Resource Area boundary. The Bureau of Land Management has administrative responsibility for the public lands and resources on 585,012 surface acres and 728,600 acres of mineral estate within the planning area. Approximately 355,702 acres within the planning area are privately owned and 20,015 acres are owned by the state. In addition to the Continuation of the Current Management Alternative, four alternatives were evaluated. The preferred alternative management plan would provide direction and /or land allocation for mineral entry and location on 674,490 acres, energy resource exploitation, saleable minerals, soil and water resources, riparian zones, special status plant and animal species and habitat, wildlife habitat management, fishery resources, management of livestock grazing on 470,828 acres, forest management and annual harvest of 1.2 million board feet of commercial timber, recreation resources, wild and scenic rivers, visual resources, wilderness study areas (totaling 114,427 acres), archaeological and historical resources, paleontological resources, transportation and access, disposal of public land, acquisition of nonfederal lands, rights-of-way and rights-of-way corridors on 448,219 acres of public lands, fire management (76,624 acres under full suppression and 508,388 acres under conditional suppression), withdrawals and classifications, water power and storage reservoir sites, and areas of critical environmental concern (42,261 acres of public lands). POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would emphasize a mix and variety 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. Most wildlife habitats would improve. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Elimination of grazing, limitation of mineral and energy resource development in some areas, and prohibition of certain forestry activities in designated areas would restrict economically beneficial uses of the planning area. Ground disturbances, subsurface disturbances, and other encroachments due to economic exploitation of the planning area would result in impacts to soil, water, and air quality as well as associated recreational resources and wildlife habitats.

T1  - SLEEPING GIANT AND SHEEP CREEK WILDERNESS STUDY, LEWIS AND CLARK COUNTY, MONTANA.
AN  - 36404273; 3041
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed for the 6,487-acre Sleeping Giant Wilderness Study Area (WSA) and the 3,927-acre Sheep Creek WSA in Lewis and Clark County, Montana. The WSAs are located near Holter Lake, 30 miles north of Helena and 60 miles southwest of Great Falls. The two WSAs are adjacent to one another and are separated by a power line and an associated maintenance road; the 40-foot-wide power line right-of-way is owned and managed by the Montana Power Company. Approximately 4,327 acres (40 percent of the two WSAs) contain mineral estate that is entirely or partially owned by six private parties. Both areas are now designated as a single Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC). Two alternatives were considered for each of the two WSAs: All Wilderness and No Wilderness. The proposed management scheme would recommend designation of both WSAs for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System; no boundary modifications would be implemented. Both areas would continue to be managed under the Wilderness Interim Management Guidelines of the Bureau of Land Management until Congress acts to designate them as wilderness areas. The proposed action in this final environmental impact statement (EIS) is a reversal of the draft EIS, which recommended the No Wilderness Alternative. Issues receiving detailed evaluation for this study include wilderness values, livestock management, and impacts on mining decorative stone within the Sleeping Giant WSA and on wilderness values, livestock management, and grazing values within the Sheep Creek WSA. The 25-acre area of commercial decorative slate within the Sleeping Giant WSA would be closed to future mining activities. The current authorization of 225 animal unit months (AUMs) and 135 AUMs for livestock grazing within the Sleeping Giant WSA and Sheep Creek WSA, respectively, would continue; range management activities and planned projects for the Sleeping Giant allotment and for improving the allotment within the Sheep Creek WSA would not be affected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: National wilderness opportunities would be provided to residents of Helena and Great Falls. The skyline profile of the Sleeping Giant, an important local landmark, would be protected within a wilderness setting. Wilderness designation would best complement the surrounding land designations already established by other managing agencies over the long term. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities, which would otherwise have produced 420,000 tons of decorative slate annually, would be precluded. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - ARIZONA STRIP DISTRICT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, MOHAVE AND COCONINO COUNTIES, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36402370; 2970
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for 2.8 million acres of public lands known as the Arizona Strip, located in the northwest corner of Arizona, is proposed. Isolated from the rest of Arizona by the deep canyons of the Colorado River, this area is geographically, culturally, and economically linked with southern Utah. The district encompasses the northern portion of Mohave and Coconino counties. Planning issues include land tenure adjustments, recreation resources management, mineral resources management, access to public lands, cultural resources management, areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs), and other areas requiring special management. The preferred management alternative would provide programs for recreation, livestock grazing, mineral exploration and development, wildlife development and utilization, watershed resources, wild burros, woodland products, designated wilderness areas, cultural resources, visual resources, riparian areas, special status species, rights-of-way, and community expansion needs. A total of 13 special management areas, including 10 ACECs and 3 resource conservation areas, covering a combined area of 402,210 acres, would be included in the plan, along with management prescriptions for each area. Six ACECs would be established to protect cultural resources. Approximately 25,188 acres would be available for various public purposes around communities to meet long-term public needs, including airport development anticipated by the state over the next decade. Acquisition and exchange programs would focus on 161,800 acres of state lands. The management of 838,000 acres, mainly in remote areas, would focus on preserving natural backcountry characteristics and associated recreational values. Most of the district would continue to be open to mineral activities. All of the district would receive some form of off-road vehicle designation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would provide for a diverse combination of balanced uses, while accommodating a responsive approach to planning issues, resolution of conflicts, more focused management in areas with special values, and management objectives of adjacent federal lands. Multiple uses that now characterize management of the area would be reflected in the planning objectives. Land use and access restrictions would result in long-term benefits for watersheds, wetlands, and special status wildlife and plant species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Special management area status and other restrictions for some lands would limit the use of and access to some areas. Transfer of up to 17,170 acres could negatively affect mineral development on these lands, and the plan would result in seasonal oil/gas restrictions. Wildlife and vegetation would receive moderate, negative inputs. Mining activities could cause minor adverse impacts to surface water and could result in the dewatering of perched aquifers. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 89-0328D, Volume 13, Number 6.

T1  - SPIRIT MOUNTAIN PROPOSED COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL, AND RECREATIONAL LEASE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, FORT MOJAVE INDIAN RESERVATION, CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA AND SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36393198; 3002
AB  - PURPOSE: Development of a destination resort and a planned residential community on approximately 4,000 acres of land in the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation of Clark County, Nevada and San Bernardino County, California is proposed. The reservation is located approximately 125 miles south of Las Vegas and comprises an area of 5,582 acres in Clark County, Nevada; 12,663 acres in San Bernardino County, California; and 23,669 acres in Mohave County, Arizona. The reservation is located in the Mohave Valley and is bordered by the Black, Dead, and Newberry Mountain ranges. The proposed action, two alternatives, and a No Action Alternative for each development are analyzed. Under the preferred action, the Mojave Indian Tribe would lease two sites within this planned community to two separate developers, who would assist the tribe in specific planning, construction, financing, marketing, and management of these sites. The lease sites are located in Clark County, Nevada and San Bernardino County, California. The Movada Group, Inc. proposes to lease approximately 1,000 acres of Indian trust land for a period of approximately 75 years under the terms and conditions of the lease agreement. The American Land Development Corporation proposes to lease approximately 1,200 acres of Indian trust land for a period of 90 years under the terms and conditions of the lease agreement. The Movada Group would include a Town Center, three hotel/casinos with 2,000 rooms, 2,007 residential units, 30 acres of recreational vehicle spaces, 18-hole and 9-hole executive golf courses and associated facilities, a 75-acre lake, mixed office /retail uses, public facilities, a school, a neighborhood park, and other open spaces. The American Land Development Corporation would develop a residential complex adjacent to the Movada Group development. This development would include 10,280 residential units, an 18-hole golf course with associated facilities, a community park with an open-air amphitheater, neighborhood parks, mixed office/retail uses, and a school. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of the land would provide economic, social, and recreational benefits to current and future residents. Extensive economic benefits, including numerous jobs, would be provided to members of the Mojave Tribe, while social and recreational benefits would redound to tribe members and nontribal persons. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Consumptive uses would require a total of approximately 7,250 acre-feet of water annually to meet the needs of the project at build-out; this water would be removed from the Colorado River's near-surface aquifer and would not be available for other tribal activities or downstream uses. Approximately 2,200 acres of vegetation and associated wildlife habitat would be affected. Growth in the local population would increase pressure on air quality, transportation facilities, housing, school resources, and other social services. Facilities associated with the development would impinge visually on area aesthetics. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (P.L. 100-497). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 90-0342D, Volume 14, Number 5.

T1  - H.D. MOUNTAINS COALBED METHANE GAS FIELD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, SAN JUAN NATIONAL FOREST, ARCHULETA AND LA PLATA COUNTIES, COLORADO.
AN  - 36393343; 2959
AB  - PURPOSE: Development of a coalbed methane gas field project is proposed in the H.D. Mountains area of the San Juan National Forest east of Bayfield in Archuleta and La Plata counties, Colorado. Three alternatives are analyzed: the no action, proposed, and current direction alternatives. The proposed project would require issuance of a special-use 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 34 coalbed methane gas wells, 18 in the western corner and 16 in the southeast corner of the study area. Six 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 27.5 miles of new access road, production testing for coalbed methane, construction of production water and methane gas flowlines, and reclamation of all areas not needed for production, including well pads and nonsystem access roads in cases where wells are not productive. Wells would be drilled to depths of between 2,200 and 2,800 feet. Road access and well pad construction would begin by 1991. 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 1991. 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 into existing wells would disturb 84 acres, 141 acres, and 46 acres, respectively. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), and National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

T1  - EUGENE 0'NEILL NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE, CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36411742; 2973
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a 15-year general management plan to guide the development and use of the Eugene O'Neill National Historic Site in Contra Costa County, California is proposed. The 13.19-acre site is located approximately 20 miles east of San Francisco on a ridge overlooking the San Ramon Valley. The proposed action includes a combination of the on-site development and program functions of Alternative A and the basic access concept of Alternative B as presented in the draft general management plan and draft environmental impact statement of December 1988. The proposed alternative calls for continued use of Kuss Road as the access route to the site in combination with continued use of the shuttle van system to convey visitors to the site, removal of a major nonhistoric structure, use of another nonhistoric structure for administrative purposes, adaptive use of a historic barn as a maintenance facility, development of additional structures and parking for administrative and visitor uses, and substantial adjustments of the boundary. Performing arts and related educational programs on the site would include occasional theater performances, a seminar program, and a small-scale artist-in-residence program. The boundary adjustments would include contiguous orchards and additional historic features. The capital costs of plan implementation would be approximately $1.0 million, and annual operating costs are estimated at $215,000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: General visitation levels would increase from 10,000 to 15,000 persons annually. Space would be provided for small-scale theater performances, and office space would be provided for the Eugene O'Neill Foundation. Boundary adjustments would ease management. Archaeological resources associated with the property would be protected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: A steep wooded area would be removed from the management unit, reducing protection of the area. Removal of vegetation would degrade the visual aspect of the property somewhat. Disturbance of approximately 0.5 acre of surface area would result. Construction activities would disturb the Clipper Hill neighborhood, and operation of the historic site would result in minor noise increases and loss of privacy for neighborhood residents. A small portion of the Las Trampas Regional Wilderness would be lost. PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 88-0379D, Volume 12, Number 11-12.

T1  - ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLES FOR SUBSISTENCE USE, GATES OF THE ARCTIC NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERVE, ALASKA.
AN  - 36407046; 2969
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a negotiated agreement and legislation is proposed to permit expanded all-terrain vehicle (ATV) use on 157,321 acres of land within the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve (GANPP) of Alaska. Located north of the Arctic Circle in the central Brooks Range, the 8.4-million-acre GANPP is a remote part of Alaska's wilderness. The area has been used intensively by Eskimos and Indians for at least 4,500 years. Some of the land to be designated for ATV use would be removed from existing wilderness classification in exchange for access and development rights on some Native American lands. Some additional federal land would be designated as wilderness to mitigate the loss of wilderness due to permitted ATV use. More specifically, the proposed action would involve negotiation of an agreement between the National Park Service (NPS) and the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, Nunamiut Corporation, and city of Anaktuvuk Pass to exchange interests in land in the GANPP. The United States would acquire approximately 125,147 acres of private surface and subsurface development rights on Native and preserve lands within the park/preserve in addition to broad public access easements across approximately 156,682 acres of Native land. In addition, NPS would have the assurance that no ATV use would occur outside the legislatively delimited areas. In exchange, the Native corporations would receive ATV-access rights for subsistence uses on approximately 157,321 acres of federal parkland. Qualifying ATV types and eligible subsistence users would be identified. Subsistence access by aircraft to Itkillik Lake would be specifically authorized. Finalization of the agreement would require congressional enactment of legislation authorizing ATV use for subsistence purposes and removing 73,880 acres of parkland from the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS) and designation of 17,825 acres of parkland as wilderness. The total value of the interests to be conveyed to the United States is estimated at $2.937 million, while the total value of the interests to be conveyed to Native corporations is estimated at $1.573 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Summer use of ATVs for subsistence purposes within the agreed upon land area would provide Native Americans living in the area with access to caribou and other game. Foot access to the lands in question would be too difficult and time-consuming, and game could not readily be transported back to the village. Surface and subsurface rights obtained by the United States would allow development of associated resources, including sand and gravel. Additional legal protection would be afforded to lands added to the NWPS. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Use of ATVs in areas currently designated as wilderness would degrade natural values in the affected areas; a net loss of 56,055 acres of wilderness would result from the proposed actions. ATV use would destroy vegetation and affect natural visual quality, fisheries, water quality and quantity, and wildlife populations and habitats. Creation of 98 miles of new ATV trails would disturb 139 acres of vegetation. A total of 1,790 acres of vegetation would be disturbed throughout the study area. Approximately 1,790 acres of caribou habitat would be impacted. A few residents who would otherwise qualify for subsistence use of the study area would not qualify for inclusion on the list of eligible subsistence users. Subsurface development activities at Itkillik Lake would reduce wildlife habitat, disturb wildlife, lead to increased competition, and have an adverse impact on subsistence use. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487), Executive Order 11644, and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - WASHAKIE RESOURCE AREA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, PORTIONS OF BIG HORN, HOT SPRINGS, AND WASHAKIE COUNTIES, WYOMING: WILDERNESS PLAN.
AN  - 36385092; 2991
AB  - PURPOSE: Wilderness designation or nondesignation is recommended for five wilderness study areas (WSAs) within the Washakie Resource Area in the Big Horn Basin of northcentral Wyoming. WSAs under consideration include the 21,000-acre Honeycombs WSA (WY-010-221), 21,560-acre Cedar Mountain WSA (WY-010-222), 7,740-acre Medicine Lodge WSA (WY-010-240), 10,100-acre Alkali Creek WSA (WY-010-241), and 7,200-acre Trapper Creek WSA (WY-010-242). All the WSAs lie east of the Bighorn River. Under the proposed action, the entire Trapper Creek WSA and portions of the Cedar Mountain WSA, Medicine Lodge WSA, and Alkali Creek WSA would be recommended for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. Partial wilderness designations would result in wilderness status for 10,223 acres within the Cedar Mountain WSA, 7,440 acres within the Medicine Lodge WSA, and 8,187 acres within the Alkali Creek WSA. The entire Honeycombs WSA, 11,347 acres within the Cedar Mountain WSA, 4,140 acres within the Medicine Lodge WSA, and 1,913 acres within the Alkali Creek WSA would be designated as nonwilderness land and managed for multiple uses under the direction of the Washakie Resource Management Plan. The Trapper Creek WSA would be closed to new oil, gas, and tar sand leasing, to mineral location, and to mineral material sales. No oil and gas leases remain in the WSA. Livestock grazing would continue in the Trapper Creek WSA, Cedar Mountain WSA, Medicine Lodge WSA, and Alkali Creek WSA. An area of critical environmental concern, designated for the protection of a fragile watershed and cave resource, would be perpetuated within the Medicine Lodge WSA. Existing mining claims would continue to be maintained within the Alkali Creek WSA. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designations would protect the core of the Cedar Mountain area, including the area's highest wilderness values. All other areas designated as wilderness would be protected, preserving their natural and pristine values for present and future generations. Multiple-use management of areas designated as not suitable for wilderness status would allow for economically advantageous exploitative uses, such as grazing, timber management, and mineral development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mineral leasing would be eliminated within areas designated as wilderness, resulting in a potential loss of mineral resources. Timber harvest would be precluded on 1,324 acres within the Trapper Creek WSA due to wilderness. Areas designated as unsuitable for wilderness uses would be subject to exploitative uses that would degrade their natural, pristine characters. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Multiple Use Sustained Yield Act of 1960 (16 U.S.C. 528 et seq.), and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - COLORADO OIL AND GAS LEASING AND DEVELOPMENT.
AN  - 36404000; 2958
AB  - PURPOSE: Development of oil and gas leases in the Glenwood Springs, Kremmling, and Little Snake resource areas and the Northeast and San Juan/San Miguel planning areas in Colorado is proposed. These areas contain a total of 5.1 million acres of federal mineral estate that could be leased for oil and gas production. The study area includes all public lands and mineral estate within the Glenwood Springs Resource Area, Kremmling Resource Area, Little Snake Resource Area, Northeast Resource Area and a portion of the Royal Gorge Resource Area (referred to as the Northeast Planning Area), and San Juan Resource Area and a portion of the Uncompahgre Basin Resource Area (referred to as the San Juan/San Miguel Planning Area). The study area encompasses more than 3.2 million acres of federally administered surface lands and more than 5.1 million acres of federal oil and gas mineral estate. The proposed plan would categorize lands for leasing as follows: (1) 2.168 million acres open to development subject to standard terms and conditions; (2) 3.622 million acres open to development subject to seasonal or other minor constraints; (3) 482,000 acres open to development subject to no surface occupancy or major constraints; and (4) 302,000 acres closed to lease development. Both nondiscretionary closures (areas closed by law or regulation) and discretionary closures (areas closed by decision of the responsible federal official) are described in this environmental impact statement. The areas that would be closed to leasing are usually wilderness study areas (WSAs), town sites, military facilities, reservoirs, and the like. Major issues addressed include the protection of WSAs, areas of critical environmental concern, cultural sites, major highway viewsheds, and sensitive areas. If the proposed action is approved, the resource management plans for the affected lands would be amended, and the lands would be leased for oil and gas production as described above. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Oil and gas removed from the lease areas would contribute to the energy reserves of the nation, reducing U.S. dependence on foreign sources of these resources. Development activities would increase regional employment rolls and generally improve the socioeconomic status of the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Vegetation losses would be expected from preliminary seismic operations, construction of access roads, and well-site development. Seismic operations could also disrupt normal aquifer activity. Some cattle and wildlife disruptions would be expected. Exploration and field development activities would disturb soils and geologic formations. Local aquatic habitat would be affected by increased levels of sedimentation. Some slight disturbance to recreationists would occur, and some stress would be placed on local transportation facilities. 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 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 90-0141D, Volume 14, Number 3.

T1  - PROPOSED REOPENING OF THE A-J MINE, JUNEAU, ALASKA.
AN  - 36410923; 2964
AB  - PURPOSE: Issuance of a permit to Echo Bay Exploration, Inc. is proposed to allow the reopening of the nonfederally owned A-J Gold Mine within the City and Borough of Juneau, Alaska. The underground mine operated from 1893 to 1944, producing 3.52 million ounces of refined gold from 88.5 million tons of rock and ore. At peak production, 12,000 tons of ore were mined daily by 1,000 miners operating on a 363-day/year, three-shift basis. The A-J orebody and overlying surface estate are jointly owned by the City and Borough of Juneau and the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company. The orebody is a tabular deposit that strikes northwest-southeast and dips moderately to steeply northeast away from Juneau under Mt. Roberts and the Silverbow Basin. Under the applicant's proposal, an estimated 106.8 million tons of ore, with an average content of 0.047 ounces of gold per ton, would be mined over a 13-year period. Mine development would require rehabilitation and expansion of the existing underground workings, internal accessways to mine workings and facilities via tunnels, internal shafts, ramps, and raises. Ore would be mined via a process known as stoping under rock fill (SURF), where the solid orebody is drilled and blasted so as to create a large, rectangular cavern or stope. Broken ore would be hauled to an underground mill, where it would be crushed and processed to concentrate the gold. Gold concentrates would be sent to the surface facility for additional processing. A new 14,000-foot (Bradley) adit would be constructed from the Thane surface facility near sea level to intersect the southern part of the orebody near its vertical midpoint. Two offshoots of the Bradley adit also would be constructed for tailings and waste rock disposal. Ore would be crushed and given initial treatment at an undergound mill constructed off the Bradley adit. Grinding and gravity separation operations would take place at this mill. A carbon-in-leach process would be used to separate gold from treated ore. The process plant for flotation, leaching, cyanide destruction, and refining and the assay laboratory, liquid petroleum gas storage and generating facilities, electrical substation, offices, warehouse/shop, dock, diesel fuel storage, sedimentation ponds, diked reagent storage, and related facilities would be located on a 30-acre site on Gastineau Channel near Thane. Waste rock in excess of that needed to construct project facilities and to stabilize disturbed areas would be made available at nominal cost for other construction purposes in the Juneau area. Any remaining waste rock would be placed in Sheep Creek Valley near the Sheep Creek adit. A 345-foot-high dam would be constructed in three phases in Sheep Creek Valley to contain the 84 million cubic yards of neutralized tailings produced during the mining process. Project design would include full reclamation. Capital costs for the project are estimated at $260.6 million. Total expenditures associated with the operation of the mine would be approximately $67.55 million during the 15-year period from startup to shutdown. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 4.732 million ounces of refined gold would be produced by the mining product. At an estimated value of $340 to $400 per ounce, revenue would amount to an estimated $121.150 million. Of that sum, leases and royalties would amount to $41.8 million, or approximately 35 percent. The mine would employ 450 permanent, full-time workers. In addition, an estimated 340 new indirect jobs would be created in the Juneau area. Construction employment would peak at 337 new jobs during the two-year construction period. The county and borough would gain revenue from the proposed reopening of the mine due to sales and property taxes generated by development and operation of the mine. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 4.4 million cubic yards of waste rock and 84.0 million cubic yards of tailings would be generated. An influx of 1,706 persons into the Juneau area would be expected due to the mining project, costing the local government $2.4 million to $4.6 million annually. Approximately 14.7 acres of fill would be placed in Gastineau Channel to construct surface processing facilities. Mining operations would consume 23 megawatts of electrical energy. Thane Road and a portion of the Annex Creek powerline in Sheep Creek Valley would be relocated. Approximately 350 tons of solid chemical, petroleum, and related wastes would be generated by the project. Tailings-related water quality impacts would violate drinking water standards for 33 months and fish and wildlife standards for up to 13.7 years. Flows in Gold Creek would decline somewhat, and in Sheep Creek, flows would decline substantially. A total of 600 acres of upland habitat, including deer and bear habitat, would be lost, and 6.5 acres of wetland, 0.6 acre of wet scrubland, and 2.6 miles of Sheep Creek would be destroyed. Visual and recreational opportunities would be disturbed.

T1  - SALINAS VALLEY SEAWATER INTRUSION PROGRAM, MONTEREY COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36406309; 3006
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan to reduce the rate of seawater intrusion into groundwater in the Castroville/Marina/Fort Ord 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, separating 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. Of the 25 alternatives originally considered, 5 were selected for detailed evaluation: 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, would entail capping groundwater wells in the areas affected by seawater intrusion, drilling new wells upgradient to supply water to the city of Marina and Fort Ord, and diverting Salinas River flows and reclaiming wastewater to supply water to the Castroville irrigation system. An irrigation distribution system would provide surface water deliveries to approximately 12,000 net irrigated acres in the Castroville area, while a dispersed well system and transmission pipeline would serve the Marina/Fort Ord areas. Changes in the operation of the San Antonio and Nacimiento dams and the Salinas River would yield an additional 22,000 acre-feet of water for the Castroville service area. Remaining demand would be served from Salinas River and tributary natural flows and standby wells within the service area. A diversion structure and pump station on the Salinas River downstream of Blanco Road would supply water to a proposed distribution system serving nonproject on-farm irrigation systems. Approximately 62 percent of the water supply for agricultural irrigation needs would come from reclaimed wastewater. A 29.6-million-gallon-per-day tertiary treatment plant would be constructed, along with a pressure-regulating pond and discharge piping facilities, to connect with the Castroville distribution system. Delivery of reclaimed wastewater on an irrigation demand schedule would permit approximately 19,000 acre-feet to be used annually, which would decrease the demand for water from supplemental wells during dry years and from the upstream reservoirs during all years. Twelve supplemental wells would be dug to satisfy agricultural demands during dry periods. From September 15 through April 15, all Castroville irrigation systems would be supplied via reclaimed water. A well system, initially consisting of 8 wells and increasing to 12 wells, would be developed along the Salinas River between the city of Spreckels and Somavia Road. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Saltwater intrusion into the study area would decline by more than 50 percent, providing for long-term water supply to meet demands for municipal and agricultural interests. Provision of a safe, adequate water supply would allow 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. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Fishery production associated with the Nacimiento and San Antonio reservoirs would decline by 10 percent. Juvenile steelhead trout could be entrained at the Salinas River diversion structure. Month-to-month flow variation would increase in the Nacimiento River from August through November, affecting resident fish species, planted rainbow trout, and rearing steelhead trout. Facilities would displace 4.9 acres of riparian scrub, 17.2 acres of freshwater marsh, and 9.6 acres of riparian forest. Foraging habitat for bald eagles would decline by 14 percent and three perch trees would be lost. Prey species habitat would be reduced by one percent. Recreational opportunities associated with these resources would also be lost. The project would induce growth in Marina at the Armstrong Ranch project. The project would be affected by erodible soils, high shrink-swell capacity of soils, and active geologic faults. Cultural resources along the unsurveyed portion of the Castroville irrigation system could be affected. LEGAL MANDATES: Coastal Zone Management Act of 1977, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1451 et seq.), Executive Order 11990, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - BETZE PROJECT, EUREKA AND ELKO COUNTIES, NEVADA.
AN  - 36401355; 2967
AB  - PURPOSE: Continuation and expansion of gold mining and processing operations at the Goldstrike Mine in Eureka and Elko counties, Nevada are proposed. The existing and proposed activities are located on lands administered by the Elko Resource Area of the Bureau of Land Management and on privately owned lands. In general, major components of the proposed action would include the Betze Pit, Extended South waste rock disposal area, extended dewatering facilities, North Block heap leach facility, mill expansion, North Block tailings impoundment, two ore stockpiles, topsoil stockpiles, and haul roads and pipeline corridors. The proposed project would involve expansion of the existing open-pit mine to permit recovery of ore that contains approximately 15.1 million ounces of gold. Mining and processing operations would be expanded to allow for recovery of both oxide and sulfide ore from the Betze deposit. The project would also involve expansion of Barrick's existing processing facilities to process the ore mined from that deposit. Mine development would involve expansion of the existing Post Pit to form the Betze Pit, which would ultimately be 8,000 feet long, 4,500 feet wide, and 1,800 feet deep. Gold would be mined and processed over the estimated 20-year operational life of the Betze Project. Expansion of the mining operations would require additional waste rock disposal areas and ore stockpiles and expansion of existing mine dewatering facilities. The expansion of heap leaching operations would require a new heap leach pad, solution collection ponds, and gold recovery facilities to allow leaching of approximately 22.0 million tons of the 45.3 million tons of lower grade oxide ore. The existing carbon stripping, electrowinning, and refining facility, located on the AA Block, would be used to process the gold-loaded carbon from both existing and proposed leach facilities. Expansion of the mill facilities would include an increase in milling capacity from 6,000 tons per day to approximately 13,000 tons per day, construction of five additional autoclaves, expansion of the oxygen plant, and construction of an additional tailings impoundment. The infrastructure at the mine, including equipment fleets, ancillary facilities, and personnel, would increase to accommodate the proposed expansion. All project disturbances would be subject to reclamation activities, involving grading, placement of topsoil, and revegetation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Increased production from the Goldstrike Mine would help offset anticipated decreases in production of gold in South Africa and the Soviet Union. In addition to providing additional gold for domestic consumption, gold from the mine could become part of the increasingly important export value of gold to foreign countries from the United States. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Expansion of the mine would disturb 2,189 acres, including 271 acres of riparian vegetation, and alter site topography. Wildlife habitat, including 676 acres of sage grouse habitat, associated with the site would be altered or destroyed. Approximately 345 acres of grazing land would also be lost. Subsequent access to mineral deposits other than the gold located in the area of the Betze Pit or associated tailings facilities could be affected. Mining and milling activities would emit particulate matter, gaseous matter, and/or trace metals. Withdrawal of water from the groundwater system for dewatering the Betze Pit at a projected rate of 29,300 gallons per minute and subsequent discharge of water at a projected rate of 22,300 gallons per minute would impact both surface and groundwater quantity and quality. Mining and maintenance of disposal areas, ore stockpiles, a tailings impoundment, and a heap leach facility could also degrade water quality. A total of 64 cultural resource sites would lie within the project area. The increase in local population resulting from the mine expansion would place some stress on the local infrastructure. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and General Mining Law of 1872, as amended (30 U.S.C. 21 et seq.).

T1  - VALBOIS, A YEAR-ROUND DESTINATION RESORT VILLAGE, VALLEY COUNTY, IDAHO.
AN  - 36402408; 2975
AB  - PURPOSE: Issuance of a special use permit to Valift Incorporated for the development of a year-round destination recreational resort at Cascade Lake within the Boise National Forest, Valley County, Idaho is proposed. The site lies on the west side of the Cascade Reservoir near the town of Cascade. The mountain range is known as West Mountain and the major drainage is Poison Creek. More specifically, the site location is Township 15 North, Range 2 East, Sections 1, 11, 12, 13, and 14; and Township 15 North, Range 3 East, Sections 5, 6, 17, and 18. The recreational resort would occupy 2,800 acres of National Forest System lands and 120 acres of lands administered by the Bureau of Reclamation. The site would also use 578 acres of private land for resort facilities and 615 acres for agricultural crop reuse of domestic wastewater generated by the project. The resort would include alpine skiing facilities consisting of eight lifts (including one with gondola units) with associated ski runs covering 925 acres, two midslope day lodges, telemark slopes, and a resort lodge (open year-round) at Poison Lake. These facilities would provide for 4,350 skiers at one time on the slopes. Water-oriented recreation and lakeside camping facilities would be constructed on 75 acres administered by the Bureau of Reclamation. This latter development would consist of a hotel/restaurant, a 250-slip marina, a tackle shop, and a recreational vehicle park designed to facilitate swimming, boating, fishing, water skiing, and wind surfing. Facilities for fuel and services to public boaters and recreational vehicles would be provided. Development on private lands would consist of high- and low-density residential and commercial uses, open space, a golf course, and other recreational facilities, as well as associated infrastructure and support facilities. Tennis, swimming, equestrian activity, golf, nordic skiing, and ice skating facilities also would be developed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing for regional winter and summer recreational needs, the development would boost the local economy and provide additional employment in the area. Permit activities would adhere to the 1975 forest management plan for the Boise National Forest. If the project should result in the development of a community sewage treatment facility, water quality within Cascade Reservoir and receiving waters could be improved. Increased revenue for Valley County would be generated by the resort via taxation and off-resort sources. Land values in the vicinity of the development would increase significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the marina would require the removal of dredged material between the high- and low-water levels. Operation of the site would generate significant levels of wastewater effluent as well as solid waste. Visitation would increase traffic levels on Highway 55, Valley County Road from Donnelly to Tamarack Falls, and the West Mountain Road from Tamarack Falls south to Cascade. School, hospital, and police services would be stressed by the additional developments. Big game habitat, including habitat for black bear, elk, and deer, would decline. Waterfowl and shorebirds would be impacted by activities associated with the marina. Land uses would affect blue grouse breeding and rearing and five osprey nests along the western edge of the private lands. A bald eagle nest at the Poison Creek site would be abandoned due to human encroachment. A substantial annual timber harvest would be foregone. Some recreational land use conflicts would occur, and the visual aesthetics of the area would be degraded somewhat. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

T1  - American Indians Today: Answers to Your Questions. Third Edition.
AN  - 62898874; ED344706
AB  - This booklet answers briefly the most common questions about American Indians asked by students, teachers, researchers, librarians, government agencies, and the news media. Sections outline the history, responsibilities, educational programs, and housing programs of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA); President Bush's American Indian policy; current federal appropriations for Indian programs; statistics about the nearly 2 million American Indians and Alaska natives, 510 federally recognized tribes, and 278 federal Indian reservations; and birth and death rates and related demography. A section of questions and answers defines or discusses Indian identity, tribal membership, reservations, American Indian languages, the federal Indian relationship, citizenship and voting, other legal rights and responsibilities, tribal governments, treaties, tribal sovereignty, and genealogy. This booklet also contains a map showing federally recognized tribes, information sources in federal government agencies and libraries, an 84-item bibliography, and lists of BIA area offices and national American Indian organizations.

T1  - Tribal Consultation Booklet: January 1991-March 1994.
AN  - 62769860; ED372892
AB  - "Tribal Consultation Booklets" are the records and background materials of the meetings between Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) staff and tribal representatives, parents, school boards, and other interested parties in ten states, concerning potential changes or issues relating to Indian Education Programs. Such consultation meetings are held 2-3 times per year, with each meeting usually considering 4-7 topics. This document consists of records for the eight meetings held from January 1991 through March 1994, approximately a three-year period. Typical topics reported on are as follows: proposed regulations to establish standardized administrative procedures for operating and administering an educational program for Indian adults; proposed regulations to establish minimum program standards for the operation of early childhood development programs; proposed amendments that set out provisions by which dormitory standards may be waived and that require school children to be immunized against childhood diseases according to the regulations of the state where they attend school; identification of current and proposed advocacy activities for Indian students attending public schools, including activities carried out by tribes, the federal government, states, or organizations; proposed amendments to federal legislation that would expand tribally controlled school grants to include such educational programs as Johnson O'Malley, higher education scholarships, and adult education; proposed BIA policy supporting full inclusion of children with disabilities in the regular classroom; proposal to include the Indian School Equalization Program and tribally controlled community college funds in the Self-Governance Demonstration Project; proposed task force to assess the role of BIA in Alaska Native Education; proposed study of potential arrangements under which a tribe could construct an educational facility with a guaranteed annual lease payment from the BIA to pay back the costs of construction; and proposal to create a national association of tribal/BIA Johnson O'Malley program directors.

T1  - Conflict! Dwight D. Eisenhower. Teacher's Guide.
AN  - 62640130; ED392711
AB  - This teaching package introduces students to soldier and President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who played a key role in many of the conflicts of the 20th century. The package is to prepare students for a visit to the Eisenhower Farm in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The lessons challenge students to use the study of Eisenhower to explore how conflicts are caused--and how they can be solved. This teaching package has been designed to appeal to all types of learners--visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. The packet fosters critical thinking skills as students read, write, analyze and draw conclusions. Students also participate actively through role playing. The teaching package includes five lessons: (1) "Conflict and Its Resolution"; (2) "Causes of International Conflict"; (3) "Eisenhower and His Times"; (4) "Conflicts Eisenhower Faced"; and (5) "How Would Eisenhower Have Handled It?" In an additional lesson, "Site Visit: A Visit by a World Leader," students, using primary source documents, develop their own planned visit by Jawaharlal Nehru. The lessons offer teachers a way to integrate the study of this U.S. President with the 11th grade U.S. history curriculum and were designed to coordinate with the learner outcomes identified by the Pennsylvania State Department of Education. Contains 12 references. (EH)

T1  - John Brown's Raid: Park VideoPack for Home and Classroom.
AN  - 62305192; ED445957
AB  - This video pack is intended for parents, teachers, librarians, students, and travelers interested in learning about national parklands and how they relate to the nation's natural and cultural heritage. The video pack includes a VHS video cassette on Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, an illustrated handbook with historical information on Harpers Ferry, and a study guide linking these materials. The video in this pack, "To Do Battle in the Land," documents John Brown's 1859 attempt to end slavery in the South by attacking the United States Armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia (now West Virginia). The 27-minute video sets the scene for the raid that intensified national debate over the slavery issue. The accompanying handbook, "John Brown's Raid," gives a detailed account of the insurrection and subsequent trial that electrified the nation and brought it closer to civil war. The 76-page handbook is profusely illustrated with historic photographs and engravings. The study guide complements both the video and the handbook and can help teachers prepare students to understand John Brown's Raid through a series of thematic lessons and activities. It can also be used to lay the groundwork for a visit to Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. (BT)

T1  - Archeology of Sivu'ovi; the Archaic to basketmaker transition at Petrified Forest National Park
AN  - 52606811; 1998-033844
AB  - During 1989 and 1990, a small-scale excavations were conducted at Sivu'ovi (AS Q:1:114 ASM), Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona. Sivu'ovi is a large (12 acre) Basketmaker II site that includes the remains of over 45 pit structures. Also within the site boundary, but not tested as part of the current fieldwork, are several small field houses that date to a later Pueblo period occupation. The site contains an abundance of artifacts on the surface, including Adamana Brown pottery, the earliest identified ware in the region. Chronometric data indicate a pre-A.D. 300 date for occupation at Sivu'ovi and the Flattop Site, perhaps indicate a pre-A.D. 300 date for occupation at Sivu'ovi and the Flattop Site, perhaps as early as 300 B.C. at Sivu'ovi. However, occupation from A.D. 1 to 200 may be the best estimate at this time for the Basketmaker II occupation at both sites. These are the earliest dates yet for sites with ceramics in the middle Little Colorado River region. In both respects Sivu'ovi appears to be transitional between the Archaic and Pueblo periods. Testing confirmed that Sivu'ovi contains abundant and varied data, and further work at the site is recommended to mitigate the effects of continued erosion and to realize more of the site's information potential.

AN  - 16637056; 3024389
AB  - The Colorado River Storage Project (CRSP) provides for the comprehensive development of the upper Colorado River basin. The project furnishes the long-time regulatory storage needed to permit states in the upper basin to meet their flow obligation at Lees Ferry, Ariz., as defined in the Colorado River Compact, and still utilize their apportioned water. Water stored by the project provides a portion for direct use in the upper basin. Sediment and flooding are better controlled and recreation development and fish and wildlife conservation have benefited. Because of project development, a significant amount of electrical energy is produced to meet the needs of the upper basin and adjacent areas.

T1  - Yakima Basin Fish Passage Project, Phase 2. Environmental assessment.
AN  - 16622501; 3001574
AB  - Implementation of the Yakima Basin Fish Passage Project -- Phase 2 would significantly improve the production of anadromous fish in the Yakima River system. The project would provide offsite mitigation and help to compensate for lower Columbia River hydroelectric fishery losses. The Phase 2 screens would allow greater numbers of juvenile anadromous fish to survive. As a consequence, there would be higher returns of adult salmon and steelhead (Oncorhynchus spp.) to the Yakima River. The proposed action would play an integral part in the overall Yakima River anadromous fish enhancement program (fish passage improvement, habitat enhancement, hatchery production increases, and harvest management). Based on the evaluation presented in this assessment, there would be no significant adverse environmental impacts if the proposed action was carried forward. No significant adverse environmental effects have been identified from construction and operation of the Yakima Phase 2 fish passage project.

T1  - Limnology and drift of particulate organic matter through the lower Colorado River.
AN  - 16576408; 3009786
AB  - The lower Colorado River from Laughlin, Nevada, to the U.S. and Mexico borders has six mainstem dams; it is one of the most regulated rivers in North America. The mainstem dams have been shown to block transport of sediment, but their effect on particulate organic matter (POM) transport has not been investigated. The lower reaches of the Colorado River have a diverse assemblage of temperate and subtropical fishes that are heavily dependent on organic detritus for food. An analysis of POM transport through the system was made by the Bureau of Reclamation to determine how dams and civil structures affect the transport POM showed a general increase in volume from upstream to downstream. POM was dominated by organic detritus in the less than 25 micrometer size fraction. Reservoirs released more POM than they received during spring and summer, but less during fall and winter. Reservoirs tended to process and recycle POM internally and release mostly limnoplankton. Backwater complexes functioned as filters during high flow--trapping coarse material and releasing fine material. Agricultural drains made constant low-level contributions of both POM and nutrients for in-channel production of POM. Reservoir water diversions tended to shunt POM off-channel, and more POM was generated in warm, slow water conditions downstream. The variety of potential POM sources--each able to be a dominant contributor as physical and meteorological conditions change--allowed for a rather constant supply of POM for consumption by downstream detritivores.

AB  - The King Range National Conservation Area (KRNCA) Visitor Services Plan (VSP) is needed to determine what recreation management actions the US BLM (Bureau of Land Management) should take to implement the KRNCA Management Program of 1974 as amended by the FLPMA of 1976, and other land use plans including the King Range Transportation Plan of 198. The scope of the VSP will include the federal lands located within the KRNCA, the administrative site at Whitethorn, and visitor service contact areas directly adjacent to the KRNCA. The VSP will identify the visitor management objective identifying the recreation activity and setting opportunities to be managed for, recreation experiences to be provided, interpretive themes, recreation facilities, administrative and staffing needs required to meet the management objectives. The plan will also address the visitor services actions (interpretation, emergency services, information and educational materials) required to enhance the recreation experience and manage visitor use consistent with the management objectives and sound ecological principles.

T1  - MASTER PLAN, GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, ARIZONA: DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT PLAN FOR NORTH RIM VISITOR FACILITIES (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF NOVEMBER 1975).
AN  - 36411263; 2858
AB  - PURPOSE: Provision of a variety of new visitor services in the North Rim area of the Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona is proposed. The North Rim area is located in Cococino County. This draft supplement to the final environmental impact statement (EIS) of November 1975 on the master plan for Grand Canyon National Park addresses new developments in the North Rim area. Planning for additional visitor services for the North Rim, Grand Canyon, was initiated in 1975 and limited definitions and prescriptions for future development were contained in the 1976 Master Plan. In 1982, a comprehensive design plan and environmental assessment were prepared for the area but the plan was not implemented. In 1988, a development concept plan and environmental assessment were prepared and circulated for public review but this plan was not implemented due to legal action. This draft supplemental EIS draws from and refers to these past planning efforts. Currently proposed developments would include a 100-unit motel-type lodge, a restaurant, a 50-unit expansion of the campground in the North Rim Inn area, and transportation improvements in both the North Rim Inn and Grand Canyon Lodge areas as well as within the existing campground. The North Rim Inn and adjoining four cabins would be restored and both the Inn and the Grand Canyon Lodge would be enhanced by transportation improvements. Adoption of this plan would constitute an amendment of the 1976 master plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of the new lodging would allow more visitors to experience the Grand Canyon over any 24-hour period and would accommodate a wider variety of visitor needs. The new lodging would also allow a balance between the adjoining national forest and park by avoiding concentrated use areas and allowing national forest facilities more latitude to serve forest users. Visual benefits would result from traffic improvements at both the Grand Canyon Lodge and the North Rim Inn. Air quality may improve in the Grand Canyon Lodge area from alleviation of traffic congestion. Concession employment would increase by 50 percent. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 3.6 acres of wildlife habitat and soil would be disturbed. Some 560 trees, of which approximately 44 are mature, would be removed for campground and lodge developments. Major visual changes in the North Rim Inn area would result from the introduction of two-story motel units and the restaurant. Air quality may suffer impairment from increased use in the North Rim Inn area. The historical setting and, to some degree, the use of the North Rim Inn area would be altered by the new lodging development. The employee frame cabins at the North Rim Inn, which have historic significance, would be demolished. Current visitor use experience at the North Rim Inn complex would be altered, causing consternation among some visitors. Water and sewer systems serving the area would experience increased demand.

T1  - GARNET RESOURCE AREA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, BUTTE DISTRICT, MONTANA: WILDERNESS PLAN.
AN  - 36410850; 2979
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of land and resource management plans is proposed for three wilderness study areas (WSAs) within the Garnet Resource Area in the Butte District of western Montana. The 11,580-acre Wales Creek WSA, 11,380-acre Hoodoo Mountain WSA, and 520-acre Quigg West WSA are the land areas under consideration. The Wales Creek WSA is located along the eastern slopes of the Garnet Mountain Range approximately 40 miles east of Missoula. The Hoodoo Mountain WSA is located along the top of the east Garnet Mountain Range approximately 60 miles east of Missoula. The Quigg West WSA, which is adjacent to the 60,050-acre Forest Service Quigg RARE II area, lies on the south-facing slopes to the Rock Creek drainage approximately 20 miles west of Philipsburg. Under the proposed action, the Quigg West WSA would be included in the National Wilderness Preservation System, while the Hoodoo Mountain and Wales Creek WSAs would be designated as unsuitable for wilderness classification and managed for multiple uses as indicated in the Garnet Resource Area land and resource management plan. This final wilderness environmental impact statement addresses the following issues: wilderness values, timber management, mineral and energy developments (including oil and gas), wildlife habitat, recreational use and opportunities, the economic situation, fire control/management, social attitudes, rights-of-way, and potential benefits and resource conflicts resulting from wilderness designation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Classification of the Quigg West WSA as wilderness would enhance the status of the adjacent Quigg RARE II area and protect the wilderness values on 520 acres. Opportunities for primitive recreation within the RARE II and Quigg West areas would be enhanced significantly by protection afforded under the wilderness classification. Economically beneficial exploitative land uses, including timber sales, would be allowed in the two WSAs recommended for multiple-use classification. Forest management activities, energy and mineral resources development, water quality, cultural resources, and wildlife habitat within the three WSAs would remain relatively unaffected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The opportunity to recreate in an undeveloped area would be foregone on portions of 16,360 acres that are likely to be developed within the Hoodoo Mountain and Wales Creek WSAs due to nonwilderness classification. The opportunity to add 22,960 acres within the two WSAs to the National Wilderness Preservation System would also be foregone, while forest management activities would reduce the existing naturalness of between 14,000 and 15,000 acres of commercial forestland over the long term. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements on the Garnet Resource Area land and resource management plan, see 85-0010D, Volume 9, Number 1, and 85-0453F, Volume 9, Number 10, respectively.

T1  - UTAH STATEWIDE WILDERNESS STUDY.
AN  - 36408776; 2887
AB  - PURPOSE: Wilderness designation within 83 wilderness study areas (WSAs) in Utah is considered. The Utah WSAs analyzed are located in all five Utah districts; however, nearly 87 percent of the WSAs are in the southern half of the state. Regional distributions are as follows: 464,280 acres in the west-central region, including the West Desert; 1,027,170 acres in the southwest region, including Zion vicinity and Kaiparowits Plateau; 428,786 acres in the south-central region, including Henry Mountains and the Dirty Devil River area; 436,175 acres in the southeast region covering the Canyonlands country; and 879,423 acres in the east-central region, including San Rafael Swell and the Book Cliffs. Focal issues addressed in this statement include those associated with wilderness values, water uses, mineral and energy exploration and production, and local economic conditions. Under the proposed action, 1,975,219 acres of public land in 66 WSAs would be designated at suitable for wilderness designation, and 1,260,615 acres of public land would be designated as nonsuitable for wilderness designation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation would protect primitive, pristine values for use by present and future generations. Nonwilderness designation would release such areas for multiple-use management, allowing exploitation of their commodity and noncommodity (e.g., recreational) values. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation would preclude economic development of mineral resources and other valuable commodity resources on so designated lands. Nonwilderness designation would result in degradation of wilderness values of primitiveness and naturalness. Over the long term, it is projected that 1.3 percent of the WSA lands under study would be directly disturbed and wilderness values would be impacted. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - ENLARGEMENT OF LAKE CACHUMA AND BRADBURY DAM SAFETY MODIFICATIONS, SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 15222185; 2931
AB  - PURPOSE: Enlargement of Lake Cachuma and modification of Bradbury Dam safety provisions are proposed in Santa Barbara County, California. The preferred alternative would consist of raising the 190-foot-high dam 50 feet for additional water supply, plus approximately 30 additional feet for flood surcharge storage; adding a new outlet works conduit and structures; constructing a new spillway or modifying the existing spillway; constructing a new intake structure for Tecolote Tunnel; and enhancing an ongoing program of weather modification involving cloud seeding. The California Department of Water Resources would purchase the increased water yield from the project to meet a portion of the Santa Barbara County Flood Control and Water Conservation District's (District) State Water Project (SWP) entitlement. The new reservoir would have a normal water surface elevation of 800 feet and a surface area of 4,662 acres. The reservoir storage capacity would be increased from 190,000 acre-feet to 382,000 acre-feet. When combined with weather modification effects, this additional storage would provide the SWP with a safe yield of 17,000 acre-feet per year. SWP releases would be made through Tecolote Tunnel to the South Coast area and through a pipeline to the Santa Ynez area. The project would also incorporate provisions of the Gibraltar Pass Through Agreement. Operation of this agreement would increase the yield of the enlarged reservoir to approximately 20,000 acre-feet per year without any structural modifications. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The 50-foot enlargement would increase both the annual water yield by approximately 17,000 acre-feet and the pass-through of Gibraltar Reservoir yield. The additional yield would help offset the District's overdraft of groundwater. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Enlargement of the reservoir would inundate 1,798 acres of chaparrel, open space, parkland, grassland, riparian land, and oak woodland. An additional 990 acres of land would be inundated temporarily. Habitats affected could include those associated with least Bell's vireo breeding, southwestern pond turtles, bald eagle wintering, and California least tern. Portions of existing Highway 154 would be inundated when the enlarged lake is full; hence, the project would require relocation of the highway. Lake enlargement would also require that Cachuma County Park be relocated, probably to the south of the existing park. Lowering of the lake during construction could impact the lake fishery and other water quality values, and reservoir fluctuations and reduced spills could affect the bass and steelhead trout fisheries, respectively. A total of 24 cultural resource sites, including sites included on the National Register of Historic Places, would be impacted. Inundation of cliffs would degrade visual qualities associated with the reservoir. Growth induced by the availability of water could place long-term stresses on infrastructures. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Safety of Dams Act of 1978.

T1  - SANTA ROSA SUBREGIONAL WATER RECLAMATION SYSTEM, SONOMA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA: LONG-TERM WASTEWATER SYSTEM.
AN  - 36401515; 2934
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a subregional water reclamation system for the city of Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California is proposed. The city operates a subregional wastewater treatment, reclamation, and reuse disposal system that serves the cities of Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, Cotati, and Sebastopol, and the South Park Sanitation District, as well as 70 percent of the septic tanks serviced in Sonoma County. Wastewater is treated and reclaimed through tertiary wastewater treatment, including filtration. During the winter, treated water is stored for discharge to the Russian River via the Laguna de Santa Rosa. During the summer (May 15 through October 1), discharge to the Laguna de Santa Rosa is prohibited; during these months, wastewater is reused for irrigation purposes. Approximately 40 to 50 percent of treated water is used for irrigation. Winter discharges to the Laguna de Santa Rosa are only allowed after the river flow has reached 1,000 cubic feet per second as measured at Hacienda Bridge in Guerneville and, then, at rates that do not exceed one percent of the river flow. Hence, the successful operation of the existing system depends on the weather. Under the currently proposed plan, reclaimed water would continue to be used to irrigate approximately 4,500 acres of land in the Laguna de Santa Rosa watershed and to irrigate at least 7,500 acres of currently unirrigated lands in the Americano Creek and Stemple Creek watersheds. Reclaimed water would also be used to create wetlands and vegetated riparian corridors in the Laguna de Santa Rosa and Americano Creek watersheds and to restore aquatic habitat, including resident trout and anadromous fisheries, in Americano Creek. Approximately 70 percent of Santa Rosa's wastewater would be reused for irrigation, while the remaining 30 percent would be reused for wetland creation and stream enhancement or discharged to the Russian River in accordance with regulatory requirements contained in the North Coast Water Quality Control Plan. Facilities needed to implement this proposal would include a five-mile pipeline from the Laguna Subregional Wastewater Treatment Plant to a 5.0-billion-gallon (15,000-acre-foot) storage reservoir in the Two Rock-Bloomfield-Valley Ford area of west Sonoma County. The reservoir would have a surface area of 250 acres. An irrigation water delivery system would supply water to 7,500 acres of currently unirrigated land, and more than 500 acres of wetlands would be created or enhanced. In addition, the Laguna wastewater treatment plant would be expanded from a capacity of 18 million gallons per day (MGD) to 25 MGD. Other alternatives under consideration include: (1) continuation of the existing system; (2) development of a scheme similar to that of the proposed alternative, except that excess treated wastewater would be delivered to irrigate approximately 4,300 acres of farmlands in the Lakeville area and to create wetlands adjacent to the Petalume River and San Pablo Bay; (3) discharge of excess treated wastewater via a 1.5-mile ocean outfall extending from the shore near the mouth of Salmon Creek; and (4) continuation of the existing system with the treatment level improved beyond the current tertiary level and discharging larger volumes of water into the Russian River. Alternative (2) would require construction of a 25-mile pipeline and nine reservoirs to provide for 5.0 billion gallons of storage. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Providing means of storing, using, and/or disposing excess treated wastewater flows during low flows on the Russian River would allow the system to meet water quality requirements for the river. In addition, reuse of excess flows would provide for irrigation needs, enhance stream flows, and create and enhance wetlands in the area. The wastewater disposal requirements of the subregion would be met. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed alternative would displace 20 acres of wetlands at the reservoir site and some grassland and associated wildlife habitat would be lost. The existence of a reclaimed water storage reservoir and the irrigation of presently unirrigated lands could affect groundwater levels and quality in certain areas. Alternative (2) would result in a loss of 214 acres of wetlands and 12 acres of riparian habitat at the nine reservoir sites. Construction of a pipeline through Bodega Bay under Alternative (3) would disrupt traffic within the area and generally disrupt the community. Continuation of the existing system, under Alternative (1), would result in significant impacts to subregional water quality. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE SAN JUAN/SAN MIGUEL PLANNING AREA, COLORADO AND UTAH: WILDERNESS PLAN.
AN  - 36409632; 2871
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of land and resource management plans is proposed for eight wilderness study areas (WSAs) in the San Juan and San Miguel Planning Area of Colorado and Utah. The WSAs under consideration are the 8,960-acre Cahone Canyon WSA, 12,588-acre Cross Canyon WSA, 28,668-acre Dolores River Canyon WSA, 19,398-acre McKenna Peak WSA, 7,129-acre Menefee Mountain WSA, 11,287-acre Squaw/Papoose Canyons WSA, 7,743-acre Tabeguache Creek WSA, and 6,303-acre Weber Mountain WSA. Under the proposed action, 28,468 acres within the Dolores River Canyon WSA and 7,748 acres within the Tabeguache Creek WSA would be recommended for inclusion in the National Wilderness System, while all other lands would be designated as unsuitable for wilderness classification and managed for multiple uses. Approximately 21 acres (the northeasternmost tip of the WSA) within the original boundaries of the Tabeguache WSA would be excluded from wilderness classification. The Cross Canyon, Cahone Canyon, and Squaw/Papoose Canyons WSAs would be managed for cultural resources protection and backcountry recreational uses. The McKenna Peak WSA would be managed for watershed control, grazing improvement, and wild horse herd improvement. The Menefee Mountain and Weber Mountain WSAs would be managed for cultural resources protection, recreational uses, and wildlife protection. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness classification of the two WSAs to be included in the National Wilderness System would preserve the natural, primitive values of the designated lands for enjoyment by present and future generations. Management actions allowed in areas to be designated as unsuitable for wilderness classification would promote effective multiple use of those areas as prescribed under the San Juan/San Miguel Planning Area Resource Management Plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: WSAs to be designated as unsuitable for wilderness classification would be subject to actions that could degrade their wilderness values of naturalness and solitude. WSAs to be classified as wilderness areas would not benefit from manipulative management actions that might enhance values other than wilderness values, including economic values. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements on the San Juan/San Miguel Planning Area Resource Management Plan, see 84-0279D, Volume 8, Number 6, and 85-0009F, Volume 9, Number 1, respectively.

T1  - KINGMAN RESOURCE AREA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36406590; 2859
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a 20-year land and resource management plan for the Kingman Resource Area (KRA) of Arizona is proposed. Alternatives for managing public lands, associated resources, and diverse multiple uses in the KRA were analyzed. The KRA encompasses 2.5 million acres of public land surface and 2.2 million acres of federal mineral estate in the northwestern portion of the state south of Lake Mead and the Hualapai Indian Reservation. The KRA is characterized by large areas of checkerboard ownership. A wide variety of multiple uses occurs on the planning area and public use has increased steadily in recent years due to population growth in and around Kingman and Bullhead City. Under the preferred alternative, focal planning issues would 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) designation of OHV use as open or limited to existing roads, trails, and washes; (2) issuance of sales and free-use permits as appropriate for vegetative products and minerals; (3) provision for primitive motorized and primitive nonmotorized recreation; and (4) transferral of lands deemed to be necessary from federal ownership, preferrably via 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) closure and rehabilitation of roads where no public or administrative need exists; (2) designation of OHV use as limited or closed; (3) implementation of special coordinated resource management plans to protect the fragile character and unique resource values of specific areas; (4) retention of land in federal ownership unless otherwise required by law; and (5) provision of primitive motorized and nonmotorized recreational access. POSITIVE IMPACTS: While allowing for continued multiple exploitative and nonexploitative uses of KRA lands and minerals, the management plan would protect sensitive resources for present and future generations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Disposal of public land would would prevent exploitation of mineral resources on the 101,000 acres of disposed land. Designation of areas of critical environmental concern, special status species provisions, and hazardous materials management requirements would also limit mineral developments. Other management actions would affect land actions, local economies, harvesting of vegetative products, watershed management, rangeland management, cultural resources, recreation management, wildlife habitat, riparian areas, and wild horses and burros.

T1  - DIXIE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, WASHINGTON COUNTY, UTAH.
AN  - 36409779; 2885
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for public lands within the Dixie Resource Area (DRA) of Washington County, Utah is proposed. The DRA includes 1.2 million acres of federal land, 94,747 acres of state land, and 280,964 acres of private land, for a total area of 1.55 million acres. The DRA contains a variety of topographic features, including plateaus and mesas of the Colorado Plateau Province in the eastern part and mountain ranges, sloping bench lands, and broad desert valleys of the Basin and Range Province in the western part. The preferred management plan, which would emphasize multiple-use land and resource retention, would cover fluid minerals, mineral materials, locatable minerals, rights-of-way, land acquisition and disposition, withdrawal and classification of lands, forestry, grazing management, cultural resources, wilderness, visual resources, recreation resources, vegetation, soil and water resources, wild and scenic rivers, air quality, and wildlife habitat, including threatened and endangered species. Areas of critical environmental concern (ACEC) would also be designated. The plan would emphasize long-term retention, protection, and special management of public lands. The plan would provide for land use within the city limits of communities with high growth rates and for land near such communities for exchanges; special management for more than 130,000 acres within ACECs and for land set aside for important recreational opportunities; usual and customary fluid mineral development on medium- and high-potential areas; locatable mining on most medium- and high-potential areas; salable mineral materials on more than 80 percent of the DRA; interstate utility corridors; long-term management of difficult-to-manage property near and within city limits; and nondisposal of specified public lands. 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 negotiate for identified acquisition lands. Acreage designated for ACEC status and mineral restrictions under the preferred plan would increase significantly, protecting important habitats. Visual management objectives for the western half of the resource area would allow more surface protection discretion to protect sensitive desert scenery. Off-road vehicle limitation zoning would also reflect this commitment to protecting the desert environment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: A cumulative commitment of parcels to be disposed would be irreversibly committed; this commitment would be more than compensated by cumulative acquisition of private and state properties having important resource values. The utility corridors would also represent an irreversible commitment of natural resources. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - SHASTA OUTFLOW TEMPERATURE CONTROL, SHASTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36405792; 2935
AB  - PURPOSE: Utilization of the cold water resource of Shasta Lake to improve water temperatures along a 60-mile reach of the upper Sacramento River used by chinook salmon is proposed. The river segment runs between Keswick Dam and Red Bluff Diversion Dam. Chinook salmon were designated as a protected species under federal and state endangered species legislation. The upper Sacramento River is the largest and most important salmon stream in California, providing more spawning habitat for chinook salmon than any other river in the state. The river system supports four separate salmon runs. The population of each of the runs has declined by varying degrees over the past 20 years. In particular, the winter run has declined from a relatively stable 2,000 in the early 1980s to approximately 500 in 1989 and 1990. In 1987, as an interim improvement measure, releases were initiated from the Shasta Dam river outlet works (located at a lower elevation than the powerplant intake) specifically to access cooler water at critical ties during spawning. Although this created better downstream temperature conditions, it was extremely costly in terms of foregone energy generation. The currently proposed action would involve installation of a shutter device on the upstream face of Shasta Dam to provide optimum control of water temperatures while maintaining hydropower generation and reservoir release schedules to meet downstream water supply demands. Due to the urgent nature of declining salmon populations, the Bureau of Reclamation is recommending immediate construction of the shutter device. Specification designs are scheduled for completion in December 1990. Pending congressional authorization and appropriation, the specifications could be issued as early as February 1991. Legislation that would have authorized construction and funding was introduced in the 101st session of Congress; that legislation, however, was not enacted. The estimated cost of the shutter device is $52.0 million, to be allocated over a 21-month construction period. The benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 2.28. POSITIVE IMPACTS: While generally improving fishery conditions in the upper Sacramento River, the cold water releases would particularly enhance the winter runs of chinook salmon. The bald eagle would benefit from an increased food base and foraging opportunities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: NONE.

T1  - CRAIG DISTRICT WILDERNESS AREA (WHITE RIVER, KREMMLING, AND LITTLE SNAKE RESOURCE AREAS), GRAND, JACKSON, MOFFAT, AND RIO BLANCO COUNTIES, COLORADO AND DAGGETT AND UINTAH COUNTIES, UTAH.
AN  - 36408706; 2870
AB  - PURPOSE: Designation or nondesignation of 15 wilderness study areas (WSAs) in northwest Colorado are analyzed. The WSAs lie in the White River, Kremmling, and Little Snake resource areas, located in Grand, Jackson, Moffat, and Rio Blanco counties, Colorado, with portions of three WSAs extending into the Book Cliffs and Diamond Mountain resource areas in the Vernal District in Daggett and Uintah Counties, Utah. The WSAs analyzed include the 12,297-acre Bull Canyon WSA (including 520 acres in the Book Cliffs Resource Area, Utah), 13,368-acre Willow Creek WSA, 13,740-acre Skull Creek WSA, 9,932-acre Black Mountain WSA, 12,274-acre Windy Gulch WSA, 17,740-acre Oil Spring Mountain WSA, 8,250-acre Troublesome WSA, 30-acre Platte River Contiguous WSA, 17,682-acre West Cold Spring WSA (including 3,200 acres in the Diamond Mountain Resource Area, Utah), 35,380-acre Diamond Breaks WSA (including 3,900 acres in the Diamond Mountain Resource Area, Utah), 14,081-acre Cross Mountain WSA, 4,354-acre Ant Hills WSA, 1,320-acre Chew Winter Camp WSA, 5,160-acre Peterson Draw WSA, and 7,420-acre Vale of Tears WSA. Under the proposed management scheme, the Bull Canyon, Willow Creek, Skull Creek, Cross Mountain, Platte River Contiguous, and Diamond Breaks WSAs would be recommended as suitable for wilderness designation. All other WSAs would be recommended as nonsuitable for wilderness status. A 320-acre private inholding within the Bull Canyon WSA would be acquired. Acquisition of adjoining state land and private mineral estate would be pursued in association with designation of the Skull Creek and Willow Creek WSAs as wilderness. Animal unit months allotted for livestock grazing would be maintained at current levels in areas to be designated as wilderness. Range improvements, forest management schemes, and/or oil and gas developments would be implemented within areas designated as unsuitable for wilderness. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values would be protected on approximately 100,000 acres of pristine natural area. Ecosystems protected by the wilderness designations would include arid canyon and 0.25 mile of the North Gate Canyon of the North Platte River and that portion of the canyon's rim that is part of the viewshed of the adjacent Platte River Wilderness. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values would be lost on much of the WSA lands designated as nonsuitable for wilderness status. Operating costs would increase for some livestock holders due to restrictions on motor vehicle use within areas designated as wilderness, and mineral entry would be prohibited in most designated areas. Recreation use would substantially increase visitor-days per year in each of the Bull Canyon, Willow Creek, Skull Creek, and Black Mountain WSAs. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 89-0265D, Volume 13, Number 5.

T1  - ROCK SPRINGS DISTRICT WILDERNESS STUDY AREAS, FREMONT, LINCOLN, SUBLETTE, AND SWEETWATER COUNTIES, WYOMING.
AN  - 36408076; 2892
AB  - PURPOSE: Establishment of land management plans for 13 wilderness study areas (WSAs), encompassing 217,282 acres, in the Rock Springs District of Freemont, Lincoln, Sublette, and Sweetwater counties, Wyoming is proposed. WSAs under consideration include the 13,865-acre Lake Mountain WSA, 32,936-acre Raymond Mountain WSA, 10,300-acre Buffalo Hump WSA, 27,109-acre Sand Dunes WSA, 16,990-acre Alkali Draw WSA, 10,800-acre South Pinnacles WSA, 12,800-acre Alkali Basin-Sand Dunes WSA, 9,515-acre Red Lake WSA, 40,548-acre Honeycomb Buttes WSA, 5,700-acre Oregon Buttes WSA, 23,841-acre Devils Playground-Twin Buttes WSA, and 8,020-acre Red Creek Badlands WSA. The preferred plan would involve designation of 127,148 acres within six WSAs as wilderness. All other lands would be managed for multiple uses. Land to be managed as wilderness would include the entire Oregon Buttes WSA, Raymond Mountain WSA, and Devils Playground-Twin Buttes WSA, as well as 6,080 acres within the Buffalo Hump WSA, 21,304 acres within the Sand Dunes WSA, and 37,287 acres within the Honeycomb Buttes WSA. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness management for areas designated as wilderness would maintain existing high levels of air quality and topography, minimize disruptive activities that would otherwise degrade the pristine aspects of the areas, allow continued naturalistic changes to the environment, maintain water quality and quantity, prevent destructive grazing practices, eliminate exploitative removal of timber, promote protection of natural wildlife habitat, ensure the provision of adequate primitive recreation opportunities, and maintain the visual quality of the areas. Nonwilderness management of nondesignated areas would provide extensive economic opportunities to the local and regional communities. Nonprimitive recreational activities, such as off-road vehicle use, would be allowed in the WSAs managed for multiple uses, increasing accessibility to these areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Nonwilderness management of nondesignated areas would allow exploitative activities that could damage the ecology and alter their pristine nature; as a result, the affected lands would be ineligible for future consideration for wilderness designation. Some economically advantageous uses of areas designated as wilderness would be precluded by wilderness designation. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft environmental impact statement (EIS) and a revised draft EIS, see 83-0133D, Volume 7, Number 3, and 88-0389D, Volume 12, Number 11-12, respectively.

T1  - PROPOSED LAND EXCHANGE IN THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36385463; 2864
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 Oceean 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 for 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. LEGAL MANDATES: Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965, as amended (16 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.) and National Parks and Recreation Act of 1978 (P.L. 95-625).

T1  - GRASS CREEK AND CODY RESOURCE AREAS, BIGHORN BASIN, WYOMING: WILDERNESS SUITABILITY.
AN  - 36406383; 2890
AB  - PURPOSE: Suitability or nonsuitability as wilderness of five wilderness study areas (WSAs), containing a total of 77,670 acres of land in the western portion of Bighorn Basin in north-central Wyoming are under consideration for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. The WSAs under consideration include the 710-acre Owl Creek WSA (WY-010-014), 17,150-acre Bobcat Draw Badlands WSA (WY-010-126), 23,250-acre Sheep Mountain WSA (WY-010-130), 11,350-acre Red Butte WSA (WY-010-131), and 25,210-acre McCullough Peaks WSA (WY-010-335). The Owl Creek WSA is located approximately 30 miles west of Thermopolis; Bobcat Draw Badlands WSA is located approximately 24 miles west-northwest of Worland; Sheep Mountain WSA is located approximately 18 miles west of Greybull; Red Butte WSA is located approximately 12 miles northwest of Worland; and McCullough Peaks WSA is located approximately 10 miles northeast of Cody. Under the preferred alternative, the entire Owl Creek WSA, 18,540 acres of the Bobcat Draw Badlands WSA, and 8,020 acres within the McCullough Peaks WSA would be included in the National Wilderness Preservation System, while all other lands considered in this document would be designated as nonsuitable for wilderness status and managed for multiple uses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values would be protected on approximately 28,000 acres of land within the western Big Horn Basin. Areas designated as nonsuitable for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System would be available for oil and gas development and the associated contribution to the local, regional, and national economies. Bird and upland habitat within the Red Butte WSA would be improved by efforts to provide more water during critical times of the year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Designation of the Bobcat Draw Badlands WSA as wilderness could eliminate potential development of two deep gas wells that could produce up to 10 billion cubic feet of gas within the next 20 years. Wilderness values could be lost on acreage within nondesignated areas due to oil and gas developments and other disturbing developmental encroachments. Development would disturb up to 666 acres within the Sheep Mountain WSA. Wilderness values would be lost on up to 333 acres within the Red Butte WSA due to oil and gas development; approximately 10 mule deer would be displaced. Within the McCullough WSA, wilderness values would be lost on up to 666 acres due to oil and gas exploration and development. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR PUBLIC LANDS IN THE STATE OF NEBRASKA.
AN  - 36409722; 2880
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed for public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Nebraska. The plan would cover 6,700 acres of public land surface and approximately 247,000 acres of subsurface mineral estate. The surface acreage consists of 169 parcels ranging in size from 240 acres to 0.3 acre. The breakdown of parcels is as follows: 1 is 240 acres; 3 range from 160 to 240 acres; 19 range from 80 to 160 acres; 73 range from 40 to 80 acres; 28 range from 20 to 40 acres; and 45 are less than 20 acres. There are no parcels over 240 acres. Focal issues addressed by the plan would include retention or disposal of public lands and surface disturbance. Planning criteria for coal mine screening cover wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, and land withdrawal review. Under the preferred alternative, management of mineral resources would involve the continued issuance of oil and gas leases and approval of applications to permit drilling, mandatory plugging of drill holes in areas where the Chadron aquifer is overpressured, continued issuance of uranium prospecting permits on a case-by-case basis, and continued sale or authorization of free use of sand and gravel on a case-by-case basis. A class III cultural inventory and clearance would be required as part of the project approval process. No surface occupancy would be allowed on sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places, except on the Sioux Ordnance Depot. Forestry products from public lands would be provided on a demand basis. Livestock grazing would be maintained at the current level unless range conditions deteriorate or multiple-use conflicts arise. Range improvements would be authorized. All public lands not withdrawn or classified for special purposes would be considered for disposal. Permits could be issued for collection of paleontological resources, which would otherwise be protected. Off-road vehicles would be limited to existing roads and two-track trails. Wildlife habitat would be maintained in good condition, and designated species would be given special consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Hydrocarbon and uranium resources would be developed, contributing to the local, regional, and national economies. A consistent management scheme would be provided for all BLM-administered lands in the state of Nebraska. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining and drilling activities would result in surface and subsurface disturbances. Plugging requirements in some areas of the Chadron sandstone could increase mineral development costs. Surface disturbances could negatively affect paleontological resources. Restriction of off-road vehicle use could restrict access to some previously accessible areas.

T1  - PROPOSED COKEVILLE MEADOWS NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, LINCOLN COUNTY, WYOMING.
AN  - 36409162; 2889
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 BLM. Some 20,436 acres would be purchased in fee interest, while 3,696 acres would be obtained via easements. The conservation easements would include 1,249 acres of wetlands and 2,447 acres of upland areas in multiple ownerships. An additional 2,525 acres to be purchased are currently administered by the state of Wyoming and 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: 1,560 mallards, 1,200 redheads, 650 canvasbacks, and 4,000 Canada geese. Water resources would be improved by replacement and/or renovation of the B-Q Dam and Pixley Dam and associated canals. Costs for repair of the two dams and the associated channel cleanout/repair are estimated at $800,000 and $200,000, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Refuge establishment under the preferred alternative would preserve and protect wetland habitat for migratory waterfowl and other migratory bird values in the southwest corner of Wyoming. Habitat for resident big game, small game, furbearers, and upland game birds would also be protected. 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/hayland available to the local agricultural community. Control of cattle stocking rates and a reduction in numbers of cattle as a result of decreased available forage would also impact local agriculture. Service control programs would adversely impact any domestic or feral animals found at large on the refuge. Any use of insecticides could impact nontarget species. Relocated ranchers would be required to purchase forage to maintain livestock operations where they would have previously secured hay on their own lands. Public recreation uses, particularly off-road vehicle use, would be curtailed. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 742(a)-(j)); Migratory Bird Conservation Act of 1929, as amended (16 U.S.C. 715 et seq.), and National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act of 1966 (P.L. 94-233).

T1  - FLOOD CONTROL MASTER PLAN, CLARK COUNTY REGIONAL FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT, LAS VEGAS VALLEY, CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA.
AN  - 36406082; 2941
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of flood control facilities in the Las Vegas Valley of Clark County, Nevada are proposed. The study area encompasses 984 square miles in southeastern Nevada and includes portions of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, Henderson, and unincorporated portions of Clark County. Flood control facilities would include reinforced concrete pipelines, precast boxes, lined and unlined channels, floodways, dikes and levees, detention and debris basins, and bridges. Under the preferred plan, known as the Detention/Conveyance Alternative, a series of detention basins would be developed to reduce peak flows to levels that would be accepted by the existing downstream conveyance system with little or no major capacity improvements. The general configuration and spatial location of the system would involve a number of large detention basins designed to slow the release of water to a series of interrelated facilities, including lined and unlined channels, reinforced concrete pipelines, conduits, and floodways. A 10-year facilities construction plan has been developed for fiscal years 1988-1989 through 1997-1998. Most of the construction effort would be directed toward construction of lined channels. Eighty channel segments would be constructed, representing an estimated 294,500 linear feet of construction. Eighteen box conduits and 28 box culverts would be built, along with 14 dikes/levees, extending a total length of 78,050 linear feet; most of the latter would be placed around the perimeter of the valley. The 10-year facilities would also include 19 pipeline segments (12,840 linear feet), 13 bridges (1,900 linear feet), and 5 floodways (80,000 linear feet). Miscellaneous facilities include one set of inlet works, one set of outlet works, and two culverts. A total of 21 detention basins and 1 debris basin, covering a total of 1,426 acres, would be provided. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The provision of flood protection to one of the fastest growing urban centers in the nation would help prevent loss of life and property during flash flood events in the historical floodplains and alluvial fans. The centralized plan would ensure a concerted, organized approach to flood control where current protection measures are fragmented. Of all the plans under consideration, the preferred plan would provide the greatest potential for multiuse recreational facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The plan would result in 100.84 miles of construction disturbance for linear facilities, such as channels, pipelines, and dikes/levees, as well as 2.23 square miles of disturbance from construction of detention and debris basins. Structural measures could be subject to seismic activity, soil movement, and strong winds. The presence of caliche soils and shallow groundwater could interfere with routine construction, requiring special construction practices. Structural measures could interfere with mining claims. Flood discharges from the project area could result in downstream flooding. Botanical and other wildlife resources could be affected by construction activities and the existence of facilities. Facilities would constitute topographic alterations and visual disturbances. Archaeological, historical, and Native American resources would be impacted.

T1  - BISHOP RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, INYO AND MONO COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36405687; 2856
AB  - PURPOSE: A land and resource management plan identifying management direction of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands 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 underground mineral estate. Focal issues are recreation, wildlife, minerals, and land ownership and authorizations. Additional management concerns include visual quality, cultural resources, fuelwood harvest, livestock grazing, and fire suppression. The resource management area has been subdivided into nine management areas. In addition, three east-west transmission corridor alternatives are under consideration. Under the preferred alternative, 70 percent of the locatable mineral deposits and 36 percent of the salable deposits would be open for development. From 38 to 45 percent of lands classified as class I and II for visual resources management or designated for seasonal wildlife protection lie within areas of moderate to high geothermal potential. 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. Tule elk, pronghorn sheep, fish, and riparian-aquatic organism habitats would be improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mineral developments would affect 685 acres for locatable deposits and 140 acres for salable deposits. Compliance with stipulations associated with development of geothermal resources within visual resource management areas would increase exploration and development costs by 30 to 50 percent. Regional consumptive uses of sage grouse areas would slightly degrade overall habitat quality. Quail, mule deer, and elk habitat and habitat for sensitive species 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.

T1  - SANTA FE-LOS ALAMOS CORRIDOR STUDY, PHASE C, SANTA FE AND LOS ALAMOS COUNTIES, NEW MEXICO (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JULY 1988).
AN  - 36406058; 2909
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of a shorter, more direct route between Santa Fe and Los Alamos, through Santa Fe and Los Alamos counties, New Mexico is proposed. The facility, to be known as State Road (SR) 516, would be a four-lane, divided highway with limited-access control. Four alternatives, extending 19 to 22 miles from the intersection of Interstate 25 (I-25) and the proposed Santa Fe Relief Route near Santa Fe to SR 4 near Los Alamos, are under consideration. Although SR 4 represents the construction limits for all build alternatives, SR 502, Pajarito Road, and East Jemez Road provide access to and from Los Alamos and are documented in this draft supplement to the draft environmental impact statement on the larger highway project. Improvements to the last three roadways are not part of the proposed action. The 22-mile Montoso alignment would require three bridge crossings, ranging in length from 640 feet across Chaquehui Canyon to 2,790 feet across the Rio Grande. The 19-mile Chino Mesa alternative would involve two bridge crossings, including a 1,923-foot crossing of Ancho Canyon and a 3,113-foot crossing of the Rio Grande. The 21-mile Mortandad alternative would involve two bridges, including a 500-foot crossing of Canada Ancha and a 4,562-foot crossing of the Rio Grande; this alternative would also require a temporary 300-foot construction bridge. The 22-mile Sandia Canyon alternative would require two bridges, including a 400-foot crossing of Canada Ancha and a 4,104-foot crossing of the Rio Grande. All four crossings of the Rio Grande would be in the White Rock Canyon area. The terrain from SR 4 across White Rock Canyon is mountainous. Due to the high cost of constructing deep cuts and high fills in this area, the lanes would be drawn together through this section. An interchange would be constructed to connect the facility to the Santa Fe Relief Route. Depending on the alternative alignment selected and various design decisions, cost estimates for the project range from $150.8 million to $205.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Safety conditions in the transportation of hazardous wastes from the Los Alamos National Laboratory to storage facilities would improve, and access from Santa Fe and the surrounding area to the laboratory would be eased. Egress from the laboratory for civil defense and other emergency conditions also would be improved. Construction activities would employ 1,143 to 1,560 persons. The Villa Linda Mall in Santa Fe would be more accessible to potential customers. Access to tourist and other recreational attractions in the Bandelier National Monument, the Jemez Mountains, Pajarito Ski Area, and Caja del Rio would improve. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Placement of the bridge across the Rio Grande would degrade the visual quality of White Rock Canyon significantly and could affect the scenic quality of Bandelier National Monument. Rights-of-way acquisition requirements would remove productive grazing land, result in some private property displacements, and affect land uses within the Santa Fe National Forest. Retail activity would decrease in Los Alamos. Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service lands would be displaced, reducing payments from these sources in lieu of local tax losses. Threatened and endangered animal and plant species could be impacted. Numerous archaeological sites could be affected. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

AB  - PURPOSE: Future options for managing the federally owned minerals, specifically the development of oil and gas resources, within the state of Kansas are identified and analyzed. The federally owned surface and mineral estate in Kansas encompasses more than 850,000 acres located in 90 out of 105 counties within the state. The Kansas Planning Area to be addressed in the proposed Resource Management Plan (RMP) consists of all surface and mineral estate administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), not including the 108,000 acres located in Morton and Stevens counties; the latter acreage is managed by the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service as the Cimarron National Grassland. Three RMP alternatives have been developed to describe the available options to BLM for administering federal oil and gas in Kansas. Alternative A, the Current Management Alternative, constitutes ""no action.'' Alternative C, the No Leasing Alternative, places primary emphasis on removing federal oil and gas from availability for development. Highest priority would be placed on protecting surface resources from disturbances caused by oil and gas development, and oil and gas leases would not be issued. Alternative B, the Intensive Surface Protection Alternative, is the preferred alternative. It would place primary emphasis on protecting important environmental values through the use of additional leasing stipulations. The goal of this alternative would be to change present management direction so that identified surface resource values are considered in the leasing process in a manner that provides additional protection for valuable surface resources. Under this management scheme, oil and gas leases would continue to be issued with the standard lease provisions, with surface resource protection stipulations required by executive order, law, regulation, or policy as well as additional multiresource protection stipulations needed to protect valuable surface resources. Approximately 596,000 acres would be open to leasing, and some 101,000 acres would be closed to oil and gas leasing. Additional multiresource protection lease stipulations would be required on approximately 50,000 acres, and lease notices identifying potentially important surface resources would be required on an additional 70,000 acres of the 596,000 acres open to leasing. It is estimated that approximately 20 wells would be drilled per year on federal oil and gas leases for a total of 300 wells over the 15-year planning period. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing hydrocarbon resources that would reduce the nation's dependence on foreign sources of oil, the lease developments would provide some boosts to local economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Road and drill pad development on 20 wells per year would produce small amounts of fugitive dust and other air pollutants and insignificant soil disturbances and vegetation losses on 4.25 acres per well site. Cumulative vegetation losses regardless of rehabilitation success would be approximately 1,275 acres. Loss of vegetation would represent loss of wildlife habitat, and activities associated with drilling would also result in wildlife kills. Cultural and paleontological resources located in disturbed areas would be subject to damage and/or destruction. Waste drilling fluids could present a potential source of surface water pollution, and drilling and associated activities could result in aquifer pollution. 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 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.).

T1  - GREAT DIVIDE RESOURCE AREA WILDERNESS PLAN, CARBON COUNTY, WYOMING (FORMERLY MEDICINE BOW AND DIVIDE RESOURCE AREAS).
AN  - 36385317; 2891
AB  - PURPOSE: The effects of wilderness designation or nondesignation on 11,695 acres of public lands within three wilderness study areas (WSAs) in the Great Divide Resource Area (formerly the Medicine Bow and Divide resource areas), located in Carbon County, Wyoming, are analyzed. The Great Divide Resource Area comprises 4 million acres of land, for which the surface and minerals are federally owned, and 1 million additional acres for which only the minerals are federally owned (""split estate''). WSAs under consideration include the 4,547-acre Encampment River Canyon WSA (WY-030-301), 6,003-acre Bennett Mountains WSA (WY-030-304), and 1,145-acre Prospect Mountain WSA (WY-030-303). The natural features of the three WSAs are quite diverse, ranging from granite mountains nearly barren of vegetation to aspen/pine woodlands and deep, rugged canyons. The Encampment River Canyon WSA consists of mountainous land with steep canyons and rocky slopes; elevations range from 7,200 feet to 8,545 feet. The Prospect Mountain WSA is mountainous, with dense forest cover and riparian areas; elevations range from 7,400 feet to 8,430 feet. The Bennett Mountains WSA offers a more varied topography, including mountain plateau/ridges, steep rock ledges, and many tributary draws; elevations range from 6,600 feet to 8,000 feet. Under the proposed action, the Bennett Mountains WSA would be recommended as nonsuitable for wilderness designation and would be managed for dispersed recreation, while the Prospect Mountain and Encampment River Canyon WSAs would be recommended for wilderness designation. The Encampment River Canyon WSA would be closed to off-highway vehicles; existing livestock management practices would be continued; and big game habitat enhancement would be undertaken. The Prospect Mountain WSA would prohibit such activities as road building, timber harvesting, and the use of motorized equipment and vehicles. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The WSAs designated as wilderness would be protected in their pristine, natural state for present and future generations. Features typifying the Rocky Mountain chain would be preserved. The Bennett Mountains WSA would be open to economically beneficial resource development uses and to vehicular access, allowing a broader range of recreationists to experience the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation would preclude timber harvests, reducing associated employment and tax bases. Nonwilderness designation would allow disruptive management and development practices, degrading existing wilderness values and precluding future wilderness designation for the affected WSAs. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - SOUTH FORK EEL WILD AND SCENIC RIVER MANAGEMENT PLAN, MENDOCINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36409293; 2781
AB  - PURPOSE: 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 corridor, which has been designated for inclusion in the National System of Wild and Scenic Rivers, flows for approximately 17 miles between Branscomb on the south to its confluence with the Main Stem Eel River just north of Weott. The river 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 meet with Highway 101. In 1981, 11 miles of the South Fork Eel River were designated as part of the National System of Wild and Scenic Rivers. 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 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, forest production, and land-based recreation. For the purposes of management, three river segments have been identified. Segment 1, which would be managed for recreational uses, flows from near Branscomb through the Northern California Coastal Range Preserve, ending at Horseshoe Bend. Segment 2, which would be designated wild river, enters public lands at Section 8, T. 22N, R. 16W, and extends for eight miles. Segment 3, which would be designated recreational river, begins at the middle of Section 29 and continues north to the 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. 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. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of campsites and harvests of timber along the river could result in some visual intrusions. Some Douglas firs would be removed, decreasing the availability of spotted owl habitat. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.).

T1  - SOUTH FORK AND MERCED WILD AND SCENIC RIVER IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, MARIPOSA AND MADERA COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36408381; 2780
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed for portions of the Merced and South Fork Merced rivers within the Sierra National Forest and on lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management in Mariposa and Madera counties, California. The river corridors, which are designated as wild, scenic, or recreational rivers within the National System of Wild and Scenic Rivers, include 36 miles of river. A total of 21 miles of the South Fork Merced River is under consideration; the affected segment extends from the Sierra National Forest/Yosemite National Park boundary to the confluence with the Merced River. The segment along the South Fork Merced River has been divided into four segments, which are classified variously as wild, scenic, or recreational. The 15-mile portion of the Merced River under consideration is within the Sierra National Forest and lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management; the affected segment extends from the El Portal Administrative Site (administered by Yosemite National Park) and the Sierra National Forest boundary to a point 300 feet upstream of the confluence with Bear Creek. The entire length of the Merced River segment would be classified as recreational. Issues considered in developing the management plan include cultural and historic resources, fire management, fisheries and wildlife habitat, geology and soils, grazing, recreation resources, land ownership and use, mineral resources, socioeconomic factors, threatened and endangered species, vegetation, visual resources, and water resources. Four alternative management schemes are under consideration. Depending on the alternative selected, the plan could involve some rehabilitation of historical resources associated with Hite Cove and development of facilities, including trails, for recreational enhancement. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Regardless of the alternative chosen, the management plan would protect the free-flowing character of the rivers and enhance the values associated with their inclusion in the National System of Wild and Scenic Rivers, and would provide recreational opportunities within the capability of the available resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Trail development and other recreational development could have some impact on the naturalness of the corridors' appearances. Expansion of commercial activities within the corridors could be limited, and exploitive mineral entry would be foregone. Some restrictions could impede or prevent expansion of opportunities for public access.

T1  - AB LATERAL HYDROPOWER FACILITY, UNCOMPAHGRE VALLEY RECLAMATION PROJECT, MONTROSE AND DELTA COUNTIES, COLORADO.
AN  - 36391973; 2770
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of an AB Lateral Hydropower Facility, known as the Uncompahgre Valley Reclamation Project (UVRP), in Montrose and Delta counties, Colorado are proposed. The facility would be located in west-central Colorado near the city of Montrose. The AB Lateral Project would use the existing Gunnison Diversion Dam, Gunnison Tunnel, part of the South Canal, and an enlarged AB Lateral near Montrose to deliver water to a proposed penstock and power plant. The Bureau of Reclamation, which administers the Uncompahgre irrigation project, is considering executing a lease of power privilege (contract) to permit the use of federal facilities for this project. The new facility would be funded, built, and used by the Uncompahgre Valley Water Users Association (UVWUA) and Montrose Partners. The preferred project alternative would provide for diversion of 1,135 cubic feet per second of water from the Gunnison River through the existing Gunnison Tunnel to a penstock and power plant near Montrose, Colorado. The tunnel empties into the Uncompahgre River. The large difference in elevations between the inlet of the tunnel at the Gunnison River and its outlet at the Uncompahgre River creates the potential for hydropower production. A portion of the flows that would be diverted would be used for power generation, while the remainder would be used for irrigation. Power from the proposed facility would be sold to local utilities. Diversions of water from the Gunnison River would be reduced during ice buildup. During summer months, additional water would be delivered to the Uncompahgre River upstream of Montrose. Mean annual diversions from the Gunnison River would be 661,090 acre-feet. For the initial 15 years of project operation, capacity and energy would be sold to the Public Service Company of Colorado; after that period, a different power sales agreement would be arranged. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The energy potential of water flows from the Gunnison River through the Gunnison Tunnel to the Uncompahgre River would be developed for economic uses. The existing irrigation system of the UVRP would be improved substantially, and UVWUA revenues for debt retirement and system improvement would be enhanced. Flows along some stretches of the Uncompahgre River would be increased; employment opportunities within the Montrose-Delta area would be diversified; and recreational opportunities along the Gunnison River would increase. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Diversions from the Gunnison River would increase, with the greatest increase occurring during the nonirrigation season. On an annual basis, the volume of water in the Gunnison River downstream of the tunnel would decline significantly. Flows in the Uncompahgre River would decrease along some stretches. Between the North Fork confluence and Delta, the Gunnison River would become narrower. Approximately 234 acres of land, including 12 acres of wetlands, would be affected due to facilities construction. Permanent land use changes would occur on only 30 of the 127 acres needed for operation of the hydropower facility. A total of 24 acres of grazing land would be displaced. Less than one percent of the total known population of the endangered clay-loving wild buckwheat would be eliminated during construction. Changes in river flows and accompanying ice conditions could affect use of the Gunnison River by bald eagles. LEGAL MANDATES: Public Law 76-698.

T1  - CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF THE SUPERCONDUCTING SUPER COLLIDER (SSC), ELLIS COUNTY, TEXAS (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF DECEMBER 1988).
AN  - 36384601; 2798
AB  - PURPOSE: The proposed action is the construction and operation of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) at the selected site in Ellis County, Texas. This draft supplement to the final environmental impact statement (EIS) of December 1988 addresses design changes in the SSC project. The SSC, which would be the largest scientific instrument ever built, would be a laboratory facility designed to investigate the basic structure of matter. More specifically, the SSC would be a particle accelerator capable of accelerating two counter-rotating beams of protons to energy levels of 20 trillion electron volts. The beams would be directed to collide with one another to create collisions at energies up to 40 trillion electron volts. Specific design requirements developed since the final EIS and from information gained through geotechnical test borings taken at the Texas site have resulted in a more exact location for the collider ring, service areas, east and west campus areas, utility lines, access roads, and other project features. Infrastructure requirements are defined more accurately, 8 service areas have been added for a total of 18, and each service area will now cover 50 acres rather than the 5.7 acres specified in the final EIS. The construction phase would include continued design, as well as physical establishment of the tunnel, fabrication of technical components, construction of surface facilities and campus areas, and creation of infrastructure connections (roads and utility corridors). The operating life of the SSC is expected to be 25 to 35 years. The decommissioning phase would involve the removal, closure, decontamination, and other activities designed to remove the SSC, including its support facilities, from service. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The basic purpose of the SSC would be to gain a better understanding of the fundamental nature of matter. The SSC would provide the United States with the capability of maintaining its world leadership in the field of high energy physics. In addition to providing scientific data, the SSC could be a source of spin-off technology that could have applications to other fields. Within the past 10 years, the technology developed for high energy physics has made new products possible, including equipment used for medical diagnostics and therapy, improved computer components, and new superconducting magnet technology. Activities at the site would provide numerous employment opportunities, and local, state, and regional economies would generally benefit from SSC-related expenditures. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the SSC would consume appreciable amounts of construction materials, primarily cement. Land used for the SSC would pass from private or state ownership to the Federal Government. At least a short-term decline in local and state tax bases would result from the transfer of lands to federal ownership. Operation of the SSC would require a continuous supply of electric power and water. Some wetlands could be displaced, and habitat for threatened or endangered species could be lost. Planned construction of the Red Oak Reservoir near the Texas site could be altered due to the reservoir's proximity to the a service area related to the SSC. Some surface areas at four of the 18 service areas at the Texas site would be subject to flooding during the 100-year flood.

T1  - KALAUPAPA AIRPORT, ROADWAYS, AND WHARF, KALAUPAPA, MOLOKAI, HAWAII.
AN  - 36406899; 2753
AB  - PURPOSE: Improvement of airport facilities on the northeastern 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 runway is not level, and the pavement is showing signs of distress in several areas. The airport includes three buildings: a 1,017-square-foot terminal, a 1,229-square-foot maintenance/office building, and a storage shed. Airport facility requirements that would be made from mid-1991 through 1992 would 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 strengthing 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 small aircraft that serve the airport, reduce operation and maintenance costs, provide the patients and 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. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities could disturb sites of historic and archaeologic significance. LEGAL MANDATES: Airport and Airway Improvements Act of 1982, as amended (P.L. 97-248), Airport and Airways Safety Expansion Act of 1987, and Public Law 96-565.

T1  - SPIRIT MOUNTAIN, FORT MOJAVE INDIAN RESERVATION, CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA AND SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36405510; 2812
AB  - PURPOSE: Development of a destination resort and a planned residential community on approximately 4,000 acres of land in the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation of Clark County, Nevada and San Bernardino County, California is proposed. The reservation is located approximately 125 miles south of Las Vegas and comprises an area of 5,582 acres in Clark County, Nevada; 12,663 acres in San Bernardino County, California; and 23,669 acres in Mohave County, Arizona. The reservation is located in Mohave Valley and bordered by the Black, Dead, and Newberry Mountain ranges. The Mojave Indian Tribe would lease two sites within this planned community to two separate developers who would assist the tribe in specific planning, construction, financing, marketing, and management of these sites. The lease sites are located in Clark County, Nevada and San Bernardino County, California. The Movada Group proposes to lease approximately 1,000 acres of Indian trust land for a period of approximately 75 years under the terms and conditions of the lease agreement. The American Land Development Corporation proposes to lease approximately 1,200 acres of Indian trust land for a period of 90 years under the terms and conditions of the lease agreement. The Movada Group would include a Town Center, three hotel/casinos with 2,000 rooms, 2,007 residential units, 30 acres of recreational vehicle spaces, 18-hole and 9-hole executive golf courses and associated facilities, a 75-acre lake, mixed office/retail uses, public facilities, a school, a neighborhood park, and other open spaces. The American Land Development Corporation would develop a residential complex adjacent to the Movada Group development. This development would include 10,280 residential units, an 18-hole golf course with associated facilities, a community park with open-air amphitheater, neighborhood parks, mixed office/retail uses, and a school. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of the land would provide economic, social, and recreational benefits to current and future residents. Extensive economic benefits, including numerous jobs, would be provided to members of the Mojave Tribe, while social and recreational benefits would redound to tribe members and nontribal persons. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Consumptive uses would require approximately 3,500 acre-feet of water annually to meet the needs of the project at build-out; this water would be removed from the Colorado River's near-surface aquifer and would not be available for other tribal activities or downstream uses. Approximately 1,000 to 1,200 acres of vegetation and associated wildlife habitat would be affected. Growth in the local population would increase pressure on air quality, transportation facilities, housing, school resources, and other social services. Facilities associated with the development would impinge visually on area aesthetics. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (P.L. 100-497).

T1  - GEORGE P. COLEMAN BRIDGE YORK RIVER CROSSING STUDY, YORK AND GLOUCESTER COUNTIES, VIRGINIA.
AN  - 36392627; 2808
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of the George P. Coleman Bridge across the York River in Virginia is proposed to improve the connection between York and Gloucester counties. The study area for the project includes portions of Gloucester, York, and James City counties and a 20-mile section of the York River. The existing bridge is a two-lane, 0.71-mile facility, with double-swing spans, crossing the York River in southeastern Virginia at Yorktown. It is the only York River crossing south of West Point, a community 30 miles upriver. The proposed action would involve widening the existing bridge from a two-lane to a four-lane facility, with shoulders and a median barrier. The alignment would begin near the intersection of Route 17 and Route 1012 (Alexander Hamilton Boulevard) in York County. It would follow Route 17 across the existing Coleman Bridge and end near the entrance to Tindalls Point Park in Gloucester County, a distance of 1.4 miles. The roadway expansion would be symmetrical around the centerline of the existing bridge. Existing two-lane approach roads would also be widened to match the bridge widening. The estimated cost of the project is $72.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the proposed project would expand the vehicular capacity for crossing the York River in the vicinity of the existing George P. Coleman Bridge, thereby reducing current traffic congestion and delays during peak periods; match the approach road capacity of four lanes, thereby eliminating temporary backups and merging delays; minimize mechanical failure of the swing span, thereby reducing maintenance and temporary congestion; and facilitate the movement of emergency and rescue equipment. Travel between the peninsulas is critical to the continued social and economic health of the region, which includes the rural outlying counties of King and Queen, Middlesex, and Mathews, and the urbanized areas of James City, Hampton, Newport News, and Norfolk. No families or businesses would be displaced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: A portion of the local property tax bases would be lost. Approximately 11 residences, 4 institutions, and 16 acres of parkland would experience increased noise levels. Approximately 0.1 acre of wetlands and recreational lands would be impacted during construction. Numerous historical and archaeological sites could be damaged, and the existing Coleman Bridge, which is eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, would be affected. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - SOUTH DELTA WATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36409541; 2821
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of the South Delta Water Management Program is proposed within the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta of southern California. The 150,000-acre South Delta area generally comprises the lands and channels of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta southwest of Stockton. The area contains approximately 120,000 acres of irrigated agricultural lands, with the remaining land consisting of waterways, berms, channel islands, levees, and lands devoted to homes and industries. Approximately 450,000 acre-feet of water are diverted from the 75 miles of South Delta channels each year to irrigate the fully developed and highly productive agricultural land. Included in the study area is the South Delta Water Agency, as defined in the Formation Act, California Statutes of 1973. Important features of the State Water Project (SWP) and Central Valley Project (CVP) are also located in the study area. Issues affecting implementation of the management program include water rights, water supplies, water quality, and the environment. The preferred management plan would involve: (1) enlargement of the Clifton Court Forebay to more than 5,000 surface acres, with new intakes at Old River and/or Middle River at the west and east ends of North Victoria Canal; (2) enlargement of some existing South Delta channels to improve conveyance and capacity; (3) acquisition of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit to increase the diversion capability to allow for the Banks Pumping Plant capacity of 10,300 cubic feet per second (cfs); and (4) construction of up to four mitigation and enhancement barrier-type facilities in South Delta channels to improve the water level and circulation. The new pumping capability at the Banks Plant would be used mainly during high-flow months; more than 80 percent of the time, pumping rates would be lower than 8,000 cfs. Mitigation features could be implemented independently of the forebay expansion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Program measures would improve and maintain water levels, circulation patterns, and water quality in the South Delta area for local agricultural diversions; improve SWP and CVP water supply reliability through enhanced capabilities for banking water supplies and improved water quality; provide the opportunity to interconnect with the Clifton Court Forebay and improve the water quality for Contra Costa Canal deliveries, which would be treated for use as drinking water supplies; improve navigation and flood protection; and increase recreational opportunities. The value of all benefits provided to the service areas, without considering the additional water supply benefits of the Los Banos Grandes Reservoir and Kern Water Bank, would amount to $35.0 million per year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: To the extent that water deliveries through SWP facilities would increase due to implementation of the management plan, SWP energy requirements would also increase. The estimated annual increase in energy requirements would total 800 gigaWatt hours (GWh), 200 GWh of which would be recovered by SWP recovery generation on the aqueduct. Enlargement of the forebay would displace 3,000 acres of agricultural land that provides habitat for wildlife. Changes to the Sacramento River flow and SWP exports could cause some negative impacts to migrating salmon and steelhead trout. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - QUESTAR PIPELINE COMPANY MAIN LINE NO. 41 REROUTE AT SKYLINE MINE, MANTI-LA SAL NATIONAL FOREST, UTAH.
AN  - 36401824; 2689
AB  - PURPOSE: Issuance of a special use permit to the Questar Pipeline Company is proposed to allow for relocation of a 4.25-mile section of buried, 18-inch, natural-gas-transmission pipeline on the Manti-La Sal National Forest in Utah. The project area is located north of Electric Lake in Sanpete, Carbon, and Emery counties. The area lies at the western edge of the Wasatch Plateau, an area composed of coal-bearing strata, sandstone, siltstone, mudstone, and shale. The existing pipeline, Main Line No. 41, has been operating since 1953. The pipeline crosses the Skyline Mine permit area, affecting 14.9 million tons of recoverable coal reserves. Utah Fuel Company, owner of the Skyline Mine, proposes to begin mining these reserves in the fall of 1990. Questar Pipeline is pursuing an amendment to its special use permit at the request of Utah Fuel Company to enable mining activities to proceed this Fall. The preferred rerouting alternative is approximately 15.1 miles long, requiring construction of 5.9 miles of new pipeline. Construction would require approximately 40 days and would be completed this year. Estimated construction, land acquisition, and reclamation costs amount to $2.95 million, and annual maintenance costs are estimated at $28,062. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Relocating the pipeline would avoid potential damage and costly repairs that could be caused by coal-mining activities. The safe operation and maintenance of the pipeline would ensure gas service to 70,000 residential and commercial consumers in the region, including Utah Valley south to St. George. The new pipeline route would have little effect on current coal-mining operations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 2.6 to 2.9 million tons of recoverable coal ($5.2 to $5.8 million in federal royalties) would underlie the segments proposed for new pipeline construction. Short-term moderate visual impacts would occur during construction along Highway 264, a proposed National Scenic Byway. A long-term moderate visual impact would occur where trees would be removed on the steep-sloped wall of Burnout Canyon, which is visible to travelers heading south on Highway 264. Approximately 3.3 miles of pipeline would traverse riparian wetlands. Some 110 acres of rangeland would be impacted, resulting in a loss of 13 animal unit months of forage, and 424,000 board feet of timber would be displaced. Some stream fishery impacts could be expected, and some cultural resources would probably be impacted. LEGAL MANDATES: National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 90-0149D, Volume 14, Number 3.

T1  - POWDER RIVER I REGIONAL COAL, MONTANA AND WYOMING: MONTANA PORTION (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF DECEMBER 1981).
AN  - 36408855; 2690
AB  - PURPOSE: Leasing of federal coal tracts in the Powder River I Coal Region of Montana is proposed. This final supplement to the final environmental impact statement (EIS) of December 1981 assesses the economic, social, and cultural impacts to the Northern Cheyenne and Crow Tribes from the proposed leasing action; it responds to the decisions and orders of the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana in Civil Case No. 82-116-BLG-JFB, issued May 28, 1985 and October 6, 1986. The leasing alternatives in this supplement affect alternatives 2A, 2B, and 4 and contain 567 million, 389 million, and 816 million tons, respectively, of recoverable federal coal. In addition, this supplemental EIS contains two ""no-action'' alternatives: the High Baseline Alternative and the Low Baseline Alternative. Both of these baselines assume that no Powder River I leasing would occur. The High Baseline Alternative would include existing power plants and coal mines in the study area, plus the following five privately proposed projects, none of which involve leasing of Powder River I federal coal tracts: the Montco coal mine, CX Ranch coal mine, Greenleaf-Miller coal mine, Wolf Mountain coal mine, and Tongue River Railroad. The Low Baseline Alternative would include only existing power plants and mines in the study area. The leasing alternatives would involve a variety of new mine tract mixes in Montana. All of the leasing alternatives contain the same six expansion/extension tracts and different mixes of new mine tracts. The preferred alternative would contain the common six expansion/extension tracts as well as the new Cook Mountain, Coal Creek, and Northwest Otter Creek mine tracts; this alternative would involve 567 million tons of recoverable coal. Average annual mining under the preferred alternative would lead to the production of 27 million tons of coal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to contributing to regional and national energy needs, operation of the leases would boost the local economy of the Powder River, including the economies of the Northern Cheyenne and Crow tribes. Tribal employment rolls and other long-term socioeconomic indicators would increase substantially. The Northern Cheyenne would experience improved infrastructural arrangements near their northern reservation boundary. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The influx of personnel and their families into the area would place stress on tribal social resources and infrastructure; these pressures would particularly affect the Ashland/St. Labre area. Conflicts among Native American groups and between Native Americans and non-Native Americans would increase. The influx of non-Native residents would detract from the homeland feeling of the reservations to Native residents. Those residents who enjoy the rural life-style and/or isolation of the Northern Cheyenne and Crow reservations would experience a decrease in the quality of life. Spiritual and cultural impacts would affect both tribes. Cultural and archaeological sites would be disrupted. LEGAL MANDATES: American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978 (P.L. 95-341), Federal Coal Leasing Amendments Act of 1976 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).

T1  - GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN, LASSEN VOLCANIC NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1981).
AN  - 36403449; 2699
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for development and visitor use within Lassen Volcanic National Park, located approximately 30 miles north of Sierra Nevada at the southern edge of the Cascade Range in northeastern California, is proposed. This final supplement to the final EIS of January 1981 on the general management plan examines the impacts of returning certain traditional visitor uses to the Manzanita Lake area of the park. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), under which structures from the Chaos Jumbles area would be removed and Loops A and B of the Manzanita Lake Campground would be reopened, as in the General Management Plan, are considered in this final EIS. Alternative B would retain historic fabric. Cultural resource structures would be repaired and retained, but human use of these structures would not be allowed, and Loops A and B of the campground would remain closed. Under Alternative C (the proposed action), the historic structures would be retained, refurbished, and used adaptively for visitor use and other park purposes. The nature and environmental trails at Reflection Lake and Lily Pond would be reopened for visitor use. The Reflection Lake picnic area would be refurbished. Loops A and B of the Manzanita Lake Campground would be left closed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Significant visitor use gains would be achieved through reopening of the nature trails and adaptive use of the historic structures. Cultural values would be preserved. Approximately 25 acres, including 3 acres of sensitive lakefront environment, now occupied by Loops A and B of the campground, would be allowed to revert or be restored to natural conditions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Less than one acre of natural environment would be displaced to reopen trails and improve the necessary access road. A small amount of acreage now occupied by historic structures, nature trails, and a picnic area would continue to be displaced. Although the campsites that would be lost through abandonment of the loops would be replaced elsewhere, the experience of camping in immediate association with the lake would be gainsaid. Hazards associated with geologic activity in the visitor use area would continue to be a threat to visitors. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Order 11593 and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements (EISs) and the draft supplement to the final EIS, see 77-0882D, Volume 1, Number 9; 81-0188F, Volume 5, Number 3; and 89-0334D, Volume 13, Number 6, respectively.

T1  - ROANOKE RIVER PARKWAY, BEDFORD, FRANKLIN, AND ROANOKE COUNTIES, VIRGINIA.
AN  - 36408271; 2730
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of a 9.1-mile extension of the Blue Ridge Parkway along the Roanoke River is proposed as a demonstration project in Bedford, Franklin, and Roanoke counties, Virginia. The highway segment, to be known as the Roanoke River Parkway, would extend from the Roanoke/Vinton city limits to Smith Mountain Lake. This alignment would cross the Roanoke River twice. The proposed alignment would have termini at the Blue Ridge Parkway and Explore Park, a 1,700-acre project to be developed east of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The parkway project design would include provisions for a visitor center to orient visitors on the Blue Ridge and Roanoke River parkways to the Roanoke Valley. The project would also include provisions for recreational facility development; proposed facilities would be for day use and would allow for picnicking, fishing, kayaking, and canoeing. Overlooks and waysides would also be developed. Facility development would depend on the demand for additional recreational opportunities as the parkway is developed. 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 parkway protection area would be established. This area would create a setting similar to that along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The estimated parkway construction costs are $78.9 million; structural mitigation costs would be an additional $200,000. Visitor center costs are estimated at $7.5 million; recreational facilities are estimated at $5.6 million; and acquisition costs associated with the parkway protection area are estimated at $10.6 million. Annual parkway operations would cost approximately $600,000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Highway operations would allow the public an opportunity to witness and understand the aesthetic and natural resources associated with the Roanoke Valley and the Blue Ridge Mountain system. The project would preserve and conserve the natural and scenic environment of the river and would promote tourist development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Roanoke River would be traversed twice, and eight percent of the alignment would lie within the 100-year floodplain of the river. Water resources would be affected by the construction of river and stream crossings. Twenty acres of wetlands would be affected. One federally listed endangered species, the Roanoke logperch, could be affected in the Tinker Creek area. Two historic structures and six archaeological sites that may be eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places could be affected. The parkway would intrude on the scenic quality of the Roanoke River corridor. Traffic congestion would affect the corridor between Explore Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway during peak traffic hours. Commuter use of the parkway would further contribute to peak-hour congestion. The alignment would pass near the Southampton apartments and Vinton Heights subdivision. Rights-of-way acquisitions would affect 16 private residences and 1 industrial site. LEGAL MANDATES: Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1987 (P.L. 100-17).

T1  - LOW-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE FACILITY, WARD VALLEY, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36384166; 2666
AB  - PURPOSE: 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 is located near the northern end of Ward Valley and covers 1.5 square miles (including a buffer zone). 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. A BLM rights-of-way must also be granted to provide access to the facility between Interstate 40 (I-40) and the northern property boundary of the facility. 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, and fuel and water tanks; and flood protection and drainage control berms. Project implementation would also require methods for handling and disposal 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 longer half-lives. Class C waste is composed principally of radionuclides with longer half-lives. No high-level radioactive wastes or nuclear weapons-related wastes would be accepted, nor would hazardous wastes 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: Establishment and operation of the facility would allow California to meet its federal mandate to dispose of low-level radioactive wastes. The project would also provide a facility for similar wastes from three other states. A safe, efficient means would be provided for the disposal of the target wastes. 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. Operation and subsequent management of the site would result in some safety hazards because of possible safety-system failures; these impacts could affect water and air quality, associated human health status, and the biological resources of the surrounding desert environment. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.) and Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act of 1980 (P.L. 99-240).

T1  - MANAGEMENT OF THE COMMON RAVEN IN THE CALIFORNIA DESERT CONSERVATION AREA.
AN  - 36405521; 2627
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan for management of the common raven in the California Desert Conservation Area is proposed. Raven predation on juvenile desert tortoises, a federally listed endangered species and state-listed threatened species, has significantly affected desert tortoise populations, resulting in lowered numbers and reduced survival rates for juvenile desert tortoises. Under the proposed management scheme, using a combination of lethal and nonlethal means of raven control, regional inventories would be conducted to locate sites of raven predation on desert tortoises. Containment practices at landfills and sewage treatment ponds near or within areas of excessive tortoise predation would be modified. Raven nesting and perching would be reduced by using antiperch wire, selective destruction of nests, and modification of some structures. Selective lethal raven control would also be initiated by using both poisoned baits and shooting. Nonlethal techniques that would be experimentally applied include conditioned taste aversion, timed destruction of raven nests, egg addling, placement of antiperch devices, live-trapping and offsite release of birds, modification of human waste containment practices, and sterilization. Additional information on the ecology of the raven and the effectiveness of different management techniques would be obtained through several studies. Lethal management methods would be applied during the short-term, while long-term, regional management would involve an ecological approach based on population inventories and other research. An interagency coordination component would include the establishment of a workshop that would meet regularly to discuss raven management actions, funding, and scheduling. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The raven management plan would provide the framework for initiating a multiagency program with the goal of restoring a balanced predator /prey relationship between the desert tortoise and raven populations in the California Desert Conservation Area. The biology of the raven would be improved through research and monitoring. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Raven populations throughout the desert area would decline. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), and Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, as amended (16 U.S.C. 701 et seq.).

T1  - COMPREHENSIVE IMPACTS OF PERMIT DECISIONS TO CONDUCT SURFACE COAL MINING OPERATIONS UNDER TENNESSEE FEDERAL PROGRAM (ADOPTION OF THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MARCH 1985 PREPARED BY THE DEPARTMEMT OF THE INTERIOR, OFFICE OF SURFACE MINING, RECLAMATION, AND ENFORCEMENT).
AN  - 36404899; 2616
AB  - PURPOSE: In March 1985, the Office of Surface Mining, Reclamation, and Enforcement (OSMRE) of the Department of the Interior filed a final environmental impact statement assessing the potential environmental impacts on issuances of coal mining permit applications in Tennessee. Representative model mines were developed to evaluate the range of impacts associated with the coal mining that could result if permits were issued. With the present final environmental impact statement, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is adopting the final environmental impact statement of March 1985 issued by OSMRE, which TVA has determined adequately assesses the potential cumulative environmental impacts of coal-leasing decisions TVA may make respecting its coal properties in Tennessee. TVA acquired various coal and associated surface rights from 1961 through 1985 to ensure an adequate supply of fuel for its fossil-fueled power plants. TVA's Koppers coal property, which consists of 52,941 acres of coal and associated surface rights within the Wartburg Basin and Cumberland Block regions, was purchased by TVA in 1962 from the Koppers Company. This property is approximately 35 miles northwest of Knoxville and lies principally in Campbell County, Tennessee, with a small portion in Scott County. TVA does not own the surface, but the associated surface rights include the right to mine and remove coal by any mining process and to use so much of the surface of said land as may be necessary to effect such mining and removal. Mining methods include underground, area, contour, mountaintop removal, and auger mining. Surface interest is held in large tracts by private landowners. These surface owners can engage in activities that impact surface features and the environment without TVA's approval or involvement. Three alternatives to the proposed leasing of all of the Koppers property were considered by TVA: (l) sell coal leases and associated surface rights but limit the degree of concurrent mining, (2) sell coal leases and associated surface rights with restrictions on the types of mining methods used, and (3) no action. TVA's proposed action is to sell at public auction to the highest bidder conditional coal leases, including associated surface rights on the Koppers property. Lessees would have all rights, privileges, and easements that TVA holds and would assume all of TVA's duties and responsibilities under TVA's deed. Since release of the FEIS in 1985, only 2,995 surface acres have been disturbed by mining in the Wartburg Basin and Cumberland Block regions. OSMRE projected that 9,425 acres would be disturbed during this time period; thus, impacts have been less than projected. During this same 5-year period, only exploration drilling has occurred on TVA's Koppers property. Working with its coal lessees and OSMRE, TVA would ensure that coal mining activities that could result from the leasing of TVA coal reserves are conducted in an environmentally acceptable manner. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Leasing TVA's Koppers properties could result in the mining of more than 25 million tons of coal. TVA estimates that over the next 10 to 15 years there could be 5 to 10 relatively small leases (less than 1,000 acres) and 2 to 3 larger leases sold. Because some of these mines would be underground, total surface disturbance would be less than the total leased acreage. TVA estimates that leasing all of the Koppers property could produce approximately $50 million in revenues for TVA. These revenues would assist TVA in its efforts to maintain low rates for electricity to consumers in the region. Mining of the TVA coal underlying the Koppers property would stimulate the local economy for the duration of the mining and help to revitalize the mining industry in the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Limiting concurrent mining or restricting mining methods would result in less than maximum recovery of the coal resource, less revenue from coal royalties, and fewer jobs created. Cumulative hydrologic impacts in this region would be potentially significant due to the inability of certain drainages to accommodate additional levels of contaminants. LEGAL MANDATES: Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.) and Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 (16 U.S.C. 831 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements prepared by the Department of the Interior, OSMRE, see 84-0576D, Volume 8, Number 12, and 85-0148F, Volume 9, Number 4, respectively.

T1  - UNCOMPAHGRE BASIN RESOURCE AREA, MONTROSE DISTRICT, COLORADO: WILDERNESS PLAN.
AN  - 36405081; 2631
AB  - PURPOSE: Designation or nondesignation as wilderness of three wilderness study areas (WSAs) within the Uncompahgre Basin Resource Area in the Montrose District of Colorado is analyzed. The WSAs are the 21,038-acre Gunnison Gorge WSA, 10,402-acre Camel Back WSA, and 10,425-acre Adobe Badlands WSA. The proposed management plan would recommend the entire Gunnison Gorge WSA, plus an additional 1,040 acres adjacent to the WSA, for inclusion in the National Wilderness System and the entire Camel Back WSA and Adobe Badlands WSA as nonwilderness areas. The area to be added to the Gunnison Gorge WSA would consist of 880 acres in the Gunnison Gorge canyon and Smith Fork tributary, as well as 160 acres of private mineral estate within the Gunnison Gorge WSA. Within the Camel Back WSA, approximately 7,240 acres would be managed for livestock grazing and 2,482 acres would be managed for deer and elk winter range; 12 range improvements, 4 stock reservoirs, and 8 depression ponds, would be planned. Improvement of riparian habitat would be emphasized on 680 acres. The Camel Back WSA would be closed to off-road vehicle (ORV) use. The Adobe Badlands WSA would be divided into three management units and managed under multiple-use objectives to (1) protect a 6,783-acre area designated as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC); (2) improve wildlife habitat on 1,927 acres; and (3) control salinity contributions to the Colorado River System on 1,715 acres. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation would expand the adjacent Black Canyon of the Gunnison Wilderness Area and provide statutory, long-term protection of wilderness values on 22,078 acres. Outstanding opportunities for solitude and primitive, unconfined recreation would be maintained within the Gunnison Gorge WSA. Habitat and forage conditions would be maintained for the area's present year-long population of 50 to 60 bighorn sheep and 35 deer, and an additional 579 deer and 125 elk would be provided for during the winter. Restrictions on recreation within the Gunnison Gorge WSA and ORV restrictions for the Adobe Badlands WSA would reduce pressure on wildlife. Nevertheless, recreational use would increase by 40 percent within the Gunnison Gorge WSA. Wilderness values would remain largely unchanged on the Camel Back WSA and on 6,783 acres within the ACEC in the Adobe Badlands WSA. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 5,793 acres within the Gunnison Gorge WSA would be closed to mineral entry, foregoing economically beneficial mineral developments on the affected lands. An additional 5,443 acres within the WSA, 690 acres in Smith Fork Canyon, and 160 acres of acquired private mineral estate would be closed to mineral entry, location, and leasing. Wilderness values would be degraded due to ORV use on 3,642 acres within the Adobe Badlands ACEC, and naturalness on the Adobe Badlands WSA would be lost on approximately 140 acres due to wildlife habitat treatment. Exploration activities at two to five oil and gas wells would degrade wilderness values on 4 to 10 acres over the next 20 to 30 years. Recreational use of the Adobe Badlands WSA would decline by 80 percent.

T1  - PROPOSED PERMIT APPLICATION, BLACK MESA-KAYENTA MINE, NAVAJO AND HOPI INDIAN RESERVATIONS, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36407905; 2610
AB  - PURPOSE: Issuance of permits to consolidate all Peabody Coal Company-owned and -operated mining and mining-related activities within the Black Mesa-Kayenta mine in Arizona is proposed. The permits would allow for surface coal mining and reclamation activities during the life of the mine. Currently, the Black Mesa-Kayenta mine, located approximately 125 miles northeast of Flagstaff and 10 miles southwest of Kayenta, Arizona, consists of two separate but adjacent mining operations. The two units are the Black Mesa mine, which produces approximately 5 million tons of coal per year, and the Kayenta mine, which produces approximately 7 million tons per year. The proposed permit area would cover 62,753.34 acres of Hopi and Navajo tribal lands. The applicant would produce 292 million tons of coal from the new disturbance area between 1986 and 2011. Mining and reclamation activities would continue through 2023 (the proposed life of the mine). The applicant has previously been awarded two permits to mine coal at the mining complex. Between 1970 and the end of 1985, mining activities disturbed approximately 6,444 acres within these two permit areas. The proposed federal permit would combine the previously issued permits under one permit and authorize the applicant to disturb an additional 13,787.4 acres throughout the remaining life of the mine and to upgrade a number of the existing mine-related facilities to meet current federal performance standards. Coal would continue to be extracted using the dragline and truck-and-shovel open-pit methods and would be processed using existing in-place facilities owned and operated by the applicant within the new permit area. Processed coal would be transported from the Black Mesa Mine to the Mohave Generating Station via an existing slurry pipeline owned and operated by the Black Mesa Pipeline Company and from the Kayenta Mine to the Navajo Generating Station via the existing Black Mesa and Lake Powell Railroad. POSITIVE IMPACTS: New activities authorized under the permit would result in the production of 292 million tons of coal between 1986 and 2011. The applicant, which employs 1,000 persons at the mine, would continue to provide employment to local residents; 90 percent of the current employees are Native Americans. Regional power needs would continue to be met. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Vegetative diversity would be impacted severely due to the conversion of 9,046 acres of pinyon-juniper woodlands, 4,485 acres of shrubland, and 87 acres of other vegetation to grassland. Major socioeconomic impacts would occur to the Hopi Tribe's fiscal status and ability to provide human services over the long term. Mining activities would create fugitive dust, displace grazing land, and damage cultural resources. Outcrop and other topographic features characterizing the mine sites would be leveled, and sacred ceremonial sites could be degraded. Cropland within the area would be displaced, and formation of acid and other toxins would degrade soil quality and reduce the vegetative carrying capacity of the affected lands. Surface and groundwater levels could decline due to pumping of the N-aquifer. Wildlife habitat, including that of certain threatened or endangered species, could be affected. The population base of the Hopi and Navajo reservations could be changed. Regional transport and recreation facilities could be stressed. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).

T1  - QUESTAR PIPELINE COMPANY, MAIN LINE NO. 41 REROUTE PROJECT, MANTI-LA SAL NATIONAL FOREST, UTAH.
AN  - 36408165; 2619
AB  - PURPOSE: Issuance of a special use permit to the Questar Pipeline Company is proposed to allow for relocation of a 4.25-mile section of a buried, 18-inch, natural gas pipeline located on the Manti-La Sal National Forest. The project area is located north of Electric Lake in Sanpete, Carbon, and Emery counties, Utah. The area lies at the western edge of the Wasatch Plateau, an area composed of coal-bearing strata, sandstone, siltstone, mudstone, and shale. The existing pipeline, Main Line No. 41, has been operating since 1953. The pipeline crosses the Skyline Mine permit area, affecting 14.9 million tons of recoverable coal reserves. Utah Fuel Company, owner of the Skyline Mine, proposes to begin mining these reserves in the fall of 1990. Questar Pipeline is pursuing an amendment to its special use permit at the request of Utah Fuel Company to enable mining activities to proceed this fall. The preferred rerouting alternative is approximately 15.1 miles in length, requiring construction of approximately 5.9 miles of new pipeline. Construction would require approximately 40 days and could be completed this year. Estimated construction and reclamation costs amount to $2.95 million, and annual maintenance costs are estimated at $26,820 to $28,220. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Relocating the pipeline would avoid potential damage and costly repairs that could be caused by coal mining activities. The safe operation and maintenance of the pipeline would ensure gas service to 70,000 residential and commercial consumers in the region, including Utah Valley south to St. George. The new pipeline route would have little effect on current coal-mining operations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 2.6 million tons of recoverable coal ($5.2 to $5.8 million in federal royalties) would underlie the segments proposed for new pipeline construction. Short-term moderate visual impacts would occur during construction along Highway 264, a proposed National Scenic Byway. A long-term moderate visual impact would occur where trees would be removed on the steep-sloped wall of Burnout Canyon, which is visible to travelers heading south on Highway 264. Approximately 3.3 miles of pipeline would traverse riparian wetlands. Some 110 acres of rangeland would be impacted, resulting in a loss of 13 animal unit months of forage, and 424,000 board feet of timber would be displaced. Some stream fishery impacts would be expected, and some cultural resources would probably be impacted. LEGAL MANDATES: National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

T1  - CENTENNIAL MOUNTAINS WILDERNESS STUDY, BEAVERHEAD COUNTY, MONTANA AND CLARK AND FREMONT COUNTIES, IDAHO.
AN  - 36405560; 2637
AB  - PURPOSE: Designation of 28,688 acres of the 92,815-acre Centennial Mountains Wilderness Study Area as wilderness is proposed, including the lands once designated as the Centennial Mountain Primitive Area (CMPA) managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), 4,474 acres of the Mt. Jefferson Roadless Area presently managed by the Beaverhead National Forest, and two sections totaling 1,160 acres presently managed by the Montana Department of State Lands. It is also recommended that this area be included in the National Wilderness Preservation System. The Centennial Mountains lie on the Idaho-Montana border, 75 miles north of Idaho Falls, Idaho. The study area covers 92,815 acres in Clark and Fremont counties in Idaho and Beaverhead County in Montana. The CMPA provides the spectacular scenery and watershed for the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. The study area also includes 16,650 acres that are managed by the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service as a sheep experiment station and a portion of the Continental Divide Trail. It is a popular area for snowmobiling, big game hunting, and fishing. Phosphate deposits occur within the study area boundary, and there is low to moderate geologic favorability for oil and gas. Forty-eight percent of the study area has unstable soils. Disturbance of these soils north of the Divide has been linked to sedimentation into the Red Rock Lakes and associated fishery streams. Ranchers have grazed sheep and cattle in the study area for 100 years, and the area also supports elk, mule deer, moose, and black bear. It contains habitat for threatened and endangered species such as the grizzly bear, peregrine falcons, wolves, and bald eagles. Timber consists mainly of Douglas fir, with some alpine fir and spruce. Some of the forests are highly productive. The study area lies in a remote, rural area where the population density is very low. The major occupations in the surrounding area are ranching, logging, mining, and working in recreation-related businesses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values would remain undisturbed on 31 percent of the study area in Montana and 45 percent in Idaho. Vehicle access would be allowed in the northwest portion in the summer and fall. Livestock grazing south of the Continental Divide might increase by 17 percent over the long term. Approximately 10,200 acres of elk habitat would remain undisturbed, while 3,000 acres would be available for logging. Conflicts between development activity and grizzly bears would remain low in Montana, as well as in those portions of Idaho not recommended for wilderness. The preferred alternative would sustain $515,972 of annual income to the local economy from all economic activities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Erosion and slumping might increase on 48 percent of the unstable soils due to development activities. Fifteen percent of the drainage inside the study area that feeds both on-site and off-site wetlands below Red Rock Lakes might be developed, which would affect trumpeter swan and fisheries habitats in Montana. Oil and gas activity on 6,507 acres of existing leases would be restricted in the short term and foregone on 28,688 acres in the long term. Approximately 77 percent of the annual timber harvest would be foregone over the long term. Seventeen potential jobs in the timber industry would not be realized. An additional sum of $402,861 of annual income to the local economy from economic activities would also not be realized. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

T1  - COLORADO OIL AND GAS LEASING AND DEVELOPMENT.
AN  - 36404866; 2611
AB  - PURPOSE: Development of oil and gas leases in the Glenwood Springs, Kremmling, and Little Snake resource areas and the Northeast and San Juan/San Miguel planning areas in Colorado is proposed. These areas contain a total of 4.9 million acres of federal mineral estate that could be leased for oil and gas production. The study area includes all public lands and mineral estate within the Glenwood Springs Resource Area, Kremmling Resource Area, Little Snake Resource Area, Northeast Resource Area and a portion of the Royal Gorge Resource Area (referred to as the Northeast Planning Area), and San Juan Resource Area and a portion of the Uncompahgre Basin Resource Area (referred to as the San Juan/San Miguel Planning Area). The study area encompasses more than 3.2 million acres of federally administered surface lands and more than 4.9 million acres of federal oil and gas mineral estate. The proposed plan would categorize lands for leasing as follows: (1) 2.2 million acres open to development subject to standard terms and conditions, (2) 2.4 million acres open to development subject to seasonal and/or other minor constraints, (3) 1.7 million acres open to development subject to no surface occupancy or major constraints, and (4) 250,800 acres closed to lease development. Both nondiscretionary closures (areas closed by law or regulation) and discretionary closures (areas closed by decision of the responsible federal official) are described in this document. The areas that would be closed to leasing are typically wilderness study areas (WSAs), town sites, military facilities, reservoirs, and the like. Major issues addressed include protection of WSAs, areas of critical environmental concern, cultural sites, major highway viewsheds, and sensitive areas. The resource management plans for the affected lands would be amended, and the lands would be leased for oil and gas production as described above. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Oil and gas removed from the lease areas would contribute to the energy reserves of the nation, reducing U.S. dependence on foreign sources of these resources. Development activities would increase regional employment rolls and generally improve the socioeconomic status of the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Vegetation losses would be expected from preliminary seismic operations, construction of access roads, and well-site development. Seismic operations could also disrupt normal aquifer activity. Some cattle and wildlife disruptions would be expected. Exploration and field development activities would disturb soils and geologic formations. Local aquatic habitat would be affected by increased levels of sedimentation. Some slight disturbance to recreationists would occur, and some stress would be placed on local transportation facilities. 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 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.).

T1  - FENCE LAKE PROJECT FEDERAL COAL LEASE, CATRON AND CIBOLA COUNTIES, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36403810; 2613
AB  - PURPOSE: An application for the issuance of a federal coal lease for mining and related activities on 6,840 to 8,980 acres near Fence Lake in Catron and Cibola counties, New Mexico has been submitted by the Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District (SRP). Two approval alternatives are under consideration. Alternative 1, the applicant's proposal, would involve leasing 6,840 acres of federal coal. Alternative 2 would allow for leasing up to 8,780 acres, based on preliminary estimates of coal areas that could be added to the lease to provide for maximum economic recovery of the coal resource and data that show additional coal reserves contiguous to the proposed lease area boundaries. Under the preliminary mining plan, SRP would mine a total of approximately 52 million tons of coal in the project area. Approximately 25 million tons would be federal coal, while the remaining 27 million tons would be state-leased and privately owned coal. The total mine life would be 47 years, including 2 years for premining development and construction, 35 years for mining, and a minimum of 10 years for reclamation and final bond release. Coal would be transported by road or railroad a distance of 43 miles west of the lease site to be used at SRP's existing Coronado Generation Station. Under Alternative 1, the 6,480 acres of federal lease lands would be combined with 11,100 acres of state leases and private land, for a total of 17,940 acres. Approximately 80 to 150 acres would be mined each mining year. Alternative 2 would include all state and private holdings indicated for Alternative 1, as well as an additional 8,980 acres of federal leases, for a total mine plan area of 21,150 acres. Approximately 200 acres would be mined each year. Implementation of Alternative 2 would require incorporation of development conditions to protect existing highly sensitive biological and cultural resources, including eagle nests and the New Cox Ranch Pueblo; the latter is a primary habitat archaeological site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A total of 52 million tons of coal would be produced under Alternative 1, and up to 58 million tons under Alternative 2. 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: Under Alternative 1, 7,830 acres would be disturbed by mining, support facilities, and transportation rights-of-way. Actions taken under Alternative 2 would result in the disturbance of 10,130 acres. Following reclamation, the affected area would be altered topographically and geologically. All other impacts, which would include air quality degradation, visual impacts, damage to grassland vegetative communities, and grazing resource losses, would be minor or negligible. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).

T1  - LANDER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, LANDER, WYOMING: WILDERNESS PLAN.
AN  - 36403853; 2584
AB  - PURPOSE: Six wilderness study areas (WSAs) in the Lander Resource Management Area of Wyoming are analyzed for possible wilderness designation. The WSAs under consideration include the 6,316-acre Lankin Dome WSA, 030-120; 12,749-acre Split Rock WSA, 030-122; 7,041-acre Savage Peak WSA, 030-123a; 6,429-acre Miller Springs WSA, 030-123b; 6,858-acre Copper Mountain WSA, 030-111; and 9,056-acre Sweetwater Canyon WSA, 030-010. The WSAs being studied are in Freemont and Natrona counties. The Lankin Dome, Split Rock, Miller Springs, and Savage Peak WSAs are all approximately 60 miles west-southwest of Lander. The Sweetwater Canyon WSA lies approximately 40 miles south-southwest of Lander, and the Copper Mountain WSA lies approximately 50 miles northeast of Lander. The topographic and natural features of the areas are diverse, ranging from mountains of granite that are nearly barren of vegetation to sagebrush-grassland prairies, to juniper woodlands, to a deep and rugged canyon. Elevations range from a low of approximately 6,000 feet on the Sweetwater River near Devil's Gate to more than 8,000 feet on the summit of McIntosh Peak. Issues analyzed during the study process include impacts on wilderness values and impacts on the development of energy and mineral resources. If the Sweetwater Rocks WSA complex (Lankin Dome, Split Rock, Miller Springs, and Savage Peaks WSAs) is designated wilderness, the issue of impacts on local ranching operations was analyzed. If Sweetwater Canyon and Copper Mountain are designated wilderness, the issue of impacts on recreation and off-road vehicle use was analyzed. With the exception of 5,538 acres within the Sweetwater Canyon WSA, all WSA lands under consideration would be recommended as nonsuitable for wilderness designation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values would be retained on the 3,518-acre portion of the Sweetwater Canyon WSA designated as wilderness; this portion includes the canyon itself. Except for annual mineral assessments on existing mining claims, no disruptive activities would be anticipated on any but the Copper Mountain WSA. Oil and gas developments on the Copper Mountain WSA would contribute to local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Future opportunities to develop mineral resources on the portion of the Sweetwater Canyon WSA designated as wilderness would be foregone. Over the long term, all wilderness values on WSAs and portions thereof that are not designated as wilderness would be subject to degradation and loss. Oil and gas developments on the Copper Mountain WSA, consisting of four production wells to be developed along the southern edge of the WSA, would result in the loss of values associated with naturalness and solitude on 840 acres. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements (EISs) on the Lander Resource Management Plan, and the draft and final supplements to the final EIS on the Whiskey Mountain and Dubois Badlands, see 85-0513D, Volume 9, Number 11; 86-0469F, Volume 10, Number 11; 88-0375D, Volume 12, Number 11-12; and 90-0020F, Volume 14, Number 1, respectively.

T1  - BLACKLEAF FIELD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, TETON COUNTY, MONTANA.
AN  - 36391811; 2551
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a management plan in association with oil and gas development on 58,503 surface acres and 40,327 federal subsurface acres in Teton County, northwestern Montana is proposed. The study area contains a mix of private land and lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management, the Forest Service, and the state of Montana. The area lies approximately 25 miles northwest of Choteau and 70 miles south-southeast of Glacier National Park. A portion of the area lies immediately east of the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area. The western portion of the area is characterized by steep rock cliffs and stream canyons; the eastern portion, by foothills and plains. The preferred alternative would allow a level of oil and gas production while protecting resources within the study area. A total of 18 wells would be allowed, including two existing (producing) wells, two shut-in wells brought on line, one injection well, seven step-out wells, and six exploration wells. Production facilities would be located off-site at a central facility on private surface over private minerals. Wellheads would be remotely monitored from this facility. Approximately 63 miles of road would be in use, of which 20.65 miles would be closed to the public; however, only 12.25 miles of new road construction would be necessary. Approximately 40 miles of pipeline would be required to transport gas condensate to the central production facility; 23.9 miles would not be adjacent to the access road and 12.65 miles would be adjacent to the access route. There are 3.25 miles of pipeline currently in place. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of oil and gas resources within the area would improve the nation's position in relation to foreign suppliers of these resources for U.S. domestic use. Local and regional economies would also benefit. New drilling would provide additional information about the subsurface geology of the study area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Location of production facilities on-site would increase the level of noise and air pollutant emissions, although state and federal standards would be met. A small chance of a hydrogen sulfide breakout would be present. Development activities and increases in other human activities within the area would result in impacts to cultural resources. Road, drill pad, and pipeline construction would disturb the context in which fossils may be found. Approximately 117,000 acres of important wildlife habitat, including forest and other forms of vegetation, would be degraded. A total of 92 habitat features would be affected negatively. Livestock would be impacted as well. The visual quality of the area would be degraded substantially. Thirteen of the 25 federal leases would not be developed. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - SR 509, EAST-WEST CORRIDOR, I-705 TO EAST 11TH STREET AND MARINE VIEW DRIVE, CITY OF TACOMA, PIERCE COUNTY, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 36391755; 2590
AB  - PURPOSE: Improvement or rerouting of State Route (SR) 509 and connecting arterials in the Port of Tacoma industrial area, from Interstate 705 (I-705) to Marine View Drive, in Pierce County, Washington is proposed. Two action alternatives and a no action alternative are under consideration. Alternative 1 is the no action alternative. Alternative 2 would maintain East 11th Street from Marine View Drive to Pacific Avenue as the east-west SR 509 corridor. The Blair Bridge would be replaced with a new four-lane lift bridge in 1994, after the widening of Marine View Drive to three lanes from East 11th Street to Taylor Way to accommodate detour traffic. By the year 2000, the East 11th Street viaduct would be extended west of Milwaukee Way and east of Thorne Road, and the Hylebos Bridge would be replaced with a new four-lane bascule bridge. Alternative 3 would provide a new east-west corridor around the port waterways by way of Marine View Drive from East 11th Street to Taylor Way, continuing along East-West Road and extending west to I-705 at its 21st Street interchange. This corridor would become SR 509. By 1995, a four-lane freeway viaduct would be built from I-705 to Milwaukee Way. East-West Road would be expanded and improved to form a two-lane westbound surface parkway from Taylor Way to Milwaukee Way, and a parallel two-lane eastbound parkway would be constructed approximately 250 feet to the south. Marine View Drive would be expanded to five lanes from Taylor Way to the future Norpoint Way Connector, and three lanes from the future Norpoint Way Connector to East 11th Street. In conjunction with these improvements, the Blair Bridge would be permanently removed. By the year 2000, a four-lane freeway would be constructed from Milwaukee Way to Taylor Way between the two new surface parkways, with grade separations at all cross streets, and a four-lane Norpoint Way Connector would be constructed from a point on Marine View Drive 3,900 feet south of the existing Norpoint Way intersection to a point on Norpoint Way 4,000 feet northeast of the intersection. Estimated costs of alternatives 2 and 3 are $95.3 million and $165.4 million, respectively; both estimates are in 1989 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Proposed highway improvements would accommodate increasing development and traffic in the industrial area, reduce bridge and rail delays along East 11th Street, and allow access to the Blair Waterway, which is currently blocked due to design deficiencies associated with the Blair Bridge. Depending on the alternative chosen, construction activities would create 1,000 to 2,000 jobs. Port-related development assisted by the project would create 11,000 direct and 20,000 indirect jobs under Alternative 2 and 17,000 direct and 31,000 indirect jobs under Alternative 3. In general, either alternative would accelerate port development, but Alternative 3 would do so more than Alternative 2. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Alternative 2 would displace 0.4 acre of wetland. Alternative 3 would displace or disturb 2.6 acres of wetland and could require rights-of-way acquisition affecting six residences and four businesses. Either alternative could significantly increase the ambient levels of inhalable airborne particulate matter. Either alternative would result in slight exceedances of federal noise standards. Alternative 2 would cause serious delays in emergency response times during construction, while Alternative 3 would result in less serious delays. Either alternative could result in the failure of 11 businesses along East 11th Street that depend on through traffic. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - VALBOIS, A YEAR-ROUND DESTINATION RESORT VILLAGE, VALLEY COUNTY, IDAHO (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JUNE 1989).
AN  - 36404077; 2571
AB  - PURPOSE: Issuance of a special use permit to Dennis Lee Taggart of Phoenix, Arizona for the development of a year-round destination recreational resort at Cascade Lake within the Boise National Forest, Valley County, Idaho is proposed. The site lies on the west side of the Cascade Reservoir near the town of Cascade. The mountain range is known as West Mountain and the major drainage is Poison Creek. More specifically, the site location is Township 15 North, Range 2 East, Sections 1, 11, 12, 13, and 14, and in Township 15 North, Range 3 East, Sections 5, 6, 17, and 18. This draft supplement to the draft environmental impact statement of June 1989 provides supplemental information on water quality, air quality, transportation, market analysis, economic analysis, fiscal and social effects on Valley County, and wetlands. The recreational resort would occupy 2,800 acres of National Forest System lands and 120 acres of lands administered by the Bureau of Reclamation. The site would also include 578 acres of development on private lands. The resort would include alpine skiing facilities consisting of seven lift lines with associated ski runs, one gondola tram, two midslope lodges, and a resort lodge at Poison Lake. Water-oriented recreation and lakeside camping facilities would be constructed on lands administered by the Bureau of Reclamation. This latter development would consist of a hotel/restaurant, a 250-slip marina, a tackle shop, and a recreational vehicle park designed to facilitate swimming, boating, fishing, water skiing, and wind surfing. Facilities for providing fuel and services to public boaters and recreational vehicles would be provided. Development on private lands would consist mainly of facilities and infrastructure for dwelling units, both private and commercial. Restaurants, retail shops, a general store, a chapel, a ski lodge, and a maintenance shop and service center would also be part of the proposed development. Facilities for tennis, swimming, equestrian activities, golf, nordic skiing, and ice skating would be developed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing for regional winter and summer recreational needs, the development would boost the local economy and provide additional employment in the area. Permit activities would adhere to the 1975 forest management plan for the Boise National Forest. If the project should result in the development of a community sewage treatment facility, water quality within Cascade Reservoir and receiving waters could be improved. Revenue generated by the resort via taxation and off-resort sources for Valley County would amount to $2.9 million per year. Land values in the vicinity of the development would increase significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the marina would require removal of dredge material between the high- and low-water levels. Operation of the site would generate significant levels of wastewater effluent as well as solid waste. Visitation would increase traffic levels on Highway 55, Valley County Road from Donnelly to Tamarack Falls, and the West Mountain Road from Tamarack Falls south to Cascade. School, hospital, and police services would be stressed by the additional developments. Big game habitat, including habitat for black bear, elk, and deer, would decline. Waterfowl and shorebirds would be impacted by activities associated with the marina. Land uses would affect blue grouse breeding and rearing and five osprey nests along the western edge of the private lands. A bald eagle nest at the Poison Creek site would be abandoned due to human encroachment. A substantial annual timber harvest would be foregone. Some recreational land use conflicts would occur, and the visual aesthetics of the area would be degraded somewhat. LEGAL MANDATES: National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 89-0124D, Volume 13, Number 3.

T1  - PETITION EVALUATION FOR THE FLAT FORK AND MUD CREEK WATERSHEDS, MORGAN COUNTY, TENNESSEE.
AN  - 36391674; 2552
AB  - PURPOSE: On September 27, 1985, Donald E. Todd, Mary Ann McPeters, William E. Armes, and the Frozen Head State Park Association, Inc., jointly with the Tennessee Citizens for Wilderness Planning and the Sierra Club, filed a petition with the Office of Surface Mining (OSM) to designate certain lands within the Flat Fork and Mud Creek watersheds of Morgan County, Tennessee as unsuitable for surface coal mining. Evaluation of the petition was delayed nearly three years as a result of legal appeals. OSM determined the petition to be administratively complete on January 24, 1986. The 5,250-acre petition area is located in the eastern portion of Morgan County and encompasses 8.2 square miles in the Flat Fork and Mud Creek watersheds. The area consists of steep mountainous terrain with a single, relatively flat intermontane stream valley. Flat Fork and its tributaries constitute the main drainage of the petition area. The majority of the petition area is owned by the state of Tennessee and the Emory River Land Company. The mining scenario developed for the Flat Fork petition area consists of one 150-acre surface contour mine operating on the Walnut Mountain, Walnut Mountain Rider, and Pewee seams over a five-year period. The primary allegations of the petition are that the petition area must be designated as unsuitable for surface coal mining operations because reclamation would not be technologically and economically feasible; such operations would be incompatible with existing state and local land use plans or programs; such operations would result in significant damage to important historic, cultural, scientific, and aesthetic values and natural systems; mining could result in substantial loss or reduction of the water supply; and designation of the area as suitable for mining would have little effect on the total supply of coal but would have a substantial detrimental effect on the environment. In addition to taking no action on the petition, alternatives open to the Secretary of the Interior regarding the petition would include: (1) designation of the entire petition area as unsuitable for all surface coal mining operations; (2) not designating any of the petition area as unsuitable for surface mining; (3) designation of parts of the petition area as unsuitable for all or certain types of surface coal mining; and (4) designation of the entire petition area as unsuitable for surface mining while allowing underground mining. The preferred alternative would involve designation of all parts of the petition area as unsuitable for surface coal mining operations while allowing use of the existing haulage road through the petition area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Prohibition of surface mining in the area would protect its natural and cultural resources for present and future generations. Forestry uses, which occupy 73 percent of the area, and agricultural uses, which occupy 22 percent of the area, would be protected against long-term damage due to surface mining. Fragile lands both within and approaching the Frozen Head State Park and Natural Area would be protected, and aesthetic and recreational uses would be preserved. Underground mining could access and recover approximately 600,000 tons of coal. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Surface mining could reduce the ability of the petition area to accommodate current levels of forestry and agricultural uses. Should the petition be approved, approximately 1.9 million short tons of coal would be eliminated from the market. Prohibition of coal production would preclude an annual production of approximately 200,000 tons. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).

T1  - OUACHITA NATIONAL FOREST LAND AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, ARKANSAS AND OKLAHOMA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF NOVEMBER 1985).
AN  - 36406600; 2557
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed for the 1.6-million-acre Ouachita National Forest in Garland, Hot Spring, Howard, Logan, Montgomery, Perry, Pike, Polk, Saline, Scott, Sebastian, and Yell counties, Arkansas and LeFlore and McCurtain counties, Oklahoma. The plan presented in this final supplement to the final environmental impact statement of November 1985 would direct forest management over the next 6 to 10 years. The plan would provide two levels of direction, specifically, general forest-wide management and specific direction for each management area. Issues addressed by the plan include dispersed and developed recreational resources, wilderness establishment, threatened and endangered species, timber protection and effects on other forest resources, use of herbicides, minerals exploration and development, transportation facilities, and military use of the forest. The preferred management scheme would emphasize goods and services that yield a net public benefit with modifications to benefit local use and economies and environmental issues. A full range of Recreational Opportunity Spectrum classes would be provided. High-use recreational sites would be upgraded, with other facilities maintained at a high standard. These sites would serve as bases to support wilderness and other dispersed activities. Final harvest cycles for pine would range from 50 years on the Tiak to 70 to 100 years or more on the remainder of the forest. A full range of regeneration harvest methods would be used, with uneven-aged management being used generally to address visual and high recreational value areas. No hardwood would be available for timber production in the first period, based on economic and market conditions. Landownership adjustment would intensify acquisition of inholdings to add to the recreational and wildlife land base. The transportation system would be developed and managed to support a full spectrum of resource needs, with the increased use of intermittent service roads and road closures. The Little Missouri would be recommended for designation as a component of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Wildlife management would increase habitat capability for species requiring early seral stage conditions through the early periods of management, with a slight decline to stabilization in later periods. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative management scheme would produce significant levels of resource commodities. Opportunities for developed and dispersed recreation would be enhanced. Habitat for first- and third-order species would be provided, with early successional wildlife species favored slightly over third-order species. Timber harvest would support the local economy, while providing for regional needs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Timber harvesting, road construction, site preparation, and wildlife habitat improvement would alter the natural appearance of the forest. Herbicides would be ingested by birds and other animals. Wilderness areas would be closed to mineral entry. LEGAL MANDATES: National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - OIL AND GAS LEASING, PIKE AND SAN ISABEL NATIONAL FORESTS AND COMANCHE AND CIMARRON NATIONAL GRASSLANDS, COLORADO AND KANSAS.
AN  - 36402710; 2549
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a 15-year lease program for development of oil and gas resources within the Pike and San Isabel national forests and the Comanche and Cimarron national grasslands of Colorado and Kansas is proposed. The areas under consideration, which cover 2.75 million acres in southeastern Colorado and southwestern Kansas, are located in Alamosa, Baca, Chaffee, Clear Creek, Custer, Douglas, El Paso, Fremont, Huerfano, Jefferson, Lake, Las Animas, Otero, Park, Pueblo, Saguache, and Teller counties, Colorado, and Morton and Stevens counties, Kansas. In addition to the lands administered solely by the Federal Government within these areas, this document addresses split-estate lands, where the minerals are federally owned and the surface is owned or managed by parties other than the Forest Service, when such lands are within the boundaries of the forest. The preferred management scheme would involve continuation of the existing management direction on the subject lands, with minor modifications resulting from decreases in total available lands due to resource sensitivity to oil and gas leasing activities. This alternative would allow development of oil and gas resources on lands available for oil and gas leasing on the forests and grasslands, while providing protection for surface resources and the human environment through enforcement of Bureau of Land Management lease terms and supplemental stipulations. Approximately 2.2 million acres would be available for leasing. Some 38 wells would be developed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of oil and gas resources within the forests and grasslands would reduce the nation's dependence on foreign sources of these energy sources, while contributing to the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Lease development activities would disturb 1,464 acres of coniferous forest, 187 acres of deciduous forest, 320 acres of alpine vegetation, 277 acres of shrubland, 1,621 acres of mountain prairie grassland, 53 acres of meadows and willow parks, 10 acres of riparian wetlands, and 508 acres of rock, water, and other lands, for a total of 4,440 acres of forest and national grassland. Approximately 551,390 acres of critical winter range, 102,800 acres of critical wildlife birthing habitat, and 28,490 acres of riparian habitat could be affected by lease development activities. A total of 746 miles of stream fishery could also be affected. Other issues of concern include the effects of oil and gas development activities on soils, water quality, air quality, recreation, floodplains, and threatened and endangered animal and plant species. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Onshore Oil and Gas Leasing Reform Act of 1987 (P.L. 100-203) and National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

T1  - PICK-SLOAN MISSOURI BASIN PROGRAM: PRAIRIE BEND UNIT, GOSPER, DAWSON, BUFFALO, AND HALL COUNTIES, CENTRAL NEBRASKA.
AN  - 36391820; 2576
AB  - PURPOSE: Management of fish and wildlife habitat critical to endangered species and migratory birds, assisting in the conservation and recovery of these species, providing streamflow augmentation to the Platte River, stabilizing groundwater levels, maintaining historic private irrigation, enhancing water quality, providing other fish and wildlife habitat management, and providing increased opportunity for public outdoor recreation are proposed by the Prairie Bend Unit of the Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin Program. The Prairie Bend Unit is located in south-central Nebraska in Gosper, Dawson, Buffalo, and Hall counties. The project under consideration is designed to recharge and stabilize groundwater levels in Buffalo and Hall counties and to aid in the conservation and recovery of migratory bird and federally listed threatened and endangered species habitat in the Big Bend Reach of the Platte River. Project features provide for groundwater recharge by gravity diversion from the Platte River just east of Kearney, Nebraska and construction of a water supply canal to the proposed North Prairie storage reservoir. The reservoir would supply water to four small recharge reservoirs and 24 recharge ponds through the Cairo Canal. Approximately 54,400 acre-feet of water would be diverted annually to supply recharge. Fish and wildlife resource management components of the plan would include construction of the 252,000-acre-foot Plum Creek Reservoir to augment flows in the Platte River; acquisition of 14,000 acres of Platte River channel and floodplain; and recognition of instream flows as a beneficial use. The biological assessment associated with the management program addresses whooping crane designated critical habitat, whooping crane roosting habitat morphology, least tern and piping plover nesting habitat morphology, and least tern nonsummer forage fish habitat. These findings are based on the assumption that 400 cubic feet per second would be adequate to maintain viable forage fish populations during the winter and spring periods. It is further concluded that the project is not likely to adversely affect the bald eagle, the black-footed ferret, the peregrine falcon, and the Eskimo curlew, nor jeopardize the continued existence of the American burying beetle or the Western prairie fringed orchid. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The program would stabilize groundwater levels and conditions to prevent economic loss in the area. Groundwater levels in the area would rise an average of 16 feet, benefitting 61,300 acres of irrigated land. Nitrate concentrations in groundwater would decrease by 40 percent. At the same time, project features would provide for management of fish and wildlife habitat. Program features would provide significant restoration/recovery opportunities for important fish and wildlife resources. Augmentation of Platte River flows from Plum Creek Reservoir would improve habitat for threatened and endangered species and migratory birds in some years, largely during the summer (July and August) with some benefits in April and October. These habitat benefits would be magnified by the acquisition of 18 miles and 14,000 acres of riverine, wetland, and terrestrial habitat on and adjacent to the Platte River to be managed for the protection of endangered species and migratory birds. Management of the river wildlife areas would also increase populations of all game species except fox squirrels. Approximately 14,000 surface acres of fair to moderately good reservoir fishery habitat would be created. Fish- and wildlife-associated recreation would also increase with the proposed project. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dam placement would have an adverse effect on fish movement in the Platte River; these negative impacts would be mitigated by the development of a fish ladder at the diversion dam. Portions of Plum Creek and the associated terrestrial habitat would be inundated by the reservoir. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), and Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.).

T1  - VEGETATION TREATMENT ON BLM LANDS IN THIRTEEN WESTERN STATES.
AN  - 36405109; 2556
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a vegetation treatment program to manage a variety of species on public lands in 13 states in the western United States is proposed. The program would apply to lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management in the contiguous states of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. This environmental impact statement focuses on how each vegetation treatment method affects vegetation on a regional basis; how each method affects fish and wildlife and their habitats; how mechanical methods and prescribed burning affect soils; how natural resources are affected; and how herbicides and prescribed burning affect human health and safety. The preferred alternative would allow all methods of vegetation treatment, including manual, mechanical, biological, prescribed burning, and chemical. Manual methods would include cutting, pulling, scalping, and mulching. Mechanical methods would include chaining, tilling, mowing, cutting, roller chopping, bulldozing, grubbing, blading, and drilling. Biological methods would include grazing, insect use, and use of pathogens. Chemical herbicides would be applied by helicopter, fixed-wing aircraft, ground vehicle, and hand. Annual acreages for manual, mechanical, biological, prescribed burning, and chemical applications would amount to 14,070 acres, 58,115 acres, 60,175 acres, 97,765 acres, and 141,515 acres, respectively. Up to 372,000 acres would be treated each year. Approximately 64 percent of the acreage would be treated with chemicals or by prescribed burning. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Allowance of all treatment methods, based on site-specific analyses, would provide for the most flexible approach to vegetation management. Vegetation management practices would prevent the spread of nuisance and noxious species and allow for maintenance of transportation corridors and other rights-of-way and recreational and other public and special-use facilities. Plant species diversity would be ensured. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Prescribed burning would result in a short-term localized reduction of air quality, and aircraft application of herbicides would result in the generation of noise. Plant cover removal would result in short-term increases in erosion and sedimentation and short-term degradation of visual quality in certain areas. Use of amitrole as a herbicide could affect public health, and workers could be affected by a number of herbicides.

T1  - U.S. 101 BYPASS FROM 0.5 MI. SOUTH OF MAE CREEK BRIDGE #4-42, HUMBOLDT COUNTY, TO 0.5 MI. NORTH OF HUMBOLDT/DEL NORTE COUNTY LINE, REDWOOD NATIONAL PARK BYPASS PROJECT, INCLUDING GRAVEL EXTRACTION AND PROCESSING NEAR KLAMATH GLEN, DEL NORTE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF FEBRUARY 1984).
AN  - 36404934; 2586
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of 12 miles of four-lane highway for the U.S. Redwood National Park Bypass Project in Humboldt and Del Norte counties, California is proposed. The bypass would begin at a point 0.5 mile south of the Mae Creek bridge, follow the north side of Mae Creek drainage, and skirt the eastern edge of the state park to intersect with existing U.S. 101 approximately 0.5 mile north of the Humboldt /Del Norte county line. The initial 4.5 miles of road would climb approximately 1,400 feet at a sustained grade of 5 to 7 percent. From its high point on the east side of the state park, the road would begin a descent at a grade of 4 to 6 percent for approximately 1.5 miles, followed by a slight upgrade for approximately 1.0 mile. The downgrade on the final 4.6 miles would be approximately 6 percent. Large embankments and long cut areas would be required. This final supplement to the final environmental impact statement of February 1984 on the highway construction project evaluates alternative sources of gravel for the manufacture of aggregate needed to complete the third stage of the bypass project, which would begin in the spring of 1990 and involve placing the base and paving and installing a drainage system. Extraction and processing of approximately 500,000 cubic yards of gravel would be required to produce material for the subbase, base, and asphalt-treated base, and asphalt concrete needed to complete the bypass project. Gravel processing would include crushing, sorting, washing, and manufacturing of the final product. Available gravel source sites include the Blake Bar property located on the Klamath River just south of Klamath Glen; an active two-mile reach of Turwar Creek just north of Klamath Glen; and the Tracy property located adjacent to the downstream end of the Blake Bar property. Alternatives under consideration could involve the use of one or various combinations of these sites. The currently preferred alternative, identified for the first time in this final supplement to the final environmental impact statement, would involve the combined use of the Blake and Tracy Bar sites. A total of 350,000 cubic yards of material would be extracted from the two sites, with the remaining material taken from commercial sources. A one-percent slope toward the river would be retained to minimize trapping of fish, and a buffer strip would be retained along the Klamath River. The buffer strip would be breached each Fall to prevent stranding fish. This alternative was selected when it was discovered that extraction from Turwar Creek could exacerbate ongoing undermining of the Klamath Glen flood control levee. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The bypass would remove through traffic from the existing portion of U.S. 101 within the park and improve commercial and long-distance travel on the only north-south highway in the north coast region of the state. Congestion caused by slow-moving tourists passing along the segment of highway that traverses the park would be eliminated by separating through traffic from tourist traffic. Extraction would enlarge channel capacity, thereby reducing flood risk. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Required earthwork for cuts and fills would be extensive. A temporary decrease in air quality due to dust from extracting and processing operations is expected. Odors may result from asphalt processing. Some disturbance of wildlife habitat may occur.

T1  - LANDER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, LANDER, WYOMING: WHISKEY MOUNTAIN AND DUBOIS BADLANDS (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JULY 1986).
AN  - 36404841; 2490
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plans is proposed for the 487-acre Whiskey Mountain Wilderness Study Area (WSA) and the 4,520-acre Dubois Badlands WSA in the Lander Resource Area of west-central Wyoming. This statement supplements the final environmental impact statement of July 1986 on implementation of a land and resource management plan for the entire Lander Resource Area. The resource management area encompasses most of Fremont and portions of Natrona, Sweetwater, Carbon, and Hot Springs counties. The WSAs are located in northwest Wyoming near the town of Dubois. The Whiskey Mountain WSA lies approximately five miles south of Dubois on the northern slope of Whiskey Mountain in the Wind River Mountains; it borders the Fitzpatrick Wilderness Area. The Dubois Badlands WSA lies approximately two miles east of Dubois, just north of the Wind River. The preferred alternative would involve denial of wilderness status to both WSAs. Management provisions would address mineral resources, wildlife habitat, recreational uses, including off-road vehicle use, and grazing. The Whiskey Mountain WSA would continue to be closed to mineral leasing unless drainage of federal oil and gas reserves should occur. Management of wildlife habitat in the Whiskey Mountain WSA would emphasize bighorn sheep winter range and sport hunting of the species, as well as aesthetics, transplant stock, and educational and scientific values. Off-road vehicle use would be limited to roads and trails. Approximately 215 acres of land would remain under grazing lease arrangements. The Dubois Badlands WSA would be open to oil and gas leasing with no surface occupancy stipulation and would be open to locatable mineral entry. No mineral activity would be expected in the Dubois Badlands WSA due to the area's low potential for locatable minerals. The Dubois Badlands WSA would be closed to off-road vehicle use. A total of 746 animal unit months of forage would be allocated to livestock. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values in the WSAs would be maintained, at least in the short-run, due to the lack of anticipated disruptive management actions. Recreational and economic benefits provided by the WSAs would continue to enhance the local economy of Dubois. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values in both WSAs would be subject to long-term degradation due to recreational activities, livestock grazing, and mineral exploitation activities. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - DIAMOND FORK POWER SYSTEM, BONNEVILLE UNIT, CENTRAL UTAH PROJECT (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 1984).
AN  - 36399610; 2482
AB  - PURPOSE: Development of a power system, to be known as the Diamond Fork Power System, is proposed as a component of interrelated systems in the Central Utah Project's Bonneville Unit. The Diamond Fork System, in north-central Utah, would effect a transbasin diversion of water from the Uinta Basin of the Upper Colorado River Basin to the Bonneville Basin of the Great Basin. Most of the system facilities would lie within Utah County, but a small portion at the upper end of the project's structures would be in Wasatch County. The system would be constructed in the Diamond Fork and Sixth Water drainages in the Uinta National Forest of the Wasatch Mountain range. Sixth Water is a tributary of Diamond Fork, which is a tributary of the Spanish Fork River. The transbasin diversion would provide water for the Municipal and Industrial System of the Bonneville Unit and for supplemental irrigation service in the Spanish Fork area of south Utah County. Water would also be provided for the Irrigation and Drainage System of the Bonneville Unit. The transbasin diversion would descend from the enlarged Strawberry Reservoir in the Uinta Basin to the confluence of Diamond Fork and the Spanish Fork River in the Bonneville Basin through a system of tunnels, pipelines, and a powerplant. The system would facilitate an annual average transbasin diversion of 101,900 acre-feet of Bonneville Unit water and 61,500 acre-feet of Strawberry Valley Project water from the Uinta Basin to the Bonneville Basin. This supplement to the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) of October 1984 discusses the proposed reduction in the size of the power system design. Changes in market conditions make the plan submitted in the FEIS no longer practical. The recommended plan presented in this supplement would provide 56.5 megawatts (MW) of installed generating capacity compared to the 166.2-MW system described in the FEIS. Approximately 10.5 MW would be needed to meet the requirements of the Bonneville Unit, depending on the alternative selected. Facilities added to the recommended plan since the FEIS include the Sixth Water Aqueduct and Last Chance Powerplant. Facilities deleted since the FEIS include the Syar Powerplant, Corona Aqueduct, Sixth Water Powerplant and Dam, and Dyne Aqueduct and Powerplant. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of water and energy sources through the plan would fulfill the project objectives of supplying immediate and projected needs for the rapidly growing population along the Wasatch Front. Some project energy would be used to pump water for the Central Utah Project, while the remainder would be marketed for commercial use throughout the Colorado River Storage Project marketing area. In addition to providing water and power, the system would open up recreational and fishing opportunities in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project development would destroy 438 acres of vegetation permanently and 132 acres temporarily. Maximum stream flows in Sixth Water Creek and Diamond Fork between Last Chance Powerplant and Monks Hollow Reservoir would be moderately to significantly less than under the 1984 FEIS plan. Water temperature stratification within the Strawberry Reservoir would be altered. Habitat, including that of endangered species, would be displaced, and grazing capacity in the area would decline; the cost to grazing permittees would increase. LEGAL MANDATES: Colorado River Storage Project Act of 1956 (70 Stat. 105), Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED ROCK CREEK/MUDDY CREEK RESERVOIR, ROUTT AND GRAND COUNTIES, COLORADO.
AN  - 36408315; 2532
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of a water storage reservoir, located in Grand County in western Colorado, is proposed. During review of the draft environmental impact statement, two projects were considered, namely, the Rock Creek Reservoir in the Routt National Forest and Muddy Creek Reservoir in the Kremmling Resource Area. The Muddy Creek Reservoir has been chosen as the preferred project, although further studies of the Rock Creek site are recommended. The Muddy Creek project site would be located just west of Wolford Mountain (five miles north of Kremmling, Colorado). The Muddy Creek Dam would be a zoned earthfill dam, with a dam crest located 120 feet above the present streambed. The dam would contain approximately 997,200 cubic yards of fill; the majority of this material would be obtained from borrow areas immediately upstream and downstream of the damsite, resulting in a haul distance of less than one mile. Approximately 42,800 cubic yards of riprap material would have to be hauled 40 miles from a quarry to the east of the project site. An additional 76,700 cubic yards of materials for filters, drains, and concrete aggregate could be supplied by a firm in Kremmling. It would create a 60,000-acre-foot capacity reservoir, which would include 4,000 acre-feet of conservation storage and 6,000 acre-feet of sediment storage. Annual water yield would amount to 23,000 acre-feet. The reservoir would have a surface area of 1,447 acres and extend 5.5 miles up Muddy Creek. The dam would feature a multiple outlet. During construction, Muddy Creek would be diverted through a conduit located on the right side of the streambed. Relocation of a portion of U.S. Highway 40 and two electric transmission lines would be required. A campground and picnic area would be developed in association with the reservoir. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Muddy Creek Reservoir would primarily be a source of augmentation water. Reservoir operations would fulfill primary demands under the Metro Denver Lease, including provision of water for the Middle Park Water Conservancy District. Releases would be made in exchange for water stored in the Green Mountain Reservoir. Beneficial impacts would include increased recreational use of the reservoirs and associated campgrounds, reservoir fish habitat, and the economic benefits of the recreational use. Releases from the reservoir could also enhance the cold water trout fishery in the tailwater of the dam. Construction activities would result in significant increases in area employment rolls. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The dam and reservoir would displace 822 acres of farmlands. The potential for fogging in the vicinity of the project site would increase. Endangered fish species would be impacted. The area would undergo a long-term social change due to the reservoir and associated development, and would impact wetlands, a candidate federal rare plant, big game habitat (elk and deer), and visual resources. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Order 11593, Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

T1  - BRIDGER-TETON NATIONAL FOREST LAND AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, FREMONT, LINCOLN, PARK, SUBLETTE, TETON AND UINTA COUNTIES, WYOMING (ADOPTION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, FOREST SERVICE'S FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF NOVEMBER 1989).
AN  - 36402662; 2489
AB  - PURPOSE: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is adopting the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) on the Bridger-Teton Land and Resource Management Plan prepared by the Department of Agriculture, Forest Service in November 1989. Alternative F of the FEIS, BLM's proposed action, sufficiently addresses all concerns, including subsurface concerns, to allow BLM to make mineral leasing decisions for the Bridger-Teton National Forest. Leasable minerals will be managed by BLM in compliance with the plan, including applicable goals, objectives, prescriptions, standards, and guidelines. Prior to offering lands for oil and gas leasing, the Forest Service would help develop and review lease parcels for plan compliance. No oil and gas lease parcels would be offered over objections of the Forest Service. Other leasable minerals would be available for further consideration in compliance with the plan. The FEIS provides adequate reasonably forseeable development scenarios and identifies mineral potential and lease stipulations. BLM's decision to offer mineral resources for lease is contingent, in part, on Forest Service decisions that the National Forest System lands involved are suitable for lease and the conditions under which they are suitable for lease. One lease stipulation, applying to 796,100 acres, calls for no surface occupancy on steep slopes or unstable soils. The Bridger-Teton National Forest is located in Fremont, Lincoln, Park, Sublette, Teton, and Uinta counties, Wyoming. The area to be administered comprises 3.4 million acres, including 37,555 acres of the Targhee National Forest. The planning area is located in the northwestern corner of Wyoming. From north to south, the major physiographic features of the planning area are the Tunp Range, Commissary Ridge, Salt River Range, Snake River Range, Wyoming Range, Hoback Mountains, Wind River Mountains, Gros Ventre Mountains, Teton Mountains, Jackson Hole Basin, Washakie Mountains, Absaroke Mountains, and Yellowstone Plateau. The area contains the headwaters of the Snake-Columbia, Green-Colorado, Yellowstone-Missouri, and Bear river systems. The preferred alternative would emphasize a mix of market and nonmarket outputs affecting the forest's Zone of Influence (the area most affected by forest management activities). The mix of outputs would be based on site-specific trade-offs between competing interests. Objectives of the Management Plan include (1) the provision of timber volumes at costs that reflect current market values and as small- and large-product sales to meet local demand; (2) increasing the number of acres to be managed specifically for grizzly bear to reestablish 78,900 acres, and reestablishing historic elk migration routes; (3) the provision of suitable and adequate habitat to support the game and fish populations established by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department; (4) the retention, improvement, and addition of dispersed recreation opportunities; (5) minimizing new road construction and reducing the existing system of roads and motorized access trails to maintain or increase wildlife security; (6) the provision of vegetative species and age diversity, genetic quality, and forest appearance; (7) the application of performance standards or stipulations in mineral plans, permits, and leases for protection of other resource values; and (8) the prevention of human overcrowding in the wilderness areas to prevent losses of wilderness values. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing for economic development of all forest-related commodities, the preferred plan would protect natural resources and prevent undue human encroachment into pristine areas. Habitat for threatened and endangered species would be protected. Existing recreational opportunity patterns would be perpetuated. Approximately 10 million board feet of timber would be produced annually, and 1.9 million acres of land would be open to oil and gas leasing. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: More than 500,000 acres of forest determined to be tentatively suitable for timber harvest would be closed to harvesting activities to protect other resource values. During logging and timber thinning operations, the potential for fire would increase due to waste material in the form of nonmerchantable trees and slash left on the ground. Management activities such as timber sales and road construction would temporarily disrupt recreational uses by reducing or changing the type of recreational use that previously occurred in the affected areas. There may be a short-term decrease in available forage due to logging operation disturbances, and some sediment increases would occur. LEGAL MANDATES: Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (30 U.S.C. 18l et seq.), Mining and Minerals Policy Act of 1970 (30 U.S.C. 2la), and National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

T1  - WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NEVADA CONTIGUOUS LANDS, CLARK, LINCOLN, WHITE PINE, AND HUMBOLDT COUNTIES, NEVADA.
AN  - 36407585; 2503
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for 200,918 acres of public land within 14 wilderness study areas (WSAs) in Clark, Lincoln, White Pine, and Humboldt counties, Nevada is proposed. The WSAs under consideration, which lie in the Las Vegas, Ely, and Winnemucca districts, include the 19,150-acre Marble Canyon WSA, 34,680-acre Lime Canyon WSA, 21,296-acre Million Hills WSA, 11,835-acre Garrett Buttes WSA, 12,145-acre Quail Springs WSA, 12,290-acre El Dorado WSA, 14,994-acre Ireteba Peaks WSA, 3,466-acre Jumbo Springs WSA, 5,718-acre Nellis ABC WSA, 2,694-acre Evergreen ABC WSA, 12,316-acre Lahontan Cutthroat Trout Natural Area WSA, and Fish and Wildlife Numbers 1, 2, and 3 (11,090 acres, 17,242 acres, and 22,002 acres, respectively). The preferred alternative would involve designation of 8,300 acres within the Marble Canyon WSA and 13,895 acres within the Lime Canyon WSA as suitable for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. All other WSAs under consideration would be considered as unsuitable for inclusion in the national system and would be managed for multiple uses. Issues addressed in the development of land use plans would include wilderness values, motorized recreational uses, development of utilities and material sites, impacts on threatened and endangered species and other wildlife and plant life, military overflights, cultural resources, exploration and development of energy and nonenergy minerals, reintroduction of certain wildlife species, livestock development and maintenance, water resources, and private inholdings. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness and associated natural values within the two areas to be preserved would be protected against human encroachment and alteration. WSA land designated as unsuitable for wilderness designation would be open to effective, manipulative management techniques and multiple uses, including recreation, mining, livestock, and water resource developments. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: WSA land not included in the National Wilderness Preservation System would be subject to actions that would lead to degradation of wilderness values and the loss of primitiveness and solitude characteristics. Wilderness system lands would be closed to economic activities that could otherwise contribute to local economies. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - OREGON STATEWIDE WILDERNESS STUDY.
AN  - 36404570; 2506
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for 2.6 million acres of land in 85 wilderness study areas (WSAs) in eastern Oregon is proposed. The preferred alternative would recommend 1.13 million acres in 48 WSAs as suitable for wilderness designation and 1.53 million acres as nonsuitable for wilderness designation. Wilderness areas would be withdrawn from locations of new mining claims and the issuance of mineral leases upon designation. Livestock grazing, where previously established, would be allowed to continue, and new grazing facilities could be constructed to protect rangeland or wilderness resources. The wild horse herd would be maintained. Prescribed burning may be practiced, and fires would be controlled; in some cases, however, natural fires would be allowed to burn to return some wilderness ecosystems to a more natural state. Insect and disease outbreaks would be controlled if they threatened timber or other valuable resources outside a wilderness area or caused the loss of an endangered species within the wilderness area. Water resource facilities that existed before wilderness designation may be used and maintained. Motorized equipment and vehicles may be used for maintenance activities when no alternatives exist. Nonmotorized and noncommercial recreation would be permitted. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation would allow natural ecosystems and ecological processes to function with minimal human influence. Ecological, geological, and historical features would be preserved. Nonwilderness designation would allow for intrusive economic exploitation of areas so designated, contributing to the affected local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values would be impaired in areas not receiving wilderness designation and in some adjoining wilderness areas. Wilderness designation would preclude such commercial resource use as livestock grazing, timber harvesting, and mineral development. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) and a draft supplement to the DEIS, see 85-0258D, Volume 9, Number 6, and 87-0014D, Volume 11, Number 1, respectively.

T1  - PROPOSED NORTH COUNTY CLASS III LANDFILL, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36408267; 2531
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of a lined Class III sanitary landfill at each of three sites to allow for disposal of wastes generated in San Diego County, California are proposed. The sites would be at Aspen Road, Blue Canyon, and Gregory Canyon. A portion of the Blue Canyon site currently is publicly owned and is administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM); this federally owned land would be acquired by the county of San Diego via a public benefit land exchange whereby BLM would acquire lands within or adjacent to the Beauty Mountain Wilderness Study Area. A similar land exchange would be required for land within the Blue Canyon site currently owned by the public and administered by the Forest Service; this land lies within the Cleveland National Forest. The landfills would incorporate a composite liner consisting of a bentonite-clay layer combined with a synthetic geomembrane, as well as a leachate collection system, a covered leachate storage basin, and groundwater monitoring wells. The landfills would receive municipal solid waste from transfer stations located in the northern part of San Diego County. A household hazardous materials acceptance control plan would be implemented at the transfer stations in cooperation with the County Department of Health Services. Trash would be taken to the fill from the transfer stations in 25-ton covered transfer trucks. The Aspen Road and Gregory Canyon sites would be the first and second landfills opened in North County. Blue Canyon would be the final site to be permitted. Construction and operation would continue for at least 15 years at Aspen Road, 14 years at Gregory Canyon, and at least 21 years at Blue Canyon. The actual tonnage would depend on the effectiveness of recycling programs implemented by the county and the 18 cities to be served by the landfills. The proposed access alignment for Aspen Road would extend from Interstate 15 (I-15) to Mission Road, northerly on old 395 to Rainbow Glen Road, then on Rainbow Glen Road to a new access road that would avoid existing residential areas. To facilitate transportation from I-15 to the Gregory Canyon site, numerous roadway improvements would be made to State Route (SR) 76. In addition, a new access road would be constructed from SR 76 and the proposed base facilities adjacent to SR 76, across the San Luis Rey River, to Gregory Canyon landfill. Access to the Blue Canyon landfill would require improvement of approximately one mile of new access road from SR 79 to the landfill. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the landfills would ensure a safe, efficient means of disposing of solid waste generated within San Diego County. The land exchange would enhance wilderness and other natural resource values and improve the manageability of the Beauty Mountain area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Unstable boulders within the Gregory Canyon site would pose a safety risk. All three landfills would be incompatible with existing land uses, interfering with residential sites, water delivery services, the Cleveland National Forest, and electrical transmission lines. Transfer truck traffic would significantly affect SR 79. Truck traffic and construction and operation equipment at the sites would generate significant noise, but barriers would decrease noise levels off the sites to insignificant levels. Site development and use would generate offensive odors, fugitive dust, and vehicle emissions. Land to be displaced would include forest, sage scrub, and grassland, and effects of the landfill operations would damage habitat for threatened and endangered animal and plant species. Medicine Rock, a significant cultural resource site of importance to Native Americans, would be impacted by activities at the Gregory Canyon site, and the Aspen Road and Blue Canyon sites would affect Native American ethnobotanical resources. The landfills would intrude on the visual resources of the areas. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

T1  - EAST UNIT ACCESS ROAD AND US 12 RELOCATION, LAPORTE COUNTY, PORTER COUNTY, AND MICHIGAN CITY, INDIANA: PROJECT NO. ID-94-2(62) AND NPS-M-H829(2).
AN  - 36391305; 2513
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of the East Unit Access Road from Interstate 94 (I-94) on the south to US 12 on the north and relocation of US 12 between the Woodlawn Avenue/County Line Road intersection and the Sheridan Avenue intersection, all within LaPorte and Porter counties, in the vicinity of Michigan City, Indiana, are proposed. The 2.6-mile East Unit Access Road would begin on the south with a new intersection at I-94 and follow an alignment along or adjacent to the LaPorte /Porter county line west and southwest of Michigan City to US 12. The relocated section of US 12 would begin on the west at the US 12 /Woodlawn Avenue/County Line Road intersection and extend east 1.2 miles along Woodlawn Avenue and then north along the east side of the Northern Indiana Public Service Company's power transmission corridor to a project terminus near the present US 12/Sheridan Avenue intersection. The East Unit Access Road would be a four-lane, divided rural arterial highway within a 300-foot right-of-way providing partially controlled access. It would include an interchange at I-94, bridges spanning two railroads, and a hiking/biking trail, with a trailhead near Kieffer Road. The relocated section of US 12 would consist of a four-lane roadway within a minimum right-of-way of 100 feet and would feature curbs and gutters and a bridge over the Chicago, South Shore, and South Bend Railroad tracks. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Overall north-south roadway capacity between I-94 and the north end development/Lake Michigan lakefront in Michigan City would be increased, diverting local and nonlocal traffic from Franklin Street and preventing future congestion on that arterial roadway. The new roadways would serve the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore by connecting I-94 with the East Unit of the National Lakeshore. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would displace a maximum of 5 commercial units and 22 residential units, and some residences would be exposed to increased noise levels and visual intrusions resulting from roadway structures. Rights-of-way development would displace approximately 21 acres of wetlands, and construction disturbances would affect an additional 15.2 acres. One threatened plant species could be affected by construction. Approximately 109 acres of prime farmland would be affected by rights-of-way acquisition. Noise levels would exceed federal standards at numerous sites. Travel patterns on some local roads would be altered due to the possible closure of 8th Street at US 12 and the closure of Sheridan Avenue at US 12. Carbon monoxide increases for the East Unit Access Road and US 12 relocation would be 0.2 and 0.4 parts per million, respectively. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Federal Aid Highway Act of 1968 (23 U.S.C. 128(a)), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - SLEEPING GIANT AND SHEEP CREEK WILDERNESS STUDY, LEWIS AND CLARK COUNTY, MONTANA.
AN  - 36408203; 2504
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed for the 6,487-acre Sleeping Giant Wilderness Study Area (WSA) and the 3,927-acre Sheep Creek WSA in Lewis and Clark County, Montana. The WSAs are located near Holter Lake, 30 miles north of Helena and 60 miles southwest of Great Falls. The two WSAs are adjacent to one another and are separated by a power line and an associated maintenance road. The proposed management scheme would recommend designation of both WSAs as unsuitable for wilderness and continued management of the areas as a single Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC). Management of this administratively designated area would be consistent with the final Headwaters Resource Management Plan and the Sleeping Giant ACEC management plan. Guidance governing activities within the ACEC would be similar to wilderness in that the management objectives would be oriented toward protection and enhancement of natural resources. Issues receiving detailed evaluation for this study include wilderness values and impacts on mining decorative stone within the Sleeping Giant WSA and impacts on wilderness values within the Sheep Creek WSA. The 25-acre area of commercial decorative slate within the Sleeping Giant WSA would probably be excavated at a rate of approximately 25 tons per year. POSITIVE IMPACTS: With the exception of a small portion of the 25-acre area of commercial slate, wilderness values within the two areas would largely remain unchanged. The commercial viability of the small slate industry within the area would be supported. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Over a 20-year period, surface disturbance from decorative slate mining within the Sleeping Giant WSA would amount to approximately 0.1 acre. Nevertheless, nonwilderness designation of the areas could open them to future alteration and resulting degradation of natural resources.

T1  - WASTE ISOLATION PILOT PLANT, EDDY COUNTY, NEW MEXICO (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 1980).
AN  - 36404857; 2530
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan for a demonstration project for the safe disposal of radioactive transuranic wastes resulting from Department of Energy (DOE) activities related to national defense is proposed. This final supplement to the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) of October 1980 addresses the upshot of new geological and hydrological information leading to changes in the understanding of the hydrogeological characteristics of the proposed Los Medanos waste isolation pilot plant (WIPP) site located in Eddy County in southeastern New Mexico. In addition, there have been changes in the information and assumptions used to analyze the environmental impacts in the FEIS. These changes include (1) new geological and hydrogeological information pertinent to the WIPP site regarding long-term performance of the underground waste repository; (2) changes in the composition of the transuranic waste inventory; (3) consideration of the hazardous chemical constituents in transuranic wastes; (4) modification and refinement of the system for transportation of wastes to the WIPP; and (5) modification of a test phase. The proposed action would involve operation of the WIPP under a test phase program for approximately five years, during which certain tests and operational demonstrations would be conducted to reduce uncertainties associated with the prediction of natural processes that could affect the long-term performance of the underground waste repository. Results of these tests would be used to assess the ability of the WIPP to meet applicable federal standards for the long-term protection of the public and the environment. The operational demonstrations would be conducted to show the ability of the waste management system to certify, package, transport, and emplace transuranic waste in the WIPP safely and efficiently. On completion of the test phase, DOE would determine whether the WIPP could comply with federal standards for long-term disposal of transuranic wastes. If there were a determination of compliance with appropriate federal standards, the WIPP would enter into a permanent disposal phase of approximately 20 years. After completion of waste emplacement, the surface facilities would be decommissioned, and WIPP underground facilities would serve as a permanent radioactive waste repository. 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. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: 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. Construction would disturb wildlife and could result in the destruction of archaeological resources.

T1  - NELLIS AIR FORCE RANGE RESOURCE PLAN, CLARK, NYE, AND LINCOLN COUNTIES, NEVADA.
AN  - 36404748; 2505
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan to manage approximately 2.2 million acres within the Nellis Air Force Range in Clark, Nye, and Lincoln counties in southern Nevada is proposed. The land has been withdrawn from military use and placed under the administration of the Bureau of Land Management. Issues identified as bases for formulation of alternative plans are associated with vegetation, wildlife habitat, wild horse and burro management, and cultural resources management. The preferred management regime would emphasize improvement of vegetative conditions on rangelands and wildlife habitat, with particular attention to wild horse populations. No new land uses would be proposed or authorized unless they contribute to improved range conditions. Existing use levels would be adjusted to provide for improved conditions. Specific management actions would include the development of activity plans for riparian areas; possible construction and maintenance of up to 50 miles of fence to exclude wild horses and livestock from management areas; allocation of all forage outside of the Nevada Wild Horse Range (NWHR) and the Bald Mountain grazing allotment to wildlife; allocation of 370 animal unit months of forage and all forage in the NWHR not allocated to wild horses to wildlife; provision of permanent water sources for wildlife on the NWHR and the Bald Mountain grazing allotment; construction and maintenance of up to 30 miles of fence to prevent livestock from drifting off the Bald Mountain allotment; relocation of animals to achieve appropriate management levels on the NWHR; improvement of water sources on the NWHR; removal of all burros from the planning area; construction of up to 125 miles of fence on the NWHR and up to 75 additional miles of fence to prevent the movement of wild horses and burros into the management areas; designation of the Timber Mountain Caldera National Natural Landmark as a visual resource management (VRM) interim Class II area and the remainder of the planning area as a VRM interim Class IV area; and designation of the portion of the Timber Mountain Caldera National Natural Landmark located within the planning area as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Existing wildlife and vegetative species diversities would be maintained, and riparian habitat would be improved and preserved. Wildlife habitat would be managed to ensure maximum benefit to wildlife, and threatened and endangered species would be protected. The population of wild, free-roaming horses would be maintained and prevented from straying off the NWHR. The visual integrity of the entire planning area and the natural aspect of the Timber Mountain Caldera would be preserved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Fence construction, if necessary, would result in unavoidable adverse impacts on up to 509 acres of vegetation and wildlife habitat. The wild horse population on the planning area would decrease by 4,400. Ecological conditions would be degraded to an early seral stage within a 0.25-mile radius of all water sources used by wild horses and livestock. LEGAL MANDATES: Military Lands Withdrawal Act of 1986, as amended (P.L. 99-606, P.L. 100-338). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 89-0126D, Volume 13, Number 3.

T1  - NEW HALLS CROSSING AIRPORT, SAN JUAN COUNTY, UTAH.
AN  - 36408393; 2472
AB  - PURPOSE: Replacement of the Halls Crossing Airport is proposed to serve the existing and future general aviation users visiting the Halls Crossing and Bullfrog marinas on Lake Powell in San Juan County, Utah. The replacement facility would be located eight miles east of the Halls Crossing Marina on land currently administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM); hence, the project would require the transfer of approximately 300 to 500 acres of land from BLM to San Juan County. The airport would include a 60-foot-wide, 5,700-foot-long runway; a 120-foot-wide, 6,180-foot-long graded safety area; a 250-foot-wide, 6,100-foot-long primary surface above and adjacent to the runway; a 120-foot-wide, 750-foot-long apron; and an access road. The facility would be designed to General Utility Stage I standards so as to accommodate existing and forecast users; such a facility is designed to serve all small aircraft (12,500 pounds or less) in design group I (wingspans of less than 49 feet). POSITIVE IMPACTS: Facility replacement would fulfill a planning goal that has been under consideration in the area for more than 20 years. The new airport would be much safer and more efficient than the currently existing dirt airstrip. National Park Service and BLM administration of the surrounding lands would be eased significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Land would be taken from the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, and operation of the airport would result in overflights affecting the recreational value of the 1.3-million-acre area, as well as the 1.8-million-acre San Juan Resource Area. Aircraft-related noise would constitute the major impact of overflights. Airport lighting may be visible to some recreationists under cloudy conditions. Cultural resources consisting of scattered lithic fragments could be removed, but this would not result in a significant adverse impact as the resources would be recovered. LEGAL MANDATES: Airport and Airway Improvements Act of 1982, as amended (P.L. 97-248), and Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.).

T1  - WASHINGTON WATER POWER/B.C. HYDRO TRANSMISSION INTERCONNECTION PROJECT, PEND OREILLE, SPOKANE, STEVENS, AND LINCOLN COUNTIES, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 36399843; 2480
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of a 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission line from a proposed substation southwest 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 environmental impact statement addresses the construction, operation, maintenance, and abandonment of the transmission facilities. The double-circuit 230-kV line would extend 127.9 miles from WWP's Marshall Substation to the international boundary, traversing Stevens, Pend Oreille, and Spokane counties. The line would parallel existing transmission lines over 115 miles of its total length. Three alignment variations, known as the Boundary Dam, Chattaroy, and Marshall variations, could be implemented for the final alignment. Detailed route descriptions are provided. The as yet unconstructed Marshall Substation has been in WWP's long-range facility construction plan since 1974, to maintain transmission system reliability and serve future area load growth. Marshall would provide both 230-kV and 115-kV transmission support to the Spokane area and serve as an interconnect with WWP's southern area transmission system. The B.C. Hydro portion of the transmission line would terminate at the existing Selkirk Substation, which is a 500/230-kV facility connected to the main B.C. Hydro transmission system; the substation is located approximately 4.1 miles due north of the international boundary and 9.5 miles southeast of Trail, British Columbia. B.C. Hydro would connect with the proposed WWP transmission facility at the international boundary by constructing approximately 5.3 miles of transmission line in Canada. 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. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of the transmission corridor from the Marshall Substation to the international boundary would intrude into sensitive plant species locations. A priority deer winter area would be disturbed. Displacement of 10 and, if the Marshall Variation is chosen, 12 residences would be required. Implementation of the Chattaroy Variation would result in impacts to wildlife, recreation, land use, and visual resources associated with the Little Spokane River Natural Area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - THOUSAND SPRINGS POWER PLANT, ELKO COUNTY, NORTHEASTERN NEVADA.
AN  - 36391272; 2481
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land exchange agreement between the Thousand Springs Generating Company and Bureau of Land Management is proposed to allow for the construction and operation of an eight-unit, 2,000-megawatt (MW), coal-fired, steam-electric power plant in northeastern Nevada. The land exchange would involve approximately 15,960 acres of public land and 13,410 acres of private land on a surface-estate-only basis. The generating units would be designed for baseload duty, but would also have cycling capability. Each 250-MW generating unit would be fueled by coal delivered via train from mines at Kemmerer, Wyoming and Scofield, Utah. Each unit would require one 55-car unit train to deliver fuel at five-day intervals from the Scofield mine and at four-day intervals from the Kemmerer mine. A rail spur would connect the station site to the Southern Pacific Railroad. Four to five 55-car unit trains would deliver coal to the plant site each day when all eight units are operating. Plant operation would also require approximately 32,000 acre-feet per year of water to be delivered; this water would be used primarily for cooling plant equipment. Plant water supply would be groundwater from the project's proposed wellfields, to be developed in Toano Draw and the valley of Thousand Springs Creek. It would be likely that lime spray scrubber systems, low-nitrogen oxide burners, and baghouses would be used to control sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulates, respectively; in any event, the best available control technology would be used to reduce emissions. Transmission lines would also be included in the general project design. Market demand would determine the timing for construction of each unit, although two-year intervals are expected. Each unit would be designed to operate for 35 years, with operation of the first unit beginning in 1994. Operation of the last unit would cease in 2043. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The land exchange would allow for consolidation of a contiguous block of private land on which the power plant complex could be constructed and operated. The generating company would use the station to produce competitively priced electrical energy to be sold to utilities in Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. The construction work force would peak at 800 workers in 1993. On completion, the plant would employ 560 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 1,780 acres of land would be disturbed at the power plant site and for rights-of-way acquisition for the access road, railroad spur, and water pipeline. Power plant emissions would reduce local air quality, but federal standards would not be violated. Facility construction would displace soil and vegetation from the site and utility and transportation corridors, thereby reducing wildlife and livestock forage and habitat. Groundwater withdrawals and human encroachment could result in impacts to springs, ponds, and wetlands located near the wellfields. During extended dry periods, Dake Reservoir could be emptied completely, significantly affecting the associated fishery. Archaeological sites could be disturbed or destroyed. Generating facilities would intrude visually on an otherwise natural landscape. Approximately 15,000 acre-feet per year of irrigation water would eventually be phased out. The influx of workers and their families would place some stress on the city of Wells and regional recreation resources.

AB  - PURPOSE: Issuance of a permit for the development of an open-pit heap leach gold mine, to be known as the Castle Mountain Project, in the Hart Mining District of Lanfair Valley in northeastern San Bernardino County, California is proposed. Lanfair Valley is located in the East Mojave National Scenic Area of the California Desert Conservation Area. The project site includes 2,735 acres of federal and patented lands. The mining operation would involve the use of conventional open-pit mining and heap leach processing to recover gold in a disseminated ore body. Based on current knowledge of the deposits, the proposed project would consist of two primary mine pits, known as Oro Belle and Lesley Ann/Jumbo. Crushing and grinding, conveyance, water supply, and storage facilities typical of this type of mining project would be developed and operated throughout the project life. Ore would be processed at a rate of approximately 3.0 million tons per year for approximately 10 years. At project completion, some 890 acres of the site would be disturbed. Issues identified through the public scoping process include geology, water, vegetation, wildlife, air quality, health and safety, visual resources, cultural resources, land use, socioeconomics, and infrastructure. This draft supplement to the draft environmental impact statement addresses three design changes in the proposed action: (1) relocating the alignment of a segment of the Searchlight Access Route to avoid traffic through desert tortoise habitat; (2) the possible use of smaller, covered storage ponds or steel storage tanks for storage of process solutions; and (3) using propane instead of diesel fuel to power all onsite generators and baghouses rather than agglomerative dust suppression systems. 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 use approximately 450 gallons of water per minute (725 acre-feet per year); water would be withdrawn from the Lanfair Valley aquifer. To prevent lowering of the aquifer, a portion of the available water in the aquifer would not be available for uses associated with other activities until aquifer recovery through natural recharge, approximately 30 years following project completion. Project activities would affect 910 acres of land currently covered by elements of Joshua tree woodland/creosote bush scrub and blackbush scrub. Approximately 315 acres of desert grassland characterized by an unusual assemblage would be affected. Revegetation of the site would require 30 to 60 years. Wildlife habitat, including habitat for Bendire's thrasher and bighorn sheep, and forage for livestock would decline due to site disturbances. Use of explosives would generate noise in the vicinity of the project site. Power generation at the site would result in a localized reduction of air quality. Project facilities would mar the visual aspect of the valley, and land disturbances would result in some permanent changes in site aesthetics. LEGAL MANDATES: American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978 (P.L. 95-341), Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), and General Mining Law of 1872, as amended (30 U.S.C. 22 et seq.).

T1  - Here today lava tomorrow; archaeological work in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, 1987 to 1989
AN  - 64901591; 112118-1
AB  - This report includes the preliminary results of two excavation projects, three field survey projects and a laboratory based midden sorting and identification project. The projects were undertaken between May 26, 1987 and September 29, 1989 within the Puna-Ka'u Historic District. That district covers 129,655 acres and was entered in the National Register of Historic Places on July 1, 1974. All of the projects focused on the dwindling cultural resources within the Kalapana-Wahaula area of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Since lava flows from Kupaianaha Vent first entered the coastal area of the park in April 1987, over 13,000 recorded archeological features have been buried by lava in the Puna-Ka'u District. Each project has provided exciting results. The identification of charcoal collected from these excavations has provided information on the use of native trees and their availability in the Waha'ula area. A 13th to 16th century notched fishhook, tattoo needle, and adzes were recovered from what looked like a typical 19th century house site. During a total of 12 months of survey ca. 15,000 archeological features and components were identified and recorded within 158 hectares (390 acres). Agricultural features were the primary type recorded within the surveyed area. The creation of pits and mounds both on the a'a and from the excavation of pahoehoe cracks provided the field stone used in this agricultural field system. Work on the inventory of features will continue for a third year in 1990 with the possibility of more excavation of selected features.

T1  - Biological Diversity: Makes a World of Difference. A Curriculum for Teachers and Interpreters.
AN  - 62954515; ED326450
AB  - The environmental education curriculum in this package emphasizes biological diversity. The curriculum contains 10 units--each dealing with a specific concept relating to biological diversity. Each unit contains hands-on activities designed to make children aware of the importance of maintaining a biologically diverse world. Some activities are best suited for use at the school site prior to a visit to a park area. These activities are then reinforced by activities conducted in the park. There are further activities that can be used in the classroom after students return from the park. Units include: (1) "Biodiversity: The Spice of Life"; (2) "Extinction Is Forever"; (3) "The Role of National Parks in Maintaining and Preserving Biological Diversity"; (4) "Biological Diversity: Its Value in $$$ and Sense"; (5) "Biodiversity: Considering the Global Connections"; (6) "Habitat and Niche"; (7) "Organisms/Populations of Organisms"; (8) "Adaptation/Change"; (9) "Communities"; and (10) "Biodiversity at Historic and Cultural Sites." Three levels of biological diversity are explored: ecosystem, species, and genetic. Each unit contains an overview, table of contents, teacher background, pre-visit activities, on-site activities, post-visit activities, evaluation, resources, and blackline masters. Each activity includes the objectives, materials, and procedure. (KR)

T1  - Archeological investigations at Puerco Ruin, Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona
AN  - 52611259; 1998-030154
AB  - During 1988 and 1989, archaeologists from the Western Archaeological and Conservation Center conducted data recovery excavations at Puerco Ruin, Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona. Puerco Ruin is the remains of a 100-plus-room pueblo dating to the late Pueblo III to middle Pueblo IV periods. The data recovery, conducted to mitigate the effects of proposed visitor facilities at the site, included surface collection, excavation, and analysis. In addition, over 1,000 rock art elements surrounding the pueblo were recorded by volunteers from the American Rock Art Research Association. Dating of the site and regional environmental data suggest the pueblo was founded during a period of drought conditions. In the early part of the occupation, there was a heavy reliance on domestic crops, most likely grown in the Puerco River floodplain; later, more wild plants appear to have been used. A wide variety and high percentage of non-traditional food animals, such as carnivores, also appear to have been consumed, possibly indicating environmental stress.

T1  - American River, national recreation area feasibility study
AN  - 16807234; 3757757
AB  - In 1989, Congress directed the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to conduct a one-year study on the feasibility of designating a National Recreation Area (NRA) on the American River in California. To accomplish this objective, BLM began contacting as many interested or affected groups, agencies, and individuals as possible. Through these and other sources, all available data were gathered on the area, its managing agencies, its resources, and its uses. Congressional direction on the purpose of the American River study was clearly stated in House Report 101-120 that accompanied Public Law 101-121. BLM was to prepare a study 'for the purpose of determining the feasibility and desirability of designating a National Recreation Area (NRA) within the American River watershed in association with a flood control or multipurpose dam located at or near the site of the Auburn Dam.'

T1  - Grass Creek/Cody Wilderness environmental impact statement
AN  - 16806696; 3757762
AB  - The environmental impact statement (EIS) analyzes the impacts that would result from either designating or not designating five wilderness study areas (WSAs) as wilderness. The proposed action recommends wilderness designation for the Owl Creek and the Bobcat Draw WSAs, no wilderness designation for the Sheep Mountain and the Red Butte WSAs, and a partial wilderness designation for the McCullough Peaks WSA. Impacts relate to the prohibition of surface-disturbing activities to provide for the protection of wilderness values, and big game, fisheries, and riparian habitats. Wilderness values would be protected on 710 acres. Wilderness designation would assure long-term protection of migration routes for elk, mule deer, and big-horn sheep. Streams and riparian areas would be restored and fish populations would increase three-fold over the long term.

T1  - Warner Wetlands Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) Management Plan
AN  - 16806178; 3757773
AB  - Located on the western periphery of the Great Basin, the Warner Wetlands Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) covers nearly all of the northern third of Warner Valley in southern Oregon. Within its boundaries are more than 51,000 acres of public lands administered by the Lakeview District, Bureau of Land Management; of which nearly 19,000 acres are wetlands of various kinds. Here can be found geological features unique in all of North America, containing thousands of acres of marshlands, lakes, sloughs, potholes, and meadows. The ACEC plan is that multiple-resource activity plan, and is based upon the resource values and allocations made within the ACEC. Each section in this plan corresponds to an activity plan prepared for the various resources involved (wildlife habitat, geology, cultural resources, recreation, botany, and livestock grazing), completed according to the applicable BLM Manual requirements for the specific resources considered.

Volume III: The segment provides background and reference material that was used in developing the strategy discussed in Volume I. Part 1 presents a number of important field-identified issues that concern the tri-state region. These issues resemble the Bureau challenges, and offer localized perspectives on the basic concerns of the challenges. Part 2 discusses the SCORPs (State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plans) for each of the three states. It distills the information from those documents that applies to BLM's recreation and wilderness concerns in Montana and the Dakotas. Part 3 of Volume III examines a host of socioeconomic factors, trends and needs that must be considered in any recreational planning efforts for the three states. [See also Volume 2, PB91-168013.

AB  - The Gulkana River, a clear-water tributary to the Copper River in south-central Alaska, was designated a National Wild River by Congress on December 2, 1980. Inclusion into the Wild and Scenic Rivers System was based partially on its location in a wilderness environment with a variety of wildlife, excellent water quality, excellent habitat for resident and anadromous fish, and outstanding opportunities for recreational boating. The goal of the project was to identify the amount of water necessary to preserve and protect the natural values of the Gulkana National Wild River and its immediate corridor environs and to recommend a legal mechanism through which those recommended flow regimes can be recognized and protected.

T1  - Riparian area management: Riparian and wetland classification review.
AN  - 16493962; 2942010
AB  - It is the policy of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to apply the Standard Ecological Site Description procedure patterned after the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) Range Site procedure and expanded by the BLM to grazable woodland, native pasture, and riparian sites. However, other classification and description procedures exist and often must be used to make use of all available information or to coordinate between other agencies and institutions during riparian and wetland inventory. The document introduces major concepts relevant to the understanding of riparian systems and reviews selected riparian and wetland classification and description procedures. Appendix A contains a cross-walk of those reviewed classification and description procedures that can be readily applied to riparian site descriptions and concepts of vegetation succession and site progression. Appendixes B-E provide information and define terminology that should help in understanding and applying classification and description procedures.

T1  - Water-quality assessment of the Albemarle-Pamlico drainage basin, North Carolina and Virginia - A summary of selected trace element, nutrient, and pesticide data for bed sediments, 1969-90
AN  - 16214081; 4275221
AB  - Spatial distributions of metals and trace elements, nutrients, and pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) in bed sediment were characterized using data collected from 1969 through 1990 and stored in the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water Data Storage and Retrieval (WATSTORE) system and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Storage and Retrieval (STORET) system databases. Bed-sediment data from WATSTORE and STORET were combined to form a single database of 1,049 records representing 301 sites. Data were examined for concentrations of 16 metals and trace elements, 4 nutrients, 10 pesticides, and PCB's. Maximum bed-sediment concentrations were evaluated relative to sediment-quality guidelines developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Energy, and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. Sites were not selected randomly; therefore, results should not be interpreted as representing average conditions. Many sites were located in or around lakes and reservoirs, urban areas, and areas where special investigations were conducted. Lakes and reservoirs function as effective sediment traps, and elevated concentrations of some constituents occurred at these sites. High concentrations of many metals and trace elements also occurred near urban areas where streams receive runoff or inputs from industrial, residential, and municipal activities. Elevated nutrient concentrations occurred near lakes, reservoirs, and the mouths of major rivers. The highest concentrations of arsenic, beryllium, chromium, iron, mercury, nickel, and selenium occurred in the Roanoke River Basin and may be a result of geologic formations or accumulations of bed sediment in lakes and reservoirs. The highest concentrations of cadmium, lead, and thallium were detected in the Chowan River Basin; copper and zinc were reported highest in the Neuse River Basin. Total phosphorus and total ammonia plus organic nitrogen concentrations exceeded the sediment evaluation guidelines in each major river basin, possibly resulting from wastewater inputs and agricultural applications. Exceedances of pesticide guidelines were detected in the upper Neuse River Basin near Falls Lake and in the lower Tar River Basin.

T1  - Issues and alternatives for management of the lower Deschutes River. Summary document.
AN  - 16090237; 2650784
AB  - The various agencies having management responsibilities within the lower 100 miles of the Deschutes River Canyon, Oregon, USA, along with the Deschutes River Management Committee, are in the process of developing a comprehensive plan which will guide the management of this area for the next several years. The development of this plan is required by the Oregon Legislature in HB 3019 and the U.S. Congress through its designation of the lower 100 miles of the Deschutes River as a component of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers system. The first phase of the planning process and the purpose of the document is to specifically identify problems (issues) that exist and develop various solutions (alternatives) for resolving them.

T1  - US HIGHWAY 189, UTAH VALLEY TO HEBER VALLEY, UTAH AND WASATCH COUNTIES, UTAH (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1979).
AN  - 36403645; 2453
AB  - PURPOSE: Widening and realignment of 22 miles of U.S. Highway 189 between its junctions with Utah Route 52 and U.S. Highway 40 in Utah and Wasatch counties, Utah are proposed. This final supplement to the final environmental impact statement of September 1979 addresses some of the improvements to roads between the junction of Utah Route 52 with Interstate 15 (I-15) in Orem on the west and the intersection of U.S. 189 with U.S. Highway 40 approximately 0.5 mile south of Heber City on the east. A 5-mile section of the 25-mile overall route, from the western terminus to the Murdock Diversion in Provo Canyon, has been improved to a 4-lane facility. The preferred alternative would have two lanes in each direction, divided by a median, with minimum pavement and clear zone widths and a separate recreation path. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Proposed roadway improvements would enhance the capacity and safety of the highway while maintaining the recreational and aesthetic qualities of the canyon. Road realignment would correct substandard geometry to meet current design criteria. Access to developed recreation facilities in Provo Canyon and Heber Valley would be improved significantly, and turnouts would be provided for use by sightseers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 227 acres of land, involving displacement of one housing unit. A total of 29 receptors would sustain noise impacts, and 227 acres of terrestrial habitat would be impacted. Although 21 acres of wetlands would be impacted by the project, all of this habitat would be replaced at other sites. A total of 183 acres of terrestrial habitat would also be replaced. Approximately 1,530 feet of Provo River would require relocation, and the river would be affected by five river crossings. One archaeological site, two historic sites, and two miles of historic railroad tracks that are eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be affected. Two public parks and one recreation area would also be affected by the project. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Federal Aid Highway Act of 1968 (23 U.S.C. 128(a)), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - LAKE BERRYESSA RESERVOIR AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN, NAPA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36406467; 2431
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 3 miles wide at its widest point. Approximately 28,916 acres of federally owned and/or managed land surround the lake. The lake 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. Planning precepts address resource protection, public access, improvement of short-term uses, continued long-term uses, floodproofing, protection of water quality, maintenance of visual resources, encouragement of water-oriented outdoor recreational uses, improvement of enforcement capabilities, expansion of visitor information services, and 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 76 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, protecting water resources management and recreational uses of the lake. The general socioeconomic status of the local area would improve. Health and safety and law enforcement capabilities within the concerned area would be improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Additional development could result in moderate to major damage to soils, topography, and scenic resources. Resort development could have a moderate 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.

T1  - SAFFORD DISTRICT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36406040; 2427
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 in 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. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN, LASSEN VOLCANIC NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1981).
AN  - 36402623; 2432
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a general management plan for development and visitor use within Lassen Volcanic National Park, located approximately 30 miles north of Sierra Nevada at the southern edge of the Cascade Range in northeastern California, is proposed. This draft supplement to the final environmental impact statement of January 1981 on the general management plan examines the impacts of returning certain traditional visitor uses to the Manzanita Lake area of the park. The general management plan proposed the removal of all structures from the Chaos Jumbles area and reopening Loops A and B of the Manzanita Lake Campground. Under the newly proposed action, the historic structures would be retained, refurbished, and used adaptively for visitor use and other park purposes. The nature and environmental trails at Reflection Lake and Lily Pond would be reopened for visitor use, and the Reflection Lake picnic area would be refurbished. Finally, Loops A and B of the Manzanita Lake Campground would be left closed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Significant visitor use gains would be achieved through reopening of the nature trails and adaptive use of the historic structures. Cultural values would be preserved. Approximately 25 acres, including three acres of sensitive lakefront environment, now occupied by Loops A and B of the campground, would be allowed to revert or be restored to natural conditions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Less than one acre of natural environment would be displaced to reopen trails and improve the necessary access road. A small amount of acreage now occupied by historic structures, nature trails, and a picnic area would continue to be displaced. Although the campsites that would be lost through abandonment of the loops would be replaced elsewhere, the experience of camping in immediate association with the lake would be gainsaid. Hazards associated with geologic activity in the visitor use area would continue to be a threat to visitors. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Order 11593 and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements, see 77-0882D, Volume 1, Number 9, and 81-0188F, Volume 5, Number 3, respectively.

T1  - GRAND JUNCTION RESOURCE AREA, RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO: WILDERNESS PLAN.
AN  - 36399999; 2435
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management scheme for seven wilderness study areas (WSAs) in the Grand Junction Resource Area of Colorado is proposed. The WSAs under consideration include the 21,050-acre Demaree Canyon WSA, 26,525-acre Little Book Cliffs WSA, 18,143-acre Black Ridge Canyons WSA, 54,265-acre Black Ridge Canyons West WSA, 26,050-acre The Palisade WSA, 75,800-acre Dominguez Canyon WSA, and 19,140-acre Sewemup Mesa WSA. For the most part, the seven WSAs are located in the west-central portion of Colorado within the Colorado Plateau physiographic province. The area is divided into pinyon-juniper woodland and sagebrush-saltbrush mosaic. The province has tablelands of moderate to considerable relief. Elevations range from 5,000 to 8,000 feet. Local relief is from 500 to more than 1,000 feet in some of the deeper canyons. The Black Ridge Canyons West WSA includes land in the Moab (Utah) District, and the Dominguez Canyon and Sewemup Mesa WSAs include lands in the Montrose District. Counties involved include Garfield, Mesa, Delta, and Montrose counties in Colorado and Grand County in Utah. Under the proposed action most of the Black Ridge Canyons, Black Ridge Canyons West, Dominquez Canyon, and Sewemup Mesa WSAs would be recommended for inclusion in the National Wilderness System, while the entire Little Book Cliffs, Demaree Canyon, and The Palisade WSAs would be released from further wilderness review. The Black Ridge Canyons and Black Ridge Canyons West WSAs would be combined to form a single wilderness area to which an additional 2,760 acres in two parcels outside the WSA boundaries would be added to provide a total wilderness area of 73,973 acres. A total of 590 acres within the Black Ridge Canyons WSA, 673 acres within the Black Ridge Canyons West WSA, 2,245 acres within the Dominquez Canyon WSA, and 305 acres within the Sewemup Mesa WSA would be excluded from wilderness designation. The Palisade WSA and the escarpment to the west would be managed as an outstanding natural area and area of critical environmental concern. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Numerous oil, gas, and coal leases would be open for exploration and development in lands declared unsuitable for wilderness designation. Opportunities for primitive recreation and solitude would be protected within WSA acreage designated as wilderness. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Surface disturbances from oil, gas, and coal development activities would degrade the pristine nature of the WSAs that are not included in the National Wilderness System. Wilderness values within the Dominguez Canyon WSA would be somewhat impaired by development of seven reservoirs, affecting 4,500 acres. In general, the wilderness values of primitiveness and solitude would not be protected in those areas that are not designated as wilderness, and mineral development opportunities would be foregone in areas declared suitable for wilderness designation. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements on the Grand Junction Resource Area resource management plan, see 85-0154D, Volume 9, Number 4, and 85-0510F, Volume 9, Number 11, respectively.

T1  - GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL PARKWAY, POTOMAC GREENS, VIRGINIA.
AN  - 36403672; 2454
AB  - PURPOSE: Issuance of a permit for construction of a diamond interchange on the George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP) at Daingerfield Island opposite Potomac Greens, Virginia is proposed. The GWMP serves as a scenic gateway to the District of Columbia and contains or connects numerous monuments, historic sites, and recreational areas in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. The parkway and related sites form a valuable greenbelt along the Potomac River through much of the Washington metropolitan area. Construction of the interchange would provide access to a 38-acre parcel, known as Potomac Greens. The Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad (RF&P), which has been granted an access easement to the GWMP, intends to develop this parcel in partnership with a developer. This environmental impact statement studies potential impacts of the proposed development on the GWMP. Under Alternative 1, a permit would be issued by the National Park Service (NPS) for construction of a grade-separated interchange and overpass; the land owner would be expected to develop the Potomac Greens parcel in accordance with existing zoning requirements. Site development could reasonably consist of 2.34 million square feet of office space and 107,000 gross square feet of retail space in 19 buildings, ranging from four to six floors. An optional development plan, Subalternative 1A, would involve the issuance of special use permits for the development of 537,100 square feet of residential space. Alternative 2 would involve the repurchase of access rights by NPS from the RF&P, which would deny the property owner direct access to the GWMP from the Potomac Greens site. No interchange or overpass would be built, and the only access to the parcel would be via Slaters Lane. The owner of Potomac Greens would probably develop a townhouse complex consisting of 220 units and 562,000 gross square feet of residential space. Subalternative 2A would involve the development of a low-intensity industrial/office complex in addition to the townhouses. Alternatives 3 and 4 would would involve the purchase of all or part of the site by NPS. Alternative 3, the partial purchase scheme, would still allow for development of a low-intensity industrial site, while Alternative 4 would result in the development of the site for public recreational uses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Housing and/or commercial development on the Potomac Greens site would contribute to the local economy and help lessen the housing shortage in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Employment rolls would be expanded. Creation of a park on the site would provide additional recreational opportunities in Northern Virginia, a densely populated area. The quality of surface and groundwater draining Potomac Greens and entering the GWMP would improve, since drainage of contaminants from the RF&P rail yards would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Erosion, runoff, impacts on visual, aesthetic, and historic values, and clearance of vegetative habitat due to site development activities would depend on the level of development activity. Local flooding of the GWMP would occur from the 100-year-frequency storm. Alternative 1 would result in increases in vehicular traffic in the area of the site. Traffic in the vicinity of Potomac Greens would become excessive during peak hours by the year 2000 if not before, regardless of what is developed on the Potomac Greens site. LEGAL MANDATES: Public Law 100-446.

T1  - ARIZONA STRIP DISTRICT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, MOHAVE AND COCONINO COUNTIES, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36399489; 2426
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for 2.8 million acres of public lands known as the Arizona Strip, located in the northwest corner of Arizona, is proposed. Isolated from the rest of Arizona by the deep canyons of the Colorado River, this area is geographically, culturally, and economically linked with southern Utah. The district encompasses the northern portion of Mohave and Coconino counties. Planning issues include land tenure adjustments, recreation resources management, mineral resources management, access to public lands, cultural resources management, areas of critical environmental concern (ACEC), and other areas requiring special management. The preferred management alternative would provide management programs for recreation, livestock grazing, mineral exploration and development, wildlife development and utilization, watershed resources, wild burros, woodland products, designated wilderness areas, cultural resources, visual resources, riparian areas, special status species, rights-of-way, and community expansion needs. A total of 13 special management areas, including two ACECs, two resource conservation areas, and one special recreation management area, covering a combined area of 445,000 acres, would be included in the plan, along with management prescriptions for each area. Approximately 17,170 acres would be available for various public purposes around communities to meet long-term public needs. Acquisition and exchange programs would focus on 147,600 acres of state land. Management of 613,000 acres, mainly in remote areas, would focus on preserving natural backcountry characteristics and associated recreational values. Most of the district would continue to be open to mineral activities. All of the district would receive some form of off-road vehicle designation. Six ACECs would be established to protect cultural resources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would provide for a diverse combination of balanced uses, while accommodating a responsive approach to planning issues, resolution of conflicts, more focused management in areas with special values, and management objectives of adjacent federal lands. Multiple uses that now characterize management of the area would be reflected in the planning objectives. Land use and access restrictions would result in long-term benefits for watersheds, wetlands, and special status wildlife and plant species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Special management area status and other restrictions for some lands would limit the use of and access to some areas. Transfer of up to 17,170 acres could negatively affect mineral development on these lands, and the plan would result in seasonal oil/gas restrictions. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - UTILITY CORRIDOR PROPOSED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, ALASKA.
AN  - 36399592; 2425
AB  - PURPOSE: A plan to manage 6.1 million acres of public lands in the Utility Corridor planning area in Alaska is proposed. An overriding principle of this presently proposed plan is to maintain the Utility Corridor for the transportation of energy minerals. No action would be allowed that adversely affects this primary purpose. The preferred alternative emphasizes the recreational opportunities within the Utility Corridor. The proposed management actions outline a program of intensive management toward the development of these opportunities while providing for energy transportation, the Corridor's primary purpose. All lands would be opened to mineral location except the area designated as the ""inner Corridor,'' the Jim River and Prospect Creek, the recommended Nigu wilderness area, eight natural salt licks in the ""outer Corridor,'' and the Kanuti River west of the inner Corridor. All areas would be opened to mineral leasing with the exception of wilderness areas and stipulated setback areas on rivers closed to mineral location. Mineral materials (gravel) extraction would be allowed throughout most of the area except in the eight identified lick areas; the Kanuti Hot Springs, Nigu-Iteriak, and Sukakpak Mountain areas of critical environmental concern (ACEC); and in designated wilderness areas. Gravel extraction would only be allowed in the Jim River and Prospect Creek streambeds and floodplains, and the Ivishak River ACEC if no other economically feasible locations for mineral materials could be found. Development nodes would be defined for the Yukon Crossing, Coldfoot, Chandalar, and Happy Valley. Lands to be made available for disposal include those south of the Yukon River, the Coldfoot node, and the remainder of the east-west corridor adjacent to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. New waysides, campsites, trailheads, and cabin sites would be identified and developed after completion of a Recreation Activity Management Plan. A transportation corridor would be reserved to provide future access to the Ambler mining district. An off-road vehicle use plan would be initiated after approval of the land use plan. The ""upper Nigu block'' would be recommended for wilderness designation; no other lands in the Central Arctic Management Area would be so recommended. Sufficient numbers of musk-oxen would be transplanted to support a viable population on Bureau of Land Management lands near Pingaluligit Mountain in the Oolamnagavik block. An inventory of fisheries resources would be encouraged in the Utility Corridor. The effective life of this plan is expected to be approximately 10 years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative was selected to provide a balance of multiple uses that would produce a range from recreational use to extractive use of resources to meet the national demand. Substantial increases in employment opportunities are expected due to increased oil and gas exploration on the North Slope. The total increase in employment could reach 50 to 60 jobs during the three-year exploration phase and 1,500 to 2,000 jobs for four to eight years should there be a development phase. On-line operation of production facilities, etc., could require 150-300 workers for 8 to 30 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed plan could result in potential increased disturbances to soils in the area and in water quality. Additional recreation use and development of facilities would increase the impact on vegetation resources. Approximately 700 acres would be impacted by mining operations, with 186 miles of access roads; 760 acres would be impacted by oil drilling pads, including 61 miles of gravel roads and 100 miles of secondary access roads, resulting in 32,000 impacted acres. The greatest wildlife impacts would be to moose, Dall's sheep, and bears due to increases in human and animal interaction. There would be a direct impact to cultural resources from increases in recreational activity. A significant restriction to subsistence uses and needs could result from land sales in Coldfoot and the Yukon Crossing. Additional population in the area would increase hunting pressure on subsistence resources.

T1  - THREE RIVERS RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, HARNEY, GRANT, LAKE, AND MALHEUR COUNTIES, OREGON.
AN  - 36399645; 2441
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 action alternatives designed to meet management requirements over the next 10 to 15 years are under consideration. 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 (ACEC), 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 115 miles of streams; an average annual timber harvest of 578 million board feet from 8,263 acres of commercial forestland; forage allocations of 139,851 animal unit months (AUMs) for livestock, 5,808 AUMs for wild horses and burros, and 7,800 AUMs for big game (competitive forage only); the improvement in wetland, aquatic, and playa habitat; aggressive management of special status plant and animal species; the administration of 17,176 acres as Special Recreation Management Areas; the designation of approximately 1,730 acres associated with 5.4 miles of the Middle Fork Malheur River and Bluebucket Creek for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System as Wild River; and the retention of 17,456 acres and addition of 43,539 acres as ACECs. A total of approximately 38,523 acres of public land would be considered for sale over the planning period. 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. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - SAN XAVIER DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36403364; 2418
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of the San Xavier Development Project is proposed to provide an irrigation system for agricultural purposes. The project would deliver water to the San Xavier District of the Tohono O'odham Nation, which is located approximately 10 miles southwest of downtown Tuscon, Arizona. The project would be part of the settlement of a water rights suit filed by the Papago Tribe of Arizona, now the Tohono O'odham Nation, against several major water users in the Santa Cruz and Avra-Altar basins in southern Arizona. Under the settlement, a total of 66,000 acre-feet of imported water per year was awarded to the Nation. Specific quantities of water are to be delivered to the Schuk Toak and San Xavier districts within the Nation. The main features of the preferred alternative would involve canals, pipelines, field ditches, turnouts, floodways, land leveling, and construction of a headquarters office. More specifically, the project would irrigate a net area of 8,379 acres using sprinkler, surface, and bubbler irrigation systems. The project would begin in the vicinity of the southeast corner of the project boundary at the Central Arizona Project (CAP) turnout near the CAP regulating reservoir. It would be separated into nine sectors by floodways extending from north to south through the project area. The development would use approximately 38,100 acre-feet of water per year to irrigate the net acreage. An additional 1,800 acre-feet of water would be used annually to maintain the vegetation in the floodways and the vegetated corridors. Annually, a total of 4,000 acre-feet of water would be reserved for use on the existing farm and 6,100 acre-feet of water would be available for other uses as yet unspecified. The estimated cost of the project is $42.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Annual net income of the Nation would increase substantially due to the availability of new irrigation water. Groundwater pumping requirements would decline substantially, relieving severe overdraft problems in the area. Employment rolls for the Nation would increase significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project implementation would result in severe habitat degradation and loss, severance of contiguous habitat, impairment of wildlife movement corridors, loss of special status species and other wildlife, and wildlife drownings. Approximately 3,401 acres of Palo Verde-mixed cacti habitat would be lost. Numerous archaeological sites could be impacted in an area in which human habitation extends backward over at least 12,000 years. Groundwater contamination could occur due to farm uses on overlying soils. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (P.L. 93-638), and Southern Arizona Water Rights Settlement Act of 1982 (P.L. 97-293).

T1  - ARCATA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36400069; 2429
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for the six management areas and scattered tracts in the Arcata and Clear Lake resource areas of the Ukiah District of California is proposed. The overall planning area lies in northwestern California and includes the Arcata Resource Area except for the King Range National Conservation Area. It includes those portions of the Clear Lake Resource Area that were not addressed in the recent Clear Lake Management Framework Plan. Management areas under consideration include the Samoa Peninsula, Lacks Creek, Butte Creek, King Range Vicinity, Red Mountain, Covelo Vicinity, and several scattered tracts with old-growth and timber production values. The 10-year planning scheme would cover 257,000 acres of public land, including 125,000 acres of public domain, and 132,000 acres of mineral reserve. The Samoa Peninsula area would be managed to provide opportunities for off-road vehicle recreation; protect populations of Menzie's wallflower, as well as coastal wetlands and other natural values; provide opportunities for other nonconsumptive recreational uses; and facilitate research into the Manila Dunes. Approximately 42 acres south of Manila Dunes (Lindgren property) would be acquired to enhance access to and expand the Manila Dunes area. The Lacks Creek area would be managed to increase timber production, provide minor forest products, and consolidate land ownership patterns. The Butte Creek area would be managed to enhance natural values, including old-growth forest characteristics and habitat for the northern spotted owl; enhance riparian conditions in Butte Creek; and consolidate land ownership patterns. The King Range Vicinity area would be managed to enhance watershed conditions and the visual quality of coastal streams, consolidate land ownership patterns, and ensure consistency with the existing King Range Management Program. The Red Mountain area would be managed to enhance old-growth forest characteristics, protect unique botanical values, protect nests and foraging habitat of peregrine falcons, enhance anadromous fish streams and other riparian habitat, facilitate research on unique soils on Red Mountain, enhance natural values within the Northern California Coast Range Preserve, provide forest products, consolidate land ownership, and use public lands to help satisfy the California in-lieu entitlements. The Covelo Vicinity area and scattered tracts would be managed to consolidate federal interests in areas of high visibility and to help satisfy California in-lieu entitlements. This final environmental impact statement provides for more environmental protection for the Samoa/Manila area, an 800-acre area of critical environmental concern/resource natural area (ACEC /RNA) for Lacks Creek, and for changing the proposed action in the Scattered Tracts Management Area to No Action, which will result in more land retention and designation of the old-growth ACEC/RNAs in Iaqua Butte and Gilham Butte. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Off-road vehicle use would be greatly enhanced, increasing levels from 11,000 to nearly 17,500 visitor days per year. Botanical values and passive recreation opportunities would be protected and enhanced on the Samoa Dunes and moderately benefitted on the Manila Dunes. Acquisition of 5,300 acres of commercial forestland would significantly benefit the availability of the market and the timber management program for the district over the long-term, increasing the potential commercial timber to market from 320 million board feet (MMBF) to nearly 800 MMBF and the annual available cut from 4.7 MMBF to 12.8 MMBF. Approximately 3,470 acres of the planning areas' 7,280 acres of old-growth reserve would be preserved. Some 77,360 acres would be available to help satisfy the state's indemnity selection entitlement and to consolidate federal land ownership. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 2,000 acres of commercial forest would be removed from the timber base, reducing the amount of standing volume available to the market from 387 MMBF to 320 MMBF and the annual available cut from 5.75 MMBF to 4.7 MMBF. Approximately 15,700 acres of commercial forestland would be temporarily removed from production. Timber harvest activities would result in a loss of 3,810 acres of old-growth habitat. Some spotted owls would be displaced. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 88-0078D, Volume 12, Number 3-4.

T1  - POWDER RIVER WILDERNESS SUITABILITY STUDY FOR THE POWDER RIVER RESOURCE AREA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, MILES CITY DISTRICT, MONTANA.
AN  - 36408524; 2439
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for two wilderness study areas (WSAs) within the Powder River Resource Area of southeastern Montana is proposed. The WSAs, which have a combined area of 14,088 acres, would be recommended as unsuitable for wilderness designation. More specifically, the 8,438-acre Zook Creek WSA and the 5,650-acre Buffalo Creek WSA would be managed under the existing resource management plan for nonwilderness uses. Motorized equipment would be used to maintain existing projects, and recreational off-road vehicle use would continue. Grazing would continue on the Buffalo Creek WSA, and the entire area would be open to mineral leasing and development. Two oil/gas wells would be drilled within the Buffalo Creek WSA, and 587 acres would be mechanically treated by chiseling. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Primitive recreational and supplemental values of the WSAs would be retained. The remaining 102 acres within the Buffalo Creek WSA currently in poor to fair condition would be improved to good condition. Vegetative production within the Buffalo Creek WSA would increase by 22 percent, resulting in an increase in livestock forage allocations and cattle numbers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Sights and sounds of off-site mining near the Zook Creek WSA would reduce naturalness on 20 percent of the area intermittently over a five-year period. A seismograph operation within the Buffalo Creek WSA would disturb 7 acres over a 1-year period; the two wells would disturb 5 acres each for 3 years; and the chiseling operation would disturb 587 acres over a period that could last 10 years. Impacts to the Buffalo Creek WSA could be visible within as much as 20 percent of the area. Solitude would be reduced on as much as 40 percent of the Buffalo Creek WSA for a period totalling six months. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements concerning the Powder River Resource Area Management Plan, see 84-0170D, Volume 8, Number 4, and 85-0011F, Volume 9, Number 1, respectively.

T1  - BITTER CREEK WILDERNESS, VALLEY COUNTY, MONTANA.
AN  - 36408153; 2366
AB  - PURPOSE: Continuation of current land uses and existing levels of resource management on the 59,660-acre Bitter Creek Wilderness Study Area (WSA) in Valley County, Montana is proposed. The Bitter Creek WSA is located in an eroded prairie basin in northeast Montana, approximately 25 miles northwest of Glasgow and 18 miles south of the Canadian border. The WSA, which is under consideration for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System, would be designated as unsuitable for wilderness designation. The WSA would be managed for multiple uses as defined in the 1978 Valley Management Framework Plan and the 1980 Prairie Potholes Grazing environmental impact statement. As a result, the WSA would be available for oil and gas exploration and development. Grazing management would continue as a key use, and proposed range improvements would be implemented. Grazing management improvements would include development of three additional reservoirs and 0.74 mile of fence. Up to 20 waterfowl nesting islands could be provided. The WSA would remain open to off-road vehicle use, and existing levels of recreational use, primarily hunting, would continue. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Natural gas resource development could result from exploration within the WSA, and access to recreational opportunities within the area via off-road vehicles would be continued. Range conditions within the WSA would improve due to permitted range developments. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Opportunities to enhance primitive, nonmotorized recreation and to add this prairie ecotype to the wilderness system would be foregone. Range developments would degrade the existing naturalness of the Bitter Creek WSA. Approximately 2,310 acres would be impacted over the short-term due to clubmoss chiseling. Natural gas exploration and development (pad clearing and leveling and access road construction) could create significant site-specific impacts on naturalness. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - BULL MOUNTAIN EXCHANGE, MONTANA.
AN  - 36403073; 2351
AB  - PURPOSE: Transfer of 3,674.36 acres of federal coal estate, administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), in the Bull Mountains area south of Roundtop, Montana is proposed in exchange for 9,008.49 acres of high-value recreational land and wildlife habitat. The Meridian Minerals Company would receive the coal estate in exchange for the recreational land and wildlife habitat. Present coal ownership in the area of the lands to be transferred is distributed in a checkerboard pattern of alternating sections between Meridian Minerals and BLM. Surface ownership of the coal lands would be unaffected by the exchange. Yellowstone Coal Company, a mining company whose principals operate small independent mining operations in Eastern Kentucky and southern West Virginia, approached Meridian and requested that it seek an exchange. The federal in-place coal reserves included in the exchange application total 54.5 million tons. A total of 43.6 million tons would be recoverable by a long-wall mining operation, and 27.3 million tons would be recoverable by a room-and-pillar mining operation. The value of the federal coal under consideration for exchange has been determined to have a fair market value of $730,000. In exchange for the coal estate, Meridian would convey lands with high recreational, wildlife, and watershed values, located in 11 counties throughout the state to BLM. Only the top six priority areas are discussed in this document; these priority lands have a minimum value that BLM would accept in exchange for the federal coal. As part of their effort to market the Bull Mountains coal, Meridian has applied to the state of Montana for a test burn permit for 100,000 to 250,000 tons of coal. The actual amount to be mined for the test burn would vary, depending on customer commitments. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the proposed exchange would consolidate an underground coal tract for future development by Meridian or a lessee coal company. By consolidating the existing checkerboard ownership pattern, currently isolated individual sections of coal would be united, removing limitations on the possibility of undertaking large-scale mining operations. Mining operations would provide significant employment and other socioeconomic benefits to the affected area. Lands to be acquired by BLM would be among those identified as high-priority lands for acquisition purposes. Acquisition of these lands would provide protection to fishery habitat, habitat for endangered species and other species, and big game hunting lands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Underground mining could result in subsidence and would result in the alteration of subsurface geological systems. Large-scale development would place stress on the socioeconomic infrastructure of the mining area.

T1  - DIXIE RESOURCE AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN, WASHINGTON COUNTY, UTAH.
AN  - 36403327; 2367
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for public lands within the Dixie Resource Area (DRA) of Washington County, Utah is proposed. The DRA includes 1.2 million acres of federal land, 94,747 acres of state land, and 280,964 acres of private land, for a total area of 1.55 million acres. The DRA contains a variety of topographic features, including plateaus and mesas of the Colorado Plateau Province in the eastern part and mountain ranges, sloping bench lands, and broad desert valleys of the Basin and Range Province in the western part. The preferred management plan, which would provide for multiple-use land and resource direction, would cover fluid minerals, mineral materials, locatable minerals, rights-of-way, land acquisition and disposition, withdrawal and classification of lands, forestry, grazing management, cultural resources, wilderness, visual resources, recreation resources, soil and water resources, air quality, and wildlife habitat, including threatened and endangered species. Areas of critical environmental concern (ACEC) would also be designated. The plan would emphasize long-term retention and protection of public lands. More specifically, the plan would provide 1,400 acres of land within the city limits of communities with high growth rates and 7,700 acres near such communities for exchanges; special management for 100,080 acres within ACECs and 153,950 acres of important recreational opportunities; usual and customary fluid mineral development on 90 percent of the medium- and high-potential areas; locatable mining on 80 percent of the medium- and high-potential areas; salable mineral materials on more than 80 percent of the DRA; two interstate utility corridors; long-term management of 27,000 acres of difficult-to-manage property near and within city limits; and nondisposal of 617,770 acres of public lands. 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 negotiate for identified acquisition lands. Acreage designated for ACEC status and mineral restrictions under the preferred plan would increase significantly, protecting important habitats. Visual management objectives for the western half of the resource area would allow more surface protection discretion to protect sensitive desert scenery. Off-road vehicle limitation zoning would also reflect this commitment to protecting the desert environment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: A cumulative commitment of 9,905 acres of disposal parcels would be irreversibly committed; this commitment would be more than compensated with cumulative acquisition of 39,565 acres of private and state property having important resource values. The two utility corridors would also represent an irreversible commitment of natural resources. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (42 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - EVALUATION OF PETITION TO DECLARE CERTAIN LANDS UNSUITABLE FOR COAL MINE OPERATIONS IN THE FLAT FORK AND MUD CREEK WATERSHEDS, MORGAN COUNTY, TENNESSEE.
AN  - 36404495; 2350
AB  - PURPOSE: On September 27, 1985, Donald E. Todd, Mary Ann McPeters, William E. Armes, and the Frozen Head State Park Association, Inc., jointly with the Tennessee Citizens for Wilderness Planning and the Sierra Club, filed a petition with the Office of Surface Mining (OSM) to designate certain lands within the Flat Fork and Mud Creek watersheds of Morgan County, Tennessee as unsuitable for surface coal mining. Evaluation of the petition was delayed nearly three years as a result of legal appeals. OSM determined the petition to be administratively complete on January 24, 1986. The 5,250-acre petition area is located in the eastern portion of Morgan County, encompassing 8.2 square miles in the Flat Fork and Mud Creek watersheds. The area consists of steep mountainous terrain with a single, relatively flat intermontane stream valley. Flat Fork and its tributaries constitute the main drainage of the petition area. The majority of the petition area is owned by the state of Tennessee and the Emory River Land Company. The mining scenario developed for the Flat Fork petition area consists of one 150-acre surface contour mine operating on the Walnut Mountain, Walnut Mountain Rider, and Pewee seams over a five-year period. The primary allegations of the petition are that the petition area must be designated as unsuitable for surface mining operations because reclamation would not be technologically and economically feasible; such operations would be incompatible with existing state and local land use plans or programs; such operations would result in significant damage to important historic, cultural, scientific, and aesthetic values and natural systems; mining could result in substantial loss or reduction of the water supply; and designation of the area as suitable for mining would have little effect on the total supply of coal but would have a substantial detrimental effect on the environment. In addition to taking no action on the petition, alternatives open to the Secretary of the Interior regarding the petition would include: (1) designation of the entire petition area as unsuitable for all surface coal mining operations; (2) not designating any of the petition area as unsuitable for surface mining; (3) designation of parts of the petition area as unsuitable for all or certain types of surface coal mining; and (4) designation of the entire petition area as unsuitable for surface mining while allowing underground mining. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Prohibition of surface mining in the area would protect its natural and cultural resources for present and future generations. Forestry uses, which occupy 73 percent of the area, and agricultural uses, which occupy 22 percent of the area, would be protected against long-term damage due to surface mining. Annual coal production from the mine, should mining be allowed, would amount to approximately 200,000 tons. Underground mining would access and recover approximately 600,000 tons of coal. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Surface mining could reduce the ability of the petition area to accommodate current levels of forestry and agricultural uses. Should the petition be approved, approximately 1.9 million short tons of coal would be eliminated from the market.

T1  - PROPOSED OIL AND GAS DRILLING NEAR BADGER CREEK AND HALL CREEK, LEWIS AND CLARK NATIONAL FOREST, GLACIER AND PONDERA COUNTIES, MONTANA.
AN  - 36399321; 2348
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of an oil and gas exploration scheme in the North End Geographic Unit of the Rocky Mountain Ranger District of the Lewis and Clark National Forest in Montana is proposed. The area under consideration, which lies in Glacier and Pondera counties, is commonly known as the Badger-Two Medicine Area; the Blackfeet aboriginal peoples often refer to the area as the ""ceded strip'' or ""Blackfeet unit.'' This statement analyzes the impacts of proposed drilling applications submitted by Chevron USA for lands near Badger Creek and Fina Oil and Chemical Company for lands near Hall Creek. More specifically, Chevron USA submitted a permit application to drill an exploratory well on its federal lease M-25173, located northeast of Goat Mountain in Section 35, Township 29 North, Range 12 West in Pondera County. Lease M-25173 was issued October 1, 1981, with a lease term of 10 years. Chevron anticipates that drilling activity would encompass 13 months, commencing the first field season following the issuance of the permit. The permit would allow the drilling of an exploratory well to evaluate oil and /or gas potential on Chevron's lease acreage. If hydrocarbons are encountered, their production potential would be evaluated. Fina Oil and Chemical Company was issued a permit for drilling an exploratory well on federal lease M-53323 in the Hall Creek vicinity of the Badger-Two Medicine area on June 1, 1982, with a lease term of 10 years. Fina's proposed exploratory well site, to be developed over an eight-month period, is located in Section 26, Township 30 North, Range 13 West in Glacier County. Based on issues and concerns identified during the scoping process, the statement focuses on impacts to water resources, air quality, Glacier National Park resources, the Bob Marshall and Great Bear wildernesses, the Badger-Two Medicine roadless area, wildlife and fisheries, vegetation, outdoor recreation and visual resources, archaeological resources, Blackfeet Tribe reserved rights and traditional religious practices, local economic and social conditions, and public health and safety. A total of 33 combinations of alternatives, including roaded access and helicopter mobilization of the drilling projects, are under consideration. The preferred alternative would involve issuance of permits for the exploration projects with allowances for roaded access and requirements for mitigation of environmental impacts. Development costs for the Chevron and Fina preferred alternatives are estimated at $9.87 million and $5.6 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Exploratory drilling would provide Fina and Chevron with an indication as to the economic potential of oil and gas reserves under the permit area. Roads constructed in association with the exploratory activities would provide access to the area for recreationists. Chevron activities would upgrade existing roads in the Badger Creek drainage and add some new roads to the roadless area extending from North Badger Creek to the well site. Fina access roads would also aid in exploration of adjacent lease tracts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Road construction for seismic and/or other exploratory measures would result in the destruction of wildlife habitat and, perhaps, in a decline of the goat population. Activities in the lower South Fork of Two Medicine Balley and the area encompassing the Fina well site could add to local emissions and dust and noise levels in the Highway 2 and Burlington Northern Railroad corridors as well as portions of the Glacier National Park airshed. Visual and noise conflicts could arise between exploration traffic and recreationists using the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail and the Two Medicine-Elk Calf Mountain National Recreation Trail. Activities related to single-well and multi-well production of the Chevron and Fina leases could generate activity on other leases that would increase impacts to local resources. Some conflicts with Blackfeet prerogatives would be expected. LEGAL MANDATES: Energy Security Act of 1980, Federal Onshore Oil and Gas Leasing Reform Act of 1987 (P.L. 100-203), Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), and National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

T1  - OWYHEE CANYONLANDS WILDERNESS AREA, OREGON, IDAHO, AND NEVADA.
AN  - 36390926; 2365
AB  - PURPOSE: Eight wilderness study areas (WSAs) encompassing 446,067 acres in Owyhee Canyon, where Oregon, Idaho, and Nevada meet, are considered for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. WSAs under consideration include the 224,400-acre Owyhee River Canyon WSA, 24,600-acre Little Owyhee River WSA, 70,160-acre Owyhee River-Deep Creek WSA, 9,990-acre Yatahoney Creek WSA, 31,540-acre Battle Creek WSA, 13,150-acre Juniper Creek WSA, 50,352-acre South Fork Owyhee River WSA, and 21,875-acre Owyhee Canyon WSA. The Owyhee River Canyon WSA lies partly in Idaho (33,700 acres) and partly in Oregon (190,700 acres); the South Fork Owyhee River WSA lies partly in Idaho (42,510 acres) and partly in Nevada (7,842 acres); and the Owyhee Canyon WSA lies entirely in Nevada. All other WSAs under consideration lie entirely in Idaho. Under the proposed action, the area recommended suitable for wilderness would encompass 377,560 acres (including 2,275 non-WSA acres) managed by the Bureau of Land Management and an additional 14,380 acres of state and private lands, which would have to be acquired. The area recommended nonsuitable for wilderness designation would encompass 70,782 acres of public land. With reference to specific WSAs, 185,740 acres within the Owyhee River Canyon WSA, 8,460 acres within the Little Owyhee River WSA, 67,530 acres within the Owyhee River-Deep Creek WSA, 9,550 acres in the Yatahoney Creek WSA, 31,880 acres in the Battle Creek WSA, 12,950 acres in the Juniper Creek WSA, 47,925 acres in the South Fork Owyhee River WSA, and 13,525 acres in the Owyhee Canyon WSA are considered suitable for wilderness. All other lands within the boundaries of the WSAs, amounting to 70,872 acres, would be declared unsuitable for wilderness and would be managed accordingly. POSITIVE IMPACTS: All lands manageable as wilderness within the the eight WSAs would be designated as wilderness and protected from any nonnatural disturbance. As a result, the high desert plateaus and canyonlands of the three-state area would be preserved for primitive recreationists of present and future generations. Bighorn sheep habitat would be protected, allowing the size of area herds to expand. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness characteristics would decline on plateau lands not designated as wilderness. The decline would be due largely to rangeland developments. Semiprimitive motorized access would be eliminated from lands designated as wilderness. Wilderness designation would also restrict some livestock and water developments and vegetative treatments and hinder full implementation of grazing systems. Mineral entry and water resources development would be precluded within newly designated wilderness areas.

T1  - CRAIG DISTRICT WILDERNESS AREA (WHITE RIVER AND KREMMLING RESOURCE AREAS), JACKSON, MOFFAT, AND RIO BLANCO COUNTIES, COLORADO AND UINTAH COUNTY, UTAH.
AN  - 36404517; 2363
AB  - PURPOSE: Designation or nondesignation of eight wilderness study areas (WSAs) in northwest Colorado are analyzed in this draft environmental impact statement (DEIS), which replaces and supersedes the DEIS of 1983 on the White River Resource Area Wilderness Planning Amendment. The WSAs lie in the White River and Kremmling Resource areas, located in Jackson, Moffat, and Rio Blanco counties, Colorado and Uintah County, Utah. The WSAs analyzed include the 12,297-acre Bull Canyon WSA, 13,368-acre Willow Creek WSA, 13,740-acre Skull Creek WSA, 9,932-acre Black Mountain WSA, 12,274-acre Windy Gulch WSA, 17,740-acre Oil Spring Mountain WSA, 8,250-acre Troublesome WSA, and 30-acre Platte River Contiguous WSA. Under the proposed management scheme, the Bull Canyon, Willow Creek, Skull Creek, and Platte River Contiguous WSAs would be recommended as suitable for designation as wilderness. All other WSAs would be recommended as nonsuitable for wilderness status. A 320-acre private inholding within the Bull Canyon WSA would be acquired. Acquisition of adjoining state land and private mineral estate would be pursued in association with designation of the Skull Creek and Willow Creek WSAs as wilderness. Animal unit months allotted for livestock grazing would be maintained at current levels in areas to be designated as wilderness. Range improvements, forest management schemes, and/or oil and gas developments would be implemented within areas designated as unsuitable for wilderness. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values would be protected on more than 40,000 acres of pristine natural area. Ecosystems protected by the wilderness designations would include arid canyon and 0.25 mile of the North Gate Canyon of the North Platte River and that portion of the canyon's rim that is part of the viewshed of the adjacent Platte River Wilderness. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values would be lost on much of the 48,000 plus acres of WSA lands designated as nonsuitable for wilderness status. Operating costs would increase for some livestock holders due to restrictions on motor vehicle use within areas designated as wilderness, and mineral entry would be prohibited in such areas. Recreation use would increase from 700 to 850 visitor-days per year each in the Bull Canyon, Willow Creek, Skull Creek, and Black Mountain WSAs. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - U.S. 101 BYPASS FROM 0.5 MI. SOUTH OF MAY CREEK BRIDGE #4-42, HUMBOLDT COUNTY, TO 0.5 MI. NORTH OF HUMBOLDT/DEL NORTE COUNTY LINE, REDWOOD NATIONAL PARK AND PRAIRIE CREEK REDWOODS STATE PARK, INCLUDING GRAVEL EXTRACTION AND PROCESSING NEAR KLAMATH GLEN, DEL NORTE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF FEBRUARY 1984).
AN  - 36399303; 2375
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of 12 miles of four-lane highway to provide a bypass around 9.8 miles of U.S. 101 of Redwood National Park and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park in Humboldt and Del Norte counties, California is proposed. The bypass would begin at a point 0.5 mile south of the May Creek bridge, follow the north side of May Creek drainage, and skirt the eastern edge of the state park to intersect with existing U.S. 101 approximately 0.5 mile north of the Humboldt /Del Norte county line. The initial 4.5 miles of road would climb approximately 1,400 feet at a sustained grade of 5 to 7 percent. From its high point on the east side of the state park, the road would begin a descent at a grade of 4 to 6 percent for approximately 1.5 miles, followed by a slight upgrade for approximately 1.0 mile. The downgrade on the final 4.6 miles would be approximately 6 percent. Large embankments and long cut areas would be required. This draft supplement to the final environmental impact statement of February 1984 on the highway construction project proposes three possible new sources of gravel for the manufacture of aggregate needed to complete the third stage of the bypass project, which would begin in the spring of 1990 and involve placing the base and paving, and installing a drainage system. Extraction and processing of approximately 500,000 cubic yards of gravel would be required to produce material for the subbase, base, and asphaltic-treated base, and the asphalt concrete needed to complete the bypass project. Gravel processing would include crushing, sorting, washing, and manufacturing of the final product. Available gravel source sites include the Blake Bar property located on the Klamath River just south of Klamath Glen, an active two-mile reach of Turwar Creek just north of Klamath Glen, and the Tracy property located adjacent to the downstream end of the Blake Bar property. Alternatives under consideration could involve the use of one or various combinations of these sites. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The bypass would remove through traffic from the existing portion of U.S. 101 within the park and improve commercial and long-distance travel on the only north-south highway in the north coast region of the state. Congestion caused by slow-moving tourists passing along the segment of highway that traverses the park would be eliminated by separating through traffic from tourist traffic. Extraction would enlarge channel capacity, thereby reducing flood risk. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would require 1,128 acres of rights-of-way, including 631 acres of land belonging to Simpson Timber Company, and would necessitate clearance of nearly 400 acres of second-growth redwood forest, an acre of wetland, and 4.5 acres of old-growth redwoods. Lands within the Redwood National Park and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park would be displaced. Approximately 882 acres of land would be severed from the remainder of the holdings of the Simpson Timber Company. Required earthwork for cuts and fills would be extensive. A temporary decrease in air quality due to dust from extracting and processing operations is expected. Odors may result from asphalt processing. Some disturbance of wildlife habitat may occur.

T1  - CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT OF THE COLUMBIA BASIN PROJECT, GRANT, ADAMS, FRANKLIN, AND LINCOLN COUNTIES, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 36383072; 2401
AB  - PURPOSE: 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 draft environmental impact statement evaluates the effects of providing irrigation water to project lands that are not yet served. These lands 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) completion of the Columbia Basin Project as originally planned by providing irrigation service to an additional 538,600 acres; and (2) 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. 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 alternatives 1 and 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 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. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 531 et seq.), Executive Order 11990, and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - SAN LUIS RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, ALAMOSA, CONEJOS, COSTILLA, RIO GRANDE, AND SAGUACHE COUNTIES, COLORADO.
AN  - 36383107; 2362
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 is 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 Park Service, and approximately 11 percent is administered by various state agencies. The plan, which would direct management of the area over the next 15 to 20 years, would cover 621,000 acres of federal subsurface mineral estate and 520,677 acres of federal surface estate. The plan would focus on six issues, specifically, land tenure adjustments, 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, and historical resources. 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. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED PLAN AMENDMENTS FOR SMALL WILDERNESS STUDY AREAS STATEWIDE, IDAHO.
AN  - 36391146; 2364
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of land and resource management plans is proposed for nine wilderness study areas (WSAs) located in Valley, Twin Falls, Fremont, Bear Lake, Custer, Blaine, and Lincoln counties, Idaho. The WSAs under consideration include the 440-acre Box Creek WSA, 3,500-acre Lower Salmon Falls Creek WSA, 350-acre Henry's Lake WSA, 40-acre Worm Creek WSA, 3,290-acre Goldburg WSA, 1,930-acre Boulder Creek WSA, 3,100-acre Borah Peak WSA, 4,265-acre Little Wood River WSA, and 4,068-acre Black Butte WSA. The preferred management alternative would involve designation as wilderness of 340 acres within the Henry's Lake WSA; all land within the Borah Peak, Worm Creek, and Little Wood River WSAs; and 780 additional acres associated with the Borah Peak WSA. All other lands within the WSAs under consideration would be considered unsuitable for wilderness designation and managed for multiple use. The Lower Salmon Falls Creek WSA would continue to be managed as an Outstanding Natural Area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Management of the WSAs as proposed would result in continued availability of 500,000 board feet of timber over 30 years from the Box Creek WSA. Oil and gas exploration activities would be allowed in the Lower Salmon Falls Creek WSA. Management of most of the Henry's Lake WSA as wilderness would enhance the wilderness value of the adjacent Lion's Head roadless area, while the Worm Creek and Borah Peak WSAs would similarly enhance the adjacent roadless or wilderness areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Water quality within surface flows in the Box Creek WSA would decline, and fish populations would drop by 10 percent. Oil and gas leasing would be prohibited within the Worm Creek WSA, and timber harvest on 39 acres of commercial forest within the WSA would be foregone. Wilderness values would be lost on 930 acres within the Goldburg WSA. Approximately 10 visitor days of motorized recreation would be lost annually from the Borah Peak WSA, and the opportunity to explore for mineral and energy resources and to harvest 14,000 board feet of timber per year would be foregone on 3,880 acres within the WSA. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 88-0014D, Volume 12, Number 1-2.

T1  - SAN RAFAEL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, EMERY COUNTY, UTAH.
AN  - 36407405; 2303
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed for 1.5 million acres of Bureau of Land Management land within the San Rafael Resource Area in Emery County, Utah and the Forest Planning Unit of the Sevier River Resource Area in Sevier County, Utah. The management actions proposed would also cover certain grazing activities in the Henry Mountain Resource Area in Wayne County, Utah. Three alternatives are under consideration. When the resource management plan is adopted, it would provide comprehensive multiple-use guidance for allocating and managing public resources throughout the San Rafael Resource Area and the Forest Planning Unit of the Sevier River Resource Area. The plan outlined in this document describes how the planning area would be managed, including: (1) mitigation measures that would be taken to avoid or minimize environmental harm; (2) the sequence and priorities for implementing decisions; (3) subsequent resource-specific activity planning that may be necessary; and (4) the means by which the plan would be monitored. Specific areas addressed under the management plan would include oil and gas resources, coal resources, other mineral materials, geothermal resources, land dispositions and acquisitions, wilderness, soils, air and water quality, vegetation, wild horse and burro populations, wildlife habitat, endangered species, livestock grazing, forest product use areas, cultural resources, fire control, recreational opportunities, off-road vehicle use, visual resource management, lands available for rights-of-way, and socioeconomic conditions. The resource area's Areas of Critical Environmental Concern would be managed accordingly. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By guiding management of the public lands and resources in the project areas, the preferred plan would ensure appropriate uses of the associated resources for present and future generations. Petroleum production would increase by 13,200 barrels annually, and annual natural gas production would increase by 330 million cubic feet. Mineral material production would increase by 110,000 cubic yards per year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The management plan would require more intensive management of all resources than is presently provided, resulting in annual management cost increases. Antelope habitat would be lost, as would livestock grazing areas, primitive recreational land, and land on which motorized recreation is currently possible. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 88-0314D, Volume 12, Number 9-10.

T1  - COLORADO RIVER WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM: McELMO CREEK SALINITY CONTROL UNIT, MONTEZUMA COUNTY, COLORADO (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MARCH 1988).
AN  - 36399361; 2335
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of irrigation water delivery and management improvements within the McElmo Creek Salinity Control Unit of the Colorado River Basin is proposed. The unit lies in Montezuma County, Colorado. The study area is located in the southwestern corner of the state between prominent physiographic features such as Mesa Verde, rising to an elevation of approximately 8,400 feet on the southeast; Ute Mountain, rising to approximately 10,000 feet on the southwest; and the Dolores River Canyon to the northeast. The improvement plan would involve installation of sprinkler irrigation systems operating with gravity and pumped pressure on 19,700 acres of irrigated land. The off-farm group ditches would be placed in pipe to preserve gravity pressure for 10,400 acres, and pumps would be added at the farm to develop sufficient pressure to operate sprinklers for the 9,300 acres being converted to sprinkler irrigation. Pipelines, gated pipe, or ditch lining would be installed to reduce ditch seepage from 1,850 acres of irrigated land not converted to sprinklers. The estimated cost of the project is $26.15 million; this amount includes $20.3 million for on-farm improvements, $4.07 million for administrative and technical assistance, and $1.8 million for education and evaluation. After the recommended plan is fully implemented, the annual local cost for operation, maintenance, and replacement is estimated at $151,100. The capitalized annual cost including operation, maintenance, and replacement is estimated at $4.09 million. Capitalized annual benefits are estimated at $4.99 million, for a capitalized annual net benefit of $905,300. This final supplement to the draft environmental impact statement of March 1988 on the improvement program provides information from a salinity control study. The scope of the study was limited to inventorying and analyzing current irrigation systems and practices on a sample of the irrigated land and off-farm group ditches. Results of these analyses were expanded to be representative of the approximately 29,100 acres of irrigated land and approximately 235 miles of off-farm group ditches in the Montezuma Valley. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan measures would decrease salt delivered to the Colorado River from McElmo Creek from 60,000 tons per year to 22,000 tons per year. Salinity concentrations at the Imperial Dam would be reduced 3.5 milligrams per liter. Local benefits resulting from these improvements would be reflected in a reduced cost of production, improved irrigation systems, and increased crop yields. Capitalized annual benefits from the project would amount to $3.7 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 615 of the 4,254 acres of wetlands in the project area would be impacted by project measures. Wetlands resulted largely from the introduction of irrigation to the area approximately 75 years ago. As irrigation systems are made more efficient, water seepage that feeds these wetlands would be reduced, and the wetlands would be converted to more xeric forms. LEGAL MANDATES: Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act of 1974, as amended (P.L. 93-320 and P.L. 98-567), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Soil Conservation Act of 1935 (P.L. 46). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) and the draft supplement to the DEIS, see 88-0194D, Volume 12, Number 5-6, and 89-0167D, Volume 13, Number 3, respectively.

T1  - BIG CYPRESS NATIONAL PRESERVE, COLLIER, MONROE, AND DADE COUNTIES, FLORIDA.
AN  - 36390580; 2295
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a general management plan for the Big Cypress National Preserve of Florida is proposed to guide visitor use, natural and cultural resource management, and general development. The preserve lies within Collier, Monroe, and Dade counties. The 574,440-acre preserve extends from the northern boundary of Everglades National Park to seven miles north of Florida Highway 84. Besides Florida 84, U.S. 41 is the other major highway crossing the preserve. The preserve was expanded by 146,000 acres in 1988, but this acreage is not involved in the management plan under consideration; the additional acreage will be addressed in an addendum to the general management plan. The proposed action for the land within the original boundaries considered here would involve the establishment of an interpretive program at the preserve, including six self-guiding walks and several new wayside exhibits. Other visitor services would include 2 canoe trails, 6 primitive front-country campgrounds, 50 backcountry shelters, new picnic facilities at Oasis, and concessioner visitor services and off-road vehicle storage. Backcountry camping would be allowed throughout the Turner River and Loop units and would be permitted at designated sites in the Bear Island, Deep Lake, Corn Dance, and Stairsteps units. National Park Service administrative and residential facilities would continue to be centered at Ochopee and Oasis. Future hunting regulations would provide for a 40-day general gun season, with a full-season quota on hunting permits. Other management provisions would address off-road vehicle use, the use of hunting dogs, restoration of hydrological regimes, use of prescribed fire for vegetation and wildlife habitat management, endangered and threatened species, prehistoric and historic archaeological sites (395 currently known), needs of the Miccosukee and Seminole tribes, and oil and gas geophysical operations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preserve's natural and cultural resources would be protected and enhanced, while more appropriate recreation and consumptive uses would be encouraged. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately four acres of surface water flow would be displaced by proposed developments for visitor use, while oil and gas activities would displace 203 acres of surface water. Oil and gas spills and leaks and use of herbicides would degrade water quality. Approximately 1.5 acres of cypress strand/mixed hardwood swamp /slough, 1.0 acre of marsh, and 1.0 acre of hardwook hammock would be displaced by visitor facilities. An additional 15 acres of disturbed area on hardwood hammocks would be affected by backcountry camping. Human activity in potential Florida panther habitat would continue, and oil and gas activity and other developments would degrade the available habitat. Opportunities for hunting and off-road vehicle use would decline significantly, and this situation would adversely affect property values within the backcountry areas. Prohibition of oil and gas drilling and production in some areas would have adverse economic effects.

T1  - FRYINGPAN-ARKANSAS PROJECT: RUEDI RESERVOIR, COLORADO, ROUND II WATER MARKETING PROGRAM (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1975).
AN  - 36409057; 2336
AB  - PURPOSE: Sale of water from the Ruedi Reservoir on the Fryingpan River of central Colorado is proposed in a program-level supplement to the final environmental impact statement of April 1975 on implementation of the Fryingpan-Arkansas Water Sources Development Project. The primary purpose of the reservoir, which straddles the Eagle Pitkin county line, is to furnish water required for the protection of western Colorado water users, including present water rights and prospective uses of water. Receipts from the sale of water from the reservoir are applied to pay operation and maintenance costs and to reimburse construction costs in excess of $7.6 million. The reservoir has an active conservation capacity of 101,280 acre-feet and a surface area of 997 acres at elevation 7,766 feet above mean sea level. Surcharge capacity of the reservoir is 119,007 acre-feet, at which point the reservoir covers 1,110 acres. The preferred scheme for this second round of water sales would make 51,500 acre-feet of water available for sale under long-term contracts; this figure would include both first and second round sales. Water sales would be restricted to the available water supply provided by Reudi Reservoir, with 28,000 acre-feet being available annually for replacement purposes; water sales would not be made from the replacement pool until additional operating experience was gained. The minimum reservoir content during an average year, during the summer recreation period (June through August), would be approximately 96,200 acre-feet. During a dry year, the reservoir content could drop as low as 52,900 acre-feet. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the reservoir to conform to the sale would yield a marketable water supply of up to 58,000 acre-feet under the dry-year condition, depending on the demand pattern, reflecting shortages of up to 15 percent and 30 percent, respectively, for industrial and municipal domestic uses. Water sales would not significantly impede use of the reservoir by recreationists. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Sale of reservoir water would affect flows in the Fryingpan and Colorado rivers and Roaring Fork, and would increase salinity levels in Colorado River flows. Significant trout habitat would be lost as a result, and survival rates for threatened and endangered fish would decline somewhat. Alteration of the reservoir pool would have some slight effects on its recreational quality, and there would be a chance that the water level would be lower than the recommended level on any given September 1. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), and Public Law 87-590.

T1  - POWDER RIVER REGIONAL COAL, MONTANA AND WYOMING: MONTANA PORTION (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF DECEMBER 1981).
AN  - 36400029; 2284
AB  - PURPOSE: Leasing of federal coal tracts in the Powder River Coal Region of Montana is proposed. This draft supplement to the final environmental impact statement (EIS) of December 1981 assesses the economic, social, and cultural impacts to the Northern Cheyenne and Crow Tribes from the proposed leasing action; it responds to the decisions and orders of the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana in Civil Case No. 82-116-BLG-JFB, issued May 28, 1985 and October 6, 1986. The leasing alternatives contain 567 million, 389 million, and 816 million tons, respectively, of recoverable federal coal. In addition to the three Powder River leasing proposals, this supplemental EIS contains two ""no-action'' alternatives that serve as baselines, each based on the assumption that no Powder River I leasing would occur. The High Baseline Alternative would include existing power plants and coal mines in the study area, plus the following five privately proposed projects, none of which involve leasing of Powder River I federal coal tracts: Montco coal mine, CX Ranch coal mine, Greenleaf-Miller coal mine, Wolf Mountain coal mine, and the Tongue River Railroad. The Low Baseline Alternative would include only existing power plants and mines in the study area. The leasing alternatives proposed here would involve a variety of new mine tract mixes in Montana. All of the leasing alternatives contain the same six expansion/extension tracts and different mixes of new mine tracts. The preferred alternative would contain the common six expansion/extension tracts as well as the Cook Mountain, Coal Creek, and Northwest Otter Creek new mine tracts; this alternative would involve 567 million tons of recoverable coal. Average annual mining under the preferred alternative would lead to the production of 27 million tons of coal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to contributing to regional and national energy needs, operation of the leases would boost the local economy of the Powder River, including the economies of the Northern Cheyenne and Crow tribes. Tribal employment rolls and other long-term socioeconomic indicators would increase substantially. The Northern Cheyenne would experience improved infrastructural arrangements near their northern reservation boundary. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The influx of personnel and their families into the area would place stress on tribal social resources and infrastructure; these pressures would particularly affect the Ashland/St. Labre area. Conflicts among Native American groups and between Native Americans and non-Native Americans would increase. The influx of non-Native residents would detract from the homeland feeling of the reservations to Native residents. Those residents who enjoy the rural lifestyle and/or isolation of the Northern Cheyenne and Crow reservations would experience a decrease in the quality of life. Spiritual and cultural impacts would affect both tribes. Cultural and archaeological sites would be disrupted. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Coal Leasing Amendments Act of 1976 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements, see 81-0674D, Volume 5, Number 9, and 82-0096F, Volume 6, Number 2, respectively.

T1  - WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CALIENTE RESOURCE AREA, NEVADA.
AN  - 36401679; 2299
AB  - PURPOSE: Wilderness designation is proposed for five Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs) totaling 588,423 acres in the Caliente Resource Area in southern Lincoln and northeastern Clark counties, Nevada. The preferred alternative would recommend the following land as suitable for wilderness designation: 28,395 acres within the 28,600-acre South Pahroc Range WSA; 84,165 acres within the 84,935-acre Clover Mountains WSA; 97,180 acres within the 185,744-acre Meadow Valley Range WSA; 123,130 acres within the 162,887-acre Mormon Mountains WSA; and none of the 126,257-acre Delmar Mountains WSA. A total of 332,870 acres would be designated as wilderness. Acreage to be designated as wilderness constitutes 10 percent of the Caliente Resource Area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation would preserve primitive recreational opportunities, wilderness values, and wildlife habitat within designated areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mineral production potential would be eliminated from those portions of the four WSAs designated as wilderness. Management activities geared to habitat manipulation, range improvement, and recreational site development would be limited or eliminated altogether. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 84-0481D, Volume 8, Number 10.

T1  - JACKS CREEK WILDERNESS, OWYHEE COUNTY, IDAHO.
AN  - 36398816; 2297
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan for 175,627 acres of public lands in southwestern Idaho's Owyhee County is proposed. Seven wilderness study areas, located 60 to 100 miles south of Boise, Idaho are involved. The lands also include 1,030 acres of non-WSA public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management and a 640-acre state inholding. The seven WSAs are the 58,040-acre Little Jacks Creek WSA, 10,005-acre Duncan Creek WSA, 54,833-acre Big Jacks Creek WSA, 24,509-acre Pole Creek WSA, 11,680-acre Sheep Creek West WSA, 5,050-acre Sheep Creek East WSA, and 11,510-acre Upper Deep Creek WSA. The proposed action would involve recommendation for inclusion in the National Wilderness System of 34,000 acres within the Little Jacks Creeks WSA, 9,400 acres within the Duncan Creek WSA, 44,525 acres within the Big Jacks Creek WSA, and the entire Sheep Creek West WSA. The Pole Creek, Sheep Creek East, and Upper Deep Creek WSAs would be designated as nonsuitable for inclusion in the national system. Five major topics were addressed in the formulation of the proposed action and alternatives; these topics included wilderness values, recreational resources and use, the Jacks Creek Livestock Watering Pipeline Extensions, wildlife species impacts, and socioeconomic impacts, with particular reference to employment and income. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Visitor supervision and the permit systems would insulate bighorn sheep from increased disturbance due to recreational uses and other human activities, minimizing probable loss of habitat. Wildlife generally would benefit from proposed seedings and pipelines. Fish habitat condition and production would improve within a significant portion of the stream mileage within the areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: In areas designated nonsuitable for wilderness designation, grass reseeding, livestock watering pipelines, and firewood cutting would eliminate basic wilderness characteristics. Pipeline construction and firewood cutting would also degrade scenic quality. Recreation use would increase substantially, escalating vandalism affecting archaeological sites in the Little Jacks Creek, Pole Creek, and Duncan Creek WSAs. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - USPCI CLIVE INCINERATION FACILITY, TOOELE COUNTY, UTAH.
AN  - 36390933; 2334
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of a facility for the transfer, storage, and incineration of hazardous, nonhazardous industrial, and infectious wastes in Tooele County, Utah are proposed. The proposed Clive project site is located on private land south of Interstate 80, approximately 37 miles northwest of Grantsville. More specifically, the Clive site is located in T.1S, R.12W, Sec 36. The permit applicant, USPCI, Incorporated, a wholly owned subsidiary of Union Pacific Corporation, has applied for proposed land exchanges and rights-of-way across federal land for access and utilities to the proposed site. A land exchange of 3,760 acres would be involved in the proposed action. The treatment facility would occupy approximately 45 acres of the 640-acre site. Facility construction would entail clearing and grading of the 45 acres and construction of an office/laboratory complex, a maintenance building, bulk solid waste storage and processing units, containerized waste storage and processing units, waste fuel and pumpable sludge tank storage, aqueous waste storage, and an incineration and air pollution control system consisting of two rotary kilns, a secondary combustion chamber, a quench chamber, a spray dryer/absorber, a baghouse, a wet scrubber and stack, incinerator residue storage and loadout units, and an auxiliary building to house equipment for water treatment and other plant utility services, such as compressed air. The incinerator would be designed to destruct thermally both hazardous chemical waste materials, as defined under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and toxic chemical waste materials as defined under the Toxic Substances Control Act. The facility would incinerate up to 130,000 tons of wastes per year. The transfer and storage area would operate 365 days per year, 24 hours per day. While the actual facility would be constructed on private land, the transportation and utility corridors would cross federal land administered by the Bureau of Land Management. Offsite facilities, for which rights-of-way would be required, would include upgrading of 9.1 miles of existing transmission line from the Aragonite exit, construction of a 46-kilovolt electrical tap extending 3.1 miles from the junction located north of I-80, installation of a 10-mile water pipeline from the foothills of the Cedar Mountains, and construction of 4.1 miles of access road and a 2.3 mile rail spur. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the facility would help incinerate the hazardous waste produced by United States industries, which generated an estimated 266 million metric tons of such waste in 1983; the annual total is expected to expand to 280 million tons by 1990. The facility would be designed to accept contaminated oils and solids and sludge residues from manufacturing processes and dispose of them by carefully controlled, environmentally acceptable incineration. The facility would be operated at a profit. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: If a spill was followed by a fire, the evacuation of bystanders could be required to prevent inhalation exposure to volatilized wastes and combustion products; however, the probability of a spill occurring at a sensitive location would be extremely low. Site, utility, and access rights-of-way clearing would result in long-term destruction of vegetation and associated wildlife habitat. LEGAL MANDATES: Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended (P.L. 96-510 and P.L. 99-499); Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.); Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.); Superfund Amendments Reauthorization Act of 1986; and Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 (P L. 94-469).

T1  - VALBOIS, THE RESORT AT CASCADE LAKE, VALLEY COUNTY, IDAHO.
AN  - 36390449; 2222
AB  - PURPOSE: Issuance of a Special Use Permit to Dennis Lee Taggart of Phoenix, Arizona for the development of a recreational resort at Cascade Lake within the Boise National Forest and Valley County, Idaho is proposed. The site lies on the west side of Cascade Reservoir near the town of Cascade. The mountain range is known as West Mountain and the major drainage is Poison Creek. More specifically, the site location is Township 15 North, Range 2 East, Sections 1, 11, 12, 13, and 14, and in Township 15 North, Range 3 East, Sections 5, 6, 17, and 18. The recreational resort would occupy 2,800 acres of National Forest System lands and 120 acres of lands administered by the Bureau of Reclamation. The site would also include 578 acres of development on private lands. The resort would include alpine skiing facilities consisting of seven lift lines with associated ski runs, one gondola tram, two midslope lodges, and a resort lodge at Poison Lake. Water-oriented recreation and lakeside camping facilities would be constructed on lands administered by the Bureau of Reclamation. This latter development would consist of a hotel /restaurant, a 250-slip marina, a tackle shop, and a recreational vehicle park designed to facilitate swimming, boating, fishing, water skiing, and wind surfing. Facilities for providing fuel and services to public boaters and recreational vehicles would be provided. Development on private lands would consist mainly of facilities and infrastructure for dwelling units, both private and commercial. Restaurants, retail shops, a general store, a chapel, a ski lodge, and a maintenance shop and service center would also be part of the proposed development. Facilities for tennis, swimming, equestrian activities, golf, nordic skiing, and ice skating would be developed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing for regional winter and summer recreational needs, the development would boost the local economy and provide additional employment in the area. Permit activities would adhere to the 1975 forest management plan for the Boise National Forest. If the project should result in the development of a community sewage treatment facility, water quality within Cascade Reservoir and receiving waters could be improved. Revenue generated by the resort via taxation and off-resort sources for Valley County would amount to $2.9 million per year. Land values in the vicinity of the development would increase significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the marina would require removal of 75,000 cubic yards of dredge material between the high- and low-water levels. Operation of the site would generate significant levels of wastewater effluent as well as solid waste. Visitation would increase traffic levels on Highway 55, Valley County Road from Donnelly to Tamarack Falls, and the West Mountain Road from Tamarack Falls south to Cascade. School, hospital, and police services would be stressed by the additional developments, requiring the addition of 13 hospital beds, 32 teachers, 3 doctors, and 14 police personnel. The cost of additional services would be $2.1 million per year. Big game habitat, including habitat for black bear, elk, and deer, would decline. Waterfowl and shorebirds would be impacted by activities associated with the marina. Land uses would affect blue grouse breeding and rearing and five osprey nests along the western edge of the private lands. A bald eagle nest at the Poison Creek site would be abandoned due to human encroachment. Approximately 20,000 board feet of annual timber harvest would be foregone. Some recreational land use conflicts would occur, and the visual aesthetics of the area would be degraded somewhat. LEGAL MANDATES: National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

T1  - ROUTE 31 STUDY: JAMES RIVER CROSSING FROM ROUTE 10 TO ROUTE 5, CHARLES CITY, JAMES CITY, AND SURRY COUNTIES, VIRGINIA.
AN  - 36402695; 2255
AB  - PURPOSE: Improvement of the Route 31 crossing of the James River in Charles City, James City, and Surry counties, Virginia is proposed. The existing crossing is served by the Jamestown-Scotland Wharf Ferry System. Alternatives under consideration include improvement of ferry service, construction of bridge or tunnel crossings of the river, and construction of new or improved approach roadways. These alternatives would involve the construction of two-lane facilities to modern design standards and the use of portions of existing rights-of-way, as well as acquisition and development of new rights-of-way. Alternatives range in length from 6.7 to 9.2 miles. The improved ferry alternative would involve the addition of boats and scheduled trips. The current four-boat fleet would be expanded to six, and operations would be increased for the peak period from a two-boat to four-boat schedule at 15 minute intervals; a fifth boat would be added during future peak seasonal periods. Depending on the alternative chosen, project cost estimates range from $29.5 million for the improved ferry alternative to $352.0 million for the most expensive tunnel alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Current and future traffic service within the corridor served by Route 31 would be improved significantly. Permanent river crossing alternatives would increase access to commercial, cultural, educational, and employment centers in the Jamestown corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of a tunnel or a bridge would result in the displacement of up to one household. Land losses could include 34 to 46 acres of farmlands, including 22 to 36 acres of prime farmlands, 31 to 74 acres of forests, and 71 to 120 acres of terrestrial habitat. As many as six prehistoric sites and 12 historic sites could be affected by structural crossings of the river. Carbon monoxide levels would rise slightly should a structural crossing be chosen. Noise levels would exceed federal standards at as many as 12 households. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - PROPOSED PERMIT APPLICATION, BLACK MESA-KAYENTA MINE, NAVAJO AND HOPI INDIAN RESERVATIONS, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36390350; 2205
AB  - PURPOSE: Issuance of permits to consolidate all Peabody Coal Company-owned and -operated mining and mining-related activities within the Black Mesa-Kayenta mine in Arizona is proposed. The permits would allow for surface coal mining and reclamation activities during the life of the mine. Currently, the Black Mesa-Kayenta mine, located approximately 125 miles northeast of Flagstaff, and 10 miles southwest of Kayenta, Arizona, consists of two separate but adjacent mining operations. The two units are the Black Mesa mine, which produces approximately 5 million tons of coal per year, and the Kayenta mine, which produces approximately 7 million tons per year. The proposed life-of-operations permit area would cover 62,753.34 acres of Hopi and Navajo tribal lands. The applicant would produce 292 million tons of coal from the new disturbance area between 1986 and 2011. Mining and reclamation activities would continue through 2023 (the proposed life of the mine). The applicant has previously been awarded two permits to mine coal at the complex. Between 1970 and the end of 1985, mining activities disturbed 4,480 acres within these two permit areas. The proposed federal permit would encompass the previously issued permits under one permit, authorize the applicant to disturb an additional 13,618 acres throughout the remaining life of the mine, and to upgrade 114 of the existing mine-related facilities to meet current federal performance standards. Coal would continue to be extracted via the dragline and truck-and-shovel open-pit methods and would be processed using existing in-place facilities owned and operated by the applicant. Processed coal would be transported from the Black Mesa Mine to the Mohave Generating Station via an existing slurry pipeline and from the Kayenta Mine to the Navajo Generating Station via the existing Black Mesa and Lake Powell Railroad. POSITIVE IMPACTS: New activities, authorized under the permit, would result in the production of 292 million tons of coal between 1986 and 2011. The applicant, which employs 1,000 persons at the mine, would continue to provide employment to local residents; 90 percent of the current employees are Native Americans. Regional power needs would continue to be met. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Vegetative diversity would be impacted severely due to the conversion of 9,046 acres of pinyon-juniper woodlands and 4,485 acres of shrubland to grassland. Major socioeconomic impacts would occur to the Hopi Tribe's fiscal status and ability to provide human services over the long term. Mining activities would create fugitive dust, displace grazing land, and damage cultural resources. Outcrop and other topographic features characterizing the mine sites would be leveled, and sacred ceremonial sites could be degraded. Cropland within the area would be displaced, and formation of acid and other toxins would degrade soil quality and reduce the vegetative carrying capacity of the affected lands. Surface and groundwater levels could decline due to pumping of the N-aquifer. Wildlife habitat, including that of certain threatened or endangered species, could be affected. The population base of the Hopi and Navajo reservations could be changed. Regional transport and recreation facilities could be stressed.

T1  - NELLIS AIR FORCE RANGE RESOURCE PLAN, CLARK, NYE, AND LINCOLN COUNTIES, NEVADA.
AN  - 36390438; 2224
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan to manage approximately 2.2 million acres within the Nellis Air Force Range in Clark, Nye, and Lincoln counties in southern Nevada is proposed. The land has been withdrawn from military use and placed under the administration of the Bureau of Land Management. Issues identified as bases for formulation of alternative plans are associated with vegetation, wildlife habitat, wild horse and burro management, and cultural resources management. The preferred management regime would emphasize improvement or vegetative conditions on rangelands and wildlife habitat, with particular attention to wild horse populations. No new land uses would be proposed or authorized unless they contribute to improved range conditions. Existing use levels would be adjusted to provide for improved conditions. Specific management actions would include the development of activity plans for riparian areas; possible construction and maintenance of up to 50 miles of fence to exclude wild horses and livestock from management areas; allocation of all forage outside of the Nevada Wild Horse Range (NWHR) and the Bald Mountain grazing allotment to wildlife; allocation of 370 animal unit months of forage and all forage in the Nevada Wild Horse Range not allocated to wild horses to wildlife; provision of permanent water sources for wildlife on the NWHR and the Bald Mountain grazing allotment; construction and maintenance of up to 30 miles of fence to prevent livestock from drifting off the Bald Mountain allotment; relocation of animals to achieve appropriate management levels on the NWHR; improvement of water sources on the NWHR; removal of all burros from the planning area; construction of up to 125 miles of fence on the NWHR and up to 75 additional miles of fence to prevent the movement of wild horses and burros into the management areas; designation of the Timber Mountain Caldera National Natural Landmark as a visual resource management (VRM) interim class II area and the remainder of the planning area as a VRM interim class IV area; and designation of the portion of the Timber Mountain Caldera National Natural Landmark located within the planning area as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Existing wildlife and vegetative species diversities would be maintained, and riparian habitat would be improved and preserved. Wildlife habitat would be managed to ensure maximum benefit to wildlife, and threatened and endangered species would be protected. The population of wild, free-roaming horses would be maintained and prevented from straying off the NWHR. The visual integrity of the entire planning area and the natural aspect of the Timber Mountain Caldera would be preserved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Fence construction, if necessary, would result in unavoidable adverse impacts on up to 509 acres of vegetation and wildlife habitat. The wild horse population on the planning area would decrease by 4,000. Ecological conditions would be degraded to an early seral stage within a 0.25-mile radius of all water sources used by wild horses and livestock. LEGAL MANDATES: Military Lands Withdrawal Act of 1986, as amended (P.L. 99-606, P.L. 100-338).

T1  - DEATH VALLEY AND JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL MONUMENTS, CALIFORNIA: BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENTS.
AN  - 36399116; 2216
AB  - PURPOSE: Transfer of five parcels of land currently under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to the Joshua Tree and Death Valley National Monuments in California is proposed. The parcels include an 84,389-acre tract on the extreme northern end of Death Valley National Monument, a 26,687-acre tract encompassing Hunter Mountain on the western boundary of Death Valley National Monument, a 14,268-acre tract encompassing Pyramid Peak on the eastern boundary of Death Valley National Monument, a 117,505-acre tract encompassing Greenwater Valley on the eastern boundary of Death Valley National Monument just south of Pyramid Mountain, and a 4,480-acre tract encompassing Pinto Basin on the southern boundary of Joshua Tree National Monument. Approximately 24 percent of the land proposed for transfer is classified by BLM's California Desert Conservation Area Plan as either multiple use class M (moderate use; 38,000 acres) or class I (intensive use; 19,646 acres). The management of these lands after the transfer would not necessarily be in conformance with the Desert Plan. Issues addressed in considering the transfer include: (1) the effects on sensitive plant and wildlife species, particularly Desert Big Horn Sheep and plants in the Sand Spring Area of Critical Environmental Concern; (2) the continued viability of grazing operations, particularly on Hunter Mountain; (3) the future of BLM and National Park Service wild horse and burro management and removal programs; (4) the availability of Hunter Mountain to Native Americans for harvesting pinyon nuts; (5) the status of existing land use authorizations; (6) the capability of each agency to establish and maintain a field presence in the parcels; (7) future access to transferred parcels by motorized vehicles; (8) the effects of a change in the number of acres recommended for wilderness designation; and (9) the effect of transferring jurisdiction on future mineral development of the parcels. The BLM preferred alternative would involve transfer of the Hunter Mountain and Pinto Basin parcels to the National Park Service as proposed. The Greenwater Valley and Pyramid Peak parcels would also be transferred, but under modified conditions. The North Valley parcel would be transferred as proposed, except that mitigation measures would be undertaken. Modifications to the original proposal would exclude approximately 5,000 acres around the highly mineralized Crater area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Modification of the existing monument boundaries via the transfers would provide more manageable borders and borders that would not split ecological and topographic units. The manageability of the Death Valley National Monument and Hunter Mountain would improve significantly, and a more definite boundary would be established for the Death Valley National Monument. The entirety of the Red Amphitheater and Pyramid Peak would be brought within the monument. Transfer of the large Greenwater Valley Parcel would bring the entire Black Mountain watershed within the monument and would establish a readily identifiable road as the monument's eastern boundary. The Pinto Basin area, which is a proposed BLM wilderness, would be integrated with topographically related lands adjacent to the existing monument boundary. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some impacts could be experienced by motorized recreationists, horses and burros, range operators, and mineral developers. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Mining in the Parks Act of 1976 (P.L. 94-429).

T1  - RUBY A FEDERAL NO. 1-9 EXLORATORY OIL/GAS WELL DRILLING NEAR RED LODGE, CARBON COUNTY, MONTANA.
AN  - 36398519; 2207
AB  - PURPOSE: Drilling of an exploratory oil/gas well on the Custer National Forest near Red Lodge, Montana is proposed by Phillips Petroleum Company. The project would involve directional drilling of a 12,520-foot exploratory well on the Beartooth Ranger District in Carbon County. The drilling site would lie in the Ruby Creek drainage, a tributary to Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River. More specifically, the drill site is located in the NW1/4 NW1/4 Sec 15, T9S, R20E. Access to the proposed site would involve 4.3 miles of Montana State Highway 72 south from Belfry, Montana to Grove Creek Road, an existing county road. From this point, access would head west towards the drill site, using five miles of Grove Creek Road and approximately eight miles of existing unimproved ""two-track'' roads to the Custer National Forest boundary. Access to the forest boundary would traverse lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management and land under private ownership. From the forest boundary, access would be via unimproved two-track road. To reach the drill site from this point, 0.3 miles of new road would be constructed. Phillips proposes to construct a 1.7-acre drill pad. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The well would provide information on the potential of the area for economical extraction of oil and gas from subsurface reserves located within the area. Drilling and roading activities would increase the local employment pool slightly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Disturbance associated with this alternative would affect 21.3 acres for road reconstruction, 1.5 acres for new road construction, 1.7 acres for the drill pad, and 0.8 acres of cut and fill slopes and topsoil stockpiles associated with the drill site. Total area disturbed would be 25.3 acres. Road construction and reconstruction could increase erosion and sedimentation of Ruby and Gold creeks and would result in disturbances of vegetation, timber, and range resources, as well as associated wildlife habitat and visual and recreation resources. Recreation-related industries could be adversely affected. LEGAL MANDATES: Antiquities Act of 1906 (16 U.S.C. 431 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

T1  - WHITE SANDS RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT FOR MCGREGOR RANGE, OTERO COUNTY, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36405229; 2226
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for 608,385 acres of withdrawn public land within the McGregor Range in Otero County, south-central New Mexico is proposed. The land was withdrawn for military purposes under 1986 legislation. The preferred management plan would place the highest priority on making public land and resources available for use and development by the public. Land management would allow federal agency issuance of all public demand nonmilitary leases, easements, rights-of-way, and other authorizations only after consultation with the U.S. Army. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) would be the lead agency for projects involving both withdrawn and Army acquired lands. BLM would issue grants on withdrawn land, while the Army would issue grants on acquired land. Locatable minerals would be closed, although such closures would be reevaluated every five years. BLM would issue oil, gas, and geothermal leases on 100,000 acres. Salable materials disposal would be conducted for materials on 287,360 acres. Other actions include development of watershed plans for 48,200 acres; assessment of areas for possible prescribed burning activities (220,800 acres) to improve rangelands; designation of four vegetation study sites as Areas of Critical Environmental Concern; designation of 20,940 acres for vegetation sales areas; reservation of forage for wildlife outside livestock grazing areas; revision of the habitat management plan's development of a Tularosa Basin habitat management plan; authorization of predator control; establishment of a Sikes Act Stamp Program on McGregor Range; implementation of a hunting management plan; limitation of off-road vehicle use to designated roads and trails; fencing of Escondida Pueblo to exclude livestock and prevent entry of other potential surface disturbing agents; and issuances of cultural research permits. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Watershed conditions, including soil stability, would improve substantially. Vegetation studies would produce valuable information concerning black grama grasslands. Rangeland burning would result in more vigorous and palatable species for livestock consumption. Predation of livestock would be controlled. Wildlife habitat in the Tularosa Basin would improve significantly. Visual, cultural, and recreational resources would be protected from damage related to surface disturbance from off-road vehicle use and other such activities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Restrictions could place hardships on mineral extraction and geothermal interests. Prescribed burning would result in some short-term reduction in vegetation mass and localized, short-term degradation of air quality. Oil, gas, and geothermal development would result in soil and geologic disturbances; some loss of range resources and endangered species' habitat would be expected. Fencing would restrict access to the Escondida Site. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Military Lands Withdrawal Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-606), and Sikes Act of 1960 (P.L. 86-797).

T1  - Archeology in the Classroom: A Case Study From Arizona. Archeological Assistance Program Technical Brief No. 4.
AN  - 63031476; ED320847
AB  - The federal archeological community views public outreach programs as necessary for the continued preservation of archeological resources. This technical brief outlines ways to have archeology programs in the public schools. The efforts of the Arizona Archeological Council (AAC) to place archeological concepts and values within the context of the classroom by organizing an Archaeology for the Schools Committee in 1985 are recounted. Specifically, this brief describes the goals and motivations of the AAC's schools committee; summarizes what they learned about the "ethnography" of the Arizona school system; and highlights a strategy to get teachers to not teach archeology as much as they teach with archeology. A list of additional readings and curriculum materials is included. (DB)

T1  - DIAMOND FORK POWER SYSTEM, BONNEVILLE UNIT, CENTRAL UTAH PROJECT (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 1984).
AN  - 36382819; 2208
AB  - PURPOSE: Development of a power system, to be known as the Diamond Fork Power System, is proposed as a component of interrelated systems in the Central Utah Project's Bonneville Unit. The Diamond Fork System, in north-central Utah, would effect a transbasin diversion of water from the Uinta Basin of the Upper Colorado River Basin to the Bonneville Basin of the Great Basin. Most of the system facilities would lie within Utah County, but a small portion at the upper end of the project's structures would be in Wasatch County. The system would be constructed in the Diamond Fork and Sixth Water drainages in the Uinta National Forest of the Wasatch Mountain range. Sixth Water is a tributary of Diamond Fork, which is a tributary of the Spanish Fork River. The transbasin diversion would provide water for the Municipal and Industrial System of the Bonneville Unit and for supplemental irrigation service in the Spanish Fork area of south Utah County. Water would also be provided for the Irrigation and Drainage System of the Bonneville Unit. The transbasin diversion would descend from the enlarged Strawberry Reservoir in the Uinta Basin to the confluence of Diamond Fork and the Spanish Fork River in the Bonneville Basin through a system of tunnels, pipelines, and a powerplant. The system would facilitate an annual average transbasin diversion of between 101,600 acre-feet and 142,500 acre-feet of Bonneville Unit water and 56,700 acre-feet of Strawberry Valley Project water from the Uinta Basin to the Bonneville Basin. This supplement to the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) of October 1984 discusses the proposed reduction in the size of the power system design. Changes in the market situation make the plan submitted in the FEIS no longer practical. Three alternatives presented in this supplement would provide from 68.5 to 70.0 megawatts (MW) of installed generating capacity compared to the 166.2-MW system described in the FEIS. From 3.0 to 18.0 MW would be needed to meet the requirements of the Bonneville Unit, depending on the alternative selected. Facilities added to the FEIS plan under the new plan would result in the development of the Syar Powerplant and Dam, Corona Aqueduct, Sixth Water Powerplant and Dam, and Dyne Aqueduct and Powerplant. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of water and energy sources through the plan would fulfill the project objectives of supplying immediate and projected needs for the rapidly growing population along the Wasatch Front. Some project energy would be used to pump water for the Central Utah Project, while the remainder would be marketed for commercial use throughout the Colorado River Storage Project marketing area. In addition to providing water and power, the system would open up recreational and fishing opportunities in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project development would destroy 98 to 447 acres of vegetation permanently and 23 to 169 acres of vegetation temporarily. Maximum stream flows in Sixth Water Creek and Diamond Fork between Last Chance Powerplant and Monks Hollow Reservoir would be moderately to significantly less than under the 1984 FEIS plan. Water temperature stratification within the Strawberry Reservoir would be altered. Habitat, including that of endangered species, would be displaced, and grazing capacity in the area would decline; the cost to grazing permittees would increase. LEGAL MANDATES: Colorado River Storage Project Act of 1956 (70 Stat. 105), Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - AB LATERAL HYDROPOWER FACILITY, UNCOMPAHGRE VALLEY HYDROPOWER PROJECT, MONTROSE AND DELTA COUNTIES, COLORADO.
AN  - 36407827; 2146
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of a hydropower project within the Uncompahgre Valley Reclamation Project (UVRP) in Montrose and Delta counties, Colorado are proposed. The project lies along the western flank of the Rocky Mountains, with elevations ranging from 4,950 feet to 6,500 feet above sea level. The Bureau of Reclamation, which administers the Uncompahgre irrigation project, is considering executing a lease of power privilege (contract) with a private company to permit the use of federal facilities for this project. The new facilities, which would be located in Montrose County, would be funded, built, and used by the Uncompahgre Valley Water Users Association (UVWUA) and Montrose Partners. Alternatives under consideration would provide for additional diversions of water from the Gunnison River through the existing Gunnison Tunnel to a penstock and power plant near Montrose, Colorado. The tunnel empties into the Uncompahgre River. The large difference in elevations between the inlet of the tunnel at the Gunnison River and its outlet at the Uncompahgre River creates the potential for hydropower production. A portion of the flows that would be diverted would be used for power generation, while the remainder would be used for irrigation. Power from the proposed facility would be sold to local utilities. For the initial 15 years of project operation, capacity and energy would be sold to the Public Service Company of Colorado; after that period, a different power sales agreement would be arranged. Four alternatives are under consideration. Variations across alternatives would largely involve the volume of enlargements of the lateral leading to the penstock, capacity of the penstock and turbine, and amounts of water diverted during specific periods. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The energy potential of water flows from the Gunnison River through the Gunnison Tunnel to the Uncompahgre River would be developed for economic uses. The existing irrigation system of the UVRP would be improved substantially, and UVWUA revenues for debt retirement and system improvement would be enhanced. Flows along some stretches of the Uncompahgre River would be increased; employment opportunities within the Montrose-Delta area would be diversified; and recreational opportunities along the Gunnison River would increase. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Diversions from the Gunnison River would increase, with the greatest increase occurring during the nonirrigation season. On an annual basis, the volume of water in the Gunnison River downstream of the tunnel would decline by 41 to 49 percent. Flows in the Uncompahgre River would decrease along some stretches. Between the North Fork confluence and Delta, the Gunnison River would become narrower. Approximately 234 acres of land, including 12 acres of wetlands, would be affected due to facilities construction. Permanent land use changes would occur on only 30 of the 127 acres needed for operation of the hydropower facility. A total of 24 acres of grazing land would be displaced. Less than one percent of the total known population of the endangered clay-loving wild buckwheat would be eliminated during construction. Changes in river flows and accompanying ice conditions could affect use of the Gunnison River by bald eagles. LEGAL MANDATES: Public Law 76-698.

T1  - COLORADO RIVER WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, McELMO CREEK SALINITY CONTROL UNIT, MONTEZUMA COUNTY, COLORADO (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MARCH 1988).
AN  - 36399724; 2265
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of irrigation water delivery and management improvements within the McElmo Creek Salinity Control Unit of the Colorado River Basin is proposed. The unit lies in Montezuma County, Colorado. The study area is located in the southwestern corner of the state between prominent physiographic features such as Mesa Verde, rising to an elevation of approximately 8,400 feet on the southeast; Ute Mountain, rising to approximately 10,000 feet on the southwest; and the Dolores River Canyon to the northeast. The improvement plan would involve installation of sprinkler irrigation systems operating with gravity and pumped pressure on 19,700 acres of irrigated land. The off-farm group ditches would be placed in pipe to preserve gravity pressure for 10,400 acres, and pumps would be added at the farm to develop sufficient pressure to operate sprinklers for the 9,300 acres being converted to sprinkler irrigation. Pipelines, gated pipe, or ditch lining would be installed to reduce ditch seepage from 1,850 acres of irrigated land not converted to sprinklers. The estimated cost of the project is $26.15 million; this amount includes $20.3 million for on-farm improvements, $4.07 million for administrative and technical assistance, and $1.8 million for education and evaluation. After the recommended plan is fully implemented, the annual local cost for operation, maintenance, and replacement is estimated at $151,100. The capitalized annual cost including operation, maintenance, and replacement is estimated at $4.09 million. Capitalized annual benefits are estimated at $4.99 million, for a capitalized annual net benefit of $905,300. This draft supplement to the draft environmental impact statement of March 1988 on the improvement program provides information from a salinity control study. The scope of the study was limited to inventorying and analyzing current irrigation systems and practices on a sample of the irrigated land and off-farm group ditches. Results of these analyses were expanded to be representative of the approximately 29,100 acres of irrigated land and approximately 235 miles of off-farm group ditches in the Montezuma Valley. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan measures would decrease salt delivered to the Colorado River from McElmo Creek from 60,000 tons per year to 22,000 tons per year. Salinity concentrations at the Imperial Dam would be reduced 3.5 milligrams per liter. Local benefits resulting from these improvements would be reflected in a reduced cost of production, improved irrigation systems, and increased crop yields. Capitalized annual benefits from the project would amount to $3.7 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 615 of the 4,254 acres of wetlands in the project area would be impacted by project measures. Wetlands resulted largely from the introduction of irrigation to the area approximately 75 years ago. As irrigation systems are made more efficient, water seepage that feeds these wetlands would be reduced, and the wetlands would be converted to more xeric forms. LEGAL MANDATES: Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-320), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Soil Conservation Act of 1935 (P.L. 46).

T1  - WESTLANDS WATER DISTRICT WATER SUPPLY REPLACEMENT PROJECT, SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY, FRESNO, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36405774; 2189
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan to relieve the current irrigation water shortfall within the Westlands Water District (WWD) along the west side of San Joaquin Valley in California is proposed. The 567,000-acre WWD is located west of the city of Fresno. Irrigated agriculture in the area began in the early part of the century. Groundwater pumped from a deep, confined aquifer was the source. The extensive use of groundwater led to overdraft of the aquifer, resulting in declining water quality and land subsidence. More recently, most of the irrigation water used in the WWD has been surface water purchased from the Bureau of Reclamation. The water is developed, stored, and conveyed via Central Valley Project facilities. Due to changing water availability, farmers within the WWD face a shortfall in the quantity of water historically available for irrigated crops. Six alternatives for dealing with this problem are under consideration. Alternative 1 would involve operating the Tracy Pumping Plant at its capacity of 4,600 cubic feet per second (cfs), allowing it to bypass a low-capacity portion of the Delta-Mendota Canal (DMC) connection to the California Aqueduct (CA) and creating an intertie that would connect mile post 7.0 of the DMC with mile post 9.0 of the CA. Alternative 2 would involve expanding a water conservation program that monitors water use and recommends new or modified irrigation techniques. Alternative 3 would implement a district-operated groundwater system that would allow the WWD to operate a series of wells to generate approximately 125,000 acre-feet of water. The cost of groundwater pumping would be from $60 to $70 per acre-foot. Alternative 4 would involve interdistrict water transfers, requiring the purchase of water from other uses and transporting the purchased water in available conveyance facilities. Alternative 5 would involve intradistrict water transfers generating approximately 130,000 acre-feet. This alternative would involve leasing or purchasing 50,000 acres of land within one WWD subdivision for transfer to a second subdivision, resulting in a cost of $100 per acre-foot. Alternative 6 would combine several of the above alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Project implementation would replace the irrigation water shortfall in the WWD, maintaining lands historically in agricultural production. Revenue to the Bureau of Reclamation would be increased under Alternative 1. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Several alternatives or the occurrence of the worst-case scenario relative to groundwater pumping could reduce the total amount of deep percolation from irrigation. Seismic activity in the area could affect implementation and operation of Alternative 1, and Alternative 1 could result in degradation of aquatic biology. Water quality and supply, drainage, visual aesthetics, and land use could be negatively impacted. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990.

T1  - GARY MARINA, LAKE COUNTY, INDIANA.
AN  - 36382578; 2163
AB  - PURPOSE: Development of a marina on Lake Michigan in the city of Gary, Lake County, 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 1,100-slip marina would be accessed via a new road constructed on the existing roadbed of the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad. 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. 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. Construction would be phased between 1992 and 2004. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Marina development would meet the regional demand for recreational boating and lakefront facilities for public use in the city of 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. 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.

T1  - WASTE ISOLATION PILOT PLANT (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 1980).
AN  - 36407483; 2186
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan for a demonstration project for the safe disposal of radioactive transuranic wastes resulting from Department of Energy (DOE) activities related to national defense is proposed. This draft supplement to the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) of October 1980 addresses the upshot of new geological and hydrological information leading to changes in the understanding of the hydrogeological characteristics of the proposed 18,960-acre Los Medanos waste isolation pilot plant site (WIPP) located in Eddy County in southeastern New Mexico. In addition, there have been changes in the information and assumptions used to analyze the environmental impacts in the FEIS. These changes include: (1) analyses of certain additional DOE generator and/or storage sites as potential contributors to the WIPP waste inventory; (2) changes in the composition of the transuranic waste inventory; (3) consideration of the hazardous chemical constituents in transuranic wastes; (4) modification and refinement of the system for transportation of wastes to the WIPP; and (5) addition of a test phase. The proposed action would involve operation of the WIPP under a test phase program for approximately five years, during which certain tests and operational demonstrations would be conducted. The tests would be conducted to reduce uncertainties associated with the prediction of natural processes that could affect the long-term performance of the underground waste repository. Results of these tests would be used to assess the ability of the WIPP to meet applicable federal standards for the long-term protection of the public and the environment. The operational demonstrations would be conducted to show the ability of the waste management system to certify, package, transport, and emplace transuranic waste in the WIPP safely and efficiently. Upon completion of the test phase, DOE would determine whether the WIPP could comply with federal standards for long-term disposal of transuranic wastes. If there were a determination of compliance with appropriate federal standards, the WIPP would enter into a permanent disposal phase of approximately 20 years. After completion of waste emplacement, the surface facilities would be decommissioned, and WIPP underground facilities would serve as a permanent radioactive waste repository. 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. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: 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. Construction would disturb wildlife and could result in the destruction of archaeological resources. LEGAL MANDATES: Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.), Clean Air Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 1857 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965, as amended (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.).

T1  - GEORGIA PROJECT MLP-813(1): RELOCATION OF EXISTING U.S. 27 ON NEW LOCATION NEAR COUNTY ROAD 144 AND S.R. 2, WALKER AND CATOOSA COUNTIES, GEORGIA.
AN  - 36402336; 2170
AB  - PURPOSE: Relocation of U.S. 27 to a corridor outside the western boundary of the Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Military Park in Walker and Catoosa counties, Georgia is proposed. The new facility would extend northward 5.1 miles from a point on U.S. 27 near County Road 144 to the intersection of State Route (S.R.) 27 and U.S. 27. The typical cross-section would feature four 12-foot travel lanes, separated by a 44-foot-wide grassed median within an overall rights-of-way width of 200 to 400 feet. S.R. 2 would be intersected via a trumpet interchange. Three alternative alignments are under consideration. All alternatives would follow a common alignment from existing U.S. 27 to a point approximately 150 feet north of the proposed crossing of Long Hollow Road. All alternatives would intersect most local streets at-grade. Overpasses would be provided at two crossings of the Central of Georgia Railroad and at the crossing of Old S.R. 2 (McFarland Gap Road). Access would be provided to and from McFarland Gap Road via a short access road. Regardless of the alternative chosen, a short relocation of Long Hollow Road would be required to provide a more efficient intersection with the proposed highway. Little Road/County Route 297 would be relocated to pass under the bypass highway to avoid the need to redirect current neighborhood traffic patterns. The estimated cost of the project is $30.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Removal of the facility from the park would reduce travel time and improve vehicle efficiency for commuters and local users. Access for emergency vehicles would improve significantly along the project corridor. Economic activity along the new corridor could be boosted, depending on local zoning regulations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: One wetland site would be impacted, and approximately 60 acres of farmlands would be displaced. Some build alternatives would require the use of land from the Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Military Park. Rights-of-way requirements would result in displacement of 36 to 80 owner-occupied residential units and 2 to 3 tenant-occupied units. Depending on the alternative chosen, noise levels would exceed federal standards at 17 to 20 residences, and 74 to 88 sites would be affected by substantial increases in noise levels. The facility would bypass the business area of Fort Oglethorpe, resulting in the loss of commerce. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966 (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq). Executive Order 11990, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - MINING IN WRANGELL-ST. ELIAS NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERVE, ALASKA.
AN  - 36398089; 2154
AB  - PURPOSE: Multiple mining operations in the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve of Alaska are assessed. The assessment is required by the U.S. District Court's (District of Alaska) final judgment and injunction of March 3, 1988 (Civil Case J85-009). Currently, 457 unpatented and 466 patented mining claims are recorded within the park/preserve. Under the proposed action, mining proposals would be reviewed using a quantitative evaluation of cumulative impacts and resource protection goals. More specifically, the evaluations would be directed at mining activities in the Kantishna Hills study area of the park and preserve. This action coincides with the need to evaluate the minerals management programs in the Yukon-Charley Rivers and Denali National Park System (NPS) units to provide for adequate resource management and protection. Issues identified during the scoping analysis include hydrologic changes, fisheries habitat, fishes, water quality, impacts on wetlands, aquatic ecosystem integrity, long- and short-term impacts, nonmining usage of patented claims, reclamation, wildlife habitat (grizzly bear, moose, Dall sheep, caribou, and wolves), threatened and endangered species, criteria for cumulative effects analyses, impact thresholds, magnitude of impacts, economic impacts, access, impacts of access, subsistence activities, heavy metals contamination, abandoned mine lands, impacts on scenic values, administrative costs for mining claims, acquisition costs of mining properties, and wilderness values. For purposes of analysis, a probable mineral development scenario was developed and applied for each alternative scheme to project environmental impacts. The scenario predicts where and to what extent future mining activity might reasonably occur in the park over the next 10 years. The scenario does not represent an NPS proposal, nor does it suggest levels of mining activity acceptable to NPS. Under the proposed scheme, NPS would review plans of operations on a comprehensive basis and prepare environmental documents. Target resources would be identified and used as the focal points for evaluating the effects of proposed mining activity. Determinations of site-specific and cumulative mining impacts would be made quantitatively where adequate resource information was available, using resource protection goals as one evaluative tool. Resource protection goals would be established for aquatic resources, grizzly bear habitat, moose habitat, Dall sheep habitat, and caribou habitat. If the resource protection goal for any target resource could not be met because of the potential effects of a proposed mining operation, that proposal could be denied unless mitigation could reduce the magnitude of the effects within the resource protection goal or otherwise protect resource values, or unless other circumstances would justify approval. Resource protection goals would not be established initially for wetlands, wolves, visual quality, subsistence activities, recreation, wilderness values, the local economy, and cultural resources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities would contribute to local, regional, and national economies and help the nation maintain its self-sufficiency in mineral resource availability. Environmental requirements associated with analyses would prevent extensive damage to target resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some impacts would be expected from surface mining activities. Claims taken to patent would not be protected from disruptive, and potentially damaging, nonmining uses. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487), Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, General Mining Law of 1872, as amended (30 U.S.C. 21 et seq.), and Mining in the Parks Act of 1976 (P.L. 94-429).

T1  - Applied Atmospheric Resources Research Program in Thailand
AN  - 19096470; 9004260
AB  - The Royal Thai Government requested assistance of the US Agency for International Development for the development and implementation of a more comprehensive scientific approach to the design, operation, and evaluation of Thailand 's weather modification program. Upon visiting Thailand, a team of American scientists recommended a 5-yr developmental program to improve Thai technical capabilities through training, additional equipment, and a demonstration cloud seeding project. A core training course was conducted in Thailand in early 1988. A study of the scientific concepts underlying the Thailand program was performed using one-, two-, and three-dimensional cloud models, some adjusted to simulate cloud seeding to test various cloud treatment scenarios for the demonstration program. This program will test for an increase in rainfall from: (1) warm clouds seeded with hygroscopic agents, and (2) cold clouds seeded for dynamic effects with glaciogenic materials. Cloud model runs produced encouraging results for both cloud types, so a preliminary design has been developed for the demonstration project. The field program will be conducted in the Nam Mae Tun River Watershed of western Thailand. Field equipment and support will include cloud seeding aircraft, a 10-cm Doppler radar with dual polarization, an operations center for weather forecasting and monitoring, and a rain gauge network. A randomized crossover design is proposed with the experimental unit, the assemblage of clouds affecting a randomly selected target area over 3 hrs. The primary response variable is rainfall measured by rain-gauge adjusted radar. Analyses indicate that rainfall occurs on about 90 days/wet season and, if seeding yields 10% increases, about 90 experimental units are required per stratification to achieve a 90% probability of detection at a significance level of 0.05. Given equal numbers of warm and cold cloud units and typical operations problems and weather variability at least four seasons of field experimentation are required. (Author 's abstract)

T1  - DOLORES PROJECT, MONTEZUMA AND DOLORES COUNTIES, COLORADO (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1977).
AN  - 36401855; 2190
AB  - PURPOSE: Diversion of water from the Dolores River to the San Juan River basin in Montezuma and Dolores counties in southwest Colorado is proposed. As originally proposed in the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) of May 1977, the project would involve the McPhee Reservoir on the Dolores River, the smaller Monument Creek and Dawson Draw reservoirs in the San Juan River basin, and two major conveyance systems. An average of 126,000 acre-feet of water would be developed annually for irrigation of 26,300 acres of supplemental service land and 35,360 acres of full service land for municipal and industrial uses and fish and wildlife enhancement. A portion of the water would be supplied to the Ute Indian Reservation on Ute Mountain. The project also would include recreation facilities and the acquisition and development of land for wildlife habitat. A May 1981 report found no significant impacts for the addition of two hydroelectric power plants to the project facilities; the plants would be located at McPhee and Towaoc. This final supplement to the FEIS describes modifications to the project design since the publication of the FEIS. Modifications covered include the addition of salinity control features and changing the alignment of the Towaoc Canal, a portion of one of the conveyance systems, from west of Cortez to east of the city. Both of these modifications would affect the McElmo Creek drainage. Salinity control features would include lining sections of the Lone Pine and Upper Hermana irrigation laterals to prevent seepage; abandoning the Rocky Ford Ditch and incorporating its flows into the new alignment of the Towaoc Canal; abandoning the Lower Hermana Lateral and Highline Ditch and including their flows, along with those of the Ute Mountain irrigation project water supply, in the Towaoc Canal; and constructing eight buried pipe laterals from the Towaoc Canal to the Rocky Ford Ditch service area. Other refinements to the FEIS project plan, not covered in this supplement, include deletion of the Monument Reservoir component as well as the Cortez-to-Towaoc Municipal and Industrial Pipeline components of the plan; combining the capacities of two pumping plants into one plant near Dove Creek; constructing a delivery pumping plant near Cahone to allow for reduction of the project pipe size; increasing the capacities of the McPhee and Towaoc powerplants; and improving the operation, maintenance, and replacement of the project by the installation of a computerized system. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Water supplied by the project would increase agricultural production in the San Juan River basin. The municipal and industrial water provided would satisfy present needs and permit moderate future growth in the area. McPhee Dam would provide flood protection for downstream landowners. Snow-melt floods on the Dolores River would be controlled. Fishery release from McPhee Dam would create stream fishery habitat with good public accessibility along the 11 miles of the Dolores River immediately below the dam. Project reservoirs and recreation areas would provide a variety of new recreational opportunities for the public. Land acquired and managed for wildlife would create valuable and unthreatened habitat for a variety of species. Salt pickup from the McElmo Creek drainage, which has resulted in deterioration of the water quality of the Colorado River, would decline significantly. Employment and other economic indicators within the affected counties would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some types of wildlife habitat would be lost due to project structures and operations covered in the supplemental statement. Dryland cover types would decline due to expansion of urban areas. Approximately 89 acres of wetlands dependent on seepage would be lost due to channel lining. Lining of the Towaoc Canal would create a hazard for wildlife attempting to cross it. A total of 129 recorded cultural resource sites would be destroyed or damaged by construction of salinity control facilities. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990 and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the final and draft supplemental environmental impact statements, see 77-0839F, Volume 1, Number 8, and 88-0114D, Volume 12, Number 3-4, respectively.

T1  - PROPOSED WILDERNESS PROGRAM FOR THE ARIZONA MOHAVE WILDERNESS AREAS, ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36408467; 2160
AB  - PURPOSE: Designation of 202,210 acres as wilderness within the Arizona Mohave Wilderness Areas of the Phoenix and Safford districts of Arizona and New Mexico is proposed. The wilderness study areas (WSAs), which include 74,254 acres that would be returned to nonwilderness resource uses, lie in Greenlee, Maricopa, Mohave, Pima, Pinal, and Yavapai counties, Arizona and Grant County, New Mexico. Decisions concerning wilderness or nonwilderness designation would be made for the following WSAs: Van Deeman, Mockingbird, Black Mountains North, Burns Spring, Mount Tipton, Grapevine Wash, Grand Wash Cliffs, Mount Davis, Mount Nutt, Warm Springs, South Bradshaws East, Sierra Estrella, Ragged Top, Apache Box, and Hoverrocker. Management plans for the WSAs, which would cover resource actions taking place within each area over the next 25 years, would involve management of minerals, wilderness resources, other land uses, rangeland development, recreational uses, cultural resources, and wildlife habitat and populations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values in a majority of the 15 WSAs under consideration would be preserved for present and future generations, while nonwilderness resource development would improve the regional economy. Wildlife and domestic cattle would be accommodated by the WSA plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mineral development in those areas where wilderness designation is not approved would degrade their pristine nature, devalue or displace recreational uses, destroy wildlife habitat and vegetation, and alter topography. Cultural sites in nondesignated WSAs would no longer benefit from the high level of protection afforded by WSA status. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - JAMES CREEK COAL PREFERENCE RIGHT LEASE APPLICATION, RIO BLANCO COUNTY, COLORADO.
AN  - 36401586; 2147
AB  - PURPOSE: Sale of a coal preference right lease, based on application C-0126998, is proposed to allow mining on a 5,099-acre tract lying nine miles northeast of Meeker, in Rio Blanco County, Colorado. The lease area, which lies in the White River Resource Area of the Craig District and the James Creek drainage, ranges in elevation from 6,640 to 8,673 feet. Narrow valleys and hills with steep slopes characterize the area. Land uses include 5,081 acres of rangeland, 15 acres of agricultural land, and 3 acres of residential land. Approximately 85 percent of the lease surface estate is nonfederally owned; of this area, 2,250 acres are part of the Jensen State Wildlife Area, owned by the Colorado Division of Wildlife. The remainder of the nonfederal surface estate is held by private individuals. The Federal Government owns all mineral rights in the project area. Consolidation Coal Company (Consol), which is applying for the lease purchase, would remove 190 million tons from the lease area and an additional 90 million tons from adjacent mining estate. Consol would use an advancing open-pit technique to mine the lease area. Coal production would begin at two million tons during the initial year and increase annually by two million tons per year until the fifth year of production. The mining unit would be based on the following criteria: (1) marketing would require a 30-year, 10-million-ton-per-year contiguous reserve; (2) a maximum pit depth of approximately 800 feet; (3) avoidance of the Sulfur Creek Syncline area, where coal seams of interest are displaced approximately 2,000 feet deeper than the same seams in the mining unit; and (4) avoidance of the Ninemile Gap elk migration corridor. Mining would commence in the headwaters of James Creek northeast of Ninemile Gap and would progress southeasterly for approximately three and one half years. Mining would then proceed northwest of the original pit, arriving at the northern lease area boundary in the 23rd production year. The remaining seven years of production would involve mining the ridge from north to south between Highway 13 and James Creek. Coal would most likely be transported from the site by rail; however, no rail line right-of-way is currently under consideration. A program would be established to mitigate damage to wildlife habitat, soils, vegetation, surface and subsurface water resources, and cultural and paleontological resources. All lands affected by mining and ancillary activities would be reclaimed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities would produce 10 million tons of coal per year during full production, and 280 million tons over the life of the mine. Coal production activities would add to local employment rolls, boost the regional economy, and help meet the nation's energy requirements. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Over the 30-year life of the project, 5,200 acres of land, including vegetation that supports wildlife, would be disturbed. Habitat for elk would be disturbed or displaced for periods of varying durations. Areas disturbed each year would range from 47 acres to 265 acres. Rangeland and some farmland could be affected, and cultural and paleontological resources in the area would be disturbed or removed. Surface flows and groundwater would be affected by mining activities. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Coal Leasing Amendments Act of 1976 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).

T1  - CASTLE MOUNTAIN PROJECT, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36390026; 2156
AB  - PURPOSE: Issuance of a permit for the development of an open-pit heap leach gold mine, to be known as the Castle Mountain Project, in the Hart Mining District of Lanfair Valley in northeastern San Bernardino County, California is proposed. Lanfair Valley is located in the East Mojave National Scenic Area of the California Desert Conservation Area. The project site includes 2,735 acres of federal and patented lands. The mining operation would involve the use of conventional open-pit mining and heap leach processing to recover gold in a disseminated ore body. Based on current knowledge of the deposits, the proposed project would consist of two primary mine pits, known as Oro Belle and Lesley Ann/Jumbo. Crushing and grinding, conveyance, water supply, and storage facilities typical of this type of mining project would be developed and operated throughout the project life. Ore would be processed at a rate of approximately 3.0 million tons per year for approximately 10 years. At project completion, some 890 acres of the site would be disturbed. Issues identified through the public scoping process include geology, water, vegetation, wildlife, air quality, health and safety, visual resources, cultural resources, land use, socioeconomics, and infrastructure. 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 use approximately 450 gallons of water per minute (725 acre-feet per year); water would be withdrawn from the Lanfair Valley aquifer. To prevent lowering of the aquifer, a portion of the available water in the aquifer would not be available for uses associated with other activities until aquifer recovery through natural recharge, approximately 30 years following project completion. Project activities would affect 910 acres of land currently covered by elements of Joshua tree woodland/creosote bush scrub and blackbush scrub. Approximately 315 acres of desert grassland characterized by an unusual assemblage would be affected. Revegetation of the site would require 30 to 60 years. Wildlife habitat, including habitat for Bendire's thrasher and bighorn sheep, and forage for livestock would decline due to site disturbances. Use of explosives would generate noise in the vicinity of the project site. Power generation at the site would result in a localized reduction of air quality. Project facilities would mar the visual aspect of the valley, and land disturbances would result in some permanent changes in site aesthetics. LEGAL MANDATES: American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978 (P.L. 95-341), Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), and General Mining Law of 1872, as amended (30 U.S.C. 22 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED MINING PLAN, DRY FORK MINE, CAMPBELL COUNTY, WYOMING.
AN  - 36403593; 2149
AB  - PURPOSE: Development of the Dry Fork surface coal mine at a site approximately five miles north and east of the city of Gillette in Campbell County, Wyoming is proposed by the Phillips Petroleum Company. The mine would eventually cover 3,798.49 acres, of which 2,905.0 acres would be disturbed. Annual production from the mine would amount to 15 million tons of coal, and a total of 226.4 million tons of coal would be removed over the 34 years of the mine's life. The majority of facilities for the Dry Fork mine would be centrally located on 61 acres of land. Coal processing facilities would include a truck dump/crusher facility, a drivehouse, and transfer and sampling stations. A silo cluster and train load-out would be located on the east side of Moyer Springs. Run-of-mine coal would be dumped into 750-ton receiving hoppers above one of four roll crushers housed in an 80-foot-deep reinforced concrete pit. A 72-inch, 480-foot-long covered conveyor would lift the crushed coal to a drivehouse, which would house a transfer tower, sampling station, baghouse, and coal laboratory. A second 72-inch, 1,280-foot-long covered conveyor would carry coal from the drivehouse across Moyer Springs to the cluster of four storage silos. Construction of the first two 13,000-ton-capacity silos (70 feet in diameter and 265 feet high) over the outside loop of track would occur during initial development. The remaining two silos would be installed after production is expanded to 6.0 million tons per year. Transfer conveyors located on top of the silos would distribute coal among the silos from the main conveyor terminus. Ancillary facilities would be required for fuel and lube-oil storage, explosives storage, wastewater treatment, power transmission, communications, water supply distribution, and solid waste disposal. Water control facilities would include sedimentation and treatment ponds and hydrologic diversions and retention systems. A main access road, coal haul roads, light-use roads, and a railroad loop would provide a transportation infrastructure for the mine. The project would include reclamation and revegetation components as well as wildlife mitigation measures. There are 21 operating or proposed coal mines in Campbell County. Six existing and two proposed mines are contiguous in a 7-mile-wide by 12-mile-long strip in the area north and east of Gillette; the Dry Fork mine would be one of these eight mines. Altogether, the life-of-mine areas of the eight mines total 30,424 acres. Upon completion of mining, the eight mines will have produced 2.1 billion tons of coal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing for the energy needs of the nation, the mine would create employment opportunities and tax revenues and would generally boost the local and regional economies. National dependence on foreign sources of energy minerals would decline. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities would destroy vegetation and surface water flows at the mining site and alter site topography and geology permanently. Ground disturbance would increase particulate levels in ambient air during the life of the mine. Some of the scoria resource in the area would be lost. Slopes created by mining would contribute to erosion following reclamation. Extraction of water for mining operations would have moderate impacts on water levels in the Tullock Member of the Fort Union Formation. The flow levels of Moyer Springs Creek would decline slightly, having minor, short-term effects on associated wetlands and brook trout populations. Habitat for raptors, red-tailed hawk, pronghorn and mule deer, sage grouse, and golden eagles would be impacted. Additional user pressure would be placed on recreational resources in the area. Traffic on area roadways and railways would increase somewhat. Historic and cultural resources could be degraded. The visual quality for visitors to Gillette and Devils Tower National Monument would decline somewhat.

T1  - WESTERN OREGON PROGRAM FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF COMPETING VEGETATION.
AN  - 36404839; 2103
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a program to control vegetation competing with commercially exploitable forest species within six Bureau of Land Management (BLM) districts in western Oregon is proposed. The program would apply to all BLM lands in the Coos Bay, Eugene, Medford, Roseburg, and Salem districts and portions of BLM lands that were within the Medford District but are now in the Lakeview District as a result of a 1987 reorganization. The proposed action would allow for use of all effective methods of vegetation control in an integrated approach to the control of competing vegetation. Annual treatments would include prescribed burning on 18,000 acres, herbicide application (including backpack spraying) on 42,000 acres, mechanical treatments on 12,000 acres, manual treatments on 17,000 acres, and biological treatments on 600 acres. Streamside, residential, and other buffers would be provided in accordance with BLM policy. Burning, herbicide application, scarification, and manual treatments would be used for site preparation. Chemical and manual methods would be used for release and precommercial thinning. Roadside vegetation and noxious weeds would be controlled via mechanical, chemical, and manual methods. The estimated cost of the program is $12.0 million per year. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Control of vegetation that competes with commercially exploitable timber would sustain earnings and maintain employment levels in the western part of the state. The program would aid the region in meeting its needs for timber products. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Smoke and sedimentation levels in the affected districts would increase somewhat, and herbicide levels in water would rise. Slight increases in the temperature of surface flows would be likely. Moderate reductions in big game population would occur, and a reduction in the diversity of terrestrial habitat for small birds and mammals would result. LEGAL MANDATES: Coos Bay Wagon Road Act of 1939 (43 U.S.C. 1181f et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), and Oregon and California Act of 1937 (43 U.S.C. 1181 et seq.).

T1  - NORTHWEST COLORADO COAL PREFERENCE RIGHT LEASE APPLICATIONS, RIO BLANCO COUNTY, COLORADO.
AN  - 36398417; 2102
AB  - PURPOSE: Development of two coal-preference-right leases on land in northwest Colorado is proposed. Lease applications under consideration include the Chapman-Riebold C-0125366 and Jensen-Miller C-4275 locations. Development of the 640-acre Chapman-Riebold lease would require both surface and underground mining operations. The surface operations would utilitze the truck and shovel haulback method. Following topsoil removal, overburden would be drilled, blasted, and hauled to either a mined-out cut or to an overburden stockpile site. Stockpiled overburden material would be used to backfill the final highwall. Following overburden removal from the coal seams, the coal would be fragmented and loaded into haul trucks for transportation to the coal processing facility. Water trucks would be used for dust suppression. After removal of the coal, the open cut would be backfilled with overburden material from the next cut in the mining sequence. Portals to the underground mining operation would be constructed at the base of the final highwall of the surface mine. The conversion to underground mining methods would be initiated when overburden depth economically precluded additional surface mining. The underground mine operation would utilize either conventional or continuous mining equipment to extract coal by the room-and-pillar technique. Coal would be hauled by shuttle car, truck, or conveyor to the portal and by truck to processing facilities. A complete soil and overburden analysis would be conducted prior to submitting a mine permit application. The mining method proposed under the Jensen-Miller application would call for a small-scale surface operation. A bulldozer, front-end loader, haul trucks, and water truck would be the only mining equipment used. The coal seam to be mined dips between 11 and 12 degrees north and is located on the north flank of a ridge. Overburden is relatively shallow (20 to 30 feet) over the entire deposit. Of the 480 acres in the application area, only 120 acres would be strippable. The mining sequence at Jensen-Miller would call for stripping and stockpiling topsoil from an area near the base of the slope. The overburden from a cut, 40 feet by 100 feet, would be removed and stockpiled downslope from the cut. After ripping and removing the coal from the cut, topsoil would be removed and stockpiled from a similarly sized area immediately up dip. Overburden would then be ripped and pushed into the cut below. Coal exposed in the second cut would then be ripped and removed. This sequence would continue up dip either to where the coal was eroded away or until the top of the ridge was encountered. The cycle would then be repeated from the bottom of the ridge to the top until the deposit was depleted. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Chapman-Riebold tract would produce 6.2 million tons of coal, with an average British thermal unit (Btu) content of 10,600 to 11,400, while the Jensen-Miller tract would produce 1.4 million tons of coal, with an average Btu content of 10,600 to 10,930. The local employment base and economy would be boosted somewhat due to the construction and operation of mining facilities and the production of coal. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities could degrade local groundwater and result in a decline in local raptor populations. Cultural resources could be destroyed, and big game winter range would be destroyed. Reclamation potential for the areas would be low. Approximately 325 acres of land within the two tracts would be disturbed. Access roads would disturb another eight acres. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Coal Leasing Amendments Act of 1976 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).

T1  - PHOENIX RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36389933; 2107
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for 911,000 acres of public land in two distinct geographic regions in Arizona is proposed. The northern region, which lies in Apache and Navajo counties, encompasses approximately 229,000 acres of scattered public land lying north of the Sitgreaves National Forest and south of the Navajo Indian Reservation. The southern region, which consists of scattered tracts of public land in central and south central Arizona, encompasses 682,000 acres; the southern area covers all or part of eight Arizona counties. This statement updates land use planning decisions in management framework plans for Silverbell, Middle Gila, and Black Canyon. Key issues addressed by the plan would include land tenure adjustment, utility corridors and communication sites, areas of critical environmental concern (ACEC) and other areas requiring special management, off-road vehicle (ORV) restrictions, recreation management, and land classifications. The preferred management alternative would consolidate ownership and intensive management of public lands within seven designated Resource Conservation Areas (RCAs). Within these RCAs, attempts would be made to ""block up'' ownership by retaining 437,400 acres of public land currently under public management and acquiring 330,800 acres of private land in exchange for other public land. Consideration would also be given to the acquisition of private land within the RCAs through exchange, but only if the landowners initiate the action. Subsurface mineral ownership also would be consolidated under public management. Outside the RCAs, 439,600 acres of scattered public land would be available for disposal, primarily through exchange. Seven utility corridors for major systems and five communications sites would be designated. Six areas, encompassing 10,121 acres of public land would be designated as ACECs due to their significant historic, cultural, scenic, or natural values; an additional 6,280 acres of state and private land would be acquired and included in these areas. Nineteen Special Management Areas would be created. ORVs would be restricted to existing roads and trails. If the Coyote Mountains and Hells Canyon Wilderness Study Areas are not designated as wilderness, they would be designated as recreation management areas. Five cooperative recreation management areas would also be designated. The management plan would also provide for the transfer of several public land parcels, totalling 2,800 acres, to state and local governments, and five land classifications affecting 12,200 acres in the planning area would be terminated. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Land tenure objectives of the federal administrative body would be met, improving management efficiency and reducing administrative costs. The plan would result in significant improvement of watersheds, protection of cultural resources, improvement of ecological site conditions for vegetation on public land, a significant increase in public riparian habitat, general improvement of habitat conditions for five special-status plant species and nine targeted animal species, expansion of open space recreational opportunities, and general improvement of the availability and management of intensively used recreation sites. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Ranch values lying outside RCA boundaries would decline for small, medium-sized, and large ranches. Paper-spined cactus populations would decline due to disposal of public lands, and a portion of the habitat for the Little Colorado River Spinedance would be removed from federal protection. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Recreation and Public Purposes Act of 1926, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 88-0009D, Volume 12, Number 1-2.

AN  - 62883717; ED338465
AB  - This document contains a teaching guide and a children's activity book about the wild horses and burros living on Nevada public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). In 1971 Congress passed legislation to protect, manage, and control wild horses and burros on public lands. The BLM maintains 270 herd management areas in 10 states. As part of its efforts to maintain a thriving ecological balance in these areas, the BLM offers excess horses and burros to the public for "adoption." The teacher's guide contains a fact sheet on wild horses and burros and adoption procedures; a glossary; and five lesson plans covering awareness of wild horses and burros and their origin, terminology concerning wild horses and burros and their natural environment, ecological facts, art activities, and learning activities. Student materials, aimed at approximately the 4th grade level, is a coloring book with text that includes word puzzles and drawings that illustrate parts of the horse and Indian markings used on prize war horses. This document contains numerous pictures. (SV)

T1  - The Mohawk Mine; a base metal-silver deposit related to possible late Cretaceous normal-slip movement within the Clark Mountain thrust complex, San Bernardino County, California
AN  - 51958676; 2003-056303
AB  - The Mohawk Mine lies within the Ivanpah Mining District, eastern San Bernardino County, California. Mineralization consists of a complex suite of carbonates, oxides and sulfides of zinc, lead, copper and silver. Previous researchers have suggested that the base metal mineralization occurs within a skarn zone developed at the contact between the Bonanza King Formation and Clark Mountain stock. Field mapping and laboratory petrographic studies have raised questions with this model. Specifically, the absence of a characteristic calc-silicate assemblage, hydrothermal alteration of the intrusive itself and close spatial relationship of ore bodies to fault zones are difficult to reconcile with a skarn model. The mine is situated within a structural block bounded to the east by the Mesquite Pass thrust and the west by the Pachalka (Winters Pass) thrust. Three prominent north-northeast trending thrust faults have been mapped on the property. Two crosscut Cretaceous quartz monzonite indicating the most recent movement on the thrusts must be post-Jurassic. Reported ages for both the Mesquite Pass and Winters Pass thrusts are inconsistent (too old) with the observed relationships. Further, mineralization postdates both intrusion of the Clark Mountain stock and thrusting since the quartz monzonite has been altered adjacent to ore bodies, and some ore zones and their alteration halos parallel the plane of the thrusts. Modification of a model proposed by Sharp (1984) for the Colosseum Mine explains the observed structural relationships. Pre-Cretaceous thrusting occurred along both the Winters Pass and Mesquite Pass thrusts. Thrusting was followed by intrusion of the Cretaceous Clark Mountain stock resulting in a 10-20 degrees westward tilt of the existing strata. The tilt reactivated the thrust faults which experienced east to west gravity sliding (normal-slip), probably during late Cretaceous-early Tertiary. Delfonte volcanism (late Cretaceous) may have generated hydrothermal fluids which moved along the reactivated fault planes and emplaced the ore at favorable stratigraphic horizons within the host Bonanza King Formation.

T1  - Mineral resources of the California desert and their significance to California's economy
AN  - 51958239; 2003-056291
AB  - The California desert is one of the most important mineral repositories in the world. Currently over $1.3 billion of minerals are produced from the desert annually, from over 25 different minerals. The importance of desert minerals to California's economy is demonstrated by descriptions of the current uses and trends in cement, boron, rare-earth minerals, saline minerals, gypsum and gold. The California desert mining industry directly employs 16,640 people in the five-county area of Imperial, Inyo, Kern, Riverside and San Bernardino. It employs 19,630 people in Southern California. Mining jobs affect the region directly and indirectly. Direct effects include providing mining wages, mining equipment, sales, transportation and other services sold to the mining industry. Indirect effects include wages and salaries in industries in which mining products are used to manufacture other goods and services. Each $1 million in mineral production (current desert production is $1.3 billion) directly accounts for 12.8 jobs in the five-county area; 15.1 jobs in the greater Southern California region. Value added, which reflects direct effects on regional employment and the production of materials, equipment, and services supported by that employment, accounts for $754,799 per $1 million production in the five-county region ($981.2 million total) and $898,422 per $1 million production in the Southern California area ($1.1 billion total). Within the five-county region, every $1 million of minerals production annually accounts for $26,439.04 ($34.3 million total) in local taxes and $41,877.18 ($54.4 million total) in state taxes. For the greater Southern California region, each

T1  - Geology and gold mineralization at Blackhawk Mountain, San Bernardino County
AN  - 51957952; 2003-056299
AB  - The Blackhawk (Santa Fe) mines, credited with an historic gold production of over 10,000 ounces since their discovery in 1887, have been the site of intense exploration sampling and drilling in recent years. Most of these activities, including a 1988 bulk testing program, were aimed at establishing bulk mineable reserves in an extensive zone of Fe-alteration around the old workings. The results have indicated significant mineralization in localized areas along more than 2000 ft of exposed section. However, the mineralization is very erratic and major parts of the alteration zone are unmineralized. The property is controlled by Amerigold Inc., who are currently constructing a small pilot production plant. The mineralization and alteration are contained in the hanging wall of a major regional thrust zone in brecciated marbles of the Carboniferous Furnace Formation. The immediate footwall consists of argillized Precambrian gneiss. Mineralogical, geochemical, and fluid inclusion studies point to a multistage Process of gold mineralization. The primary gold mineralization occurs in narrow base metal-rich quartz-sulfide veins and replacement bodies, and also in quartz-sericite altered igneous dikes. A late stage oxidizing event, probably coincident with regional thrusting and argillite alteration caused nearly complete sulfide destruction and widespread mobility of Fe-oxides along with partial mobilization of precious metals. The remobilized gold coprecipitated with Fe-oxides in the matrix of the marble breccia. The primary phase of mineralization is related to CO2-bearing saline aqueous fluids with temperatures around 800 degrees C. This reflects a skarn-type mineralization in response to the emplacement of porphyritic dikes related to a Mesozoic age quartz monzonite intrusive. The proposed model may have implications for precious metal exploration along the northern range front of the San Bernardino Mountains.

T1  - California's unique geologic history and its role in mineral formation, with emphasis on the mineral resources of the California desert region
AN  - 51957913; 2003-056292
AB  - California's mineral wealth results from its long, complex, and active geologic history. The diversity of rock types in the State and the variety of geologic processes that have acted on these rocks have led to the formation of an unusual diversity of mineral deposits and the creation of some large and very unusual deposits. Two uncommon geologic events that have occurred in the geologic history of southeastern California have endowed the desert region with very large deposits of two unusual types of mineral deposits. The intrusion of a rare type of igneous rock about 1.4 billion years ago created the largest rare-earth-element deposit in the United States. Much more recently, during the past 20 million years or so, an unusual combination of geologic and climatic conditions have led to the formation of very large borate deposits. Nearly half of the world s present production of borate minerals comes from these desert deposits. The occurrence of mineral resources in any area is related to the geologic history of the area; the geologic processes that form and subsequently modify the rocks of an area are also responsible for the creation of any mineral deposits found there. California can be divided into eight types of geologic terranes, each of which formed under a certain general set of conditions; each type of terrane thus contains a set of characteristic rock assemblages and mineral deposit types related to its particular geologic history. The geologic history of California extends over approximately 1.7 billion years, during which the area has been progressively enlarged to the west by the attachment of terranes, some of which were created elsewhere and carried toward the continent (craton) by the motion of tectonic plates. Some of the processes that led to the formation of mineral deposits in California were active before the attachment of these terranes to the craton, whereas others occurred during or after terrane attachment. For example, some types of mineral deposits that occur in California are created only at ocean-floor hot springs; these deposits are found only in oceanic terranes that have become part of the State. This report briefly describes California's geologic terranes, the origins of those terranes, and the types of mineral deposits typically associated with each terrane. The mineral potential of each of the State's geographic provinces is summarized.

T1  - Geology and precious metal mineralization at the Morning Star Deposit, San Bernardino County, California
AN  - 51957312; 2003-056307
AB  - Disseminated precious metal mineralization at the Morning Star gold deposit, San Bernardino County, CA, occurs in the hangingwall of the N20 degrees W, 35 degrees SW trending Morning Star thrust fault. Mineralization is hosted by the weakly peraluminous late Jurassic-early Cretaceous Ivanpah Granite, which is the earliest of six intrusive phases of the Teutonia Batholith. Pervasive propylitic alteration occurs in both the hangingwall and footwall Weak argillic+ or -sericitic alteration occurs only in the mineralized hangingwall. Base and precious metal mineralization is associated with quartz+ or -calcite, occurring both as cements in stockwork breccia zones and as veins subparallel to the fault. Two stages of mineralization have been identified based on petrographic and electron microprobe analyses. An early stage of quartz, calcite, pyrite, hematite, chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite, Ag-bearing tetrahedrite, and electrum is followed by a later stage of pyrite, covellite, digenite, hematite, acanthite, uytenbogaardtite (Ag (sub 3) AuS (sub 2) ), native bismuth, and electrum. Electrum occurs as free grains and fracture fillings or as inclusions in pyrite during the early stage of mineralization, and as rims around early electrum or as intergrowths with covellite and acanthite in the later stage. Electron probe analyses indicate that early-formed electrum has an average fineness of 650, whereas all late-stage electrum has fineness greater than 820. Fluid inclusions in quartz associated with the early stage of mineralization contain H (sub 2) O and liquid and vapor CO (sub 2) at room temperature and have salinities of 6 wt.% NaCl eq. Microthermometric measurements (T (sub mCO2) = -56.6+ or -0.1 degrees C) indicate that the gas phase is essentially pure CO (sub 2) and, based on room temperature phase ratios, the inclusions contain 10-20 mole % CO (sub 2) . A minimum temperature of 280 degrees C is estimated from the fluid inclusions. Structural, mineralogical and fluid inclusion observations suggest that early Morning Star mineralization was structurally controlled and spatially and temporally associated with fluids of metamorphic affinity. Ore grades have subsequently been increased as a result of late stage hydrothermal processes.

T1  - Geology and genesis of white, high purity limestone deposits in the New York Mountains, San Bernardino County, California
AN  - 51956453; 2003-056312
AB  - Very large reserves of high quality limestone are present in the New York Mountains of Eastern San Bernardino County, California. Resources are contained in Paleozoic Carbonate rocks which are overlain by Mesozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks. The area has been affected by multiple episodes of Mesozoic deformation, intrusion and mild metamorphism. Detailed studies demonstrate the Paleozoic rocks can be subdivided into Formations and members correlative with rocks of the Cordilleran Miogeocline. Several of the Paleozoic carbonate formations contain limestone members of economic interest. Limestones of economic interest are present in the Sultan Limestone of Devonian Age, Monte Cristo Limestone of Mississippian Age and Bird Spring Formation of Pennsylvanian Age. Major factors influencing the genesis of the economic Carbonate deposits include depositional environment, post depositional activity, faulting, folding, uplift and erosion, and preservation through geologic time. Detailed geologic studies, bulk sampling and limited core drilling, have defined nine major deposit areas on the Pluess-Staufer (California) claims. Much of the limestone is very pure, containing >98% CaCO (sub 3) , and is also of moderate to high brightness (88->95). The limestone is suitable for all currently produced high brightness, high purity limestone products, and is identical in quality to rock currently mined on a large scale in the San Bernardino Mountains of Southern California. Combined reserves of the 9 deposit areas in the New York Mountains comprise the largest known undeveloped high brightness, high purity limestone reserve in the Southwestern United States.

T1  - Mineral potential, time and economic permissiveness
AN  - 51956419; 2003-056308
AB  - The southern California desert has a heritage of mineral exploration and mining. This heritage is as important now as it was in the past. Today, at least 25 mineral commodities valued at $1.3 billion annually reflect this economic benefit. Additional indirect and induced benefits are estimated to create a total real worth of $2.2 billion. The CDCA (California Desert Conservation Area) of southern California contains 25 million acres of which 9.7 million acres are public lands available for mineral development. Currently proposed legislation (S11) would create 8.8 million acres of wilderness and reduce the public land available for mining to 4.1 million acres. This protectionist movement claims that current mining would not be affected, and that these areas have no future mineral potential, and that California does not require additional mineral reserves. In reality, however, such a removal of public lands will diminish mining and will almost immediately kill mineral development in California. The rocky and mountainous areas emphasized for wilderness are the very areas with exploration potential. Such abject pessimism regarding mineral potential denounces our free enterprise system protected by the Mining Law of 1872. One need only look to recent economic changes which have revitalized California's annual gold production up to $60 million in 1985 and to 270 million in 1987. The Mesquite mine discovery announced by Gold Fields Mining Corporation in 1982 is one example of totally unexpected mineral wealth, which currently has an estimated annual production value of $72 million. The mine, in Imperial County, employs 260 people with an annual payroll of $8 million. It is responsible for a total of 700 mining equivalent jobs with an effective payroll of $22 million. To refute similar such economic opportunities is totally unacceptable.

T1  - Geology, alteration and mineralization of the Blackwater hydrothermal cell; San Bernardino County, California
AN  - 51956417; 2003-056302
AB  - The Blackwater Prospect is characterized as a volcanic hosted precious-metal hydrothermal cell located within the California Desert Conservation Area. The volcanic stratigraphy is comprised of rhyolite-rhyodacite pyroclastic lapillites, breccias, and tuffs, intercalated with volcaniclastic sediments. An intimate spatial distribution of flow-banded intrusive rhyolite with the pyroclastics suggests the prospect may represent a flow dome complex. Sedimentary structures suggest the intercalated strata may have been deposited as proximal epiclastic breccias and volcanic arenites. Hydrothermal alteration is classified as acid-sulfate and composed of quartz-alunite + or - kaolinite-sericite assemblages. Weak argillic alteration is generally pervasive. Moderate to intense zones of quartz-alunite + or - kaolinite + or - gypsum are structurally controlled. Zones of silicification range from weak to intense and are a function of: (1) structural control characterized as crackle breccias and stockworks and, (2) lithologic control related to primary porosity, i.e. the relative degree of welding, percentage of lithic clasts vs. matrix, and the clast size and degree of sorting. Au, Ag and trace element mineralization is proportional to the intensity of fracture-filling silicification, i.e. stockwork and breccia, and matrix replacement silicification. The Blackwater flow dome complex is characterized by; (1) acid-sulfate alteration assemblages, (2) brecciation and silicification, and (3) anomalous precious metal and trace element values which suggest this prospect represents the upper portion of a hydrothermal gold-silver system.

T1  - Mining and the California desert
AN  - 51956196; 2003-056294
AB  - Considerably less than one percent of the population and economy of California is involved with nonfuel minerals production. Although the California Desert Conservation Area produces significant quantities of some minerals, much of the value of mineral production is derived from private lands that would be unaffected by any legislation. Additionally, the bulk of the remaining value of mineral production from the California Desert is confined to the low unit-value construction materials, many of which are available elsewhere. Claimholders on federal lands in the CDCA would be protected by valid existing rights from any change in land status due to legislation. Current holders of mining claims on these lands need only prove the presence of economic quantities of minerals in order to continue to hold title to these commodities. Nowhere in the California Desert are there any current mining operations or reserves of strategic or critical materials. While it is often asserted that the CDCA holds many strategic or critical deposits, the Office of Technology Assessment maintains that all but 14 commodities can be obtained from domestic or secure foreign sources. None of the 14 strategic or critical materials identified by the OTA are currently produced in the California Desert. Mineral mining proponents claim that the proposed California Desert Protection Act would close off areas of mineral mining potential from possible exploration and future production. Yet, an analysis of gold mines in California reveals that 90 percent of all current and proposed gold mines in the state are located on sites with historical mining activity. The proposed legislation has excluded, to the extent possible, all sites with significant historical mineral production in order to minimize the impact of desert protection on future mineral endeavors.

T1  - Relationship between extensional tectonism and silver-barite mineralization of the Calico mining district, San Bernardino County, California
AN  - 51956128; 2003-056306
AB  - The Calico Mining District has produced over $20,000,000 of silver ore, much of it from 1880 to 1900, ranking the district as the largest silver producer in California. Silver-barite mineralization occurs in both the lower Miocene Pickhandle volcanics and the overlying sedimentary middle Miocene Barstow Formation. The style of mineralization is remarkably similar in both formations, but structural controls and mineral distribution differ significantly. The earliest veins in the Pickhandle Volcanics consist of barite and jasperoid, followed by a second stage of barite, jasperoid, oxides and sulfides. Subsequent oxidation of some of these veins by circulating meteoric water resulted in the formation of secondary oxides, carbonates and silver chlorides. Mineralization in the Barstow Formation, in contrast, is largely disseminated with veins accounting for only a percent or so of the total. However, paragenesis of the vein minerals in the Barstow closely parallels that in the Pickhandle with Early Barite Veins followed by Silver-Silicification Veins and Late Calcite Veins. A model is proposed which invokes ground preparation during early Miocene detachment faulting followed by hydrothermal emplacement during middle Miocene time of vein mineralization in fracture zones in the Pickhandle Formation and disseminated mineralization in the Barstow Formation. This was followed by reactivation and additional dilation of some fractures reflecting a regional, post-Barstow, distributive, dextral shear system. Subsequently oxidizing meteoric waters altered existing mineralization and deposited secondary oxides and jasperoid.

T1  - The Ivanpah Project of the Mojave gold province; a structural approach
AN  - 51956098; 2003-056298
AB  - Homestake Mining Company's Ivanpah project is located on the southeast flank of the Ivanpah Mountains approximately 70 road miles southwest of Las Vegas, Nevada. Current exploration has focused on an area one-half mile south of Vanderbilt Gold Corporation's Morning Star mine. The project area lies within the late Jurassic Ivanpah granite which is an early phase of the larger Teutonia batholith. The area occurs at the southern end of the Sevier orogeny thrust belt. Gold mineralization occurs predominantly as 1-65 micron prills of electrum along limonite, quartz, and calcite filled fractures. Stress field orientations and movement directions on major faults were determined using structural data collected from the Morning Star mine. Both open pit and underground observations indicate at least three and possibly four fault sets. Beginning with the earliest set, the Morning Star fault, movement was determined to be oblique right-lateral slip with a weak normal component. No evidence was found to support the current thrust fault classification. The second fault set developed as a NNW oriented right-lateral, reverse, oblique-slip fault. The third set developed as a NNE-striking normal faults. The final set occurs as an ENE-oriented, right-lateral, normal, oblique-slip fault. Field observations indicate this set developed penecontemporaneously with an early barren hydrothermal phase producing abundant white clay minerals within and adjacent to the fault plane. All previous fault sets were altered similarly but to a significantly lesser extent. Later, ore-mineralizing fluids entered each of the fault sets, but were greatly inhibited in the ENE set due to a damming effect from the white clay alteration in minerals therein. Areas of increased fracture density contain more ounces of gold. Therefore, at zones of intersecting fractures better mineralization occurs particularly where fluids were confined by a nearby aquitard. Application of knowledge gained from the structural analysis including structural geometries, fault movement directions, ore trends, alteration controls and the characteristics of the plumbing system responsible for ore mineralization, has produced very favorable results. Accurate drill targeting in areas with considerable colluvial cover has become increasingly possible. Accuracy and confidence of geologic interpretations made from reverse circulation drill chips have significantly improved. Alteration patterns, gangue mineralization and mylonite fabrics noted in drill cuttings are now more significant and meaningful. Recognition of ore trends and fracture orientations has prompted optimization of drill hole orientations. This has improved representativeness and locally tenor of drill results.

T1  - Overview of the Standard Hill gold mine, Mojave, California
AN  - 51956001; 2003-056305
AB  - The Standard Hill Mine is a small open-pit heap-leach gold mine operated by Billiton Exploration, U.S.A. It is located in the Mojave Mining District, about 100 miles north of Los Angeles. Mining has occurred at Standard Hill on an intermittent basis since 1894, with a total production estimated at 150,000 ounces of gold and 500,000 ounces of silver. The country rock consists of Mesozoic-age quartz monzonite which has been intruded by Miocene-age porphyritic quartz latite. Precious metal mineralization is hosted by quartz-calcite veins which commonly occur at or near the contact of the two rock types. Selective mining is performed using conventional drilling, blasting and mucking procedures. Ore control has proved to be a challenge due to the narrowness of the veins. About 2000 tons per day of ore are crushed to minus 3/8-inch size, agglomerated and stacked into heaps. A solution of sodium cyanide is used to dissolve gold and silver from the heap. The precious metals are recovered using a portable process plant. other small precious metal deposits amenable to heap leaching occur throughout the California desert.

T1  - Folding of the Barstow Formation in the southern Calico Mountains, San Bernardino County, California
AN  - 51955957; 2003-056296
AB  - Well developed folding in the sedimentary strata of the middle Miocene Barstow Formation occurs along the south flank of the Calico Mountains northeast of Barstow, California. The folds lie within an eastward widening wedge of Barstow which is generally, but not always, in gradational contact with the underlying lower Miocene Pickhandle volcanics. The wedge of Barstow is bounded on the south by the Calico fault and on the north by the Pickhandle volcanics. It pinches off to the west near a point where the strike of the Calico fault swings conspicuously to the north. In at least one site, near the west end of the wedge, evidence in the form of missing basal Barstow redbeds, present to the east along strike, and limited exposures of low-angle, south-dipping polished planes separating Barstow from Pickhandle, supports a slump origin for some of the folds. Elsewhere, folding not associated with apparent decoupling of the Barstow from the Pickhandle affects the major portion of the Barstow in the southern Calico Mountains. Sub-horizontal fold axes trend between N75E and N75W. The dips of axial surfaces range mainly from near vertical to steeply south-rarely north. The geometry and attitude folds in the Barstow Formation in the study area and the easterly strike of the normally northwesterly striking Calico fault are suggestive of a transpressive environment which may be related to a recently proposed regional east-west trending belt of north-south shortening passing through the central Mojave block.

AN  - 16240378; 4226046
AB  - The U.S. Coast Guard, in accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, is conducting environmental studies at its Support Center in Kodiak, Alaska, to determine if hazardous materials have been spilled or disposed of at the facility. The U.S. Geological Survey conducted a hydrologic evaluation of the Support Center to assess the extent of possible ground-water, surface-water, and soil contamination resulting from the handling of hazardous materials. This report describes the borehole and monitoring-well drilling program conducted on the Support Center by the U.S. Geological Survey. It contains maps and diagrams depicting well locations, logs, and construction details, as well as soil-sampling information for 121 boreholes, of which 102 were completed as water-quality monitoring wells.

T1  - Uncompahgre Basin wilderness: Final environmental impact statement.
AN  - 15994570; 2573910
AB  - This final environmental impact statement analyzes and describes the environmental, social, and economic effects of designating or not designating as wilderness, three wilderness study areas (WSAs) in the Uncompahgre Basin Resource Area, Colorado, USA. The study areas are Gunnison Gorge (21,038 acres), Camel Back (10,402 acres), and Adobe Badlands (10,425 acres). The All Wilderness and No Wilderness Alternatives were considered for each WSA. In addition, an Enhanced All Wilderness Alternative was developed as the Proposed Action for the Gunnison Gorge WSA. The Proposed Action, which was identified after the environmental analysis, recommends the entire Gunnison Gorge WSA, plus an additional 1,040 acres (22,078 acres total), as preliminarily suitable for wilderness designation. The entire Camel Back WSA and Adobe Badlands WSA are recommended nonsuitable for wilderness designation.

T1  - Draft eligibility and suitability report for the upper Klamath wild and scenic river study.
AN  - 15955692; 2539690
AB  - The draft study report evaluates the eligibility, classification, and suitability of the upper Klamath River in southern Oregon and northern California, USA, for designation as a component of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, established in 1968 by the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. It has been determined that segment 1 from the J.C. Boyle Dam to the powerhouse is ineligible and all of segments 2 and 3 are both eligible and suitable for designation with a "scenic" classification. The determinations and conclusions in the report were based on an evaluation of the natural values in the area. Both segments 2 and 3 meet or exceed the criteria for a scenic classification, but do not meet the criteria for wild classification.

AN  - 15630049; 2272614
AB  - The technical reference contains suggested techniques and procedures to inventory and monitor riparian areas. It will assist managers in determining their specific inventory and monitoring needs. Inventory components are shown as essential or optional. Essential components should be emphasized, but they are not required. The extensive inventory is completed using primarily remote sensing inventory data: managers identify, characterize, and roughly classify riparian sites. These data are used to classify sites in more detail, and to provide site-specific management objectives and monitoring criteria. (Also available from Supt. of Docs.)

T1  - SACRAMENTO RIVER WATER CONTRACTING PROGRAM, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36398304; 2084
AB  - PURPOSE: Resumption of long-term contracting of approximately 1.5 million acre-feet per year of available and uncommitted water under the auspices of the Central Valley Project (CVP) is proposed as a means of meeting agricultural, municipal and industrial, and refuge water needs. The portion of the 1.5 million acre-feet covered in this environmental impact statement would originate in the Sacramento River area. The CVP service area extends for approximately 430 miles through much of California's Central Valley, from the Engle and Shasta reservoirs in the north to Bakersfield in the south. The CVP service area also includes urban areas south and east of San Francisco Bay and the San Felipe Unit, which lies in the adjacent coastal valleys. The Bureau of Reclamation has contracted to provide water service to California's Central Valley for multiple-use purposes since completion of the initial features of the CVP in the 1940s. In addition, the CVP controls flood flows, generates hydropower, and provides water for fishery enhancement, wildlife management, and recreation. The water proposed for contracting, which originates from existing storage facilities in the northern portion of the CVP (Shasta, Trinity River, and American River divisions), would be sufficient to meet only a portion of CVP's current 3.4 million acre-feet per year water needs. Criteria on which the proposed allocation scheme would be based include the following: (1) water would be allocated to areas for which major conveyance facilities exist and new construction would be minor; (2) water would be allocated to areas that are presently authorized for service; (3) water would be allocated to the areas of origin to the extent that there is conveyance capacity for delivery; (4) water would be allocated to meet the full needs of the wildlife refuges; (5) water would be allocated in a way that strongly encourages conjunctive use for multiple purposes; and (6) consideration would be given to the integration of local groundwater supplies into available CVP supply, which would increase California's total water supply and assist areas with payment capacity limitations. Approximately 15,000 acre-feet per year of firm water and 160,000 acre-feet per year of intermittent water would be allocated to agricultural requesters located in the Sacramento Valley. A total of 4,800 acre-feet per year of intermittent water would be allocated to Shasta Dam Public Utilities District, and 171,000 acre-feet per year of intermittent water would be allocated to meet refuge Level 4 needs. No CVP water would be allocated to Yolo and Solano County requesters, since construction of a major conveyance facility (extension of the Folsom-South Canal) would be necessary to deliver CVP water to these requesters. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In compliance with applicable state and federal laws, the contracting program would equitably allocate the remaining CVP yield, optimize the amount of water available for beneficial use, increase the amount of water available for beneficial uses within the Central Valley, and optimize economic returns at the local, regional, and national levels. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Significant negative impacts resulting from the allocation plan would affect drainage on 8,000 acres in the Yolo-Zamora Water District. During critically dry years, the Shasta Reservoir storage would decline by 30 percent. Some site-specific refuge groundwater overdrafting would occur. Wetland and tributary river biotic communities could suffer from water losses, and some special status species could be affected. Visual resources associated with the Shasta Reservoir would be degraded somewhat. Land conversion activities would include conversion of 165 acres to agricultural uses, 35,000 acres to urban uses, and 21,300 acres to upland. Changes in the Shasta Reservoir level would expose additional cultural resource sites to potential disturbance.

The portion of the 1.5 million acre-feet covered in this environmental impact statement would originate in the Delta Export Service Area. The CVP service area extends for approximately 430 miles through much of California's Central Valley, from the Engle and Shasta reservoirs in the north to Bakersfield in the south.

Approximately 250,000 acre-feet per year of firm water would be allocated to users in the San Felipe Unit; 190,000 acre-feet to municipal, industrial, and agricultural users in the Mid-Valley Water Authority; and 40,000 acre-feet of firm water and 181,000 acre feet of intermittent water to meet Level 4 requirements for refuges. In addition, 198,000 acre-feet of conditional water would be allocated to agricultural users and 2,150 acre-feet of conditional water to municipal and industrial users. The availability of conditional water would be dependent on the capacity in the California Aqueduct and a permit from the California Department of Water Resources to pump at Banks Pumping Plants. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In compliance with applicable state and federal laws, the contracting program would equitably allocate the remaining CVP yield, optimize the amount of water available for beneficial use, increase the amount of water available for beneficial uses within the Central Valley, and optimize economic returns at the local, regional, and national levels. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Significant negative impacts resulting from the allocation plan would affect warm water fish species introduced into the area. Changes in the economies of some areas would be negative, and no irrigation of developments outside existing or proposed places of use would be provided. Wetlands could be converted to upland areas.

T1  - AMERICAN RIVER WATER CONTRACTING PROGRAM, SACRAMENTO, SAN JOAQUIN, AND PLACER COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36390033; 2079
AB  - PURPOSE: Resumption of long-term contracting of approximately 1.5 million acre-feet per year of available and uncommitted water under the auspices of the Central Valley Project (CVP) is proposed to meet agricultural, municipal and industrial, and refuge water needs. The portion of the 1.5 million acre-feet covered in this environmental impact statement would originate in the American River area. The CVP service area extends for approximately 430 miles through much of California's Central Valley, from the Engle and Shasta reservoirs in the north to Bakersfield in the south. The CVP service area also includes urban areas south and east of San Francisco Bay and the San Felipe Unit, which lies in the adjacent coastal valleys. The Bureau of Reclamation has contracted to provide water service to California's Central Valley for multiple-use purposes since completion of the initial features of the CVP in the 1940s. In addition, the CVP controls flood flows, generates hydropower, and provides water for fishery enhancement, wildlife management, and recreation. The water proposed for contracting, which originates from existing storage facilities in the northern portion of the CVP (Shasta, Trinity River, and American River divisions), would be sufficient to meet only a portion of CVP's current 3.4 million acre-feet per year water needs. Criteria on which the proposed allocation for the American River scheme would be based include the following: (1) water would be allocated to areas for which major conveyance facilities exist and new construction would be minor; (2) water would be allocated to areas that are presently authorized for service; (3) water would be allocated to the areas of origin to the extent that there is conveyance capacity for delivery; (4) water would be allocated to meet the full needs of the wildlife refuges; (5) water would be allocated in a way that strongly encourages conjunctive use for multiple purposes; and (6) consideration would be given to the integration of local groundwater supplies into available CVP supply, which would increase California's total water supply and assist areas with payment capacity limitations. Approximately 165,000 acre-feet per year of firm water and 22,050 acre-feet per year of intermittent water would be allocated to agricultural requesters located in Sacramento County. No CVP water would be allocated to San Joaquin County requesters, since construction of a major conveyance facility (extension of the Folsom-South Canal) would be necessary to deliver CVP water to these requesters. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In compliance with applicable state and federal laws, the contracting program would equitably allocate the remaining CVP yield, optimize the amount of water available for beneficial use, increase the amount of water available for beneficial uses within the Central Valley, and optimize economic returns at the local, regional, and national levels. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Significant negative impacts resulting from the allocation plan would affect the shad fishery, riparian habitat, and aesthetics associated with the American River. Land conversion activities would destroy vegetation and wildlife habitat, and changes in Folsom Reservoir operations would affect recreational uses and visual quality. Contract implementation would result in the use of significant amounts of energy.

T1  - PROPOSED REVISION TO THE PERMANENT PROGRAM REGULATIONS IMPLEMENTING SECTION 522(E) OF THE SURFACE MINING CONTROL AND RECLAMATION ACT OF 1977 (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT 2 TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1979).
AN  - 36389505; 2023
AB  - PURPOSE: Revision of regulations associated with the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) of 1977 is proposed. The revision would establish standards for demonstrating valid existing rights to mine in areas where Congress otherwise has prohibited mining under Section 522(e) of the SMCRA and would clarify the applicability of the Section 522(e) prohibitions to subsidence effects of underground mining. This second draft supplement to the final environmental impact statement of January 1979 considers general effects on the human environment that might occur as a result of coal mining under the various alternative regulatory revisions under consideration. Section 522(e) prohibits, subject to valid existing rights, surface coal mining operations on lands within units of the National Park System, the National Wildlife Refuge System, the National System of Trails, the National Wilderness Preservation System, the Wild and Scenic Rivers System, and National Recreation Areas. In addition, surface mining operations without valid existing rights are prohibited (with certain expectations) if they will adversely affect places listed on the National Register of Historic Places or any publicly owned park or if they lie within a national forest. Such operations are also prohibited within 100 feet of cemeteries or public roads and within 300 feet of occupied dwellings, public buildings, schools, churches, or public parks. Under Preferred Regulatory Alternative P1, valid existing rights for coal mining operations (including off-site preparation plants) would be established by the modified all permits standard. An applicant for valid existing rights would be required to demonstrate that he or she had obtained, or had made a good-faith effort to obtain, all permits necessary for surface coal mining operations or off-site preparation plants before August 3, 1977. An exception would be made for claims in West Virginia and Illinois, where the takings test is standard for valid existing rights. Underground mining would be allowed within protected areas designated by Section 522(e), but surface facilities and any measureable subsidence in the reasonably foreseeable future would be prohibited. The mine operator would be allowed to use whatever means were available to meet the subsidence standard. Under Preferred Alternative P2, the same valid existing rights stipulations would be enforced, but surface facilities and subsidence that caused no material damage to protected lands, features, and structures would be allowed. Under Preferred Alternative P3, most owners of private coal rights in Section 522(e) areas would be able to establish valid existing rights for underground mining, and the prohibitions of 522(e) would not apply to underground mining. In addition, some operators would be able to establish valid existing rights for surface mining. Under Alternative P3, the operator claiming valid existing rights would need to show the right to extract the coal by the method intended as determined by the laws of the state in which the property was located. To establish valid existing rights for off-site preparation plants under Alternative P3, an operator would have to show the right to use the land and have all necessary permits. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under Preferred Alternative P1, almost no one would qualify for valid existing rights, resulting in virtually no disturbance or other negative impacts due to surface mining or off-site preparation plants on lands covered by Section 522(e) of SMCRA. Alternatives P2 and P3 would allow easier establishment of valid existing rights and greater degrees of damage due to subsidence, resulting in greater degrees of damage to property and other resources in 522(e)-protected areas. Allowance of coal mining under Alternatives P2 and P3 would contribute to the nation's energy reserves and decrease our reliance on foreign sources of energy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Regardless of the alternative chosen, some subsidence would occur due to underground mining activities; impacts to hydrology, soils, and vegetation would result. The relatively greater subsidence and surface disturbances expected under Alternatives P2 and P3 would affect land uses, wildlife habitat, aquatic biota, cultural resources, aesthetics, and recreational resources. LEGAL MANDATES: Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements and draft and final supplements 1, see 79-0006D, Volume 3, Number 1; 79-0431F, Volume 3, Number 5; 82-0476D, Volume 6, Number 8; and 83-0054F, Volume 7, Number 2, respectively.

T1  - EUGENE 0'NEILL NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE, CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36398046; 2043
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a 10-year general management plan to guide the development and use of the Eugene O'Neill National Historic Site in Contra Costa County, California is proposed. The 13.19-acre site is located approximately 20 miles east of San Francisco on a ridge overlooking the San Ramon Valley. The preferred alternative would call for development of the Clipper Hill access route, removal of a major nonhistoric structure, use of another nonhistoric structure for administrative purposes, adaptive use of an historic barn as a maintenance facility, development of additional structures and parking for administrative and visitor uses, and boundary adjustments. Performing arts and related educational programs on the site would include occasional theater performances, a seminar program, and a small-scale artist-in-residence program. The boundary adjustment would provide for a new access road and include contiguous orchards and additional historic features. The capital costs of plan implementation would be approximately $3.3 million, and annual operating costs are estimated at $200,000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: General visitation levels would increase from 10,000 to 15,000 persons. Space would be provided for small-scale theater performances, and office space would be provided for the Eugene O'Neill Foundation. Boundary adjustments would ease management. Archaeological resources associated with the property would be protected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: A steep wooded area would be removed from the management unit, reducing protection of the area. Development of the new access road, parking areas, and other new facilities would detract somewhat from the historic value of the property. Removal of vegetation would degrade the visual aspect of the property somewhat. Disturbance of approximately 2.7 acres of surface area, including 50 mature trees, and soil compaction on an additional 1.5 acres would result. Construction activities would disturb the Clipper Hill neighborhood, and operation of the historic site would result in minor noise increases and loss of privacy for neighborhood residents. A small portion of the Las Trampas Regional Wilderness would be lost.

T1  - DEVERS-PALO VERDE NO. 2 500 KV TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA AND YUMA AND MARICOPA COUNTIES, ARIZONA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MARCH 1979).
AN  - 36406423; 2025
AB  - PURPOSE: Southern California Edison Company, together with several other western utility companies, proposes to construct a 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission line from the Devers Substation near Palm Springs, California to the vicinity of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, approximately 40 miles west of Phoenix, Arizona. The proposed Devers-Palo Verde No. 2 route would parallel the existing Devers-Palo Verde No. 1 500-kV transmission line. A comprehensive environmental impact statement (EIS) was prepared for the Devers-Palo Verde No. 1 project, covering essentially the same study area as the proposed project. Because the original study was done approximately nine years ago, this supplemental EIS provides an updated analysis. The transmission line would consist of overhead wires (conductors) to form three electrical phases. These conductors would be supported by lattice steel structures and would be electrically isolated from the structures by insulators. The proposed transmission line is designed to operate at a nominal voltage of 525 kV phase to phase and a maximum voltage of 550 kV phase to phase. The line would be capable of transferring nominally 1,200 megawatts (MW) of power on a continuous basis and 2,000 MW under emergency conditions. The total project includes 238 miles of new transmission line, of which 112 miles are located in Arizona and 126 miles are located in California. The line would terminate at two existing facilities, the Devers Substation in California and the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in Arizona. In addition, the line would connect to two series compensation banks, which would be located along the transmission line route. One facility would be located in Arizona, 61 miles west of the Palo Verde Switchyard, and the second would be in California, approximately 64 miles east of the Devers Substation. The facilities would be located adjacent to the approved locations for the Devers-Palo Verde No. 1 series compensation banks and would be under the proposed Devers-Palo Verde No. 2 line and generally within the rights-of-way. A 221- by 320-foot area would be required for these facilities. The proposed No. 2 transmission line would also require modification or reinforcement of Edison's existing 220-kV transmission system west of the Devers Substation. The reinforcement required for the 220-kV system includes reconductoring some of the existing circuits and rearranging the circuits. As planned, seven towers of the approximately 370 existing structures might be replaced in close proximity to the existing towers, two towers may be removed, and three towers may be added. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Building of the transmission line and ancillary facilities would improve electrical power services to area residents. There would be an increase in local sales, property, and income tax revenues as a result of construction and operation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The transmission line route traverses several areas of sensitive and highly erosive soils, as well as prime farmlands. Wildlife habitat would be disturbed along the length of the route, and vegetation would be damaged. Safety hazards to agricultural activities, particularly agricultural aircraft, would be increased. Towers, lines, roads, and communication sites would intrude visually on the surrounding landscape, possibly disturbing several wilderness study areas, and would affect recreational quality in certain areas. Construction activities would increase dust pollution, soil erosion, and siltation in water courses and could damage cultural resources along the corridor. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements (EISs) and the draft supplement to the final EIS, see 78-1166D, Volume 2, Number 11; 79-0549F, Volume 3, Number 6; and 87-0131D, Volume 11, Number 4, respectively.

T1  - UNDEVELOPED COASTAL BARRIERS AND FEDERAL FLOOD INSURANCE (FINAL SUPPLEMENTAL LEGISLATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT ON PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE COASTAL BARRIER SYSTEM).
AN  - 36397936; 2035
AB  - PURPOSE: Designation by the Secretary of the Interior of undeveloped coastal barriers and prohibition of issuance of new federal flood insurance on designated barriers are proposed. Coastal barriers are unique landforms generally paralleling the mainland and are found along the coasts of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. During the recent past, residential development on coastal barriers has proceeded rapidly, and substantial development pressure now affects more regions of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The National Flood Insurance Program has made the Federal Government the primary insurer of private property on coastal barriers. To redirect the economic risk of development back to the private sector, Section 341 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 prohibits the issuance of new federal flood insurance coverage on or after October 1, 1983 for any new construction of or substantial improvement to structures located on undeveloped coastal barriers. To implement the mandate, candidate areas along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts that receive the most extensive developmental pressure were evaluated for designation as undeveloped coastal barriers. Subsequently, Congress passed the Coastal Barrier Resources Act of 1982 (CBRA). Based on this act, the Secretary of the Interior has developed new alternatives in relation to designation of undeveloped coastal barriers. This final supplemental legislative environmental impact statement assesses the environmental consequences of alternatives considered since the final environmental impact statement of May 1983; the supplemental statement is part of a study published by the Department of the Interior under Section 10 of CBRA. The action proposed in the supplemental statement involves the addition of approximately 791,000 acres of land, including fastland and wetland, and some 173 miles of shoreline to the Coastal Barrier Resources System. The addition of land would be accomplished through expansion of various components within the definition and delineation criteria for coastal barriers, namely, those concerning the composition of coastal barriers, associated aquatic habitat, secondary barriers, and "otherwise protected" coastal barriers. In addition, the boundaries of some existing system units would be adjusted to exclude development that existed in 1982 and land areas that were misclassified as coastal barriers. POSITIVE IMPACTS: To the extent that the proposed action limits new development, it would contribute to maintaining natural geological and ecological processes and the valuable fish and wildlife resources that they support. Development-related loss and disturbance of dunes, grasslands, shrublands, forests, tidal marshes, mangroves, and wetlands would be reduced. Significant floodplain and wetland areas would be protected. Sales of coastal barriers for preservation and recreational purposes would be increased, and the diversity and productivity of aquatic habitat associated with the barriers would be enhanced. Approximately $785.0 million in federal subsidies would be saved, and up to $1.63 billion in post-disaster replacement costs could be saved by the Federal Government. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some economic costs would affect owners and developers of coastal barrier property, especially in the Florida Keys, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where development pressures are great. LEGAL MANDATES: Coastal Barrier Resources Act of 1982 and Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 (P.L. 97-35). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements (EISs) and the draft supplemental EIS, see 82-0416D, Volume 6, Number 7; 83-0456F, Volume 7, Number 9; and 88-0005D, Volume 12, Number 1-2, respectively.

T1  - ACQUISITION OF INHOLDINGS IN ALASKA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGES, ALASKA.
AN  - 36382513; 2041
AB  - PURPOSE: Land exchanges are proposed to consolidate federal holdings within the Alaska National Wildlife Refuges. In 1985, the Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks was approached by several Alaska Native corporations about the possibility of trading certain of their lands within National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska for limited oil and gas interests in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge coastal plain area. Much of the land offered is prime refuge land with unsurpassed fish and wildlife values. Negotiations between the Assistant Secretary and a total of 18 native corporations resulted in proposed land exchanges that would provide for the acquisition of 891,000 acres of pristine inholdings in seven refuges in return for 166,000 acres of oil and gas interests in the Arctic Refuge. Refuges in which inholdings could be acquired by the Federal Government would include Kodiak, Alaska Maritime, Yukon Delta, Innoko, Nowitna, Kanuti, and Kenai; respective land areas within these national refuges would amount to 260,000 acres, 87,000 acres, 233,000 acres, 125,000 acres, 78,000 acres, 75,000 acres, and 33,000 acres. On the refuge inholdings to be acquired by the Federal Government, the following terms would be in effect: (1) a perpetual fee interest in the surface estate would be acquired, with a subsurface inholding remaining on approximately 55 percent of the acquired areas; (2) lands included in the exchange that have been selected but not yet conveyed to private owners would be relinquished and deducted from the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act entitlement of the respective native corporations; and (3) except for the Kenai Refuge, a subsistence use and access easement would be retained by the exchange participants for lands conveyed to the Federal Government. On the Arctic Refuge exchange tracts, the following terms would be in effect: (1) ownership of the oil and gas interest in the area would be time-limited and the interests exchanged would eventually revert to federal ownership; (2) oil and gas exploration, development, and production would be consistent with federal and state laws and any federal leasing program; (3) the environmental standard for impact evaluation would be that of "no unnecessary environmental effects"; and (4) interests could be pursued as soon as Congress decides to open the area to exploration and development. The negotiated value of the native lands acquired is estimated at $539.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The uniqueness of the lands to be acquired is reflected in world class habitats for migratory birds, anadromous fish, and brown bears, coupled with unsurpassed recreational opportunities; for example, 77 percent of the Yukon Delta population of brant, 17 percent of the world population of cackling Canada Geese, 15 percent of the world population of emperor geese, and 10 percent of the Pacific Flyway population of greater white-fronted geese nests in the lands that would be acquired through the exchanges. Also, lands would be acquired that would perpetually protect habitat critical to the Kodiak Brown Bear. In addition to the quality of lands to be acquired, the exchanges would represent a special opportunity, due to the different laws governing land acquisition in the state of Alaska. Unlike inholdings in refuges in the other 49 states, native inholdings in Alaska cannot be acquired by the Federal Government through condemnation, and may only be acquired from willing sellers by mutual agreement. Thus, the prospect of 18 native corporations becoming willing sellers at this time would be likely to represent a one-time opportunity. The economic position of the native corporations would improve substantially due to the new mineral exploration and development rights in the Arctic Refuge. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Oil and gas exploration on the Arctic Refuge tracts conveyed to the native corporations would result in damage to habitat for caribou, muskox, snow geese, polar bears, seals, whales, and other fishery resources. Water quality, subsistence resources, and wilderness values could also be undermined. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487) and Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1972 (43 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.).

T1  - MOLYCORP GUADALUPE MOUNTAIN TAILINGS DISPOSAL FACILITY, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36408296; 2038
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of a molybdenum tailings disposal facility just west of Questa in Taos County, New Mexico is proposed in a permit application by Molycorp, Incorporated. Molycorp has operated a molybdenum mining and milling operation near Questa since the 1920s. Mining operations expanded to open-pit operations in 1964. Construction of a larger mill created a need for a sizable tailings disposal site for the operation. Initial construction for the existing tailings disposal site located west of Questa and 1.5 miles east of Guadalupe Mountain began in 1964. Currently, two impoundments provide for tailings storage. At the present time, Molycorp's mining and milling operations have been temporarily stopped due to the depressed price of molybdenum. Molycorp intends to reopen and expand their existing operations as soon as the market allows for production at profitable levels. The conversion of Molycorp's open-pit mine to an underground mining operation has extended the potential life of the mine and will ultimately result in the generation of more tailings than the existing facility can accommodate. At maximum designed production capacity of the Molycorp mine and mill, approximately 18,000 tons per day, or 6.5 million tons annually, would be milled and disposed of at the tailings disposal site. A total of 250 million tons of storage is required to ensure continuous production from the Questa mining operation. The remaining storage in the existing facilities would provide for less than 50 percent of the needed long-term tailings storage. The proposed new facility would involve construction, operation, and eventual closure and reclamation of a tailings pond in the saddle on Guadalupe Mountain. The proposed pond site is located approximately three miles northwest of the village of Questa on a site encompassing 1,230 acres. Development of the pond would entail clearing, grading, and excavation of fill material for construction of two dams. Other ancillary facilities would include a pumping station, an extended tailings pipeline, tailings distribution lines, an access road and a patrol road around the perimeter of the pond and dams, a powerline, a collection pond and dam for dam seepage, surface water diversion channels, and a decant water channel or pipeline. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Adding the capacity of the new tailings facility to existing accommodations would provide enough storage space for approximately 40 years. The new facility would provide additional storage for approximately 200 million tons of tailings. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: During operation of the pond, New Mexico air quality standards for total suspended particulates could be violated. Tailings solution would seep downward into the regional water table. Site topographic, geologic, and visual composition would be altered. Soils and vegetation on 825 acres would be disturbed or destroyed, along with the associated wildlife habitat. Forage reductions would occur on two public grazing allotments. Access to a portion of the Guadalupe Mountain area would be blocked. Construction noise would affect local campgrounds. Eleven archaeological sites considered eligible for the National Register of Historic Places would be disturbed. Wind blown tailings dust would present a health risk for the local population.

T1  - Archaeology in the National Historic Landmarks Program. Technical Brief No. 3, December 1988.
AN  - 62962551; ED329485
AB  - The National Park Service's National Historic Landmarks (NHL) Program plays a major role in preserving nationally significant cultural resources. National Historic Landmark designation increases public awareness of archaeology by highlighting the importance of the most significant prehistoric and historic archaeological resources. By disseminating information on threats to archaeological NHL's, the program draws attention to the worst problems confronting the finest sites. By sponsoring study of nationally significant archaeological resources, the NHL Program helps citizens better understand the past. And by increasing the number of archaeological NHLS, the Program publicizes the benefits and limitations of current laws and statutes meant to protect U.S. archaeological heritage. This publication explains the NHL Program; the process by which NHLS are identified, nominated, and designated; defines the major issues involving NHL prehistoric and historic archaeological resources; and shows how the NHL Program can help to meet the challenge confronting the national archaeological heritage. Several photographs of NHL sites are included. (Author/DB)

T1  - CONTRA COSTA CANAL INTAKE RELOCATION, CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36408257; 2080
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan to improve the quality and reliability of municipal and industrial water deliveries in the Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) of Contra Costa County, California is proposed. The CCWD receives most of its water from the Contra Costa Canal, which has been operated by the Bureau of Reclamation since the early 1940s, when it was completed as the first unit of the Federal Central Valley Project. The plan would involve relocation of the canal intake from Rock Slough to the Clifton Court Forebay via construction of the Highline Canal. A 500-cubic-foot-per-second pumping plant would be constructed adjacent to the state's Delta Pumping Plant to lift water 211 feet from the intake channel of the Delta Pumping Plant to its discharge channel. From there, the water would be conveyed via the new concrete-lined Highline Canal to the existing Contra Costa Canal just down from Pumping Plant No. 4 and to the existing Contra Loma Reservoir. The new canal would be approximately 19.0 miles long. The Highline Canal would use the Delta Pumping Plant's existing fish screens, which would be modified if required after additional fishery studies were completed. Operation of the one-way Highline Canal from Clifton Court Forebay to the CCWD service area would be similar to CCWD's current operation of the intake at Rock Slough. Operation from the Forebay would be coordinated with operation of the State Water Project to ensure compatibility of the two systems. As an intake to either a Kellogg or Los Vaqueros offstream reservoir, the portion of the Highline Canal between Clifton Court Forebay and any new reservoir would be converted into a two-way canal to convey excess and good quality water from Clifton Court Forebay for storage. The water would be released later either to the Contra Costa Canal or back to the Delta Pumping Plant for use by downstream users. The portion of the Highline Canal between the reservoir and the Contra Costa Canal also could be designed as a two-way canal, should that option be desirable at a future time. The Highline Canal could be designed to allow use of its right-of-way for recreational trail development. The feasibility of offstream storage at the Los Vaqueros and Kellogg reservoir sites is also being studied as part of the Contra Costa Unit of the Bureau's Offstream Storage Investigation, now underway. Although this statement only covers the canal intake relocation, preliminary data on both the Los Vaqueros and Kellogg reservoir sites are included in this document. The estimated cost of the intake relocation is $59.0 million, and the benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 1.39. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Water quality benefits to industrial, municipal, and water treatment plant users would be valued at $1.8 million, $5.3 million, and $286,000, respectively, as annual averages. Savings to users would result from increased reliability, costs avoided for providing full water supply, operation and maintenance cost savings, and energy savings. Net annual benefits would be worth $3.9 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 292 acres would be removed from other uses, and six creeks would be traversed. Eleven ponds would lie adjacent to the canal alignment. Natural vegetation and associated wildlife habitat would be lost on 350 acres; habitat losses could include vernal pools, riparian zones, wetlands, and marshes. One threatened /endangered plant species and four threatened/endangered animal species would be affected. The canal would encroach on delta fishery habitat. Construction activities would result in the release of particulates and ozone into the atmosphere. Six cultural sites and six isolated features would lie within project boundaries. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Public Law 96-375, and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - REELFOOT LAKE WATER LEVEL MANAGEMENT, OBION AND LAKE COUNTIES, TENNESSEE AND FULTON COUNTY, KENTUCKY.
AN  - 36406515; 2051
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan for management of water levels in Reelfoot Lake, located in Obion and Lake counties, Tennessee and Fulton County, Kentucky, is proposed. The lake, Tennessee's only natural lake, was formed during the New Madrid earthquakes of 1811 and 1812 and lies three miles east of the Mississippi River within the Mississippi River Alluvial Plain. Approximately 29,506 acres in the vicinity of the lake are publicly owned. The environmental problems of Reelfoot Lake stem from sedimentaton and hypereutrophic conditions. Although various structural measures and soil conservation practices have been implemented in the lake's watershed, erosion and sediment deposition are still the major problems. The accumulation of undecomposed organic material and high nutrient inflow, combined with limited water level fluctuation, contribute to the hypereutrophic condition. The preferred alternative would involve an integrated water level management program that would combine dynamic water fluctuation and major drawdown components. The dynamic water fluctuation component would involve management of the surface elevation of Reelfoot Lake for a dynamic, natural fluctuation, depending on the natural moisture regime in particular years. Water levels would be managed for at least a two-foot seasonal fluctuation between elevations 284 feet above mean sea level (MSL) and 280 feet above MSL each year. The major drawdown alternative would involve periodically lowering lake levels by four feet with the present water control structure or up to eight feet with a new water control structure; the drawdown would occur every 5 to 10 years and would begin on June 1 and be completed by July 15 or, in the case of the new water structure, earlier than July 15. A minimum of 120 days would be permitted for drying and refilling; startup of this period would be between November 1 and November 15. Following the drawdown, the lake would gradually refill and be held at 283.2 feet above MSL until June 1 of the following year. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Water management under the preferred alternative would permit the widest range of options to enhance and preserve the major habitats at Reelfoot Lake. Sport fish populations would increase almost immediately, and lake longevity would be extended. Semiaquatic furbearers and game mammals would benefit from the greater variety of habitats created by water level fluctuations. Winter waterfowl and wood duck breeding habitat would increase and improve. Other bird use would be enhanced by fluctuations. Most listed threatened and endangered species would benefit. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Extreme fluctuations during some years would result in fish kills and losses of furbearers, waterfowl, marsh birds, and wadding birds, but these effects would be short-term. Some potential would exist for outbreaks of botulism in waterfowl during the drawdown periods, and drawdowns would impact certain threatened and endangered species.

T1  - AMOCO CARBON DIOXIDE PROJECTS, WYOMING AND MONTANA.
AN  - 36397894; 2028
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction, operation, and abandonment of five proposed Amoco carbon dioxide projects in Wyoming are proposed. The projects could also affect Carbon County, Montana. The Fontenelle Project would include 10 development wells in the Raptor Field, 24 miles of gas gathering system pipelines, and a 150-million-standard-cubic-foot-per-day (MMSCFD) gas processing plant; the Elk Basin Project would include 178 miles of pipeline and a 150-MMSCFD gas processing plant; the Beaver Creek Project would include 43.9 miles of pipeline and a 150-MMSCFD recycle plant; the Little Buffalo Basin Project would include 35.5 miles of pipeline and a 150-MMSCFD recycle plant; and the Salt Creek Project would include 9.2 miles of pipeline and a 150-MMSCFD recycle plant. The five projects would constitute a single carbon dioxide supply source (the Fontenelle Project) and carbon dioxide floods in four existing Wyoming oil fields. Once approved by the Federal Government, Amoco could decide to implement any combination of the five projects. The four fields that would be targeted for carbon dioxide flooding have been producing oil and gas for many years. To pursue carbon dioxide flooding in these fields, Amoco could be required to replace or upgrade the existing injection and production systems in the fields. The corrosive nature of carbon dioxide when mixed with water, combined with the higher operating pressures projected during the carbon dioxide floods, could make some of the waterflood equipment presently used in these fields inadequate. Precise plans and locations for wellfield-related activities are not available at this time. Therefore, specific impacts associated with individual wellfield-related activities are not analyzed on a case-by-case basis in this environmental impact statement. Potential worst-case impacts associated with development within each of the fields are summarized for each project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The projects would represent Amoco's second step in an overall strategy to improve ultimate oil recovery from existing fields throughout Wyoming. Enhanced oil recovery in each of the fields would extend the economic limit of its productive life, increasing the ultimate oil recovery potential for the field. In addition to the economic benefits that would result from the production of oil, the projects would maintain local economies due to employment and other socioeconomic inputs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project construction and operations could result in degradation of 50 acres of critical deer and antelope winter range, 59 acres of critical moose winter range, 60 acres of sage grouse breeding /nesting habitat, and seven acres of raptor nests and winter concentration areas. Some fugitive dust emissions would be expected in the area of construction and operations.

T1  - LANDER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, LANDER, WYOMING: WHISKEY MOUNTAIN AND DUBOIS BADLANDS (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JULY 1986).
AN  - 15222569; 2039
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of land and resource management plans is proposed for the 487-acre Whiskey Mountain Wilderness Study Area (WSA) and the 4,520-acre Dubois Badlands WSA in the Lander Resource Area of west-central Wyoming. This statement supplements the final environmental impact statement of July 1986 on implementation of a land and resource management plan for the entire Lander Resource Area. The resource management area encompasses most of Fremont and portions of Natrona, Sweetwater, Carbon, and Hot Springs counties. The WSAs are located in northwest Wyoming near the town of Dubois. The Whiskey Mountain WSA lies approximately five miles south of Dubois on the northern slope of Whiskey Mountain in the Wind River Mountains; it borders the Fitzpatrick Wilderness Area. The Dubois Badlands WSA lies approximately two miles east of Dubois, just north of the Wind River. The preferred alternative would involve denial of wilderness status to both WSAs. Management provisions would address mineral resources, wildlife habitat, recreational uses, including off-road vehicle use, and grazing. The Whiskey Mountain WSA would continue to be closed to mineral leasing unless drainage of federal oil and gas reserves should occur. Management of wildlife habitat in the Whiskey Mountain WSA would emphasize bighorn sheep winter range and sport hunting of the species, as well as aesthetics, transplant stock, and educational and scientific values. Off-road vehicle use would be limited to roads and trails. Approximately 215 acres of land would remain under grazing lease arrangements. The Dubois Badlands WSA would be open to oil and gas leasing with no surface occupancy stipulation and would be open to locatable mineral entry. No mineral activity would be expected in the Dubois Badlands WSA due to the area's low potential for locatable minerals. The Dubois Badlands WSA would be closed to off-road vehicle use. A total of 746 animal unit months of forage would be allocated to livestock. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values in the WSAs would be maintained, at least in the short-run, due to the lack of anticipated disruptive management actions. Recreational and economic benefits provided by the WSAs would continue to enhance the local economy of Dubois. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values in both WSAs would be subject to long-term degradation due to recreational activities, livestock grazing, and mineral exploitation activities. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements on the Lander Resource Management Plan, see 85-0513D, Volume 9, Number 11, and 86-0469F, Volume 10, Number 11, respectively.

T1  - PROPOSED SAN JACINTO PROJECT, TEXAS.
AN  - 36404977; 2094
AB  - PURPOSE: A plan to supply water to help meet the growing municipal and industrial water needs within the San Jacinto River Basin in southeastern Texas is presented. The project is located in the San Jacinto River Basin, which encompasses all or parts of Montgomery, Harris, Grimes, Walker, Waller, San Jacinto, Fort Bend, and Liberty counties in southeast Texas. The recommended plan would include the Lower Lake Creek Dam and Reservoir, which would provide a design capacity of 89,100 acre-feet for flood control storage. The reservoir would yield 65,000 acre-feet of water supply for the initial 50 years of operation and 62,200 acre-feet thereafter. The Lower Lake Creek damsite is located on Lake Creek in Montgomery County, between State Highways 2854 and 1488. Water supplies made available from development of the Lower Lake Creek site would be used primarily to meet the increasing needs of the southern half of Montgomery County, including the Conroe-Woodlands area and northern Harris County north of FM Road 1960. The embankment section of the dam would be zoned, compacted earthfill, approximately 13,080 feet long, with a maximum height of 84 feet in the river channel. The crest width would be 42 feet to accommodate the relocation of the Egypt-Honea Road. I-beam guardrails would be installed the entire length of the embankment section for traffic safety. The spillway would be a gate-controlled, concrete ogee-crest-type structure located in the right abutment, due to firm foundation conditions. An approach and outlet channel would be required. The main body of the reservoir formed by the dam would run in a west-to-east direction, with the upper portion of the reservoir having a northwest by southeast direction. The reservoir would be 2.2 miles wide at the dam and would back water up Lake Creek for 16 river miles. The length of the shoreline would be approximately 69 miles. The normal water surface or top of active conservation pool would be at elevation 183.8 feet. At this point the reservoir would have an initial storage capacity of 256,800 acre-feet. The reservoir would inundate 13,090 acres of land and have an initial firm yield of 65,000 acre-feet of water. A design storage capacity of 80,100 acre-feet of water would be provided between elevation 183.8 and 190.0 feet to accommodate floodflows. At elevation 190.0 feet, the reservoir would be 2.3 miles wide, back water upstream for 18 river miles, and inundate 15,660 acres of land. Minimal clearing is planned, with emphasis on maximizing fish and wildlife benefits and sports recreation associated with the reservoir, while maintaining a reasonable cost structure. The bulk of the clearing would be from the dam structure to the vicinity of the proposed damsite on the old Upper Lake Creek site. The total construction field cost is estimated at $215 million, with total annual costs of $23.1 million and a benefit/cost ratio of 1.1. Based on the repayment rate, the annual costs, and a water supply of 62,200 acre-feet/year, the cost of water would be $1.13 per 1,000 gallons. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Benefits from the plan would consist of those derived from the improved municipal water supply ($19 million), flood control ($4.7 million), and recreation ($2 million). The proposed project would provide 62,200 acre-feet of water annually and 88,900 acre-feet of flood control storage. Subsidence and related problems would be reduced. Low flows would be increased and high flows reduced. The principal beneficiaries would be residents of southern Montgomery County. In addition, the implementation of flood control measures at the Lower Lake Creek site would benefit residents living downstream from the site along the West Fork of the San Jacinto River to the mouth of Galveston Bay. Wildlife habitat in some areas would be enhanced. The plan would have a positive effect on the bald eagle; populations of red-cockaded woodpeckers would remain stable. Net beneficial employment effects that would occur during the four-year construction period would be 215 man-years, based on an estimated 250 annual man-years attributed to project construction. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Nineteen miles of stream fish habitat and 13,000 acres of wildlife habitat, including 2,810 acres of bottomland hardwood, would be lost. Approximately 13,000 acres would be inundated, and 280 acres of prime farmland would be lost. Additionally, 2,013 acres of forested wetlands and 33 acres of herbaceous wetlands would be flooded by the reservoir. Approximately 460 residences, 7.9 miles of road, 1.2 miles of pipelines, and 35 oil and gas wells would be relocated. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Public Law 89-561.

T1  - ALLEGHENY WILD AND SCENIC RIVER STUDY, PENNSYLVANIA.
AN  - 36397746; 2050
AB  - PURPOSE: Recommendations concerning the status of the Allegheny River from Kinzua Dam to East Brady in Pennsylvania as a candidate for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System are considered. The Allegheny River is located in northwestern Pennsylvania in the Appalachian Plateau Region. It flows from its origins in Potter County, Pennsylvania through a small portion of New York State, and then swings southwwest through Pennsylvania, converging with the Monongahela River at Pittsburgh to form the Ohio River. Approximately 85 miles of river, in three contiguous segments running through six counties, are eligible for inclusion in the national system. The preferred alternative would involve designation of the 31.3-mile segment of river from Franklin to Emlenton as a Wild and Scenic River. Issues considered during the evaluation of the 85 miles of river include the development of future recreational opportunities, cost efficiency and the effect that designation would have on the regional economy, selection of a managing agency, loss or curtailment of private property rights, ease of management, protection of existing state and federal threatened and endangered species, protection of existing cultural resources, and protection of the river's water quality, free-flowing character, and outstandingly remarkable values. All sections of the river between Franklin and Emlenton would be recommended for designation as recreational river under local and state initiative procedures. The estimated cost-benefit ratio resulting from the proposed designation is 0.61. POSITIVE IMPACTS: River recreational use would increase by 30 percent. The river above Tionesta would have sufficient public access and support facilities to provide for this increased use. New public access sites would provide for increased use below Tionesta. Annual commercial revenue increases of $77,000 would result from designation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some soil and landform disturbance would occur when new public boat launches are constructed; each of the two launch sites would impact approximately three acres. Potential for oil and gas development would be precluded on the islands and riverbank setback zones in the designated river segment; approximately 56 acres on islands and 2,276 acres on setback zones would be affected. Some sand and gravel mineral development would be foregone. Undesignated segments could be affected by residential and commercial development, degrading visual resources within the affected portions of the corridor. Increased river use after designation would increase noise from motorized boats along the river. Designated lands would be removed from the local tax base. LEGAL MANDATES: Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.).

T1  - WILDERNESS STUDY AREAS IN THE ROCK SPRINGS DISTRICT, FREMONT, LINCOLN, SUBLETTE, AND SWEETWATER COUNTIES, WYOMING (REVISED DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT).
AN  - 36403762; 2053
AB  - PURPOSE: Establishment of land management plans for 13 wilderness study areas (WSAs), encompassing 220,922 acres, in the Rock Springs District of Freemont, Lincoln, Sublette, and Sweetwater counties, Wyoming is proposed. WSAs under consideration include the 13,865-acre Lake Mountain WSA, 34,456-acre Raymond Mountain WSA, 10,300 Buffalo Hump WSA, 27,309-acre Sand Dunes WSA, 17,630-acre Alkali Draw WSA, 10,800-acre South Pinnacles WSA, 12,800-acre Alkali Basin-Sand Dunes WSA, 9,515-acre Red Lake WSA, 42,044-acre Honeycomb Buttes WSA, 5,700-acre Oregon Buttes WSA, 4,002-acre Whitehorse Creek WSA, 23,841-acre Devils Playground-Twin Buttes WSA, and 8,660-acre Red Creek Badlands WSA. The preferred plan would involve designation of 105,347 acres within five WSAs as wilderness. All other lands would be managed for multiple uses. Land to be managed as wilderness would include the entire Oregon Buttes WSA and Raymond Mountain WSA, 6,080 acres within the Buffalo Hump WSA, 21,184 acres within the Sand Dunes WSA, and 37,927 acres within the Honeycomb Buttes WSA. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness management for areas designated as wilderness would maintain existing high levels of air quality and topography, minimize disruptive activities that would otherwise degrade the pristine aspects of the areas, allow continued naturalistic changes to the environment, maintain water quality and quantity, prevent destructive grazing practices, eliminate exploitative removal of timber, promote protection of natural wildlife habitat, ensure the provision of adequate primitive recreation opportunities, and maintain the visual quality of the areas. Nonwilderness management of nondesignated areas would provide extensive economic opportunities to the local and regional communities. Nonprimitive recreational activities, such as off-road vehicle use, would be allowed in the WSAs managed for multiple uses, increasing accessibility to these areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Nonwilderness management of nondesignated areas would allow exploitative activities that could damage the ecology and alter their pristine nature; as a result, the affected lands would be ineligible for future consideration for wilderness designation. Some economically advantageous uses of areas designated as wilderness would be precluded by wilderness designation. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - BROTHERS/LAPINE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, OREGON.
AN  - 36404713; 2048
AB  - PURPOSE: Establishment of a land and resource management plan for 1.1 million acres of public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management within the Brothers/LaPine Planning Area of the Prineville District of Oregon is proposed. The preferred alternative would involve harvesting up to 14.0 million board feet (MMBF) of timber annually over seven years from 1,500 to 2,000 acres in the LaPine area; allocating 16,000 animal unit months (AUMs) of forage to livestock in the LaPine area; removing all wild horses; providing aggressive fire suppression for 506,000 acres; designating 605,000 acres for conditional fire suppression and fire use; limiting off-road vehicle (ORV) use on 267,076 acres; closing 10,722 acres to ORV use; expanding the Millican Valley ORV area to 65,000 acres; managing 51,280 acres for rockhounding; designating Horse Ridge Research Natural Area and 11 other areas, encompassing 36,916 acres, as Areas of Critical Environmental Concern; designating three areas, encompassing 1,565 acres, as research natural areas; authorizing public land for agricultural use if no conflicts exist; exchanging, leasing, or selling areas in the LaPine core areas; transferring to or exchanging with local governments land near Bend Redmond and Prineville to accommodate community expansion; allowing geophysical exploration and development of mineral resources and related rights-of-way; and prohibiting surface occupancy for mineral development on 16,480 acres around Prineville Reservoir. Public lands would remain open for exploration (including geophysical) and development of mineral resources and related rights-of-way. Fluid mineral leasing would continue within the entire federal reserved mineral estate and 946,000 acres of public land open to exploration subject to standard lease requirements and stipulations. Seasonal restrictions would be placed on mineral activities within 44,580 acres of deer wintering areas and 3,560 acres of sage grouse strutting grounds. Restrictions would be placed on 100,000 acres of land that are visually sensitive or of high scenic quality. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the plan would provide for optimum habitat diversity for wildlife and increase AUMs of forage available to livestock. Water quality would improve, and quantities of available water would increase in the long term. Recreational uses would increase significantly, and special research and natural values would be protected. The visual quality of the area would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Timber harvests would decline, reducing the availability of timber to local markets. Wild horse removal would eliminate a species that has been a long-term inhabitant of the area. Mineral exploration and development could damage soils and degrade visual resources in some areas. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CALIFORNIA SECTION 202 WILDERNESS STUDY AREAS, BAKERSFIELD AND UKIAH DISTRICTS, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36408336; 2044
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of land and resource management plans for six wilderness study areas (WSAs), encompassing a total of 5,944 acres of public lands located in the Bakersfield and Ukiah districts of California, is proposed. The WSAs under consideration include the 494-acre Garcia Mountain WSA, 130-acre Rockhouse WSA, 2,209-acre Domeland WSA, 80-acre Machesna WSA, 640-acre Yolla-Bolly WSA, and 2,391-acre Big Butte WSA. All lands within the WSAs under consideration would be designated as nonwilderness and would be managed for multiple uses under existing management schemes applicable to the area in which each is situated. Management actions to be implemented in conjunction with nonwilderness designations would include actions pertinent to recreation resources management, fire control, wildlife habitat protection, livestock forage uses, mineral and energy developments, vegetation enhancement, cultural resources protection, sensitive plant species protection, timber resources management, and land tenure adjustments. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Multiple use management of areas designated for nonwilderness uses would allow for more intensive management actions to protect and exploit economic and recreational resources within the areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Exploitation of resources and management measures associated with multiple use development of nonwilderness areas would degrade their wilderness qualities. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 87-0387D, Volume 11, Number 10.

T1  - WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CALIFORNIA SECTION 202 WILDERNESS STUDY AREAS, SUSANVILLE DISTRICT, CALIFORNIA AND CARSON CITY DISTRICT, NEVADA.
AN  - 36398488; 2045
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of land and resource management plans for two wilderness study areas (WSAs), encompassing a total of 5,050 acres of public lands located in the Susanville District of California and the Carson City District of Nevada, is proposed. The WSAs under consideration include the 4,500-acre South Warner Contiguous WSA of California and the 550-acre Carson Iceberg WSA in Nevada. The entire Carson Iceberg WSA and 1,187 acres within the South Warner Contiguous WSA would be designated as wilderness. All land designated for nonwilderness uses would be managed for multiple uses under existing management schemes applicable to the area in which each is situated. The portion of the South Warner Contiguous WSA to be designated as wilderness would be managed in conjunction with the South Warner Wilderness Area. The Carson Iceberg WSA would be managed in conjunction with the adjacent Forest Service Carson Iceberg Wilderness Area. Management actions to be implemented in conjunction with the wilderness and nonwilderness designations would include actions pertinent to recreation resources management, fire control, wildlife habitat protection, livestock forage uses, mineral and energy developments, vegetation enhancement, cultural resources protection, sensitive plant species protection, timber resources management, and land tenure adjustments. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation would protect the pristine values of these lands for present and future generations and expand already existing wilderness areas into appropriate contiguous areas. Multiple use management of areas designated for nonwilderness uses would allow for more intensive management actions to protect and exploit economic and recreational resources within the areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Access to lands designated as wilderness would be reduced significantly, limiting recreational use to those able to withstand primitive conditions. Exploitation of resources and management measures associated with multiple use development of nonwilderness areas would degrade their wilderness qualities. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - SAN XAVIER DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36407998; 2034
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of the San Xavier Development Project is proposed to provide an irrigation system for agricultural purposes. The project would deliver water to the San Xavier District of the Tohono O'odhan Nation, which is located approximately 10 miles southwest of downtown Tuscon, Arizona. The project would be part of the settlement of a water rights suit filed by the Papago Tribe of Arizona, now the Tohono O'odham Nation, against several major water users in the Santa Cruz and Avra-Altar basins in southern Arizona. Under the settlement, a total of 66,000 acre-feet of imported water per year was awarded to the Nation. Specific quantities of water are to be delivered to the Schuk Toak and San Xavier districts within the Nation. The main features of the preferred alternative would involve canals, pipelines, field ditches, turnouts, floodways, land leveling, and construction of a headquarters office. More specifically, the project would irrigate a net area of 8,379 acres using sprinkler, surface, and bubbler irrigation systems. The project would begin in the vicinity of the southeast corner of the project boundary at the Central Arizona Project (CAP) turnout near the CAP regulating reservoir. It would be separated by floodways extending from north to south through the project area. The development would use approximately 38,100 acre-feet of water per year to irrigate the net acreage. An additional 1,800 acre-feet of water would be used annually to maintain the vegetation in the floodways and the vegetated corridors. An annual total of 4,000 acre-feet of water would be reserved for use on the existing farm. An annual total of 6,100 acre-feet of water would be available for other uses as yet unspecified. The estimated cost of the project is $41.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Annual net income of the Nation would increase substantially due to the availability of new irrigation water. Groundwater pumping requirements would decline substantially, relieving severe overdraft problems in the area. Employment rolls for the Nation would increase significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project implementation would result in severe habitat degradation and loss, severance of contiguous habitat, impairment of wildlife movement corridors, loss of special status species and other wildlife, and wildlife drownings. Approximately 3,401 acres of Palo Verde-mixed cacti habitat would be lost. Numerous archaeological sites could be impacted in an area in which human habitation extends backward over at least 12,000 years. Groundwater contamination could occur due to farm uses on overlying soils. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (P.L. 93-638), and Southern Arizona Water Rights Settlement Act of 1982 (P.L. 97-293).

T1  - WESTERN MOJAVE LAND TENURE ADJUSTMENT PROJECT, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36397253; 1945
AB  - PURPOSE: The Western Mojave Land Tenure Adjustment (LTA) Project stems from concerns of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) (Barstow and Ridgcrest Resource Areas in the California Desert District in Riverside, California), the Department of Defense (DoD) (Air Force Flight Test Center, Edwards Air Force Base (AFB) and George AFB), and San Bernardino County, California. Approximately 2.8 million acres of public and private land are involved in the Western Mojave LTA Project Area located in Kern, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino counties in the Mojave Desert of south-central California. The project area is bounded on the north by the China Lake Naval Weapons Center, on the east by Fort Irwin Road and Interstate 15, on the south by the Angeles National Forest and the San Gabriel Mountains, and the Tehachapi Mountains on the west. Of principal concern to the three agencies is the current checkerboard landownership pattern over these 2.8 million acres, where ownership changes every square mile, promotes "leap frog" development, and is incompatible with the San Bernardino County General Plan's policy of logical and orderly development of the county. BLM desires to consolidate its checkerboard landownership pattern in several areas that contain sensitive resources; the county would like to be able to guide urban development in the region to avoid a random, scattered pattern of "leap frog" development; and the Air Force wishes to ensure that air space corridors in the project area remain useable in the future. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are discussed. Each presents a somewhat different solution to the management of four central issues: the landownership pattern, multiple-use classifications (public land), land use categories (private land), and public health and safety. The proposed action, Alternative VI, would provide a level of benefit to the functions of all three agencies by promoting the management of contiguous areas and the resources or resource values of concern. The plan provides for maximizing private land acreage identified for acquisition through exchange in the LTA Project Area (250,305 acres). This land has been identified by BLM and DoD as priority for resource management. A total of 124,544 acres of public land is included in the retention zone under this alternative. A maximum acreage (132,768 acres) would be included in the disposal zone. Public land in the consolidation zone (291,520 acres) would be designated Class L to minimize future conflicts with DoD activities. Public land in the retention zone (76,064 acres) would remain under existing classifications. Land in the disposal zone (154,016 acres) would be designated as unclassified. Private land in the consolidation zone (250,305 acres) would be considered for a Rural Conservation (RC) designation, and retention zone land (192,614 acres) would be considered for a Rural Living (RL) designation to avoid future conflicts with DoD activities. Existing land use categories would remain on lands in the disposal zones. A Safety-Noise Overlay would be considered for the consolidation and retention zones within the supersonic/low level flight and ingress corridors, alerting local citizens to potential hazards and providing a basis of consideration in land use decision making. This would prevent degradation of the Air Force mission capability due to encroachment. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Positive effects of the proposed project for archaeological and historical resources include an increased number of previously unrecorded sites on BLM-managed lands, better landownership patterns for management of the identified cultural resource polygons, and the potential for more effective protective management of the resource base because of consolidated and contiguous patterns. More effective management of paleontological resources on both consolidated and retained public lands would result from consolidation of public lands. Cultural resource properties would be protected on RC and RL lands; overall long-term access to recreation opportunities would improve; management of visual resources in the project area would improve; better grazing management would result; and areas that contain mineral resources or have potential for other energy source development should benefit from land consolidation. Military testing and training requirements would be well served by the proposed alternative. The project would result in a beneficial socioeconomic impact in Barstow and Victorville, as well as increased protection of the private citizen's health and safety. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Air resources in the project area could be degraded due to increased auto or industrial emissions; groundwater aquifers could suffer additional overdraft; and surface water quality could be degraded by additional pollutant loads to local drainages in Barstow and/or Victorville, if development occurs. The proposed alternative would result in the loss of 1,657 acres of desert tortoise crucial habitat, and the habitat of the Mohave ground squirrel would be greatly reduced. The exchange of land could result in the loss of three county borrow sites for road repair materials. The estimated cost to the county of hauling from more remote sites would be $15,000 per year. Portions of various grazing allotments would be negatively impacted, as would several sensitive plant species. The negative impacts would be more than balanced by the increased effectiveness of management. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - UNCOMPAHGRE BASIN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, COLORADO.
AN  - 36397741; 1970
AB  - PURPOSE: Options for future management of the public lands in the Uncompahgre Basin planning area portion of the Uncompahgre Basin Resource Area in west-central Colorado are identified and analyzed. The planning area encompasses a total of approximately 1.38 million acres in the Montrose District. Under the preferred alternative, the planning area would be managed using the multiple-use concept, with restrictions applied so that objectives would be achieved, statutory requirements and policy commitments would be met, and identified issues would be resolved in a balanced, cost-effective manner. Existing air quality would be maintained. Existing coal leases on 26,663 acres would be continued. Approximately 83,334 acres of federal coal estate in the Paonia/Somerset and Bookcliffs coal areas would be identified as acceptable for further coal leasing consideration. Approximately 920 acres would be acceptable for further coal leasing consideration with stipulations. Leasing of federal oil, gas, and geothermal estate would be allowed on 484,349 acres, with standard lease terms. There would be a yearlong no surface occupancy stipulation on 9,135 acres, and seasonal stipulations on 176,076 acres. Seasonal stipulations would also apply to seismic activities. Approximately 21,038 acres would be closed to leasing. It would be recommended that existing withdrawals that currently close 59,250 acres to mineral location and entry be retained on 9,440 acres and revoked on 49,890 acres. Revocation of the withdrawals would open the 49,890 acres to mineral entry and location. The Gunnison Gorge Wilderness Study Area (WSA), Escalante Canyon Area of Cricital Environmental Concern (ACEC), and Fairview Research Natural Area/ACEC (23,310 acres) would be closed to mineral entry and location. Mineral entry and location would be allowed on the remaining 642,392 acres of federal mineral estate. Disposal of mineral materials would be allowed on 444,532 acres of public land with federal mineral estate; seasonal restrictions would be placed on disposal on 63,174 acres, and disposal would require review on 9,360 acres. Disposal would be prohibited on 26,493 acres. Water quality and erosion conditions would be inventoried and monitored. Approximately 26,547 acres would be intensively managed to reduce salinity loads in the Colorado River. Approximately 67,320 acres would be intensively managed as crucial deer and elk winter range. Wildlife would have priority for allocation of future additional forage on 72,342 acres; livestock would have priority on 186,810 acres. Approximately 224,276 acres would be managed as open to off-road vehicle (ORV) use. The Gunnison Gorge WSA would be recommended as preliminarily suitable for designation as wilderness. The Camel Back and Adobe Badlands WSAs would not be recommended as suitable for wilderness designation; multiple-use management would continue. Public lands totalling 110,252 acres would be managed for intensive fire suppression. Public lands on 301,006 acres would be open to development of major utility facilities. A total of 143 tracts (11,026 acres) would be available for disposal. Public access would be acquired for 16 public land areas. Stipulations would be made for cultural resource inventories, comercial forestry, nonmotorized recreation, and visual resource management. POSITIVE IMPACTS: It is anticipated that soil conditions would improve slightly throughout the management area. Intensive management of salinity areas, riparian zones, aquatic habitats, and grazing allotments would benefit the hydrologic condition of water courses. Direct and indirect intensive management would result in improved vegetation conditions in riparian zones. Present big game populations would be maintained. Recreation opportunities would be significantly enhanced and increased. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mineral activities, forest and woodland product harvests, livestock grazing, and ORV use would result in increased sediment and salt yields in portions of the planning area. Increased levels of air pollution are anticipated due to regional growth and development. Restrictive management on portions of the coal planning areas would be likely to increase operating costs and result in scheduling inconvenience for coal companies. Seasonal stipulations on oil and gas activities could increase exploration and development costs to the point of decreasing oil and gas production potential. There would be a loss of 10,000 acres of potential habitat for the Uinta Basin hookless cactus and Delta lomatium due to ORV use.

T1  - PROPOSED UTILITY CORRIDOR RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, ALASKA: CENTRAL ARCTIC MANAGEMENT AREA, WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS.
AN  - 36406758; 1963
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a wilderness management plan for the Central Artic Management Area of Alaska (CAMA) Wilderness Study Area (WSA) is proposed. A draft of this document was published for review and comment as a supplement to the draft Utility Corridor Resource Management Plan in August 1987. All CAMA WSA lands are allocated on the north slope of the Brooks Range within the North Slope Borough. Technically, CAMA also includes an area of approximately 48,000 acres surrounded by the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. An administrative decision was made not to consider this land as part of the CAMA WSA; the land was originally withdrawn as part of a utility and transportation corridor by Public Land Order (PLO) 5182 on March 16, 1972. The utility corridor was to facilitate a proposed gas pipeline route into Canada, but is no longer receiving consideration as a possible pipeline route. On July 8, 1985, under PLO 6607, the utility withdrawal was revoked. The preferred alternative would involve recommendation of an additional 41,000 acres of the 3.68-million-acre CAMA WSA to the National Wilderness Preservation System. The block of land to be designated as wilderness is located in the southwestern corner of CAMA adjacent to the Gates of the Arctic Park and the Noatak National Preserve. Approximately 3.32 million acres would be released from consideration for designation as wilderness; these lands would be placed under a multiple-use management regime. An additional 316,000 acres of the CAMA WSA have already been determined unsuitable for wilderness designation. Management actions in the nondesignated lands would address locatable minerals, energy resources, wildlife management, recreational resources, and subsistence activities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values on 41,000 acres would be preserved and protected for present and future generations. Planned oil and gas developments and hardrock mineral development would be able to go ahead as planned. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 3,800 acres of habitat would be lost, and 63,000 additional acres of habitat would be disturbed. Subsistence use patterns could be affected somewhat. Wilderness values on lands not designated as wilderness would decline. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487) and Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft environmental impact statement (EIS) on the utility corridor and a draft supplement to the draft EIS, see 87-0264D, Volume 11, Number 7, and 88-0158D, Volume 12, Number 5-6, respectively.

T1  - MEDICINE BOW-DIVIDE RESOURCE AREAS (NOW GREAT DIVIDE RESOURCE AREA) RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, RAWLINS DISTRICT, WYOMING.
AN  - 36403541; 1982
AB  - PURPOSE: Options for the future management of federal land and federal mineral estate in the Great Divide Resource Area (formerly the Medicine Bow and Divide resource areas), located in the Rawlins District of southcentral and southeastern Wyoming, are described. The area covered comprises 4 million acres of land, for which the surface and minerals are federally owned, and 1 million additional acres for which only the minerals are federally owned ("split estate"). Under the preferred alternative, intensive resource management would be balanced with the use of restrictions to achieve optimal resource management. The plan would focus on three resource management issues, relating to resource uses that affect vegetation, soils, and watershed values; suitability of areas for special management designations; and opportunities for improving resource accessibility. The Como Bluff area (1,760 acres), two raptor concentration areas (27,500 acres), and the Sand Hills area (8,300 acres) would be designated Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC). A portion of the Baggs Elk Crucial Winter Range would be designated as part of the Jep Canyon ACEC. The area containing Gibben's beardtongue would be withdrawn from locatable mineral location. The Northeast Cow Creek area and Wild Horse Draw would not be considered for coal leasing. A total of 960 acres within proposed and existing national natural landmarks (NNLs) would be considered for disposal to individuals, organizations, agencies, or institutions that would manage these areas in accordance with their NNL status. The areas are scattered public land tracts with no legal access. A total of 66,000 acres of land would be considered for disposal. The allowable forest harvest level would be 20 million board feet (MMBF) per decade. All public lands would be open to utility/transportation systems, but such systems would be located next to existing facilities whenever possible. It is projected that authorized livestock grazing under this alternative would be 186,972 animal unit months (AUMs) in the long term. A total of 52,540 acres of public land containing 411.8 million tons of coal would be acceptable for further consideration for leasing. The planning area would be open to leasing, exploration, and development of oil and gas, with application of standard protection requirements to protect other resource values. The planning area would be open to locatable minerals entry, except for 83,029 acres of withdrawals. Off-road vehicle (ORV) use would be limited to existing roads and trails in the Sand Hills area. There would be 16 wildlife habitat management areas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative includes management actions of the cultural resources program to stabilize and protect significant sites and segments along the Overland Trail, the Cherokee Trail, and the Rawlins-Fort Washakie Trail to ensure the preservation and interpretation of the resources for present and future generations. The ORV designations would provide the maximum benefit to ORV users without unnecessarily restricting users or damaging other resources. Visual resource management would benefit recreation resources by maintaining the quality of the settings of recreation opportunities. Quick suppression of fires in full suppression areas would minimize the amount of soil exposed to erosion. Localization of ORV use might benefit important riparian/wetland habitat values. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Installation of utility systems and other facilities would cause short-term effects on soils, water, and air. Long-term effects would be associated with access routes to utility and transportation facilities. Extensive acreage would be disturbed due to coal leasing, with additional effects due to in situ coal development. Management actions related to development of the Hanna Basin coal area would have an adverse impact on visual resources. LEGAL MANDATES: Classification and Multiple Use Act of 1964 (P.L. 88-6071), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Public Rangelands Improvement Act of 1978 (P.L. 95-514), and Taylor Grazing Act of 1934, as amended (43 U.S.C. 315). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 87-0197D, Volume 11, Number 5.

T1  - WESTSIDE IRRIGATION PROJECT, PICK-SLOAN MISSOURI BASIN PROGRAM, BIG HORN BASIN DIVISION, WYOMING.
AN  - 36406984; 2017
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan for irrigation of 4,068 acres of land along the Big Horn River in north-central Wyoming is proposed. The land is administered by the Bureau of Land Management. The preferred plan would involve construction and operation of a sprinkler irrigation system for the acreage, which would constitute add-on units to 26 farms now irrigated from the Big Horn Canal in Big Horn and Washakie counties. An average add-on would extend 156 acres. Water would be diverted from the Big Horn River for the project, involving releases from the Bureau of Reclamation's Boysen Reservoir during dry periods. Power for project pumping would be provided under the Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin Program. Approximately 15,400 acre-feet of water would be diverted annually from the river. Water would be conveyed 25 to 30 miles through the Big Horn Canal, requiring that the capacity of the canal be increased by 87 cubic feet per second and the addition of an additional gate and more freeboard. Three pumping plants, ranging in capacity from 21 cubic feet per second at 274 feet of total dynamic head to 37 cubic feet per second at 458 total dynamic head, would pump water from the canal. These plants would provide enough pressure to operate farm sprinkler systems. Approximately 11.2 miles of 8- to 36-inch pipe would be needed for the distribution system. The drainage system would consist of 34 miles of relief and interceptor drains, which discharge to natural drainages. Three siphons, 20 farm bridges, 20 turnout structures, four wasteways, and other miscellaneous checks and drop structures would be modified or replaced in the main canal. The estimated cost of constructing the facilities for the preferred plan is $3,880 per acre. Annual operation and maintenance costs are estimated at $29 per acre. All payments would be made by the state of Wyoming. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Water provided by the project would help reverse the decline in the agricultural sector, which, along with the energy sector, comprises the basis for the regional economy. Farm income would increase, and employment rolls would be expanded. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Public rangeland would be converted into irrigated agricultural land. Critical antelope winter range would be lost, and the project could exacerbate drainage problems, soil erosion, and salinity problems. Conversion of public land into cropland could result in the loss of cultural resources; 20 of the estimated 234 archaeological sites in the project area that are eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be disturbed. Levels of water pollutants in the Big Horn River would increase slightly, and iron levels would increase in groundwater. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Order 11593, Federal Reclamation Laws Act of 1902, as amended (32 Stat. 338), Flood Control Act of 1944 (P.L. 78-534), and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

T1  - WHITE SANDS RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT FOR MCGREGOR RANGE, OTERO COUNTY, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36400478; 1972
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for 608,385 acres of withdrawn public land within the McGregor Range in Otero County, south-central New Mexico is proposed. The land was withdrawn for military purposes under 1986 legislation. The preferred management plan would place the highest priority on making public land and resources available for use and development by the public. Land management would allow federal agency issuance of all public demand nonmilitary leases, easements, rights-of-way, and other authorizations only after consultation with the U.S. Army. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) would be the lead agency for projects involving both withdrawn and Army acquired lands. The BLM would issue grants on withdrawn land, while the Army would issue grants on acquired land. Locatable minerals would be closed, although such closures would be reevaluated every five years. BLM would issue oil, gas, and geothermal leases on 100,000 acres. Salable materials disposal would be conducted for materials on 287,360 acres. Other actions would include development of watershed plans for 48,200 acres; assessment of areas for possible prescribed burning activities (220,800 acres) to improve rangelands; designation of four vegetation study sites as Areas of Critical Environmental Concern; designation of 20,940 acres for vegetation sales areas; reservation of forage for wildlife outside livestock grazing areas; revision of the habitat management plans' development of a Tularosa Basin habitat management plan; authorization of predator control; establishment of a Sikes Act Stamp Program on McGregor Range; implementation of a hunting management plan; limitation of off-road vehicle use to designated roads and trails; fencing of Escondida Pueblo to exclude livestock and prevent entry of other potential surface disturbing agents; and issuances of cultural research permits. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Watershed conditions, including soil stability, would improve substantially. Vegetation studies would produce valuable information concerning black grama grasslands. Rangeland burning would result in more vigorous and palatable species for livestock consumption. Predation of livestock would be controlled. Wildlife habitat in the Tularosa Basin would improve significantly. Visual, cultural, and recreational resources would be protected from damage related to surface disturbance from off-road vehicle use and other such activities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Restrictions could place hardships on mineral extraction and geothermal interests. Prescribed burning would result in some short-term reduction in vegetation mass and localized, short-term degradation of air quality. Oil, gas, and geothermal development would result in soil and geologic disturbances; some loss of range resources and endangered species' habitat would be expected. Fencing would restrict access to the Escondida Site. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Military Lands Withdrawal Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-606), and Sikes Act of 1960 (P.L. 86-797).

T1  - SAN RAFAEL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, EMERY COUNTY, UTAH.
AN  - 36401770; 1978
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed for 1.5 million acres of Bureau of Land Management land within the San Rafael Resource Area in Emery County, Utah and the Forest Planning Unit of the Sevier River Resource Area in Sevier County, Utah. The management actions proposed would also cover certain grazing activities in the Henry Mountain Resource Area in Wayne County, Utah. Six alternatives are under consideration. The preferred alternative would be designed to promote the following: (1) protection of critical soils throughout the planning area and scenic resources within the San Rafael Swell; (2) protection of crucial wildlife habitat; (3) provision of special management for certain vegetative species and cultural resource values; and (4) maintenance of existing livestock and mineral uses where no conflict with other listed goals occur. Specific areas addressed under the management plan would include oil and gas resources, coal resources, other mineral materials, soils, water quality, vegetation, wild horse and burro populations, desert big horn sheep, antelope, mule deer, elk, riparian habitat, livestock grazing, forest product use areas, cultural resources, recreational opportunities, off-road vehicle use, visual resource management class actions, lands available for rights-of-way, and socioeconomic conditions. Waiver of stipulations in areas of scenic values would be based on an environmental assessment. All three of the resource area's Areas of Critical Environmental Concern nominated in other alternative management plans would be designated under the preferred alternative; the three undesignated sites would be Hebes Mountain, Little Black Mountain, and Gilson Buttes. The plan would be reviewed at five-year intervals. The estimated annual cost of implementing the management plan is $1.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By guiding management of the public lands and resources in the project areas, the preferred plan would ensure appropriate uses of the associated resources for present and future generations. Petroleum production would increase by 13,200 barrels annually, and annual natural gas production would increase by 330 million cubic feet. Mineral material production would increase by 110,000 cubic yards per year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The management plan would require more intensive management of all resources than is presently provided, resulting in annual management cost increases amounting to nearly $400,000. Approximately 780 acres of antelope habitat would be lost, as would 7,790 acres of livestock grazing area, 36,220 acres of primitive recreational area, and 76,110 acres on which motorized recreation is currently possible.

T1  - PLES I GEOTHERMAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, BISHOP RESOURCE AREA, MONO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36389162; 1941
AB  - PURPOSE: Pacific Energy of Commerce, California has proposed the development of a geothermal wellfield and construction and operation of a 10 megawatt (MW) (net) geothermal power plant on federal land administered by Inyo National Forest in Mono County, California. The project, which would be designated federal geothermal lease CA-11667, would be located in Geothermal Lease Block I within the Mono-Long Valley Known Geothermal Resource Area. This 630-acre lease is located three to four miles east of Town of Mammoth Lakes, in the southwestern portion of the Long Valley Caldera in the Mammoth Creek drainage basin. Project activities would include the drilling, construction, and operation of geothermal production and injection wellfields; the construction and operation of related production pipeline gathering and injection pipeline distribution systems; the construction and operation of a 10 MW (net) binary power plant facility; and construction and operation of control facilities. Geothermal fluid, produced from up to four geothermal production wells located in the vicinity of Casa Diablo Hot Springs, would be directed by surface pipelines to the binary power plant facility. Approximately 5,000 gallons per minute of geothermal fluid would be produced. After heat extraction, the cooled geothermal fluid would be directed from the power plant by surface pipeline to up to four geothermal injection wells and injected into the subsurface injection reservoir. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Permission to construct and operate the power facility would encourage private enterprise in the development of alternative energy resources within appropriate environmental constraints. The geothermal energy produced would constitute a clean, domestic source of power. In addition to a pollution-free source of power, development of geothermal resources would provide a means of reducing the nation's dependence on foreign sources of energy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 13 acres of land would be disturbed during development and operation of the project. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Mining and Minerals Policy Act of 1970 (30 U.S.C. 21a), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and National Materials and Minerals Policy, Research, and Development Act of 1980 (30 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.).

T1  - SUPERCONDUCTING SUPER COLLIDER (SSC).
AN  - 36389757; 1983
AB  - PURPOSE: Selection of a site for the construction and operation of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) is considered. Seven sites are under study. The SSC, which would be the largest scientific instrument ever built, would be a laboratory facility designed to investigate the basic structure of matter. More specifically, the SSC would be a proton accelerator capable of accelerating two beams of protons to energy levels of 20 trillion electron volts. The beams would be directed to collide with one another to create collisions at energies 20 times higher than can be achieved at existing accelerators. The main feature of the SSC would be a 53-mile-long oval tunnel containing the two circulating beams of protons within two rings of superconducting magnets. The instrument would be supported by laboratory facilities situated within a campus, as well as various access and service areas. Relatively substantial additions would be made to road and electric power infrastructures, regardless of the site chosen. Site locations under consideration for construction and operation of the facility include 30 miles southwest of Phoenix in Maricopa County, Arizona; 65 miles northeast of Denver in Adams, Morgan, and Washington counties, Colorado; 40 miles west of Chicago in Kane, DuPage, and Kendall counties, Illinois; 35 miles northwest of Ann Arbor in Ingham and Jackson counties, Michigan; 15 miles north of Durham in Person, Granville, and Durham counties, North Carolina; 30 miles southeast of Nashville in Bedford, Marshall, Rutherford, and Williamson counties, Tennessee; and 25 miles south of Dallas and 35 miles southeast of Fort Worth in Ellis County, Texas. This environmental impact statement addresses the possibility of using different technology, equipment, or building configurations for the SSC, as well as programmatic alternatives, the latter comprising the use of other accelerators, international collaboration, and delaying the project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The basic purpose of the SSC would be to gain a better understanding of the fundamental nature of matter. The SSC would provide the United States with the capability of maintaining its world leadership in the field of high energy physics. In addition to providing scientific data, the SSC could be a source of spin-off technology that could have applications to other fields. Within the past 10 years, the technology developed for high energy physics has made new products possible, including equipment used for medical diagnostics and therapy, improved computer components, and new superconducting magnet technology. Activities at the site would provide numerous employment opportunities, and local, state, and regional economies would generally benefit from SSC-related expenditures. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the SSC would consume appreciable amounts of construction materials, primarily cement. Except for portions of the Arizona site, which are in federal ownership, land used for the SSC would pass from private or state ownership to the Federal Government. At least a short-term decline in local and state tax bases would result from the transfer of lands to federal ownership. Operation of the SSC would require a continuous supply of electric power and water. Some wetlands could be displaced, and habitat of threatened or endangered species could be lost.

T1  - FORT WAINWRIGHT MANEUVER AREA, FAIRBANKS NORTH STAR BOROUGH, ALASKA.
AN  - 36404388; 1956
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a management plan is proposed to address military uses, economic development, recreation, wildlife habitat, and access in association with the use of the Fort Wainwright Maneuver Area of Alaska. The area, commonly known as the Yukon Maneuver Area, is a tract of approximately 248,000 acres lying in the Fairbanks North Star Borough southeast of Fairbanks. The maneuver area is roughly rectangular in shape, spanning 38 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. On February 10, 1986, Judge John H. Pratt issued a preliminary injunction order in National Wildlife Federation v. Buford et al.; the injunction enjoined the Bureau of Land Management from: (1) modifying, terminating, or revoking any withdrawal or classification that was in effect on January 1, 1981 or (2) taking any action inconsistent with the specific restrictions of a withdrawal or classification in effect on January 1, 1981. This military withdrawal may be affected by the lawsuit; therefore, implementation of recommendations in the final plan may be affected by order(s) of the court. Components of the preferred management scheme would address military uses; economic development; recreation; access; forestry; fish and wildlife habitat; air, soils, and vegetation; cultural resources; recreation; rights-of-way; minerals; and subsistence activities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to assuring continued use and expansion of the military uses of the withdrawn areas, the management plan would protect valuable habitat, vegetative cover, water and soil resources, and local socioeconomic uses. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Beyond the effects of the military activities for which the land has been withdrawn and which are beyond the scope of this plan, other unavoidable impacts would result from implementation of the management scheme. 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. Surface mining, whether for sand and gravel or for locatable minerals, would strip soil and vegetation and reduce wildlife habitat in the immediate vicinity of the operation. 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 harvest, road and recreation facility construction, and mining would destroy or alter visual and cultural resources. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Military Lands Withdrawal Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-606), and National Wildlife Federation v. Buford et al.

T1  - FORT GREELY NATIONAL MANEUVER AREA AND FORT GREELY AIR DROP ZONE, ALASKA: RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN.
AN  - 36403340; 1955
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a management plan is proposed 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 of Alaska. The Fort Greely withdrawal, which encompasses the lands under consideration, 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 flows northward through the extreme eastern portion of the Maneuver Area. It separates the readily accessible area to the east, with its gun ranges and installations, from the roadless area in the west. The preferred management regime would maintain the public's current access to the withdrawn areas and examine ways to promote the use of forest, recreation, and mineral values without undermining the military's mission. Military facilities within the withdrawn lands include firing ranges, impact areas, landing strips, and training and maneuver areas. On February 10, 1986, Judge John H. Pratt issued a preliminary injunction order in National Wildlife Federation v. Buford et al.; the injunction enjoined the Bureau of Land Management from: (1) modifying, terminating, or revoking any withdrawal or classification that was in effect on January 1, 1981 or (2) taking any action inconsistent with the specific restrictions of a withdrawal or classification in effect on January 1, 1981. This military withdrawal may be affected by the lawsuit; therefore, implementation of recommendations in the final plan may be affected by order(s) of the court. Management components would address access; air, soil, water, and vegetation resources; fish and wildlife habitat; forestry; cultural resources; fire management; recreation resources; rights-of-way; minerals; and subsistence uses.

T1  - GEORGE P. COLEMAN BRIDGE YORK RIVER CROSSING STUDY, YORK AND GLOUCESTER COUNTIES, VIRGINIA.
AN  - 36400606; 1994
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of a bridge or tunnel and associated approaches to replace the George P. Coleman Bridge across the York River in Virginia is proposed to improve the connection between York and Gloucester counties. The study area for the project includes portions of Gloucester, York, and James City counties and a 20-mile section of the York River. The existing bridge is a two-lane, 0.71-mile facility, with double-swing spans, crossing the York River in southeastern Virginia at Yorktown. It is the only York River crossing south of West Point, a community 30 miles upriver. The project would consist of a limited-access, four-lane facility, with interchanges at major intersecting roads and a design speed of 60 miles per hour (mph) for bridge alteratives and 50 mph for tunnel alternatives. The northern terminus of the project would be Route 17 in Gloucester County and the southern terminus, depending on the alterative chosen, would be either Interstate 64 (I-64) or Route 17 in York County. The relative impacts of implementing seven build alternatives are under consideration, based on traffic, engineering, and environmental factors within the project study area. The facility, either a bridge or a tunnel, would provide for minimum lane widths of 12 feet and require a typical rights-of-way width of 250 feet. Interchanges would be constructed at the project termini. The estimated costs of the seven construction alternatives range from $67 million for reconstruction of the existing bridge to $376 million for tunnel construction. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Bridge construction would expand the vehicular capacity for crossing the York River in the vicinity of the existing George P. Coleman Bridge. The project would thereby alleviate current traffic congestion at the crossing, accommodate projected river crossing traffic to the year 2010, and ease travel between the Tidewater peninsulas; travel between the peninsulas is critical to the continued social and economic health of the region, which includes the rural outlying counties of King and Queen, Middlesex, and Mathews, and the urbanized areas of James City, Hampton, Newport News, and Norfolk. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace as many as 33 families, 172 individuals, and 9 businesses. A portion of the local property tax bases would be lost, and residential, commercial, agricultural, industrial and other lands, possibly including parklands, would be lost. The number of residences affected by traffic noise could increase along the Route 17 corridor. Wetlands would be impacted, and hazardous waste sites could be affected. Numerous historical and archaeological sites could be damaged. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966 (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

The WSAs encompass the scenic lands and waters along the north and west sides of the park and preserve (a linear distance of approximately 120 miles) and in the southwest portion of the park between Chinitna Bay and Redoubt Point (a linear distance of approximately 60 miles). The area includes the glaciated mountain terrain in the extreme northern portion of the park on the divide between the Kuskokwim, Skwentna, and Chilligan rivers; portions of the Stony, Telaquana, Mulchatna, Chilikadrotna, Little Mulchatna, and Kijik rivers; two isolated forested parcels of federal land west of Lake Clark, one near the Chulitna River and the other northwest of Hoknede Mountain; most of the tundra and forestland within the Lower and Upper Tazimina lake drainages; the Black Peak area; the Crescent Lake area; portions on either side of the Crescent River drainage; and the majority of coastal forested lands along Cook Inlet between Chinitna and Tuxedni bays. The preferred management scheme would maintain existing levels of wilderness in the park and preserve; that is, no areas in the Lake Clark National Park and Preserve would be recommended for wilderness designation. Current management practices, as described in the general management plan for the park and preserve, would continue. Several administrative and visitor facilities could be developed within the WSAs; these facilities could include five ranger stations, four air and water quality monitoring stations, five primitive campgrounds, 9.25 miles of trails, and an interpretive sign. Nine fly-in or boat-in lodges on private lands and an unpatented mining claim group on Portage Creek would continue to operate. Visitor use levels would increase from approximately 22,000 at present to approximately 133,000 by 2020, or approximately six percent per annum. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Alaska's recreational carrying capacity would be increased significantly by allowing motorized access within the park, providing other means of access, and utilizing the areas under consideration. Mining in the designated areas would contribute to the state and regional economy and the nation's ability to meet mineral availability requirements. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: None of the primeval qualities of the area, including pristine lakes, rolling tundra-covered hills, wild rivers in the western part of the preserve and the glaciated valleys, steep mountains, coastal plains, coves, and bear habitat along Cook Inlet in the eastern part of the park, would be protected through wilderness designation. Approximately seven acres of spruce/birch would be disturbed or destroyed by possible developments, and opportunities for solitude and primitive recreation would be progressively diminished by visitor activities, particularly those involving the use of airplanes to access private lodges and other recreational destinations. Over the long term, wilderness characteristics of the WSAs would deteriorate, wilderness size would be reduced, and some irreplaceable wilderness values would be lost. Impacts on mining are unknown and uncertain. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED ROCK CREEK/MUDDY CREEK RESERVOIR, ROUTT AND GRAND COUNTIES, COLORADO (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF AUGUST 1987).
AN  - 36400180; 1926
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of a water storage reservoir, located in Grand County in western Colorado, is proposed. During review of the draft environmental impact statement, two projects were considered, namely, the Rock Creek Reservoir in the Routt National Forest and Muddy Creek Reservoir in the Kremmling Resource Area. This supplement to the draft environmental impact statement of August 1987 provides additional analysis of the potential reservoir development at the two sites and proposes the Muddy Creek site for project development. The Muddy Creek project site would be located just west of Wolford Mountain (five miles north of Kremmling, Colorado). The Muddy Creek Dam would be a zoned earthfill dam, with a dam crest located 120 feet above the present streambed. The dam would contain approximately 997,200 cubic yards of fill; the majority of this material would be obtained from borrow areas immediately upstream and downstream of the damsite, resulting in a haul distance of less than one mile. Approximately 42,800 cubic yards of riprap material would have to be hauled 40 miles from a quarry to the east of the project site. An additional 76,700 cubic yards of materials for filters, drains, and concrete aggregate could be supplied by a firm in Kremmling. It would create a 60,000-acre-foot capacity reservoir, which would include 4,000 acre-feet of conservation storage and 6,000 acre-feet of sediment storage. Annual water yield would amount to 23,000 acre-feet. The reservoir would have a surface area of 1,447 acres and extend 5.5 miles up Muddy Creek. The dam would feature a multiple outlet. During construction, Muddy Creek would be diverted through a conduit located on the right side of the streambed. Relocation of a portion of U.S. Highway 40 and two electric transmission lines would be required. A campground and picnic area would be developed in association with the reservoir. The estimated cost of the project is $25.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Muddy Creek Reservoir would primarily be a source of augmentation water. Reservoir operations would fulfill primary demands under the Metro Denver Lease, including provision of water for the Middle Park Water Conservancy District. Releases would be made in exchange for water stored in the Green Mountain Reservoir. Beneficial impacts would include increased recreational use of the reservoirs and associated campgrounds, reservoir fish habitat, and the economic benefits of the recreational use. Releases from the reservoir could also enhance the cold water trout fishery in the tailwater of the dam. Construction activities would result in significant increases in area employment rolls. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The dam and reservoir would displace 822 acres of farmlands. The potential for fogging in the vicinity of the project site would increase. Endangered fish species would be impacted. The area would undergo a long-term social change due to the reservoir and associated development, and would impact wetlands, a candidate federal rare plant, big game habitat (elk and deer), and visual resources. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Order 11593, Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

T1  - NEW MEXICO STATE ROAD 516, SANTA FE-LOS ALAMOS CORRIDOR STUDY, PHASE C, SANTA FE AND LOS ALAMOS COUNTIES, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36403111; 1907
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of a shorter, more direct route from Santa Fe to Los Alamos, through Santa Fe and Los Alamos counties, New Mexico is proposed. The facility, to be known as State Road (S.R.) 516, would be a four-lane, divided highway with limited access control. Three alternatives are under consideration. The 29.8-mile Montoso alignment would begin at the intersection with the planned Santa Fe Relief Route north of the Santa Fe Country Club, proceed to the northwest across the Caja del Rio for approximately 8.5 miles to a point 1.0 mile south of Ortiz Mountain, turn westward to a point 2.0 miles west of Montoso Peak, turn north-northwest to cross White Rock Canyon, across Chaquehui, Ancho, Water, and Potrillo canyons, and follow Pajarito Road to Los Alamos. The 26.3-mile Potrillo alignment would follow the Montoso alignment for just over 6.0 miles, then turn due north for another 6.0 miles, then west to cross the Rio Grande, where it would join S.R. 4 south of the community of White Rock. It would follow S.R. 4 to Pajarito Road and then follow Pajarito Road to the community of Los Alamos. The northernmost Mortandad alternative, which has received the vast majority of endorsements in public meetings and in comments provided by public agencies, would extend 32.5 miles; the alignment would follow the Montoso alignment for 2.0 miles, then proceed north-northwest for a distance of 10.6 miles along the boundary between Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands, following Buckman Road to the vicinity of the Rio Grande. West of the river, the Mortandad alignment would join S.R. 4 at the curve at White Rock and, from that point, split east to Jemez Road, west to Pajarito Road, and on to Los Alamos. All three alternatives would involve construction of a highway bridge across the Rio Grande in the White Rock Canyon area. The terrain from S.R. 4 across White Rock Canyon is mountainous. Due to the high cost of constructing deep cuts and high fills in this area, the lanes would be drawn together through this section. An interchange would be constructed to connect the facility to the Santa Fe Relief Route. Depending on the alternative alignment and various design decisions, cost estimates for the project range from $141.1 million to $192.6 million; project costs do not include the cost of potential acquisition of 109 acres of San Ildefonso lands, for which no cost estimate is available. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Safety conditions in the transportation of hazardous wastes from the Los Alamos National Laboratory to storage facilities would improve, and access from Santa Fe and the surrounding area to the Laboratory would be eased. Egress from the Laboratory for civil defense and other emergency conditions also would be improved. Construction activities would employ 1,143 to 1,560 persons. The Villa Linda Mall in Santa Fe would be more accessible to potential customers. Access to tourist and other recreational attractions in the Bandelier National Monument, the Jemez Mountains, Pajarito Ski Area, and Caja del Rio would improve. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Placement of the bridge across the Rio Grande would degrade the visual quality of White Rock Canyon significantly and could affect the scenic quality of Bandelier National Monument. Rights-of-way acquisition requirements would range from 1,298 to 1,616 acres, and 1,153 to 2,474 acres of grazing lands would be displaced, resulting in a loss of 115 to 247 animal unit months. Retail activity would decrease in Los Alamos. Parklands near Pajarito Acres could be traversed, and the Caja del Rio Gun Club could be displaced. BLM and Forest Service lands would be displaced, reducing payments from these sources in lieu of local tax losses. Three endangered plants and five endangered animals could be impacted, and the Caja wild horse habitat could be traversed. As many as 24 archaeological sites could be affected. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966 (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.) and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - PEABODY COAL COMPANY'S BIG SKY AREA B MINE, ROSEBUD COUNTY, MONTANA.
AN  - 36404048; 1879
AB  - PURPOSE: Issuance of a permit to the Peabody Coal Company (Peabody) for the development of Area B of the Big Sky Mine within the Lee Coulee drainage of Rosebud County, Montana is proposed. Under the proposal, Peabody would expand operations of the existing Big Sky Mine into Area B of the Lee Coulee drainage approximately 6.5 miles south-southwest of the community of Colstrip. The expanded mining area would lie immediately southwest of the current mine. Coal resources in Area B extend both north and south and underlie a portion of Lee Coulee. The coal field is in the shape of a compressed "C," with the open end oriented toward the southeast. Although two coal seams are present in the area, only the Rosebud seam would be mined. The Rosebud seam is approximately 24 feet thick. The stratigraphically lower McKay seam would not be mined due to the high sulfur content that renders it unmarketable. Although the maximum mining limit would vary, depending on overburden depth, topographic features, and mine plan layout, the maximum overburden thickness for the recovery of coal would be approximately 100 feet. Mining north of Lee Coulee would occur for approximately 12.7 years before mining commences in the south block, where mining would continue for 10 years. Coal extraction would be implemented via a conventional form of single-seam strip mining, wherein overburden above the coal is removed in parallel strips across the coal field until the area is completely mined. Coal extraction from Area B would begin in 1989, with 1.9 million tons projected for removal during that year. The coal would be hauled an average of 4.4 miles to the existing truck-dump hopper in Area A, crushed, and conveyed to the existing 29,000-ton-capacity covered slot storage facility. The slot storage facility is located adjacent to a railroad loop, where the coal would be loaded into 110-car-unit trains for shipment to consumers. Some coal could be stored on the ground next to the truck-dump hopper in the event of equipment malfunctions or for blending purposes. A reclamation plan would be incorporated into the mining plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities would produce 2.8 million tons of coal per year on the average, with a possible maximum annual production rate of 4.0 million tons. Over the mine life, the project would produce approximately 64 million tons of coal. Expansion of the area that Peabody could mine would support the employment and economic base of the county which, otherwise, would suffer a significant decline. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities would disturb 3,200 acres of land, surface and groundwater, and associated vegetation and wildlife habitat. Natural and spiritual qualities of the Northern Cheyenne Indians, which are already affected by Peabody mining activities, would continue to be damaged. The influx of workers into the area would place stress on social service resources. Cultural resources would be disturbed or destroyed by mining activities and construction of ancillary facilities. Ambient noise levels would increase, and area aesthetics would be degraded. LEGAL MANDATES: Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.) and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).

T1  - DEATH VALLEY AND JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL MONUMENTS, CALIFORNIA: BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENTS.
AN  - 36389881; 1895
AB  - PURPOSE: Transfer of five parcels of land currently under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to the Joshua Tree and Death Valley National Monuments in California is proposed. The parcels include an 84,389-acre tract on the extreme northern end of Death Valley National Monument, a 26,687-acre tract encompassing Hunter Mountain on the western boundary of Death Valley National Monument, a 14,268-acre tract encompassing Pyramid Peak on the eastern boundary of Death Valley National Monument, a 117,505-acre tract encompassing Greenwater Valley on the eastern boundary of Death Valley National Monument just south of Pyramid Mountain, and a 4,480-acre tract encompassing Pinto Basin on the southern boundary of Joshua Tree National Monument. Approximately 24 percent of the land proposed for transfer is classified by BLM's California Desert Conservation Area Plan as either multiple use class M (moderate use; 38,000 acres) or class I (intensive use; 19,646 acres). The management of these lands after the transfer would not necessarily be in conformance with the Desert Plan. Issues addressed in considering the transfer include: (1) the effects on sensitive plant and wildlife species, particularly Desert Big Horn Sheep and plants in the Sand Spring Area of Critical Environmental Concern; (2) the continued viability of grazing operations, particularly on Hunter Mountain; (3) the future of BLM and National Park Service wild horse and burro management and removal programs; (4) the availability of Hunter Mountain to Native Americans for harvesting pinyon nuts; (5) the status of existing land use authorizations; (6) the capability of each agency to establish and maintain a field presence in the parcels; (7) the future access to transferred parcels by motorized vehicles; (8) the effects of a change in the number of acres recommended for wilderness designation; and (9) the effect of transferring jurisdiction on future mineral development of the parcels. The BLM preferred alternative would involve transfer of the Hunter Mountain and Pinto Basin parcels to the National Park Service as proposed. The Greenwater Valley and Pyramid Peak parcels would also be transferred, but under modified conditions. The North Valley parcel would be transferred as proposed, except that mitigation measures would be undertaken. Modifications to the original proposal would exclude approximately 5,000 acres around the highly mineralized Crater area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Modification of the existing monument boundaries via the transfers would provide more manageable borders and borders that would not split ecological and topographic units. The manageability of the Death Valley National Monument and Hunter Mountain would improve significantly, and a more definite boundary would be established for the Death Valley National Monument. The entirety of the Red Amphitheater and Pyramid Peak would be brought within the monument. Transfer of the large Greenwater Valley Parcel would bring the entire Black Mountain watershed within the monument and would establish a readily identifiable road as the monument's eastern boundary. The Pinto Basin area, which is a proposed BLM wilderness, would be integrated with topographically related lands adjacent to the existing monument boundary. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some impacts could be experienced by motorized recreationists, horses and burros, range operators, and mineral developers. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - BILLINGS RESOURCE AREA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, MONTANA AND WYOMING.
AN  - 36389076; 1898
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a management plan for 29,777 acres within four wilderness study areas (WSAs) in the Billings Resource Area of Montana and in a portion of Wyoming is proposed. The WSAs under consideration include the 6,870-acre Twin Coulee WSA, 16,927-acre Pryor Mountain WSA, 3,430-acre Burnt Timber Canyon WSA, and 2,550-acre Big Horn Tack-On WSA. The Twin Coulee WSA is located in Golden Valley County, Montana, the Burnt Timber Canyon WSA in Carbon County, Montana, and the Pryor Mountain and Big Horn Tack-On WSAs in Carbon County, Montana and Big Horn County, Wyoming. The preferred management scheme would designate the Pryor Mountain, Burnt Timber Canyon, and Big Horn Tack-On WSAs as wilderness and the Twin Coulee WSA as a multiple use area. Emphasis would be placed on timber harvests in the Twin Coulee WSA. Other uses, such as mineral development, could be allowed in the latter WSA, but would be subject to protective stipulations. All land within the Pryor Mountain, Burnt Timber Canyon, and Big Horn Tack-On WSAs would be recommended for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Nonwilderness designation for the Twin Coulee WSA would result in an increase in the wild turkey population from 100 to 125, and motorized recreation would increase from 20 visitor days annually to 170. Timber from the Twin Coulee WSA would contribute to the local and regional economy. Wilderness designation for the other three WSAs would statutorily preserve all of the areas' wilderness values. In the Pryor Mountain WSA, watershed conditions would improve on 11,000 acres due to improved ecological range conditions and on two acres due to cessation of mining claim maintenance. Horse harassment in the Pryor Mountain area would decline. Approximately 700 acres of watershed within the Burnt Timber WSA and 1,600 acres of watershed within the Big Horn Tack-On WSA would be improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness characteristics, primarily naturalness, would be lost on more than 60 percent of the Twin Coulee WSA and degraded on the remainder due to the harvest of 120,000 board feet of timber annually. Erosion would occur on 151 acres due to timber harvests. Fifty visitor days of snowmobile use would be eliminated from the Pryor Mountain WSA, and the opportunity to interpret one cultural site by signing would be foregone. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and a previous final environmental impact statement, see 83-0240D, Volume 7, Number 5, and 84-0025F, Volume 8, Number 1, respectively.

T1  - U.S. HIGHWAY 189, UTAH VALLEY TO HEBER VALLEY, UTAH (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1979).
AN  - 36403295; 1915
AB  - PURPOSE: Widening and realignment of 22 miles of U.S. Highway 189 between its junctions with Utah Route 52 and U.S. 40 in Utah and Wasatch counties, Utah are proposed. This draft environmental impact statement supplements the final environmental impact statement of September 1979 on improvement of roads between the junction of Utah Route 52 with Interstate 15 (I-15) in Orem on the west and the intersection of U.S. 189 with U.S. 40 approximately 0.5 mile south of Heber City on the east. A five-mile section of the 25-mile overall route, from the western terminus to Murdock Diversion in Provo Canyon, has been improved to a four-lane facility. Alternatives under consideration for the present project include: (1) addition of shoulders and left-turn lanes; (2) construction of a full four-lane divided highway section; and (3) construction of a four-lane divided section with a median and minimum pavement and clear zone widths. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Proposed roadway improvements would enhance the capacity and safety of the highway while maintaining the recreational and aesthetic qualities of the canyon. Road realignment would correct substandard geometry to meet current design criteria. Access to developed recreation facilities in Provo Canyon and Heber Valley would be improved significantly, and turnouts would be provided for use by sightseers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 70 to 358 acres of land and could result in displacement of one housing unit and three or four businesses. From 44 to 73 receptors would sustain noise impacts, and 65 to 306 acres of terrestrial habitat would be impacted. Although 6 to 12 acres of wetlands would be impacted by the project, all of this habitat would be replaced at other sites. Approximately 1,530 feet of Provo River would require relocation, and the river would be affected by one to seven river crossings. One archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, one to three public parks, and one recreation area could be affected by the project. As little as 1.0 acre and as much as 162.22 acres of public parkland would be required for rights-of-way. Fisheries could be damaged by construction of earthworks, retaining walls, and bridge structures along 900 to 8,700 linear feet of riverbank. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Federal Aid Highway Act of 1968 (23 U.S.C. 128(a)), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - Archeology and the Federal Government.
AN  - 62962465; ED330597
AB  - The U.S. Government's concern for preservation of important archeological properties began during the 19th century in response to the destruction and looting of Indian ruins in the U.S. Southwest. Since that time, the breadth of this concern has grown to include the consideration of impact to archeological properties, as well as to other kinds of cultural resources, by most Federal activities. This issue of the CRM Bulletin provides a comprehensive description of the federal government's involvement in the interpretation, management and preservation of the U.S. archeological heritage. A wide range of agencies and activities are involved in federal archeology at the national, state, and local levels, and all of the archeological work this encompasses is referred to as the Federal Archeology Program. The following articles are included: "Managing Our Nation's Archeological Resources for Future Generations" (Jerry L. Rogers); "Current Directions in the Federal Archeology Program" (Bennie C. Keel); "The Society for American Archeology and the Federal Archeology Program" (Kathleen M. Reinburg); "Society of Professional Archeologists and the Federal Archeology Program: Standards" (J. Ned Woodall); "State Historic Preservation Officers and the Federal Archeology Program" (Valerie Talmadge); "History of the Federal Archeology Program" (Edwin C. Bears); "Federal Archeology in Indian Country" (Donald R. Sutherland); "The Lake Clark Sociocultural Project" (Ted Birkedal); "Public Participation in Archeological Investigations on Federal Lands" (Jilia O. Elmendorf); "Public Awareness of Federal Archeology" (adapted from a handbook); Arizona Archeology Week: Expanding Public Awareness through a Federal and State Partnership" (Teresa L. Hoffman); and "Looters of the Past: An Enforcement Problem in the Pacific Northwest" (Lynell Schalk). There is also a series of brief descriptions of how various departments and agencies intersect with the Federal Archeology Program, as well as a brief concluding article on awards for archeological achievement by Robert F. Crecco. (DB)

T1  - PLACER MINING ON THE MINTO FLATS WATERSHED, ALASKA.
AN  - 36396916; 1884
AB  - PURPOSE: Continued management of placer mining claims on federal lands within the 2.2-million-acre Minto Flats watershed in Alaska is proposed. The Minto Flats drainage consists of the rivers and creeks that flow out of the Tanana Hills and into the marshy lowlands west of Fairbanks. The major streams of Minto Flats are the Chatanika and Tolovana rivers and Goldstream Creek. On May 14, 1987, the United States District Court for the District of Alaska instructed the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to cease approving plans of operations for federal placer mines after October 1, 1987 in the Birch Creek watershed, pending completion of an adequate assessment of the cumulative effects of mining via an environmental impact statement. Additional injunctions followed, covering the watersheds of Beaver Creek, the Fortymile River, and Minto Flats. On July 22, 1987, the Court issued an amendment to the May 14 and May 28 orders, extending the date of cessation to November 15, 1987. Mining activities, under the preferred management plan, would be similar to those that occurred during the 1987 mining season. BLM would manage placer mining in the Minto Flats drainage according to Alaska state water quality standards, with federal variances. Reclamation activities would be required to reshape tailings to approximate the surrounding physiography and spread the overburden and available topsoil over the reshaped tailings. Settling ponds would be similarly reclaimed. The stream bypass would be stabilized or reinforced to make it the permanent channel. The reclaimed site would be allowed to revegetate naturally. Water quality performance standards would be 0.2 milliliters per liter of settleable solids and 5 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU) above natural conditions when natural turbidity is 50 NTU or less, with not more than a 10 percent increase in the turbidity when the natural turbidity is 50 NTU, not to exceed a maximum increase of 25 NTU at the mine effluent discharge point. Under the proposed alternative, a total of 37 mines (12 federal and 25 state and private) would be operating continuously over the next 10 years in the watershed. Annual costs for all federal mining operations are estimated at $62,400 for water treatment and $24,000 for reclamation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Minerals made available due to mining activities would include tin, tungsten, gold, tantalum, silver, uranium, and rare-earth elements. Motorized recreational access would be enhanced due to construction of roads associated with mining. It is likely that mining employment, total employment, mining income, and total income in the area would increase significantly over the next 10 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 136 acres would regrow as riparian tall shrub within 30 years of reclamation, and an additional 64 acres would regrow within 50 years on mining disturbance in creek bottoms. Approximately 651 acres of mined land would remain barren or sparsely vegetated; approximately 5,240 acres of wildlife habitat would be physically altered due to mining in the watershed. Periodic disturbance to wildlife due to human activities and operation of vehicles and machinery would affect as much as 56,670 acres. Approximately 761 acres of upland riparian habitat would be lost for 30 to 50 years in the upper Chatanika, upper Goldstream /Cleary Summit, and upper Tolovana/Livengood areas. A minimal reduction in the moose herd would result. Physical alteration of streams and increases in suspended sediment from mining in the basin would result in unknown cumulative effects on the aquatic resources of the area. Ongoing sediment redeposition could affect subsistence activities downstream of mining areas. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and General Mining Law of 1872, as amended (30 U.S.C. 22 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED TRANS-ALASKA GAS SYSTEM, ALASKA.
AN  - 36406171; 1875
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of a Trans-Alaska Gas System (TAGS) as a 796.5-mile buried, chilled, high-pressure, 36-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline between Prudhoe Bay and a tidewater terminal and liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant at Anderson Bay, Alaska is proposed. TAGS would parallel the existing Trans-Alaska oil pipeline system in its entirety and a portion of the authorized but as yet unconstructed Alaska Natural Gas Transportation System. TAGS would include 10 compressor stations constructed at regular intervals along the pipeline to provide pressures ranging from 1,100 to 2,220 pounds per square inch, an LNG plant that would include four LNG processing units to liquefy gas at minus 259 degrees Fahrenheit, four LNG tanks, and marine terminal facilities. The operations and control center for the TAGS projects would be located in Valdez, headquarters and administration offices would be located in Anchorage, and maintenance facilities in Fairbanks. TAGS would have a throughput of 2.3 billion cubic feet of conditioned natural gas. Gas pumped and processed by TAGS would be liquefied and exported by tanker to Japan, Taiwan, and Korea. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Exports of LNG allowed by the TAGS system at full operating potential would reduce the U.S. balance of trade deficit by $2.5 billion annually. Construction and maintenance of TAGS would provide substantial support to the area employment base. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: An employment boom during construction of TAGS would result in high levels of unemployment following the completion of the project, placing some burden on state and local social services. Approximately 23,000 acres of vegetated land would be cleared during construction, and moderate but long-term land use impacts would affect approximately 8,000 acres within the pipeline rights-of-way and areas occupied by related facilities. Operation of the terminal, compressor stations, and LNG plant would cause ongoing disruptions to ambient environments. Some surface and groundwater would be consumed during construction, and streams would be affected by turbidity. The marine terminal would displace 100 acres of benthic habitat, and an undetermined loss of seabird and waterfowl habitat would occur at Anderson Bay. Disturbance of 3,200 acres of wetlands would occur, and Dall sheep winter range would be disturbed. Riparian moose habitat and swan and loon habitat would be displaced, and large game mortalities would occur in the Delta Junction area. Disturbance of endangered Arctic peregrine falcons and their prey could result from construction activities. Wilderness and other recreational values would be reduced in the area, and subsistence resources would be disturbed during construction. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Natural Gas Act, as amended (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - DENALI NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERVE, ALASKA: WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATION.
AN  - 36401188; 1816
AB  - PURPOSE: Expansion of the Denali wilderness area within the Denali National Park and Preserve of Alaska is proposed. Approximately 3.7 million acres, or 62 percent, of the park were found suitable for wilderness designation; these lands constitute the study area, which encompasses three discrete subareas. The proposed action would involve designation of 2.25 million acres, or 60 percent of the wilderness suitable lands in the study area, for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. Most of the new park additions would be added to the wilderness system. The suitable lands excluded from wilderness would include all of the preserves plus several scattered areas under consideration for cabin and trail development, areas that have been mined in the past, and areas along the boundary identified for possible land exchange. Development and land use would include the existing mountaineering base camps on the Kahiltna and Ruth glaciers, accommodating a total of 5,000 climbers and backpackers per year by the year 2020; commercial dogsledding camps on the Ruth Glacier, serving approximately 500 people per year; two public use cabins and 10 miles of trails in the lower Ruth Glacier area and two cabins and 10 miles of trails in the lower Tokositna Glacier area, together accommodating an estimated 10,000 visits per year; a 20-room lodge on private property at Lake Chilchukabena and five visitor cabins on private property at five different lake sites east of Lake Minchumina, together accommodating an estimated 1,000 visits per year; and up to 10 cabins or tent frames on private small tracts or native allotments. Mining would continue in the Kantishna Hills mining district, outside the study area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Designation of the 2.25 million acres as wilderness would protect the highest peaks on the south side of the Alaska Range, including the Mount McKinley massif, as well as the vast stream-dissected lowlands north and west of the Alaska Range. The park and preserve would serve approximately 644,000 visitors per year by the year 2020. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the land designation scheme as proposed would fail to protect the lower peaks of that portion of the Alaska Range within the study area, and would not protect major rivers of the Yentna drainage in the southern preserve; the lowland forest area dotted with hundreds of lakes, ponds, and bogs in the northern preserve; or the lower ends of the Ruth and Tokositna glaciers in the park. Over time, the scenic grandeur and the remote, pristine character of the unprotected lands and adjacent wilderness lands would be eroded by the sights and sounds of airplanes, camps, and other recreational developments. The silence and tranquil beauty of Chilchukabena Lake and five smaller lakes east of Lake Minchumina would be disturbed by the site and sounds of airplanes landing and taking off from the lakes and by other visitor activities. Park /preserve populations of trumpeter swans, moose, and brown and grizzly bears would decline slightly due to infringements on their habitats in the lower Ruth Glacier and lower Tokositna Glacier areas and in the northern preserve. Mining activities in the Kantishna Hills would intrude visually and auditorily on the vistas enjoyed by hikers moving along certain promontories within adjacent wilderness areas.

T1  - SAN PEDRO RIVER RIPARIAN MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE SAN PEDRO RIVER EIS AREA, COCHISE COUNTY, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36407382; 1824
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a riparian management plan for the San Pedro River in western Cochise County, Arizona is proposed. The subject lands, acquired through private and state exchanges in 1986, total 47,668 acres. The lands were historically referred to as the San Juan de las Boquillas y Nogales and the San Rafael de Valle land grants. Issues addressed during development of the preferred management plan and alternatives to that plan included wildlife habitat, sand and gravel operations, recreational use and development, protection of cultural and paleontological resources, and water quality and quantity. The preferred management plan would stress certain traditional multiple-use activities and prohibit others. The plan would permit significant developed and undeveloped recreational use and stress actions designed to protect and enhance vegetation, wildlife habitat, water, and cultural/paleontological resources. Specific actions to be implemented under the plan would cover recreational uses; provide for future rights-of-way across the area; conserve groundwater resources; determine the condition and status of wildlife within the area; allow for consumptive and nonconsumptive use of fish and wildlife; provide for reintroduction of native wildlife, including threatened and endangered species; maintain and enhance the vegetation communities, as well as associated soils and the watershed; implement a wildfire control program; preserve and enhance the scientific values of cultural and paleontological resources; prohibit mineral developments; and protect the outstanding scenic values of the surroundings. Developed recreation would be limited to four large and nine small sites. The entire area would be designated as an area of critical environmental concern, and three resource natural areas would receive special attention. The necessary administrative facilities would be constructed and maintained. In addition, facilities would be provided for the implementation of a variety of research programs. Approximately 86 percent of the scenic riparian corridor would be placed in classes I and II for visual resource management purposes. Ten sites would be open to allow public access to and interpretation of cultural resources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would protect and enhance the riparian ecosystem and the area's historic and prehistoric values. Wildlife habitat improvement projects would benefit a number of resource values. Seedlings, natural revegetation, and prescribed fires would enhance vegetation within the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased recreational use in the area would result in minor adverse impacts to major riparian resources within the area. The entire area would be closed to mineral entry, preventing possible advantageous prospecting, exploration, or development of these resources. The area would also be closed to use by off-road vehicles. LEGAL MANDATES: Archaeological Resources Protection Act, Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

T1  - PRELIMINARY WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NEVADA CONTIGUOUS LANDS, CLARK, LINCOLN, WHITE PINE, AND HUMBOLDT COUNTIES, NEVADA.
AN  - 36389083; 1831
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for 200,918 acres of public land within 14 wilderness study areas (WSAs) in Clark, Lincoln, White Pine, and Humboldt counties, Nevada is proposed. The WSAs under consideration, which lie in the Las Vegas, Ely, and Winnemucca districts, include the 19,150-acre Marble Canyon WSA, 34,680-acre Lime Canyon WSA, 21,296-acre Million Hills WSA, 11,835-acre Garrett Buttes WSA, 12,145-acre Quail Springs WSA, 12,290-acre El Dorado WSA, 14,994-acre Ireteba Peaks WSA, 3,466-acre Jumbo Springs WSA, 5,718-acre Nellis ABC WSA, 2,694-acre Evergreen ABC WSA, 12,316-acre Lahontan Cutthroat Trout Natural Area WSA, and Fish and Wildlife Numbers 1, 2, and 3 (11,090 acres, 17,242 acres, and 22,002 acres, respectively). The preferred alternative would involve designation of 8,300 acres within the Marble Canyon WSA and 13,895 acres within the Lime Canyon WSA as suitable for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. All other WSAs under consideration would be considered as unsuitable for inclusion in the national system and would be managed for multiple uses. Issues addressed in the development of land use plans would include wilderness values, motorized recreational uses, development of utilities and material sites, impacts on threatened and endangered species and other wildlife and plant life, military overflights, cultural resources, exploration and development of energy and nonenergy minerals, reintroduction of certain wildlife species, livestock development and maintenance, water resources, and private inholdings. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness and associated natural values within the two areas to be preserved would be protected against human encroachment and alteration. WSA land designated as unsuitable for wilderness designation would be open to effective, manipulative management techniques and multiple uses, including recreation, mining, livestock, and water resource developments. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: WSA land not included in the National Wilderness Preservation System would be subject to actions that would lead to degradation of wilderness values and the loss of primitiveness and solitude characteristics. Wilderness system lands would be closed to economic activities that could otherwise contribute to local economies. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - KATMAI NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERVE, ALASKA: WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATION.
AN  - 36399768; 1818
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land management plan is proposed for wilderness study areas (WSAs) within the Katmai National Park and Preserve, recently proposed for inclusion within the national wilderness system. Of the 4.1 million acres in the Katmai National Park and Preserve, approximately 3.0 million acres in the park were designated as wilderness. The area generally covers the southern 75 percent of the park and includes the Aleutian Range, the major portion of the lake and river country west of the mountains, and the rugged coastal mountains and Pacific coastline to the east. The preferred management alternative would designate 294,901 acres of suitable lands and waters as wilderness. The WSA land to be designated as wilderness, which encompasses 46 percent of the WSA land under consideration, would include the lands and waters in Katmai's river and lake country and along the rugged Pacific coast. More specifically, 245,284 acres would be designated as wilderness, while 49,617 acres would be designated as a potential wilderness addition. Approximately 348,547 acres would be excluded from wilderness designation and would remain open to future development. Development in areas adjacent to the recommended wilderness could include a seasonal ranger camp at Kukak Bay on the Pacific Coast. In or near the excluded area, a new private lodge could be developed at the outlet of Kukaklek Lake and a three-site primitive campground could be developed near the outlet of Nonvianuk Lake. Additional single-family dwellings and a lodge could be developed on private lands west of Naknek Lake; these lands have been found unsuitable for wilderness. Recreational visits would increase from 8,625 per year to 12,800 per year by 2020. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values on up to 46 percent of the WSA, including a portion of the river and lake country in the northern part of the park, approximately 75 percent of the bear denning habitat (some 200,000 acres), and all of the study area along the rugged Pacific Coast, would receive the additional protection of wilderness designation. Subsistence activities would not be marred. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Possible developments would disturb approximately 10.5 acres of willow /alder vegetation. The pristine naturalness of areas adjacent to the developed areas would be progressively disrupted by airplane landings and overflights. The 54 percent of the WSA land excluded from wilderness designation would be available for future development and use, which over the long term would probably result in major deterioration of wilderness characteristics, reduction in wilderness size, and destruction of some wilderness values that would be irreplaceable. Over the short term, approximately five acres of willow/alder vegetation at Kukak Bay would be directly affected by developmental activities. Solitude would be disrupted at each of these sites by visitor and administrative activities. The cultural setting would gradually change from primitive to developed, with the resulting loss in scenic values. Impacts on mining activities are unknown. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487), Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1972 (43 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - KOBUK VALLEY NATIONAL PARK, ALASKA: WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATION.
AN  - 36388596; 1820
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land management plan for an additional wilderness study area (WSA) within the Kobuk Valley National Park of Alaska is proposed. The study area encompasses approximately 1.5 million acres with a varied but integrated ecosystem, set in a vast, unaltered landscape. Abundant wildlife, major free-flowing clear-water streams, a tundra vegetational mosaic, heath-covered valleys, boreal interior forests, and well-drained highlands characterize the WSA. The Kobuk River passes across the southern portion of the WSA and is the major surface access route to and through the park. The preferred alternative would involve designation of 414,720 acres, or 27 percent of the WSA, as wilderness. All of the Salmon River drainage would be included in the National Wilderness Preservation System. The Salmon River is the largest tributary of the Kobuk River in the park and is designated as a wild and scenic river. The area designated for wilderness would contain 13 native allotment parcels, all on the banks of the Kobuk River; these allotments are used primarily as seasonal base camps for subsistence activities. Areas within the WSA that would not be recommended for inclusion in the wilderness system would include the Kallarichuk, Tutuksuk, Kaliguricheark, Hunt, and Akillik river valleys from their upper reaches in the Baird Mountains to the muskeg and wet tundra expanses of the broad Kobuk Valley to their confluence with the Kobuk River. The land south of the river is a broad, open lowland of wet tundra, muskeg, and innumerable small thaw lakes and bogs. Possible development activities that could take place under the preferred alternative would include construction of a temporary air and water quality monitoring station, covering no more than 500 square feet, near the junction of the Kobuk and salmon rivers; a primitive, 10-acre campground with 20 sites, a kiosk, other interpretive information, and restroom facilities on the north bank of the Kobuk River near the mouth of Kavet Creek; a permanent ranger station, covering 1,500 square feet, on the south side of the Kobuk River near Onion Protage; and, possibly, small lodges on one or two native allotments along the Kobuk River. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would result in protection of opportunities for solitude and typical wilderness recreation activities, including hiking, fishing, wildlife viewing, primitive camping, boating, photography, and, during winter periods, cross-country skiing and dog mushing. The entire drainage of the Wild and Scenic Salmon River would be protected from substantial human encroachment. Subsistence activities in the WSA would remain unaffected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Less than 15 acres of vegetation would be disturbed by possible developments. Solitude and the natural setting in the immediate vicinity of the monitoring station would be disrupted. Excluding 73 percent of the WSA from wilderness designation would allow the naturalness, solitude, and primitive values in the affected areas to deteriorate gradually over the long term. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487), Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1972 (43 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - PLACER MINING ON THE FORTYMILE RIVER WATERSHED, ALASKA.
AN  - 36399805; 1809
AB  - PURPOSE: Continued management of placer mining claims on federal lands within the 3.1-million-acre Fortymile River watershed in the upper Yukon-Canada subregion of Alaska is proposed. The Fortymile River is formed at the junction of its North and South forks and flows northeast approximately 60 miles to its mouth at the Yukon River, approximately 30 miles southeast of Eagle, Alaska. The majority of lands within the Fortymile River watershed below the intersection of the North Fork and the Main Stem have been tentatively approved for conveyance to the state of Alaska. On May 14, 1987, the United States District Court for the District of Alaska instructed the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to cease approving plans of operations for federal placer mines after October 1, 1987 in the Birch Creek watershed, pending completion of an adequate assessment of cumulative effects of mining via an Environmental Impact Statement. Additional injunctions followed, covering the watersheds of Beaver Creek, the Fortymile River, and Minto Flats. On July 22, 1987, the court issued an amendment to the May 14 and May 28 orders, extending the date of cessation to November 15, 1987. Mining activities, under the preferred management plan, would be similar to those that occurred during the 1987 mining season. BLM would manage placer mining according to Alaska state water quality standards, with federal variances. Reclamation activities would be required to reshape tailings to approximate the surrounding physiography and spread the overburden and available topsoil over the reshaped tailings. Settling ponds would be similarly reclaimed. The stream bypass would be stabilized or reinforced to make it the permanent channel. The reclaimed site would be allowed to revegetate naturally. Water quality performance standards would be 0.2 milliliters per liter of settleable solids and five Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU) above natural conditions when natural turbidity is 50 NTU or less and not more than a 10 percent increase in the turbidity when the natural turbidity is 50 NTU, not to exceed a maximum increase of 25 NTU at the mine effluent discharge point. Under the proposed alternative, a total of 37 mines (20 federal and 17 state and private) would be operating continuously over the next 10 years in the watershed; most of the mines would operate in the Mosquito-South Fork, Wade, and Canyon Creek drainages. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Minerals made available due to mining activities would include tin, tungsten, gold, tantalum, silver, uranium, and rare-earth elements. Motorized recreational access would be enhanced due to construction of roads associated with mining. It is likely that mining employment, total employment, mining income, and total income in the area would increase significantly over the next 10 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Soil profiles would be completely altered and vegetation destroyed by mining operations on approximately 851 acres of land. Water quality would be affected by short- to long-term increases in suspended sediments and turbidity and accelerated local erosion, resulting in a possible increase in sedimentation introduced into the stream bypass in the vicinity of the disturbed area. The impact of sedimentation on water quality from nonpoint sources is uncertain. Approximately 155 acres would regrow as riparian tall shrub within 30 years of reclamation, and an additional 222 acres would regrow within 50 years on mining disturbance in creek bottoms. Approximately 632 acres of mined land would remain barren or sparsely vegetated. Some 3,209 acres of wildlife habitat would be physically altered due to mining in the watershed. Periodic disturbance to wildlife due to operation of vehicles and machinery and human activities would affect as much as 220,343 acres. Approximately 851 acres of upland riparian habitat would be lost in the Wade Creek and Walker Fork drainages, the vicinity of Chicken, and other areas for 30 to 50 years. A minimal reduction in the moose herd would result. Mining activities could affect three candidate threatened or endangered species and three endemic species. Physical alteration of streams and increases in suspended sediment from mining in the basin would result in unknown cumulative effects on the aquatic resources of the area. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and General Mining Law of 1872, as amended (30 U.S.C. 22 et seq.).

T1  - COLORADO RIVER WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, MCELMO CREEK SALINITY CONTROL UNIT, MONTEZUMA COUNTY, COLORADO.
AN  - 36400977; 1858
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of irrigation water delivery and management improvements within the McElmo Creek Salinity Control Unit of the Colorado River Basin is proposed. The unit lies in Montezuma County, Colorado. The study area lies in the southwestern corner of the state between prominent physiographic features such as Mesa Verde rising to an elevation of approximately 8,400 feet on the southeast, Ute Mountain rising to approximately 10,000 feet on the southwest, and the Dolores River Canyon to the northeast. The improvement plan would involve installation of sprinkler irrigation systems operating with gravity and pumped pressure on 19,700 acres of irrigated land. The off-farm group ditches would be placed in pipe to preserve gravity pressure for 10,400 acres, and pumps would be added at the farm to develop sufficient pressure to operate sprinklers for 9,300 acres being converted to sprinkler irrigation. Pipelines, gated pipe, or ditch lining would be installed to reduce ditch seepage from 1,850 acres of irrigated land not converted to sprinklers. The estimated cost of the project is $29.75 million; this amount includes $17.2 million for on-farm improvements, $4.6 million for administrative and technical assistance, and $1.8 million for education and evaluation. After the recommended plan is fully implemented, the annual local cost for operation, maintenance, and replacement is estimated at $184,300. The capitalized annual cost including operation, maintenance, and replacement is estimated at $3.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan measures would decrease salt delivered to the Colorado River from McElmo Creek from 60,000 tons per year to 22,000 tons per year. Salinity concentrations at the Imperial Dam would be reduced 3.9 milligrams per liter. Local benefits resulting from these improvements would be reflected in a reduced cost of production, improved irrigation systems, and increased crop yields. Capitalized annual benefits from the project would amount to $3.7 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 1,670 acres of a total of 11,000 acres of wetlands would be destroyed by project measures. Wetlands in the project area resulted largely from the introduction of irrigation to the area approximately 75 years ago. As irrigation systems are made more efficient, water seepage that feeds these wetlands would be reduced and the wetlands would be converted to more xeric forms. LEGAL MANDATES: Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-320), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Soil Conservation Act of 1935 (P.L. 46).

T1  - CAPE KRUSENSTERN NATIONAL MONUMENT, ALASKA: WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATION.
AN  - 36381690; 1815
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a management plan for the wilderness study area (WSA) within the Cape Krusenstern National Monument of Alaska is proposed. The 633,587-acre WSA lies north of Kotzebue and above the Arctic Circle. It is characterized by a coastal plain dotted with sizable lagoons and backed by gently rolling limestone hills. On the east, the coastal plain meets an ancient sea cliff now mantled with tundra and blue-gray limestone rubble. The monument's highest point is Mt. Noak (elevation 2,010 feet) in the Igichuk Hills in the southeastern portion of the monument. The entire WSA lies within the Cape Krusenstern National Historic Landmark and the Cape Krusenstern Archaeological District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Sixteen native cemetery and historic sites are the subjects of applications under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1972. Under the proposed plan, approximately 465,007 acres, or 74 percent of the study area, would be recommended for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. An additional 2,193 acres within the WSA would be recommended for potential inclusion within the national system. Approximately 166,387 acres would be excluded from wilderness designation and could be subject to future development and intrusive uses. Administrative and visitor facilities that might be developed within the designated wilderness area under the preferred action would include a ranger station at Imik Lagoon, three boundary marker signs at trail entry points, and a safety cabin four miles north of Krusenstern Lagoon. These developments would be allowable uses in a designated wilderness area. In addition, several facilities could be built in the area excluded from wilderness designation; these facilities include a ranger station and interpretive sign at Aniak and three boundary marker signs at trail entry points. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the wilderness values of the central portion of the monument, including the ecological integrity of most of the broad coastal plain, thermokarst topography, and wildlife habitat would be preserved by wilderness designation. Opportunities for primitive recreation would be preserved on up to 74 percent of the WSA. Subsistence activities would be preserved and protected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Over the short-term, a total of 0.75 acre of tundra would be affected by development at three separate sites, namely Aniak, Imik Lagoon, and a point four miles north of Krusenstern Lagoon. Solitude in the immediate vicinity of each site would be disrupted. The natural setting would change from primitive to developed, and the scenic quality would be degraded. The visibility of structures for up to two miles across the fat tundra landscape would intrude on the area's natural setting. Exclusion of approximately 26 percent of the WSA from wilderness designation would continue the potential for future development and use in the moist tundra of the northwestern part of the monument, the rolling tundra in the southeast, and the southern coastline, including the outstanding beach ridge complex and its significant archaeological resources. Naturalness, solitude, and opportunities for primitive recreation in these areas would gradually deteriorate. There would also be potential for increased indirect threats to archaeological resources in the beach ridge complex. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487), Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1972 (43 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - ANIAKCHAK NATIONAL MONUMENT AND PRESERVE, ALASKA: WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATION.
AN  - 36405872; 1814
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a management plan, with emphasis on wilderness designations, is proposed for the 602,779-acre Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve of Alaska. The major feature of the monument /preserve is the Aniakchak caldera. The northeast-trending Aleutian Mountain range runs diagonally across the preserve, dividing the Pacific Coast area from the Cinder River and Meshik River drainages. The preferred plan would involve designation of 293,336 acres, or 49 percent, of the monument/preserve as wilderness. The special values that would receive additional protection include 5 percent of the coastline, 50 percent of the Aleutian Range and Bristol Bay lowlands, a large waterfall on Lava Creek, the Aniakchak Wild River, 50 percent of the Cinder River, 5 percent of the coastal strand vegetation, tundra shrubland, and habitat for moose, caribou, brown and grizzly bear, wolves, bald eagles, peregrine falcons, and salmon. Expected development and use would include an existing cabin at the mouth of the Aniakchak River that is used as a seasonal ranger station and that would be used for public purposes, two existing commercial sport hunting camps, two new cabins on the North Fork, and oil and gas and mineral exploration activities. The only proposed development that would lie within the recommended wilderness area would be the ranger station. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values on 49 percent of the study area would be additionally protected by wilderness designation. Habitat, scenic views, and opportunities for solitude and primitive recreation would be protected from encroachment by unnatural forces. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values on the 51 percent of the study area that are not protected by wilderness designation would be subject to impairment due to future development activities. Scenic quality, solitude, and special natural features in the unprotected areas would be subject to gradual degradation. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - EASTERN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA PLANNING UNIT: WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SECTION 202 WILDERNESS STUDY AREAS.
AN  - 36405844; 1810
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of management plans for four wilderness study areas (WSAs), encompassing approximately 9,500 acres, within the Eastern San Diego County Planning Unit of the El Centro Resource Area of the California Desert District is proposed. The areas under consideration include the 2,131-acre San Ysidro Mountain WSA, the 3,892-acre Sawtooth Mountains A WSA, the 2,509-acre Sawtooth Mountains C WSA, and the 958-acre Table Mountain WSA. Issues under consideration for the various WSAs include wilderness values, general recreation opportunities, cultural resources, sensitive plant species, fire suppression, threatened or endangered species, raptor populations and habitats, mineral development, apiary use on public land, livestock grazing, reintroduction of peninsular bighorn sheep, land tenure adjustments, and vegetation management. The preferred management plan would recommend that none of the land within any of the four WSAs be included in the National Wilderness Preservation System. Current multiple-use management plans would be continued for all WSAs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Current management plans would adequately serve the environmental, recreational, and economic needs of the WSAs and associated populations. Land and resource management actions, which would not have been allowed had the WSAs been designated as wilderness, would help preserve and protect sensitive environments and allow for enhancement of others. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Removal of the WSAs from consideration for inclusion in the wilderness system could result in human encroachments that may degrade the wilderness values of solitude and primitive recreation. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft environmental impact statement (EIS) and two previous final EISs on WSA issues in the Eastern San Diego County area, see 80-0806D, Volume 4, Number 10; 81-0093F, Volume 5, Number 2; and 86-0368F, Volume 10, Number 9, respectively.

T1  - NOATAK NATIONAL PRESERVE, ALASKA: WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATION.
AN  - 36402742; 1821
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a management plan for the wilderness study area of the 6.5-million-acre Noatak National Preserve of Alaska is proposed. In 1980, approximately 5.8 million acres, or 89 percent of the preserve, were designated for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980. The wilderness study area encompasses all of the lands determined technically suitable for wilderness designation, including 757,175 acres that lie within the southwestern portion of the preserve. The Maiyumerak Mountains run down the center of the wilderness study area, which extends 45 miles east to west and 48 miles north to south. The preferred management alternative would recommend inclusion of the 757,175-acre area, currently designated as suitable for wilderness, in the National Wilderness Preservation System. Facility development within the wilderness area could include a seasonal ranger station and an air and water quality monitoring station, both near the confluence of the Agashashok and Noatak rivers. Visitor use would increase from 100 per year at present to approximately 650 per year in the year 2020. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the wilderness values of almost 100 percent of the study area would be protected through wilderness designation. These include the opportunity for primitive recreation experiences, solitude, unimpaired vistas, undeveloped natural landscape, important Dall sheep and other habitat, and caribou winter range in the Maiyumerak Mountains and Igichuk Hills. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 0.25 acre of land would be disturbed by facility developments, and wilderness values, including naturalness, solitude, and opportunities for primitive recreation, would be progressively disrupted by increased visitor activities. Airplane overflights and landings would be a particularly incongruous form of disruption. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487), Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1972 (43 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - GLACIER BAY NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERVE, ALASKA: WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATION.
AN  - 36381724; 1817
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a management plan for the wilderness study area within the 3.3-million-acre Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve of Alaska is proposed. The lands and waters considered for wilderness designation are Muir Inlet, Wachusett Inlet, Alsek Lake, an unnamed island adjacent to Blue Mouse Cove, Cenotaph Island, two parcels of land in the vicinity of Gateway Knob, and the Deception Hills east of the Doame River. In addition, the study includes all of the waters currently included in wilderness: The Beardslee Islands, Adams Entrance, Rendu Inlet, Hugh Miller Inlet, Scidmore Bay, Charpentier Inlet, and Dundas Bay. These lands and waters are scattered throughout the national park and preserve. The preferred management alternative for the wilderness study area recommends wilderness designation of Muir Inlet above Sealers Island, Wachusett Inlet, the unnamed island adjacent to Blue Mouse Cove, Cenotoph Island, two parcels of land adjacent to Gateway Knob, and the Deception Hills east of the Doame River, for a total of 38,220 acres of new wilderness. The preferred alternative also recommends deletion from existing designated wilderness of the Beardslee Islands, Adams Entrance, Rendu Inlet, Hugh Miller Inlet, and Dundas Bay narrows, a total of 28,700 acres. Approximately 24,570 acres of existing designated wilderness waters would be retained. Motorized vessels, aircraft landings, and commercial fishing would be prohibited in all designated wilderness waters, totalling 45,170 acres. The only development expected would consist of a weather-monitoring station on the island near Blue Mouse Cove. POSITIVE IMPACTS: When compared to the current management situation, the preferred plan would protect more of the total study area (62,790 acres as opposed to 53,270 acres). The spectacular tidewater glacier-calving area and rich harbor seal habitat in Muir Inlet, the scenery of the classic U-shaped fjords in Charpentier Inlet and Dundas Bay, and the wildlife migration corridor along the Alsek River would remain free of human intrusion. All these areas would offer excellent opportunities for kayaking, camping, and nature study. Commercial fishing in nonwilderness waters under the preferred alternative would result in an annual harvest worth $218,000 from the study area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: When compared to the current management situation, the preferred plan would protect only 48 percent of the study area waters. Commercial fishing would be allowed; use of motorized vehicles in the nonwilderness portions of the study area would degrade wilderness values, including wildlife habitat in the rich marine estuaries in the Beardslee Islands, Hugh Miller Inlet, and Dundas Bay. Movement and, possibly, feeding patterns of as many as 11 endangered humpback whales per year could be disturbed due to activities in the lower Muir Inlet and the entrance to the Beardslee Islands. The reproductive success and vitality of local populations of bald eagles, seabirds and waterfowl, crabs, and finfish would be reduced due to commercial fishing and motor vehicle use. The scenic grandeur of Alsek Lake would be degraded by the noise and visual intrusion of motorboats. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

AB  - PURPOSE: Continued management of placer mining claims on federal lands in the 1.4-million-acre Birch Creek watershed, located approximately 70 miles northeast of Fairbanks, Alaska, under conditions provided for during the summer of 1987 is proposed. The majority of the watershed lies within the Steese National Conservation Area of the Yukon-Tanana Upland physiographic province, an area of Interior Alaska that consists of rounded hills around a high central area of rugged mountains. The province is bounded on the north by the Yukon River and on the south by the Tanana River. Birch Creek is formed at the confluence of Bates and Ptarmigan creeks near Porcupine and Mastodon domes. Other major tributaries include Crooked, Porcupine, Deadwood, and Harrison creeks and Harrison Fork. Birch Creek runs approximately 344 miles from its headwaters to its mouth at the Yukon River west of Fort Yukon. On May 14, 1987, the U.S District Court for the District of Alaska instructed the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to cease approving plans of operations for federal placer mines after October 1, 1987 in the Birch Creek watershed, pending completion of an adequate assessment of the cumulative effects of mining via an Environmental Impact Statement. Mining activities, under the preferred management plan, would be similar to those that occurred during the 1987 mining season. BLM would manage placer mining in the Birch Creek drainage according to Alaska state water quality standards, with federal variances. Reclamation activities would be required to reshape tailings to approximate the surrounding physiography and spread the overburden and available topsoil over the reshaped tailings. Settling ponds would be similarly reclaimed. The stream bypass would be stabilized or reinforced to make it the permanent channel. The reclaimed site would be allowed to revegetate naturally. Water quality performance standards would be 0.2 milliliters per liter of settleable solids and five Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU) above natural conditions when natural turbidity is 50 NTU or less, and not more than a 10 percent increase in the turbidity when the natural turbidity is 50 NTU, not to exceed a maximum increase of 25 NTU at the mine effluent discharge point. As many as 80 mines (48 federal and 32 state and private) would operate continuously over the next 10 years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Minerals made available due to mining activities would include tin, tungsten, gold, tantalum, silver, uranium, and rare-earth elements. Motorized recreational access would be enhanced due to construction of roads associated with mining. It is likely that mining employment, total employment, mining income, and total income would increase by approximately 23 percent over the next 10 years in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Soil profiles would be completely altered and vegetation destroyed by mining operations on approximately 1,840 acres of land. Water quality would be affected by short- to long-term increases in suspended sediments and turbidity, as well as accelerated local erosion, resulting in a possible increase in sediment (1,852 tons per day) introduced into the stream bypass in the vicinity of the disturbed area. The impact on chemical water quality is not known. Approximately 347 acres would regrow as riparian tall shrub within 30 years of reclamation, and an additional 600 acres would regrow within 50 years on mining disturbance in creek bottoms. Approximately 1,354 acres of new mined land would remain barren or sparsely vegetated. Approximately 6,258 acres of wildlife habitat would be physically altered due to mining in the watershed. Periodic disturbance to wildlife due to the operation of vehicles and machinery and human activities would affect as much as 223,000 acres. Approximately 947 acres of moose habitat would be lost, and 20 miles of stream would be altered. Some subsistence activities would be affected, and visual quality in the area would decline.

T1  - PONY EXPRESS RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, TOOELE, UTAH, AND SALT LAKE COUNTIES, UTAH.
AN  - 36388682; 1833
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a multiple-use land and resource management plan for approximately 2.0 million acres of public lands and mining estate in the 6.2-million-acre Pony Express Resource Area of the Salt Lake District of Utah is proposed. The resource area lies within Tooele, Utah, and Salt Lake counties. Features of the preferred alternative would include provisions for transportation and utility corridors, hazardous waste management, forestry, land exchanges and acquisitions, military applications for use of public land, wild horse management, land withdrawals to other agencies, air quality, water quality and rights, erosion identification and evaluation, riparian area management, floodplain and wetland management, livestock grazing, wildlife habitat, wildlife reintroductions, seasonal and geographic restrictions on disturbance of wildlife habitat, special recreation management areas, visual resource management, cultural clearance and inventories, and the Bonneville Salt Flats Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC). More specifically, the preferred alternative would involve the disposal of 9,088 acres of public land, retention of 442,780 acres in public ownership unless exchanged, and retention of 1.6 million acres of public land in any event. Legal access would be opened in Utah County to Kyune and Reservation Ridge and in Tooele County to the east side of the Stansbury Mountains, Bates Canyon, and Stansbury Island gravel pit. Private lands at Rush Lake would be acquired. Livestock would graze at active preference levels on six allotments. Grazing permits on the remaining six small, isolated allotments, with minimal or no actual livestock use, would be cancelled. These allotments are Iso-tract Cook, Iso-tract Ludlow, Iso-tract Willis, Cherry Creek, Scofield, and Genola Hill. Big game use would remain at current levels. No season-of-use for livestock would be changed, and no rangeland improvements would be implemented. Forage distribution would include 2,487 animal unit months (AUMs) for livestock and 299 AUMs for wildlife. In addition to the Bonneville Salt Flats, the 760-acre Horseshoe Springs, 10,000-acre North Stansbury Mountains, and 28,260-acre North Deep Creek Mountains areas would be designated as ACECs. Fluid mineral leasing categories would be established as follows: 1.9 million acres open, 143,492 acres open with special stipulations, and 32,028 acres open with no surface occupancy permitted; no acreage would be completely closed to leasing. Approximately 121,231 acres would be withdrawn from mineral entry. Off-road vehicle use would be open without limitation on 1.7 million acres and limited to vehicle use on 363,439 acres. All public lands would be managed as conditional suppression areas for wildlife. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan provisions would include the development of resources while protecting or enhancing environmental values. Land retention and elimination of grazing allotments would allow for enhancement of watershed values. Mineral exploration and development would contribute to the local, regional, and national economy. Crucial wildlife habitats would be protected, and 1,990 acres of pheasant habitat could be improved. Retention of numerous areas of recreational opportunities in public ownership would assure their continuation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New potash leases would not be allowed on 104,000 acres, precluding mineral recovery. Withdrawal and closure of 127,000 acres to locatable mineral entry would prevent recovery of affected minerals from these areas. Disposal of 1,520 acres for agricultural use would cause a short-term increase in erosion, and nearly 1,000 acres would be disturbed for military uses near Camp Williams, 906 acres for community needs, 786 acres for mineral extraction or processing, and 1.9 million acres for mineral exploration and development; these disturbances would affect watershed resources. Off-road vehicle use would also disturb soils. Wildlife habitat losses would affect mule deer, sage grouse, chukar, and antelope. Land disposal would result in the loss of 3,400 acres of forest. A total of 428 AUMs would be lost to ranchers. Disposal of 50 tracts could result in the loss of cultural resources; disposals would reduce in-lieu-of-tax payments to affected counties. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED UTILITY CORRIDOR RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, ALASKA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT AND ADDENDUM TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF AUGUST 1987).
AN  - 36388646; 1822
AB  - PURPOSE: A plan to manage 6.1 million acres of public lands in the Utility Corridor planning area in Alaska is proposed. An overriding principle of this presently proposed plan is to maintain the Utility Corridor for the transportation of energy minerals. This draft supplement to the draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) of August 1987 addresses modifications in the plan to allow for additional land selection for the state of Alaska within the Utility Corridor. The original proposal would have opened approximately 32,000 acres of land within the corridor to state selection. The amendment presented in this supplement would make approximately 1.1 million acres of land available. These lands are located in two blocks, one lying between the Yukon River and the Arctic Circle (approximately 500,000 acres) and one lying north of Toolik Lake (approximately 600,000 acres). Other plan components, described below and in the DEIS, remain unchanged. The preferred alternative emphasizes the recreational opportunities within the Utility Corridor. The proposed management actions outline a program of intensive management toward the development of these opportunities while providing for energy transportation, the Corridor's primary purpose. All lands would be opened to mineral location except the area designated as the "Inner Corridor," the Jim River and Prospect Creek, recommended wilderness areas, selected natural salt licks in the "Outer Corridor," and the Kanuti River. All areas would be opened to mineral leasing with the exception of wilderness areas and stipulated setback areas on rivers closed to mineral location. The sale of mineral materials would be allowed throughout the area except in the Jim River annual floodplain and Prospect Creek streambeds and identified salt lick sites. Development nodes would be defined for the Yukon Crossing, Coldfoot, Chandalar, and Happy Valley. Lands to be made available for disposal include those south of the Yukon River, the Coldfoot node, and the remainder of the east-west corridor adjacent to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. New waysides, campsites, trailheads, and cabin sites would be identified and developed after completion of a Recreation Activity Management Plan. A transportation corridor would be reserved to provide future access to the Ambler mining district. An off-road vehicle use plan would be initiated after approval of the land use plan. The "upper Nigu block" would be recommended for wilderness designation; no other lands in the Central Arctic Management Area would be so recommended. Sufficient numbers of musk-oxen would be transplanted to support a viable population on Bureau of Land Management lands near Pingaluligit Mountain in the Oolamnagavik block. An inventory of fisheries resources would be encouraged in the Utility Corridor. The effective life of this plan is expected to be approximately 10 years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative was selected to provide a balance of multiple uses that would range from recreational to extractive use of resources to meet the national demand. Substantial increases in employment opportunities are expected due to increased oil and gas exploration on the North Slope. The total increase in employment could reach 50 to 60 jobs during the three-year exploration phase and 150 to 300 jobs during the development phase. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed plan could result in potential increased disturbances to soils in the area and in water quality. Increased recreation use and development of facilities would increase the impact on vegetation resources. Approximately 700 acres would be impacted by mining operations, with 186 miles of access roads; 760 acres would be impacted by oil drilling pads, including 61 miles of gravel roads and 100 miles of secondary access roads, resulting in 32,000 impacted acres. The greatest wildlife impacts would be to moose, Dall's sheep, and bears from increases in human and animal interaction. There would be a direct impact to cultural resources due to increases in recreational activity. A significant restriction to subsistence uses and needs could result from land sales in Coldfoot and the Yukon Crossing. Additional population in the area would increase hunting pressure on subsistence resources. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487) and Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 87-0264D, Volume 11, Number 7.

T1  - DEATH VALLEY NATIONAL MONUMENT, INYO AND SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA, AND ESMERALDA AND NYE COUNTIES, NEVADA.
AN  - 36403555; 1744
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a general management plan is proposed for Death Valley National Monument in Inyo and San Bernardino counties, California and Esmeralda and Nye counties, Nevada. The proposed plan places emphasis on four areas of the monument as visitor destination points, namely, the Grapevine Mountains, the Racetrack, Wildrose, and the Ibex Hills. Other elements of the proposal would be aimed at bringing facilities and services up to current federal standards, reducing safety hazards, improving the reliability of park roads for access to more remote areas, and improving interpretation throughout the monument. The management zoning plan would place 97.5 percent of the monument lands in the Natural Zone, 1.9 percent in the Historic Zone, 0.4 percent in the Park Development Zone, and 0.1 percent in the Special Use Zone. Mining would be confined to three areas where effects could be limited. The National Park Service would enter into a long-term lease with the Timbisha-Shoshone Tribal Council for use of the existing village lands; the council would gradually assume full responsibility for administering village affairs. Visitor use aspects of the management plan would address information, orientation, interpretation, access and circulation, camping, safety, and use levels. Resource management actions would continue to emphasize the preservation of the monument's diverse natural and cultural resources. Specific development plans would be formulated for the Scotty's Castle/Grapevine Area, North Central Area /Stovepipe Wells, Emigrant/Wildrose corridor, Furnace Creek/Cow Creek Areas, and Southern Area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would continue to offer visitors opportunities that focus on the readily accessible features of the valley floor, but would expand opportunities to explore more remote areas and to experience a cross-section of environments and features. Wilderness values within the monument would be enhanced by reduction of mining areas, elimination of excess roads, and reclamation of abandoned mining sites not of historic significance. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Up to 57 acres of desert soil would be destroyed due to facility development. Mineral development would result in damage to soil structure and productivity on a maximum of 2,057 acres. Soil nutrients that have developed over long periods would be reduced in areas disturbed by mining, and soil compaction and abnormally high soil temperatures could cause additional damage in the affected areas. Visual intrusions due to mining activities would affect some areas. LEGAL MANDATES: Antiquities Act of 1906 (16 U.S.C. 431 et seq.), Mining in the Parks Act (P.L. 94-429), and National Park Service Organic Act (16 U.S.C. 1 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED MINING PLAN, DRY FORK MINE, CAMPBELL COUNTY, WYOMING.
AN  - 36405622; 1728
AB  - PURPOSE: Development of the Dry Fork surface coal mine at a site approximately five miles north and east of the city of Gillette in Campbell County, Wyoming is proposed by the Phillips Petroleum Company. The mine would eventually cover 3,798.49 acres, of which 2,905.0 acres would be disturbed. Annual production from the mine would amount to 15 million tons of coal, and a total of 226.4 million tons of coal would be removed over the 34 years of the mine life. The majority of facilities for the Dry Fork mine would be centrally located on 61 acres of land. Coal processing facilities would include a truck dump/crusher facility, a drivehouse, and transfer and sampling stations. A silo cluster and train load-out would be located on the east side of Moyer Springs. Run-of-mine coal would be dumped into 750-ton receiving hoppers above one of four roll crushers housed in an 80-foot-deep reinforced concrete pit. A 72-inch, 480-foot-long covered conveyor would lift the crushed coal to a drivehouse, which would house a transfer tower, sampling station, baghouse, and coal laboratory. A second 72-inch, 1,280-foot-long covered conveyor would carry coal from the drivehouse across Moyer Springs to the cluster of four storage silos. Construction of the first two 13,000-ton-capacity silos (70 feet in diameter and 265 feet high) over the outside loop of track would occur during initial development. The remaining two silos would be installed after production was expanded to 6.0 million tons per year. Transfer conveyors on top of the silos would distribute coal among the silos from the main conveyor terminus. Ancillary facilities would be required for fuel and lube-oil storage, explosives storage, wastewater treatment, power transmission, communications, water supply distribution, and solid waste disposal. Water control facilities would include sedimentation and treatment ponds and hydrologic diversions and retention systems. A main access road, coal haul roads, light-use roads, and a railroad loop would provide a transportation infrastructure for the mine. The project would include reclamation and revegetation components as well as wildlife mitigation measures. There are 21 operating or proposed coal mines in Campbell County. Six existing and two proposed mines are contiguous in a 7-mile-wide by 12-mile-long strip in the area north and east of Gillette; the Dry Fork mine would be one of these eight mines. Altogether, the life-of-mine areas of the eight mines total 30,424 acres. Upon completion of mining, the eight mines will have produced 2.1 billion tons of coal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing for the energy needs of the nation, the mine would create employment opportunities and tax revenues and would generally boost the local and regional economies. National dependence on foreign sources of energy minerals would decline. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities would destroy vegetation and surface water flows at the mining site and alter site topography and geology permanently. Ground disturbance would increase particulate levels in ambient air during the life of the mine. Some of the scoria resource in the area would be lost. Slopes created by mining would contribute to erosion following reclamation. Extraction of water for mining operations would have moderate impacts on water levels in the Tullock Member of the Fort Union Formation. The flow levels of Moyer Springs Creek would decline slightly, having minor, short-term effects on associated wetlands and brook trout populations. Habitat for raptors, red-tailed hawk, pronghorn and mule deer, sage grouse, and golden eagles would be impacted. Additional user pressure would be placed on recreational resources in the area. Traffic on area roadways and railways would increase somewhat. Historic and cultural resources could be degraded. The visual quality for visitors to Gillette and Devils Tower National Monument would decline somewhat.

T1  - WRANGELL-ST. ELIAS NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERVE, ALASKA: WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATION.
AN  - 36402201; 1739
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of land and resource management plans is proposed for wilderness study areas (WSAs) containing 3.1 million acres within the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve of Alaska. WSAs under consideration include 2.7 million acres of federally owned land and approximately 24 percent of the park/preserve. More specifically, WSAs under consideration would include the Nutzotin Mountains area, Nabsena Road area, Copper River area, McCarthy Road area, MacColl Ridge area, Chitistone area, Tebay Lakes area, Bremner River area (lower part of the drainage), the area west of Icy Bay, the western Malaspina Glacier area, and the Malaspina forelands. The preferred alternative would involve recommendation of approximately 273,000 acres, of just under nine percent of the land encompassed by the WSAs, for wilderness designation. Approximately 109,000 acres of existing wilderness would be recommended for deletion from the National Wilderness Preservation System. Most additions to and deletions from the National System would involve adjustments to boundaries of existing wilderness areas. Areas excluded from wilderness status would remain available for possible future development of visitor and/or administrative facilities. Facilities that might be developed would include six patrol cabins, one radio repeater, a 15-site campground, 30 miles of foot trails, five health and safety cabins, and three commercial fishing structures. Under the proposed management plan, none of these facilities would be in designated wilderness areas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Areas included in the National Wilderness Preservation System would be protected and preserved in their natural state for present and future generations. The preserved values would include opportunities for solitude as well as naturalness. Areas protected by wilderness designation would include habitat for Dall sheep, trumpeter swans, and brown and black bears. Annual recreational visitation would increase beyond current trends by approximately 7,200 visits, for a total of 152,000 visits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of the proposed facilities would result in a decline in wilderness values and wildlife habitat and the loss of vegetation at specific sites. Over time, the naturalness and solitude of the undesignated portions of the study area could be destroyed or diminished at recreational development and use areas, along road corridors and trail routes, at hunting camps, and in areas with potentially active mining claims. Increased aircraft overflights could further diminish wilderness values in a number of areas. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - PLACER MINING ON THE BEAVER CREEK WATERSHED, ALASKA.
AN  - 36388971; 1731
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan is proposed to continue management of mining claims on federal land within the placer mining area of the Beaver Creek watershed located approximately 50 air miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska and encompassing nearly 1.2 million acres of land. Most of the upper portion of the drainage lies within the White Mountains National Recreation Area. Under the preferred plan, mining claims on federal lands would continue to be managed as they were during the summer of the 1987 mining season. Placer mining in the Beaver Creek drainage would be managed according to federal and state water quality standards, with variances for the operation. The performance standards are 0.2 milliliters per liter of settleable solids and five Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTUs) above natural conditions when natural turbidity is 50 NTUs or less, and not more than a 10-percent increase in the turbidity when the natural turbidity is 50 NTUs, not to exceed a maximum increase of 25 NTUs at the mine effluent discharge point. Reclamation activities would reshape tailings to approximate the surrounding physiography and spread the overburden and available topsoil over the reshaped tailings. Settling ponds would be similarly reclaimed. The stream bypass would be stabilized or reinforced to make it the permanent channel. The reclaimed site would be allowed to revegetate naturally. Under the proposed action, it is estimated that a total of five mines would be operating continuously over the next 10 years. The annual cost for each of the five operations would be $26,000 for water treatment and $10,000 for reclamation. Administration and enforcement of the surface mining plan would cost the Federal Government approximately $9,000. All estimates are in 1987 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Mining in the area would result in the recovery of $500,000 in gold from the Beaver Creek Drainage. If the number of mines increases from one to five, direct employment would increase by 38 work months per year and annual wages would increase by an estimated $45,000. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Soil profiles would be completely altered by mining operations on approximately 115 acres of ground. There would be short- and long-term increases in suspended sediment and turbidity, and accelerated local erosion would result in a possible increase in sediment, introduced into the stream bypass in the vicinity of the disturbed area. Vegetation cover in mined and roaded areas would be destroyed. Twenty-eight acres of riparian tall shrubs would be affected for up to 30 years, and an additional 8.6 acres would be affected for up to 50 years. Ten years after plan implementation begins, 78 acres of land disturbance from mining operations would still be sparsely vegetated. Approximately 676 acres of wildlife habitat would be altered, resulting in a loss of 115 acres of moose winter range for a period of 50 years. The visual quality of the area would decline slightly. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), and General Mining Law of 1872, as amended (30 U.S.C. 22 et seq.).

T1  - PACIFIC NORTHWEST-PACIFIC SOUTHWEST INTERTIE DEVELOPMENT AND USE.
AN  - 36400127; 1725
AB  - PURPOSE: Expansion of the capacity of the Pacific Northwest-Pacific Southwest Intertie and development of a Long Term Intertie Access Policy (IAP) are proposed by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). The Long Term IAP would apply only to those portions of the Intertie owned by BPA. These proposals would enable short- and long-term contractual sales and transfers of surplus federal power and management of other interregional transfers of power over the Pacific Northwest-Pacific Southwest Intertie. Intertie capacity, presently 5,200 megawatts (MW), would be increased to 7,900 MW, and a formula allocation and firm sales provision would be adopted. BPA would participate in upgrading Intertie facilities to the capacity required. Power from new resources would be allowed on the Intertie only on an hourly basis or to sustain assured delivery contracts previously established on the basis of currently existing firm surpluses. To ensure protection of fish and wildlife resources in the Columbia River Basin, the allocation of any utility constructing a new hydroelectric project in an area designated as protected would be decreased by the generating capacity of that project. Average annual sales from the Pacific Northwest (PNW) to California would be approximately 123 to 135 percent of the current level; these figures are based on forecasted sales for study years 1993, 1998, and 2003. BPA-funded measures would be taken to mitigate IAP effects on resident fish and Hungry Horse Reservoir. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A consistent policy for administering the Intertie would be implemented. The increased capacity of the Intertie would result in gains of approximately $2.0 billion in benefits relative to the existing capacity. Intertie system flexibility and reliability would be enhanced. Capacity increases would decrease air pollution associated with electric generation in southern and north-central California. Management activities would reduce impacts to cultural resource sites due to vandalism. Development of new power resources in the PNW would increase somewhat. Fish and wildlife protection features of the IAP would discourage construction of new and expansion of existing nonfederal hydroelectric facilities that could interfere with the goals of the Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program and undermine BPA investments. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Changes in hydroelectric operations would have minor adverse effects on some anadromous and resident fish stocks in the PNW. Wave erosion would damage some cultural resource sites. Development of new power resources in California and the Inland Southwest would be somewhat retarded. LEGAL MANDATES: Bonneville Project Act of 1937 (16 U.S.C. 832a(a) et seq.).

T1  - GATES OF THE ARCTIC NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERVE, ALASKA: WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATION.
AN  - 36407299; 1735
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for the wilderness study area (WSA) within the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve of Alaska is proposed. The study area, which encompasses slightly more than 1.0 million acres, includes the northwest and southwest preserve units and the wilderness-suitable lands in the Anaktuvuk Pass/Chandler Lake area. The northeast preserve unit contains Oolah Valley and alpine tundra and the surrounding scenic mountains; Itkillik Lake; the Nanushuk River valley and the Alapah Creek drainage; and undisturbed glaciers, smaller lakes, and rivers. The southwest preserve unit contains the Kobuk Valley and nearby hills; the Upper Kobuk River, a designated wild river; the Kobuk canyons; Selby, Narvak, and Nutuvuki lakes; and a large continuous spruce forest. The Anaktuvuk Pass/Chandler Lake area contains broad valleys, moist tundra, meandering streams, and the Anaktuvuk River. The preferred management scheme would designate the 330,846 acres of the northeast preserve unit (approximately 31 percent of the study area) as wilderness. This area would become part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. The Oolah Valley, Nanushuk River valley, and Alpah Creek drainage would benefit from wilderness designation. Most development would be prohibited on the designated wilderness lands. Possible developments within the proposed wilderness would include a temporary 500-square-foot air/water quality monitoring station. Excluded from wilderness designation would be 617,783 acres of study area lands of the southwest preserve unit and 103,932 acres of study area lands of the Anaktuvuk Pass/Chandler Lake area. Facilities that could be developed in the area excluded from wilderness designation would include a three-acre, five-site primitive campground, toilet facility, and docking facility at Selby Lake, and two permanent air/water quality monitoring stations in the Chandler Lake and Kobuk Valley areas. Collectively these facilities would occupy approximately two acres, and human use activity would be focused mostly in the immediate area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Areas designated as wilderness would be preserved in their pristine condition, providing a unique wild and undeveloped character for present and future generations. Recreational developments in nondesignated areas would increase the recreational carrying capacity of the park and preserve. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Individually, in local areas, the impacts of possible developments under the proposed action would be minor; however, the aggregate effects of the possible development of a primitive campground, air /water quality monitoring stations, and other future developments, coupled with increased visitor use, would result in adverse effects to the previously pristine and undisturbed wilderness lands and vegetative resources. The private allotments in the southwest preserve unit and the Anaktuvuk Pass/Chandler Lake areas could increase in use pressures. The overall visual quality and other general wilderness values would decline. Air/water quality monitoring stations and camper equipment would be visible from as far as a few miles. Audio intrusions caused by facilities, particularly the campground, would collectively spread out for two to three acres from the perimeter of the sites. A small amount of alpine wet tundra vegetation would be destroyed. Human use of the area could result in compaction of 25 acres of ground due to human trail formation.

T1  - LAKE CLARK NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERVE WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATION, ALASKA.
AN  - 36407338; 1737
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of land and resource management provisions for 1.24 million acres of wilderness study areas (WSAs) within the Lake Clark National Park and Preserve of Alaska is proposed. WSAs under consideration comprise 31 percent of the park and preserve. The WSAs encompass the scenic lands and waters along the north and west sides of the park and preserve (a linear distance of approximately 120 miles) and in the southwest portion of the park between Chinitna Bay and Redoubt Point (a linear distance of approximately 60 miles). The area includes the glaciated mountain terrain in the extreme northern portion of the park on the divide between the Kuskokwim, Skwentna, and Chilligan rivers; portions of the Stony, Telaquana, Mulchatna, Chilikadrotna, Little Mulchatna, and Kijik rivers; two isolated forested parcels of federal land west of Lake Clark, one near the Chulitna River and the other northwest of Hoknede Mountain; most of the tundra and forestland within the Lower and Upper Tazimina lake drainages; the Black Peak area; the Crescent Lake area; portions on either side of the Crescent River drainage; and the majority of coastal forested lands along Cook Inlet between Chinitna and Tuxedni bays. The preferred management scheme would maintain existing levels of wilderness in the park and preserve; that is, no areas in the Lake Clark National Park and Preserve would be recommended for wilderness designation. Current management practices, as described in the general management plan for the park and preserve, would continue. Several administrative and visitor facilities could be developed within the WSAs; these facilities could include five ranger stations, four air and water quality monitoring stations, five primitive campgrounds, 9.25 miles of trails, and an interpretive sign. Nine fly-in or boat-in lodges on private lands and an unpatented mining claim group on Portage Creek would continue to operate. Visitor use levels would increase from approximately 22,000 at present to approximately 133,000 by 2020, an increase of approximately six percent per annum. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Alaska's recreational carrying capacity would be increased significantly by allowing motorized access within the park and the provision of other means of access and the use of the areas under consideration. Mining in the designated areas would contribute to the state and regional economy and the nation's ability to meet mineral availability requirements. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: None of the primeval qualities of the area, including pristine lakes, rolling tundra-covered hills, wild rivers in the western part of the preserve and the glaciated valleys, steep mountains, coastal plains, coves, and bear habitat along Cook Inlet in the eastern part of the park, would be protected through wilderness designation. Approximately seven acres of spruce/birch would be disturbed or destroyed by possible developments, and opportunities for solitude and primitive recreation would be progressively diminished by visitor activities, particularly those involving the use of airplanes to access private lodges and other recreational destinations. Over the long term, wilderness characteristics of the WSAs would deteriorate, wilderness size would be reduced, and some irreplaceable wilderness values would be lost. Impacts on mining are unknown and uncertain. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - COLORADO-BIG THOMPSON, WINDY GAP PROJECTS: WATER MARKETING PROGRAM FOR GREEN MOUNTAIN RESERVOIR, COLORADO (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1981).
AN  - 36406105; 1722
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a water marketing program is proposed for the Green Mountain Reservoir, located 13 miles southeast of Kremmling, Colorado. This final supplement to the final environmental impact statement of April 1981, which addressed the Colorado-Big Thompson, Windy Gap projects, covers the water marketing program. Currently, interim water sales are available on a yearly, case-by-case basis. The December 1983 revised operating policy set aside 66,000 acre-feet of the 100,000-acre-foot power pool to be used for meeting the existing demands of the historic and municipal beneficiaries of Green Mountain Reservoir water. The operating policy provides that Green Mountain Reservoir would continue to be operated to meet the demands of these historic beneficiaries. The remaining water could be available for sale under long-term contracts. Current water requests exceed 22,000 acre-feet. In order to conduct sales of the remaining water, the Bureau of Reclamation has prepared this final supplement, which is a program-level document analyzing three water sales scenarios in detail and two no-action conditions. Two of the sales scenarios would fulfill all of the currently identified requests for water (approximately 22,800 acre-feet), while the third scenario would assume a 25 percent increase in water demand over this amount. Each alternative scenario would be regulated by hydrologic constraints of the reservoir and downstream river system and by recommended instream flow values regarding diversion or depletion of stream flows. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Long-term contracts would assure a reliable water supply for farmland irrigation, snowmaking at ski resorts, residential uses, and other commercial and industrial uses. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Hydrologic constraints and flow restrictions placed on streams could create water shortages in some delivery areas. Changes in stream flows resulting from the various water sales alternatives would create varying levels of losses in fishery habitat and could create some user conflicts. LEGAL MANDATES: Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-320), Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (15 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.).

T1  - CODY RESOURCE AREA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, BIG HORN AND PARK COUNTIES, WYOMING.
AN  - 36381626; 1753
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resources management plan for almost 1.1 million acres of federal land and 1.5 million acres of federal mineral estate administered by the Cody Resource Area in the Worland District of Wyoming is proposed. The Cody Resource Area encompasses parts of Big Horn and Park counties in the north-central portion of the state. The plan would focus on three resource management issues relating to vegetative resources, special management area designations, and resource accessibility and manageability. The management plan would cover allocation of vegetative resources for consumptive and nonconsumptive uses, establish priorities for management values or resources, and implement land and resource management to allow for appropriate types and levels of use and to provide protection. The preferred management alternative would emphasize protection of the natural environment while easing land use restrictions. Specific management provisions would be established with regard to caves, cultural resources, riparian areas and surface water, scenic values, soils, special management areas, wildlife habitat and fisheries, air quality, fire, forestland, geothermal resources, land ownership adjustments, livestock grazing, mineral resources, off-road vehicle use, visual resources, watersheds, wilderness, and wild horses. Wildlife of particular concern would include bald eagles, big game, black-footed ferrets, peregrine falcons, and raptors. POSITIVE IMPACTS: While ensuring protection of natural resources within the Cody Resource Area, the management scheme would allow for economically viable consumptive uses of the area's resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Short-term soil losses would result from proposed range projects, as well as from watershed manipulation and surface reclamation. In addition to natural soil loss of some 1.42 million tons, the annual accelerated soil loss under the preferred management scheme would be approximately 2.9 million tons in the short term and 2.2 million tons in the long term. Losses in productivity from timber stands left as overmature growth would continue at approximately 200,000 board feet per year. Some surface disturbances, totalling approximately 20 percent of the total disturbed area, would be long-term or permanent. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - ARCATA RESOURCE AREA WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS, KING RANGE AND CHEMISE MOUNTAIN WILDERNESS STUDY AREAS, UKIAH DISTRICT, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36400941; 1743
AB  - PURPOSE: Wilderness recommendations are proposed for the 29,300-acre King Range Wilderness Study Area (WSA) in Humboldt County and for the 4,300-acre Chemise Mountain WSA in Humboldt and Mendocino counties, California. Under the proposed alternative for the King Range WSA, 20,620 acres would be recommended for wilderness designation. Lands outside the proposed wilderness area would be managed in accordance with the existing King Range Management Program, established in 1974. All roads within the portion of the WSA recommended as suitable for wilderness would be closed to public vehicular use. Approximately 2,980 acres within the Honeydew Drainage would be designated as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern. In addition, 10 timber sales, including 2,125 acres outside the suitable portion of the WSA and 35 million board feet of timber will be harvested over the next 100 years. Existing levels of livestock grazing in the five grazing allotments would be continued. Under the proposed alternative for the 4,340-acre Chemise Mountain WSA, the entire area would be recommended for designation as wilderness and would remain closed to motorized vehicles. Efforts to reintroduce Roosevelt elk would continue, and the area would be managed to enhanced nonmotorized recreational opportunities. Management actions implemented in association with the wilderness and nonwilderness recommendations would cover timber resources, wildlife habitat, vegetation, fire control, vehicular access, recreation resources, grazing, land acquisition, and cultural resources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Opportunities for primitive recreation and solitude would be protected and enhanced in the areas designated as wilderness. Motorized recreational use would be slightly enhanced in the King Range WSA due to maintenance of 13 miles of road. Salmon and steelhead trout habitat would be improved moderately. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Allowance of some vehicular access via 13 miles of road and logging on 240 acres of land every 10-year period within the King Range WSA would degrade wilderness values in areas outside the designated wilderness area. Naturalness characteristics would be lost on approximately 300 acres over the next 10 years and each succeeding decade until 2090. The perception of solitude would be impaired on 3,250 to 3,500 acres during the first decade and 750 to 1,000 acres during each succeeding decade until 2090. Road closures and vehicle restrictions along the Smith-Etter Road and Spanish Ridge Road would have a minor negative impact on livestock grazing management. Exploitation of 35 million board feet of merchantable timber would be foregone, and 2,125 acres of commercial land would be eliminated from timber harvest due to wilderness designation within the King Range WSA. Increased pedestrian use of the areas would result in minor disturbances of archaeological sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - METROPOLITAN DENVER WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM, COLORADO.
AN  - 36403680; 1779
AB  - PURPOSE: Permit applications have been filed by the Denver Board of Water Commissioners (Board) on behalf of the Denver Water Department (DWD) for the 1.1 million acre-foot Two Forks Reservoir and for an extension of its Williams Fork Gravity Collection System. These are considered to be two separate and distinct applications. The Metropolitan Water Providers, composed of more than 40 cities, water and sanitation districts, and 1 county in the Denver metropolitan area, are co-sponsors of the Two Forks project. The area includes all or parts of Denver, Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas, Jefferson, Boulder, and Weld counties in Colorado. The Two Forks damsite is located on the South Platte River approximately one mile downstream from the confluence of the North Fork of the South Platte River with the South Platte River. The Two Forks Reservoir would provide long-term storage of natural flows from the North Fork of the South Platte River and the South Platte River and would also store flows from existing west slope collection systems that deliver water to the North Fork of the South Platte River via Roberts Tunnel. Waters regulated by Two Forks would be diverted at Strontia Springs Dam to the Foothills Water Treatment Plant, to the Marston Treatment Plant, and at specified delivery points for suburban participants that are raw water users. Operation of the reservoir would increase the firm annual yield to the DWD system by 98,000 acre-feet per year. The Two Forks Dam would be a multicurvature, thin-arch concrete dam designed to be constructed in either one or two stages. Principal project features would be the concrete arch dam; a free overflow spillway in the center of the dam crest; a spillway plunge pool; a multilevel intake structure on the upstream face of the dam; valving systems for selective withdrawals from the reservoir, including an emergency reservoir drain system; a diversion tunnel and cofferdams for river diversion during construction; electrical transmission lines; and project access roads. The construction cost would be approximately $520 million. The Williams Fork gravity project would be an extension of the existing system. The project would be divided into the South and North sectors. Both sectors would be extensions of the existing gravity-flow system and would deliver water to the Gumlick Tunnel. The extended system would collect water from Darling Creek and the South Fork, Middle Fork, and main stem of the Williams Fork drainage. Extension of the Williams Fork Collection System, using the gravity scheme, would increase the safe yield of the DWD system by 12,000 acre-feet per year. The total construction cost of the project is estimated to be approximately $110 million. Mitigation would be required for wildlife transportation, aquatic habitat, and recreational and visual resources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Two Forks dam and reservoir would provide a 12-year supply of water for the Denver metropolitan area. This would be the most cost-effective alternative. The Williams Fork gravity project would provide metropolitan Denver water supply needs for one additional year. This alternative would benefit aquatic life. It would not cause significant impacts to physiography, topography, geology, channel stability, transportation, water quality, threatened and endangered species, or socioeconomic resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Without considering mitigation, the Two Forks alternative would be the most damaging to recreation; threatened and endangered species; vegetation; wildlife; aquatic life; and visual, cultural, and water quality resources. This alternative would eliminate a number of recreational cabins, inundate miles of gold medal trout stream, cause the loss of suitable habitat for the pawnee Montane skipper butterfly, and eliminate acres of vegetation. It would also eliminate deer and elk winter range and bighorn sheep range. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), and National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

T1  - ARCATA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36402606; 1742
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for the seven management areas in the Arcata and Clear Lake resource areas of the Ukiah District of California is proposed. The overall planning area lies in northwestern California and includes the Arcata Resource Area except for the King Range National Conservation Area. It includes those portions of the Clear Lake Resource Area that were not addressed in the recent Clear Lake Management Framework Plan. Management areas under consideration include the Samoa Peninsula, Lacks Creek, Butte Creek, King Range Vicinity, Red Mountain, Covelo Vicinity, and several scattered tracts with old-growth and timber production values. The 10-year planning scheme would cover 257,000 acres of public land, 125,000 acres of public domain, and 132,000 acres of mineral reserve. The Samoa Peninsula area would be managed to provide opportunities for off-road vehicle recreation; protect populations of Menzie's wallflower, as well as coastal wetlands and other natural values; provide opportunities for other nonconsumptive recreational uses; and facilitate research into the Manila Dunes. Approximately 42 acres south of Manila Dunes (Lindgren property) would be acquired to enhance access to and expand the Manila Dunes area. The Lacks Creek area would be managed to increase timber production, provide minor forest products, and consolidate land ownership patterns. The Butte Creek area would be managed to enhance natural values, including old-growth forest characteristics and habitat for the northern spotted owl, enhance riparian conditions in Butte Creek, and consolidate land ownership patterns. The King Range Vicinity area would be managed to enhance watershed conditions and the visual quality of coastal streams, consolidate land ownership patterns, and ensure consistency with the existing King Range Management Program. The Red Mountain area would be managed to enhance old-growth forest characteristics, protect unique botanical values, protect nests and foraging habitat of peregrine falcons, enhance anadromous fish streams and other riparian habitat, facilitate research on unique soils on Red Mountain, enhance natural values within the Northern California Coast Range Preserve, provide forest products, consolidate land ownership, and use public lands to help satisfy the California in-lieu entitlements. The Covelo Vicinity area would be managed to consolidate federal interests in areas of high visibility and help satisfy California in-lieu entitlements. The scattered tracts would be managed to consolidate federal interests in areas of high visibility and help satisfy California in-lieu entitlements. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Off-road vehicle use would be greatly enhanced, increasing levels from 11,000 visitor days per year to nearly 17,500 visitor days per year. Botanical values and passive recreation opportunities would be protected and enhanced on the Samoa Dunes and moderately benefitted on the Manila Dunes. Acquisition of 5,300 acres of commercial forestland would significantly benefit the availability of the market and the timber management program for the district over the long-term, increasing the potential commercial timber to market from 320 million board feet (MMBF) to nearly 800 MMBF and the annual available cut from 4.7 MMBF to 12.8 MMBF. Approximately 3,470 acres of the planning areas' 7,280 acres of old-growth reserve would be preserved. Approximately 77,360 acres would be available to help satisfy the state's indemnity selection entitlement and to consolidate federal land ownership. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 2,000 acres of commercial forest would be removed from the timber base, reducing the amount of standing volume available to the market from 387 MMBF to 320 MMBF and the annual available cut from 5.75 MMBF to 4.7 MMBF. Approximately 15,700 acres of commercial forestland would be temporarily removed from production. Timber harvest activities would result in a loss of 3,810 acres of old-growth habitat. Some spotted owls would be displaced. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - YUKON-CHARLEY RIVERS NATIONAL PRESERVE, ALASKA: WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATION.
AN  - 36396826; 1740
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resources management plan is proposed for 2.22 million acres of land designated as suitable for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System within the Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve of Alaska. The preserve contains a portion of the upper Yukon River valley and the entire Charley River drainage; the Charley River has been included in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The preferred management scheme would involve designation as wilderness of 1.09 million acres, or 49 percent of the suitable lands within the study area. The land area that would be designated as wilderness covers most of the Charley River basin. The wilderness boundary would follow the hydrographic divide of the basin, except near the mouth of the Charley River, where it would cross the river on the township line approximately two miles south of the Yukon River. Four cabins and an unmaintained gravel landing area exist within the wilderness boundary. The wilderness area would not include private land, but would include 5,120 acres of land selected by Doyon, Ltd. in two small parcels in the southeast portion of the upper Charley River headwaters. If conveyed to private ownership, this land would be removed from the wilderness. Possible developments outside the recommended wilderness area would include construction of a five-site campground and visitor facility at Coal Creek camp, clearance of brush from 30 miles of historic winter trail along the Yukon River, an air and water quality monitoring station at Coal Creek ranger station, construction of lodges on private land in or adjacent to preserve boundaries, and mining on 50 claims within six claim groups. Recreational use of the preserve would reach 40,500 visitors annually by 2020, as compared to an annual visitor total of 1,500 at the present time. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Significant opportunities for solitude as well as important populations of peregrine falcon, Dall sheep, and caribou would be protected by the wilderness designation. Geologic features typical of the interior of Alaska, which have not been altered due to natural protection from glaciation, would be preserved. Outstanding outdoor recreation opportunities within one of the best clearwater paddling streams in Alaska would be protected. Open vistas and hiking opportunities across alpine tundra situated in the upper reaches of the basin would also remain unchanged, and archaeological exploration in this area would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Areas that would be excluded from wilderness contain significant peregrine falcon nesting areas and habitat; habitat for brown and grizzly bears, moose, and caribou; and historical remnants of the Yukon-era gold rush. Use of the area by airplanes would increase by 10 to 12 percent. Mining activities, which would be unlikely under the current economic circumstances, would result in localized degradation of the environment. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487), Endangered Species Act of 1973,, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - KENAI FJORDS NATIONAL PARK, ALASKA: WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATION.
AN  - 36388480; 1736
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resources management plan is proposed for 668,165 acres of land designated as suitable for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System within the Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska. The study area includes a portion of the coastal mountain system on the southeastern side of the Kenai Peninsula, much of which is covered by the Harding Icefield. Approximately 75 percent of the 300-square-mile icefield is within the park, and 10 major glaciers flow out of it through the park. To the southeast, the glaciers descend to a fjord system where mountain ridges extend out into the Gulf of Alaska. Mature Sitka spruce and hemlock cover the ends of the fjord peninsulas. The preferred management scheme would involve inclusion of 587,345 acres, or 88 percent of the study area, in the National Wilderness Preservation System. An additional 19,420 acres of state-owned land, or two percent of the study area, would be recommended as a potential addition to the park's wilderness lands. Possible development and use actions on lands recommended for wilderness would include a ranger station at McCarty Fjord near Dinglestadt Glacier, a radio repeater in the Surprise Bay area, a 13-mile trail from Bradley Lake to Beauty Bay, and an Exit Glacier safety cabin. A campground at Delight Spit on Nuka Bay would include five walk-in campsites with tent sites, fire rings, and single-pit latrines. Two mining claim groups within the wilderness would be actively mined during the next 20 years, with operations producing approximately one ton per day. A 61,400-acre area in the northeastern section of the park and extending onto the Harding Icefield almost as far as the Pederson Glacier would be excluded from further consideration as wilderness. Possible developments within this area would include a 20-room lodge on the Harding Icefield, a weather station in conjunction with the lodge, a five- to seven-mile aerial tramway from the Exit Glacier or Paradise Creek area in the park lowlands or possibly from Seward to a terminal on the Harding Icefield, and two to three miles of access roads and associated facilities at the base development in the Exit Glacier or Paradise Creek area. Oversnow vehicle concession operations, providing for up to 25 vehicles, and airplane and helicopter landings, totalling up to 1,100 per season, would be allowed on the icefield. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values of solitude and primitiveness would be preserved in the areas designated for inclusion in the national system. Interpretation of the Harding Icefield would be enhanced by the addition of facilities in that area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: One to two acres of coastal vegetation would be disturbed at each mining site over the life of the operations. The 20-room lodge on the Harding Icefield would disturb approximately four acres. Access roads and associated facilities in the Exit Glacier or Paradise Creek area would disturb 40 acres of coastal forest. In general, areas lying outside those designated for inclusion in the wilderness system would be subject to alterations that could degrade their wilderness characteristics. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - DOLORES PROJECT, MONTEZUMA AND DOLORES COUNTIES, COLORADO (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1977).
AN  - 36389012; 1778
AB  - PURPOSE: Diversion of water from the Dolores River to the San Juan River basin in Montezuma and Dolores counties in southwest Colorado is proposed. As originally proposed in the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) of May 1977, the project would involve the McPhee Reservoir on the Dolores River, the smaller Monument Creek and Dawson Draw reservoirs in the San Juan River basin, and two major conveyance systems. An average of 126,000 acre-feet of water would be developed annually for irrigation of 26,300 acres of supplemental service land and 35,360 acres of full service land for municipal and industrial uses and fish and wildlife enhancement. A portion of the water would be supplied to the Ute Indian Reservation on Ute Mountain. The project also would include recreation facilities and acquisition and development of land for wildlife habitat. A May 1981 report found no significant impact for the addition of two hydroelectric power plants to the project facilities; the plants would be located at McPhee and Towaoc. This draft supplement to the FEIS describes modifications to the project design since the publication of the FEIS. Modifications covered include the addition of salinity control features to the project design and changing the alignment of the Towaoc Canal, a portion of one of the conveyance systems, from west of Cortez to east of the city. Both of these modifications would affect the McElmo Creek drainage. Salinity control features would include lining sections of the Lone Pine and Upper Hermana irrigation laterals to prevent seepage; abandoning the Rocky Ford Ditch and incorporating its flows into the new alignment of the Towaoc Canal; abandoning the Lower Hermana Lateral and Highline Ditch and including their flows, along with those of the Ute Mountain irrigation project water supply, in the Towaoc Canal; and constructing eight buried pipe laterals from the Towaoc Canal to the Rocky Ford Ditch service area. Other refinements to the FEIS project plan, not covered in this supplement, include deletion of the Monument Reservoir component as well as the Cortez-to-Towaoc Municipal and Industrial Pipeline components of the plan; combining the capacities of two pumping plants into one plant near Dove Creek; constructing a delivery pumping plant near Cahone to allow reduction of project pipe size; increasing the capacities of the McPhee and Towaoc powerplants; and improving the operation, maintenance, and replacement of the project by the installation of a computerized system. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Water supplied by the project would increase agricultural production in the San Juan River basin. The municipal and industrial water provided would satisfy present needs and permit moderate future growth in the area. McPhee Dam would provide flood protection for downstream landowners. Snow-melt floods on the Dolores River would be controlled. Fishery release from McPhee Dam would create stream fishery habitat with good public accessibility along the 11 miles of the Dolores River immediately below the dam. Project reservoirs and recreation areas would provide a variety of new recreational opportunities for the public. Land acquired and managed for wildlife would create valuable and unthreatened habitat for a variety of species. Salt pickup from the McElmo Creek drainage, which has resulted in deterioration of the water quality of the Colorado River, would decline significantly. Employment and other economic indicators within the affected counties would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some types of wildlife habitat would be lost due to project structures and operations covered in the supplemental statement. Dryland cover types would decline due to expansion of urban areas. Approximately 89 acres of wetlands dependant on seepage would be lost due to channel lining. Lining of the Towaoc Canal would create a hazard for wildlife attempting to cross it. A total of 129 recorded cultural resource sites would be destroyed or damaged by construction of salinity control facilities. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990 and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the final environmental impact statement, see 77-0839F, Volume 1, Number 8.

T1  - Report on BIA Education: Excellence in Indian Education through the Effective Schools Process. Final Review Draft.
AN  - 63075192; ED297899
AB  - This "final review draft" report provides an overview of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) elementary and secondary school system, and focuses on broad policy questions affecting the entire system. Part I outlines the history of Indian education and describes the state of BIA education today, including enrollment trends, descriptions of facilities, teachers, curriculum, and extracurricular activities at 28 selected schools, statistical breakdowns of student performance in 1986 on nationally standardized tests, funding and budget figures, and family background and high school performance of Indian students. Part II addresses the long-range future of BIA education, and raises some basic policy options concerning the management of BIA school facilities and the exercise of BIA educational leadership. The merits of these options depend in part on developing consensus as to the desired future of the BIA school program. Part III reviews recent research into the characteristics of effective schools, and suggests policy options that would apply the results of this research to BIA schools to improve the quality of teaching, curricula, and special programs. The final chapter proposes 15 short-term goals for revitalizing Indian education, goals which can serve as topics for tribal, public, and bureau discussions. The report includes 90 data tables and 46 references. A statement from the National Advisory Council on Indian Education, which cautions that reported Indian student test scores included special education students whereas reported non-Indian student test scores did not, is appended.

T1  - BERING LAND BRIDGE NATIONAL PRESERVE, ALASKA: WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATION.
AN  - 36402293; 1734
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed for 2.26 million acres of land designated as suitable for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System within the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve of Alaska. The preserve occupies approximately one-third of the Seward Peninsula, which lies approximately 500 miles northwest of Anchorage. The proposed management scheme would involve recommendation of 299,520 acres, or approximately 11 percent of the suitable lands within the preserve, as wilderness; many of the areas excluded from wilderness designation have development potential, and future development would not be prohibited. Possible developments outside the proposed wilderness area would include a maintenance/administrative cabin at Serpentine Hot Springs; an administrative cabin and airstrip at Lava Lake; docking facilities at Lava Lake, Devil Mountain Lakes, Killeak Lakes, and Kuzitrin Lake; a permanent air and water quality monitoring station; a permanent research-related cabin; a public use cabin at Lava Lake; a number of campgrounds of various sizes at Serpentine Hot Springs, Lava Lake, Kuzitrin Lake, Devil Mountain Lakes, Killeak Lakes, and along the coast; 60 miles of trails; 12 miles of all-season route from Serpentine Hot Springs to Macklin Creek; a parking area for 10 vehicles at Serpentine Hot Springs; interpretive signs at various locations; kiosks at Serpentine Hot Springs, Lava Lake, and Devil Mountain Lakes; a safety cabin on the Lane River; two all-season transportation corridors; and one permanent reindeer herders' cabin. In addition, one temporary air and water quality monitoring station, one temporary research cabin, and one temporary reindeer herders' cabin could be developed within the proposed wilderness area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values within the area recommended for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System would be protected from unnatural intrusion. Areas outside the designated wilderness would be open for recreational use, habitat management, and intrusive research. Subsistence needs of the native population would largely be protected, and access to various recreational areas within the preserve would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values would be degraded, particularly at major activity sites and along access corridors, outside the 299,250-acre area recommended for wilderness designation. Less than 1 acre of wet tundra would be temporarily lost within the wilderness area, and approximately 292 acres of vegetation in the area outside the wilderness, including seashore grassland, lava/lichen association, dry tundra, moist tundra, wet tundra, and shrub thicket, would be destroyed. Moose losses due to subsistence and sport hunting would increase. The designation of two primitive campgrounds would significantly impact subsistence harvests of bears and waterfowl, and impacts to the Trail Creek Caves archaeological site and other cultural resource sites would increase due to increased ease of access.

The synthetic fuels complex would consist of a coal-to-methanol plant using indirect coal liquefaction technology, an attendant surface coal mine, and makeup water supply and product support systems. The complex would produce 86,940 barrels per stream day of methanol from 29,350 net short tons per stream day of lignite coal derived from the attendant surface coal mine. An additional 13,806 net short tons per stream day of coal would be consumed in coal-fired boilers to produce steam for process use and for power generation. The complex would have an annual production capacity of 29.6 million barrels of methanol and use 14.7 million tons of coal, based on a 93 percent operating load factor (340 stream days per year). It would also produce marketable by-products, including carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide would be sold at the plant site for shipment by the purchaser to the Williston Basin in western North Dakota for use in enhanced oil recovery projects. The product transportation system would involve a combination of pipeline interconnections, existing rail facilities, and truck transportation. A new 195-mile buried pipeline would be constructed between the plant site and Towner, North Dakota, where an interconnection with the existing Dome Pipeline would be made to deliver methanol to the Chicago market area. Up to one-fourth of the methanol would be transported by rail using existing Burlington Northern track between Dunn Center and Mandan, North Dakota. Distribution by rail beyond Mandan would be determined by available markets for methanol. The project schedule involves phasing construction and operations. Initially, a facility would be constructed to produce one-half the capacity of the full-size project as proposed. Commercial operation of this phase would begin four years after construction is initiated. The remainder of the facility would begin commercial operation two years later. A minimum project life of 25 years is planned. The project would require issuance of a water service contract to the Nokota Company for 16,800 acre-feet of water annually over a period of 40 years; the water would be removed from Lake Sakakawea. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to methanol, the project would produce other marketable by-products, including naptha, phenols, medium and heavy creosotes, ammonia, sulfur, and carbon dioxide. Thus, the project would contribute significantly to meeting the national goal of energy independence by producing alternative fuels from coal and by producing the carbon dioxide necessary for enhanced oil recovery. Peak level employment in Dunn and Stark counties would reach 5,240 four years after the initiation of construction. Once fully operational, the project would employ 500 mine workers and 1,620 plant workers. The process of outmigration that affects the area would be largely reversed. Taxes and other project expenditures would increase revenues of state, county, and municipal governments in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project activities would result in grading and filling associated with plant and utility corridor construction; depletion of 320 million tons of lignite; destruction and disturbance of geologic formations; sediment and consolidation of reclaimed mine lands; alteration of the existing topology; depletion of scoria reserves; soil loss; diversion of Slow Creek; reduction in the flow of Spring Creek due to alteration of groundwater patterns; depletion of 16,800 acre-feet annually from Lake Sakakawea; emission of 12,825 tons of sulfur dioxide, 13,735 tons of nitrous oxides, 935 tons of suspended particulates, 8,000 tons of fugitive dust, and 3,559 tons of carbon monoxide per year; loss of vegetation and associated wildlife habitat on project lands for the life of the project; increases in disturbances due to the presence of humans; conversion of 1,202 acres of farmland to industrial use for the life of the project and 2,840 acres to mining use at any one point in time; and placement of some stress on local and state social services. Construction and operation of the plant and mine during the first five years would result in a loss of 10 archaeological sites recommended as potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).

T1  - ORCHARD ARMY NATIONAL GUARD TRAINING AREA FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT, ADA COUNTY, IDAHO.
AN  - 36388941; 1718
AB  - PURPOSE: Improvement and new construction of facilities associated with the training mission of the Orchard Army National Guard Training Area in Ada County, Idaho are proposed. The project would involve improvement of the multipurpose range complex (MPRC) and construction of an on-site ammunition storage point (ASP) and a mobilization and training equipment site facility (MATES). Improvements to the MPRC would include construction of a control tower, latrines, a storage and maintenance building, a general instruction building, a range personnel and storage building, an ammo breakdown building, an ammo loading dock, enclosed bleachers, a vehicle holding and maintenance area, a graveled parking lot, and a covered mess area. Computerized sensing and programming target systems would be added to the MPRC. The downrange area would consist of three 6,000-meter by 966-meter lanes, each separated from the adjacent lane by a 51-meter buffer zone. Each lane would have approximately 7,500 meters of improved maneuver road with constructed defilade firing positions; the entire range would be serviced by approximately 10 miles of road. The MPRC would have 270 hardened target emplacements. It would require 12 to 15 miles of electrical service and 12 miles of source power trenching to the control tower, which would be located on Christmas Mountain. The MATES would be authorized to perform the direct support maintenance mission for small arms, artillery, combat vehicles, material handling equipment, electrical power generation, communications equipment, guided missiles, and allied trades. The MATES would consist of a 26-bay facility supporting approximately 600 pieces of motorized equipment and 130 personnel. Roads linking the MATES facility to the remainder of the Guard training area would be improved, and a 20-inch-diameter well would be installed to provide water for MATES. A three-cell lagoon sewer system and 350,000-gallon water recycling pond would also be constructed to support MATES. The MATES area would be fenced. The ASP, which would be relocated so that it would be adjacent to the MATES facility, would provide 21,075 square feet of ammunition storage to meet present requirements. Site facilities at the ASP would include storage igloos, roads, and office support buildings. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Improvement of the facilities, a project included in the Idaho Army National Guard's current five-year plan, would support the Guard's ability to meet its increasing responsibility for national defense. Currently inefficient ammunition storage and distribution systems, as well as a poorly located, substandard mobilization site, would be replaced by adequately situated and equipped facilities. State-of-the-art training facilities would be available to Guard units in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and other interested states. Construction activities associated with the MATES and ASP would employ 130 persons for 12 to 15 months, and operation of the new facilities would employ 75 persons on a permanent basis. Approximately $1.5 million would be added to the local economy. The new MATES and ASP facilities would result in savings of 11,000 person-hours and $500,000 in equipment and fuel annually. Upgrading of the MPRC would also provide jobs and other economic benefits to the local area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the MATES and ASP facilities would result in a permanent loss of 17 acres of wildlife habitat. Facility uses would result in the withdrawal of 200 acres of grazing land and consumption of 3.0 million gallons of groundwater annually. Upgrading of the MPRC would result in a loss of two acres of wildlife habitat and additional water and energy consumption.

T1  - APTUS INDUSTRIAL AND HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT FACILITY, TOOELE COUNTY, UTAH.
AN  - 36403497; 1707
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of an industrial and hazardous waste transfer, storage, and incineration facility in Tooele County, Utah are proposed. Under alternative (1), the facility would occupy 15.3 acres of the 1,200-acre Aragonite site, which lies approximately 34 miles northwest of Grantsville and adjacent to Interstate 80 (I-80). More specifically, the Aragonite site is located in W1/2 Section 9, SW1/4 Section 4, E1/2SE1/4 Section 5, and Section 16 of Tooele County. Under alternative (2), the facility would occupy a portion of the Clive site, which is located in T.1S, R.11W, Sections 30 and 31 of Tooele County. The incinerator at the facility would be designed to destroy both hazardous chemical waste materials as defined under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and toxic chemical waste materials as defined under the Toxic Substance Control Act. The proposed facility would incinerate up to 10 tons of waste per hour and operate approximately 7,000 hours per year. The transfer and storage area would operate 24 hours per day year-round. Construction of the facility would entail clearing and grading of the site tract and construction of a slagging rotary kiln, gas cleaning train, bulk liquid storage tank farm, drum storage building, transfer building, sludge and bulk handling system, and analytical laboratory. In addition to the on-site facilities, linear facilities to provide utilities and transportation (access road and rail spur) would be required. The transmission line extending from the Lakeside military exit would be upgraded to 25 kilovolts, and a 25-kilovolt electrical tap and telephone service tap would extend from the junction located north of I-80. A four-inch natural gas pipeline would extend across the Lakeside Mountains from northwest of Rowley. Trucks would reach the facility via a new two-lane paved access road extending from the I-80 interchange to the site. A rail spur would extend from the Union Pacific mainline. While the actual facility would be sited on private land, the associated transportation and utility corridors would traverse land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Development of the project would require the arrangement of a land exchange between the developer and BLM. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Operations at the facility would help relieve the nation of a portion of the hazardous waste it generates; 266 million metric tons of hazardous waste were generated in the United States in 1983, and this figure is expected to grow to 280 million metric tons by 1990. Relatively dangerous land deposition of the hazardous wastes incinerated at the facility would be avoided. On-site construction activities would provide employment for approximately 75 workers, and operations would employ 76 personnel. The facility would generate a significant amount of tax income for local coffers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The facility would consume 200 gallons per minute of groundwater, resulting in potential significant impacts on the aquifer and existing wells in the area. Transportation of hazardous waste by truck would increase the risk of spills LEGAL MANDATES: Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.) and Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 (P.L. 94-469).

T1  - WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE RED MOUNTAIN WILDERNESS STUDY AREA IN THE ARCATA RESOURCE AREA, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36402168; 1676
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land management plan for the 6,173 acres of public land within the Red Mountain Wilderness Study Area (WSA) of northern Mendocino County, California is proposed. The WSA, which lies along the Coast Range, is characterized by steep terrain and vegetative cover ranging from an open pine forest on unusual red soil to dense brush and barren areas. The preferred management scheme would involve the continued management of the WSA as a Research Natural Area (RNA) and Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC). The area would continue to be managed for multiple use. The RNA designation would indicate the significance and management direction, while the ACEC designation would provide the administrative mechanisms for protection of the area. The RNA/ACEC contains one listed and three candidate rare and endangered plant species, an old-growth Douglas fir stand that provides habitat for the sensitive spotted owl, a range extension of two conifer and two shrub species, the type locality for 15 species, rare soils, an important steelhead trout nursery stream, and the watershed of an important tributary of the South Fork of the Eel River. In addition to the lands within the WSA, the ACEC would include 220 acres of public land adjacent to the WSA near the crest of Red Mountain and 200 acres outside the WSA that contain unique botanical resources. The WSA would be managed for protection of ecological and scientific values, not as a general multiple-use area. Management directives would prohibit logging in the old-growth forest, prohibit off-road recreational vehicle use, provide for implementation of intensive inventories of biological resources, require rehabilitation of areas affected by erosion, and implement a habitat management program for Cedar Creek watershed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Vegetation, soil, fishery, and wildlife values within the area would be protected and studied to provide information on rare species and the means to preserve them. Erosion problems would be ameliorated, and unique habitat would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Conflicts between nickel, cobalt, and chromium mining activities and protection of other resources would probably continue. Development of these mineral resources, if allowed, would damage the pristine character of the WSA.

T1  - UNDEVELOPED COASTAL BARRIERS AND FEDERAL FLOOD INSURANCE (DRAFT SUPPLEMENTAL LEGISLATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT ON PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE COASTAL BARRIER SYSTEM).
AN  - 36399541; 1669
AB  - PURPOSE: Designation by the Secretary of the Interior of undeveloped coastal barriers and prohibition of issuance of new federal flood insurance on designated barriers are proposed. Coastal barriers are unique landforms generally paralleling the mainland and are found along the coasts of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. During the recent past, residential development on coastal barriers has proceeded rapidly, and substantial development pressure now affects more regions of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The National Flood Insurance Program has made the Federal Government the primary insurer of private property on coastal barriers. To redirect the economic risk of development back to the private sector, Section 341 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 prohibits the issuance of new federal flood insurance coverage on or after October 1, 1983 for any new construction of or substantial improvement to structures located on undeveloped coastal barriers. To implement the mandate, candidate areas along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts that receive the most extensive developmental pressure were evaluated for designation as undeveloped coastal barriers. Subsequently, Congress passed the Coastal Barrier Resources Act of 1982 (CBRA). Based on this act, the Secretary of the Interior has developed new alternatives in relation to designation of undeveloped coastal barriers. This draft supplemental legislative environmental impact statement assesses the environmental consequences of alternatives considered since the final environmental impact statement of May 1983; the supplemental statement is part of a study published by the Department of the Interior under Section 10 of CBRA. The action proposed in the supplemental statement involves the addition of approximately 1.0 million acres of land, including fastland and wetland, and some 490 miles of shoreline to the Coastal Barrier Resources System. Addition of the land would be accomplished through expansion of various components within the definition and delineation criteria for coastal barriers, namely, those concerning the composition of coastal barriers, associated aquatic habitat, secondary barriers, and "otherwise protected" coastal barriers. In addition, the boundaries of some existing system units would be adjusted to exclude development that existed in 1982 and land areas that were misclassified as coastal barriers. POSITIVE IMPACTS: To the extent that the proposed action limits new development, it would contribute to maintaining natural geological and ecological processes and the valuable fish and wildlife resources that they support. Development-related loss and disturbance of dunes, grasslands, shrublands, forests, tidal marshes, mangroves, and wetlands would be reduced. Significant floodplain and wetland areas would be protected. Sales of coastal barriers for preservation and recreational purposes would be increased, and diversity and productivity of aquatic habitat associated with the barriers would be enhanced. Approximately $785.0 million in federal subsidies would be saved, and up to $1.63 billion in post-disaster replacement costs could be saved by the Federal Government.

T1  - PHOENIX RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36402504; 1673
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for 911,000 acres of public land in two distinct geographic regions in Arizona is proposed. The northern region, which lies in Apache and Navajo counties, encompasses approximately 229,000 acres of scattered public land lying north of Sitgreaves National Forest and south of the Navajo Indian Reservation. The southern region, which consists of scattered tracts of public land in central and south central Arizona, encompasses 682,000 acres; the southern area covers all or part of eight Arizona counties. This statement updates land use planning decisions in management framework plans for Silverbell, Middle Gila, and Black Canyon. Key issues addressed by the plan would include land tenure adjustment, utility corridors and communication sites, areas of critical environmental concern (ACEC) and other areas requiring special management, off-road vehicle (ORV) restrictions, recreation management, and land classifications. The preferred management alternative would consolidate ownership and intensive management of public lands within seven designated Resource Conservation Areas (RCAs). Within these RCAs, attempts would be made to "block up" ownership by retaining 451,200 acres of public land currently under public management and acquiring 357,190 acres of private land in exchange for other public land. An additional 119,240 acres would be acquired through exchange if private landowners initiate exchange actions. Subsurface mineral ownership also would be consolidated under public management. Outside the RCAs, 427,000 acres of scattered public land would be available for disposal, primarily through exchange. Seven utility corridors for major systems and five communications sites would be designated. Six areas, encompassing 9,971 acres of public land would be designated as ACECs due to their significant historic, cultural, scenic, or natural values; an additional 5,680 acres of state and private land would be acquired and included in these areas. Nineteen Special Management Areas would be created. ORVs would be restricted to existing roads and trails. If the Coyote Mountains and Hells Canyon Wilderness Study Areas are not designated as wilderness, they would be designated as recreation management areas. Five cooperative recreation management areas would also be designated. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Land tenure objectives of the federal administrative body would be met, improving management efficiency and reducing administrative costs. The plan would result in significant improvement of watersheds, protection of cultural resources, improvement of ecological site conditions for vegetation on 256,444 acres of public land, an increase of 36 percent in public riparian habitat, general improvement of habitat conditions for five special status plant species and nine targeted animal species, expansion of open space recreational opportunities, and general improvement of the availability and management of intensively used recreation sites. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Ranch values lying outside RCA boundaries would decline by an average of 27 percent for small, 9 percent for medium-sized, and 3 percent for large ranches. Paper-spined cactus populations would decline due to disposal of public lands, and a portion of the habitat for the Little Colorado River Spinedance would be removed from federal protection. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Recreation and Public Purposes Act of 1926, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.).

T1  - CENTRAL CALIFORNIA SECTION 202 WILDERNESS STUDY AREAS WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS: SHEEP RIDGE, MILK RANCH/CASE MOUNTAIN, AND VENTANA CONTIGUOUS WSAS.
AN  - 36405443; 1674
AB  - PURPOSE: Three wilderness study areas (WSAs) within the Bakersfield District of the Central California Study Area are considered for inclusion in the National Wilderness System. Areas considered include the 4,905-acre Sheep Ridge WSA and 5,742-acre Mile Ranch/Case Mountain WSA in Tulare County and the 702-acre Ventana Contiguous WSA in Monterey County. The proposed action would designate the Sheep Ridge and Ventana Contiguous WSAs as wilderness and the Milk Ranch /Case Mountain WSAs as unsuitable for wilderness designation. All WSAs under consideration would be managed for multiple use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values would generally be preserved within the Sheep Ridge WSA, and recreational visitation of approximately 600 visitor-days per year, most of which would focus on Cherry Falls, would continue to be supported. Livestock forage within the Sheep Ridge WSA would increase by 15 percent. Fire hazards affecting giant sequoia trees in the Case Mountain block would decline somewhat. Motorized recreational access to the Ventana Contiguous WSA would be maintained at approximately 40 visitor-days per year, and 160 hunting days would be supported by the management scheme. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Vehicular traffic and parking near Cherry Falls would continue to degrade the pristine nature of the area somewhat, and prescribed burning would affect up to 20 percent of the Sheep Ridge WSA. Off-road vehicle (ORV) use on a 0.25-mile trail in the North Fork block of the Milk Ranch/Case Mountain WSA would result in some degradation of pristine values, and prescribed burning would affect 15 percent of the WSA for some visitors at 10- to 15-year intervals. Wilderness values within 25 percent of the Ventana Contiguous WSA would suffer minor degradation due to prescribed burning, and ORV use and fire suppression would also degrade the naturalness of the area somewhat. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of previous draft and final environmental impact statements on the Central California WSAs, see 82-0422D, Volume 6, Number 7, and 87-0056F, Volume 11, Number 2, respectively.

T1  - NORTHWEST COLORADO COAL PREFERENCE RIGHT LEASE APPLICATIONS, RIO BLANCO COUNTY, COLORADO.
AN  - 36396789; 1667
AB  - PURPOSE: Development of two coal preference right leases on land in northwest Colorado is proposed. Lease applications under consideration include the Chapman-Riebold C-0125366 and Jensen-Miller C-4275 applications. Development of the 640-acre Chapman-Riebold lease would require both surface and underground mining operations. The surface operations would utilitze the truck and shovel haulback method. Following topsoil removal, overburden would be drilled, blasted, and hauled to either a mined-out cut or to an overburden stockpile site. Stockpiled overburden material would be used to backfill the final highwall. Following overburden removal from the coal seams, the coal would be fragmented and loaded into haul trucks for transportation to the coal processing facility. Water trucks would be used for dust suppression. After removal of the coal, the open cut would be backfilled with overburden material from the next cut in the mining sequence. Portals to the underground mining operation would be constructed at the base of the final highwall of the surface mine. The conversion to underground mining methods would be initiated when overburden depth economically precluded additional surface mining. The underground mine operation would utilize either conventional or continuous mining equipment to extract coal by the room-and-pillar technique. Coal would be hauled by shuttle car, truck, or conveyor to the portal and by truck to processing facilities. A complete soil and overburden analysis would be conducted prior to submitting a mine permit application. The mining method proposed under the Jensen-Miller application would call for a small-scale surface operation. A bulldozer, front-end loader, haul trucks, and water truck would be the only mining equipment used. The coal seam to be mined dips between 11 and 12 degrees north and is located on the north flank of a ridge. Overburden is relatively shallow (20 to 30 feet) over the entire deposit. Of the 480 acres in the application area, only 120 acres would be strippable. The mining sequence at Jensen-Miller would call for stripping and stockpiling topsoil from an area near the base of the slope. The overburden from a cut, 40 feet by 100 feet, would be removed and stockpiled downslope from the cut. After ripping and removing the coal from the cut, topsoil would be removed and stockpiled from a similarly sized area immediately up dip. Overburden would then be ripped and pushed into the cut below. Coal exposed in the second cut would then be ripped and removed. This sequence would continue up dip either to where the coal was eroded away or until the top of the ridge was encountered. The cycle would then be repeated from the bottom of the ridge to the top, until the deposit was depleted. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Chapman-Riebold tract would produce 6.2 million tons of coal, with an average British thermal unit (Btu) content of 10,600 to 11,400, while the Jensen-Miller tract would produce 1.4 million tons of coal, with an average Btu content of 10,600 to 10,930. The local employment base and economy would be boosted somewhat due to construction and operation of mining facilities and production of coal. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities could degrade local groundwater and result in a decline in local raptor populations. Cultural resources could be destroyed, and big game winter range would be destroyed. Reclamation potential for the areas would be low. Approximately 325 acres of land within the two tracts would be disturbed. Access roads would result in disturbance of another eight acres. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Coal Leasing Amendments Act of 1976 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED PLAN AMENDMENTS FOR SMALL WILDERNESS STUDY AREAS STATEWIDE, IDAHO.
AN  - 36400651; 1678
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of land and resource management plans is proposed for nine wilderness study areas (WSAs) located in Valley, Twin Falls, Fremont, Bear Lake, Custer, Blaine, and Lincoln counties, Idaho. The WSAs under consideration include the 440-acre Box Creek WSA, 3,500-acre Lower Salmon Falls Creek WSA, 350-acre Henry's Lake WSA, 40-acre Worm Creek WSA, 3,290-acre Goldburg WSA, 1,930-acre Boulder Creek WSA, 3,100-acre Borah Peak WSA, 4,265-acre Little Wood River WSA, and 4,068-acre Black Butte WSA. The preferred management alternative would involve designation as wilderness of 340 acres within the Henry's Lake WSA; all land within the Borah Peak, Worm Creek, and Little Wood River WSAs; and 780 additional acres associated with the Borah Peak WSA. All other lands within the WSAs under consideration would be considered unsuitable for wilderness designation and managed for multiple use. The Lower Salmon Falls Creek WSA would continue to be managed as an Outstanding Natural Area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Management of the WSAs as proposed would result in continued availability of 500,000 board feet of timber over 30 years from the Box Creek WSA. Oil and gas exploration activities would be allowed in the Lower Salmon Falls Creek WSA. Management of most of the Henry's Lake WSA as wilderness would enhance the wilderness value of the adjacent Lion's Head roadless area, while the Worm Creek and Borah Peak WSAs would similarly enhance the adjacent roadless or wilderness areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Water quality within surface flows in the Box Creek WSA would decline, and fish populations would drop by 10 percent. Oil and gas leasing would be prohibited within the Worm Creek WSA, and timber harvest on 39 acres of commercial forest within the WSA would be foregone. Wilderness values would be lost on 930 acres within the Goldburg WSA. Approximately 10 visitor days of motorized recreation would be lost annually from the Borah Peak WSA, and the opportunity to explore for mineral and energy resources and to harvest 14,000 board feet of timber per year would be foregone on 3,880 acres within the WSA. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - ADOBE TOWN-FERRIS MOUNTAINS WILDERNESS PLAN, RAWLINS DISTRICT, CARBON AND SWEETWATER COUNTIES, WYOMING.
AN  - 36396289; 1684
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed for 107,955 acres of public land within the Adobe Town and Ferris Mountains wilderness study areas (WSAs) of Wyoming. The 85,710-acre Adobe Town WSA, which lies in Sweetwater County, is situated within the physiographic province known as the Wyoming Basin in the southcentral portion of the state. The 22,245-acre Ferris Mountains WSA, a small mountain range in northwestern Carbon County, lies in the same physiographic region. A total of 10,920 acres within the Adobe Town WSA would be included in the National Wilderness Preservation System, while the remaining 74,790 acres would be managed intensively to encourage production of resource commodities such as livestock forage and oil and natural gas. Development of oil and natural gas leases within the area not designated as wilderness would require drilling of 203 wells and construction of 490 miles of road and 510 miles of pipeline. Two wells, two miles of road, and two pipelines would be placed within the portion of the Adobe Town WSA designated as wilderness. Forage allocations within the Adobe Town WSA would include 4,068 animal unit months (AUMs) for winter range for domestic sheep; a total of 5,068 AUMs would be provided within the WSA. The management plan for the Adobe Town WSA would also include provisions for recreational uses, paleontological and cultural resource management, and wildlife habitat protection. The entire Ferris Mountain WSA would be included in the National Wilderness Preservation System and managed as a wilderness. Management objectives would include protection of wildlife habitat, visual resources, and opportunities for solitude and primitive, unconfined recreation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 80 percent of the natural gas underlying the Adobe Town WSA would be recoverable, while wilderness values would be retained on 10,600 acres. Protection of noncommodity resources within the Adobe Town WSA, particularly cultural, visual, paleontological, soil, watershed, and habitat resources, would be emphasized. Development of a road system within the Adobe Town WSA would make the area more accessible to motorized recreational uses, oil and gas developers, and grazing interests. Development of commodity resources within the area would enhance the economic situation of the population. Wilderness values within the Ferris Mountain WSA would be preserved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values on 84 acres within the Adobe Town WSA would be lost due to natural gas development. Oil and gas development activities would result in disturbance of an additional 8,500 acres in the area of the Adobe Town WSA not designated for wilderness uses. Opportunities to explore for and develop minerals within the Ferris Mountain WSA would be curtailed. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for 1.5 million acres of public land and 2.2 million acres of federal mineral estate within the Socorro Resource Area of the Las Cruces District of New Mexico is proposed. General issues addressed by the preferred management plan would include mineral resource uses, rangeland management, wild horse population levels, land disposition and reclamation, access, forest management, soil and water quality, air quality, fire use and prevention, wildlife habitat protection and improvement, cultural and paleontological resources management, recreation uses, visual resources protection, and wilderness designations. More specifically, the preferred plan would involve disposal of 100,320 acres of public land; acquisition of 81,200 acres of nonpublic land; retention of 1.4 million acres of public land; allocation of 1,940 animal unit months (AUMs) for livestock forage, to be increased to 29,948 AUMs; allocation of 330 AUMs for wildlife; implementation of vegetative land treatments on 164,000 acres in the East Socorro Grazing Environmental Statement and Chupadera Mesa areas; designation of the majority of off-road vehicle use as open or limited, with some road closures; identification of 30 special management areas (SMAs) encompassing 348,200 acres for implementation; designation of four SMAs as areas of critical environmental concern; provisions for a wild horse herd totalling 50 animals; designation of a wild horse range area; allocation of 27,640 acres to be carried forward for further coal leasing; application of protective fluid leasing stipulations to public lands totalling 1.15 million acres (including 34,000 acres on which no surface occupancy would be allowed); and elimination of existing utility corridors. Target species for vegetative land treatments would include snakeweed, mesquite, creosote bush, and sand sage. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Management of the resource area under the preferred management plan would provide for a balanced management direction with a goal of resolving the issues and concerns by providing for a combination of resource uses that would protect important environmental values and sensitive resources, while allowing for development of resources that provide commercial goods and services. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Management actions remove some lands from areas with potential for development of mineral resources, increase federal agency workloads, damage pinyon/juniper woodland, result in soil erosion and sedimentation of surface flows, affect levels of privacy for wildlife, and degrade visual resources in some areas. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - Archeological investigation for construction of proposed Skip Emmett access road and survey of proposed trailheads and trail sections, Buffalo National River, Arkansas
AN  - 16816625; 3758089
AB  - Archeological investigations were conducted sporadically from January 27, 1987, to February 25, 1988 at Buffalo National River, Arkansas. Because the proposed developments which required archeological survey were unrelated and occurred at various locations along the river, the fieldwork was not tied into an overall research orientation but was conducted on an as-needed basis. These investigations included survey and testing for the proposed Skip Emmett access road and survey of selected sections of proposed hiking trail including the Hathaway Hollow trailhead, Compton trailhead and spur trails, Buffalo River trail from Steel Creek to Kyles Landing, and Rush Ghost Town trailhead and interpretive loop trail. Three trailheads and over 12 miles of preferred and alternate trail routes were surveyed resulting in the identification and documentation of 14 archeological sites. Additional information was collected for one previously recorded site during investigation of the Skip Emmett access road. The purpose of the report is to summarize the archeological investigations conducted, report the results of the work, make determinations of eligibility for the National register of Historic Places, and offer recommendations for the management of the cultural resources encountered.

T1  - Montana and the Dakotas fish and wildlife 2000: A plan for the future
AN  - 16806932; 3757771
AB  - The purpose of the fish and wildlife program is to manage nearly 9 million acres of public lands in Montana, North and South Dakota in a manner providing suitable habitat for fish and wildlife within the multiple-use mandates. The primary means for accomplishing this are: (1) input to resource management plans, subsequent activity plans, and implementations of decisions for fish and wildlife habitat management, protection, and improvements; (2) coordination of day-to-day land management decisions, (3) implementation of habitat management and improvement projects, and; (4) coordination with other agencies. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages a large amount of habitat in Montana and the Dakotas. This habitat helps support the wildlife for a tremendous number of hunting and fishing opportunities for resident and nonresident recreationists as well as nonconsumptive wildlife-related activities such as bird watching and photography.

T1  - Water-quality data and estimated loads of selected constituents in five tributaries to the Chesapeake Bay at the Fall Line, Virginia, July 1993 through June 1995
AN  - 16220109; 4275178
AB  - Water-quality data were collected and loads of selected constituents were estimated as part of a U.S. Geological Survey study begun in 1988 in cooperation with the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. The study was designed to characterize concentrations of nutrients, suspended solids, and other selected constituents in Virginia tributaries to Chesapeake Bay by sampling during base-flow and stormflow conditions. A log-linear-regression model, using constituent-concentration data and daily mean discharge as input variables, was used to estimate monthly constituent loads for each river. This report presents the concentration data, regression results, and estimated monthly loads for the period July 1, 1993 through June 30, 1995. Data collected during the period July 1, 1988 through June 30, 1995 were used to create the regression equation. Water-quality data were collected at monitoring stations near the Fall Line of the James, Rappahannock, Appomattox, Pamunkey, and Mattaponi Rivers. Monthly loads were estimated for the following constituents: total nitrogen, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, dissolved ammonia nitrogen, dissolved nitrite-plus-nitrate nitrogen, total phosphorus, dissolved orthophosphorus, total suspended solids, total organic carbon, and dissolved silica.

T1  - Opportunity and challenge: The story of BLM (Bureau of Land Management).
AN  - 15991257; 2572808
AB  - The overview explores the broad aspects of public land policy and the growth of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the USA into a multiple use management agency. Chapter one outlines the policies by which the public lands were administered and details the events that led to the creation of BLM. Chapter two explores the problems the new agency faced and how it worked toward assuring proper management of the public lands and building a professionally competent staff. Chapter three describes how the Classification and Multiple Use Act changed the Bureau and covers events up to the report of the Public Land Law Review Commission in 1970. Chapter four looks at passage and implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act. The effects of other environmental legislation on BLM and its management of the public lands are also discussed. Chapter five covers events in the 1980s up to the present.

T1  - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE ESMERALDA-SOUTHERN NYE PLANNING AREA, NEVADA: WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS.
AN  - 36399248; 1636
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of land and resource management plans for five wilderness study areas (WSAs) in Nye and Esmeralda counties, Nevada is proposed. WSAs under consideration include the 33,900-acre Silver Peak Range WSA, 3,757-acre Pigeon Spring WSA, 81,550-acre Queer Mountain WSA, 66,800-acre Grapevine Mountains WSA, and 3,850-acre Resting Springs WSA. The five WSAs are located in southern Nevada in the Stateline and Tonopah Resource Areas of the Las Vegas and Battle Mountain Districts. The total acreage contained in all five WSAs is 189,675 acres. The preferred alternative management scheme would recommend 16,666 acres within the Silver Peak Range WSA and 1,184 acres adjacent to the area for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. The remaining 17,234 acres within the Silver Peak Range WSA and all other lands within the other four WSAs under consideration would be designated as unsuitable for wilderness designation and managed for multiple resource uses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values of naturalness, outstanding opportunities for solitude and primitive and unconfined recreation, and special features would be retained within 32,620 acres of the Silver Peak Range WSA, south-central core of the Pigeon Spring WSA, 45,950 acres of the Queer Mountain WSA, and 28,800 acres of the Grapevine Mountains WSA. Scenic, wildlife, and geological values of the Silver Peak Range WSA would be retained in the Icehouse and Piper Canyon and the Silver Peak caldera. Areas designated as unsuitable for wilderness designation would provide opportunities for recreation dependent on motorized vehicles. Mineral exploration and development would be allowed within areas designated as unsuitable for wilderness status. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values would be diminished on 4,345 acres within the Silver Peak Range WSA, 2,138 acres within the Pigeon Spring WSA, 35,600 acres of the Queer Mountain WSA, and 38,000 acres of the Grapevine Mountains WSA. Limited wilderness values of naturalness and opportunities for solitude and primitive and unconfined recreation would be lost within the Resting Springs WSA. Exploration and development of mineral resources and recreational access via motorized vehicles would be foregone on all unclaimed lands within the portion of the Silver Peak Range WSA that was designated as wilderness. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements for the Esmeralda-Southern Nye Planning Area resource management plan, see 84-0590D, Volume 8, Number 12, and 85-0470F, Volume 9, Number 12, respectively.

T1  - PROPOSED OPERATING CRITERIA AND PROCEDURES FOR THE NEWLANDS PROJECT, LOWER CARSON RIVER BASIN, CHURCHILL AND LYON COUNTIES, NEVADA.
AN  - 36396431; 1661
AB  - PURPOSE: Adoption of Operating Criteria and Procedures (OCAP) for the Newlands Project in the lower Carson River Basin near Fallon in western Nevada is proposed for 1988 and future years. The Newlands Project service area consists of approximately 73,860 acres of land that are entitled to receive irrigation water supplied from the Truckee and Carson rivers. The OCAP would consist of criteria to define the amount of water that the Newlands Project may receive (total diversions) and the timing of diversions from the Carson and Truckee rivers to meet Newlands Project demands. The proposed action would set a maximum allowable diversion that would be different for every year, beginning with 338,000 acre-feet for 1988 and gradually reducing the limit to 320,000 acre-feet or less by 1992. The OCAP would also include procedures for water ordering, monitoring and reporting project operations, diverting water through the Truckee Canal, making precautionary drawdowns from Lahontan Reservoir, adjusting the irrigation season, operating project reservoirs, promoting efficient water use, and enforcing the terms and provisions of the OCAP. Mitigation measures associated with the OCAP would include acquisition of a firm water supply for Lahontan Valley wetland areas through transfer of active project water rights; improvement of wetland water management facilities to enhance the ability of those areas to use high-quality spill water; implementation of programs to recoup losses of project reservoir fishery habitat; continuation of monitoring of the flow quantity and quality to and through the Newlands Project area to improve Newlands Project and wetlands management; continuation of the enhancement of fishery resources in the river system, including additional research regarding factors controlling spawning and survival success; and periodic review and revision of OCAP diversion criteria to reflect a better understanding of the water resource system and changes occurring in other areas that could affect the flow and quantity of water available to the Newlands Project and Pyramid Lake. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the project under the OCAP would increase flows to Pyramid Lake, resulting in improved habitat and water quality for cui-ui spawning; reduced shortages affecting the Newlands Project; an unquantified effect on fish and wildlife in the Newlands Project area reservoirs and wetlands; and an unquantified effect on Newlands Project production due to water conservation. The average level of the Stampede Reservoir would increase, thus increasing the recreational potential of the lake. Reduction of releases from the Stampede reservoir would reduce scouring in downstream areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Average Lahontan Reservoir contents in May and June would be below levels considered optimum for Lahontan Reservoir warm-water fish production. Severe drawdowns of the Lahontan Reservoir would occur during 7 of the next 80 years. Water supplies to receivers without water rights could decrease the economic viability of the affected receivers. Reduction of water flow to Carson Division wetlands could lead to the loss of wetland area or reduced productivity of existing acreage, decreasing the capacity of the wetland to support waterfowl. The concentrations of trace elements in wetlands inflow would be higher than current concentrations. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), and Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, as amended (16 U.S.C. 701 et seq.).

T1  - POTENTIAL EXPLORATION, DEVELOPMENT, AND PRODUCTION OF OIL AND GAS RESOURCES, VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36396757; 1618
AB  - PURPOSE: Adoption of a mineral resource management plan (MRMP) on Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) in California is proposed. The purpose of the plan is to provide for gas and oil resources exploration, development, and production on VAFB, while minimizing conflicts with Air Force missions and damage to the local and regional environments. None of the land within VAFB would be excluded from consideration for development; however, various conditions and restrictions that would be applied to development proposals in some areas could make development infeasible from an economic standpoint. Natural or human resource features that could constrain development would be placed into constraint categories of high, moderate, or low, depending on the degree to which the resources were protected by regulatory agency guidelines or their degree of environmental sensitivity. Highly constrained environmental categories would include 100-year floodplains, surface waters, habitats for three federally listed species, wetlands, coastal dunes, Bishop pine and tanbark oak forests, archaeological and historical sites, prime agricultural lands, and certain land use categories. In addition, there would be high-level environmental constraints on areas that were unmapped; these would include the San Antonio and Santa Ynez groundwater basins. Areas under high-level constraint to prevent interference with VAFB would include explosive clear zones, radio-frequency radiation hazard areas, and toxic hazard corridors. Areas under moderate constraints to prevent interference with the VAFB mission would include some explosive clear zones, certain toxic hazard corridors, areas contaminated with explosives, and line-of-sight restriction areas. VAFB mission requirements and restrictions, potential environmental impacts, economically recoverable oil and gas resources, and constraint requirements would determine the manner of development of each proposed project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Oil and gas development on VAFB would benefit the local economy through creation of jobs and income. Approximately 125 direct jobs could be created under a feasible development scenario. The lease development restrictions could reduce or eliminate potentially significant impacts from oil and gas development, providing protection to atmospheric, cultural, biological, and water resources as well as land uses and safety systems. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of oil and gas resources on VAFB could adversely affect the base's mission. The geologic environment of VAFB would be affected by petroleum operations due to construction of access roads, pipelines, well pads, and associated facilities. Using projections of likely oil and gas demands, a one-time use of 450 acre-feet for well drilling and cyclic steam demand of 1,000 acre-feet per year for 100 wells would cause further drawdown of an already overdrawn aquifer. This drawdown could impact the water supplies of VAFB and other basin users, as well as aquatic and biologically dependent species of Barka Slough and San Antonio Creek. Significant impacts on water quality could occur from an oil or gas spill or similar accident, and air quality impacts could also result. Several sensitive biological resources could be affected by oil and gas extraction regardless of how carefully MRMP restrictions were observed. Since no land area within VAFB would be necessarily excluded from oil and gas development, significant impacts could occur to cultural resources. PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 87-0174D, Volume 11, Number 5.

T1  - MISSOURI BREAKS WILDERNESS SUITABILITY STUDY, MONTANA.
AN  - 36388583; 1635
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of land use management plans for 12 wilderness study areas (WSAs) encompassing a total of 170,200 acres of public land within the Missouri Breaks area of central and eastern Montana is proposed. The WSAs under consideration are the 5,150-acre Dog Creek WSA, 4,800-acre Stafford WSA, 10,200-acre Ervin Ridge WSA, 8,100-acre Woodhawk WSA, 34,050-acre Cow Creek WSA, 12,350-acre Antelope Creek WSA, 5,900-acre Bridge Coulee WSA, 8,650-acre Musselshell Breaks WSA, 3,450-acre Billy Creek WSA, 20,250-acre Seven Blackfoot WSA, 13,850-acre Burnt Lodge WSA, and 43,450-acre Terry Badlands WSA. All of the WSAs lie within the deeply eroded Missouri River Basin, except the Terry Badlands WSA, which lies in the Yellowstone River Basin. The preferred management scheme would involve designation as wilderness of the entire Burnt Lodge WSA, 9,600 acres of the Antelope Creek WSA, 5,710 acres of the Seven Blackfoot WSA, 21,590 acres of the Cow Creek WSA, and 28,520 acres of the Terry Badlands WSA; in all, 79,150 acres would be managed as wilderness. Wilderness designation would not be conferred on the Dog Creek South WSA, Stafford WSA, Ervin Ridge WSA, Woodhawk WSA, 12,460 acres of the Cow Creek WSA, 2,750 acres of the Antelope WSA, 8,650 acres of the Musselshell Breaks WSA, 5,900 acres of the Bridge Coulee WSA, 3,450 acres of the Billy Creek WSA, 14,540 acres of the Seven Blackfoot WSA, and 14,430 acres of the Terry Badlands WSA; a total of 90,430 acres would not be recommended for wilderness designation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Primitive, nonmotorized recreational opportunities would be preserved or enhanced on 79,770 acres, and approximately 43,500 acres of land, possibly containing exploitable minerals, would be newly opened for exploration and development. Opportunities for solitude, diverse recreational uses, and visitation to scenic areas would be preserved on land designated as wilderness. Designation of Antelope Creek and Seven Blackfoot WSA land as wilderness would add to the physiographic continuity of the study units in the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 48 miles of vehicle ways and all wilderness lands would be closed to motorized access, impeding some recreationists who wish to use the area. Limited access for hunting in wilderness areas could reduce the effectiveness of this activity as a game management tool. Costs for livestock operators in wilderness areas could increase somewhat, and the value of ranches in such areas could decline slightly. Opportunities for exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves could be restricted or foregone in some wilderness areas. In areas not considered suitable for designation as wilderness, there would be some potential for long-term loss of wilderness characteristics due to natural gas and oil developments. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

Overall, the preferred scheme would result in wilderness designation for 27,364 acres and nonwilderness designation for 55,504 acres of land. Nonwilderness management of nondesignated lands would include measures covering range improvement projects, firewood harvests, wildlife management activities, use of off-road vehicles, mineral development projects, and backcountry recreation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designations to be made under the proposal would protect outstanding opportunities for primitive and unconfined recreation and solitude in the Browns Canyon and Beaver Creek WSAs and would protect scenic cliffs and deep, narrow canyons in the Beaver Creek WSA. Nonwilderness management of the nondesignated WSAs would allow exploitation of surface and subsurface resources contained in the areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Prohibition of off-road vehicle use in the wilderness areas would hamper access to points within the areas. The annual harvest of 89,930 cords of wood from the Browns Canyon WSA would be terminated. Management activities in nonwilderness areas would degrade the recreational value and pristine character of such areas. Operators of mining claims in the Browns Canyon WSA would be subject to restrictions concerning disturbance of the area during ingress and egress. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE SAN JUAN RESOURCE AREA, MOAB DISTRICT, UTAH.
AN  - 36405641; 1640
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan for 1.8 million acres of public land within the San Juan Resource Area in the Moab District, San Juan County, Utah is proposed. The goal of the preferred alternative is to manage public lands for multiple uses and to maintain grazing at existing levels. Certain primitive recreation opportunities, certain wildlife habitats, and watershed resources would be focal areas for protective measures. Mineral entry would be allowed at increased levels. Stocking levels of livestock would be maintained on existing allotments. Livestock use would be excluded from certain areas to protect wildlife habitats; these exclusion areas would include riparian areas along upper Indian Creek and Cajan Pond and bighorn sheep habitat on five mesa tops. Use seasons for livestock grazing areas would be altered, where necessary, to improve range management. Special designations or protective measures would be implemented at Instant Study Areas and portions of some Wilderness Study Areas to preserve primitive recreational opportunities or natural resource values. Surface disturbance would be allowed in some Recreation Opportunity Spectrum (ROS) primitive (P) class areas where such activity would be consistent with existing recreational opportunities. Reclamation of disturbed areas would be implemented in certain semiprimitive nonmotorized class areas. Native species would be used for revegetation in these areas to preserve natural settings. Recreational use would be allowed to increase, and additional recreation sites would be developed. Certain ROS P class areas would be closed to off-road vehicle (ORV) use unless limited use were necessary to protect other natural resource values. Watershed values would be preserved through protection of certain soils, and public lands would be available for the production of mineral resources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Surface disturbance would be minimized on 251,980 acres. Seasonal restrictions would protect wildlife habitat, and the wildlife carrying capacity of the area would increase. The area available for gas and oil leasing would increase, and the annual production rates of oil and gas would show a slight increase. The rate of soil loss would decrease, and surface water quality would improve, partly due to a decline in sediment yield. Sediment- and salinity-related costs would decrease, and recreational and wildlife use and related local employment and income would be increased. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Restrictions imposed on geophysical operations would result in long-term decreases in new field discoveries and subsequent mineral production. Vegetation losses would increase significantly in the short-term. The area available for forest product use would decline, and the area available for private and commercial fuelwood and forest product harvests would decrease. The area available for grazing would decrease, and livestock-related employment opportunities and revenue would be reduced.

T1  - PROPOSED MEDICINE LODGE, IDAHO RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN: WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS.
AN  - 36388552; 1634
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of land management plans is proposed for the 21,100-acre Sand Mountain Wilderness Study Area (WSA) and the 770 acres encompassed by the 39 islands that constitute the Snake River Islands WSA within the 647,719-acre Medicine Lodge Resource Area of Idaho. The Sand Mountain WSA lies in Fremont and Jefferson counties, while the Snake River Islands WSA lies in Bonneville County. More specifically, the Sand Mountain WSA lies approximately 10 miles west of the city of St. Anthony. The Snake River Islands WSA is located within a 25-mile stretch of Idaho's South Fork of the Snake River, between Swan Valley and Heise. Both WSAs would be managed for multiple uses, and none of the land within either WSA would be designated as wilderness. The Sand Mountain WSA management plan would involve management of the WSA as part of the Nine Mile Knoll Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) and the St. Anthony Sand Dunes Special Recreation Management Area (SRMA); management of a 1,780-acre Research Natural Area (RNA) for educational and scientific purposes; designation of the entire WSA as a National Natural Landmark; protection of tiger beetle and primrose, which are candidates for inclusion under federal protection covering threatened and endangered species, as if the species were designated as threatened or endangered; implementation of recreation activity limitations; establishment of a campground and a day-use facility; vegetative manipulation to improve big game habitat; livestock facility development; and acquisition of land inholdings owned by the state. The Snake River Islands WSA management plan would include management of the WSA as part of the Snake River System ACEC and SRMA; continuation of power site and reclamation withdrawals would be continued within the Snake River Islands WSA to keep key powersite locations, including Lynn Crandall Dam, available for use in the future; management of the 25-acre RNA comprising islands 45 and 46 for educational and scientific purposes; and implementation of special measures for protection of wildlife habitat, scenic values, and bald eagle nesting. Although the Snake River Islands WSA lies within a study area under consideration for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic River System, the management plan would be implemented under the presumption that the WSA area would not be designated as wild or scenic. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Visitor use in the sand dune area of the Sand Mountain WSA would increase as much as 350 percent by the year 2006, providing for an estimated 19,250 to 23,350 annual use days. The influx of recreationists would result in an annual income of $1.4 million redounding to the local economy. Big game wintering populations would be maintained at optimum levels, resulting in a stable population of 2,000 elk, 35 to 45 moose, and 1,200 to 1,400 deer. Livestock distribution and range conditions would improve substantially on 1,800 acres. Winter off-road vehicle closures within a 15,800-acre area in the western portion of the Sand Mountain WSA would protect solitude opportunities during the winter months. Wilderness characteristics of the Snake River Islands WSA would be retained for up to 20 years. Islands 16 to 27 would retain their wilderness and supplemental values for the foreseeable future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Naturalness would be reduced or eliminated on 410 acres in the Sand Mountain WSA due to vegetative manipulation and seeding projects, construction of recreation facilities, and water resource developments. Solitude and primitive recreation opportunities would be eliminated due to allowance of ORV use throughout the area during the spring, summer, and fall. Snowmobiling would affect solitude and primitive opportunities on 5,300 acres in the eastern portion of the WSA during the winter. Increases in ORV use in the Sand Mountain WSA could cause individual mortalities for less than five percent of the candidate species of tiger beetle and primrose. Creation of a reservoir within the Snake River Islands WSA would completely inundate islands 31 to 57. Islands 28 to 30 would also be lost or degraded by regular outflows from the dam. Bald Eagle nesting losses would result in a decline of 70 percent in eaglet births and a 75 percent decrease in the wintering population of eagles. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.), and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED LEMHI RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, LEMHI COUNTY, IDAHO: EIGHTEENMILE WILDERNESS.
AN  - 36388018; 1633
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a management plan for the 24,922-acre Eighteenmile Wilderness Study Area (WSA) within the 459,566-acre Lemhi Resource Area of east-central Idaho is proposed. The preferred alternative would involve designation of 14,796 acres within the WSA as wilderness and management of the remaining 10,126 acres, comprising the northern portion of the WSA, as nonwilderness. Lands not recommended for wilderness designation would be open for multiple-use management and development, including road construction and other activities that involve surface disturbance. More specifically, the plan would reduce the forage allocated to livestock from 2,733 animal unit months (AUMs) to 2,388 AUMs; maintenance of four miles of fence, one mile of water pipeline, and seven developed springs to support livestock; construction of two miles of fence, one mile of pipeline, and three spring developments to improve livestock forage conditions; implementation of a recreational resources management plan that emphasizes wilderness uses over nonwilderness uses; and allowance of phosphate mining on 1,920 acres. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 76 percent of the lands currently offering primitive or semiprimitive nonmotorized recreational opportunities would continue to do so. Mineral developments would help support the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values of naturalness and solitude would be degraded on the 2,470 acres of nondesignated land. A total of 7,656 acres of natural land could be degraded by human disturbance. Wilderness designation would remove 14,796 acres from all forms of mineral entry, and 15 days of off-road vehicle use would be lost. Primitive and semiprimitive opportunities would be lost on 24 percent of the lands within the WSA currently offering such opportunities. Tenmile Creek and Clear Creek could be degraded due to mining activity, and federal sediment standards would be exceeded within these surface flows. Approximately 500 acres of crucial elk winter range would be lost due to mineral developments; as a result, the elk population would decline by 120 or 50 percent. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements on the overall resource management plan for the Lemhi Resource Area, see 85-0460D, Volume 9, Number 10, and 86-0280F, Volume 10, Number 7, respectively.

T1  - CALIFORNIA VEGETATION MANAGEMENT, CALIFORNIA AND NORTHWEST NEVADA.
AN  - 36401286; 1625
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a 10-year program to control vegetation on public lands in California and northwestern Nevada is proposed. The proposed program plan would allow use of all available methods of vegetation control, with a total of 35,800 acres of land treated per year. Herbicides would be applied aerially to 5,200 acres, while ground vehicles and hand application methods would be used, respectively, to treat 800 and 900 acres. Manual methods would treat 500 acres, mechanical treatments would treat 2,400 acres, and prescribed fire would be used on 26,000 acres. The estimated cost of the treatment program is $25.99 per acre, resulting in an average annual program cost of $930,000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Program activities would ensure control of noxious and poisonous weeds and other harmful vegetation on public lands within the study area. Present annual allowable timber harvests would be maintained, and fire hazards associated with hardwood forests would decline. Production of desirable forage would be enhanced, supporting livestock, wild horses, and burros. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Short-term, moderate increases in smoke intrusions from prescribed burning and dust generated by mechanical and manual measures would degrade air quality. Some persistence of herbicides would occur in arid soils and in surface water, and soil disturbances would result in some erosion and sedimentation. Some nontarget vegetation species would be destroyed. All vegetative control treatments would have the potential of degrading the visual quality of treated areas. Accidental spraying of herbicides and aerial drift of such chemicals could result in some damage to wilderness areas and special use areas. Use of herbicides would entail some risk on the part of workers applying the chemicals. LEGAL MANDATES: Carlson-Foley Act of 1968 (P.L. 90-583), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), and Federal Noxious Weed Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-629).

T1  - PINEDALE RESOURCE AREA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, SUBLETTE, TETON, LINCOLN, AND FREMONT COUNTIES, WYOMING.
AN  - 36402455; 1642
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed for 931,000 acres of public land and 1.2 million acres of federal mineral estate within the Pinedale Resource Area of Sublette, Lincoln, Teton, and Freemont counties, Wyoming. The planning area includes the towns of Pinedale, Big Piney, Marbleton, and LaBarge. Only lands and mineral estate under the administration of the Bureau of Land Management would fall under provisions of the management scheme. The plan would encompass management actions vis-a-vis restrictions on surface disturbance activities, air quality, mineral resources, national history and paleontological resources, soils, watersheds, floodplains, wildlife habitat, livestock grazing, riparian areas, wild horse herds, forestland, wilderness, visual resources, off-road vehicle uses, recreation resources, wild and scenic rivers, cultural resources, access to areas within the resource area, fire management, and areas of critical environmental concern (ACEC). When completed, the management plan would provide management prescriptions for public lands and resources and for the allocation of resources. The plan would focus on four general issues as follows: (1) effects of livestock grazing and activities that would result in disturbance of soil and vegetation; (2) access and rights-of-way requirements; (3) identification of public lands suitable for disposal or retention; and (4) identification of provisions for off-road vehicle use and recreational needs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Restrictions on mineral development activities on 461,090 acres would increase big game winter range by 62,280 acres. Deferral of mineral leasing within the 5,200-acre Rock Creek ACEC and the surrounding 11,900-acre elk habitat area would preserve habitat and other natural values in the area. Criteria established to maintain minimum cover levels would help mitigate impacts on elk populations and provide sufficient habitat to support Wyoming Game and Fish Department population objectives for the resource area. Higher quality elk hiding cover would be established following logging activities, and minimum cover would be maintained at all times within important elk habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Restrictions within and adjacent to the Rock Creek ACEC could result in nondevelopment of extensive oil and/or gas reserves located in the area; access to Deep Madison gas underlying this area could be foregone. Costs of geophysical exploration activities would increase slightly and some activities would be displaced in the Rock Creek ACEC. Timber harvest activities would reduce total elk cover levels by 6.7 percent. Timber harvest layout and timing on lands under restricted management regimes would determine the degree of impact on elk. Summer and fall calving ranges could be subject to moderate to severe impacts if maximum allowable harvest is implemented. Timber harvest on specific elk ranges could temporarily displace elk and reduce hiding and calving cover during the period between logging and reforestation. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990 and Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 87-0063D, Volume 11, Number 2.

T1  - PROPOSED ALL AMERICAN PIPELINE PROJECT FROM THE SANTA BARBARA CHANNEL IN CALIFORNIA TO MCCAMEY, TEXAS (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1985).
AN  - 36403870; 1620
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of a 486-mile pipeline, with a diameter of 30 inches, are proposed to transport 300,000 barrels of crude oil per day from an existing tank farm in McCamey, Texas to interconnections with existing pipelines at Webster, Texas, a distance of 454 airline miles. The project would also involve construction of a 32-mile lateral line to a marine terminal at Texas City. The All American Pipeline Company has already completed construction of 1,213 miles of a 1,233-mile pipeline system designed to transport California crude oil from the Santa Barbara Channel and San Joaquin Valley in California to the Texas site. This supplemental environmental impact statement analyzes the impacts of the previously proposed Texas project and associated pump/heater stations during construction, operation, and abandonment activities. In addition to outlining the previously proposed alternative, one other previously considered alternative, and future conditions without the project, the supplemental statement identifies the currently preferred alternative, designated the Northern Route. The currently preferred alternative would traverse 23 counties and cross 69 major highways, 28 railways, and 116 rivers and streams. Six pump heater stations would be located along the route. All major stream crossings would include manual block and check valves. The Edwards Balcones Fault Zone Aquifer would not be crossed. Construction of the pipeline from McCamey to Webster and the lateral to Texas City would require approximately one year. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the pipeline project as an interstate common carrier for crude oil would benefit all regional shippers on an equal basis. The overall pipeline system, of which the project would be a component, would transport heavy crude oil from Santa Barbara County to refineries with the capability and capacity to refine the oil. The system would reduce the growing surplus of crude oil on the West Coast and provide oil to markets where oil is in demand. Transportation of the crude oil by pipeline, as opposed to tankers, would result in significant savings and reduce impacts to the environment resulting from spills. Two construction spreads required to implement the project would employ more than 300 employees each. Local tax bases along the pipeline system would increase by approximately 10 percent. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would displace 121 acres of riparian habitat, including that of the threatened Concho water snake, and the pipeline would cross above several municipal water sources. Rights-of-way clearing could result in the spread of oak wilt disease, and three sensitive plant species could be affected. Construction activities could also disturb habitat of the endangered Atwater's greater prairie chicken near Orchard and nesting sites of bald eagles south of Lake Worthington. The preferred route would cross 13 miles of steep slopes and 332 miles of sensitive aquifers. Groundwater impacts would include degradation due to cathodic protection deep-well ground beds and damage to wells due to blasting. Mineral extraction at the proposed Milam Lignite Mine and the Orchard Dome oil field could be affected, and slope failures in shale formation near Spring Valley and Cameron and on the banks of three rivers could result. Six known historic and prehistoric sites could be damaged during construction, 36 sites could be affected by operations, and a number of paleontologic resource sites could be affected. Fences, cuts, and open trenches would hinder movement of big game populations. Operation of the Texas component of the pipeline system would result in an estimated 8.8 spills, with an average volume of 37,500 barrels, damaging fisheries and other aquatic communities and affecting recreational activities in downstream reservoirs, river areas, and coastal zones. Noise levels due to pump heater operations would exceed 65 decibels on the A-weighted scale at nearby residences. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - HARDROCK MINERAL LEASING ON THE MARK TWAIN NATIONAL FOREST, CARTER, OREGON, AND SHANNON COUNTIES, MISSOURI.
AN  - 36396209; 1579
AB  - PURPOSE: Issuance of two hard rock mineral preference leases, encompassing a total of 3,700 acres within the Mark Twain National Forest in Carter, Oregon, and Shannon counties, Missouri, is proposed. The 119,000-acre study area is bordered on the south by the Eleven Point National Scenic River, on the west by the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, and on the southeast by the Irish Wilderness. Characterized by well-developed karst terrain and rolling hills, the area is dissected by numerous streams with major drainages provided by the Eleven Point and Current rivers. Lease developments would focus on lead, zinc, and copper. The preferred leasing alternative would change visual quality standards to permit mineral activities over a larger percentage of the area than is currently allowed. Stipulations to protect sensitive visual qualities in the area would include prohibition of tailings impoundments within areas visible from Highways 19, 99, J, and K; Forest Roads 3152, 3174, and 3190; the Eleven Point River; and the Ozark and Blue Ridge trails. In addition, power lines would not be permitted within the foreground of Highway K or Forest Roads 3169, 3173, or 3174, and mill sites and haul roads would be restricted from sensitive areas. The restriction against tailings impoundments would affect 60 percent of the study area; the power line restriction would affect 52 percent; the mill site restriction would affect 50 percent; and the haul road restriction would affect 39 percent. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the preferred alternative would increase the land available for mineral development and production activities, particularly those associated with lead mining, while maintaining existing water quality objectives, protecting areas of national significance, and protecting threatened and endangered species and their habitat. The cost of implementing mineral enterprises in the area would decrease significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Topography and other visual and recreational characteristics would be altered by mineral developments within the study area, and habitat characteristics would be altered. Some soil erosion would occur at sites cleared of vegetation for facility construction or other uses, and mining activities could alter water flows in some areas. The risk of release of tailings or mill wastes would be presented by the preferred leasing alternative, and fugitive dust could enter wetland areas. Impoundments located in floodplains would cause a long-term loss of floodplain values. LEGAL MANDATES: Mining and Minerals Policy Act of 1970 (30 U.S.C. 21a).

T1  - WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CALIFORNIA SECTION 202 WILDERNESS STUDY AREAS, BAKERSFIELD, SUSANVILLE, AND UKIAH DISTRICTS, CALIFORNIA AND CARSON CITY DISTRICT, NEVADA.
AN  - 36402329; 1586
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of land and resource management plans is proposed for eight wilderness study areas (WSAs), encompassing a total of 10,958 acres of public lands, located in the Bakersfield, Susanville, and Ukiah districts of California and the Carson City District of Nevada. The California WSAs include the 494-acre Garcia Mountain WSA, 130-acre Rockhouse WSA, 2,209-acre Domeland WSA, 80-acre Machesna WSA, 4,500-acre South Warner Contiguous WSA, 640-acre Yolla-Bolly WSA, and 2,391-acre Big Butte WSA. The 550-acre Carson Iceberg WSA in Nevada is also under consideration. The preferred land management scheme would involve designation as nonwilderness of all lands within the Garcia Mountain, Rockhouse, Domeland, Machesna, Yolla-Bolly, and Big Butte WSAs. The entire Carson Iceberg WSA and 1,187 acres within the South Warner Contiguous WSA would be designated as wilderness. All land designated for nonwilderness uses would be managed for multiple uses under existing management schemes applicable to the area in which each is situated. The portion of the South Warner Contiguous WSA to be designated as wilderness would be managed in conjunction with the South Warner Wilderness Area. The Carson Iceberg WSA would be managed in conjunction with the adjacent Forest Service Carson Iceberg Wilderness Area. Management actions to be implemented in conjunction with the wilderness and nonwilderness designations would include actions pertinent to recreation resources management, fire control, wildlife habitat protection, livestock forage uses, mineral and energy developments, vegetation enhancement, cultural resources protection, sensitive plant species protection, timber resources management, and land tenure adjustments. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation for 1,737 acres would protect the pristine values of these lands for present and future generations and expand already existing wilderness areas into appropriate contiguous areas. Multiple use management of areas designated for nonwilderness uses would allow for more intensive management actions to protect and exploit economic and recreational resources within the areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Access to lands designated as wilderness would be reduced significantly, limiting recreational use to those able to withstand primitive conditions. Exploitation of resources and management measures associated with multiple use development of nonwilderness areas would degrade the wilderness qualities of those areas. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE SHOSHONE-EUREKA RESOURCE AREA, NEVADA: WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS.
AN  - 36400551; 1591
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of land and resource management plans for three wilderness study areas (WSAs), encompassing 152,160 acres, within the Shoshone-Eureka Resource Area of central Nevada is proposed. The WSAs, which are located in Lander County and portions of Eureka and Nye counties, include the 87,400-acre Antelope WSA, 15,090-acre Roberts WSA, and 49,670-acre Simpson Park WSA. The preferred management scheme would involve designation of 83,100 acres within the Antelope WSA and the entire Roberts WSA as wilderness, and designation of the entire Simpson Park WSA as nonwilderness. Five miles of cherrystem roads within the Antelope WSA would remain open to recreational off-road vehicle use. Special features of James Wild Horse Trap, pristine spring meadows, and Indian relics within the Antelope WSA would receive particular attention. Special protection would be provided to arches, caves, fishable streams and waterfalls, and other scenic values in the Roberts WSA. Mineral exploration and development, particularly development of precious metals, and off-road vehicle use would be emphasized on the Simpson Park WSA. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Acreage designated as wilderness would be preserved to maintain natural values and opportunities for primitive and unconfined recreation and solitude. Wilderness values would actually be enhanced on most of the acreage within the Roberts WSA. Precious metals extracted from the Simpson Park WSA would contribute to the regional and national economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values of naturalness and solitude would be lost on 29 acres of land within the Roberts WSA and on 25 acres per year within the Simpson Park WSA, due to mineral development. Additional developments within the Simpson Park WSA would disturb 19 acres, and continued off-road vehicle use within the area would further disturb soils and vegetation.

T1  - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE WALKER RESOURCE AREA, NEVADA: WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS.
AN  - 36387982; 1592
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land use plan in association with wilderness recommendations for 92,995 acres of public land in the Walker Resource Area of Mineral, Douglas, and Lyon counties, Nevada is proposed. Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs) within the resource area include the 79,600-acre Gabbs Valley Range WSA and the 13,395-acre Burbank Canyons WSA. The Gabbs Valley WSA, which lies in Mineral County approximately 25 miles northeast of Hawthorne, includes a mountain range of hills and rocky ridges dissected by canyons and portions of adjacent outwash plains. Vegetation types in the Gabbs Valley Range WSA include greasewood, shadscale, sagebrush, pinyon pine, and juniper. The Burbank Canyons WSA, which lies in Douglas County approximately five miles northwest of Wellington and in Lyon County (1,065 acres), includes mountain ridges and canyons. The Burbank Canyons WSA includes pinyon pine, juniper, sagebrush, and meadow and riparian vegetation. Under the preferred land management plan, neither WSA would be designated as wilderness. Both WSAs would be managed under the existing Walker Resource Management Plan. The Gabbs Valley Range WSA would be open for moderate-sized open-pit gold mines at three sites currently under exploration. Other management actions in the Gabbs Valley Range WSA would include opening the entire WSA to mineral entry and motorized vehicle use; sale of 1,600 cords of pinyon pine and juniper growing on 400 acres to commercial woodcutters over the next 50 years; opening of 1,000 acres to noncommercial cutting of 4,000 cords; development of six of the nine springs in the WSA to protect the sources and associated riparian sites and to provide water for wild horses; allotment of 4,225 animal unit months (AUMs) of forage for livestock grazing; and management of wild horse populations. The Burbank Canyons WSA would continue to be designated as a scenic area. Specific management actions within the Burbank Canyons WSA would include opening the entire WSA to mineral entry; closure of the entire area to motor vehicles; and allotment of 120 AUMs and 1,110 AUMS, respectively, to cattle and sheep. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Exploitation of gold resources along the Gabbs Valley Range would promote the local, regional, and national economies. Other economic enterprises in the WSAs, including livestock grazing and woodcutting, would be maintained. Recreational use of the Burbank Canyons WSA would be maintained or enhanced, while wilderness values would not be significantly reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mineral exploration and development activities in the Gabbs Valley Range WSA would result in surface disturbances and require construction and use of new roads, substantially reducing wilderness values in the WSA, particularly in the basin of Redrock Canyon. Exploration on 496 unpatented mineral claims in the WSA would result in disturbance of 1,250 acres at a rate of 25 acres per year; most disturbance would occur in the southwestern and northern portions of the Gabbs Valley Range WSA. Exploration on 47 existing unpatented mineral claims would disturb 500 acres at a rate of 10 acres per year. Increased sedimentation and loss of four acres of riparian vegetation would occur along Red Canyon Creek. Overall, mineral development activities in the Burbank Canyons WSA would result in disturbance of 800 acres. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements on the overall Walker Planning Area Resource Management Plan, see 84-0538D, Volume 8, Number 11, and 85-0309F, Volume 9, Number 7, respectively.

T1  - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE ELKO RESOURCE AREA, NEVADA: WILDERNESS PLAN.
AN  - 36381261; 1590
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for four wilderness study areas (WSAs) within the 3.1-million-acre Elko Resource Area of Nevada is proposed. Areas under consideration include the 10,009-acre Cedar Ridge WSA, 7,847-acre Red Spring WSA, 42,213-acre Little Humboldt River WSA, and 6,685-acre Rough Hills WSA. The preferred management plan would involve designation of the entire Cedar Ridge and Red Spring WSAs for nonwilderness uses and designation of 29,775 acres within the Little Humboldt River WSA and the entire Rough Hills WSA as wilderness. Management actions undertaken in conjunction with the designations would include actions associated with livestock grazing and range management, recreational off-road vehicle use, other forms of recreation, mineral resources, woodland resources, exchange of private and public land to consolidate management regimes, and enhancement of Lahontan Cutthroat Trout habitat. Exchange of public and private land and trout habitat enhancement would occur in the Little Humboldt River WSA. All other actions would be applicable variously to all WSAs under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: All wilderness values within WSA acreage designated as wilderness would be maintained for present and future generations. The naturalness and primitive and unconfined recreational opportunities associated with such areas would be preserved. Uses allowed on WSA acreage not designated as wilderness would provide for exploitation of mineral, range, and recreational opportunities requiring surface disturbances and motorized access. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Areas not designated as wilderness would be open to a variety of uses that would degrade their pristine naturalness. Closure of WSAs designated as wilderness to motorized vehicles would limit access to portions of these areas. Withdrawal of wilderness areas from mineral entry would preclude development of economically valuable resources. Other restrictions on areas designated as wilderness would result in prohibition of range facilities that would otherwise enhance livestock carrying capacity in the affected areas. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements on the Elko Planning Area Resource Management Plan, see 85-0408D, Volume 9, Number 9, and 86-0240F, Volume 10, Number 6, respectively.

T1  - BLACK DIAMOND PETITION EVALUATION, KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 36401997; 1580
AB  - PURPOSE: A petition has been filed by the Citizens Concerned About Strip Mining to have approximately 800 acres of private land immediately adjacent to the city of Black Diamond in King County, Washington designated unsuitable for surface coal mining operations. The petition contains four primary allegations, three of which cover the entire petition area, including the Pacific Coast Coal Company's (PCCC) proposed John Henry No. 1 mine permit area. These three allegations contend that (1) natural-hazard lands, unsuitable for surface mining operations, exist within the area; (2) fragile lands, also unsuitable for surface mining, exist in the area; and (3) lands proximate to population areas lie within the area, again rendering it unsuitable for surface mining. The fourth primary petition allegation addresses PCCC's proposed John Henry No. 1 mine permit area only and consists of requests urging acceptance and processing of the petition as it relates to the proposed permit area and enforcement of buffer zones surrounding underground mines, public roads, and dwellings in the area. The Office of Mining, Reclamation, and Enforcement has rejected the petition as it relates to that portion of the petition area coinciding with the John Henry No. 1 mine permit area. As a result, the petition area has been reduced to 472 acres. The preferred alternative for this curtailed petition area would involve designation of Lake No. 12 and the portion of the East End Tract that lies within the Green River Gorge Conservation Area as unsuitable for surface coal mining operations. The life-of-mine Area A, Diamond Ridge Acres, and the remainder of the East End Tract would not be designated as unsuitable. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Extraction of coal available in lands declared suitable would provide a source of cheap energy for the region. Operation of the strip mine would provide local employment opportunities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Extraction of available coal from areas declared unsuitable for strip mining would be precluded, reducing the supply of cheap energy resources in the region. Strip mining in the areas designated as suitable for the activity would destroy wildlife habitat and aquifers and alter the soil composition in the area. The visual quality of strip-mined areas would be severely degraded during mining operations and altered afterwards. Ambient air quality would decline during surface mining operations. LEGAL MANDATES: Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 86-0102D, Volume 10, Number 3.

T1  - DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE FISHING BRIDGE DEVELOPED AREA OF YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK IN WYOMING, MONTANA, AND IDAHO.
AN  - 36387950; 1598
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a management plan is proposed for the Fishing Bridge campsite and recreational vehicle (RV) park of Yellowstone National Park lying in portions of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. The proposed management plan would involve removal and replacement of the 310-site campground and retention of most support facilities and the RV park. Support facilities to be retained at the existing campground area would include the general store, caretaker's residence, RV park, museum, amphitheater, and comfort station. The replacement campground would be relocated to a currently undeveloped area, to be known as Lodgepole, near Gull Point approximately 1.5 miles south of Bridge Bay. The vacated campsites at Fishing Bridge would be revegetated to return them to natural conditions, and a series of management actions would be implemented to mitigate the impacts on grizzly bears from human use and facilities remaining in the Fishing Bridge area. The management actions would include closure of Pelican Valley to off-trail travel, closure to human use during the spawning season of areas surrounding all spawning streams tributary to Yellowstone Lake that are used by grizzly bears, removal and relocation of all trails and campsites in prime grizzly bear habitat in Pelican Valley, removal of the Turbid Lake Road in Pelican Valley, assignment of special patrols to the perimeters of any remaining camping facilities at Fishing Bridge, and restriction of the Fishing Bridge sewage treatment plant road to administrative vehicle use. Before, during, and after construction of facilities at Lodgepole, the area would be intensively monitored to determine the effects of opening the new area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Conflicts between bear and human populations at Fishing Bridge would be reduced significantly, and a comparable camping facility in low-quality bear habitat would be provided at Lodgepole, near the lakeshore and the Bridge Bay developed area. Combined with many other improvements throughout the Yellowstone ecosystem, the reductions in bear/human conflicts could make a significant difference in the grizzly's chances for survival. Existing camping capacities would be maintained at lower operating costs. Facilities retained at Fishing Bridge would maintain the integrity of the encompassing Fishing Bridge Historic District. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of campsites at the new Lodgepole location would disturb and displace wildlife habitat, and increased human activity at the new campsite would disturb wildlife. The nature of the Fishing Bridge Historic District would be altered. During large floods, the Lodgepole campsite could be transformed into an island. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Executive Orders 11998 and 11990, National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

T1  - BROTHERS/LAPINE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, OREGON.
AN  - 36403054; 1552
AB  - PURPOSE: Establishment of a land and resource management plan for 1.1 million acres of public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management within the Brothers/LaPine Planning Area of the Prineville District of Oregon is proposed. The preferred alternative would involve harvesting approximately 7.0 to 9.0 million board feet (MMBF) of timber annually over seven years from 1,000 to 1,400 acres in the LaPine area; allocating 16,000 animal unit months (AUMs) of forage to livestock in the LaPine area; removing all wild horses; providing aggressive fire suppression for 500,000 acres; designating 600,000 acres for conditional fire suppression and fire use; limiting off-road vehicle (ORV) use on 267,076 acres; closing 10,722 acres to ORV use; expanding the Millican Valley ORV area to 65,000 acres; managing 47,180 acres for rockhounding; designating Horse Ridge Research Natural Area and 14 other areas, encompassing 36,916 acres, as Areas of Critical Environmental Concern; designating three areas, encompassing 1,565 acres, as research natural areas; authorizing public land for agricultural use if no conflicts exist; exchanging, leasing, or selling areas in the LaPine core areas; transferring to or exchanging with local governments land near Bend Redmond and Prineville to accommodate community expansion; allowing geophysical exploration and development of mineral resources and related rights-of-way; prohibiting surface occupancy for mineral development on 16,480 acres around Prineville Reservoir; instituting seasonal restriction of land uses on 44,580 acres of deer wintering areas and 3,560 acres of sage grouse strutting grounds; and restricting uses on 300,000 acres of visually sensitive land. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the plan would provide for optimum habitat diversity for wildlife and increase AUMs of forage available to livestock. Water quality would improve, and quantities of available water would increase in the long term. Recreational uses would increase significantly, and special research and natural values would be protected. The visual quality of the area would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Timber harvests would decline, reducing the availability of timber to local markets. Wild horse removal would eliminate a species that has been a long-term inhabitant of the area. Mineral exploration and development could damage soils and degrade visual resources in some areas. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - WINNEMUCCA DISTRICT WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS, NEVADA AND CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36405239; 1551
AB  - PURPOSE: Designation of land management regimes for 1.1 million acres of land within 18 wilderness study areas (WSAs) in the Winnemucca District of Nevada and Susanville District of California is proposed. WSAs under consideration include the 61,902-acre High Rock Lake WSA, 142,050-acre Poodle Mountain WSA, 75,404-acre Fox Range WSA, 12,969-acre Pole Creek WSA, 67,647-acre Calico Mountains WSA, 89,372-acre Augusta Mountain WSA, 32,041-acre Selenite Mountains WSA, 23,702-acre Mount Limbo WSA, 10,358-acre China Mountain WSA, 13,107-acre Tobin Range WSA, 20,508-acre Blue Lakes WSA, 5,142-acre Alder Creek WSA, 60,211-acre South Jackson Mountains WSA, 26,457-acre North Jackson Mountains WSA, 319,594-acre Black Rock Desert WSA, 57,529-acre Pahute Peak WSA, 30,791-acre North Black Rock Range WSA, and 69,683-acre North Fork of the Little Humboldt WSA. The preferred management would result in inclusion of portions of the following WSAs within the National Wilderness Preservation System: High Rock Lake, Mount Limbo, Blue Lakes, South Jackson Mountains, Black Rock Desert, Pahute Peak, and North Fork of the Little Humboldt; a total of 261,850 acres would be included in the national system. Wilderness designation would be withheld from the following WSAs: Poodle Mountain, Fox Range, Pole Creek, Calico Mountains, Alder Creek, Augusta Mountain, Selenite Mountains, China Mountain, Tobin Range, North Jackson Mountains, and North Black Rock Range. These WSAs and the portions of the other WSAs that would not be included in the national system contain a total of 856,617 acres. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Inclusion of the recommended WSA land within the national system would provide protection for ecotypes within the Intermountain Sagebrush Province. Unique landforms--desert gorge, glacial, and part of the Black Rock Desert complex--would be preserved in their natural state. Natural and primitive recreational values within protected land would be preserved for use by present and future generations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Resource development within the WSAs not to be included in the national system would damage wilderness values. Existing land rights would cause some minor management problems. Energy and mineral resource development that would be foregone due to preservation of land as wilderness would include geothermal resources, metallic mineral resources, nonmetallic mineral resources, and oil and gas resources. Interests holding leases for development of these resources would suffer economically. Land now accessible to off-road vehicles would be closed. Beneficial vegetation manipulation would be prohibited within WSAs designated as wilderness.

T1  - PROPOSED JARBIDGE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, IDAHO AND NEVADA: WILDERNESS STUDY.
AN  - 36402993; 1548
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of land use management plans for the 104,406-acre Bruneau River-Sheep Creek, 75,118-acre Jarbidge River, and 29,309-acre King Hill Creek wilderness study areas (WSAs) in Owyhee and Elmore counties of southwestern Idaho is proposed. The preferred alternative would involve inclusion of 20,800 acres in the Bruneau River-Sheep Creek WSA and 16,740 acres in the Jarbidge River WSA in the National Wilderness Preservation System; management of the remaining 83,606 acres and 58,387 acres in the respective WSAs for uses other than wilderness; and management of the entire 29,309-acre King Hill Creek WSA as nonwilderness. Plans for individual WSAs cover special wilderness feature actions, livestock grazing and range management actions, mineral resource development actions, recreation resource management actions, and/or management actions for the acquisition of state and private inholdings. Pipeline, fence, and other range improvement developments would be included in the management plans. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values of the designated WSA areas, including pristine canyon environment in the Bruneau River-Sheep Creek and Jarbidge River WSAs, would be protected for present and future generations. Forage within the WSAs would increase significantly. Mineral resource access would be allowed on extensive areas now unavailable for mineral resource development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Pristine wilderness values in the areas not included in the national system would be degraded due to development of mineral and rangeland resources. Motor vehicle access to some areas would be limited, reducing enjoyment of the area for some recreationists. Wilderness designation would detract from livestock operations by precluding some planned maintenance and new range projects necessary for use of forage at planned levels. Withdrawal of designated lands from mineral development would affect the local and regional economy. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft environmental impact statement (EIS) and a previous final EIS, see 84-0535D, Volume 8, Number 11, and 85-0463F, Volume 9, Number 10, respectively.

T1  - PROPOSED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE EGAN RESOURCE AREA, NEVADA: WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS.
AN  - 36400608; 1550
AB  - PURPOSE: Inclusion of 22,225 acres of public land within the Egan Resource Area of Nevada in the National Wilderness Preservation System and exclusion of 13,369 acres of roadless area within the same area from the national system are proposed. The Egan Resource Area lies in White Pine, Nye, and Lincoln counties. The land use management plan would withdraw 17,016 additional acres of the Goshute Canyon Wilderness Study Area (WSA) from mining laws; withdraw 22,225 acres from mineral leasing laws; allow mineral entry and leasing on 13,369 acres; allow some seismic exploration in search of oil and gas resources; continue range management actions and associated vehicular access in the Goshute Basin; designate 130 acres along the southwest boundary of the WSA as a commercial cutting area; and implement a cave management plan for Goshute Cave and actions to protect the Bonneville cutthroat trout. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Areas designated as wilderness would be preserved in their pristine state for present and future generations. Development of nonwilderness resources would provide positive input into the local economy. Habitat for Bonneville trout would be protected, and recreation resources associated with the Goshute Cave would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 63 acres of surface disturbance would result from mineral development. Cutting within the designated commercial cutting area would result in some degradation of visual resources. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft environmental impact statement (EIS) and a previous final EIS, see 83-0568D, Volume 7, Number 11, and 84-0473F, Volume 8, Number 10, respectively.

T1  - PROPOSED WILDERNESS PROGRAM FOR THE ARIZONA MOHAVE WILDERNESS AREAS, ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36395694; 1545
AB  - PURPOSE: Designation of 202,210 acres as wilderness within the Arizona Mohave Wilderness Areas of the Phoenix and Safford districts of Arizona and New Mexico is proposed. The wilderness study areas (WSAs), which include 74,254 acres that would be returned to nonwilderness resource uses, lie in Greenlee, Maricopa, Mohave, Pima, Pinal, and Yavapai counties, Arizona and Grant County, New Mexico. Decisions concerning wilderness or nonwilderness designation would be made for the following WSAs: Van Deeman, Mockingbird, Black Mountains North, Burns Spring, Mount Tipton, Grapevine Wash, Grand Wash Cliffs, Mount Davis, Mount Nutt, Warm Springs, South Bradshaws East, Sierra Estrella, Ragged Top, Apache Box, and Hoverrocker. Management plans for the WSAs, which would cover resource actions taking place within each area over the next 25 years, would involve management of minerals, wilderness resources, other land uses, rangeland development, recreational uses, cultural resources, and wildlife habitat and populations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values in a majority of the 15 WSAs under consideration would be preserved for present and future generations, while nonwilderness resource development would improve the regional economy. Wildlife and domestic cattle would be accommodated by the WSA plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mineral development in areas for which wilderness designation was not approved would degrade the pristine nature of the areas, devalue or displace recreational uses, destroy wildlife habitat and vegetation, and alter topography. Cultural sites in nondesignated WSAs would no longer benefit from the high level of protection afforded by WSA status.

T1  - GLENWOOD SPRINGS RESOURCE AREA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, COLORADO: WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS.
AN  - 36406945; 1632
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of land and resource management plans for four wilderness study areas (WSAs) within the 1.3 million acres of public land in the Glenwood Springs Resource Area of westcentral Colorado is proposed. The resource area lies primarily in Garfield, Eagle, and Pitkin counties, with small portions in Routt and Mesa counties. WSAs under consideration include the 330-acre Eagle Mountain WSA, 10-acre Hack Lake WSA, 15,000-acre Bull Gulch WSA, and 11,940-acre Castle Peak WSA. The preferred management alternative would involve designation of the entire Eagle Mountain WSA and 10,414 acres within the Bull Gulch WSA preliminarily suitable as wilderness, and designation of the entire Castle Peak WSA and 4,586 acres of the Bull Gulch WSA unsuitable as wilderness. The Eagle Mountain and Hack Lake WSAs would be added to the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness and the Flat Top Wilderness, respectively, both of which are administered by the U.S. Forest Service. Acquisition of 636 acres of state-owned mineral rights located within the Bull Gulch WSA would be purchased to preclude management problems in the area to be managed as wilderness. Land declared as unsuitable for wilderness management within the Bull Gulch WSA would be managed on the basis of the Glenwood Springs resource management plan (RMP), with an emphasis on forestry and wildlife habitat improvement. All land within the Castle Peak WSA would be managed within the same RMP, with an emphasis on forestry, improvement of aquatic environment and wildlife habitat, and enhancement of dispersed recreation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values, including special visual qualities in the Bull Gulch WSA, would be preserved and protected for present and future generations. Management of nonwilderness areas within the Bull Gulch WSA would allow harvest of 650,000 board feet of timber and 14,250 cords of fuelwood, improvement of 1,798 acres of crucial winter range for deer and elk, and off-road vehicle use at the current level of 200 visits per year. Management of Castle Peak as a nonwilderness area would allow harvest of 59 million board feet of timber, improvement of aquatic habitat along six miles of stream and within a three-acre lake, and off-road vehicle recreational use at the current level of 150 visits per year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values within the nondesignated lands would be degraded. The naturalness of nondesignated land within the Castle Peak and Bull Gulch WSAs would be altered.

T1  - DEER CREEK DAM AND RESERVOIR MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLY PROJECT, CONVERSE AND NATRONA COUNTIES, WYOMING.
AN  - 36396375; 1533
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan for the construction of a dam and reservoir on Deer Creek, a tributary of the North Platte River in southeastern Wyoming, to provide a reliable municipal water supply for the city of Casper, Converse County, Wyoming is proposed. The dam would impound a reservoir of approximately 66,000 acre-feet over 1,050 acres of land. Two alternative scenarios are proposed. Scenario 1 assumes that the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's (USBR) North Platte project would operate as it has historically, with no changes, including deliveries to the Inland Lakes. The Deer Creek project would be allowed to store water only after all senior water rights have been satisfied and after the Inland Lakes have been filled. The Deer Creek project would realize a firm annual yield of 64,000 acre-feet under this scenario. Scenario 2 assumes that the Inland Lakes would have a current-day Wyoming water right and would be allowed to fill from surplus natural flow after all senior water rights, including the Deer Creek project, have been satisfied. Under this scenario, it is assumed that the Inland Lakes would accrue the natural flow of the North Platte River in Wyoming when surplus was available, then from North Platte project storage, if needed. The Inland Lakes would receive the same amount of water at the same times as they have in the past under this assumption. A firm annual yield of 9,600 acre-feet would be provided by the Deer Creek project under this scenario. The Deer Creek project would involve 1,850 acres of land. Rangelands and free-flowing streams would be converted to a reservoir with adjacent recreation and wildlife management lands. Seven miles of stream fishery would be replaced by a reservoir fishery. A public fishing easement would be provided throughout the six-mile Deer Creek Canyon below the dam. A boat ramp, parking lot, and access roads would be constructed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide year-round minimum release flows. This would improve the stream habitat downstream from the dam. An estimated 40 acres of wetlands would be created by the presence of the reservoir. A 490-acre tract of land adjacent to the reservoir would be managed for recreation and wildlife. Recreation benefits of $359,000 per year would be realized by the Deer Creek project in the year 2000. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Projected releases and release temperatures may adversely affect trout spawning and survival. More than 1,000 acres of various habitat types would be inundated by the Deer Creek Reservoir. Approximately 120 acres of willow-wet meadow habitats would be flooded. Under Scenario 2, critical habitat of the federally endangered whooping crane, the interior least tern, and threatened piping plover may be affected. Eleven recently discovered cultural resource properties that are potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places would be impacted. There would be an average annual depletion to the North Platte River of 8,760 acre-feet under Scenario 1 and 11,940 acre-feet under Scenario 2. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

T1  - WEBER BASIN PROJECT, CHANGE OF WATER USE IN WILLARD RESERVOIR, DAVIS AND WEBER COUNTIES, UTAH.
AN  - 36388216; 1531
AB  - PURPOSE: Conversion of up to 33,000 acre-feet of water stored in or controlled by Willard Reservoir in Davis and Weber counties, Utah from the originally authorized irrigation use to municipal and industrial (M&I) use is proposed. The water use allocation plan would serve as an impact evaluation to assist in making water sale decisions on a case-by-case basis. Conversion of water use would involve raising settled portions of the Arthur V. Watkins Dam, which is a component of the Weber Basin Project, to the original design height. Water to be diverted for M&I use would include drainage return flows, storm drain flows, and some industrial waste return flows that enter the Weber River. If water from the reservoir could not be used for M&I due to low water quality, water would be exchanged for other water of suitable quality available from the Weber River system. The latter option would involve diverting water from the Ogden-Brigham Canal system near the mouth of Ogden Canyon into a purification plant; diverting water from the Weber River to the Davis and Weber Canal near the mouth of Weber Canyon; or replacing prior-right water used for irrigation on lands serviceable by the Willard-Layton Canal system. The Ogden-Brigham option would require construction of another pumping plant and pipeline. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Conversion of the water allocation would provide for expected urban growth in the Weber Basin Project area, which has averaged approximately three percent annually over the past 20 years. The plan also would be consistent with the decline in agricultural land in the area associated with urbanization. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Alteration of water use would affect the Willard Reservoir, associated conveyance facilities, and project lands originally intended to receive irrigation water. Water level fluctuations within the reservoir characterizing the current irrigation plan, which are significant, would continue to affect fishing and recreation resources. Continued urban development fostered by the reservoir could damage historic and archaeological resources as well as wildlife habitat. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990.

T1  - PROPOSED TRANS-ALASKA GAS SYSTEM, ALASKA.
AN  - 36405241; 1497
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of a Trans-Alaska Gas System (TAGS) as a 796.5-mile buried, chilled, high-pressure, 36-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline between Prudhoe Bay and a tidewater terminal and liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant at Anderson Bay, Alaska is proposed. TAGS would parallel the existing Trans-Alaska oil pipeline system in its entirety and a portion of the authorized but as yet unconstructed Alaska Natural Gas Transportation System. TAGS would include 10 compressor stations constructed at regular intervals along the pipeline to provide pressures ranging from 1,100 to 2,220 pounds per square inch, an LNG plant that would include four LNG processing units to liquefy gas at minus 259 degrees Fahrenheit and four LNG tanks, and marine terminal facilities. The operations and control center for the TAGS projects would be located in Valdez, headquarters and administration offices in Anchorage, and maintenance facilities in Fairbanks. TAGS would have a throughput of 2.3 billion cubic feet of conditioned natural gas. Gas pumped and processed by TAGS would be liquefied and exported by tanker to Japan, Taiwan, and Korea. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Exports of LNG allowed by the TAGS system at full operating potential would reduce the U.S. balance of trade deficit by $2.5 billion annually. Construction and maintenance of TAGS would provide substantial support to the area employment base. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: An employment boom during construction of TAGS would result in high levels of unemployment following the completion of the project, placing some burden on state and local social services. Approximately 23,000 acres of vegetated land would be cleared during construction, and moderate but long-term land use impacts would affect approximately 8,000 acres within the pipeline rights-of-way and areas occupied by related facilities. Operation of the terminal, compressor stations, and LNG plant would cause ongoing disruptions to ambient environments. Some surface and groundwater would be consumed during construction, and streams would be affected by turbidity. The marine terminal would displace 100 acres of benthic habitat, and an undetermined loss of seabird and waterfowl habitat would occur at Anderson Bay. Disturbance of 3,200 acres of wetland would occur, and Dall sheep winter range would be disturbed. Riparian moose habitat and swan and loon habitat would be displaced, and large game mortalities would occur in the Delta Junction area. Disturbance of endangered Arctic peregrine falcons and their prey could result from construction activities. Wilderness and other recreational values would be reduced in the area, and subsistence resources would be disturbed during construction. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Natural Gas Act, as amended (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - SCHELL RESOURCE AREA WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS, NEVADA.
AN  - 36396248; 1509
AB  - PURPOSE: Designation of land management categories for 425,023 acres of public land within eight wilderness study areas (WSAs) in the 4.2-million-acre Schell Resource Area, located in White Pine, Nye, and Lincoln counties, Nevada, is proposed. WSAs under consideration include the 73,216-acre Mount Grafton WSA, 53,224-acre Far South Egans WSA, 41,615-acre Fortification Range WSA, 35,958-acre Table Mountain WSA, 24,065-acre White Rock Range WSA, 88,175-acre Parsnip Peak WSA, 47,633-acre Worthington Mountains WSA, and 61,137-acre Weepah Spring WSA. The proposed alternative recommends the following: for the Mount Grafton WSA, 30,115 acres as suitable for wilderness designation and 43,101 acres as nonsuitable for designation; for the Far South Egans WSA, 42,316 acres as suitable for wilderness designation and 10,908 acres as nonsuitable for designation; for the Fortification Range WSA, the entire 41,615-acre area as nonsuitable for wilderness designation; for the Table Mountain WSA, the entire 35,958-acre area as nonsuitable for wilderness designation; for the White Rock Range WSA, the entire 24,065-acre area as suitable for wilderness designation; for the Parsnip Peak WSA, 53,560 acres as suitable for wilderness designation and 34,615 acres as nonsuitable for designation; for the Worthington Mountains WSA, 26,587 acres as suitable for wilderness designation and 21,046 acres as nonsuitable for designation; and for the Weepah Spring WSA, 50,499 acres as suitable for wilderness designation and 10,638 acres as nonsuitable for designation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Inclusion of the designated WSAs within the National Wilderness Preservation System would ensure preservation of the affected acreage in a pristine state for present and future generations. Primitive and semiprimitive recreational opportunities would be protected, and some special forest resources would be preserved. Wild horses in the protected areas would continue to roam freely throughout their habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Areas not to be incorportated into the National Wilderness Preservation System would lose some of their pristine character and habitat due to developmental activities. Mineral and geothermal resources within areas to be designated as wilderness would be unavailable for development. Two sites currently proposed for development of communication facilities lie within areas to be designated as wilderness, precluding the development of these sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 83-0241D, Volume 7, Number 5.

T1  - PROPOSED SAN JACINTO PROJECT, TEXAS.
AN  - 36400771; 1530
AB  - PURPOSE: A plan to supply water to help meet the growing municipal and industrial water needs within the San Jacinto River Basin in southeastern Texas is presented. The project is located in the San Jacinto River Basin, which encompasses all or parts of Montgomery, Harris, Grimes, Walker, Waller, San Jacinto, Fort Bend, and Liberty counties in southeast Texas. The recommended plan would include the Lower Lake Creek Dam and Reservoir, which would provide a design capacity of 89,100 acre-feet for flood control storage. The Lower Lake Creek damsite is located on Lake Creek in Montgomery County, between State Highways 2854 and 1488. Water supplies made available from development of the Lower Lake Creek site would be used primarily to meet the increasing needs of the southern half of Montgomery County, including the Conroe-Woodlands area and northern Harris County north of FM Road 1960. The embankment section of the dam would be zoned, compacted earthfill, approximately 13,080 feet long, with a maximum height of 84 feet in the river channel. The crest width would be 42 feet to accommodate the relocation of the Egypt-Honea Road. I-beam guardrails would be installed the entire length of the embankment section for traffic safety. The spillway would be a gate-controlled, concrete ogee-crest-type structure located in the right abutment, due to firm foundation conditions. An approach and outlet channel would be required. The main body of the reservoir formed by the dam would run in a west-to-east direction, with the upper portion of the reservoir having a northwest by southeast direction. The reservoir would be 2.2 miles wide at the dam and would back water up Lake Creek for 16 river miles. The length of the shoreline would be approximately 69 miles. The normal water surface or top of active conservation pool would be at elevation 183.8 feet. At this point the reservoir would have an initial storage capacity of 256,800 acre-feet. The reservoir would inundate 13,090 acres of land and have an initial firm yield of 65,000 acre-feet of water. A design storage capacity of 80,100 acre-feet of water would be provided between elevation 183.8 and 190.0 feet to accommodate floodflows. At elevation 190.0 feet, the reservoir would be 2.3 miles wide, back water upstream for 18 river miles, and inundate 15,660 acres of land. Minimal clearing is planned, with emphasis on maximizing fish and wildlife benefits and sports recreation associated with the reservoir, while maintaining a reasonable cost structure. The bulk of the clearing would be from the dam structure to the vicinity of the proposed damsite on the old Upper Lake Creek site. The total construction field cost is estimated at $215 million, with total annual costs of $23.9 million, for a benefit/cost ratio of 1.1. Based on the repayment rate, the annual costs, and a water supply of 62,200 acre-feet /year, the cost of water would be $1.13 per 1,000 gallons. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Benefits from the plan would consist of those derived from the improved municipal water supply ($19 million), flood control ($4.7 million), and recreation ($2 million). The proposed project would provide 62,200 acre-feet of water annually and 88,900 acre-feet of flood control storage. Subsidence and related problems would be reduced. Low flows would be increased and high flows reduced. The principal beneficiaries would be residents of southern Montgomery County. In addition, the implementation of flood control measures at the Lower Lake Creek site would benefit residents living downstream from the site along the West Fork of the San Jacinto River to the mouth of Galveston Bay. Wildlife habitat in some areas would be enhanced. The plan would have a positive effect on the bald eagle; populations of red-cockaded woodpeckers would remain stable. Net beneficial employment effects that would occur during the four-year construction period would be 215 man-years, based on an estimated 250 annual man-years attributed to project construction. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Nineteen miles of stream fish habitat and 13,000 acres of wildlife habitat, including 2,810 acres of bottomland hardwood, would be lost. Approximately 13,000 acres would be inundated, and 280 acres of prime farmland would be lost. Additionally, 2,013 acres of forested wetlands and 33 acres of herbaceous wetlands would be flooded by the reservoir. Approximately 460 residences, 7.9 miles of road, 1.2 miles of pipelines, and 35 oil and gas wells would be relocated. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Public Law 89-561.

T1  - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE SHOSHONE-EUREKA RESOURCE AREA, NEVADA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1984).
AN  - 36404090; 1510
AB  - PURPOSE: This final supplement to the final environmental impact statement proposes to implement a Resources Management Plan (RMP) Amendment that would manage livestock use and impacts on wildlife habitat from livestock grazing on a high percentage of the Shoshone-Eureka Resource Area, located in northcentral Nevada. The area includes most of Lander and Eureka counties and a portion of northern Nye County and contains 4.3 million acres of public land. A Proposed Amendment and a No Action Alternative examine different solutions to the resource management issue. Each of the alternatives is multiple-use oriented but differs significantly in the balance struck among resource uses. Under the Proposed Amendment, livestock use would be managed at 239,717 animal unit months (AUMs) (5-year average use) in the short term to determine whether such use can be maintained. In the long term, livestock use would be managed at 262,500 AUMs. A grazing management program would be established, designed to provide key forage plants with adequate rest from grazing during critical growth periods. This would be achieved through management of the livestock and wild horses at levels that would allow more plants to complete growth cycles and increase storage of reserves for future growth. In the long term, the goal would be to improve ecological conditions on 585,191 acres to good condition and 25,990 acres to excellent condition; to stop downward trends in ecological conditions on 464,873 acres and manage for upward trends on 634,868 acres; to improve and maintain 133,075 acres of big game habitat in good condition and 6,104 acres in excellent condition; to stop downward trends on 65,702 acres of big game habitat and to manage for upward trends on 144,186 acres; and to improve and maintain in good or better condition a total of 84.8 miles of aquatic habitat and 1,018 acres of riparian habitat associated with the streams and an additional 1,414 acres of other meadows, springs, and aspen groves. In the short term, 64 miles of aquatic habitat and 768 acres of riparian habitat associated with the streams would be improved and maintained, as well as an additional 1,067 acres of other meadows, springs, and aspen groves. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Terrestrial wildlife habitat would generally improve; implementation of allotment management plans and grazing systems would generally benefit wildlife habitat by controlling livestock distribution and utilizing forage; vegetation manipulation would increase livestock grazing; licensed livestock grazing use would have a significant beneficial effect on livestock industry employment; protected aquatic habitat and the ecological condition and vegetation trend would improve; improved riparian habitat conditions would provide wildlife habitat diversity and increase the number of wildlife using riparian areas, particularly sage grouse and nongame birds; net ranch income should increase by approximately $214,000, with an increase in the regional economy estimated at $450,000; employment would increase by a total of 16 additional jobs in the livestock industry; and an additional 13 jobs in the area economy would occur. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Winterfat foliage would be damaged by late winter grazing or heavy use; a potential adverse impact to mule deer could occur when livestock grazing is continuously deferred during normal plant growth; deer habitat quality could decrease, and fencing would impair deer and pronghorn antelope movement; and pressure placed on wild horses by actions allowed under the management scheme could reduce some herds to subminimum levels. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements (EISs) and the draft supplement to the final EIS, see 83-0348D, Volume 7, Number 7; 84-0127F, Volume 8, Number 3; and 87-0013D, Volume 11, Number 1, respectively.

T1  - PROPOSED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN AND WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE LAHONTAN RESOURCE AREA, NEVADA.
AN  - 36402006; 1461
AB  - PURPOSE: The proposed land use plan contains wilderness recommendations for 432,206 acres of public land in Churchill County and a small portion of Lander County, Nevada. The purpose of this final environmental impact statement (FEIS) is to analyze the environmental consequences of designating or not designating as wilderness all or portions of four wilderness study areas (WSAs) in the Lahontan Resource Area. The four WSAs are covered by the Lahontan Resource Management Plan and include Clan Alpine Mountains, Stillwater Range, Desatoya Mountains, and Job Peak. The proposed action recommends as suitable for wilderness designation those portions of WSAs with high-quality wilderness values. In addition, the action would limit conflicts between the wilderness resource and livestock use, recreational off-road vehicle (ORV) use, and development of known or potential geothermal and mineral resources. In this second FEIS, the proposed action corresponds to the preferred alternative in the Draft Resource Management Plan. Under the proposed action, 68,458 acres of the Clan Alpine Mountains WSA would be recommended suitable for wilderness designation and 127,670 acres would be recommended nonsuitable. The 94,607-acre Stillwater Range WSA would be recommended nonsuitable for wilderness designation. Development of two precious metals mines is anticipated, as is a 15 to 20 megawatt geothermal power plant. The proposed plan for the Desatoya Mountains WSA would recommend that 434,053 acres be designated wilderness, including 51 acres added to the original WSA to enhance manageability of the area, and that 8,260 acres be recommended nonsuitable for wilderness designation. Under the proposed plan, the entire Job Peak WSA would be recommended nonsuitable for wilderness designation. Development of a five megawatt geothermal power plant is anticipated. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The area's most spectacular scenery, natural areas, and outstanding opportunities for solitude and primitive recreation would be retained in those areas designated wilderness. Wilderness values would be enhanced slightly because of the redistribution of livestock use. Approximately 94 percent of the manageable woodlands within the Lahontan Resource Management Plan area would remain available for harvest. Within the Stillwater Range and the Job Peak WSAs, recreational ORV use levels would increase to approximately 500 and 580 visitor days per year, respectively, in the foreseeable future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: There would be a reduction of naturalness and opportunities for solitude on the acreage not designated wilderness. Woodland products availability would be reduced by approximately six percent within the Lahontan Resource Management Plan area. In the Clan Alpine Mountains, motorized recreational use would be eliminated on the acres designated wilderness and 45 visitor days would be foregone annually. Exploration for energy and mineral resources on the acres recommended suitable for wilderness designation would be foregone. In the Stillwater range, there would be a reduction in the area's naturalness and opportunities for solitude in the long-term primarily because of energy and mineral exploration and development activities and continued and increasing recreational ORV use. In the Desatoya Mountains WSA, motorized recreational use would be eliminated on the 43,053 acres designated wilderness, and 50 visitor days would be foregone annually.

T1  - PROPOSED WILDERNESS PROGRAM FOR THE UPPER SONORAN WILDERNESS EIS AREA, MARICOPA, MOHAVE, YAVAPAI, AND YUMA COUNTIES, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36401145; 1466
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of land management plans for 17 wilderness study areas (WSAs) containing 647,143 acres of land in the Upper Sonoran Wilderness Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Area of Maricopa, Mohave, Yavapai, and La Paz counties in westcentral Arizona is proposed. The EIS area consists of the Phoenix District's Hualapai-Aquarius and Lower Gila North planning areas. The proposed action recommends wilderness designation for portions of six WSAs and all of two WSAs, totaling 296,000 acres. Nine WSAs and portions of six, totaling 351,143 acres, are recommended for nondesignation. Those WSAs designated All Wilderness would be Wabayuma Peak and Aubrey Peak; those designated Partial Wilderness would be Rawhide Mountains, Arrastra Mountain, Lower Burrow Creek, Harcuvar Mountains, Harquahala Mountains, and Big Horn Mountains; those designated No Wilderness would be Planet, Black Mesa, Upper Burro Creek, Buckskin Mountains, Hassayampa River Canyon, Hummingbird Springs, Saddle Mountain, Black Mountain/Ives Peak, and Tres Alamos. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation would ensure the continued preservation of wilderness values. Designation would preclude most mining and oil and gas exploration, all off-road vehicle (ORV) use, road building, utility corridor construction and expansion, and other development. Designation would generally benefit desert tortoise, bighorn sheep, Hualapai Mexican vole, and riparian habitats by eliminating surface-disturbing activities and ORV use in those habitats. Wilderness designation would disallow the development of several power lines and pipelines in the WSAs. Designation would generally benefit cultural resources by preventing new development, which by improving access to sites and increasing visitation, often results in artifact collection and other vandalism. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Nondesignation would result in some wilderness values being lost because of varying levels of development. Wilderness designation would cause adverse impacts to mineral and energy exploration and subsequent development. Mining restrictions in designated wilderness areas would impose strict regulations on development of mineral resources. Thus, in many of the WSAs, mineral development would be foregone. Wilderness designation would close all designated areas to motorized vehicles. Disturbances associated with mining, ORV use, and rights-of-way development would damage some of the habitats in areas not designated wilderness. Increased nonmotorized visitor use to areas designated wilderness would disturb some bighorn sheep populations. Designation of certain adjacent WSAs would impact development of utility systems because passage of the anticipated utility systems would not be allowed. Wilderness designation could harm cultural resources by increasing the number of hikers and backpackers in WSAs, which could increase vandalism. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED UTILITY CORRIDOR RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, ALASKA.
AN  - 36388211; 1463
AB  - PURPOSE: A plan to manage 6.1 million acres of public lands in the Utility Corridor planning area in Alaska is proposed. An overriding principle of this presently proposed plan is to maintain the Utility Corridor for the transportation of energy minerals. No action would be allowed that adversely affects this primary purpose. The preferred alternative emphasizes the recreational opportunities within the Utility Corridor. The proposed management actions outline a program of intensive management toward the development of these opportunities while providing for energy transportation, the Corridor's primary purpose. All lands would be opened to mineral location except the area designated as the "inner Corridor," the Jim River and Prospect Creek, recommended wilderness areas, selected natural salt licks in the "outer Corridor," and the Kanuti River. All areas would be opened to mineral leasing with the exception of wilderness areas and stipulated setback areas on rivers closed to mineral location. The sale of mineral materials would be allowed throughout the area except in the Jim River annual floodplain and Prospect Creek streambeds and identified lick sites. Development nodes would be defined for the Yukon Crossing, Coldfoot, Chandalar, and Happy Valley. Lands to be made available for disposal include those south of the Yukon River, the Coldfoot node, and the remainder of the east-west corridor adjacent to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. New waysides, campsites, trailheads, and cabin sites would be identified and developed after completion of a Recreation Activity Management Plan. A transportation corridor would be reserved to provide future access to the Ambler mining district. An off-road vehicle use plan would be initiated after approval of the land use plan. The "upper Nigu block" would be recommended for wilderness designation; no other lands in the Central Arctic Management Area would be so recommended. Sufficient numbers of musk-oxen would be transplanted to support a viable population on Bureau of Land Management lands near Pingaluligit Mountain in the Oolamnagavik block. An inventory of fisheries resources would be encouraged in the Utility Corridor. The effective life of this plan is expected to be approximately 10 years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative was selected to provide a balance of multiple uses that would produce a range from recreational use to extractive use of resources to meet the national demand. Substantial increases in employment opportunities are expected due to increased oil and gas exploration on the North Slope. Total increase in employment could reach 50 to 60 jobs during the three-year exploration phase and 150 to 300 jobs during the development phase. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed plan could result in potential increased disturbances to soils in the area and in water quality. Increased recreation use and development of facilities would increase the impact on vegetation resources. Approximately 700 acres would be impacted by mining operations, with 186 miles of access roads; 760 acres would be impacted by oil drilling pads, including 61 miles of gravel roads and 100 miles of secondary access roads, resulting in 32,000 impacted acres. The greatest wildlife impacts would be to moose, Dall's sheep, and bears from increases in human and animal interaction. There would be a direct impact to cultural resources due to increases in recreational activity. A significant restriction to subsistence uses and needs could result from land sales in Coldfoot and the Yukon Crossing. Additional population in the area would increase hunting pressure on subsistence resources.

T1  - CASCADE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, IDAHO.
AN  - 36387964; 1472
AB  - PURPOSE: A resource management plan for managing 487,466 acres of public land in the Cascade Resource Area (CRA) is proposed. The public land holdings are located in Ada, Adams, Boise, Canyon, Gem Payette, Valley, and Washington counties in Idaho. The plan focuses on resolving three key issues: range resources management, land tenure adjustment, and management of the Payette River Corridor. Special management concerns also addressed in the plan include access, off-road vehicles (ORVs), fire management, timber base allocation, and special designations. After a five-year monitoring and adjustment period, livestock use would be stocked at 68,000 Animal Unit Months (AUMs), a three percent increase over current levels, with the 20-year objective of stocking at 70,536 AUMs. Range improvements would include 15 miles of pipeline and 60 miles of fence. Vegetative treatments would be applied on 18,279 acres and would be conducted with methods and seed mixtures of grasses, forbs, and shrubs that benefit both wildlife and livestock. Full fire suppression management would be applied to the entire resource area. The four-mile wild horse herd would be managed to support 20 head at the end of 20 years. Management of 181,640 acres of elk habitat, 275,250 acres of deer habitat, and 4,400 acres of antelope crucial winter habitat would be required, as well as provision of forage to support proposed populations of these animals. Brooding and nesting habitat of sage grouse would be managed on 185,860 acres. Habitat improvement projects would be performed on 23,912 acres. Riparian habitat improvement projects would be initiated along 7 miles and aquatic habitat improvement projects would be initiated along 11 miles of streams. For land tenure adjustment, 17,604 acres would be made available for transfer from federal ownership. Of this, 560 acres would be available for potential agricultural development under the Desert Land Entry program; 563 acres would be made available for sale; 10,107 acres for sale or exchange; and 6,374 acres for exchange only. Eight miles of the South Fork of the Payette River would be recommended for study for possible inclusion into the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Approximately 94 percent of the resource area would be open to leasable mineral exploration and development, and 94 percent would be open to locatable mineral entry. Withdrawals from mineral entry would total 31,185 acres. Special designation and management of cultural resource areas would be applied to nine sites. An allowable cut level would be applied to 26,663 acres of forestland. Cutting would permit a harvest of 1.7 million board feet annually. Limited firewood cutting would continue. Project costs needed to implement the preferred alternative would be $1.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Rangeland conditions would show a long-term improvement on 22 to 27 percent of the area. Improved habitat conditions would support an increased population of elk and mule deer. Candidate and sensitive plants would be protected in Research Natural Areas through management of mineral development, livestock use, rights-of-way, and ORVs. Total crop agricultural earnings and employment would increase by $529,700 and 24 jobs. The initial livestock stocking level would lead to earnings of $7.2 million and 333 jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Broad-based erosion would increase 2 percent over current levels. Fire management costs would increase approximately 3 percent. Negative impacts on soils would occur on limited and open ORV use areas. Moderate to severe rill and gully erosion could occur. An irretrievable loss of soil would occur on 560 acres of lands put into agricultural production. Wildlife habitat could be modified on up to 17,604 acres of transferred lands converted to other uses. Species most affected include elk, mule deer, sage grouse, and long-billed curlew. These areas would be committed for the foreseeable future. Approximately 2,531 AUMs of grazing use would be lost from conversion of transferred lands to other uses. LEGAL MANDATES: Clean Air Act of 1977, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7411 et seq.), and Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - OIL AND GAS LEASING IN THE ESCALANTE KNOWN GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURE (KGS), DIXIE NATIONAL FOREST, GARFIELD COUNTY, UTAH.
AN  - 36405277; 1457
AB  - PURPOSE: Impacts of various levels of exploration, development, and production assumed to occur under alternative levels of oil and gas and/or carbon dioxide (CO2) leasing within the Escalante Known Geological Structure (KGS) in Garfield County, Utah are analyzed. The KGS contains approximately 80,000 acres, of which 64,200 acres are National Forest lands and 14,000 acres are administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Information is provided on which to base recommendations to BLM relative to leasing of National Forest lands within the KGS. No plans of operation for development have been submitted to BLM. Five alternative levels of leasing and development are described. Alternative I is the No Action Alternative; Alternatives II through V allow progressively more leasing, involve a higher projected level of drilling and field development, and include different areas of the KGS. The preferred alternative, Alternative V, would offer new leases for oil, gas, and CO2 for all lands available for leasing within the Escalante KGS and would recognize the potential development of existing oil and gas leases in the KGS. Prior to conducting any surface disturbing activities, an acceptable plan of operation would have to be submitted to BLM for approval. Site-specific mitigation would be developed as a result of an environmental analysis of the proposal. The majority of lands available for lease within the KGS are managed for multiple use under the Land and Resource Management Plan for the Dixie National Forest. Therefore, leasing and subsequent development and production activities are in line with logging and other accepted uses under multiple-use management. Alternative V represents the maximum leasing possible and provides the maximum opportunity for exploration, development, and production within the KGS. A total of 37,100 acres would be made available for leasing, of which 12,163 acres are considered to be either too steep or inaccessible for development, or because of other resource values the lands are not considered occupiable. Based on this level of leasing, up to 68 CO2 and 32 oil wells could be drilled under the preferred alternative. This level of development may result in the need to construct approximately 64 miles of roads and the utilization of 129 miles of roads, in order to drill and produce the CO2 and oil. An estimated 130 additional miles of pipelines and powerlines and 11 compressor-dehydration plants would be needed to service producing wells if full development is realized. An estimated 559 acres would be needed to accommodate the development and operation of the CO2 and oil fields. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Economic benefits would accrue to local communities from increased employment, as well as from monetary returns to the state and county from lease rentals. Implementation of the preferred alternative could result in highly desirable economic benefits to the nation as well. Any increase in the production of oil would reduce imports and the balance of payments abroad. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, an estimated 559 acres would undergo surface disturbance and 2,236 tons of soil would be displaced. There would be a loss of productive topsoils, and erosion would result in sedimentation of lakes and streams. This alternative has the greatest potential for impacting wildlife and wildlife habitat. The impacts to wildlife and fisheries would be directly related to the amount of disturbance from drill pad and road construction, as well as from other vehicular and human activity and the sensitivity of the species. The increased road densities and accompanying increase in human activity, vehicular traffic, and presence of heavy construction equipment would probably displace some wildlife species from the area of activity to adjacent and possibly less desirable habitat. Activities involved in the development of leases may dominate the area's natural landscape. Conflicts with recreation use would occur from the presence of heavy construction equipment on major roads during the heavy recreation seasons. Noise from construction, drilling, and support facilities would alter the recreation experience. If any portions of the leases are developed, the activities and facilities associated with the exploration, development, and production of CO2 and possibly oil would be evident within the wilderness, and some impacts to recreation opportunities would be unavoidable. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 1987 (P.L. 99-500 and P.L. 99-591), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), and Utah Wilderness Act of 1984 (P.L. 98-428).

T1  - SOHARE CREEK UNIT EXPLORATORY OIL WELL NO. 1-35, PROPOSED OIL AND GAS DRILLING NEAR JACKSON, TETON COUNTY, WYOMING.
AN  - 36396023; 1458
AB  - PURPOSE: The Amoco Production Company of Riverton, Wyoming proposes to drill and produce from an 11,050-foot exploratory oil well on the Jackson Ranger District, Bridger-Teton National Forest, in northwestern Wyoming, 45 miles northeast of Jackson. The drilling and production proposal, known as the Sohare Creek Unit Exploratory Oil Well No. 1-35, is located in the Sohare Creek drainage, a tributary to the Gros Ventre River in Teton County, Wyoming, in the SW 11/4 of Section 35, T43N, R112W. Access to the proposed site would use 18.6 miles of the existing Flagstaff and Leidy Creek roads south from U.S. Highway 26-287. An additional 3.3 miles of new road construction would be required in the Kettle Creek and upper Sohare Creek drainages. A worker campsite to house drilling-related personnel on location is planned. The camp would be designed to hold a maximum of 30 people and would be located adjacent to the drill site, in order to centralize the drilling operation, to reduce the total amount of site disturbance involved with construction, and to use the drilling rigs' electrical power source for the worker campsite service needs. Total area of disturbance, including the drill site, production facilities, campsite, and access road, would be approximately 26 acres. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Bureau of Land Management's oil and gas leasing program is needed to encourage development of domestic oil and gas reserves to reduce the United States' dependence on foreign energy supplies. The proposed drilling action would result in major new road construction and reconstruction of existing roads. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Drilling of the exploratory oil well would cause short-term and long-term disturbance to and displacement of the human and natural environments. Earthquakes could potentially affect access roads by triggering landslides and possible road subsidence. All roading alternatives under consideration would have segments of steep slopes that would be difficult to reclaim. Construction and operation of access roads within 500 feet of a stream could increase erosion and subsequent sedimentation in streams. Access roads crossing streams would also increase sedimentation through channel bed disruption and readjustment, thus degrading water quality. Contamination of surface water by spilled fuel or drilling fluid and contamination of freshwater aquifers by drilling fluids or mixing of groundwater could occur. Increased sediment loading in streams could in turn result in a reduction in fish populations or available habitat. Impacts to vegetation and range resources directly relate to the clearing and disturbance of vegetation due to drill site and access road construction. Forested stands would be disturbed, and timber resources would be lost. Unavoidable adverse impacts would occur to wildlife throughout the life of the proposed project. Visual impacts associated with drill site and access would be significant if the well is productive. The proposed action would require changes in current recreation classifications in portions of the project area. If fully implemented, proposed mitigation measures would avoid or reduce all impacts to water, fisheries, vegetation, and wildlife resources to insignificant levels.

T1  - COLMAC BIOMASS-FUELED POWER PLANT, CABAZON INDIAN RESERVATION, RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36388111; 1456
AB  - PURPOSE: Final approval of a lease between the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians (Cabazon) and Colmac Energy, Inc. (Colmac), pursuant to Cabazon tribal resolution, is sought. The lease would permit the use of reservation land for construction and operation of a 45-megawatt (MW) (net) biomass-fueled electrical generating power plant and related facilities consisting of a fuel receiving area, a fuel storage area, a fuel reclaimer and boiler feed system, a power generation area, an administration building, and a 200,000 gallon water storage tank (for fire protection and process makeup water). The project would be located on the Cabazon Indian Reservation, one mile northwest of Mecca, in Riverside County, California. The plant would convert approximately 400,000 wet tons per year of truck-delivered biomass (wood and agricultural wastes from the surrounding area), which would be stored on-site and burned in the boiler of the power plant to produce steam. The steam would be used to turn a turbine and produce electrical power to be distributed to Imperial Irrigation District (IID) owned and operated power lines. The lines consist of an existing 92-kilovolt (kV) and two planned 115-kV power lines (a total of approximately 6.7 miles). In turn, IID power lines would connect with the existing Southern California Edison Company grid system. Water supply for power generation and other on-site uses would be obtained from on-site groundwater wells. Wastewater treated on-site would be used for on-site nonpotable domestic use, dust suppression, and possibly landscaping irrigation. Disposal of approximately 20,000 tons per year of nonhazardous ash, a by-product of the generation process, would require approximately three truck trips per day. The lease between Colmac and Cabazon can extend to 50 years. At any time between 30 and 50 years that the project becomes economically not viable, the plant would be shut down. In the event Colmac shuts down the power plant permanently, including the removal of aboveground structures, it would also remove the foundations and all other underground structures, if requested to do so by the Secretary of the Interior or the Cabazon Tribe. Construction costs are estimated at $70.9 million. Expenditures for maintenance and repair of the facility are estimated at approximately $1 million per year, the majority of which would be spent in the local area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed landscape plan would add color and texture to the existing views from State Highway 111, thus enhancing visual qualities in the foreground. Thirty-three full-time employees would be required on-site for the operation of the plant. Twenty-two of the 33 are expected to be filled by employees from the local area. Power plant operation would also create additional offsite jobs, in particular, truck drivers to haul the local biomass. It is estimated that 30 to 60 full-time drivers would be needed. The project would provide a significant new economic development for the Cabazon Tribe, would diversify the economic development of the reservation and yield long-term economic returns from a section of the reservation that has long lain dormant, and would provide employment opportunities for tribal members. Long-term productivity would be increased by reducing dependence on nonrenewable fuels and by productively using woody waste materials, which would reduce the amount of woody waste material that would otherwise be disposed of in landfills. Approximately $700,000 per year would be paid to Riverside County in possessory use taxes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: No significant impacts would result from implementing the proposed action. Emissions from the plant are likely to cause a minor decrease in ozone concentrations within 10 to 20 miles of the plant, and short-lived minor increases at greater distances. No escaping ash is expected during plant operation. No impact on water resources is anticipated from wastewater disposal at the plant since all wastewater would be treated on-site to prevent contamination of aquifers and soils. Noise from the operation of the proposed facility would be generated by on-site equipment and by project-related truck traffic. On-site noise emitters would include on-site vehicles, fuel receiving and preparation equipment, conveyors, turbines, pumps, fans, ducts, steam lines, valves, and other equipment. Pressure relief valves might generate high-frequency noise of an intermittent nature. LEGAL MANDATES: Clean Air Act of 1977, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7411 et seq.) and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1319 and 1321).

T1  - WESTERN MOJAVE LAND TENURE ADJUSTMENT PROJECT, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36402627; 1459
AB  - PURPOSE: The Western Mojave Land Tenure Adjustment (LTA) Project stems from concerns of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) (Barstow and Ridgcrest Resource Areas in the California Desert District in Riverside, California), Department of Defense (DoD) (Air Force Flight Test Center, Edwards Air Force Base (AFB) and George AFB), and San Bernardino County, California. Approximately 2.8 million acres of public and private land are involved in the Western Mojave LTA Project Area located in Kern, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino counties in the Mojave Desert of south-central California. The project area is bounded on the north by China Lake Naval Weapons Center, on the east by Fort Irwin Road and Interstate 15, on the south by the Angeles National Forest and the San Gabriel Mountains, and the Tehachapi Mountains on the west. Of principal concern to the three agencies is the current checkerboard landownership pattern over these 2.8 million acres, where ownership changes every square mile, promotes "leap frog" development, and is incompatible with the San Bernadino County General Plan's policy of logical and orderly development of the county. BLM desires to consolidate its checkerboard landownership pattern in several areas containing sensitive resources; the county would like to be able to guide urban development in the region to avoid a random, scattered pattern of "leap frog" development; and the Air Force wishes to ensure that air space corridors in the project area remain useable in the future. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are discussed. Each presents a somewhat different solution to the management of four central issues: the landownership pattern, multiple-use classifications (public land), land use categories (private land), and public health and safety. The proposed action, Alternative VI, would provide a level of benefit to the functions of all three agencies by promoting management of contiguous areas and the resources or resource values of concern. The plan provides for maximizing private land acreage identified for acquisition through exchange in the LTA Project Area (250,305 acres). This land has been identified as priority by BLM and DoD for resource management. A total of 124,544 acres of public land is included in the retention zone under this alternative. A maximum acreage (132,768 acres) would be included in the disposal zone. Public land in the consolidation zone (291,520 acres) would be designated Class L to minimize future conflicts with DoD activities. Public land in the retention zone (76,064 acres) would remain under existing classifications. Land in the disposal zone (154,016 acres) would be designated as unclassified. Private land in the consolidation zone (250,305 acres) would be considered for a Rural Conservation (RCN) designation, and retention zone land (192,614 acres) would be considered for a Rural Living (RL) designation to avoid future conflicts with DoD activities. Existing land use categories would remain on lands in the disposal zones. A Safety-Noise Overlay would be considered for the consolidation and retention zones within the supersonic/low level flight and ingress corridors, alerting local citizens to potential hazards and providing a basis of consideration in land use decision making. This would prevent degradation of the Air Force mission capability due to encroachment. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Positive effects of the proposed project for archaeological and historical resources include an increased number of previously unrecorded sites on BLM-managed lands, better landownership patterns for management of the identified cultural resource polygons, and the potential for more effective protective management of the resource base because of consolidated and contiguous patterns. More effective management of paleontological resources on both consolidated and retained public lands would result from consolidation of public lands. Cultural resource properties would be protected on RCN and RL lands; overall long-term access to recreation opportunities would improve; management of visual resources in the project area would improve; better grazing management would result; and areas that contain mineral resources or have potential for other energy source development should be benefitted by land consolidation. Military testing and training requirements would be well served by the proposed alternative. The project would result in a beneficial socioeconomic impact in Barstow and Victorville, as well as increased protection of the private citizen's health and safety. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Air resources in the project area could be degraded due to increased auto or industrial emissions; groundwater aquifers could suffer additional overdraft; and surface water quality could be degraded by additional pollutant loads to local drainages in Barstow and/or Victorville, if development occurs. The proposed alternative would result in the loss of 1,657 acres of desert tortoise crucial habitat, and the habitat of the Mohave ground squirrel would be greatly reduced. The exchange of land could result in the loss of three county borrow sites for road repair materials. The estimated cost to the county of hauling from more remote sites would be $15,000 per year. Portions of various grazing allotments would be negatively impacted, as would several sensitive plant species. The negative impacts would be more than balanced by the increased effectiveness of management. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED ROCK CREEK/MUDDY CREEK RESERVOIR, ROUTT AND GRAND COUNTIES, COLORADO.
AN  - 36395499; 1525
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of two water storage reservoirs in Routt and Grand counties in western Colorado are proposed. The alternatives are Rock Creek Reservoir in the Routt National Forest and Muddy Creek Reservoir in the Kremmling Resource Area. The proposed interim operation of the project involves the lease of a major portion of the reservoir yield to the Denver Water Board for 25 years. The Rock Creek site is the applicant's proposed action and is located just south of State Highway 134 west of Gore Pass, where Rock Creek enters a narrow valley. The Rock Creek Dam is proposed to be a roller compacted concrete (RCC) gravity dam, that would rise 172 feet above the existing streambed and impound 50,700 acre-feet of water. The Muddy Creek alternative was sized to be functionally equivalent to the Rock Creek project, with the site located just west of Wolford Mountain (five miles north of Kremmling, Colorado). The Muddy Creek Dam would be a zoned earthfill dam with a dam crest located 110 feet above the present streambed. It would create a 46,800 acre-foot capacity reservoir. The alternatives considered are similar in terms of costs, operations, and yields. The differences between the alternatives relate to socioeconomic effects, environmental impacts, and the projected effectiveness of mitigating these impacts. Total project cost of Rock Creek is estimated at $17.9 million; total project cost of Muddy Creek is estimated at $19.5 million. Due to the lease with Denver, the cost /benefit value is 2.5 for the reservoir. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Beneficial impacts of both alternatives include increased recreational use of the reservoirs and associated campgrounds, reservoir fish habitat, and the economic benefits of the recreational use. Muddy Creek would also create a potential benefit in a cold water trout fishery in the tailwater of the dam. Hired labor would consist of 487 man-months in the first year and 485 man-months in the second year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Rock Creek alternative would cause significant adverse impacts to wetlands, stream fish habitat, big game habitat (elk and deer), visual resources, and stream recreation, and could cause social conflict between different user groups. Mitigation would alleviate most of the impacts to wetlands and some of the impacts to fish and wildlife habitat. The Muddy Creek alternative would also impact wetlands, a candidate federal rare plant, big game habitat (elk and deer), and visual resources. Mitigation would alleviate the wetland and wildlife impacts and most of the rare plant and visual impacts.

T1  - GUNNISON BASIN AND THE AMERICAN FLATS/SILVERTON WILDERNESS, COLORADO.
AN  - 36406247; 1470
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of management plans and policy decisions for five wilderness study areas encompassing 65,415 acres within the Gunnison Basin and American Flats/Silverton Planning Unit of the Montrose District of Colorado is proposed. The Montrose District lies in the southwestern portion of the state. The areas under consideration include the 40,575-acre Redcloud Peak Area, the 18,860-acre Handies Peak Area, the 4,710-acre American Flats Area, the 370-acre Bill Hare Gulch Area, and the 900-acre Larson Creek Area. The preferred management scheme would designate a total of 39,790 acres of public land within the areas for inclusion in the National Wilderness System. Land to be designated as wilderness would include 30,400 acres within the Redcloud Peak area, 7,885 acres within the Handies Peak Area, 1,505 acres within the American Flats Area, and no acres from either the Bill Hare Gulch or Larson Creek areas. A total of 10,115 acres of the designated land would be contiguous to land already designated as wilderness. Land not designated as wilderness would be managed under various other management regimes. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Acreage designated as wilderness would be protected from alteration due to human encroachment. As a result, the pristine character of the designated areas would be preserved for present and future generations. Mineral development and other uses in the remaining acreage would provide economic benefits locally, regionally, and nationally. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Acreage not designated as wilderness would be vulnerable to alteration via mining and management activities, which would degrade wilderness values in these areas and preclude possible future inclusion of the area in the National Wilderness System. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 82-0299D, Volume 6, Number 5.

T1  - WELLS RESOURCE AREA WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS, BLUEBELL, GOSHUTE PEAK, SOUTH PEQUOP, AND BAD LANDS WILDERNESS STUDY AREAS, ELKO COUNTY, NEVADA.
AN  - 36402350; 1474
AB  - PURPOSE: A management plan to preserve the wilderness characteristics on 145,287 Bureau of Land Management (BLM) acres and continue to manage 30,664 additional BLM acres for uses other than wilderness in portions of the Bluebell, Goshute Peak, South Pequop, and Bad Lands wilderness study areas (WSAs) in Elko County, Nevada is proposed. Under the proposed action, 41,324 acres of the Bluebell WSA, 61,004 acres of the Goshute Peak WSA, 34,544 acres of the South Pequop WSA, and 8,415 acres of the Bad Lands WSA would be recommended suitable for wilderness designation, and 14,341 acres of the Bluebell, 8,766 acres of the Goshute Peak, 6,546 acres of the South Pequop, and 1,011 acres of the Bad Lands WSA would be designated unsuitable. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In the areas designated as wilderness, naturalness, solitude, and opportunities for primitive and unconfined recreation would be maintained. In the areas not designated wilderness, off-road vehicle (ORV) use, all forms of mineral entry and leasing, and harvest of woodland products could continue. Fragile and unique resources would be protected, while access to economically exploitable resources would not be overly restricted. The plan would allow access for recreational and management purposes, ease the development of transportation and utility corridors, and preserve a significant wilderness resource. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: In the areas designated unsuitable for wilderness, naturalness would be lost due to mining and timbering activities. Exploration for mineral resources, the harvest of woodland products, and recreational ORV use would be precluded in those areas designated suitable for wilderness. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements for the resource management plan, see 83-0302D, Volume 7, Number 6, and 84-0073F, Volume 8, Number 2, respectively.

T1  - PROPOSED WILDERNESS PROGRAM FOR THE YUMA DISTRICT WILDERNESS EIS AREA, LAPAZ, MOHAVE, AND YUMA COUNTIES, ARIZONA AND IMPERIAL, RIVERSIDE, AND SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36395685; 1467
AB  - PURPOSE: Designation as wilderness of all or portions of 22 wilderness study areas (WSAs) located within the Yuma District in LaPaz, Mohave, and Yuma counties, Arizona and Imperial, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties, California is proposed. Of the 22 WSAs, 10 would be recommended for no wilderness, 2 (Chemehuevi/Needles Addition and East Cactus Plain) for all wilderness, and the remaining 10 for partial wilderness. A total of 234,858 acres would be designated wilderness and 158,367 acres nonwilderness. Valid existing mineral rights would allow mining activities in a designated wilderness to continue. Vehicles would be prohibited in designated areas, and a wilderness permit system would be established to control visitor use in sensitive areas. Mitigating measures would preserve scientific information and other cultural values for any cultural resources. Threatened and endangered wildlife and plant species would be considered as required by law. No new road construction would be involved in the development or maintenance of any wildlife habitat improvements within the WSAs. Burro monitoring plots would be allowed within designated wilderness if deemed necessary; access to plots in designated wilderness would be accomplished by foot or horseback. New utilities would not be constructed in corridor segments within designated wilderness areas; in cases where existing power lines form the boundary of designated wilderness areas, access for maintenance would be prevented on the side that adjoins the wilderness. Development and maintenance of range improvements would be allowed if the improvements meet the nonimpairment and minimum tool criteria in the Wilderness Management Policy. Increases in livestock use would be allowed when multiple-use monitoring data clearly indicate that additional forage is available and can be grazed without impairment of wilderness values or damage to other multiple-use resources or values. Restrictions would be placed on the customary use of motorized vehicles to check on livestock and water facilities, haul salt, conduct monitoring studies, and supervise grazing use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation would ensure the continued preservation and enhancement of wilderness values because designation would preclude some mining and all other types of development. Wilderness designation would increase annual recreation visitor use in some WSAs. Generally, cultural resources would benefit from the prevention of new development that improves access to cultural sites, often resulting in vandalism. Wilderness designation would generally benefit traditional Native American values. Wildlife habitat and sensitive plant habitat would be protected from long-term cumulative habitat losses. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Nondesignation would result in the impairment of some wilderness values because varying levels of development would be allowed in those WSAs not designated. Wilderness designation would cause adverse impacts to mineral and energy exploration and development. It would eliminate motorized recreation activity and result in a general decrease in total recreation use, because most existing recreation use is motorized. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - UNCOMPAHGRE BASIN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN AND WILDERNESS TECHNICAL SUPPLEMENT, DELTA, GUNNISON, MESA, MONTROSE, AND OURAY COUNTIES, COLORADO.
AN  - 36387936; 1471
AB  - PURPOSE: Options for future management of the public lands in the Uncompahgre Basin planning area portion of the Uncompahgre Basin Resource Area in west-central Colorado are identified and analyzed. The planning area encompasses a total of approximately 1.38 million acres in the Montrose district. Under the preferred alternative, the planning area would be managed using the multiple-use concept, with restrictions applied so that objectives would be achieved, statutory requirements and policy commitments would be met, and identified issues would be resolved in a balanced, cost-effective manner. Existing air quality would be maintained. Existing coal leases on 26,663 acres would be continued. Approximately 83,334 acres of federal coal estate in the Paonia/Somerset and Bookcliffs coal areas would be identified as acceptable for further coal leasing consideration. Approximately 920 acres would be acceptable for further coal leasing consideration with stipulations. Leasing of federal oil, gas, and geothermal estate would be allowed on 511,074 acres, with standard lease terms. There would be a yearlong no surface occupancy stipulation on 80 acres, and seasonal stipulations on 174,542 acres. Seasonal stipulations would also apply to seismic activities. Approximately 21,038 acres would be closed to leasing. It would be recommended that existing withdrawals that currently close 59,330 acres to mineral location and entry be retained on 9,440 acres and revoked on 49,890 acres. Revocation of the withdrawals would open the 49,890 acres to mineral entry and location. The Gunnison Gorge area (21,118 acres) would be closed to mineral entry and location. Mineral entry and location would be allowed on the remaining 644,664 acres of federal mining estate. Disposal of mineral materials would be allowed on 451,315 acres of public land with federal mineral estate. Water quality and erosion conditions would be inventoried and monitored. Approximately 33,090 acres would be intensively managed to reduce salinity loads in the Colorado River. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Soil conditions would be anticipated to improve slightly throughout the management area. Intensive management of salinity areas, riparian zones, aquatic habitats, and grazing allotments would benefit the hydrologic condition of water courses. Direct and indirect intensive management would result in improved vegetation conditions on 6,500 acres of riparian zones. Present big game populations would be maintained. Recreation opportunities would be significantly enhanced and increased. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mineral activities, forest and woodland product harvests, livestock grazing, and ORV use would result in increased sediment and salt yields in portions of the planning area. Increased levels of air pollution are anticipated due to regional growth and development. Restrictive management on portions of the coal planning areas would be likely to increase operating costs and result in scheduling inconvenience for coal companies. Seasonal stipulations on oil and gas activities could increase exploration and development costs to the point of decreasing oil and gas production potential. There would be a loss of 10,000 acres of potential habitat for the Uinta Basin hookless cactus and Delta lomatium due to ORV use.

T1  - PROPOSED MONUMENT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN AND WILDERNESS STUDY, IDAHO.
AN  - 36406455; 1430
AB  - PURPOSE: In 1984, a comprehensive resource management plan was proposed for public land north of the Snake River in south central Idaho over the following 15 to 20 years. The Monument Planning Area encompasses 2,059,441 acres, including all of Jerome and Minidoka counties and portions of Gooding, Lincoln, Blaine, Butte, and Power counties. The area is bounded by the town of Bliss on the west, American Falls on the east, the Snake River on the south, and Craters of the Moon National Monument on the north. The planning area is divided between two resource areas. The Bennett Hills Resource Area contains 179,926 acres of public land west of the Gooding-Milner Canal, and the Monument Resource Area comprises 999,063 acres. The purpose of the proposed action is to manage and preserve the wilderness characteristics on 87,902 acres in two wilderness study areas (WSAs) and 1,751 acres in a parcel adjacent to one of the WSAs. Another purpose is to manage 66,113 acres in four WSAs for nonwilderness uses. All 9,700 acres of the Bear Den Butte WSA would be recommended nonsuitable for wilderness designation; all 33,531 acres of the Little Deer WSA would be recommended nonsuitable for wilderness designation; all 67,110 acres of the Raven's Eye WSA would be recommended suitable for wilderness designation; all 20,792 acres of the Sand Butte WSA and an additional 1,751 acres adjacent to the WSA would be recommended suitable for wilderness designation; all 15,968 acres of the Shale Butte WSA would be recommended nonsuitable for wilderness designation; and all 6,914 acres of the Shoshone WSA would be recommended nonsuitable for wilderness designation. The significant environmental issues developed during the scoping process that are common to all WSAs are impacts on wilderness values, livestock grazing operations, and fire management. The impact on development of locatable minerals was analyzed for the Shale Butte WSA; the impact on development of locatable and salable minerals was analyzed for the Shoshone WSA; and the impact on recreational off-road vehicles (ORVs) and hunting use was analyzed for the Raven's Eye and Sand Butte WSAs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values of naturalness and primitive recreation would benefit. There would be a 65 animal unit month (AUM) increase in active livestock preference in the Bear Den Butte WSA and a 33 AUM increase in the Little Deer WSA, with an improvement of one condition class annually on approximately 107 acres. In the Bear Den Butte WSA, existing range developments would be maintained, and 0.6 mile of fence would be constructed. Brush control on 1,340 acres would improve the ecological condition from poor to fair. All wilderness values in the Raven's Eye WSA would be maintained on approximately 65 percent of the WSA and would receive long-term congressional protection. The 1,000 acres on which prescribed burning restrictions would be imposed could improve one condition class. In the Sand Butte WSA, all wilderness values would receive long-term congressional protection and would be maintained or enhanced on 22,543 acres. Potential mineral resources in the Shale Butte WSA would be available for development. Potential mineral resources in the Shoshone WSA, including 2,000 tons of common variety slab lava, would be available for development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Natural values and opportunities for solitude and primitive recreation would be reduced slightly in portions of the Bear Den Butte WSA. The loss of natural values would occur on 460 acres of the Little Deer WSA as a result of brush control and crested wheatgrass seeding. Wilderness values on approximately 35 percent of the Raven's Eye WSA would be seasonally impacted by grazing-related vehicle use; recreational ORV use of 500 visitor days would be foregone annually. There would be a 482 AUM decrease in active livestock grazing preference. Permittee labor costs for range development inspection and maintenance would increase by 25 percent. Recreational ORV use of less than 500 visitor days would be foregone annually on the Sand Butte WSA. There would be a 422 AUM decrease in active livestock grazing preference. In the Shale Butte WSA, surface-disturbing fire suppression activities, grazing-related vehicle use, and ORV use would slightly reduce all wilderness values. There would be a 40 AUM decrease in sheep grazing operations. In the Shoshone WSA, all wilderness values would be lost on 50 acres of the lava rock community pit and degraded on an additional 400 acres in the surrounding viewshed. There would be a 3 AUM decrease in cattle grazing operations.

T1  - NORTH DAKOTA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, DUNN AND BOWMAN COUNTIES, NORTH DAKOTA.
AN  - 36402232; 1421
AB  - PURPOSE: Future management options for approximately 67,520 acres of public land and 4.8 million acres of federal mineral estate, primarily in Dunn and Bowman counties, North Dakota, are proposed. Under the preferred alternative, a total of 573,868 acres is acceptable for further consideration for the leasing or exchange of coal. Of these, 198,923 acres have special stipulations. New oil and gas leases on up to 206,811 acres would have special stipulations. Leases on the remaining 253,583 acres would have standard stipulations only. A total of 22,739 acres of public land would be identified for disposal or exchange. An additional 11,715 acres are identified for exchange only. Exchanges would be made to acquire lands within the Big Gumbo and Lost Bridge consolidation areas and lands adjacent to isolated retention tracts. Off-road vehicle (ORV) use on 22,164 acres in the Big Gumbo area would be limited to maintained roads from March 1 to June 1 and open the remainder of the year. All other public lands would be designated open to ORV use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Some long-term ORV recreational opportunities would be maintained. Land adjustment would improve the manageability of public lands, thereby increasing the long-term quality of water resources, wildlife habitat, recreation, and range production. Special oil and gas leasing stipulations would protect key wildlife species and habitats. Unhindered oil and gas development on up to 253,583 acres would continue to provide long-term local employment and severance tax income to the state. Special coal leasing stipulations would ensure restoration of up to 149,470 acres of important wildlife habitats and protect up to 12,318 acres of buried-valley aquifers. Construction of mines and facilities would cause long-term increases in local populations and income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining and facility construction and oil and gas development would cause significant long-term decreases in air quality and could cause short- and long-term losses in the quality and quantity of groundwater. Short-term soil erosion, compaction, instability, and loss of productivity would occur on up to 573,868 acres. A long-term loss of vegetative diversity would occur on areas of native prairie. The mining of up to 16,771 acres of wooded draws would cause long-term losses in wildlife populations. Agricultural production would have a short-term loss on up to 381,000 acres. Some cultural resource sites could be adversely affected. Special stipulations on oil and gas leasing would cause long-term increases in oil and gas development costs on up to 206,811 acres. Hunting and other recreational opportunities would experience a long-term loss of quality on up to 460,394 acres. Visual quality of the landscape would decrease similarly. Disposal of lands would complicate administration of oil and gas leases. The possible disposal of up to 22,739 acres would create a long-term loss of these lands to the public land base. Adjustment would adversely affect up to 183 cultural resources. ORV use would perpetuate long-term soil erosion and compaction problems. Losses of vegetation, wildlife habitat, cultural resources, and disturbance of wildlife would have long-term but minor impacts on 45,407 acres. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED SWINOMISH MARINA, LA CONNER, SKAGIT COUNTY, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 36401102; 1453
AB  - PURPOSE: Development of an 800-slip marina and associated facilities by the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, located on a 132-acre site 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 2,290 linear feet of rubblemound breakwater, 1,600 linear feet of channel revetment, 3,100 linear feet of riprap along the slopes of the marina basin, 114,640 square feet of floating docks for 450 slips with capacity for an additional 350 slips at a later date, a fuel dock, a four-lane boat lanuch, and a boat repair basin. A float plane facility is also being considered at this time. Onshore marina-related development includes a harbormaster office and space for Coast Guard offices, chandlery, retail shops, restaurants, motels, condominiums, and associated parking. The proposed plan also includes the dredging of approximately 942,400 cubic yards of intertidal and subtidal land to create the marina and boat repair basins. Disposal of the dredge material is planned for fill areas at various locations on the site. Approximately 30.8 acres of intertidal and subtidal land would be filled. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed pleasure craft 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. It is anticipated that construction of the proposed project would generate a minimum of 100 construction jobs. Full development is anticipated to create up to 230 permanent jobs for members of the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community. These potential job opportunities would serve to provide the economic stimulus that the tribal community desires. 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. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging and filling would alter on-site elevations. The proposed action would result in the potential for accidental spills of oil or sewage into open water. The project would eliminate 7.1 acres of dune vegetation and 26.4 acres of upland meadows on the site. Dredge and fill operations would result in the combined net loss of 10.8 acres of wetland (saltmarsh) and 46.8 acres of intertidal mudflat at the project site. Approximately 2.7 acres of benthic habitat in the lagoon would be eliminated due to fill operations. 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. Increases in noise and human activity in the site vicinity might affect harbor seals, river otters, birds, and wildlife. A float plane facility would create potential conflicts with boat traffic in the Swinomish Channel. An additional 40.9 acres of impervious surfaces at the project site would increase stormwater run-off.

T1  - EAGLE LAKE-CEDARVILLE WILDERNESS STUDY AREAS, LASSEN COUNTY, CALIFORNIA AND WASHOE AND HUMBOLDT COUNTIES, NEVADA.
AN  - 36399644; 1426
AB  - PURPOSE: Wilderness designation is proposed for 13 wilderness study areas (WSAs) totaling 697,058 acres in the Eagle Lake and Cedarville resource areas, California and Nevada. The preferred alternative would recommend portions of the WSAs for wilderness designation based on resource potential, boundary considerations, manageability, and wilderness qualities. The following wilderness designations would be considered: 7,660 acres of the 20,650-acre Tunnison Mountain WSA; 37,240 acres of the 63,790-acre Skedaddle Mountain WSA; 52,530 acres of the 95,025-acre Dry Valley Rim WSA; 54,970 acres of the 91,405-acre Twin Peaks WSA; 17,320 acres of the 52,143-acre Little High Rock Canyon WSA; 12,180 acres of the 33,985-acre High Rock Canyon WSA; 33,460 acres of the 55,320-acre East Fork High Rock Canyon WSA; 780 acres of the 24,130-acre Sheldon Contiguous WSA; and 23,260 acres of the 110,000-acre Massacre Rim WSA. In addition, 48,730 acres of Massacre Rim WSA would be designated an area of critical environmental concern. No acreage would receive wilderness designation in the 48,460-acre Five Springs WSA, the 47,315-acre Buffalo Hills WSA, the 45,790-acre Wall Canyon WSA, and the 13,050-acre Yellow Rock Canyon WSA. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values would be protected on 239,690 acres in the resource area. Reintroduced bighorn sheep would benefit due to reduced visitor levels. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Unsuitable designation of 459,508 acres would lead to a slow decline of wilderness values. Future development on, and access to, 10 private inholdings would impair solitude in designated wilderness areas. Approximately 18,000 acres of wilderness would be foregone because of range seedings and herbicide applications. No new mineral claims or leases would be permitted in the designated wilderness areas. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 85-0153D, Volume 9, Number 4.

T1  - HICKEY MOUNTAIN - TABLE MOUNTAIN OIL AND GAS FIELD DEVELOPMENT, UINTA AND SUMMIT COUNTIES, WYOMING.
AN  - 36395455; 1424
AB  - PURPOSE: The development, production, treatment, and transportation of natural sweet gas and oil from a new deep oil and gas field by Sun Exploration and Production Company, American Quasar Petroleum Company, Texaco Inc., Diamond Shamrock Exploration Company, Conoco Inc., General Atlantic Energy, Anadarko Petroleum Company, and Mountain Fuel Resources Company in the Hickey Mountain-Table Mountain area, located in Uinta County in southwestern Wyoming, is proposed. The study area comprises 45,510 acres and now contains 16 existing exploratory wells. Several changes have been made since the draft EIS was issued. PPC has proposed to upgrade its existing hydrocarbon processing plant facilities adjacent to the study area, the Bridger Lake Field in Utah, to provide processing for gases produced in the original analysis area. Also in Utah, SEPC has proposed three new wells in the Flash Unit, adjacent to the original analysis area. Within the study area, three additional wells have been drilled. This drilling has led to changes in the proposed action, including an increase in well density (greater than one well/square mile) in promising locations within the Luckey Ditch Unit and decreased emphasis in drilling within and adjacent to the Taylor Ranch Unit. SEPC has withdrawn its proposal for constructing a processing plant on federal lands; built a miniproduction plant on state of Wyoming lands; proposed a second miniproduction plant for south of Henrys Fork River and a third production plant to the west; and begun construction of a river crossing and loop road on private and state lands. The proposed action for development of the field of sweet gas consists of well locations; access roads; hydrocarbon production, processing, and storage (including wastewater disposal); product transportation; and power sources. Between the nine companies, 56 new oil and gas wells, 14 repressurization wells, 1 wastewater injection well, 62.2 miles of road, 58.6 miles of pipeline, 19 miles of electric powerline, and 1 electric power substation are proposed. In addition, hydrocarbon production and processing facilities would be required, including miniplants at well sites (5 to 10 acres each) or other larger plant sites. With maximum proposed development, there would be approximately one well in every square mile, except within and adjacent to Luckey Ditch Unit, where two wells per square mile are proposed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would exercise the leaseholder's rights to drill for, extract, remove, and dispose of all the oil and gas (except helium) in the lands described. The developmental phase of the project would last approximately 5 to 10 years, which would utilize goods, services, and labor already available in the counties. Employment of 200 persons in 1987 and the next few years would be expected, with long-term employment of 15 persons. The local tax base would increase from minerals royalty taxes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Virtually all available hydrocarbons would be removed. Wildlife impacts for full field development under all alternatives would be greatest to elk that use the study area for calving and wintering. Other impacts on wildlife during development activities would involve moose and mule deer winter and crucial winter ranges. Field development would disturb big game animals already impacted by recreational and oil and gas traffic on roads within the study area and by hunting and timber harvest activities. Landslide hazards exist within much of the area. Many miles of road and pipelines and plant sites and well pads would affect sensitive soils. Additional field development would increase the operational risks of sedimentation and petroleum introduction to waters in the area. Field development, including roads, wells, and processing plants, would also create a human-influenced setting, replacing the moderately natural visual surroundings that presently exist. Authorization of field development roads would force the closure of existing primitive roads and the gating of new roads to preclude recreational traffic. LEGAL MANDATES: Clean Air Act of 1977, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7411 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.).

AB  - PURPOSE: The environmental consequences of constructing and operating a prototype rubber extraction facility, capable of extracting 150 long tons of quality guayule rubber per year are assessed. The project would be performed by Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, managed by the Department of Agriculture, and funded by the Department of Defense. The facility would be located on the Gila River Indian Reservation south of Phoenix, Arizona, in Maricopa and Pinal counties. The Gila River Indian community would supply the guayule shrub for the facility. The preferred alternative calls for the use of the Simultaneous Extraction Rubber Fractionation (SERF) process, under development by Firestone for the production of high quality rubber at Santan Industrial Park. A second alternative evaluates the use of a water floatation process for extraction of rubber and the use of the Pima-Chandler Industrial Park as the location of the facility; a no action alternative was also evaluated. The preferred alternative would locate the prototype processing plant at the Santan Industrial Park complex. Processing of the rubber would begin with the storage of the harvested shrub and extend to the end product of processed bulk rubber. The tiered approach was selected so that the three year lead time required for the establishment of a sufficient crop of guayule for processing could be met. The cultivation of guayule was addressed in a previous final environmental impact statement prepared in May 1985. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The successful demonstration of the guayule agricultural and processing project could result in the development of a significant new industry for the desert Southwest. The Gila River Indian community would be the first group to realize the potential of this long-term growth, and its economy could be altered if the project is successful. The economy of desert regions of Texas, California, and New Mexico also could be altered. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Water quality could be degraded from the improper application of fertilizers, herbicides, and insecticides, coupled with excessive amounts of irrigation water. Worker health and safety also could be endangered by improper handling of chemicals. LEGAL MANDATES: Native Latex Commercialization and Economic Development Act of 1978 (P.L. 95-592). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft environmental impact statements (EISs) and a previous final EIS, see 85-0062D, Volume 9, Number 2, and 85-0253F, Volume 9, Number 6, respectively.

T1  - WESTERN COUNTIES WILDERNESS STUDY: SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA METROPOLITAN PROJECT AREA, INDIO RESOURCE AREA, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36406400; 1429
AB  - PURPOSE: Five wilderness study areas (WSAs) encompassing 30,881 acres within the Escondido-Border Planning Unit of western Riverside and San Diego counties, California, are considered for inclusion within the National Wilderness System. Areas under consideration include the 360-acre Agua Tibia WSA, the 11,342-acre Beauty Mountain WSA, the 5,489-acre Hauser Mountain WSA, the 5,750-acre Western Otay Mountain WSA, and the 7,940-acre Southern Otay Mountain WSA. Under the preferred alternative, all 360 acres of the Agua Tibia WSA would be designated as wilderness. None of the 11,342 acres of the Beauty Mountain WSA or the 5,489 acres of the Hauser Mountain WSA would be designated wilderness; they would be managed for multiple use. The proposed action for the western Otay Mountain WSA is partial wilderness; 4,110 acres would be designated wilderness and 1,640 acres would be managed for multiple use. The proposed action for the Southern Otay Mountain WSA is partial wilderness, with 6,980 acres designated as wilderness and 960 acres designated for multiple use management. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values within the Agua Tibia WSA and other areas designated as wilderness would be preserved. Nonwilderness designation of the remaining areas would allow broader and more intensive use of resources and fire suppression techniques. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness qualities in areas designated for nonwilderness could be impaired due to more intensive management regimes. Development of new mineral claims or leases would be permitted in the nonwilderness areas and would degrade wilderness values. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - MEDICINE BOW-DIVIDE RESOURCE AREAS RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, RAWLINS DISTRICT, WYOMING.
AN  - 36406706; 1396
AB  - PURPOSE: Options for the future management of federal land and federal mineral estate in the Medicine Bow and Divide resource areas, located in the Rawlins District of south central and southeastern Wyoming are described. The area covered comprises 4 million acres of land in which the surface and minerals are federally owned, and 1 million additional acres in which only the minerals are federally owned ("split estate"). Under the preferred alternative, intensive resource management would be balanced with the use of restrictions to achieve optimal resource management. The Como Bluff area (1,760 acres), two raptor concentration areas (27,500 acres), and the Sand Hills area (8,300 acres) would be designated areas of critical environmental concern (ACEC). A total of 960 acres within proposed and existing national natural landmarks (NNLs) would be considered for disposal to individuals, organizations, agencies, or institutions that would manage these areas in accordance with their NNL status. The areas are scattered public land tracts with no legal access. A total of 66,000 acres of land would be considered for disposal. The allowable forest harvest level would be 20 million board feet (MMBF) per decade. All public lands would be open to utility/transportation systems, but such systems would be located next to existing facilities whenever possible. It is projected that authorized livestock grazing under this alternative would be 186,940 animal unit months (AUMs) in the long term. A total of 64,595 acres of public land containing 519.1 million tons of coal would be acceptable for further consideration for leasing. The planning area would be open to leasing, exploration, and development of oil and gas, with application of standard protection requirements to protect other resource values. The planning area would be open to locatable minerals entry except for 83,063 acres of withdrawals. Off-road vehicle (ORV) use would be limited to existing roads and trails in the Sand Hills area. There would be 16 wildlife habitat management areas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative includes management actions of the cultural resources program to stabilize and project significant sites and segments along the Overland Trail, the Cherokee Trail, and the Rawlins-Fort Washakie Trail to ensure the preservation and interpretation of the resources for present and future generations. The ORV designations would provide the maximum benefit to ORV users without unnecessarily restricting users or damaging other resources. Visual resource management would benefit recreation resources by maintaining the quality of the settings of recreation opportunities. Quick suppression of fires in full suppression areas would minimize the amount of soil exposed to erosion. Localization of ORV use might benefit important riparian/wetland habitat values. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Installation of utility systems and other facilities would cause short-term effects on soils, water, and air. Long-term effects would be associated with access routes to utility and transportation facilities. Approximately 4,000 acres would be disturbed due to coal leasing, with additional effects on 2,500 acres due to in situ coal development. Management actions related to development of the Hanna Basin coal area would have an adverse impact on visual resources. LEGAL MANDATES: Classification and Multiple Use Act of 1964 (P.L. 88-6071), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Public Rangelands Improvement Act of 1978 (P.L. 95-514), and Taylor Grazing Act of 1934, as amended (43 U.S.C. 315).

T1  - POTENTIAL EXPLORATION, DEVELOPMENT, AND PRODUCTION OF OIL AND GAS RESOURCES, VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36395325; 1373
AB  - PURPOSE: Adoption of a Mineral Resource Management Plan (MRMP) on Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB), California is proposed. The purpose of the proposed action is to allow gas and oil exploration, development, and production to occur on VAFB with the least amount of impact on Air Force missions and the local and regional environment. None of VAFB would be excluded from consideration for development; however, various conditions and restrictions that would be applied to development proposals in some areas could make development infeasible from an economic standpoint. Natural or human resource features that could constrain development have been placed into constraint categories of high, moderate, or low, depending on the degree to which the resources are protected by regulatory agency guidelines or their environmental sensitivity. High environmental constraints include 100-year floodplains, surface waters, habitat for three federally listed species, wetlands, coastal dunes, Bishop pine and tanbark oak forests, known archaeological or historic sites, prime agricultural lands, and certain land use areas. In addition, there are high environmental constraints that are unmapped. These include the San Antonio and Santa Ynez groundwater basins, potential violations of air quality standards and increments, availability of emissions offsets, and four federally listed species. Mapped mission hazards are defined as being very high, high, or moderate. Very high mission hazards are explosive clear zones, certain radio-frequency radiation hazard areas, and toxic hazard corridors. Moderate mission hazards include some explosive clear zones, certain toxic hazard corridors, missile flight corridors, areas contaminated with explosives, and line-of-sight restrictions. Because some constraints do not lend themselves to mapping, they must be considered separately. Air Force mission requirements and restrictions, potential environmental impacts, the economically recoverable oil and gas resources on VAFB, and the constraint maps combined will determine how a particular development should occur. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Oil and gas development on VAFB would benefit the local economy through the creation of jobs and income. Approximately 125 direct jobs could be created under a feasible development scenario. The proposed action would reduce or eliminate potentially significant impacts from oil and gas development for air quality; cultural, biological, and water resources; land use; and system safety. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The development of oil and gas on VAFB could adversely affect the base's mission. The geologic environment of VAFB would be affected by petroleum operations through the construction of access roads, pipeline corridors, well pads, and facilities. Using projections of likely oil or gas demands, a one-time use of 450 acre-feet for well drilling and a cyclic steam demand of 100 acre-feet per year for 100 wells would cause further drawdown of an already overdrawn aquifer. This drawdown could impact the water supplies of VAFB and other basin users, as well as aquatic and biologically dependent species of Barka Slough and San Antonio Creek. Significant impacts on water quality could occur from an oil or gas spill or accident, and air quality impacts could result from the proposed action. Several very sensitive biological resources could be effected by oil and gas extraction even with implementation of the guidelines specified in the MRMP. Since none of VAFB would be excluded from oil and gas development, significant impacts could occur to all cultural resources.

T1  - WEST HILINE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN NORTHCENTRAL MONTANA.
AN  - 36387730; 1390
AB  - PURPOSE: Future management options for approximately 626,098 surface acres and 1,328,014 subsurface acres in northcentral Montana are proposed. The majority of these lands are managed through the Havre, Great Falls, Judith, and Phillips Resource Areas. The plan focuses on management options to resolve these five issues: landownership adjustments; off-road vehicle (ORV) designations; location of major lineal rights-of-way; identification and management of emphasis areas; and recreational management on the Upper Missouri National Wild and Scenic River (UMNWSR). The preferred alternative, Alternative D, identifies 15,664 acres of land for disposal and 34,428 acres for exchange; limits ORV use on 427,951 acres and closes 5 acres to ORV use; identifies approximately 141,560 acres as avoidance areas and 63,537 acres as exclusion areas for major lineal rights-of-way; provides for future recreation developments within the UMNWSR while mitigating impacts to natural and cultural resources; and designates the Kevin Rim, East and West Buttes of the Sweet Grass Hills, and the Cow Creek areas as areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs). ORV use would be limited on a yearlong basis in the UMNWSR, wilderness study areas (WSAs), ACECs, and riparian areas, and on a seasonal basis in areas with sedimentary breaks soils and in crucial wildlife areas. Avoidance areas would include scenic and recreational portions of the UMNWSR Corridor, WSAs, ACECs, riparian areas, and areas of sedimentary breaks soils. Rights-of-way would be excluded in wild portions of the UMNWSR, except through specified windows. Developed sites would be restricted to recreational segments. Major concession developments on public lands would be allowed in recreational segments. This alternative was selected because it presents a reasonable balance between commodity production and protection of amenity resources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Management options for grazing could be enhanced by consolidating public lands through exchange. Consolidation of public lands could significantly improve recreation opportunities with improved access and protection or enhancement of recreational values. Recreational opportunities and visitor services would be provided, with an emphasis on mitigating impacts to natural and cultural resources. Areas would be developed for self-guided interpretive study. Undeveloped recreation sites would be maintained and could be upgraded to simideveloped sites. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: If acquired lands are located in areas identified for more stringent surface constraints, there would be a moderate negative impact to the minerals industry. The potential loss of oil and gas reserves within the UMNWSR Corridor would continue, as the area would remain closed to leasing. Potentially 7,381 acres of crucial wildlife habitat could be affected by land tenure adjustment. Soil erosion and sedimentation of water sources could be locally significant as a result of ORV use. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.).

T1  - REMEDIAL ACTIONS AT THE FORMER UNION CARBIDE CORPORATION URANIUM MILL SITES, RIFLE, GARFIELD COUNTY, COLORADO.
AN  - 36395404; 1406
AB  - PURPOSE: Cleanup of the contaminated materials at the mill sites and associated vicinity properties at Rifle in Garfield County, Colorado is proposed. The Rifle tailings sites consist of the separate Old and New Rifle tailings sites. Together, the Old and New Rifle sites cover 164 acres of private land and contain approximately 3.5 million cubic yards of tailings and associated contaminated soils. The tailings were produced by the Union Carbide Corporation when it processed vanadium and uranium ores from 1924 to 1932 and from 1942 to 1973. The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission purchased uranium from the sites from 1949 to 1971; additional uranium and all of the vanadium were sold to commercial buyers. Four alternatives were considered: Alternative 1 is the No Action Alternative; Alternative 2 would be stabilization at the New Rifle site; Alternative 3 would be disposal at the Estes Gulch site; and Alternative 4 would be disposal at the Lucas Mesa site. The preferred alternative would involve relocating the Old and New Rifle tailings and contaminated materials approximately six miles north of Rifle at the Estes Gulch site. An access road would be constructed from State Highway 13 to the Estes Gulch site, and a disposal area averaging 15 feet in depth would be excavated at the site. All of the tailings and contaminated materials would be covered with an earthen radon barrier and a rock erosion protection barrier with an underlying filter layer. Large, below-grade rock aprons would be constructed along the south and west bases of the stabilized tailings pile, and the head of an ephemeral surface drainage just west of the pile would be armored with rock. Rock-lined drainage diversion ditches would be constructed on the north, east, and west sides of the pile to divert surface-water runoff around and away from the pile. After the removal of the tailings and contaminated materials, the Old and New Rifle sites would be restored with clean fill material to promote positive drainage. The specific haulage routes for transporting the materials would be determined during the preparation of the final engineering designs. The project would include remedial actions at an estimated 102 vicinity properties, which are residences, businesses, or open lands that may have been contaminated by the use of tailings as a sand substitute in building materials or as backfill. POSITIVE IMPACTS: If the tailings are properly stabilized, erosion or human removal of the contaminated materials cannot spread the contamination over a much wider area and increase potential public health hazards. Approximately 164 acres of land would be released for other uses. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The primary impacts of the preferred alternative would be the temporary exceeding of federal and state air quality standards; disturbance of residents near and between the Rifle, Estes Gulch, and borrow sites during the daytime from noise generated by construction and transportation activities; and increased traffic on U.S. Highway 6 and State Highway 13, with associated increases in accidents, congestion, and highway maintenance. LEGAL MANDATES: Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978 (42 U.S.C. 7901).

T1  - MINNESOTA TRUNK HIGHWAY 33 FROM JUNCTION OF INTERSTATE 35 TO JUNCTION OF U.S. TRUNK HIGHWAY 53, CARLTON AND SAINT LOUIS COUNTIES, MINNESOTA. (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO tHE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 1985).
AN  - 36395253; 1348
AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement of 19.7 miles of Trunk Highway (TH) 33 from the junction with Interstate Highway 35 (I-35) to the 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. This supplement complies with the statement of the FEIS that a supplement would be prepared for the urban section. Including the No-Build alternative, four major alternatives were considered: West Cloquet Bypass: a bypass west of Cloquet; East Cloquet Bypass: a bypass east of Cloquet; and a Through Town Corridor: a route along existing TH 33. A typical cross-section of the urban design would consist of two 12-foot lanes, two 14-foot lanes, a 12-foot continuous left-turn lane, and sidewalks. Construction of the preferred alternative would result in a four-lane expressway. Interchanges with TH 53, TH 2, and I-35 are proposed. A one-mile section of TH 2 would be reconstructed 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. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide four-lane continuity between the Twin Cities metropolitan area and the Iron Range cities, and it 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 also would 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 up to 23 residences and two small businesses. Approximately 25 to 54 acres of wetlands would be impacted. A portion of the abandoned Scanlon landfill would be relocated by the East Cloquet Bypass, and the Fond Du Lac Indian Reservation would be impacted by the West Cloquet Bypass. One historic site on the Through Town or East Cloquet Bypass alternative would be adversely affected and two parks, one significant and one undeveloped, would be adversely affected by the West Cloquet Bypass.

T1  - DEVERS-PALO VERDE #2 500 KV TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA AND YUMA AND MARICOPA COUNTIES, ARIZONA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MARCH 1979).
AN  - 36386848; 1330
AB  - PURPOSE: Southern California Edison Company, together with several other western utility companies, proposes to construct a 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission line from the Devers Substation near Palm Springs, California to the vicinity of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station approximately 40 miles west of Phoenix, Arizona. The proposed Devers-Palo Verde #2 route would parallel the existing Devers-Palo Verde #1 500-kV transmission line. A comprehensive environmental impact statement (EIS) was prepared for the Devers-Palo Verde #1 project, covering essentially the same study area as the proposed project. Because the original study was done approximately nine years ago, this supplemental EIS provides an updated analysis. The transmission line would consist of overhead wires (conductors) to form three electrical phases. These conductors would be supported by lattice steel structures and would be electrically isolated from the structures by insulators. The proposed transmission line is designed to operate at a nominal voltage of 525 kV phase to phase and a maximum voltage of 550 kV phase to phase. The line would be capable of transferring nominally 1,200 megawatts (MW) of power on a continuous basis and 2,000 MW under emergency conditions. The total project includes 238 miles of new transmission line, of which 112 miles are located in Arizona and 126 miles are located in California. The line would terminate at two existing facilities, the Devers Substation in California and the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in Arizona. In addition, the line would connect to two series compensation banks, which would be located along the transmission line route. One facility would be located in Arizona, 61 miles west of the Palo Verde Switchyard, and the second would be in California, approximately 64 miles east of the Devers Substation. The facilities would be located adjacent to the approved locations for the Devers-Palo Verde #1 series compensation banks and would be under the proposed Devers-Palo Verde #2 line and generally within the rights-of-way. A 221- by 320-foot area would be required for these facilities. The proposed #2 transmission line would also require modification or reinforcement of Edison's existing 220-kV transmission system west of the Devers Substation. The reinforcement required for the 220-kV system includes reconductoring some of the existing circuits and rearranging the circuits. As planned, seven towers of the approximately 370 existing structures might be replaced in close proximity to the existing towers, two towers may be removed, and three towers may be added. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Building of the transmission line and ancillary facilities would improve electrical power services to area residents. There would be an increase in local sales, property, and income tax revenues as a result of construction and operation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The transmission line route traverses several areas of sensitive and highly erosive soils, as well as prime farmlands. Wildlife habitat would be disturbed along the length of the route, and vegetation would be damaged. Safety hazards to agricultural activities, particularly agricultural aircraft, would be increased. Towers, lines, roads, and communication sites would intrude visually on the surrounding landscape, possibly disturbing several wilderness study areas, and would affect recreational quality in certain areas. Construction activities would increase dust pollution, soil erosion, and siltation in water courses and could damage cultural resources along the corridor. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements, see 78-1166D, Volume 2, Number 11, and 79-0549F, Volume 3, Number 6, respectively.

T1  - PROPOSED WILDERNESS PROGRAM FOR THE SAFFORD DISTRICT WILDERNESS EIS AREA, COCHISE, GILA, GRAHAM, AND GREENLEE COUNTIES, ARIZONA AND HIDALGO COUNTY, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36403647; 1337
AB  - PURPOSE: Land management designations are proposed for nine wilderness study areas (WSAs), containing 131,820 acres of public land, within the Gila and San Simon resource areas of Cochise, Gila, Graham, and Greenlee counties, Arizona and Hidalgo County, New Mexico. The WSAs under consideration include the 9,485-acre Needle's Eye WSA, 8,492-acre Black Rock WSA, 15,013-acre Fishhooks WSA, 16,629-acre Day Mine WSA, 17,831-acre Gila Box WSA, 17,422-acre Turtle Mountain WSA, 17,870-acre Javelina Peak WSA, 12,317-acre Peloncillo Mountains WSA, and 16,761-acre Dos Cabezas Mountains WSA. All acreage figures pertain only to federal lands; the area also contains 663 acres of private lands, 882 acres of state lands, and 3,531 acres of nonfederal mineral rights. The preferred plan would involve inclusion of the following areas in the National Wilderness Preservation System: 9,201 acres of the Needle's Eye WSA, 6,590 acres of the Black Rock WSA, 10,883 acres of the Fishhooks WSA, and 11,998 acres of Dos Cabezas Mountains WSA. All remaining federal lands within the WSAs would be managed as nonwilderness areas. Approximately 663 acres of private land, 680 acres of state land, and 2,864 acres of nonfederal mineral rights would be transferred to federal ownership for incorporation into the WSAs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation of large portions of the WSAs would preserve wilderness values and special features in the Needle's Eye, Black Rock, Fishhooks, and Dos Cabezas Mountains WSAs. Acquisition of state and private inholdings would ease management of the areas to be designated as wilderness. Plant species designated as endangered would receive a high level of protection in the areas to be included in the National Wilderness System. Significant visual and cultural resources would fall under wilderness protection stipulations, with 41 prehistoric sites and 1 historic site falling under the proposed action. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Prohibition of exploitative land uses within the designated areas would preclude profitable mineral resources developments that could otherwise be undertaken; approximately 5,440 acres of potential oil and gas leases would be foregone. Livestock grazing on 11 allotments would be adversely affected by wilderness management of designated areas. Endangered species located in Javelina Peak could be affected due to land uses allowed under nonwilderness management. Off-road vehicle use would be restricted on 34,881 acres of land, hampering access for those who cannot enter the affected areas on foot. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 83-0345D, Volume 7, Number 7.

T1  - LOWER GILA SOUTH RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, LA PAZ, MARICOPA, PIMA, PINAL, AND YUMA COUNTIES, ARIZONA (PROPOSED WILDERNESS PROGRAM).
AN  - 36400463; 1335
AB  - PURPOSE: A program of wilderness management for 12 wilderness study areas (WSAs), totaling 621,931 acres, in the Lower Gila South planning area located in Pinal, Pima, Maricopa, Yuma, and La Paz counties, Arizona, is proposed. This environmental impact statement (EIS) is one of two final EISs derived from the Lower Gila South Resource Management Plan draft EIS of January 1985. The proposed action recommends as suitable for wilderness designated portions of five WSAs: New Water Mountains, Eagletail Mountains, Signal Mountain, Woolsey Peak, and Table Top Mountains, totaling 210,350 acres. All other WSA lands, totaling 411,581 acres, would be recommended as not suitable for wilderness designation. Designation as wilderness would preclude most mining and oil and gas exploration, all off-road vehicle (ORV) use, road building, utility corridor construction and expansion, and other development. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation would ensure the continued preservation of wilderness values and would close all designated areas to motorized vehicles. The plan would generally benefit bighorn sheep and desert tortoise by prohibiting development that would disturb the species' habitats. Cultural resources in the WSAs would benefit by the prevention of new development, which improves access to sites and increases visitation, often resulting in artifact collection and other vandalism. Protected plant habitat would benefit from wilderness designation, which would prohibit uses that would disturb such habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: In a few areas, designation might lead to visitor overuse, which could impair solitude and supplemental wilderness values. Wilderness designation would cause adverse impacts to mineral and energy exploration and subsequent development. Designation of certain WSAs could significantly impact development of utility systems.

T1  - EAST OF CIMARRON (PROJECT TQFC 050-2(4)), MONTROSE AND GUNNISON COUNTIES, COLORADO.
AN  - 36398427; 1308
AB  - PURPOSE: Reconstruction and improvement of a 12-mile segment of U.S. 50 from just east of Cimarron to Windy Point in Montrose and Gunnison counties, Colorado are proposed. The project improvement involves upgrading the existing alignment along its current location, with minor shifts in location on the curvature, or provide better alignment. The new roadway would consist of two 12-foot driving lanes, 8-foot paved shoulders, and a climbing lane where necessary. Blue Creek Canyon on the east end of the project would require some heavy construction and crossing of and minor encroachments into the Blue Creek floodplain, as well as some sidehill rock cuts. Encroachments into Blue Creek itself would be minimized by the extensive use of retaining walls and cantilevered bridge structures. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improved roadway would replace a deteriorating roadway characterized by narrow lanes, a low allowable driving speed, and poor sight distances. The new roadway would be able to handle the expected future increases in traffic volumes on the route, which would cause severe congestion problems if the current highway is left as is. The project would decrease the cost of maintaining this segment of the highway. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the loss of 118 acres of habitat and irrigated rangeland. Acquisition of rights-of-way would decrease county tax bases. Enlargement of the highway through Blue Canyon would degrade the visual quality of the canyon. Nine of the 13 archaeological sites identified in the corridor as eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places could be damaged. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Federal Aid Highway Act of 1968 (23 U.S.C. 128(a)), and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

T1  - DECKER CANYON, SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA: DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT PLAN.
AN  - 36405708; 1299
AB  - PURPOSE: A development concept plan for the Decker Canyon property in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, Los Angeles and Ventura counties, California is proposed to guide the management and development of the property for the next 10 to 15 years. Four alternatives were evaluated. The following concerns for the Decker Canyon were addressed: (1) management options for preserving the natural and cultural resources of the 151-acre property; (2) preservation of the Mulholland Scenic Parkway Corridor; (3) possible development of a totally accessible, barrier-free environmental education facility; and (4) relocating Decker Road to eliminate the hazardous intersection with Mulholland Highway and to unify the site into a contiguous parcel. The plan also presents goals and objectives for site management of Decker Canyon to include protection, preservation, and interpretation of natural, cultural, and scenic resources for public recreation and enjoyment. The property is currently undeveloped and subject to uncontrolled public access and use. The preferred alternative would develop a gateway activity site for day and overnight use. It would focus on a barrier-free, handicapped-accessible center, including overnight lodging facilities accessible to and usable by all persons, regardless of physical or mental ability. The facilities would be targeted to serve family groups or groups of friends with at least one disabled or elderly member. The facilities would include an interpretive activity center, a small amphitheater, interpretive and general use trails, and picnic tables. Overnight accommodations would be developed for 75 to 80 persons, with accommodations for up to 100 under some circumstances. Rooms would be arranged in three lodges, each lodge having a community kitchen, outdoor gathering space, and storage capability. Other facilities would include a separate dining facility, a multipurpose building, a therapeutic pool, an equestrian facility, a nurse's office and first aid station, a director's residence, a storage/maintenance facility, and parking. Water, power, and telephone services would be available at the site; a separate wastewater treatment facility would be required. Development of day-use facilities, including the estimated $105,000 for relocating Decker Road, would cost approximately $1.1 million. The overnight facilities and equestrian center would cost approximately $2.4 million, bringing the total net cost of this project to approximately $3.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The use of earth-sheltering design and passive solar capabilities would maximize energy conservation and reduce damage by wildfires. Roofs of the earth-sheltered structures would provide some additional area of restored grassland habitat. The on-site presence of National Park Service or concessioner employees would offer an increased degree of protection over current management of cultural resources. Interpretation of archaeological resources to the public would result in greater awareness of the sensitive nature of these resources and would reduce the potential for vandalism. The proposed project would have some minimal beneficial effects on the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would directly affect approximately 5.52 acres within the bowl area along Decker Road to be used for development of buildings, parking areas, wastewater treatment facilities, and trails. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.); Executive Orders 11593, 11988, and 11990; and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

T1  - RECONSTRUCTION OF COLORADO FOREST HIGHWAY ROUTE 26 (COLORADO STATE ROUTE 7), BOULDER AND LARIMER COUNTIES, COLORADO.
AN  - 15227013; 1307
AB  - PURPOSE: Reconstruction of 11.3 miles of Colorado Forest Highway 26 (State Highway (S.H.) 7) from the northern end of the community of Meeker Park to the junction of the highway and U.S. 36 in the town of Estes Park, Colorado is proposed. The project would traverse Boulder and Larimer counties. The existing two-lane facility, which has 11-foot lanes, would be improved and, in urbanized areas of Estes Park, expanded to four lanes. Specifically, the project would involve construction of two 12-foot lanes with 8-foot shoulders from Meeker Park to Wind River Pass (Tahosa Valley), a distance of 4.5 miles; construction of two 12-foot lanes with 6-foot shoulders and one or two 2,500-foot climbing lanes from Wind River Pass to Bottom of the Switchbacks, a distance of 3.3 miles; construction of two 12-foot lanes with 8-foot shoulders from Switchback to Estes Park, a distance of 1.5 miles; construction of two 12-foot lanes with 8-foot shoulders, a continuous 14-foot center lane, and a 6-foot bike path from the Estes Park town limit to Lexington Lane; and construction of four 11-foot lanes with a continuous 14-foot center turn lane and a 6-foot bike path from Lexington Lane to U.S. 36, a distance of 0.9 mile. Parking pulloffs would be provided at scenic view points, and parking areas would be provided at the Twin Sisters, Storm Pass, and Lilly Mount trailheads. Four horse underpasses would be installed at high-use horse trail crossings, if design studies indicated that these were warranted. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reconstruction of the highway would improve an integral part of the state and forest highway systems, ease travel along this scenic route through the Roosevelt National Forest and Rocky Mountain National Park, and complete improvement of S.H. 26. Access between the towns of Lyons and Estes Park would be improved significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of additional rights-of-way for the project would displace 1.3 acres of wetland, encroach laterally on 15 to 30 feet of floodplains of several minor creeks along the corridor, convert 70 acres of mountain forest and other vegetation to road use, and result in the loss of 0.14 acre of Meeker Park Camground. Thirty-one noise sensitive sites would be exposed to traffic-generated noise; noise barriers at 14 of these sites would not significantly reduce ambient noise levels.

T1  - PROPOSED WILDERNESS PROGRAM FOR THE PHOENIX WILDERNESS AREA, MARICOPA, MOHAVE, PIMA, PINAL, AND YAVAPAI COUNTIES, ARIZONA.
AN  - 15224656; 1297
AB  - PURPOSE: Final designation is considered for six wilderness study areas (WSAs) totaling 54,713 acres in the Phoenix Resource Area and the Cerbat-Black Mountain Planning Area of the Kingman Resource Area in Arizona. The preferred alternative would recommend designation of the entire 2,065-acre Baboquivari Peak WSA, the 24,821 acres of the Mount Wilson WSA, and the 5,080 acres of the Coyote Mountains WSA as wilderness. The remaining 22,747 acres, consisting of the Hells Canyon, White Canyon, and Picacho Mountains WSAs would be released from the wilderness review process and returned to other multiple-use management. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation would ensure the continued preservation and enhancement of wilderness and related plant, wildlife, scenic, and recreation resources. Livestock grazing, mineral exploration and development, wildlife habitat manipulation, dispersed recreation use, and other land uses would be permitted on the remaining WSAs withdrawn from wilderness designation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation could lead to visitor overuse, which could degrade solitude and supplemental wilderness values. Wilderness designation also would preclude livestock increases, mineral development, and the building or expanding of utility corridors, communication sites, and access roads. Return of WSAs to multiple-use management would increase the risk of impairing wilderness and associated scenic, wildlife, botanical, and cultural values.

AB  - A review of cement grout flow in fractured rock is presented. State-of-the-art techniques for grouting are discussed including water pressure testing, type of equipment, methods, grout mix design, and monitoring techniques. Analytic models for flow of grout are explored including viscous and visco-plastic fluid models. A field test program is planned to evaluate the suitability of the grout flow model to determine if these models are useful monitoring tools during production grouting operations. Site selection criteria for the field test program are provided along with instrumentation and data acquisition methods, and a cost estimate to accomplish the test program. (Author 's abstract)

T1  - NORTH CHICKAMAUGA CREEK, TENNESSEE PETITION EVALUATION.
AN  - 36403800; 1295
AB  - PURPOSE: A petition has been filed by the guardians of North Chickamauga Creek, Inc. and the Sierra Club to designate certain lands as unsuitable for surface coal mining operations in the North Chickamauga Creek watershed, Tennessee. The 52,227-acre petition area is located in southern Tennessee and encompasses 80 square miles in the North Chickamauga Creek watershed. The area consists of gently rolling hills with meandering stream channels and gorges incised by North Chickamauga Creek and its major tributaries. All of the land within the petition area is privately owned. The primary allegations of the petition are that the petition area must be designated unsuitable for surface coal mining operations because such operations would be incompatible with existing state and local land use plans or programs; would affect fragile and historic lands; could result in significant damage to important historical and cultural values and important aesthetic values and natural systems, including rare and endangered species; and that most of the existing public roads in the watershed are inadequate for use as haul roads. The range of alternative decisions available include (1) designation of the entire petition area as unsuitable for all surface coal mining operations (grant the petition); (2) designation of no part of the petition area as unsuitable for surface coal mining operations (deny the petition); (3) designation of parts of the petition area as unsuitable for all or certain types of surface coal mining operations; and (4) designation of the entire petition area as unsuitable for underground coal mining, but allow surface coal mining. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of Alternate 1 would preclude any surface or underground coal mining within the petition area. If the petition is not granted, extraction of approximately 37 million short tons of coal would be recovered (21 surface minable and 16 underground minable). NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Surface coal mining operations could result in a substantial loss or reduction in the long-range productivity of the water supply. Should mining occur, during construction and operation of the mining scenario, approximately 315 acres of surface disturbance would occur within the five-year permit term. If forestry is the planned postmining land use, long-term reestablishment of the forest would not take place for 15 to 20 years after revegetation had occurred. Mining and hauling operations would degrade the visual resources of the area during the life of the mine. Overall visual impacts from mining would range from negligible in most areas to potentially significant in the scenic gorge areas. Mining-related noise would have a noticeable impact on the solitude of the area immediately adjacent to the mine site and near the haul roads during active operations. Increased traffic on the narrow gravel roads could require expensive upgrading and maintenance. LEGAL MANDATES: Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).

T1  - WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA.
AN  - 36399307; 1303
AB  - PURPOSE: Designation of land management for seven wilderness study areas (WSAs) containing 383,429 acres of land in Clark County in the southernmost portion of Nevada is proposed. The county contains more than 5.0 million acres, of which 3.1 million acres are administered by the Las Vegas District of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). WSAs under consideration include the 32,853-acre Arrow Canyon Range WSA, 96,170-acre Muddy Mountains WSA, 69,650-acre Mount Stirling WSA, 56,967-acre La Madre Mountains WSA, 24,000-acre Pine Creek WSA, 47,166-acre North McCullough Mountains WSA, and 56,623-acre South McCullough Mountains WSA. The preferred scheme would involve inclusion in the National Wilderness System of 36,850 acres of the Muddy Mountains WSA, 40,275 acres of the Mount Stirling WSA, 34,010 acres of La Madre Mountains WSA, 22,652 acres of the Pine Creek WSA, and 19,558 acres of the South McCullough Mountains WSA. All other lands within the seven WSAs would be managed for nonwilderness multiple-use activities. Taking all the WSAs into consideration, the management plan would allow the following uses at various places throughout BLM land in Clark County: transportation and transmission and communication corridors, mineral development, and recreational facilities development in the Spring Mountain area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Preservation of 153,345 acres of land through wilderness designation would provide protection to rare and unique resources and would maintain the pristine nature of the area. Multiple-use management of the remaining acres within the WSAs would help material and recreational needs of the surrounding populous, which includes the city of Las Vegas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: In some of the areas not designated as wilderness, management activities would degrade wilderness values. Off-road vehicle use would be foregone in areas designated as wilderness, limiting access to points within these areas. Mining and other mineral development activities within wilderness areas would be prohibited, precluding use of the affected minerals. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 83-0347D, Volume 7, Number 7.

T1  - UPPER DELAWARE SCENIC AND RECREATIONAL RIVER MANAGEMENT PLAN, NEW YORK AND PENNSYLVANIA.
AN  - 36386961; 1325
AB  - PURPOSE: A river management plan (RMP) for the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River in Pennsylvania and New York is proposed. The northern and southern termini for the river corridor include the segment of the Upper Delaware River from the confluence of the east and west branches below Hancock, New York to the existing railroad bridge immediately downstream of Cherry Island in the vicinity of Sparrow Bush, New York, for a total river corridor length of 73.4 miles. Under the preferred alternative, the landward boundary would encompass a total of 55,574.5 acres and would include those adjacent lands from which runoff drains directly into the Delaware River. In addition, the boundary line would be drawn across tributary valleys at the nearest recognizable high points closest to each stream, which may be ridgelines, peaks, or topographic promontories. The RMP and revised Land and Water Use Guidelines would be implemented by an Upper Delaware Management Council, composed of representatives from each river corridor town, the National Park Service (NPS), the state of New York, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the Delaware River Basin Commission. Three recreational and two scenic segments were established in the 1978 legislation; these segments would not be changed under this alternative. The RMP also identifies 20 hamlet areas. Levels and types of development for the scenic and recreational segments and hamlet areas have been defined in the Land and Water Use Guidelines, including principal, conditional, and incompatible uses. The guidelines contain six major principles for resource protection: (1) maintain the high water quality found in the Upper Delaware River; (2) provide for the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of visitors and residents, while also providing for the protection and preservation of natural resources; (3) provide for recreational and other public uses while protecting the Upper Delaware River as a natural resource; (4) provide for the continuation of agricultural and forestry uses; (5) conserve river area resources; and (6) maintain existing patterns of land use and ownership. Actions directed toward conserving and protecting the fisheries habitat, such as spawning areas and nurseries, are also proposed. Water quality actions are directed toward protecting the existing quality of surface water and groundwater by eliminating or mitigating the adverse impacts from runoff, contamination, other types of pollutants, and erosion. The RMP and guidelines would include actions to retain the scenic rural character of the area. The National Park Service would operate 2 ranger stations, 5 information kiosks, a visitor contact facility, 8 public river access sites, and 11 emergency access sites; provide law enforcement on the river itself; provide safety information to visitors; and complete reconstruction of the Roebling Bridge and open it to vehicular traffic. Watercraft rental businesses would be authorized to operate on the river through commercial use licenses. The National Park Service would provide technical assistance to property owners, local governments, and historic preservation organizations for cultural resources management. Upon request, states would provide information and assistance in the management of archaeological sites. The plan and guidelines are also designed to ensure the continuation of existing patterns and types of traditional land uses in the river corridor. The management council would review, coordinate, and provide direction for all aspects of the plan implementation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would prevent erosion by controlling development within 100 feet of the river and on slopes over 15 percent. Groundwater would be protected by required two-acre minimum lot size. Key scenic resources would be protected. Proposed public facilities would adequately meet present and future needs. Litter and trespassing would decrease. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Trout and bass fisheries would suffer minor impacts from new construction. Archaeological and historic resources would suffer minor impacts from new development. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), National Parks and Recreation Act of 1978 (P.L. 95-625), and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.).

T1  - WILDERNESS PLANNING AMENDMENT FOR THE DILLON RESOURCE AREA, BEAVERHEAD AND MADISON COUNTIES, MONTANA.
AN  - 36394978; 1301
AB  - PURPOSE: Determination of the status of 94,228 acres of land within eight wilderness study areas (WSAs) within 950,000 acres of public land in the Dillon Resource Area of Beaverhead and Madison counties, Montana is proposed. The areas under consideration include the 26,611-acre Ruby Mountains WSA, the 17,479-acre Blacktail Mountains WSA, the 6,230-acre East Fork of Blacktail Deer Creek WSA, the 15,509-acre Hidden Pasture Creek WSA, the 9,650-acre Bell and Limekiln Canyons WSA, the 9,806-acre Henneberry Ridge WSA, the 1,139-acre Farlin Creek area, and the 7,804-acre Axolotl WSA. Since the Farlin Creek area is less than 5,000 acres in size, it does not qualify as a WSA. The preferred alternative for management of these land areas would involve designation for inclusion in the National Wilderness System of 15,615 acres of the Ruby Mountains WSA, 10,586 acres of the Blacktail Mountains WSA, and 610 acres of Farlin Creek. The area within Farlin Creek to be designated as wilderness would be added to the proposed East Pioneer wilderness. All other lands within the eight WSAs, including all land within the Axolotl Lakes, Henneberry Ridge, Bell and Limekiln Canyons, Hidden Pasture Creek, and East Fork of Blacktail Deer Creek WSAs, would be designated and managed as nonwilderness. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Areas designated as wilderness would be protected in their pristine state for use by present and future generations, while other areas would be available for development according to available resources and regional and national needs. Opportunities for primitive and nonprimitive recreation would be made available to residents of Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. Approximately 3.8 million board feet per decade would be released for timber management. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Areas recommended for management as nonwilderness could be dredged through multiple-use developments. Opportunities for exploration or development could be restricted or foregone in areas recommended for wilderness. In Farlin Creek a potential timber harvest of 400,000 board feet per decade would be foregone. Restrictions on mineral and timber development could result in some slight economic setbacks in the local area.

T1  - NORTHWEST AREA NOXIOUS WEED CONTROL PROGRAM, WASHINGTON, OREGON, IDAHO, MONTANA, AND WYOMING (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT).
AN  - 36394744; 1305
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a noxious weed control program is proposed for Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming. The preferred alternative would involve an integrated program using herbicides and manual and biological methods to treat an estimated 44,014 acres of noxious weeds annually in the project area. Approximately 21,243 acres would be treated with herbicides using helicopter aerial, ground vehicle, and backpack methods of application. Manual treatment on 276 acres would include hand pulling and grubbing with hand tools. Approximately 800 acres would be treated mechanically, using mowing, tilling, and burning. Biological treatment on 21,695 acres would include grazing and the use of insects and pathogens. Herbicides used would include Tordon (picloram), Banvel (dicamba), Round-up (glyphosphate), and 2,4-D. Control programs would be limited to small sections in wilderness study areas and would not occur at all in wilderness areas, except where the weeds threatened outside areas or were spreading uncontrollably within the wilderness. This supplement, to be included as Chapters 3 and 4 to the final environmental impact statement (EIS), provides additional discussion on possible impacts to the human environment from the chemical portion of the proposed program. Additionally, chemical hazard assessments of dicamba, 2,4-D, picloram, and glyphosphate are included, along with an assessment of wildlife health effects. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Weed suppression would improve rangeland productivity significantly, would improve wildlife habitat used as food and cover by removing undesirable vegetation, and would prevent noxious weeds from spreading to noninfested lands. Recreational values would be enhanced by decreasing visitor exposure to the detrimental effects of the weeds. Measures would be taken to identify and protect cultural sites, and wilderness values would be protected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Weed burning would degrade air quality slightly and produce a short-term loss of soil organic matter. Burning and tilling would increase soil erosion, with a consequent slight decline in water quality. Herbicides could affect nontarget vegetation and animal species. No worker fatalities are expected to result from routine use of the herbicides. There is, however, a risk of general systemic effects for workers. Chemical treatment might result in the introduction of herbicides into the water. Certain species of wildlife and fish could be harmed by major losses of nontarget vegetation. LEGAL MANDATES: Carlson-Foley Act of 1968 (P.L. 90-583), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Noxious Weed Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-629), and Public Rangelands Improvement Act of 1978 (43 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.).

T1  - TAOS RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36387599; 1304
AB  - PURPOSE: Identification of future options for managing the 564,000 acres of public land and 1.8 million acres of federal mineral estate located in Union, Mora, Rio Arriba, Colfax, San Miguel, Los Alamos, Harding, Taos, and Santa Fe counties in northeastern New Mexico, is analyzed. Four alternatives were developed to describe the available management options. The preferred alternative is designed to provide balanced management direction. Twenty Special Management Areas (SMAs), totalling 120,817 acres, would be identified under this alternative. Off-road vehicle (ORV) use on all public lands retained in federal ownership would be limited to existing roads and trails. The Pilar watershed, an area currently being rehabilitated from road damage, would be closed to ORV use. It is estimated that a short-term reduction of the authorized grazing preference would occur on 42 "I" allotments, with a long-term increase on 41 "I" allotments. Rangeland improvements would be identified and implemented at an accelerated pace. Vegetative manipulation would occur in areas in most need of treatment for wildlife and livestock management purposes. The number of acres treated would increase to approximately 5,000 per year. Implementation of this alternative could result in the exchange or disposal of approximately 84,518 acres or 132 square miles of public land from federal ownership. The large block of land to the west of Santa Fe, Las Tetillitas, would be retained in federal ownership. Exchanges with government agencies would be given first priority; second priority would be exchanges with groups and individuals; and sales would be given the lowest priority. Two bridge sites would also be available for sale or exchange. There would be six rights-of-way exclusion areas in the following SMAs: Rio Grande Recreation Area, Rio Chama, Santa Cruz Lake, Racecourse, the lower portion of the Agua Caliente, and Embudo Canyon, for a total of 11,700 acres. Development of rights-of-way would generally not be allowed unless the rights-of-way cannot be reasonably accommodated elsewhere. There would also be two other rights-of-way restriction areas: The first area involves the public lands along the Rio Grande, which are visible from the scenic overlook on NM 68. To minimize the visual impacts of the utility line, special stipulations and restricted placement of structures would be required. The second area would be along the Rio Grande, where any new crossings of the Rio Grande would be analyzed on a case-by-case basis and would only be allowed in a rights-of-way window. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Providing special management for the Sombrillo SMA would ensure that the paleontological values would be protected and made available for future scientific study. Limiting ORV use to existing roads and trails would also help protect important paleontological resources. There would be a net short-term and long-term reduction in surface disturbance, erosion, and sediment production. In the short term, plant vigor, reproduction, and production would increase on the "I" allotments. Vegetative manipulation would enhance range conditions. Long-term impacts of the project would result in improved habitat conditions. Reducing livestock preference rates in areas with poor ecological conditions could help to improve forest and woodland regeneration. The preferred alternative would cause an increase in visitor services and opportunities, which would result in a more diverse, safe, and enjoyable experience for visitors. Fewer visual disturbances, both short term and long term, would result from protection of the natural environment through the proposed plan. Cultural resource sites and areas of national significance would be given special management attention to protect cultural values, resulting in positive, long-term effects on the resource. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The identification of 23 SMAs would severely affect 8,490 acres through the use of no surface occupancy stipulations for fluid mineral leasing. An additional 59,792 acres would be encumbered with a special stipulation for greater environmental protection. Fluid minerals would be withdrawn from 580 acres, eliminating this area from leasing. Exploration and development costs would increase because of additional environmental constraints placed on mineral resource production. Land ownership adjustment through disposal by exchange or sale of 46,238 acres would hinder access to areas of mineralization and mining claims. Irreversible and irretrievable impacts would result from the loss of land from public ownership. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - CENTRAL UTAH PROJECT, BONNEVILLE UNIT, MUNICIPAL AND INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM, SUMMIT, WASATCH, UTAH, AND SALT LAKE COUNTIES, UTAH (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 1979).
AN  - 36404926; 1327
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of the Municipal and Industrial (M&I) System of the Bonneville Unit in Salt Lake, Utah, Summit, and Wasatch counties, Utah is proposed. The project would include construction of the Jordanelle Reservoir and associated recreational facilities on the Provo River 38 miles upstream of Utah Lake; completion of the 14-mile Alpine Aqueduct, of which 1 mile is under construction; completion of the remaining 23 miles of the 38-mile Jordan Aqueduct; and modification of 15 upper Provo River reservoirs. Design features of the Jordanelle Dam would include a height of 296 feet, a crest length of 3,110 feet and width of 30 feet, and an outlet works with a multilevel intake structure. Power plant construction will be deferred, awaiting nonfederal participation. The outlet works will be designed to accommodate the convenient addition of a power plant at some future date. The potential to produce 10.4 megawatts will remain. At its total capacity of 320,300 acre-feet, the reservoir would have a surface area of 3,068 acres. The Alpine Aqueduct would consist of 5.0- to 7.5-foot concrete pipe buried at a minimum depth of 3 feet and would transport water treated at the Utah Valley Water Purification Plant. A number of feeder pipelines would connect with existing distribution systems. The Jordan Aqueduct would consist of 4.0- to 6.5-foot concrete pipe and would receive water from the Alpine Aqueduct upstream of the Utah Valley Water Purification Plant for treatment at the Jordan Water Purification Plant. As of January 1986, the Jordan and Alpine aqueducts were approximately 65 percent complete. The purpose of this supplement is to report and evaluate two types of elements: the environmental impacts of proposed modifications to the M&I System plan and impacts or consultations not previously covered. Proposed actions for which analyses or consultations have been conducted include: (1) relocating U.S. Highway 189 along an alignment different from that described in the final environmental impact statement (FEIS), (2) adding a new Wasatch County road; (3) relocating the outlet works of Jordanelle Dam from the right to the left abutment; (4) adjusting the reservoir management boundary and land for project features; (5) modifying the fishery mitigation/recreation plan between the proposed Jordanelle Reservoir and the existing Deer Creek Reservoir by refining Provo River access requirements and eliminating boating and tubing on the river; (6) modifying the wildlife mitigation plan; (7) evaluating impacts to area wetlands; and (8) consultations with the Fish and Wildlife Service regarding the June sucker, a recently listed endangered species. This supplement also provides a brief update of the status of the M&I System. Since filing of the FEIS, some circumstances have changed, some features have been constructed, and progress has been made relative to commitments made in the FEIS. In addition, this supplement provides compliance for the Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit process. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Potential safety hazards would be reduced by the road relocations. Mitigation would be provided for wildlife habitat losses stemming from road location realignments, changes in the reservoir management boundary, and wetland and riparian impacts not previously covered. The project would provide 90,000 acre-feet of water annually for municipal and industrial use in Salt Lake County and northern Utah County. Delivery of 14,100 acre-feet of supplemental irrigation water annually to 22,740 acres of agricultural lands in the Heber and Francis areas would eliminate current late-season water shortages and would reduce excessive early-season applications to these lands, increasing crop production. Stabilization of 12 of the 15 upper Provo River reservoirs would enhance recreational and fishery values in the Wasatch National Forest. Recreational provisions of the reservoir would accommodate 5,160 visitors simultaneously. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The reservoir project would result in the displacement of 38 residences, 3 businesses, 3 farms, and a small cemetery, and the impoundment would inundate 3,500 acres of wildlife habitat, including 630 acres of scarce, high-value streamside riparian habitat. Closure of the existing Olmsted power plant would result in a net loss of energy production and the elimination of 14 jobs.

T1  - JOINT GUAYULE RUBBER PROGRAM, GILA RIVER INDIAN RESERVATION, PHOENIX, PINAL COUNTY, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36404968; 1296
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of a prototype rubber extraction facility, capable of extracting 150 long tons of quality guayule rubber per year, are proposed. The project would be performed by the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and funded by the Department of Defense. The facility would be located on the Gila River Indian Reservation, south of Phoenix, in Pinal County, Arizona. The Gila River Indian community would supply the guayule shrub for the facility. The preferred alternative calls for the use of the Simultaneous Extraction Rubber Fractionation (SERF) process, under development by Firestone for the production of high quality rubber at the Santan Industrial Park. The Santan Industrial Park is located on Route 87, approximately 15 miles south of Chandler, Arizona. A second alternative evaluates the use of a water floatation process for extraction of rubber and the use of the Pima-Chandler Industrial Park as the location of the facility. A no-action alternative also was evaluated. The program consists of two different but linked actions: (1) agricultural establishment and cultivation of up to 1,000 acres of the guayule shrub to demonstrate farming techniques; and (2) construction and operation of the prototype processing facility to demonstrate the capability of producing up to 150 long tons of rubber per year by extrapolation. This project concerns itself with the second action. The purpose of the program is to provide basic research and development to assist in reducing U.S. dependence on imported natural rubber. Construction of the proposed processing facility would consist of site preparation and development of 3.5 acres of a 10-acre parcel of open land located within the industrial park, and development of a concrete foundation, a septic system and leach field (for domestic wastes), connecting roadways, and loading and unloading areas. The facility would consist of an open-sided building to house extraction equipment, a small enclosed building to house steam-generation equipment, and a number of trailers for offices, a laboratory, and locker rooms. The prototype facility would be operated for a demonstration period of nine months, during which time it would be operated at less than capacity as process requirements are fully developed and as the facility is "debugged." POSITIVE IMPACTS: The prototype processing facility is expected to employ a total of 21 full-time persons to operate the facility and transport the shrub to the site. The successful demonstration of the guayule agricultural and processing projects could result in the development of a significant new industry for the desert southwest. The Gila River Indian community would be one of the first groups to fully realize the potential of this long-term growth potential. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Ambient air quality might be affected by fugitive dust generated during construction, truck emissions resulting from transport of the shrub to the processing facility, and operational emissions. Solid waste, consisting primarily of inert materials, would be produced by the processing operation. This waste would be disposed of by landfilling. LEGAL MANDATES: Clean Air Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 1857 et seq.) and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - RANGELAND GRASSHOPPER COOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.
AN  - 15222399; 1294
AB  - PURPOSE: Alternative methods of grasshopper control are described for the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service's (APHIS) cooperative program beginning in 1987. Integrated pest management (IPM) is the preferred alternative. IPM is the selection, integration, and implementation of pest control tactics in a systems approach on the basis of anticipated economic, ecological, and sociological consequences. As implemented by APHIS, the IPM alternative would allow biological or chemical methods for grasshopper control to be selected singly or in combination and would involve ongoing research and testing to identify other feasible control methods (including cultural/mechanical methods) that could be phased into future IPM programs. The method now being used for suppression is insecticides. The primary aim of the IPM alternative would be to develop means by which outbreaks could be predicted and prevented and to develop alternative methods of grasshopper control (for both prevention and suppression) that minimize the use of chemicals. APHIS's preferred alternative has been developed to incorporate elements of an interagency IPM pilot project, begun in 1986, for long-range programmatic consideration. Malathion, carbaryl, acephate sprays, carbaryl bait, and Nosema locustae bait would be currently available; research would continue on other chemical and biological methods and on cultural/mechanical methods. Database development based on survey results would also be used to enhance APHIS's outbreak prediction capabilities, and environmental monitoring results would be used to refine operational procedures. As methods become operational, APHIS would conduct environmental analyses to supplement this environmental impact statement (EIS) for consideration in its program. Potential impacts on soils, vegetation, wildlife, water quality and aquatic systems, human health and worker safety, air quality, socioeconomics, historic and cultural resources, visual resources, and noise levels are examined. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The program is designed to control outbreaks of grasshopper and Mormon crickets. Application of the chemical pesticides considered would reduce populations of these pests and would protect forage. Because of the criteria established for the preferred alternative, the amount of chemicals used would be less than that which would be used for chemical control alone. Natural resources for livestock production, wildlife habitat, watersheds, recreation, and assorted economic interests would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Each chemical is toxic to some nontarget insects, especially honeybees, during and immediately after treatment. Implementation of the project would result in the death of millions of grasshoppers, removing a food source from the ecosystem. Potential adverse impacts would be avoided through adherence to the operational procedures and mitigation measures provided. PRIOR REFERENCES: For abstracts of the draft EIS, the draft supplement to the draft EIS, the final EIS, and the draft and final supplements to the final EIS, see 80-0221D, Volume 4, Number 3; 80-0442D, Volume 4, Number 6; 80-0607F, Volume 4, Number 8; 86-0005D, Volume 10, Number 1; and 86-0138F, Volume 10, Number 4, respectively.

T1  - WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE BENTON-OWENS VALLEY/BODIE-COLEVILLE STUDY AREAS, BAKERSFIELD DISTRICT, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36386812; 1298
AB  - PURPOSE: Inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System of 19 Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs) is proposed within the Benton-Owens Valley/Bodie-Coleville study areas in the Bakersfield District of California. The study area includes 287,876 acres of public land and 8,510 acres of uninventoried Forest Service lands. The preferred management scheme for the study area would involve inclusion in the system of portions of the Sacatar Meadows and Southern Inyo WSAs. WSAs recommended as nonsuitable for inclusion in the national system would include Cerro Gordo, Independence Creek, Crater Mountain, Symmes Creek, Chidago Canyon, Fish Slough, Volcanic Tableland, Casa Diablo, Excelsior, Granite Mountains, Walford Spring, Mormon Meadows, Mt. Biedeman, Bodie Mountains, Bodie, Masonic Mountains, and Slinkard. Portions of the Sacatar Meadows and Southern Inyo WSAs also would be excluded from consideration as wilderness. POSITIVE IMPACTS: For the portions of the WSAs included in the national system, the management scheme would optimize manageability of the wilderness through elimination of significant manageability problem areas, allow livestock grazing and wildlife improvement projects while maintaining wilderness values, improve consistency of management with adjacent areas considered suitable for wilderness management, and protect unique Bristlecone pine species and historic sites included in the National Register of Historic Places. For areas deemed nonsuitable, the scheme would provide management for utilization of all resources, improving the ability of local interests to exploit economically valuable resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Broad utilization of resources in WSAs not suitable for designation as wilderness would result in degradation of some of their natural aspects. Restrictions placed on WSA land included in the national system would preclude some beneficial vegetation manipulations and recreational developments. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 83-0578D, Volume 7, Number 11.

T1  - CENTENNIAL MOUNTAINS WILDERNESS STUDY, BEAVERHEAD COUNTY, MONTANA AND CLARK AND FREMONT COUNTIES, IDAHO.
AN  - 36394888; 1259
AB  - PURPOSE: Designation of 26,248 acres of the 72,885-acre Centennial Mountains Study Area as wilderness is proposed, including the lands once designated as the Centennial Mountain Primitive Area (CMPA) managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and 4,474 acres of the Mount Jefferson Roadless Area presently managed by the Beaverhead National Forest. It is also recommended that this area be included in the National Wilderness Preservation System. The Centennial Mountains lie on the Idaho-Montana border, 75 miles north of Idaho Falls, Idaho. The study area covers 72,885 acres in Clark and Fremont counties in Idaho and Beaverhead County in Montana. The CMPA provides spectacular scenery and the watershed for the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge; it contains a portion of the Continental Divide Trail and is a popular area for snowmobiling, big game hunting, and fishing. Phosphate deposits occur within the study area boundary, and there is low to moderate geologic favorability for oil and gas. Forty-eight percent of the study area has unstable soils. Disturbance of these soils north of the Divide has been linked to sedimentation into the Red Rock Lakes and associated fishery streams. Ranchers have grazed sheep and cattle in the study area for 100 years, and the area also supports elk, mule deer, moose, and black bear. It contains habitat for threatened and endangered species such as the grizzly bear, peregrine falcons, wolves, and bald eagles. Timber consists mainly of Douglas-fir, with some alpine fir and spruce. Some of the forests are highly productive. The study area lies in a remote, rural area where the population density is very low. The major occupations in the surrounding area are ranching, logging, mining, and working in recreation-related businesses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values would remain undisturbed on 36 percent of the study area in Montana. Vehicle access would be allowed in the northwest portion in the summer and fall. Livestock grazing south of the Continental Divide might increase by 13 percent over the long term. Approximately 10,700 acres of elk habitat would remain undisturbed, while 2,500 acres would be available for logging. Conflicts between development activity and grizzly bears would remain low in Montana, as well as in those portions of Idaho not recommended for wilderness. The preferred alternative would sustain $344,365 of annual income to the local economy from all economic activities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Seventeen percent of snowmobile use would be lost. Erosion and slumping might increase on 48 percent of the unstable soils due to development activities. Fifteen percent of the drainage inside the study area that feeds both on-site and off-site wetlands below Red Rock Lakes might be developed, which would affect trumpeter swan and fisheries habitats in Montana. Oil and gas activity on 6,507 acres of existing leases would be restricted in the short term and foregone on 26,248 acres in the long term. Approximately 77 percent of the annual timber harvest would be foregone over the long term. An additional sum of $418,397 of annual income to the local economy from economic activities would not be realized.

T1  - PINEDALE RESOURCE AREA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, SUBLETTE AND LINCOLN COUNTIES, WYOMING.
AN  - 36405610; 1262
AB  - PURPOSE: Management options for approximately 931,000 acres of public surface and 1.2 million acres of federal mineral estate administered by the Bureau of Land Management within the Pinedale Resource Area are addressed. The administrative boundary of the resource area includes Sublette County and portions of Lincoln, Teton, and Fremont counties in Wyoming. Four issues would be resolved by identifying areas that would be available or not compatible with surface-disturbing activities such as mineral development, transportation and rights-of-way needs, public lands suitable for disposal or retention, effects on vegetation resources, and provisions for off-road vehicles and recreation needs. Four alternatives are presented. The preferred alternative allows for resource use, with greater emphasis on the protection of the natural environment than alternatives A or B; consists of watershed and wildlife prescriptions from Alternative C; includes wild horse management prescriptions from Alternative B; and includes the remaining resource management prescriptions (such as mineral leasing, forest management, and livestock grazing) from alternatives A, B, and C. Alternative A is the No Action Alternative; Alternative B emphasizes the development and use of natural resources, with major emphasis on resource development; and Alternative C emphasizes protection of the environment to a greater extent than do alternatives A and B, with the major emphasis also on resource protection. Under the preferred alternative, no surface occupancy would be allowed on elk feedgrounds; no surface disturbance would be allowed from May 1 to June 30 in elk calving areas; seasonal restrictions would be applied to active raptor nests; and with the exception of timber cutting, no surface disturbance would be allowed within 500 feet of riparian habitat, wetlands, and/or live water unless potential for successful rehabilitation exists. Public lands would be made available for orderly and efficient development of mineral resources while ensuring compatibility with other resources. All lands not specifically closed would be open to consideration for leasing, exploration, and development of oil and gas, mineral leasing, and locatable minerals. Guidance for surface-disturbing activities would support soil conservation and erosion control. Actions to close or restrict areas for fossil protection would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The quality of surface water and groundwater would be maintained or enhanced. Approximately 16,000 acres would be treated for wildlife habitat improvement, and 15 water facilities would be developed. Threatened and endangered species and their habitat would be protected. Forage resources would be managed to improve ecological range conditions and to maintain or improve watershed, wildlife, and riparian areas while maintaining or increasing the amount of forage available for livestock grazing. All developed and semideveloped recreation sites would be closed to livestock grazing. Harvesting, thinning, and reforestation would continue. Visual resource management classes would be lowered in some areas to facilitate development and raised in other areas to protect visual resources. The fire management program would provide for the protection of public health, safety, life, and property, while providing maximum benefits of fire to overall resource management. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Air quality would be maintained or enhanced. Public health and safety would be protected, and the acid rain monitoring site would be maintained. Forest resources would be managed for production of forest products while maintaining the wildlife cover levels at current levels. Suitable access to public lands would be provided by acquiring new access where needed or abandoning or closing existing roads or two-tracks where high densities or other conditions warrant. Recreation resources would be managed to accommodate existing use, to prevent resource degradation in high-use areas, and to provide for anticipated increased recreational use. Cultural resources, natural history, and paleontology resource values would be protected. Soil productivity and stability would be maintained. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some short-term impacts to air quality would occur from emissions due to development and prescribed burning activities. Forage allocations would reduce net forage gains. Wild horses would be removed. Restriction to the forest base and removal of forest acreage from harvest would result in lower harvest levels. Reduction of the riparian buffer to 100 feet would have an adverse effect on visual resources. Vegetation manipulation could cause minor adverse impacts in the short term.

T1  - FARMINGTON RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, SAN JUAN, MCKINLEY, RIO ARRIBA, AND SANDOVAL COUNTIES, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36399223; 1261
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan for the public lands within the Farmington Resource Area (FRA) for the next 10 to 20 years is proposed. Located in northwestern New Mexico, the FRA is directly responsible for managing 1.5 million acres of federal surface estate and 3.0 million acres of mineral estate within San Juan, McKinley, Rio Arriba, and Sandoval counties. Seven issues have been addressed: (1) land ownership adjustments; (2) home use fuel sources; (3) special management areas; (4) coal leasing suitability assessments; (5) transportation (public access and off-road vehicle designations); (6) vegetative uses; and (7) rights-of-way corridors and windows. The preferred alternative is designed to provide balanced management direction. The goal is to resolve the seven issues by providing for a combination of resource uses that would protect important environmental values and sensitive resources, while at the same time, allowing development of resources that provide commercial goods and services. Under the preferred alternative, up to 325,000 acres of split estate lands would be created; a total of 17 coal tracts would be brought forward for further consideration for leasing; a long-term reduction of 15,174 animal unit months of forage is estimated for the I and selected C category grazing allotments; 119,313 acres are identified for acquisition, while 324,942 acres are identified for disposal; and four rights-of-way windows are identified. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Forest and woodland management would be improved by the initiation of silvicultural treatments. Acreage available for the collection of fuelwood would increase. Up to 324,000 acres of wildlife habitat would be removed from federal ownership. Important bald eagle winter roosts would be protected. A total of 27,490 acres of threatened or endangered species habitat would have off-the-road vehicular travel limitations. Wildlife resources would improve. Protection and management of significant cultural resource sites would be more balanced, with prehistoric and historic occupations represented in the management spectrum. Reductions in erosion and sediment production would be expected on 132,439 acres. Long-term decreases in erosion and sediment production would be expected on the I category grazing allotments. In the short term, preferred livestock forage and ecological conditions would improve in the I allotments. In the long term, resolution of resource conflicts would be expected on the I allotments. Long-term positive effects of land policies would be improved management efficiency and effectiveness on consolidated lands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Long-term negative effects of land policies would include the potential increased conflicts caused by the creation of additional split estate lands. The land ownership adjustment, coal leasing suitability, and vegetative uses have the potential of arousing social concerns among the Navajo people. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1975 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE TONOPAH RESOURCE AREA, NEVADA.
AN  - 36394648; 1260
AB  - PURPOSE: Inclusion in the National Wilderness System of 234,080 acres of land within nine wilderness study areas (WSAs) in the 3.6-million-acre Tonopah Resource Area in Nye County, Nevada is proposed. The Tonopah Resource Area lies within the 11-million-acre Battle Mountain District, and the nine WSAs contain a total of 483,050 acres. WSAs under consideration include the 54,320-acre Kawich area, the 64,360-acre Rawhide Mountain area, the 40,940-acre Fandango area, the 20,120-acre Morey area, the 99,550-acre Palisade Mesa area, the 38,000-acre The Wall area, the 106,200 South Reveille area, and the 59,560-acre Blue Eagle area. The preferred management scheme would retain approximately 234,080 acres as wilderness, while managing the remaining acres as nonwilderness or partial wilderness. Specifically, the scheme would involve management of the Kawich and Rawhide Mountain WSAs as nonwilderness and the Fandango and Morey WSAs as partial wilderness, with some acreage managed for multiple use; designation of the Palisade Mesa, The Wall, and the Blue Eagle WSAs as partial wilderness; designation of 33,000 acres of the South Reveille area as wilderness; and management of the periphery of the area, totalling 73,200 acres, as nonwilderness. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values within the areas designated as wilderness would be preserved for present and future generations. Reduction of the South Reveille area and denial of wilderness designation to other areas would allow for development of the resources in these areas. Elimination of vehicular traffic in areas designated as wilderness would benefit wildlife, provide opportunities for primitive recreation, and protect cultural resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The pristine character of the areas designated as nonwilderness could be altered due to management activities and human encroachment. Wilderness designation would preclude mining in designated areas and limit range developments in the Fandango and Blue Eagle areas. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - ANGELES PIPELINE PROJECT, KERN AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36386634; 1248
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of the Angeles Pipeline, a part of the Southern California Pipeline System (SCPS), which includes the Los Padres Pipeline between Gaviota (or Las Flores Canyon) in Santa Barbara and Emidio in Kern County, and the Angeles Pipeline between Emidio and refineries in the Los Angeles Basin, is proposed. Participants in the SCPS are the Four Corners Pipe Line Company, a subsidiary of ARCO; Chevron Pipe Line Company; Texaco Refining and Marketing, Inc.; and Shell Oil Company. This draft environmental impact statement analyzes the environmental effects of the proposed pipeline, pump stations, pressure reduction station, and tank farm through construction, operation, maintenance, and abandonment. The proposed project would extend from the Emidio pump station/tank farm in Kern County to the refineries in Los Angeles County. It would have a design throughout of 330,000 barrels per day (bpd), comprising 200,000 bpd of offshore crude oil and 130,000 bpd of San Joaquin Valley crude oil. The proposed route would be approximately 135 miles long; the Westerly Alternative, approximately 130 miles long; and the Easterly Alternative, approximately 138 miles long. The steel pipe would have a 30-inch outside diameter and would have an operating pressure of 50 to 1,061 pounds per square inch gauge pressure. The entire pipeline would be coated with mill-applied, high-density polyethylene over butyl rubber adhesive, with heat shrinkable sleeves for field joints. On irregular surfaces, coal-tar epoxy cement would be used. The SCPS would be operated from a main control center located near Bakersfield, California, at an existing facility. Approximately five permanent employees would be stationed at the Emidio pump station and tank farm. The project life of the pipeline systems would depend on the availability of crude oil. Should additional supplies become available, the life of the facilities and/or their capacities could be extended beyond the projected 50-year life of the project. Insufficient availability of crude oil or other economic situations could make operation of the pipeline system infeasible beyond the 50-year project life and could result in the abandonment and disposal of all or portions of the system. Abandonment procedures used would be subject to appropriate local, state, and federal regulations existing at that time. Construction costs, in 1985 dollars, are estimated at $225 million, with annual operating costs of $24 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would respond to the need for the transportation of crude oil to the Los Angeles Basin in a manner that is cost-effective and minimizes risk to the environment. The use of enhanced recovery techniques in the San Joaquin Valley is expected to increase the production of crude oil and extend the life of existing fields. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Traffic congestion would be temporarily increased and businesses along the pipeline route would experience a loss of revenues during construction. Major oil spills or leaks could degrade water quality. Possible impacts would occur at and downstream from any stream crossing or body of water. Potential oil spills could affect water-related recreation at Pyramid Lake, Castaic Lagoon, or Hansen Recreation Areas. Construction activities could potentially disturb sediments with highly important paleontologic resources. There would be a loss of three acres of riparian vegetation and seven acres of oak woodlands. Loss of wildlife species, including the least Bell's vireo, an important fish species, could result from either construction or a potential oil spill. Construction activities could disturb sites eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

T1  - WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE NORTHCENTRAL CALIFORNIA WILDERNESS STUDY AREAS.
AN  - 36404397; 1256
AB  - PURPOSE: Rejection of potential wilderness designation and implementation of alternative land management schemes are proposed for the 18,690-acre Timbered Crater Wilderness Study Area (WSA) and the 11,632-acre Lava WSA in the Ukiah District of northcentral California. The Timbered Crater WSA lies in Shasta, Modoc, and Siskiyou counties; the Lava WSA lies in Shasta and Lassen counties. The preferred management scheme would involve implementation of multiple-use management activities within both WSAs; neither WSA would be incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System. For the Timbered Crater WSA, management directives would allow resource development only in cases where the natural character of the WSA would be protected. Three combination big game /small game guzzlers would be developed in the central parts of the WSA, the entire area would be open to off-road vehicle (ORV) travel. No grazing management actions are planned. The proposed plan would maintain the Baker cypress area as a natural area, protect habitat on 1,000 acres of critical deer winter range, provide for prescribed burning and limit fire suppression, maintain visual resources to prevent obvious alterations, and transfer 480 acres to the state for recreational purposes. For the Lava WSA, management directives would optimize critical winter deer range, maintain existing grazing leases, allow development of mineral and other resources, guide management class designation on critical deer winter range on the basis of recreational demand, and limit ORV use to designated roads and trails. POSITIVE IMPACTS: While maintaining some wilderness values within the WSAs, multiple-use management would allow for development of important resources, including minerals, within the areas. In addition, recreational and habitat values would be protected and enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Developments undertaken as a result of multiple-use management would degrade some wilderness values, possibly precluding future consideration of wilderness designation for the two WSAs. Limitation of fire suppression could result in damaging fires. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), Recreation and Public Purposes Act of 1926, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.), and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - CENTRAL CALIFORNIA STUDY AREAS WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS.
AN  - 36400777; 1255
AB  - PURPOSE: Seven wilderness study areas (WSAs) in the Central California Study Area are considered for inclusion in the National Wilderness System. Areas under consideration are the 12,835-acre Merced River WSA; the 6,677-acre Panoche Hills North WSA; the 11,267-acre Panoche Hills South WSA; the 5,838-acre Pinnacles Wilderness Contiguous WSA; the 19,018-acre Caliente Mountain WSA; the 22,560-acre Owens Peak WSA; and the 5,527-acre Piute-Cypress WSA. The Pinnacles Wilderness Contiguous WSA would be managed as partial wilderness. Under the proposal, 2,200 acres would be designated wilderness; 3,638 acres would not be designated but would be managed for multiple use. The Owens Peak WSA would also be recommended for partial wilderness: 14,960 acres would be designated wilderness; 7,600 acres would not be designated but would be managed for multiple use. Other WSAs under consideration would be managed as nonwilderness. Issues considered in evaluating each area include wilderness resources and values, recreational resources and values, livestock grazing resources, fire management, land tenure adjustment requirements, and mineral exploration and development potential. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Lands to be designated as wilderness would be amenable to effective wilderness management techniques and would be protected in their natural state for enjoyment by present and future generations. Nonwilderness management would allow continued use of nondesignated areas by off-road vehicles, development of new mineral claims in nondesignated areas, continuation of livestock management and prescribed burning techniques in the Pinnacles Wilderness Contiguous WSA, and use of the existing gravel pit in the Owens Peak WSA. The proposed scheme would also provide for protection of the unique ectone formed by the interfacing of four ecological communities in the Owens Peak WSA and management techniques consistent with the national monument wilderness in the Pinnacles Wilderness Contiguous WSA. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Access to 17,100 acres of land designated as wilderness would be closed to recreational vehicle users, and 40 animal unit months of livestock grazing would be lost. Fire management techniques and mineral resource exploration and development would be limited on wilderness areas. Wilderness values in areas designated for nonwilderness management could be degraded by management and exploitation activities.

T1  - ALTURAS RESOURCE AREA WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS, LASSEN AND MODOC COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA (SECOND FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT TO THE ALTURAS RESOURCE AREA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN).
AN  - 36398977; 1254
AB  - PURPOSE: This environmental impact statement (EIS) was developed from the Alturas Resource Area Resource Management Plan (RMP), in which wilderness was one of 14 issues addressed. This EIS addresses material that pertained to the Pit River Canyon Wilderness Study Area (WSA) and the Tule Mountain WSA and the suitability of these areas for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. These WSAs cover 28,528 acres of public land in Lassen and Modoc counties, located in northeastern California. The Pit River Canyon WSA contains 11,575 acres of public land in northern Lassen County. Redding, California is a two-hour drive to the west and Reno, Nevada is a three- to four-hour drive to the south. The proposed action for this WSA is partial wilderness, in which 6,640 acres would be designated wilderness while the remaining 4,935 acres would continue to be managed under the existing Alturas RMP. The Tule Mountain WSA contains 16,950 acres of public land in eastern Lassen and Modoc counties. Redding, California is a three- to four-hour drive to the west, and Reno, Nevada is a three- to four-hour drive to the south. The proposed action for this WSA is No Wilderness/No Action, which means that none of the 16,950 acres within the WSA would be designated wilderness. The WSA would continue to be managed under the existing Alturas RMP. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The 6,640 acres in the Pit River Canyon WSA recommended for wilderness contain numerous special features that enhance wilderness values, including high-density raptor nesting habitat, diverse fisheries, high scenic quality, and high cultural resource values, which would remain undisturbed. The deep canyons and upland areas in this WSA represent the most natural conditions in the WSA and contain the best opportunities for solitude and primitive and unconfined recreation. The Tule Mountain WSA would continue to be managed for livestock grazing and wildlife habitat under the existing Alturas Resource Area RMP. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Nonwilderness designation would disturb soil and vegetation due to land treatment measures and would result in continued suppression of riparian and meadow habitat where fencing would not be installed, minor degradation of wilderness values, continued moderate degradation of cultural resources, slight decreases in availability of fuelwood due to restricted cutting on sites to be protected, significant to moderate reduction in productivity on commercial forests, and loss of timber revenues due to removal of some commercial forestlands from the timber base. Wilderness designation would eliminate motorized recreation use, which could affect the availability of recreation opportunities, particularly hunting and fishing.

T1  - PROPOSED ALASKAN RADAR SYSTEM, OVER-THE-HORIZON BACKSCATTER (OTH-B) RADAR PROGRAM, ELMENDORF AIR FORCE BASE, ALASKA.
AN  - 15221525; 1200
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of the Alaska Radar System (ARS), an Over-the-Horizon Backscatter (OTH-B) radar program that would be located in south-central Alaska, are proposed. OTH-B radar is a surveillance and tracking radar system that the Air Force plans to construct and operate at four locations in the United States. The functions of these radar systems are to detect, track, and give early warning of aircraft and cruise missiles approaching North America. The four planned OTH-B systems would establish a surveillance zone around the east, west, and south perimeters of North America. The ARS is needed to complete the perimeter coverage of the western and northwestern approaches. The functional components of the ARS would be geographically separated from one another: different sites would be required for the transmit and receive antennas; the operations center, which would process radar data, would be separate from both of these sites. The areas of Gulkana and Tok, Alaska would be the preferred areas for the transmit and receive sites, respectively. Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska is the proposed location of the operations center. The OTH-B transmitters and receivers use very large fixed antennas. The two antenna arrays and related structures at the transmit site would require a minimum of approximately 1,300 acres; the two at the receive site would require a minimum of approximately 1,200 acres. The operations center would be housed in a conventional building of approximately 33,000 square feet. Approximately 70 maintenance and security personnel would be required at the transmit site and approximately 60 at the receive site; approximately 315 operating personnel would be located at the operations center. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Early warning of hostile aircraft approaching North America is critical to the defense of the United States. Significant economic stimulation of local rural economies would result from ARS construction and operation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some possible impacts of the proposed project include: grading and borrow requirements, damage to the permafrost and subsequent damage to the terrain, disruption of salmon spawning beds, disturbance of trumpeter swan nesting areas, and collision of birds with the antenna structure and backscreen. Subsistence activities could be impacted from alteration of game migration patterns and from increased access to subsistence resources. In addition to land for the antenna arrays and associated facilities, the project would require land for access roads, which could be as long as 10 miles; for construction staging areas; and for gravel sources. Land acquisition could be a significant and time-consuming process and could alter existing land use patterns.

T1  - OREGON STATEWIDE WILDERNESS STUDY (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT).
AN  - 36387379; 1213
AB  - PURPOSE: This supplemental environmental impact statement (EIS) considers the additional lands that have been restored or added to wilderness study area (WSA) status since the filing of the draft EIS. The total number and acres of WSAs have now been brought up to 85 WSAs and 2.6 million acres, located in eastern Oregon. The preferred alternative would recommend 1.0 million acres in 44 WSAs as suitable and 1.6 million acres as nonsuitable for wilderness designation. Wilderness areas would be withdrawn from locations of new mining claims and the issuance of mineral leases upon designation. Livestock grazing, where previously established, would be allowed to continue, and new grazing facilities could be constructed to protect rangeland or wilderness resources. The wild horse herd would be maintained. Prescribed burning may be practiced, and fires would be controlled; in some cases, however, natural fires would be allowed to burn to return some wilderness ecosystems to a more natural state. Insect and disease outbreaks would be controlled if they threatened timber or other valuable resources outside a wilderness area or caused the loss of an endangered species within the wilderness area. Water resource facilities that existed before wilderness designation may be used and maintained. Motorized equipment and vehicles may be used for maintenance activities when no alternatives exist. Nonmotorized and noncommercial recreation would be permitted. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation would allow natural ecosystems and ecological processes to function with minimal human influence. Ecological, geological, and historical features would be preserved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values would be impaired in areas not receiving wilderness designation and in some adjoining wilderness areas. Wilderness designation would preclude such commercial resource use as livestock grazing, timber harvesting, and mineral development. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 85-0258D, Volume 9, Number 6.

T1  - PROPOSED ALL AMERICAN PIPELINE PROJECT FROM THE SANTA BARBARA CHANNEL IN CALIFORNIA TO McCAMEY, TEXAS (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1985).
AN  - 36401221; 1204
AB  - PURPOSE: The All American Pipeline Company (a Celeron company) is currently constructing a 1,247-mile, 30-inch diameter, 300,000 barrels per day (BPD), heated crude oil pipeline from Las Flores Canyon in Santa Barbara County, California to a terminal at McCamey, Texas. A 486-mile, 30-inch diameter extension of the All American Pipeline is now proposed to transport 300,000 BPD of crude oil from an existing tank farm in McCamey to interconnections with existing pipelines at Webster, Texas and to a marine terminal in the Texas City area. In addition to the proposed route (486 miles), two alternative pipeline routes and the No Project Alternative were considered. The pipeline alternatives are the Northern Alternative (546 miles; located to the north of the proposed route) and the Southern Alternative (538 miles; located to the south of the proposed alternative). The route alternative preferred by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is the Northern Alternative, which traverses 23 counties and would cross 69 major highways, 28 railroads, and 116 rivers and streams. Six pump/heater stations would be located along the route. Remote-control block valves would be installed at pump/heater stations along the Northern Alternative. All major stream crossings would have manual block and check valves. The Edwards Balcones Fault Zone Aquifer would not be crossed. Construction of the pipeline from McCamey to Webster and Texas City would require approximately one year, beginning in the third quarter of 1987 and completed in the second quarter of 1988. Construction costs are estimated at $270 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The All American Pipeline, including the Texas segment, would operate as an interstate common carrier, providing access and transportation services to all shippers on an equal basis. The pipeline project would transport heavy crude oil from Santa Barbara County to refineries that have the capability and capacity to refine the oil. A pipeline system would reduce the growing surplus of crude oil on the West Coast and would transport oil to markets that need and can utilize it. Transportation of the crude oil by pipeline rather than by tanker would be less expensive and significantly more secure. During construction, two construction spreads, consisting of 335 employees per spread, would be required. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Significant construction impacts focus on loss of riparian habitat and potential loss of threatened and endangered species habitat, and loss of cultural and paleontological resources. Operation impacts would result primarily from oil spill leaks and ruptures. Approximately eight spills, averaging 3,400 barrels, are estimated during the 40-year project life. The discharge of oil to a stream or river would cause a significant loss of riparian habitat, threatened or endangered species, fisheries, wildlife, and recreation. The loss of municipal and irrigation water supplies from an oil spill would be significant. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - POCATELLO RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, IDAHO.
AN  - 36399739; 1211
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan for the 264,481 acres of surface lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management and 648,901 acres of federal mineral estate in the Pocatello Resource Area of the Idaho Falls District, Idaho is proposed. The preferred alternative represents a mix of resource uses that takes a balanced approach to public land management. A total of 598,581 acres would be open to nonenergy leasables, and 44,378 acres would be closed. There would be 354,508 acres open to fluid mineral leasing; 324,009 acres open with seasonal and standard stipulations; and 30,499 acres open with nonsurface-occupancy restrictions. A total of 38,895 acres would be closed to fluid mineral leasing, a total of 330,250 acres would be open to locatable mineral entry, and 57,211 acres would be closed. For mineral materials, 311,793 acres would be open and 75,668 acres closed. Approximately 17,078 acres would be identified for disposal through sale, exchange, or the Recreation and Public Purposes Act process. Approximately 247,413 acres would be identified for retention, and 191,561 acres would be open for rights-of-way application. The preferred alternative would provide 29,969 animal unit months (AUMs) of livestock forage in the short-term and 34,276 AUMs in the long-term. Forage would be provided for 543 elk and 7,105 deer. Approximately 82,138 acres of big game range would be maintained in satisfactory condition. Under this alternative, 75,115 acres would be designated open to off-road vehicles (ORVs), 3,537 acres would be closed, and 185,829 acres would have limited restrictions. Approximately 13,255 acres of public forestland would be open to commercial harvest under existing regulations, restrictions, and stipulations. There would also be 28,011 acres of woodlands available for public use. Under this alternative, 7.89 miles of stream would be managed to maintain existing fisheries, water quality, and riparian habitat in the current satisfactory condition. An additional 20.15 miles of stream would be improved. Public access would be obtained to approximately 37,300 acres of public land. POSITIVE IMPACTS: There would be a minor decrease in the amount of land available for minerals development. Range conditions would improve due to vegetation manipulations and range improvements. Livestock AUMs would show a moderate increase. Deer and elk numbers would increase, and there would also be a minor increase in big game habitat. Acres designated open for ORVs would decrease, and would increase for limited designation. Commercial forestlands available for management would increase. There would be a moderate improvement in water quality, fisheries, and riparian condition. Economic conditions would improve over the existing situation with a possible increase of 32 jobs. Legal access would be obtained, increasing management efficiency. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: There would be a minor decrease in lands available for transfer from federal ownership. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - HICKEY MOUNTAIN - TABLE MOUNTAIN OIL AND GAS FIELD DEVELOPMENT, UINTA COUNTY, WYOMING.
AN  - 36400881; 1208
AB  - PURPOSE: The development, production, treatment, and transportation of natural sweet gas and oil from a new deep oil and gas field by Sun Exploration and Production Company, American Quasar Petroleum Company, Texaco Inc., Diamond Shamrock Exploration Company, Conoco Inc., General Atlantic Energy, Anadarko Petroleum Company, and Mountain Fuel Resources Company in the Hickey Mountain-Table Mountain area, located in Uinta County in southwestern Wyoming, is proposed. The study area comprises 45,510 acres and contains 13 existing exploratory wells, which have begun to define the potential and the limits to petroleum resources beneath the surface. The proposed action consists of well locations, access roads, hydrocarbon processing and storage (including wastewater disposal), product transportation, and power sources. Between the eight companies involved in the action, 51 oil and gas wells, 14 repressurization wells, 1 wastewater injection well, 62.2 miles of road, 55.6 miles of pipeline, 19 miles of electric powerline, and 1 electric power substation are proposed to be constructed with maximum development. Seven small- to medium-capacity hydrocarbon processing plants are proposed, along with other well-site processing facilities. With maximum proposed development, there would be approximately one well in every square mile. Recently acquired geological information indicates that development to the extent described in the proposed action may not be fully achieved. Initial development would be centered within and close to the Luckey Ditch Unit (within one to two miles outside the unit). Further discoveries could enable drilling to move to areas outside of initial development. The agency preferred alternative includes the proposed action with modification of collector roads, hydrocarbon processing, and product transportation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The developmental phase of the project would last approximately 7 to 12 years, which would utilize goods, services, and labor already available in the county. Employment of 200 persons in 1987 and the next few years would be expected, with long-term employment of 36. The local tax base would increase from minerals royalty taxes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Virtually all available hydrocarbons would be removed. Wildlife impacts for full field development under all alternatives would be greatest to elk that use the study area for calving and wintering. Other impacts on wildlife during development activities would involve moose and mule deer winter and crucial winter ranges. Field development would disturb big game animals already impacted by recreational and oil and gas traffic on roads within the study area and by hunting and timber harvest activities. Landslide hazards exist within much of the area. Many miles of road and pipelines and plant sites and well pads would affect sensitive soils. Additional field development would increase the operational risks of sedimentation and petroleum introduction to waters in the area. Field development, including roads, wells, and processing plants, would also create a human-influenced setting, replacing the moderately natural visual surroundings that presently exist. Authorization of field development roads would force the closure of existing primitive roads and the gating of new roads to preclude recreational traffic. LEGAL MANDATES: Clean Air Act of 1977, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7411 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.).

T1  - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE SHOSHONE-EUREKA RESOURCE AREA, NEVADA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1984).
AN  - 36395546; 1212
AB  - PURPOSE: This draft supplement to the final environmental impact statement proposes to implement a Resources Management Plan (RMP) Amendment that would manage livestock use and impacts on wildlife habitat from livestock grazing on a high percentage of the Shoshone-Eureka Resource Area, located in northcentral Nevada. The area includes most of Lander and Eureka counties and a portion of northern Nye County and contains 4.3 million acres of public land, currently managed as Maintain and Custodial Category Allotments. A Proposed Amendment and a No Action Alternative examine different solutions to the resource management issue. Each of the alternatives is multiple-use oriented but differs significantly in the balance struck among resource uses. Under the Proposed Amendment, livestock use would be managed at 239,717 animal unit months (AUMs) (5-year average use) in the short term to determine whether such use can be maintained. In the long term, livestock use would be managed at 262,500 AUMs. A grazing management program would be established, designed to provide key forage plants with adequate rest from grazing during critical growth periods. This would be achieved through management of the livestock and wild horses at levels that would allow more plants to complete growth cycles and increase storage of reserves for future growth. In the long term, the goal would be to improve ecological conditions on 616,394 acres; to improve and maintain 126,967 acres of big game habitat in good condition and 6,104 acres in excellent condition; to stop downward trends on 65,702 acres of big game habitat and to manage for upward trends on 129,941 acres; and to improve and maintain in good or better condition a total of 84.8 miles of aquatic habitat and 1,018 acres of riparian habitat associated with the streams and an additional 1,414 acres of other meadows, springs, and aspen groves. In the short term, 64 miles of aquatic habitat and 768 acres of riparian habitat associated with the streams would be improved and maintained, as well as an additional 1,067 acres of other meadows, springs, and aspen groves. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Terrestrial wildlife habitat would generally improve; implementation of allotment management plans and grazing systems would generally benefit wildlife habitat by controlling livestock distribution and utilizing forage; vegetation manipulation would increase livestock grazing; licensed livestock grazing use would have a significant beneficial effect on livestock industry employment; protected aquatic habitat and the ecological condition and vegetation trend would improve; improved riparian habitat conditions would provide wildlife habitat diversity and increase the number of wildlife using riparian areas, particularly sage grouse and nongame birds; net ranch income should increase by approximately $214,000, with an increase in the regional economy estimated at $450,000; employment would increase by a total of 16 additional jobs in the livestock industry; and an additional 13 jobs in the area economy would occur. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Winterfat foliage would be damaged by late winter grazing or heavy use; a potential adverse impact to mule deer could occur when livestock grazing is continuously deferred during normal plant growth; deer habit quality could decrease, and fencing would impair deer and pronghorn antelope movement; and pressure placed on wild horses by actions allowed under the management scheme could reduce some herds to subminimum levels. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - Guidelines for using fuse plug embankments in auxiliary spillways
AN  - 19605449; 7322170
AB  - A fuse plug embankment is an earthfill structure designed to wash out in a predictable and controlled manner when the water surface of the reservoir behind it reaches a specified level. The purpose of a fuse plug is to provide a safe, economical means for controlling the maximum reservoir water surface elevation by increasing discharge capabilities during major flood events. Consideration of the use of a fuse plug is based on the evaluation of interdependent criteria. Site conditions should be favorable for construction of an auxiliary spillway. An auxiliary spillway is constructed to provide discharge capacity in addition to that provided by a service spillway and/or an outlet works. The auxiliary spillway may be located on an abutment of the dam or at some location on the reservoir rim, provided that the discharge can be directed safely into an existing water course. The additional discharge capacity provided by an auxiliary spillway may be required for existing reservoirs because hydrometeorological data acquired since construction has resulted in a revised IDF (inflow design flood) larger than the available surcharge space and existing structures can control safely. In the case of new construction, an auxiliary spillway may supplement conventional structures to provide a favorable economic alternative for making required reservoir releases. Constructing a fuse plug across the auxiliary spillway channel will prevent operation of that waterway until specified flood events have been surpassed.

T1  - Limnological effects of artificial aeration at Lake Cachuma, California, 1980-1984.
AN  - 14979690; 1801060
AB  - Lake Cachuma, a water-supply reservoir in southern California, had routinely experienced severe hypolimnetic oxygen depletion during summer stratification. A diffused-air aeration system was installed near the dam outlet in May 1981, to alleviate the water quality problems arising from this anoxia. Surveys to monitor the limnological effects of aeration were begun in April 1980, and continued through September 1984. Results from four seasons of operation (1981-84) showed that aeration weakened, but did not completely destroy thermal stratification.

T1  - GARRISON DIVERSION UNIT, PICK-SLOAN MISSOURI BASIN PROGRAM, NORTH DAKOTA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MARCH 1986).
AN  - 36398841; 1198
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of changes to the land and water resources management plan for 85,460 acres of the 250,000-acre Garrison Diversion Irrigation Unit, a component of the Pick-Sloan Missouri River Basin Program in North Dakota, is proposed in this draft supplement to the draft supplemental environmental impact statement (EIS) of March 1986. The scheme for the 85,460 acres under consideration in the original plan, which include the Lincoln Valley, LaMoure, West Oakes, New Rockford, and Warwick-McVille irrigation areas, would consist of implementation of a wildlife mitigation plan involving land acquisition and other measures to replace areas lost due to structures or diversion of water, installation of a 2,000-cubic-foot outlet in the James River dike to allow evacuation of Lonetree Reservoir water into the James River in the event of an emergency, enlargement of the James River Feeder Canal from a capacity of 450 cubic feet per second (cfs) to a capacity of 1,600 cfs to provide additional emergency evacuation capacity for Lonetree Reservoir via the New Rockford Canal, operation of the Lonetree Reservoir at an elevation of 1,630 feet above mean sea level (MSL) instead of 1,640 feet above MSL as proposed in the FEIS, and construction of facilities to divert surface and irrigation return flows from the New Rockford Irrigation Area to the James River that would otherwise reach the Sheyenne River. The principal changes recommended in this supplemental draft EIS are that the size and location of some of the irrigation areas are changed. The New Rockford Extension Irrigation Area was deleted. The Sykeston Canal would be sized to meet only the water delivery requirements of the irrigation areas and the municipal, rural, and industrial water supply needs of the reformulated project. The capacity of Sykeston Canal would be 875 cfs. The James River Feeder Canal capacity would be limited to 450 cfs. The Kraft Slough and Pickell Slough areas would be acquired and managed as part of the national wildlife refuge system. A municipal, rural, and industrial water cost-share program for the entire state of North Dakota is included in the reformulated Garrison Diversion Unit. A Sheyenne River water supply feature is to be constructed to deliver treated water to the Sheyenne River. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Reformulated Plan has increased the purchase of wetlands by 2,540 acres and increased the restorable wetland acres by 5,380 acres. Mitigation and enhancement requirements would add 11,820 acres of grassland for a total of 61,200 acres of grassland enhancement. The acquisition of 460 acres of woodlands and the planting of 2,660 acres would result in a net increase of 1,190 acres. Acreage of prime farmland would also increase. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The reformulated plan would remove approximately 1,471 acres of woodlands. Total angler use in fishing waters would decrease by 14,800 angler-days annually. Measures taken to prevent catastrophic overflows from the Lonetree Reservoir could result in conditions that could cause extensive flooding along the upper James River and occasional minor flooding in this section of river. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), and Public Law 98-360.

T1  - NORTH DAKOTA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, DUNN AND BOWMAN COUNTIES, NORTH DAKOTA.
AN  - 36400921; 1155
AB  - PURPOSE: Future management options for approximately 67,520 acres of public land and 4.8 million acres of federal mineral estate, primarily in Dunn and Bowman counties, North Dakota, are proposed. Under the preferred alternative, a total of 571,338 acres is acceptable for further consideration for the leasing or exchange of coal. Of these, 161,788 acres have special stipulations. New oil and gas leases on up to 206,117 acres would have special stipulations. Leases on the remaining 254,277 acres would have standard stipulations only. A total of 22,819 acres of public land would be identified for disposal or exchange. An additional 11,844 acres are identified for exchange only. Exchanges would be made to acquire lands within the Big Gumbo and Lost Bridge consolidation areas and lands adjacent to isolated retention tracts. Off-road vehicle (ORV) use on 22,164 acres in the Big Gumbo area would be limited to maintained roads from March 1 to June 1 and open the remainder of the year. All other public lands would be designated open to ORV use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Some long-term ORV recreational opportunities would be maintained. Land adjustment would improve the manageability of public lands, thereby increasing the long-term quality of water resources, wildlife habitat, recreation, and range production. Special oil and gas leasing stipulations would protect key wildlife species and habitats. Unhindered oil and gas development on up to 254,277 acres would continue to provide long-term local employment and severance tax income to the state. Special coal leasing stipulations would ensure restoration of up to 149,470 acres of important wildlife habitats and protect up to 12,318 acres of buried-valley aquifers. Construction of mines and facilities would cause long-term increases in local populations and income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining and facility construction and oil and gas development would cause significant long-term decreases in air quality and could cause short- and long-term losses in the quality and quantity of groundwater. Short-term soil erosion, compaction, instability, and loss of productivity would occur on up to 571,338 acres. A long-term loss of vegetative diversity would occur on areas of native prairie. The mining of up to 16,771 acres of wooded draws would cause long-term losses in wildlife populations. Agricultural production would have a short-term loss on up to 381,000 acres. Some cultural resource sites could be adversely affected. Special stipulations on oil and gas leasing would cause long-term increases in oil and gas development costs on up to 206,117 acres. Hunting and other recreational opportunities would experience a long-term loss of quality on up to 460,394 acres. Visual quality of the landscape would decrease similarly. Disposal of lands would complicate administration of oil and gas leases. The possible disposal of up to 22,819 acres would create a long-term loss of these lands to the public land base. Adjustment would adversely affect up to 183 cultural resources. ORV use would perpetuate long-term soil erosion and compaction problems. Losses of vegetation, wildlife habitat, cultural resources, and disturbance of wildlife would have long-term but minor impacts on 45,356 acres. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - GREAT SENECA HIGHWAY FROM MIDDLEBROOK ROAD TO MARYLAND ROUTE 28, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MARYLAND.
AN  - 15224777; 1173
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of a section of the Great Seneca Highway in central Montgomery County, Maryland is proposed. Under the proposed alternative, a four-lane divided controlled-access highway would be constructed from Middlebrook Road to Maryland Route 28 (MD 28). The total project length would be 7.8 miles. At-grade, signalized intersections would be provided at Middlebrook Road, Clopper Road (MD 117), Longdraft Road, Quince Orchard Road (MD 124), Muddy Branch Road, Key West Avenue (proposed MD 28 relocated), and MD 28. Some unsignalized intersections would also be allowed at major subdivision entrances; however, no access would be provided for individual properties abutting the rights-of-way. The proposed plan has a minimum rights-of-way width of 150 feet. Bridges are proposed at the B&O Railroad, Great Seneca Creek, Long Draught Branch, and Muddy Branch, as well as three major drainage structures. Approximately two miles of the project have already been constructed or are under construction and currently serve as a two-lane access road to residential developments. The estimated cost for the project, in 1983 dollars, is $32.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Much-needed traffic capacity would be provided for current and future development in the area. Peak hour traffic volumes on I-270 and MD 117 would be significantly reduced. Improvement of the level of transportation service and capacity in the area would prevent denial of subdivision approval by zoning authorities in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed plan would require 20.9 acres of parkland, which would be replaced, and the filling of approximately 2.7 acres of wetland, which also would be replaced. One residence would be affected, and three persons would be relocated. Noise levels could increase more than 10 decibels on the A-weighted scale along project roadways; at as many as six sites, noise levels could exceed Federal Highway Administration standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966 (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Federal Aid Highway Act of 1968 (23 U.S.C. 128(a)), and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - NORTH SIDE PUMPING DIVISION EXTENSION, IDAHO AND MINIDOKA PROJECT, IDAHO-WYOMING, MINIDOKA AND JEROME COUNTIES, IDAHO.
AN  - 15226402; 1163
AB  - PURPOSE: Irrigation of some of the dry federal lands adjacent to the Bureau of Reclamation's existing North Side Pumping Division (NSPD), Idaho is proposed to protect and enhance important wildlife habitat and to provide for other minor uses of the remaining undeveloped federal lands in the area. The existing NSPD irrigates 77,000 acres north of Burley, Idaho. The project is operated by the A&B Irrigation District. The Extension lands consist of approximately 17,000 acres of federal land in numerous tracts within or adjacent to the NSPD. The major elements of the recommended plan include the following: (1) Provide irrigation service to 9,400 acres of irrigable drylands that would be sold in small tracts to add to nearby farms of the NSPD. Part of each Extension tract would be managed for wildlife habitat by the new landowners. (2) Improve and manage for wildlife, mainly ring-necked pheasants, 5,590 acres of federal lands scattered throughout the area. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game would manage these lands. (3) Provide replacement water supplies to 810 acres of existing NSPD lands in a localized area with undependable groundwater yields. (4) Provide for other minor uses of the remaining federal lands in the area, including approximately 240 acres that would be sold in small parcels to square up adjacent farms in the A&B Irrigation District and a total of 840 acres that would be set aside for a public golf course and recreation facilities, a future irrigation district headquarters area, and a municipal wastewater disposal area. The construction cost of the extension project would be approximately $14.6 million, with annual operating costs of $252,100. The preferred alternative would have a benefit-to-cost ratio of 1.17. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would provide full irrigation service to 9,400 acres of irrigable extension lands. It includes the protection and enhancement of 3,030 acres of critical wildlife habitat and the protection and enhancement of 1,770 acres of other wildlife habitat to improve its long-range value for wildlife. The quality of vegetation on remaining natural areas also would be improved. The project would create more than 200 acres of new wetlands, which would be managed for wildlife purposes, and would slightly improve control of storm runoff in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The amount and interspersion of various vegetative communities occurring in the project area would change. The diversion of 12,300 acre-feet of water from the Snake River annually would result in slightly greater drawdowns at American Falls and Palisades Reservoir. LEGAL MANDATES: Clean Air Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 7411 et seq.), Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Federal Water Project Recreation Act of 1965, as amended (16 U.S.C. 460 et seq.).

T1  - ARCTIC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, ALASKA, COASTAL PLAIN RESOURCE ASSESSMENT.
AN  - 36398935; 1064
AB  - PURPOSE: The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, comprising more than 19 million acres in the Northern corner of Alaska, is unique and one of the largest units of the National Wildlife Refuge System. The coastal plain portion of the refuge contains a variety of habitats that support fish and wildlife species, such as muskoxen, snow geese, arctic char, and caribou of both Central Arctic and Porcupine herds. The 1.5-million-acre area of the coastal plain has been predicted to contain as much as 29 billion barrels of oil and 64 trillion cubic feet of gas, making it the most outstanding oil and gas frontier area in North America. Because of its enormous hydrocarbon potential and its potential contribution to the vital need for domestic sources of oil and gas, the Department of the Interior (DOI) recommends that the Congress enact legislation making this entire area of the Arctic Refuge available for oil and gas leasing, and to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to impose necessary and appropriate measures to protect refuge resources and values and to ensure coordinated and efficient oil and gas activities. Despite its remote location and hostile environment, the proposed area is the most attractive onshore petroleum exploration target in the United States today. Development of its potential oil and gas resources could make a significant contribution to the economy and security of this Nation and could be done in an environmentally responsible manner. If the Congress authorizes leasing of this area, the program would be designed by DOI to permit leasing first what it considers the most prospective areas. In this way, additional exploration, including off-structure test wells and delineation drilling, could get underway to determine the location and size of any oil and gas reserves on the coastal plain. Authority for administering the leasing program should be vested in DOI, to be exercised through the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). FWS would be delegated primary responsibility for overseeing all aspects of oil and gas exploration, development, and production within Arctic Refuge boundaries that could affect surface resources and values. BLM would use its expertise in mineral leasing and development to assist FWS in administering the leasing program. Competitive lease sales would be held in accordance with a timetable established by BLM, after consultation with FWS regarding environmental considerations. Development of the leases would be designed to avoid or minimize disturbance to wildlife and other resources; produce oil and gas in the most orderly, efficient, and economical manner; and maximize the contribution of the area's oil and gas production to the national need for additional domestic sources of energy. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Leasing this area of the Arctic Refuge coastal plain would provide industry the opportunity to explore for and develop what is believed to be the last onshore area of significant oil and gas potential in the United States. In addition to reducing the dependence on foreign oil, contributions from this area would enhance the national security of the country, produce a more favorable balance of trade by saving $8.1 billion in the year 2005 on the cost of imported oil, and provide overall enhanced economic benefits to the Nation. The contribution of oil from this area could be expected to span over 30 years from the start of production. Based on the mean recoverable value of 3.2 billion barrels, production of oil from the proposed area could account for almost 4 percent of the daily U.S. oil demand and nearly 8 percent of the daily U.S. production. The net national economic benefits expected to accrue from oil production in this area could approximate $14.6 billion (present discounted value). NEGATIVE IMPACTS: If the entire proposed area is leased and subsequently developed, there may be some long-term widespread effects on the area's water resources, Porcupine caribou herd, muskoxen, and wilderness values for at least as long as oil and gas development activities influence the area. Overall, however, most adverse environmental effects would be minimized or eliminated through mitigation. The presence of an infrastructure supporting oil and gas development and a pipeline to transport the oil to the nearby Prudhoe Bay area would eliminate the wilderness character of the area. Industrial development could profoundly affect the native culture. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487).

T1  - HEADWATERS RESOURCE AREA WILDERNESS PLAN, BUTTE DISTRICT, JEFFERSON AND PARK COUNTIES, MONTANA.
AN  - 36400887; 1074
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resources management plan is proposed for 311,337 surface acres and 655,505 acres of federal mineral holdings in the 13.1-million-acre Headwaters Resource Area of the Butte District of Montana. The area extends along the east side of the Continental Divide in west-central Montana, from Yellowstone National Park at the Wyoming state line on the south to the Blackfeet Indian Reservation near the Canadian border on the north. The preferred management scheme would involve oil and gas leasing and developments on 99,700 acres along the Rocky Mountain Front and on 634,607 acres within the overall resource area; reduction of livestock use within 19 grazing allotments and continuation of present livestock use levels on 301 allotments; nonwilderness management within the five wilderness study areas (WSAs) within the area; designation of three of the WSAs containing 11,218 acres as outstanding natural areas; continuation of current forest management measures to allow for a decennial timber yield of 26.4 million board feet; potential disposal of 25,637 acres of public land; withdrawal of 11,587 acres of public land from mineral entry; closure of 77,203 acres of public land to organized motorcycle events; restriction of motorized access within 219,404 acres of public land; designation of 235,896 acres of land for potential transportation corridor development; designation of 25,452 acres of federal mineral reserves for potential leasing; and designation of four areas containing 12,058 acres along the Rocky Mountain Front as outstanding natural areas and 11,609 acres of land in the Sleeping Giant area as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern. Range improvements to be implemented or constructed in association with the management scheme would include 2,560 acres of reseeding, 300 acres of prescribed burning, 62.2 miles of fence, 21 spring developments, 23.5 miles of pipeline, 20 stock tanks, 467.5 acres of noxious weed control, 11 cattleguards, and five other water developments. Range improvements would cost an estimated $449,331. The draft wilderness environmental impact statement (EIS) was incorporated into the draft Headwaters Resource Management Plan of May 1983. This final EIS describes and analyzes the environmental, social, and economic effects of all wilderness versus no wilderness for two WSAs in the Headwaters Resource Area. The study areas are Black Sage (5,926 acres) and Yellowstone River Island (53 acres). The proposed action recommends that both areas not be designated as wilderness. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of exploitable resources, such as oil, gas, coal, and timber, would ensure the continued prosperity of the region and serve the needs of the country. Restrictions on mining and other exploitable uses would prevent undue damage from affecting cultural, recreational, and natural resources within the area. Specific positive resource impacts resulting from the management scheme would include an increase in the mileage of streambank in good condition, an increase in the acreage of rangeland in good and excellent condition, the resolution of land ownership issues, and the improvement of watershed conditions and water quality. Nondesignation of WSAs as wilderness would allow management of resources incompatible with wilderness, such as oil and gas exploration and wildlife enhancement projects. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Livestock use adjustments would result in a reduction of 2,204 animal unit months of forage available to livestock operators; the reduction could lead to economic losses on the part of operators. Oil, gas, and coal development and other exploitative activities would disrupt land and vegetation and degrade associated resources. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements, see 83-0294D, Volume 7, Number 6, and 84-0022F, Volume 8, Number 1, respectively.

T1  - OWYHEE WILDERNESS PLAN AMENDMENT, IDAHO.
AN  - 36399173; 1076
AB  - PURPOSE: Management of five wilderness study areas (WSAs), encompassing 93,610 acres of land within Owyhee County, Idaho, as nonwilderness is proposed. The county is located in the southwestern portion of the state along the Oregon border. The areas that would be designated as nonwilderness include 9,840 acres in the 49,470-acre North Fork Owyhee River WSA, 44,180 acres in the Big Willow (Horsehead) Spring WSA, the Squaw Creek Canyon WSA, the Middle Fork Owyhee River WSA, and the West Fork Red Canyon WSA. Criteria on which the decision to manage the areas as nonwilderness was made were based on issues of concern to the public, manageability of the WSAs as wilderness, relative wilderness values within the WSAs, degree of conflict among competing resource values, and consideration of short-term special stipulations for land treatments within alternative wilderness management proposals. Specifically, wilderness designation for the areas was rejected because (1) portions of the WSAs with the most significant wilderness characteristics could be adequately protected by administratively recognized special recreation management stipulations; (2) the WSAs poorly represent the Sagebrush Steppe ecosystem due to the poor condition of plant communities; and (3) nonwilderness management would allow for the most flexible management of the areas. The management plan for the areas would involve manipulative activities to protect cultural resources, manage forest resources, exchange lands to allow for consolidation of federal and state lands, manage mineral and energy resources, improve wildlife and watershed values, and improve rangeland and recreation values. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The management flexibility provided by nonwilderness designation would allow the areas to be developed for multiple uses, enable land managers to maintain the vegetation in good ecological condition, and improve ranges used by livestock and wildlife. There would be a slight increase in wilderness characteristics after 20 years. Primitive recreation use would increase from 115 to 170 user days per year and semiprimitive use would increase from 235 to 400 user days per year. Personal income, employment, and annual revenues also would increase. Vegetation manipulation would probably create habitat for additional mule deer. Other wildlife, including antelope, sage grouse, waterfowl, riparian species, and fish, would benefit from management activities. Watershed conditions and water yield would improve slightly, and the potential for big game hunting could increase. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Vegetation manipulation activities, such as prescribed burning, would reduce opportunities for solitude and primitive recreation, result in some loss of the apparent naturalness of the areas, and degrade visual aesthetics in many areas.

T1  - WASHAKIE RESOURCE AREA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, PORTIONS OF BIG HORN, HOT SPRINGS, AND WASHAKIE COUNTIES, WYOMING.
AN  - 36403041; 1084
AB  - PURPOSE: A resource management plan for managing approximately 1.23 million surface acres and approximately 1.6 million acres of federal mineral estate administered by the Worland District of the Washakie Resource Area in portions of Big Horn, Hot Springs, and Washakie counties, Wyoming is proposed. The preferred alternative would allow resource use with emphasis on protection of the natural environment. Oil, gas, and tar sands would be leased with the Wyoming Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Standard Stipulations for Surface Disturbing Activities or future modifications of those activities. Existing transportation and utility corridors for roads, pipelines, and power lines would be designated as rights-of-way corridors, which would be the preferred location for existing and future rights-of-way grants. A maximum of 1 million board feet (MMBF) of forest products, including 100 MMBF of fuelwood, posts, and poles, would be harvested from approximately 130 acres annually for approximately 10 years to meet local demand for timber products and to maintain healthy stands of timber. After 10 years, a new allowable cut figure would be developed, based on new inventories. All of the wild horses in the Zimmerman Springs Wild Horse Herd Area would be removed and made available for adoption or would be relocated to a designated Wild Horse Herd Management Area in the Worland District. Authorized livestock grazing use would not exceed 143,000 animal unit months annually on the resource area's 307 allotments until data are available to support adjustments. Approximately 6,700 acres would be closed to vehicular travel to protect karst areas and threatened and endangered species habitat. Prescriptions written for special recreation management areas would include directing recreational use, protecting important resources, and reducing conflicts with other uses. Certain areas would be managed to allow wildlife species to be reintroduced. Future water discharges from mining activities and wastewater treatment facilities into drainages and surface waters would be regulated, as would existing and future discharges of water produced from oil and gas operations. Full suppression of wildfires would occur on approximately 703,700 acres; limited suppression would occur on approximately 530,300 acres. The Honeycombs, Cedar Mountain, Medicine Lodge, and Alkali Creek wilderness study areas (WSAs) are not recommended for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System; the Trapper Creek WSA is considered suitable for inclusion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 99 percent of the federal mineral estate would be available for oil, gas, and tar sands leasing. Removal of wild horse herds would reduce competition with livestock and would reduce damage to range developments, soil, and vegetation. Livestock grazing management would allow improvement of habitat conditions in wetland/riparian areas. Vegetative resources would improve, vegetative diversity would increase, and increased timber harvest would double or triple the amount of wood produced. Implementation of grazing systems would cause long-term improvements in range conditions. Surface water quality would improve, recreation use would increase, and related regional employment could increase by a total of approximately 50 workers in the first five years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Smoke and dust would be expected to increase from more timber slash burning, prescribed burning, and construction of range projects. Increased logging and other activities would tend to remove vegetation and increase soil disturbance, soil loss, compaction, and loss of soil productivity, at least for short periods. The risk of fire would increase. Livestock operators might be forced to reduce their herd size or purchase additional forage. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Multiple Use Sustained Yield Act of 1960 (16 U.S.C. 528 et seq.), and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - ARIZONA INTERCONNECTION PROJECT, ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36394377; 1066
AB  - PURPOSE: The El Paso Electric Company (EPE) proposes to construct, operate, and maintain a single-circuit 345 kilovolt (kV) transmission line between the existing Springerville Switchyard near Springerville, Arizona to the Luna Substation in the vicinity of Deming, New Mexico, a distance of approximately 210 miles. The counties within the study area are Luna, Hidalgo, Sierra, Socorro, Catron, and Grant counties, New Mexico and Greenlee County, Arizona. The line would be constructed using wood H-frame structures approximately 55 feet in height and 800 feet apart. The project would also require equipment additions to the Luna Substation and the Springerville Switchyard. Route C, the Tularosa-North Continental Divide Alternative, is the preferred route. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facilities would reduce oil and gas dependence, provide economical energy to EPE's customers, enhance overall system reliability, and meet the forecasted need for power by providing long-term firm transmission capacity. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would adversely impact access roads, tower sites, and staging areas on soils, springs, vegetation, wildlife, and cultural resources. The transmission line itself would impact scenic resources and land uses and produce electromagnetic and health effects, including corona effects, electric and magnetic field effects, and effects on cardiac pacemakers, agriculture, and public safety.

T1  - NORTHWEST AREA NOXIOUS WEED CONTROL PROGRAM, IDAHO, MONTANA, OREGON, WASHINGTON, AND WYOMING (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT).
AN  - 36400258; 1073
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a noxious weed control program is proposed for Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming. The preferred alternative would involve an integrated program using herbicides and manual and biological methods to treat an estimated 44,014 acres of noxious weeds annually in the project area. Approximately 21,243 acres would be treated with herbicides using helicopter aerial, ground vehicle, and backpack methods of application. Manual treatment on 276 acres would include hand pulling and grubbing with hand tools. Approximately 800 acres would be treated mechanically, using mowing, tilling, and burning. Biological treatment on 21,695 acres would include grazing and the use of insects and pathogens. Herbicides used would include Tordon (picloram), Banvel (dicamba), Round-up (glyphosphate), and 2,4-D. Control programs would be limited to small sections in wilderness study areas and would not occur at all in wilderness areas, except where the weeds threatened outside areas or were spreading uncontrollably within the wilderness. This draft supplement, to be included as Chapter 3 to the final environmental impact statement (FEIS), provides additional discussion on possible impacts to the human environment from the chemical portion of the proposed program. Additionally, chemical hazard assessments of dicamba, 2,4-D, picloram, and glyphosphate are included, along with an assessment of wildlife health effects. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Weed suppression would improve rangeland productivity significantly and would prevent noxious weeds from spreading to noninfested lands. Recreational values would be enhanced by decreasing visitor exposure to the detrimental effects of the weeds. Measures would be taken to identify and protect cultural sites, and wilderness values would be protected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Weed burning would degrade air quality slightly and produce a short-term loss of soil organic matter. Burning and tilling would increase soil erosion, with a consequent slight decline in water quality. Herbicides could affect nontarget vegetation and animal species. No worker fatalities are expected to result from routine use of the herbicides. There is, however, a risk of general systemic effects for workers. LEGAL MANDATES: Carlson-Foley Act of 1968 (P.L. 90-583), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Noxious Weed Act (P.L. 93-629), and Public Rangelands Improvement Act of 1978 (43 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.).

AB  - A series of mineral models are developed to aid those involved in assessing the mineral potential of critical natural resource areas under Bureau of Land Management administration. Each model consists of a set of pertinent geologic features that are consistently associated with specific types of mineralization. The models are arranged according to five basic modes of occurrence: felsic plutonic, submarine volcanic-hosted, vein and replacement (epigenetic), sediment-hosted, and sedimentary. These represent the major mineral deposit types occurring in western United States.

T1  - RANGELAND GRASSHOPPER COOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM: 1987.
AN  - 36401645; 1072
AB  - PURPOSE: Methods of grasshopper control to be used in the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) cooperative programs beginning in 1987 are proposed. The preferred alternative, integrated pest management (IPM), has been developed to incorporate elements of an interagency IPM pilot project, begun in 1986, for long-range programmatic consideration. IPM is the selection, integration, and implementation of pest control tactics in a systems approach on the basis of anticipated economic, ecological, and sociological consequences. Under the preferred alternative, malathion, carbaryl, acephate sprays, carbaryl bait, and Nosema locustae bait would be currently available; research would continue on other chemical and biological methods and on cultural/mechanical methods. Database development, based on survey results, would also be used to enhance APHIS' outbreak prediction capabilities. As methods become operational, APHIS would conduct environmental analyses for consideration in its program. POSITIVE IMPACTS: As improvements in predictive modeling and the early introduction of Nosema help prevent grasshopper outbreaks, adverse impacts on vegetation from grasshopper outbreaks would be greatly reduced. Impacts on wildlife, water resources, and human health would be less than those resulting from chemical control. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Because Nosema is slower acting than other chemicals, some damage to rangeland and nearby crops may occur before grasshopper populations are significantly reduced. The killing of nontarget insect species and secondary impacts on wildlife species that depend on grasshoppers and nontarget effects for food are unavoidable adverse impacts of grasshopper control. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980 (16 U.S.C. 2901 et seq.), and Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, as amended (16 U.S.C. 701 et seq.).

T1  - LANDER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, LANDER, WYOMING.
AN  - 36404510; 1075
AB  - PURPOSE: Future management options for approximately 2.5 million surface acres and 2.7 million acres of federal mineral estate administered by the Bureau of Land Management are proposed. The Lander Resource Area encompasses parts of five counties in west-central Wyoming (most of Fremont, and small portions of Natrona, Sweetwater, Carbon, and Hot Springs counties), but does not include lands managed by the Forest Service or the Bureau of Indian Affairs. When completed, the Lander Resource Management Plan will provide a comprehensive framework for managing and allocating public land and resource uses in the resource area. Under the preferred alternative, the overall theme for management of the oil and gas resources is to make public lands available for leasing to the maximum extent possible, while giving due consideration to the protection of other significant resource values. Less than 1 percent of the more than 2.7 million acres of federal mineral estate within the resource area would be closed to leasing. All but approximately 12,000 acres of the open acreage would be managed under a management prescription that would allow for enhanced management of the oil and gas resources. All federal lands within the resource area would be open to locatable mineral exploration and development unless specifically withdrawn or segregated from appropriation under the mining laws. Under the preferred alternative, that portion of the resource area that would be closed to locatable mineral exploration and development would increase by 30,000 acres to approximately 2 percent of the total federal mineral estate. This plan would allow prospecting, exploration, and development and leasing of phosphate reserves. Improvement of acquatic and riparian habitats for fish, beaver, moose, and many other animals would receive top priority in the South Pass and Beaver Creek Management units, high priority in the Green Mountain Management Unit, and special attention in the Red Canyon Management Unit. Improvement of important big game ranges would receive high priority. Sawtimber volumes offered would be approximately 2 million board feet (MMBF) per year, and minor forest product volumes would be 1.5 to 2.0 MMBF. The primary objective of the harvesting program would be salvaging the dead and dying timber and regenerating the harvested areas. Prescribed burning techniques would be included in management plans for conifer and aspen stands. The preferred alternative would retain the majority of the 2.5 million acres in federal ownership. It appears that 108 tracts, encompassing 13,000 acres, could be considered for future disposal through sale or exchange. Seven existing recreational sites would be managed and maintained. The preferred alternative for approximately 60 percent of the lands is full suppression of wildfires with limited or restricted use of heavy equipment. Present livestock grazing management would continue until monitoring results were available. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Mineral resources would benefit by being available for discovery and development over almost the entire resource area. Large timber harvest would create employment and generate revenues in the short term. Some protection would be offered to a variety of fish and wildlife species. Fourteen cultural properties would be protected through enhanced management. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Oil and gas development would impact soil, watershed, and air quality. Timber harvesting would increase erosion. Off-road vehicle use would result in soil compaction and accelerated wind and water erosion. Habitat losses caused by oil and gas activities could significantly impact several big game herds over the next 60 years. In certain areas, large timber would be depleted in the short term. Increases in access roads could permanently remove land from the forest land base (2.0 to 2.5 acres per mile) in the long term.

T1  - PACIFIC NORTHWEST-PACIFIC SOUTHWEST INTERTIE DEVELOPMENT AND USE.
AN  - 36400736; 1016
AB  - PURPOSE: The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) proposes to increase the capacity of the Pacific Northwest-Pacific Southwest Intertie and to develop a Long Term Intertie Access Policy (Intertie Access Policy or IAP) for the BPA-owned parts of the Intertie. These proposals would enable short- and long-term contractual sales and transfers of surplus federal power and management of other interregional transfers of power over the Pacific Northwest-Pacific Southwest Intertie. Intertie capacity, presently 5,200 megawatts (MW), is being increased to 6,300 MW and may be increased further to approximately 7,900 MW. Access for regional and extraregional entities to BPA's portions of the Intertie is now governed by the Near Term IAP. Intertie access could be regulated by returning to a first-come, first-served approach or by a combination of options. These options include different ways to allocate capacity for transfers of nonfirm power; ways to provide assured access to the Intertie for long-term firm power sales; ways to consider appropriate access for power from new resources; ways to permit or restrict access for hydroelectric resources that may adversely affect BPA's efforts to protect fish and wildlife; and ways to consider allocation of Intertie access for entities outside the Pacific Northwest (PNW) region. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Capacity increases would create decreases in air pollution from reduced gas and oil generation in California and the Inland Southwest. Forced spills at dams would be reduced with mixed effects on fish survival. The option granting BPA first access would slightly decrease PNW air pollution. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Capacity increases would create small increases in air pollution from coal generation in the PNW. The option granting BPA first access would slightly increase air pollution in California compared to other nonfirm allocation options. It would also reduce some fish stock survival rates. Long-term firm contracts would allow some new resource construction to be deferred in both the PNW and California.

T1  - PROPOSED 1985 AMENDMENTS TO THE CALIFORNIA DESERT CONSERVATION AREA PLAN AND THE EASTERN SAN DIEGO COUNTY MASTER FRAMEWORK PLAN, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36397317; 1023
AB  - PURPOSE: The 1985 review of the California Desert Plan and the Eastern San Diego County Management Framework Plan is proposed. Under the preferred alternative 18 of 20 proposed amendments would be accepted and two would be rejected. Amendments fall into several categories, including desert-wide amendments, multiple-use class changes, site-specific vehicle access changes, livestock grazing adjustments, and deletion of wild horse and burro areas. Desert-wide Class C acreage would remain at 1,655,940; Class L would change from 6,259,126 to 6,311,631; Class M would change from 3,365,184 to 3,352,184; Class I would change from 522,610 to 558,240; and unclassified land would change from 314,000 to 239,285. The area southwest of the Superstition Mountains would be designated Multiple Use Class (MUC) L instead of Class I. In addition, the Navy would agree to manage several small parcels of Range Safety Zone (RSZ) A land south of the crest of Superstition Mountain for intensive recreation, even though the parcels would be withdrawn to the Navy. This would incorporate into MUC I the major concentrations of existing recreational use and the majority of lands most frequently used for competitive events. Lands around the Bullhead and Camelot drop zones between the Ancient Dry Lake and Plaster City Open Area would remain unclassified and would be withdrawn to the Navy. Two 40-acre temporary closures would be established to protect sensitive cultural resource values. This closure would be lifted once archaeological values are mitigated. A portion of the Cotton Hills grazing allotment south of Interstate 40 would be recommended for acceptance. The remainder of the Navy lease lands would be designated MUC L. Public lands adjacent to the northeast boundary of the Navy lease area would be reclassified from MUC M to MUC L (3,920 acres). Public lands east of the Ancient Dry Lake along Wheeler Road would be reclassified from MUC M to MUC I. These would include lands used for competitive events and the Imperial Valley Rifle and Pistol Association's lease for a shooting range. Approximately 40,700 acres of unclassified Navy lease lands and 500 acres of Plaster City Open Area lands would be redesignated as limited to approved routes of travel. Competitive events and general public access would be permitted on all approved routes within these limited areas. Areas and trails would be located to minimize damage to resources of the public lands and to prevent impairment of wilderness values. Special attention would be given to protecting endangered or threatened species and their habitats. Approximately 27,800 acres of unclassified Navy lease lands and 1,100 acres of Bureau of Land Management lands along Wheeler Road would be redesignated as open areas. Recreation management in the RSZ B and C areas north and south of the Navy lease lands would remain unchanged. The Cima Dome Herd Management area would not be eliminated. POSITIVE IMPACTS: If vehicle use restrictions are enforced, additional surface impacts would be confined to current levels. Limiting surface disturbance translates into a net increase in the protection of cultural resource values and wildlife, particularly the flat-tailed normal lizard. A positive recognition of off-road vehicle (ORV) recreation opportunities would result. Longstanding ORV use of the Superstition Mountain area would be recognized and made legitimate through designation of 27,780 acres of open area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Several types of adverse impacts would affect cultural resources as a result of the proposed action, including destruction of all or part of a site; isolation from or alteration of the property's surrounding environment; introduction of visual, audible, or atmospheric elements that are out of character with the property; and neglect of a property, resulting in its deterioration or destruction. Military activity would create substantial surface disturbances. Impacts from ORV travel include burial of artifacts and features, destruction of environmental data, and increases in erosion. The archaeological resources and Native American values in the Class I area would be subject to intense impacts and possibly a great loss of integrity. Several types of negative impacts might occur to wildlife as a result of the proposed action, including reduced food base, reduced cover, and reduced sites for nesting and burrowing; individual animals would be crushed and displaced. Noise resulting from vehicle use may impact wildlife. In addition to ORV-related impacts, Naval activities would occur in these areas, including habitat-disturbing activities such as bombing, parachute dropping, use of heavy equipment, use of flares, localized strafing, and cross-country personnel movement.

T1  - LITTLE SNAKE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, MOFFAT, RIO BLANCO, AND ROUTT COUNTIES, COLORADO.
AN  - 36402737; 1024
AB  - PURPOSE: Future options for managing the public lands in the Little Snake Resource Area, located in Moffat, Rio Blanco, and Routt counties in northwest Colorado, are identified and analyzed. The resource area encompasses 3.2 million acres. Under the proposed plan, 6,180 acres of commercial forestland and 38,000 acres of productive operable woodland would be intensively managed. A woodland management plan would be developed for the Diamond Peak/Middle Mountain and Douglas Mountain areas. Approximately 638,800 acres, containing an estimated 5.8 billion tons of coal, would be available for further consideration for leasing. Approximately 1.04 million acres would be open to leasing for gas and oil, with standard lease terms; 685,927 acres would be open with seasonal restrictions; 18,180 acres would be open with avoidance stipulations; 35,840 acres would be open with performance standards (fragile soils); 52,775 acres would be open with no surface occupancy for critical wildlife occupancy; and 36,240 acres would be closed to leasing in the proposed wilderness areas. An anticipated grazing level of 148,821 animal unit months (AUMs) would be allowed. Habitat would be provided to support big game populations of 66,400 mule deer, 6,500 elk, 6,300 pronghorn sheep, and 70 bighorn sheep area-wide. Diamond Breaks and Cross Mountain would be recommended as suitable for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. Four wilderness study areas currently being evaluated are recommended as nonsuitable for wilderness designation, but will be forwarded to Congress for a final decision. These are Ant Hills, Chew Winter Camp, Peterson Draw, and Vale of Tears. Approximately 6,000 acres of commercial forestland and 37,600 acres of productive operable woodland would be intensively managed. Little Yampa/Juniper Canyon would be administered as a special recreation management area. Wild Mountain, Cedar Mountain, and two areas on Cold Spring Mountain would be managed as recreation priority areas. No rights-of-way corridors would be designated; 63,350 acres would be identified as unsuitable for, and 97,465 acres would be designated as sensitive to, routing of major rights-of-way. The remainder of the resource area would be considered open. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Sufficient coal would be available to meet demand. Additional protection would be provided to sensitive plants. Cumulative management of soil, watershed, fire, wilderness, natural history, and off-road vehicle (ORV) designation would have an overall beneficial impact on wildlife habitat. Watershed rehabilitation projects, focusing on salinity control and soil stabilization, would improve soil conditions in some areas. Wilderness resource values would be preserved on 50,321 acres. Remnant plant associations and scenic quality would be protected on 22,530 acres. Beneficial impacts would result to the land adjustment program due to the lack of overall restrictions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: A localized short-term adverse impact would occur to wildlife habitat. Upper Yampa River water quality is expected to be adversely affected during low flows over the long-term. Wilderness resource values would be adversely impacted on 41,766 acres. Remnant plant associations and paleontologic values on 13,835 acres could be damaged or destroyed. Rural and urbanized settings would increase by 270,355 and 59,070 acres, respectively. The open ORV designation could adversely impact 26,503 cultural sites. Nonmotorized settings would decrease by 19,590 acres. Semiprimitive motorized settings would decrease by 277,163 acres. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - EASTERN IDAHO WILDERNESS STUDY, BANNOCK, CARIBOU, BINGHAM, BUTTE, AND BONNEVILLE COUNTIES, IDAHO.
AN  - 36402793; 1027
AB  - PURPOSE: Land management designations are recommended for wilderness study areas (WSAs) containing 134,108 acres in Bannock, Caribou, Bingham, Butte, and Bonneville counties of southeastern Idaho. WSAs under consideration include the 66,200-acre Hell's Half Acre WSA, 15,510-acre Hawley Mountain WSA, 5,400-acre Black Canyon WSA, 35,700-acre Cedar Butte WSA, and 11,298-acre Petticoat Peak WSA. All WSAs are in the Idaho Falls District except the Petticoat Peak WSA, which is in the Burley District. The preferred scheme would involve inclusion of the entire 66,200 acres of Hell's Half Acre WSA in the National Wilderness Preservation System and management of all of the other WSAs as nonwilderness areas. The Big Desert Management Framework Plan (MFP) would be amended to show a suitable recommendation for all of the Hell's Half Acre WSA. The Little Lost-Birch Creek, Big Desert, and Pocatello MFPs would be amended to show Black Canyon, Hawley Mountain, Cedar Butte, and Petticoat Peak WSAs as nonsuitable for wilderness designation. Due to the important archaeological values located within the Black Canyon WSA, a special cultural resource management plan would be developed to identify and prescribe management actions needed to preserve archaeological values. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of wilderness management for the Hell's Half Acre WSA would result in long-term protection of the area's pristine character and mule deer habitat. WSAs not to be included in the National Wilderness Preservation System would be open to development of valuable mineral resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Exploitation of mineral resources within the nondesignated WSAs would result in loss of potential wilderness values and associated wildlife habitat and other natural resources. Potential for mineral development within the Hell's Half Acre WSA would be foregone. LEGAL MANDATES: Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM, PICK-SLOAN MISSOURI BASIN PROGRAM, MILLER, SOUTH DAKOTA.
AN  - 36393991; 1057
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan to irrigate lands between the Missouri and James rivers in South Dakota with water pumped from Lake Oahe on the Missouri River is proposed. The alternative preferred by South Dakota and the sponsors, the Staged Full Development Plan, would irrigate 474,000 acres in two stages. The first stage would irrigate 300,000 acres from 343 miles of main canals and approximately 920 miles of laterals. This stage would include a 5,000-acre test area of Category III nonaquifer lands to be used to indicate irrigatability of nonaquifer lands in the second stage. The second stage of 174,000 acres would depend on a finding of feasibility and certification of irrigatability. A second pumping plant would be required at Lake Oahe for the second stage. The first stage would provide 4,885 acre-feet of water during nonirrigation periods; full development would provide 5,030 acre-feet. Full development would require an average diversion of 692,000 acre-feet from Lake Oahe, four percent of the annual flows of the Missouri River at Pierre. Project return flows would accrue to the James and Missouri rivers. The project preferred by the Bureau of Reclamation, the National Economic Development (NED) Plan, would exclude lands from the project that would require high relift pumping plants or those most expensive to drain. The plan would irrigate 300,000 acres from 356 miles of main canals and approximately 660 miles of laterals and 260 miles of pipelines. The NED Plan could provide 4,885 acre-feet of water from the canal during nonpeak irrigation periods. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed plan would stabilize the farm economy in South Dakota by irrigating lands in Hughes, Hyde, Hand, Faulk, Spink, and Beadle counties in central South Dakota. Positive social effects of increased personal income, increased employment, and a decline in the loss of rural population would outweigh concerns over signed-up lands and the land necessary for wildlife mitigation. Losses to wildlife habitat from construction of project facilities would be mitigated by planting and managing canal rights-of-way for wildlife benefit and by acquiring lands near canals for developing and managing wetlands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The NED Plan and the first stage would cause the loss of 42,480 acres of grasslands, 4,335 acres of woodlands, and 17,065 acres of wetlands. Another 5,990 acres of wetlands would be reduced in habitat value as a result of the project. The second stage would increase grassland losses by 28,090 acres, woodland losses by 1,490 acres, and wetlands by 13,220 acres. Other environmental concerns would include disturbance or destruction of up to 5,000 cultural resource sites, effects on woodland-dependent species until planted trees matured, effects on native grassland-dependent species, and unquantifiable changes in wildlife populations and diversity. Nitrates, heavy metals, and total dissolved solids would increase in the James River. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.); Executive Orders 11593, 11988, and 11990; and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

T1  - CARLSBAD RESOURCE AREA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, EDDY, LEA, AND CHAVES COUNTIES, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36400861; 1031
AB  - PURPOSE: A resource management plan for managing and allocating public land and the federal mineral estate of the Carlsbad Resource Area (CRA) of the Roswell District for the next 5 to 20 years is proposed. The CRA encompasses approximately 2.2 million acres of federal surface and approximately 2.7 million acres of federal minerals, including all of Eddy and Lea counties and southwest Chaves County, New Mexico. The proposal addresses the issues of land tenure, mineral and energy resources, rangeland resources, special management acres, and access. The proposed plan could result in the disposal of 220,700 acres of public lands. Where possible, public lands identified for disposal would be exchanged for nonfederal lands that have been identified for acquisition to support Bureau of Land Management (BLM) resource management programs. Acquisition of 1,080 acres of private and 2,090 acres of state land is proposed. Federal subsurface mineral estate for oil and gas leasing would be increased for a total of 2,117,932 acres. Prospecting permits or leases for sulphur, sodium, and potash within 24 areas covering 90,252 acres would be refused. Approximately 66,000 acres would be closed to mineral material disposal. In addition to the existing 14,249 acres of withdrawals, 11,759 acres would be withdrawn from mineral entry under the 1872 Mining Laws. Special surface disturbance stipulations would protect fragile or erodable soils and sensitive water. Twelve existing allotment management plans would be fully implemented and maintained to improve the vegetation, wildlife habitat, and watershed conditions of the rangeland. In the long term, livestock grazing would increase from 192,000 animal unit months (AUMs) to 225,458 AUMs. A habitat management plan would be implemented for mule deer on approximately 125,000 acres and for pronghorn antelope on 114,500 acres, and would include wildlife management, water development, fence modifications, and prescribed burning. Special management areas (SMAs) will be designated for archaeologic sites, caves, and other educational, scientific, cultural, and recreational features. Legal access rights for the general public would be obtained in four access tracts where additional access is needed; restrictions would be implemented in 22 land tracts. Sixteen areas would be designated as limited for off-road vehicles, increasing the current 19,766 acres to 79,359 acres; a total of 6,269 acres would be designated closed to vehicle use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed split would increase the efficiency and lower the cost of BLM surface management. Land acquisitions would improve public access and resource values of affected public land tracts and would eliminate much of the potential for conflicting use. Overall habitat conditions would improve slightly, and populations would increase. Game bird habitat quality would be improved. Increased intensive management of certain SMAs would greatly enhance the quality of recreation opportunities. Buffer areas around major recreational caves, particularly at McKittrick Hill, would enhance camping, picnicking, sightseeing, and other activities associated with caving in semiprimitive settings. Personal income within the CRA would increase by approximately $407 million for the livestock and other related industry sectors. It is estimated that returns to operators in the livestock sector will increase significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some difficulties with subsurface rights may be created when the surface rights pass from federal ownership. Minimal impact to mineral exploration is expected, except that sulphur exploration would be reduced in the Yeso Hills SMA. Oil and drilling costs are expected to increase by more than $10 million because of directional drilling. Available short-term forage for livestock would be reduced by 24,859 AUMs. 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 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 86-0110D, Volume 10, Number 3.

T1  - DEER CREEK DAM AND RESERVOIR MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLY PROJECT, CONVERSE AND NATRONA COUNTIES, WYOMING.
AN  - 36386106; 1059
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan for the construction of a dam and reservoir on Deer Creek, a tributary of the North Platte River in southeastern Wyoming, to provide a reliable municipal water supply for the city of Casper, Converse County, Wyoming is proposed. The dam would impound a reservoir of approximately 66,000 acre-feet over 1,050 acres of land. Two alternative scenarios are proposed: Scenario 1 assumes that the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's (USBR) North Platte Project would operate as it has historically, with no changes, including deliveries to the Inland Lakes. The Deer Creek project would be allowed to store water only after all senior water rights have been satisfied and after the Inland Lakes have been filled. The Deer Creek project would realize a firm annual yield of 64,000 acre-feet under this scenario. Scenario 2 assumes that the Inland Lakes would have a current-day Wyoming water right and would be allowed to fill from surplus natural flow after all senior water rights, including the Deer Creek project, have been satisfied. Under this scenario, it is assumed that the Inland Lakes would accrue the natural flow of the North Platte River in Wyoming when surplus was available, then from North Platte Project storage, if needed. The Inland Lakes would receive the same amount of water at the same times as they have in the past under this assumption. A firm annual yield of 9,600 acre-feet would be provided by the Deer Creek project under this scenario. The Deer Creek project would involve 1,850 acres of land. Rangelands and free-flowing streams would be converted to a reservoir with adjacent recreation and wildlife management lands. Seven miles of stream fishery would be replaced by a reservoir fishery. A public fishing easement would be provided throughout the six-mile Deer Creek Canyon below the dam. A boat ramp, parking lot, and access roads would be constructed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: An estimated 4,100 visitors and $66,000 in benefits would be drawn from other reservoirs. The project would provide year-round minimum release flows. This would improve the stream habitat downstream from the dam. An estimated 40 acres of wetlands would be created by the presence of the reservoir. A 490-acre tract of land adjacent to the reservoir would be managed for recreation and wildlife. Recreation benefits of $359,000 per year would be realized by the Deer Creek project in the year 2000. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Projected releases and release temperatures may adversely affect trout spawning and survival. More than 1,000 acres of various habitat types would be inundated by the Deer Creek Reservoir. Approximately 120 acres of willow-wet meadow habitats would be flooded. Under Scenario 2, critical habitat of the federally endangered whooping crane, the interior least tern, and threatened piping plover may be affected. Eleven recently discovered cultural resource properties that are potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places would be impacted. There would be an average annual depletion to the North Platte River of 8,760 acre-feet under Scenario 1 and 11,940 acre-feet under Scenario 2.

T1  - NORTH IDAHO MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK PLAN AMENDMENT.
AN  - 36402838; 1028
AB  - PURPOSE: Multiple-use land allocations, including wilderness allocations, are proposed for five Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs), containing a total of 38,468 acres. The WSAs are located in the panhandle of northern Idaho, an area extending from the Canadian border to the Payette National Forest. WSAs under consideration include the 720-acre Selkirk Crest WSA, the 9,027-acre Crystal Lake WSA, the 17,129-acre Grandmother Mountain WSA, the 5,068-acre Snowhole Rapids WSA, and the 5,804-acre Marshall Mountain WSA. The preferred multiple-use allocation scheme for these areas would involve designation of the Selkirk WSA as nonwilderness; designation of the Crystal Lake WSA as an Outstanding Natural Area (ONA); designation of portions of the Grandmother Mountain WSA that are characterized by high wilderness values as ONAs or Research Natural Areas (RNAs); protection of the wilderness values and special features of the Snowhole Rapids WSA without designating the area as a wilderness; and provisions for a diversity of recreational opportunities and continuance of salvage logging and domestic livestock grazing in the Marshall Mountain WSA. Areas within the Grandmother Mountain WSA that are not characterized by high-level wilderness would be allocated for multiple use, including timber management. Special features to be protected in the Snowhole Rapids WSA would include cultural resources and anadromous fish habitat. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Designation of all or portions of WSAs as wilderness, an ONA, or a RNA would protect the ecological and natural values and wildlife habitats within such areas. Multiple-use management of the remaining areas would allow for productive use of timber, range, recreation, and mineral resources located in such areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Areas not designated as wilderness would be subject to development that could degrade wilderness values, wildlife habitat, and ecological values. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - MALHEUR LAKE FLOOD DAMAGE REDUCTION FEASIBILITY STUDY, HARNEY COUNTY, OREGON.
AN  - 36400176; 1055
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a flood damage reduction plan for Malheur Lake in Harney County, Oregon is proposed. Malheur Lake, a terminal lake in a closed drainage basin in southeastern Oregon, has experienced extensive surface elevation increases due to high inflows in recent years. Approximately 100,000 acres have been flooded above the typical historic lake surface area of 40,000 to 60,000 acres. The continued high lake elevation has caused severe economic damage in the region. One structural and two nonstructural alternatives to reduce damages in the current and future flooding cycles have been examined. These alternatives are diversion of water from the lake to the Malheur River, purchase of flooded lands, and relocation of a flooded railroad line. A single preferred plan or course of action is not identified. Rather, the best structural and the best nonstructural plans are identified. The structural plan consists of diversion of water from Malheur Lake to the Malheur River via a 500 cubic feet per second (cfs) canal operated from October through April, with lake target elevation of 4,095 mean sea level (msl), and the purchase of flooded private land below elevation 4,095 msl. The plan incorporates measures to mitigate adverse environmental effects. The nonstructural plan consists of relocation of the flooded portion of the Eastern Oregon Branch of the Union Pacific Railroad and purchase of flooded private land below elevation 4,095 msl. Estimated first costs for the structural and nonstructural plans are $20.9 and $4.6 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the structural plan would prevent approximately 58 percent of flood damages expected in the future without project activity and would provide power benefits from energy generated at existing hydropower facilities at dams on the Snake and Columbia rivers. A key positive aspect is that some benefit would be provided to all damage categories. Because the railroad represents a significant damage category, the nonstructural alternative would prevent approximately 52 percent of future damages expected in the without project condition. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The major disadvantages of the structural plan are related to adverse environmental effects such as erosion of archaeological sites and expected losses to the Malheur River trout fishery. A significant disadvantage is that other damage categories such as roads and highways, utilities, and agricultural lands above 4,095 msl would not be provided protection from current or future flooding. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Executive Order 11990, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1902.

T1  - PROPOSED BAKER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, VALE DISTRICT, OREGON.
AN  - 36397210; 1033
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan for 429,754 acres of public lands in the Baker Resource Area of the Vale District, Vale, Oregon is proposed. The preferred alternative would provide for production of resources and protection of natural values. Forage available for livestock on Section 15 lands would remain at 4,258 animal unit months (AUMs). Riparian zones on Section 15 lands would be prioritized for management, based on their need and potential, and riparian zone management would emphasize cooperative efforts with adjacent federal, state, and private landowners. All forage on 3,700 acres of Section 15 lands within Cooperative Wildlife Management Areas (approximately 350 AUMs) would be allocated to deer and elk. A total of 18,307 acres of public lands would be available for disposal pending site-specific study. Nearly all public lands would remain open for mineral exploration and development. A total of 385 acres (less than one percent) would be recommended for withdrawal from mineral entry. In addition, 18,955 acres (two percent) would be open to oil and gas leasing with a 'no surface occupancy' stipulation. A seasonal oil and gas leasing restriction would apply to 201,720 acres (21.5 percent) due to wildlife considerations. The 10-year sustainable timber harvest level would be approximately 27 million board feet from a commercial forestland base of 25,353 acres. Existing recreation facilities would be maintained or improved, as funding allows, to mitigate damage and sanitary problems associated with increased visitor use. Approximately 139,160 acres of public land would be limited or closed to off-road vehicle (ORV) use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Impacts to soils would decrease slightly. Stream flow would be expected to increase in riparian areas protected from livestock grazing. Over the long term, a slight increase in overall water quality would be expected. Under the preferred alternative, rangeland vegetation diversity and ecological conditions and vigor would remain unchanged for the majority of the area. Wildlife forage and habitat quality would increase. The quality of fish habitat and ultimately fish populations would increase. Fishing and hunting opportunities would also increase. Some increase in visual quality could be expected. Greater protection would be provided for cultural properties that would provide long-term enhancement of important cultural resources, particularly the Oregon Trail. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Smoke from the prescribed burning of slash and prescribed burns to improve wildlife habitat would affect air quality. Continued ORV use would decrease vegetation and, over the long term, would create an almost permanent bare ground condition in the most heavily used areas. Stipulations would occur on oil and gas leasing. Losses in personal income and employment would amount to approximately $20,000 and one job. LEGAL MANDATES: Clean Air Act of 1977, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7411 et seq.), Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), and Taylor Grazing Act of 1934, as amended (43 U.S.C. 315).

T1  - BIG LOST/PAHSIMEROI WILDERNESS, IDAHO.
AN  - 36380035; 1025
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for three wilderness study areas (WSAs) containing 56,830 acres within the Idaho Falls and Salmon districts of Idaho is proposed. The WSAs are located in eastcentral Idaho near the town of Arco. The areas under consideration are the 21,900-acre Appendicitis Hill WSA and the 9,950-acre White Knob Mountains WSA in the Idaho Falls District and the 24,980-acre Burnt Creek WSA in the Salmon District. The final environmental impact statement (EIS) differs from the draft EIS in that the 8,300 acres of the Burnt Creek WSA that had been recommended for wilderness designation are now being recommended for nonwilderness uses. Significant environmental issues that developed during the study process and that were common to all WSAs were impacts on wilderness values, impacts on the development of energy and mineral resources, and impacts on recreational off-road vehicle use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Management of the areas as nonwilderness areas would allow for continued development of grazing, mineral, timber, and water resources within these areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Developments within the WSA lands not designated for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System would disturb the natural character presently existing in portions of these WSA lands. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 83-0523D, Volume 7, Number 10.

T1  - EASTERN SAN DIEGO COUNTY PLANNING UNIT, CALIFORNIA: PRELIMINARY WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS.
AN  - 36393944; 974
AB  - PURPOSE: Determining the suitability of three Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs) in the California Desert District for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System is discussed in this environmental impact statement. These are the San Felipe Hills WSA, the Sawtooth Mountain B WSA, and the Carrizo Gorge WSA. Managing these WSAs as wilderness, partial wilderness, and no wilderness is assessed. All of the WSAs are located within San Diego County, California. The proposed action for the San Felipe Hills WSA is No Wilderness/No Action. Under this proposal, none of the 5,265 acres would be designated wilderness, but would be managed for multiple use. The proposed action for the Sawtooth Mountain B WSA is Partial Wilderness. Under this proposal, 21,926 acres would be designated wilderness; 2,770 acres, located in the eastern and north-central portions of the WSA, would not be designated wilderness, but would be managed for multiple use. The proposed action for the Carrizo Gorge WSA is All Wilderness. Under this proposal, all 14,573 acres would be designated as wilderness, the maximum possible acreage that could be recommended for wilderness designation. In the San Felipe Hills WSA, nonmotorized recreation opportunities on the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which runs the length of the WSA, would be enhanced. With the exception of one-quarter mile of jeep trail, all vehicle routes would be closed and the area would remain limited for off-road vehicle (ORV) use. Existing levels of grazing would continue. In the Sawtooth Mountain B WSA, the present use of the Canebrake and Vallecito grazing allotments would continue. Bighorn sheep would be reintroduced into the Sawtooth Mountains. Approximately 11 miles of cherrystemmed roads and ways would be eliminated in the Canebrake Canyon/Inner Pasture portion, and the area would be closed to recreational vehicle use. Five and one-half miles of roads and ways would be approved for use in the northern Potrero Canyon area and designated as limited to ORV use. Three existing apiaries in the Canebrake Canyon/Inner Pasture portion would be phased out. Those in the Potrero Canyon area would be maintained. The Carrizo Gorge WSA would remain closed to ORV use, and existing vehicular routes would be disc plowed and reseeded. Approximately 2,240 acres of the McCain Valley Allotment are currently grazed on a temporary renewable acre basis and would no longer be available for grazing. Discretionary management actions would be permitted, but only to preserve or enhance the area's wilderness values. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In the San Felipe Hills WSA, fire suppression would be practiced until a resource area fire management plan is completed. Two perennial water sources will be developed, and a 160- to 200-acre burn will be conducted in the southern portion of the WSA in conjunction with the grazing and wildlife management program. Visitor use would increase from 250 to 1,500 visitor use days annually, moderately benefiting primitive or unconfined recreation. In the Sawtooth Mountain B WSA, lands recommended for wilderness designation in the southern Canebrake Canyon area would be managed to enhance opportunities for primitive recreation and solitude. Six miles of hiking/equestrian trails would be constructed to facilitate nonmotorized access. All lands proposed for wilderness would be closed to ORV use. Bighorn sheep would be reintroduced into the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The naturalness and solitude of the San Felipe Hills WSA would be slightly impaired. In those areas designated as wilderness, scientific excavations would be foregone. This would have a moderate adverse impact on the study and interpretation of regional cultural resources. In the Sawtooth Mountain B WSA, commercial apiary use would be foregone. Six 1-acre apiaries would be eliminated. The proposed action would have a moderate negative impact on livestock grazing in the Carrizo Gorge WSA. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final environmental impact statements, see 80-0806D, Volume 4, Number 10, and 81-0093F, Volume 5, Number 2.

T1  - PROPOSED GRAZING MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR THE EASTERN ARIZONA AREA.
AN  - 36386017; 972
AB  - PURPOSE: Future grazing management options for approximately 1 million acres of public lands are proposed. The study involves grazing lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the Phoenix Resource Area, Phoenix District and the Cochise and San Pedro Planning Units of the Safford District. The study area, encompassing 12 counties, consists of approximately 22.54 million acres, of which 1.06 million acres (5 percent) are administered by BLM. The present management program provides 114,019 animal unit months (AUMs) to 336 allotments for grazing use. Long-term targets would be 117,790 AUMs to livestock. The vegetation increases would be distributed on the basis of 40 percent to livestock and wildlife and 60 percent to nonconsumptive uses. Under the preferred alternative, three allotment management plans (AMPs) totalling 59,945 acres would be revised, based on monitoring of resource conditions. Seven AMPs totalling 66,636 acres would be developed following the completion of the environmental impact statement. AMPs would not be developed by BLM for the remaining 326 allotments due to small amounts of public land on these ranches, limited resource conflicts, or no potential for improvement. A total of 18,635 acres would remain unleased. Grazing management systems, including rest rotation; deferred rotation; deferred, seasonal, short duration; or others, would be implemented where needs are identified. On custodial allotments, grazing systems or season of use would be coordinated with the private landowners, State Land Department, or Soil Conservation Service. Land treatments such as land imprinting and seeding, chaining, or prescribed burning might be implemented on approximately 75,000 acres, affecting 12 allotments, to enhance rangeland values, watershed conditions, and wildlife habitat. Fences would be needed to support grazing or land treatments and would be built to allow wildlife movement. Monitoring and surveys would determine whether there is any need to develop new water sources to ensure better livestock distribution and improve wildlife habitat. Stocking additional animals would be allowed in the good ephemeral years where additional but unquantified AUMs of forage are available. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The vegetation resource would benefit. Range conditions would improve on the 10 allotments receiving AMPs and would follow present trends on the remaining 326. Vegetation cover would improve on those allotments as well as on the allotments that would receive land treatments. Protected plants would benefit. On allotments scheduled for AMPs or land treatments, the soils resource would benefit significantly in the long term. Water resources would benefit slightly. Livestock production and distribution would improve. Wildlife, including the mule deer and wild burros, would benefit from increased forage and additional waters. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of range improvements would have an adverse impact by altering the values of undiscovered sites, and increased access could increase the possibility of vandalism. There would be a minor impact on visual resources. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY PIPELINE, WEIR STATION, KERN COUNTY TO SHELL REFINERY AT MARTINEZ, CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36393726; 968
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of a 258-mile heated, buried crude oil pipeline and associated facilities that would transport 120,000 barrels per day of local crude oils from the southern San Joaquin Valley to the Shell Oil refinery in Martinez, Contra Costa County, California is proposed by the San Joaquin Valley Pipe Line Company, an affiliate of Shell Oil Company. The pipeline would extend along the western region of the San Joaquin Valley from the Weir station in Kern County through Kings, Fresno, Merced, Stanislaus, San Joaquin, and Alameda counties to Contra Costa County. The pipeline would be built in four segments, with pipe diameters ranging from 10.75 inches to 18 inches to 24 inches over the length of the route; the pipeline would be buried at a depth of approximately 5 feet. Existing booster and injection station facilities at McKittrick, Kernridge, Mid, Kettleman, and Caliola stations would be used and modified where necessary, and an additional booster station would be built in Fresno County and in Stanislaus County, together with a communication system of microwave relay facilities and an 80,000-barrel storage tank at Mid Station. The proposed route is generally aligned for much of its length within existing utility and transportation corridors; as a result, the project has no impacts that cannot be reduced by mitigation and only a few impacts that remain significant after mitigation. If approved, construction is scheduled for 1987 and 1988. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline would transport approximately 120,000 barrels per day of three types of crude oil to the existing Shell refinery. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: There would be a total land requirement of approximately 1,000 acres for permanent rights-of-way and ancillary facilities. The project would result in localized revegetation problems or failure on slopes steeper than 18 percent (approximately 80 sites). There is a small probability of consequences from an exceptionally strong seismic event that could result in a major spill and spill-related impacts to environmental resources. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.).

T1  - CHALLIS WILDERNESS PLAN AMENDMENT, SALMON DISTRICT, IDAHO.
AN  - 36398538; 1026
AB  - PURPOSE: Three wilderness study areas (WSAs), encompassing 108,180 acres of public land within the Challis Planning Unit of the Salmon District of Idaho, are analyzed to determine their suitability for inclusion in the National Wilderness System. The areas, which lie in the drainage of the East Fork of the Salmon River approximately 25 miles south of the city of Challis, are the 48,500-acre Corral-Horse Basin WSA (WSA 46-11), the 46,150-acre Jerry Peak WSA (WSA 46-14), and the 13,530-acre Jerry Peak West WSA (WSA 46-14a). Under the preferred alternative, none of the 48,500 acres of public lands in the Corral-Horse Basin WSA would be recommended for wilderness designation. These lands would be open for multiple-use management and nonwilderness use and development; 44,595 acres would be designated as open to off-road vehicle (ORV) use. The entire WSA would be open for other recreation activities including hunting, horseback riding, camping, photography, and sightseeing. Several lode claims would be developed. It is assumed that one oil and gas exploratory well would be drilled near the center of the WSA and that 40 percent of the commercial timber (660 acres) would be included in timber sales or commercial thinnings within the next 20 years. The proposed action for Jerry Peak recommends 26,750 acres for wilderness designation and 19,400 acres for nonwilderness uses. Following designation, 26,750 acres would be closed to recreational ORV use, while 19,400 acres would be open to ORV use. The 26,750 acres would be withdrawn from all forms of appropriation under the mining and mineral leasing laws. It is assumed that one oil and gas exploratory well would be drilled in the area designated as wilderness. No timber sales, commercial thinnings, or woodland product sales would occur. None of the 13,530 acres of public land in the Jerry Peak West WSA would be recommended for wilderness designation. These lands would be open for multiple-use management and nonwilderness uses and development. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Designation would restrict or stop development activities and maintain an area's natural condition. If an area is not designated wilderness, all present uses would continue: ORV use, mining, and mineral leasing activities. If an area is designated wilderness, it would ensure the long-term productivity of ecosystems and would maintain or enhance present wilderness values. The proposed action for Corral-Horse Basin would leave 48,500 acres open to mineral entry and leasing. Harvest of 4.9 million board feet (MMBF) of commercial timber could occur, requiring seven miles of new roads. The preferred alternative for Jerry Peak West would open 13,530 acres to mineral entry and leasing. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: ORV use, mining, and mineral leasing activities in those areas not designated wilderness could reduce wilderness values over time. The proposed plan for Corral-Horse Basin would disturb a total of 815 acres. The proposed plan for Jerry Peak would disturb a total of 10 acres, harvest of 11.5 MMBF of timber would be lost, and a potential reduction (less than 1 percent) in the number of salmon and steelhead fry would result. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - CENTRAL UTAH PROJECT, BONNEVILLE UNIT, MUNICIPAL AND INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 1979).
AN  - 36404955; 1011
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of the Municipal and Industrial (M&I) System of the Bonneville Unit in Salt Lake, Utah, Summit, and Wasatch counties, Utah is proposed. The project would include construction of the Jordanelle Reservoir and associated recreational facilities on the Provo River 38 miles upstream of Utah Lake; completion of the 14-mile Alpine Aqueduct, of which 1 mile is under construction; completion of the remaining 23 miles of the 38-mile Jordan Aqueduct; and modification of 15 upper Provo River reservoirs. Design features of the Jordanelle Dam would include a height of 296 feet, a crest length of 3,110 feet and width of 30 feet, and an outlet works with a multilevel intake structure. Power plant construction will be deferred, awaiting nonfederal participation. The outlet works will be designed to accommodate the convenient addition of a power plant at some future date. The potential to produce 10.4 megawatts will remain. At its total capacity of 320,300 acre-feet, the reservoir would have a surface area of 3,068 acres. The Alpine Aqueduct would consist of 5.0- to 7.5-foot concrete pipe buried at a minimum depth of 3 feet and would transport water treated at the Utah Valley Water Purification Plant. A number of feeder pipelines would connect with existing distribution systems. The Jordan Aqueduct would consist of 4.0- to 6.5-foot concrete pipe and would receive water from the Alpine Aqueduct upstream of the Utah Valley Water Purification Plant for treatment at the Jordan Water Purification Plant. As of January 1986, the Jordan and Alpine Aqueducts were approximately 65 percent complete. The purpose of this supplement is to report and evaluate two types of elements: the environmental impacts of proposed modifications to the M&I System plan and impacts or consultations not previously covered. Proposed actions for which analyses or consultations have been conducted include: (1) relocating U.S. Highway 189 along an alignment different from that described in the final environmental impact statement (FEIS), (2) adding a new Wasatch County road; (3) relocating the outlet works of Jordanelle Dam from the right to the left abutment; (4) adjusting the reservoir management boundary and land for project features; (5) modifying the fishery mitigation/recreation plan between the proposed Jordanelle Reservoir and the existing Deer Creek Reservoir by refining Provo River access requirements and eliminating boating and tubing on the river; (6) modifying the wildlife mitigation plan; (7) evaluating impacts to area wetlands; and (8) consultations with the Fish and Wildlife Service regarding the June sucker, a recently listed endangered species. This supplement also provides a brief update of the status of the M&I System. Since filing of the FEIS, some circumstances have changed, some features have been constructed, and progress has been made relative to commitments made in the FEIS. In addition, this supplement provides compliance for the Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit process. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Potential safety hazards would be reduced by the road relocations. Mitigation would be provided for wildlife habitat losses stemming from road location realignments, changes in the reservoir management boundary, and wetland and riparian impacts not previously covered. The project would provide 90,000 acre-feet of water annually for municipal and industrial use in Salt Lake County and northern Utah County. Delivery of 14,100 acre-feet of supplemental irrigation water annually to 22,740 acres of agricultural lands in the Heber and Francis areas would eliminate current late-season water shortages and would reduce excessive early-season applications to these lands, increasing crop production. Stabilization of 12 of the 15 upper Provo River reservoirs would enhance recreational and fishery values in the Wasatch National Forest. Recreational provisions of the reservoir would accommodate 5,160 visitors simultaneously. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The reservoir project would result in the displacement of 38 residences, 3 businesses, 3 farms, and a small cemetery, and the impoundment would inundate 3,500 acres of wildlife habitat, including 630 acres of scarce, high-value streamside riparian habitat. Closure of the existing Olmsted power plant would result in a net loss of energy production and the elimination of 14 jobs. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.).

T1  - CASCADE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, IDAHO.
AN  - 36398990; 935
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan for the Cascade Resource Area (CRA) is proposed. The CRA encompasses approximately 2.77 million acres of land bounded by the Snake River on the south and west, the boundary of the Payette National Forest (as far north as Oxbow Dam and Payette Lake), the boundary of the Boise National Forest to the east, the Mora Canal/Boise River to the south, and the Ada-Canyon County line from the Mora Canal to the Snake River. The public land holdings are located in Ada, Adams, Boise, Canyon, Gem Payette, Valley, and Washington counties in Idaho. The plan focuses on resolving three key issues: range resource management, land tenure adjustment, and management of the Payette River Corridor. Special management concerns also addressed in the plan include access, off-road vehicles, fire management, timber base allocation, and special designations. After a five-year monitoring and adjustment period, livestock use would be stocked at 68,000 Animal Unit Months (AUMs), a three percent increase over current levels, with the 20-year objective of stocking at 70,536 AUMs. Range improvements would include 15 miles of pipeline and 60 miles of fence. Vegetative treatments would be applied on 18,279 acres and would be conducted with methods and seed mixtures of grasses, forbs, and shrubs that benefit both wildlife and livestock. Full fire suppression management would be applied to the entire resource area. The four-mile wild horse herd would be managed to support 20 head at the end of 20 years. Wildlife populations would increase for mule deer, elk, and antelope. Habitat improvement projects would be performed on 23,912 acres. Riparian habitat improvement projects would be initiated along 7 miles and aquatic habitat improvement projects would be initiated along 11 miles of streams. For land tenure adjustment, 17,524 acres would be made available for transfer from federal ownership. Of this, 480 acres would be available for potential agricultural development under the Desert Land Entry program; 563 acres would be made available for sale; 10,107 acres for sale or exchange; and 6,374 acres for exchange only. Eight miles of the South Fork of the Payette River would be recommended for study for possible inclusion into the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Approximately 94 percent of the resource area would be open to leasable mineral exploration and development, and 94 percent would be open to locatable mineral entry. Withdrawals from mineral entry would total 31,185 acres. Special designation and management of cultural resource areas would be applied to nine sites. An allowable cut level would be applied to 26,663 acres of forestland. Cutting would permit a harvest of 1.0 million board feet annually. Limited firewood cutting would continue. Project costs needed to implement the preferred alternative would be $1.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Rangeland conditions would show a long-term improvement on 22 to 27 percent of the area. Improved habitat conditions would support an increased population of elk and mule deer. Candidate and sensitive plants would be protected in Research Natural Areas through management of mineral development, livestock use, rights-of-way, and off-road vehicles. Total crop agricultural earnings and employment would increase by $454,000 and 21 jobs. The initial livestock stocking level would lead to earnings of $7.2 million and 333 jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Broad-based erosion would increase 2 percent over current levels. Fire management costs would increase approximately 3 percent. LEGAL MANDATES: Clean Air Act of 1977, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7411 et seq.), and Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED ALASKAN RADAR SYSTEM, OVER-THE-HORIZON BACKSCATTER RADAR PROGRAM, ELMENDORF AIR FORCE BASE, ALASKA.
AN  - 36393426; 919
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of the Alaskan Radar System (ARS), an Over-the-Horizon Backscatter (OTH-B) radar program that would be located in south-central Alaska, is proposed. OTH-B radar is a surveillance and tracking radar system that the Air force plans to construct and operate at four locations in the United States. The functions of these radar systems are to detect, track, and give early warning of aircraft and cruise missiles approaching North America. The four planned OTH-B systems would establish a surveillance zone around the east, west, and south perimeters of North America. The ARS is needed to complete the perimeter coverage of the western and northwestern approaches. The functional components of the ARS would be geographically separated from one another: different sites would be required for the transmit and receive antennas; the operations center, which would process radar data, would be separate from both of these sites. Three areas in south-central Alaska have been studied for the receive site, and three areas in the same region were studied for the transmit site. Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska is the proposed location of the operations center. The OTH-B transmitters and receivers use very large fixed antennas. The two antenna arrays and related structures at the transmit site would require a minimum of approximately 1,300 acres; the two at the receive site would require a minimum of approximately 1,200 acres. The operations center would be housed in a conventional building of approximately 33,000 square feet. Approximately 70 maintenance and security personnel would be required at the transmit site and approximately 60 at the receive site; approximately 315 operating personnel would be located at the operations center. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Early warning of hostile aircraft approaching North America is critical to the defense of the United States. Significant economic stimulation of local rural economies would result from ARS construction and operation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some possible impacts of the proposed project include: grading and borrow requirements, damage to the permafrost and subsequent damage to the terrain, disruption of salmon spawning beds, disturbance of trumpeter swan nesting areas, and collision of birds with the antenna structure and backscreen. Subsistence activities could be impacted from alteration of game migration patterns and from increased access to subsistence resources. In addition to land for the antenna arrays and associated facilities, the project would require land for access roads, which could be as long as 10 miles; for construction staging areas; and for gravel sources. Land acquisition could be a significant and time-consuming process and could alter existing land use patterns. If the ARS were constructed close to the highway in the Indian Creek study area, the visual impacts might be significant and require mitigation.

T1  - CLEAR LAKE RESOURCE AREA: CEDAR ROUGHS WSA AND ROCKY CREEK-CACHE CREEK WSA, CALIFORNIA - PRELIMINARY WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS.
AN  - 36398251; 931
AB  - PURPOSE: Consideration of the significant issues concerning management of the 7,200-acre Cedar Roughs Wilderness Study Area (WSA) and the 34,000-acre Rocky Creek/Cache Creek WSA of the Clear Lake Resource Area in the Ukiah District of California has resulted in the proposal that neither WSA be designated as wilderness. Both WSAs are within 100 miles of the San Francisco Bay area. All 5,597 acres of public lands in the Cedar Roughs WSA would be recommended as nonsuitable for wilderness designation. These lands would be managed as a Research Natural Area (RNA) in accordance with the existing Management Framework Plan and as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC). The management goal would be protection of the vegetation community for scientific and educational purposes. The administrative protection and management direction for preservation would allow discretionary actions such as prescribed burning and limited vehicular access, so long as they enhance or maintain the objectives of natural area designation. All 33,582 acres of public land in the Rocky Creek/Cache Creek WSA also would be recommended as nonsuitable for wilderness designation. Nearly 16,000 acres of the area have also been designated as ACECs to protect the unique resource values found along the creek corridor and an RNA to set aside an area of pristine California chaparral for research activities. A corridor extending one-half mile on either side of Cache Creek is designed to protect the recreational and scenic values of this whitewater stretch of the creek. Within the corridor, surface disturbance and structures would be prohibited or restricted subject to valid existing rights. Unobtrusive, small-scale developments and activities would be permitted. The remainder of the WSA would be subject to management practices emphasizing resource production, particularly minerals and grazing. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Unique resources within both areas would be preserved, whereas the recreational resources and other resources within the areas would be developed and managed according to need, without the restrictions on management posed by wilderness designation. Beneficial management tactics, such as prescribed burning, would be allowed. Forage would continue to be available for use by livestock. The designation of the Rocky Creek/Cache Creek WSA would also help to protect the quality of the surrounding watersheds and would act as a buffer to resource production occurring throughout other portions of the WSA. The proposal also responds to an opportunity to preserve a cross-section of north coast California chaparral plant communities in a largely pristine condition (the Northern California Chaparral Research Natural Area). NEGATIVE IMPACTS: High costs of compliance to management regulations would limit mining claims and water resources development in the Rocky Creek/Cache Creek WSA, and regulations could increase the cost of fire management in the area. Solitude opportunities could decline, and the naturalness of some areas could be degraded. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 82-0496D, Volume 6, Number 8.

T1  - SEQUOIA-KINGS CANYON NATIONAL PARKS, GRANT GROVE/REDWOOD MOUNTAIN, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36394162; 953
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan for the design of overnight lodging facilities and related commercial services in Grant Grove Village in Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Parks is proposed. The preferred alternative recommends expanding lodging units in the village from 52 to 91 to accommodate projected increases in overnight use. All of the new units would include private baths, winterizing features, and other amenities, and two-thirds of them would be in split-level or motel-type structures to allow for group use. The low-profile character of existing developments would be maintained. Commercial facilities in the village would be relocated to two sites north of Grant Grove Meadow to eliminate existing visual intrusions, reduce congestion in the visitor center area, and facilitate overall use. Other actions would include consolidation and upgrading of National Park Service (NPS) and concessioner housing; expansion of NPS administrative and maintenance space; improve access and circulation at the Big Stump entrance station, the Y intersection with Generals Highway, Grant Grove Village, and Panoramic Point; and improvement of the access road and facilities at Redwood Mountain. The total estimated costs would be $3.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: There would be a 75-percent increase in overnight lodging. Effects of the action would include restoration of Grant Grove Meadow, improved access, and reduced congestion and safety hazards. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would involve soil and vegetation disturbance and the removal of some mature conifers during construction. These effects, plus the expansion of overnight lodging, would alter the appearance of Grant Grove Village. Water consumption would increase with increased use of overnight accommodations.

T1  - PROPOSED CORONADO NATIONAL FOREST LAND AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36385509; 937
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for the 1.7-million-acre Coronado National Forest in Arizona and New Mexico is proposed. The national forest is composed of 12 blocks of land scattered across southeastern Arizona and a small portion of southwestern New Mexico. Specifically, the forest lies in Pima, Santa Cruz, Pinal, Cochise, and Graham counties in Arizona and Hidalgo County in New Mexico. Contiguous wilderness study areas (WSAs) under the administration of the Bureau of Land Management are located in Cochise, Graham, and Hidalgo counties. Overall, the area lies at the confluence of the Rocky Mountains and Sierra Madres and the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts. The preferred management scheme would provide for a mix of resource outputs, with an emphasis on grazing and fuelwood harvest, while allowing for a moderate development of recreational opportunities and wildlife habitat. Specifically, the plan would provide for intensive livestock grazing management, inclusion of one additional WSA in the National Wilderness Preservation System, designation of the South Fork of Cave Creek and other areas as zoological/botanical areas, implementation of a moderate wildlife and fishery habitat improvement program, and development of an erosion and sedimentation control scheme. Other areas addressed in the plan would include use of prescribed fire, land acquisition and exchange, management of natural resource areas, maintenance of transportation and utility corridors, transference of water rights, and watershed management. The plan would also involve construction and maintenance of forest roads and trails. The present net value of the plan is $717.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Management of the forest under the preferred scheme would result in a moderate increase in developed recreation sites, maintenance of off-road travel opportunities at approximately the existing level, an increase in the amount of land designated as wilderness, maintenance of present habitat levels for some species and improvement of levels for other species, a balance between forage and livestock use, creation of extremely vigorous timber stands, improvement of watershed conditions over the next 50 years, and maintenance of the existing socioeconomic patterns of forest communities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Prescribed burning, road and trail maintenance, and other management and exploitative activities would disturb soils and associated vegetative and animal species. LEGAL MANDATES: National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and revised draft environmental impact statements, see 83-0011D, Volume 7, Number 1, and 85-0304D, Volume 9, Number 7, respectively.

T1  - Historic Resources Related to Construction Activities at Elephant Butte Reservoir
AN  - 19019995; 8705323
AB  - The original construction of the Elephant Butte Reservoir was completed in 1916. Construction of additional facilities associated with the reservoir has been carried on intermittently since that time with much activity during the depression era. Recent Bureau of Reclamation cultural resource investigations have concentrated on the historic resources which relate to these early construction activities. This report takes an inventory of historic construction related sites, briefly reviews the historic construction activities and related sites at Elephant Butte Reservoir, discusses recent cultural resource investigations of construction related sites, and presents some management recommendations to aid in recognizing resources which might be altered by modern operation and maintenance activities.

T1  - WOLF RIDGE CORPORATION MINE PLAN FOR A NAHCOLITE SOLUTION MINE WITHIN THE PICEANCE BASIN IN RIO BLANCO COUNTY, COLORADO.
AN  - 36393401; 880
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan by the Wolf Ridge Corporation (WRC) for a 30-year 125,000 tons per year (tpy) nahcolite solution mine on existing leases held by WRC in the Piceance Basin, Rio Blanco County, Colorado is proposed. WRC proposes to construct and operate a commercial-scale nahcolite solution mine to produce sodium bicarbonate. The plan would involve phased-approach development, with initial production of 50,000 tpy, increasing in the second or third year of operation to 125,000 tpy. Also involved would be the expansion of the approved pilot project well field and plant site, paving of the access road into the plant site (affecting up to 215 additional acres), construction of additional evaporation ponds (affecting up to 22 additional acres), construction of a natural gas pipeline into the plant site (involving 17 acres), and addition of a warehouse/rail loading facility at Lacy Station in Rifle, Colorado. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The product, sodium bicarbonate, would be produced by mining nahcolite (naturally occurring sodium bicarbonate). Currently, all sodium bicarbonate produced in the world is synthetically manufactured. WRC officials believe that they can produce the lowest cost sodium bicarbonate through solution mining. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The only potentially significant adverse impacts associated with this alternative would be to local groundwater quantity and quality. There would be a 5 percent reduction in average daily flow from Yellow Creek, and this could be mitigated through a state-required water augmentation plan. The area at the base of the lower aquifer in contact with salts would increase by approximately 20 percent within the lease tracts. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), and Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 300(f) et seq.).

T1  - UMATILLA BASIN PROJECT, UMATILLA AND MORROW COUNTIES, OREGON.
AN  - 36379763; 915
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan to improve Umatilla River stream flows, fish passage, and screen conditions at existing irrigation diversions, helping to restore salmon and steelhead runs in the Umatilla River basin, is proposed. A major pumping station of the Columbia River (Lake Wallula) would pump water into existing Cold Springs Reservoir for distribution to irrigators. Umatilla River water now diverted or stored for irrigation would remain in the Umatilla River to improve flow conditions in the lower basin. Other features include a refit pumping station, carriage facilities, and a new West Extension Irrigation District pumping facility. In addition to the Columbia River pumping complex and West Extension Irrigation District pumping facilities, improvements would be made to fish passage facilities and protective screens installed at some existing irrigation diversions. A fish barrier would be placed at the mouth of McKay Creek to control salmon and steelhead migration and spawning in that stream. A postconstruction monitoring program would fine-tune flow improvements and other measures to maximize their effectiveness. Annual costs associated with operation and maintenance of project facilities and establishment of a replacement fund are estimated at $164,700, and the annual cost of transporting power over nonfederal facilities from a federal power source to project pumping facilities is estimated at $152,200, for total costs of $316,900. Annual benefits exceed costs by approximately $3.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would improve flows in the Umatilla River and provide adequate and safe fish passage facilities. These measures would restore salmon and steelhead runs to desirable levels and meet Indian fishery goals for the basin. Irrigators would receive a water supply at least equal to their present supply, and other irrigation system improvements to conserve water and reduce operating costs might be possible. The major contribution of the plan is to enhance main stem Umatilla River flow conditions during the critical fall months (mid-September through mid-November). The plan would significantly contribute to irrigation in Umatilla County by removing the threat of litigation and solidifying water supplies for many Umatilla irrigators. The recommended alternative would help make the Umatilla basin a viable homeland for the Umatilla Indians by restoring a salmon fishery, and would preserve an existing agricultural economy by alleviating the threat of irrigation water loss. The recommended plan would promote the conservation of the bald eagle, since enhanced fisheries would provide a substantial increase of an available food source. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Localized temporary water quality impacts would occur with construction of the Columbia River pumping plant and fish passage modifications. Construction of the Columbia-Cold Springs canal would result in a loss of irrigated farmland. An estimated 3.7 acres of land would be needed for pumping plant facilities. It is estimated that canal construction would eliminate approximately 130 acres of irrigated cropland and approximately 40 acres of native rangeland. There would be temporary and short-term increases in noise levels in construction areas and short-term reductions in water quality during construction. Construction of the pumping plant could temporarily reduce the recreational enjoyment of people using the Stand Station Campground. Annual pumping power requirements would add an additional average powerload to the Federal Columbia River Power System of approximately 25,620 megawatt-hours.

T1  - PROPOSED LEMHI RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, LEMHI COUNTY, IDAHO.
AN  - 36402375; 886
AB  - PURPOSE: Plans for managing 459,566 acres of land in the Lemhi Resource Area of the Salmon District of Idaho over the next 15 to 20 years are proposed. The preferred alternative would consider 4,495 acres for transfer from federal ownership through public sales or exchanges. An additional 1,340 acres would be considered for transfer under the Desert Land Act. An attempt would be made to acquire 5,600 acres primarily through exchange. A total of 161,909 acres would be open for oil and gas leasing with standard stipulation, 221,519 acres with seasonal occupancy restriction, and 77,369 acres with no-surface-occupancy restrictions. Approximately 14,796 acres would be closed to oil and gas leasing, and 15,596 acres would be closed to geothermal leasing. Some 92,165 acres would be closed to solid mineral leasing. A total of 455,434 acres would be open for location of mining claims, while 18,821 acres would be closed to mineral entry. Mineral sales could not occur on 92,010 acres, but the remaining 382,888 acres would be open to material sales. Approximately 28,865 acres of public forestland would be open to commercial harvest. Livestock management would provide 43,602 animal unit months (AUMs) of livestock forage. Game populations of 9,350 deer, 2,194 elk, 2,950 antelope, and 200 bighorn sheep would use 6,466 AUMs of forage. Six habitat management plans would be developed on 260,056 acres. A total of 15.5 miles of riparian area would be fenced, and four watershed activity plans would be written. Recreation would be recognized as the principal use of the lands in the three special recreation management areas. Off-road vehicle use would continue to be limited during winter months on 16,230 acres of big game range. A year-round closure to all vehicle use would be placed on the 14,796 acres recommended as suitable for wilderness designation. Full suppression fire management guidelines would be followed on 444,770 acres. Prescribed burns would be conducted on 30,078 acres, and heavy fuel loading caused by logging debris and dead trees would be reduced on 10,000 acres to decrease the likelihood of fire. Cultural resource management plans would be written for the Chief Tendoy Cemetery, Lewis and Clark Trail, Salmon River Corridor, Indian Area A, and Indian Area B. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Ecological range conditions would improve moderately. Livestock AUMs would show a minor increase. Wildlife habitat would show a slight increase. A major increase in recreational opportunities would occur. Wilderness values would be protected on 14,796 acres. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Commercial forestland available for management would decrease. A slight decline in watershed conditions would occur because of timber harvesting. Adverse impacts on the availability of lands for exploration and development of solid and fluid leasable minerals would be slight. There would be a slight impact on timber yield and on the availability of commercial forestlands. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - WEST VALLEY HIGHWAY, 9000 SOUTH TO 2100 SOUTH, SALT LAKE COUNTY, UTAH.
AN  - 36396698; 897
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of 10 miles of limited-access, four-lane highway through Salt Lake Valley in Salt Lake County, Utah is proposed. The project, to be known as the West Valley Highway, would traverse a reserved alignment from 9000 South to 2100 South through the communities of West Jordan, Bennion, Taylorsville, and West Valley City. The highway would have a median not less than 14 feet wide and rights-of-way varying from 104 to 140 feet wide. Access to the facility would be controlled via interchanges and grade-separation structures, although some at-grade intersections would be permitted. Construction and rights-of-way costs are estimated at $14.4 million and $7.2 million, respectively. In addition, the improvements necessary on the other streets are estimated at $2.3 million, for a total cost of the preferred alternative of $23.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Availability of the highway within the corridor would increase the accessibility of adjacent land areas, supporting development trends in these areas. Traffic congestion on parallel streets in the area would be decreased and, as a result, noise levels and air pollution concentrations at intersections would be decreased. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of 180 acres of land would result in the loss of 48 acres of prime farmland and relocation of three housing units. Two school attendance areas would be bisected, and Dixie Valley Park and Southridge Park would lie adjacent to the alignment, increasing ambient noise in the vicinity of the facilities. Noise levels along the corridor would increase an average of eight decibels from 61 to 69. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Aid Highway Act of 1968 (23 U.S.C. 128(a)) and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 84-0137D, Volume 8, Number 3.

T1  - BUFFALO RESOURCE AREA, CASPAR DISTRICT, CAMPBELL, JOHNSON, AND SHERIDAN COUNTIES, WYOMING.
AN  - 36396749; 890
AB  - PURPOSE: Designation of 28,931 acres of public land as wilderness in three wilderness study areas (WSAs), Gardner Mountain, North Fork of Powder River, and Fortification Creek, located in Johnson, Sheridan, and Campbell counties, Wyoming, is proposed. Three alternatives were analyzed for each of the three WSAs in the draft of this document, which was an appendix to the second draft resource management plan/environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Buffalo Resource Area. Under the preferred alternative for Gardner Mountain and North Fork WSAs, no acreage would be recommended for wilderness designation and multiple use management would continue. Under the preferred alternative for the Fortification Creek WSA, no acreage would be recommended for wilderness designation and multiple use management would continue under the direction of the Buffalo Resource Management Plan. Mineral leasing would continue as would other existing uses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In the Gardner Mountain and North Fork WSAs, public access would increase visitation fivefold to 2,500 visitor days per year in each WSA. Recreation quality would remain high. The Fortification Creek WSA has high potential for the discovery of oil and gas and has some small amount of coal reserves; under the preferred alternative all 12,419 acres would be available for oil and gas leasing, and all oil and gas resources could be developed, with an estimated total of 100,000 to 4.4 million barrels of oil possible. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values in the Gardner Mountain and North Fork WSAs would not be protected over the long term and would be adversely affected on a portion of the WSAs by a potential future timber harvest in each WSA. Wildlife would be temporarily displaced from such areas. In the Fortification Creek WSA, all wilderness values would be lost. Noise and activities such as construction of roads, well pads, and pipelines would severely impair wilderness values, visual resources, and wildlife habitat. Wildlife numbers and recreational values would decrease. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED LEASE OF LANDS FOR SAN XAVIER PLANNED COMMUNITY, PIMA COUNTY, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36398889; 900
AB  - PURPOSE: Environmental consequences of the approval by the Secretary of the Interior of a lease of portions of trust lands of the San Xavier District of the Tohono O'Odham Nation (Papago) Indian Reservation in Pima County, Arizona are analyzed. The proposed lease is for 65 years, with a 25-year option, and covers approximately 18,000 acres. A planned community development for 100,000 persons would be built on the leased lands, with payments to approximately 750 individual Indian owners, the San Xavier District, and the Tohono O'Odham Nation. The planned community, to be constructed over a 23-year period in six phases, would be a residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and governmental development. The built environment would occupy 16,349 acres. The remaining 2,380 acres of the leased land would remain open space, of which, more than 2,100 acres would be maintained as undeveloped land. A small telecommunications facility would be built on a discontiguous parcel of open space with limited access. A total of 39,478 dwelling units would be constructed, comprising 958 units of 2 residences per acre (RAC), 10,160 units of 5 RAC, 2,526 units of 6 RAC, 16,624 units of 8 RAC, and 9,210 units of 15 RAC. There would be 1,408 acres for industrial land use, with light industry and corporate parks occupying 697 and 711 acres, respectively. Commercial land uses would include 714 acres for retail, 477 acres for a golf course, 104 acres for a golf course resort hotel, 101 acres for a regional center, and 592 acres for service activities. Approximately 690 acres would be provided for 29 school sites, and 62 acres would be designated for a government center. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Use of treated wastewater would provide the community with 10,400 acre-feet of water per year for irrigation and other nonpotable uses. Rental and fee payments would be made to the Tohono O'Odham Nation, the San Xavier District governments, and individual allottees. Employment opportunities and job training programs would be available to Tohono O'Odham members. Housing, retail, and service opportunities would be afforded tribal members in the community. The planned community would generate an estimated 62,231 jobs by year 2009. Annual lease payments to all lessors at the end of the construction period are estimated at $35.3 million and would increase thereafter. The annual excess of tax and fee revenues over costs paid to the government of the Tohono O'Odham Nation at the end of the construction period is estimated at $40.8 million and would increase thereafter. Cumulative lease payments to the year 2009 are estimated at $330 million, and tax and fee payments at $482.5 million, for a total of $812.5 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 13,902 acres of bajada would be developed. The project would lead to increased surface water runoff from impervious surfaces, with ensuing potential erosion hazards; adverse effects on archaeological and biotic resources; and potential increases in turbidity and sediments in surface flows. Approximately 375 tons of solid waste would be generated per day. Most of the natural vegetation would be eliminated from the alluvial and floodplains, except on the preserved lands. Populations of four sensitive plants, including one listed endangered species, would be directly impacted. The major wildlife corridors would be less suitable for the movement of large animals. Light pollution would have an impact on Kitt Park and Mount Hopkins. Average daily traffic volume would reach 675,150 automobiles on the roads within the project. Conflicts may develop between the Community Association and the tribal governments. To reduce or avoid adverse environmental impacts, a variety of mitigation measures would be implemented as part of the proposed action. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

T1  - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE ELKO PLANNING AREA, ELKO, NEVADA.
AN  - 36402272; 846
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan for approximately 3.1 million acres of the Elko Resource Area in the western half of Elko County and the northern portions of Lander and Eureka counties, Nevada is proposed. The preferred management plan would be directed toward improving rangeland vegetative conditions, expanding livestock grazing opportunities, providing habitat for additional big game, meeting a variety of recreational needs, and providing for mineral development. Specifically, up to 5,900 acres of public land would be made available for community expansion, 8,340 acres for sale, and 243,200 acres for exchange. Three Special Recreation Management Areas (SRMAs) would be maintained: South Fork Owyhee River, Wilson Reservoir, and Zunino/Jiggs Reservoir. South Fork Humboldt River, consisting of 3,360 acres, and Wildhorse, consisting of 5,760 acres, would be designated as SRMAs. A total of 36,460 acres in the Rough Hills Wilderness Study Area (WSA) and Little Humboldt River WSA would be recommended as suitable for wilderness designation. Wildlife habitat would be managed for reasonable numbers of big game. Woodland areas would be intensively managed on 23,000 acres for Christmas tree harvest, and 60,000 acres would be managed for fuelwood and post harvest. Livestock use would be authorized at the existing level initially, increasing 30 percent over the long term to 402,096 Animal Unit Months (AUMs) if supported by monitoring. The wild horse population would be maintained at 330 animals. The resource area would be designated open for locatable minerals except for 50,096 acres (1.8 percent of the area). Legal access would be acquired for 60 roads, totaling 242 miles. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Management measures would protect wilderness values on 1 percent of the planning area. Habitat to support reasonable numbers of big game would be provided over the long term. Fish habitat would be improved on 106 miles of stream. Opportunities for recreation would be increased. Increases in hunter and angler days would significantly benefit the area economy. Harvest levels of woodland products would increase on 60,000 acres. The trend of stand conditions would improve. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Potential land sales could cause livestock losses of up to 93 AUMs. Wilderness designation of 36,460 acres may result in restricted vehicle use, which would limit livestock management opportunities. Some stream habitat would decline over the long term due to grazing and mining. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 85-0408D, Volume 9, Number 9.

T1  - PROPOSED OPERATING CRITERIA AND PROCEDURES FOR THE NEWLANDS PROJECT, LOWER CARSON RIVER BASIN, NEVADA.
AN  - 36400364; 867
AB  - PURPOSE: The adoption of Operating Criteria and Procedures (OCAP) for the Newlands Project in the lower Carson River Basin near Fallon in western Nevada is proposed for 1987 and future years. The Newlands Project service area consists of approximately 73,860 acres of land that are entitled to receive irrigation water supplied to Newlands Project lands from the Truckee and Carson rivers. The OCAP consist of criteria to define the amount of water that the Newlands Project may receive (total diversions) and the timing of diversions from the Carson and Truckee rivers to meet Newlands Project demands. The proposed action would set a maximum allowable diversion that would be different for every year, with expected future ranges between 327,000 acre-feet (AF) and 367,000 AF per year. In addition to the maximum allowable diversion, water may be necessary to meet decreed entitlements; however, total project usage is expected to stay within the 327,000 to 367,000 AF per year range. Mitigation measures include increasing the monitoring of the flow quantity and quality to and through the Newlands Project area to improve Newlands Project and wetlands management; continuing to enhance fisheries resources in the river system, including additional research regarding factors controlling spawning and survival success; and periodically reviewing and updating OCAP diversion criteria to reflect better understanding of the water resource system and changes occurring in other areas that could affect the flow and quantity of water available to the Newlands Project and Pyramid Lake. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Beneficial effects of the proposed alternative include higher flows to Pyramid Lake, resulting in improved habitat and water quality for cui-ui spawning; reduced shortages to the Newlands Project; an unquantified effect on fish and wildlife in the Newlands Project area reservoirs and wetlands; and an unquantified effect on Newlands Project production due to water conservation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Significant adverse effects of the proposed alternative include a potential reduction in average contents of the Stampede Reservoir, which can decrease recreation; elimination of water supply to nonwater-righted land and resulting potential economic loss; and a reduction in flow to Lahontan Valley wetlands, which can lead to the loss of wetland acreage or reduced productivity of present acreage. Reductions of wetland acres would reduce waterfowl productivity. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, as amended (16 U.S.C. 701 et seq.).

T1  - PRELIMINARY WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS, ARCATA RESOURCE AREA, EDEN VALLEY AND THATCHER RIDGE WILDERNESS STUDY AREAS, UKIAH DISTRICT, MENDOCINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36393131; 841
AB  - PURPOSE: Determining the suitability of two Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs) in the Ukiah District, Mendocino County, California for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System is under consideration. The two areas are the Eden Valley WSA and the Thatcher Ridge WSA. Both WSAs are located approximately 160 miles north of San Francisco and within Mendocino County, California. The proposed action for the Eden Valley WSA is No Wilderness/No Action. Under this proposal, none of the 6,674 acres would be designated wilderness, but would continue to be managed for multiple use. The proposed action for the Thatcher Ridge WSA is also No Wilderness/No Action. Under this proposal, none of the 17,187 acres comprising the WSA would be designated wilderness, but would continue to be managed for multiple use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In the Eden Valley WSA, long-term wilderness values would be enhanced, improving bald eagle and peregrine falcon foraging areas and increasing visitor dispersion and opportunities for solitude or unconfined recreation. In the Thatcher Ridge WSA, tree plantings on 200 acres of the WSA would return natural fire-denuded areas to a natural vegetation pattern. Commercial cutting on 670 acres would occur with other management actions that would have a beneficial impact on the area's forest resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: In the Eden Valley WSA, there would be only very minor impacts on the wilderness values of naturalness, solitude, and primitive or unconfined recreation (on less than five percent of the WSA). Fire suppression and prescribed burns would have a localized short-term impact on the wilderness values. Off-road vehicle (ORV) use and full fire suppression with mechanized equipment would have a slight adverse impact on sensitive plant species. Natural restrictions and use restrictions imposed following the field inventory of the sensitive plant species and habitat would mitigate any adverse impacts. In the Thatcher Ridge WSA, the presence of ORVs and the 11 miles of existing jeep roads and firebreaks would impair the perception of naturalness on 400 to 500 acres of the WSA. Harvesting of the area's 5 million board feet of trees on 670 acres over two years would further impair these values. Prescribed burning would have some very minor short-term visual impacts. There would be a very minor impact on the riparian habitat along the Middle Fork of the Eel River, and a very minor, short-term impact on the area's anadromous fish spawning.

T1  - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE SAN JUAN RESOURCE AREA, MOAB DISTRICT, SAN JUAN COUNTY, UTAH.
AN  - 36398789; 849
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan for 1.8 million acres of the San Juan Resource Area in the Moab District, San Juan County, Utah is proposed. The goal of the preferred alternative is to manage public lands for multiple use of public resources, so long as grazing is maintained at existing levels; certain primitive recreation opportunities, certain wildlife habitats, and watersheds are protected; and mineral uses are allowed to increase. Stocking levels of livestock would be maintained on existing allotments. Livestock use would be excluded to protect wildlife habitats (riparian areas along upper Indian Creek and Cajan Pond and bighorn sheep habitat on five mesa tops), and the season of use would be changed, where needed, for better range management. Special designations or protection would be placed on Instant Study Areas and portions of some Wilderness Study Areas to recognize or preserve primitive recreation opportunities or natural resource values. Surface disturbance of vegetation would be allowed in some Recreation Opportunity Spectrum (ROS) primitive (P) class areas where it would be consistent with existing recreational opportunities; surface disturbance would be reclaimed in certain semiprimitive nonmotorized class areas. Native species would be used for revegetation in these areas to preserve natural settings. Recreational use would be allowed to increase and additional recreation sites would be developed. Certain ROS P class areas would be closed to off-road vehicle (ORV) use, and ORV use would be limited to existing roads and trails. Other areas would be designated as open to ORVs unless limited use is necessary to protect other natural resource values. Watershed values would be preserved through protection of certain soils, and public lands would be available for the production of mineral resources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Surface disturbance would be minimized on 251,980 acres. Seasonal restrictions would protect wildlife habitat. The area available for gas and oil leasing would increase, and the annual production rates of oil and gas show a slight but unquantified increase. The rate of soil loss would decrease to approximately 581,975 tons per year. Surface water quality would improve, sediment yield would decline, and wildlife habitat would increase. The number of cultural sites damaged would decrease, and the number of sites protected would increase. Sediment- and salinity-related costs would decrease by $2,600 and $5,200, respectively. Recreational and wildlife use and related local employment and income should increase. Implementation of this plan would generate six jobs and $115,000 in income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The restrictions imposed on geophysical operations would result in a long-term decrease in new field discoveries and subsequent production. Short-term loss of vegetation would increase by 5,400 acres to 44,800 acres. The area available for forest product use would decrease, and the area available for private and commercial fuelwood and forest product harvests would decrease to 361,110 acres. The area available for grazing would decrease, and livestock forage would increase to 57,102 animal unit months. Livestock-related local employment would be reduced, tax revenues would be reduced, and total rancher wealth would be reduced by $1.5 million.

T1  - CONSTRUCTION OF A GRAVEL ROAD BETWEEN EGIN AND HAMER IN THE MEDICINE LODGE RESOURCE AREA, FREMONT, JEFFERSON, AND MADISON COUNTIES, IDAHO.
AN  - 36393163; 852
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of an all-season gravel road across 8.8 miles of public land between Egin and Hamer in Fremont, Jefferson, and Madison counties, Idaho is proposed. The primary issues involved in the proposed action are the fate of a herd of 2,000 elk that winter in and migrate through the area that the road would cross and the construction of a road through an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) that is closed to new roads. An environmental assessment predicted that in a worse case analysis, the road could result in the reduction of the elk herd from 2,000 to 150. The preferred alternative would be for the counties to construct a gravel road 24 feet wide to serve as a farm-to-market route for the farming area northwest of St. Anthony, Idaho. The road would be open year-round. The effects of the road on the elk herd would be monitored during the winter of 1986-1987 to gather baseline data. The counties would be responsible for the cost of the monitoring, which would be conducted by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. The road would be constructed during the summer of 1987. If the monitoring results show that the road was having an effect on elk distribution or the well-being of the elk herd, corrective action would be taken. This action could include seasonal closure of the road. The estimated cost to the counties would range from $88,000 to $528,000 to build the road, with an annual cost of $14,080 (if the seasonal closure was in effect) or $7,040 (if the seasonal closure was not in effect) for maintenance. Monitoring the effects on elk would cost the counties $28,570 per year. The project would have a net present worth of between a negative $1.2 million and a negative $0.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would provide year-round use of the road, which would result in a cost savings between $67,000 and $104,200 per year for those using the road. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: An average of 5,794 elk hunter days would be lost yearly over a period of 10 years. A direct economic loss in local expenditures, caused by the reduction in hunter days, would amount to $104,200 per year over the 10 years.

T1  - PROPOSED MINING PLAN, EAST GILLETTE FEDERAL MINE, CAMPBELL COUNTY, WYOMING.
AN  - 36396542; 835
AB  - PURPOSE: Development of a surface coal mine, designed to produce 256 million tons of coal over a 25-year period, is proposed in the eastern Powder River Basin three miles east of Gillette in Campbell County, Wyoming. The mine permit area, comprising 3,246 acres of gently rolling topography, is currently used for ranching, wildlife habitat, and farmland. Surface mining would begin after two years' surveying of the area, completion of access roads and equipment assembly areas, clearing of land, and erection of mine-support buildings. Peak production would begin approximately 15 years after the start of mining, after a second pit is opened. An average of 11 million tons would be mined annually, with a peak production of 12 million tons per year. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to contributing to the nation's effort to replace foreign oil with domestic energy sources, the mine would boost the local employment base. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: During mining operations, the geologic strata (coal and overburden) up to a maximum depth of 341 feet, soils, and vegetation on as many as 2,604 acres of the minesite would be progressively disturbed. The overall land surface would be lowered an average of 53 feet, and soil structure would be changed. The vegetative productivity and the use of the entire mine site (currently used for livestock grazing and wildlife) would not be restored to premining levels until approximately 40 years after mining begins. Mining is expected to reduce wildlife populations locally until such time as reclaimed lands could support recolonization to a new level. Mining and associated facilities would constitute a major visual intrusion on the rural landscape during the construction and active mining phases. Air quality and water quality would be moderately affected. Traffic to and from the mine would increase noise levels and add to maintenance requirements of roads. LEGAL MANDATES: Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.) and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).

T1  - ERADICATION OF CANNABIS ON NON-FEDERAL AND INDIAN LANDS IN THE CONTIGUOUS UNITED STATES AND HAWAII.
AN  - 36402068; 790
AB  - PURPOSE: Eradication of cannabis on nonfederal and Indian lands in the contiguous United States and Hawaii is proposed. The herbicide exposure levels expected under routine and worst-case circumstances to the estimated safe doses for 2,4-D and paraquat are compared, based on newly available data. Information from the Environmental Protection Agency on paraquat mutagenicity is also incorporated in the analyses of cancer risk. The preferred eradication method would utilize the full range of manual and mechanical methods and the directed and broadcast methods of applying paraquat, 2,4-D, or glyphosate. Preferably, all available disposal methods would be used, including haul and burn, haul and bury, shred and till, and posting of the area. Selection of the eradication or disposal method would be based on such criteria as available manpower and equipment; number of plants and configuration of crops; proximity of cannabis to other crops, bodies of water, human habitation, and developed recreation areas; topography of the area; foliage density and plant height; soil type; accessibility; weather conditions; and time of year and maturity of the plants. For mature cannabis plants, paraquat would be the preferred herbicide; young plants would receive applications of 2,4-D and glyphosate. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The eradication program would reduce the available supply of illegal marijuana. The preferred alternative specifically would allow state and local law enforcement agencies to select the most appropriate eradication or disposal methods for their area. Landowners whose land was being used by others for marijuana cultivation would regain the full use of their lands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Disposal methods and herbicide applications could affect nontarget plant and animal species and would expose workers to occupational safety and health hazards. Indians and native Hawaiians could oppose herbicide use on their lands. Some sprayed marijuana could reach consumers. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Environmental Pesticide Control Act of 1972 (7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) and the draft supplement to the DEIS, see 85-0252D, Volume 9, Number 6, and 86-0004D, Volume 10, Number 1, respectively.

T1  - KESTERSON PROGRAM, MERCED AND FRESNO COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36402384; 818
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan for clean-up of the Kesterson Reservoir, located in Merced and Fresno counties, California, is proposed. The Kesterson Reservoir is part of the 5,900-acre Kesterson National Wildlife Refuge. Studies have indicated that fish, waterfowl, sediments, and vegetation have been contaminated by selenium, most of which originated from irrigated agricultural drainwater carried via the 85-mile San Luis Drain (SLD). The general purpose of the Kesterson Program is to identify alternatives for the Kesterson Reservoir clean-up and land use, SLD clean-up and disposition, and wetlands mitigation. Under the Flexible Response Plan, vegetation would be harvested and incinerated on-site or hauled to a suitable disposal site. The preferred management option would be to supply Center Valley Project water conveyed via the north SLD, supplemented by local well water, to keep the ponds wet year-round. Levels of selenium and other contaminants in vegetation, invertebrates, soil, and groundwater would be monitored, and waterfowl hazing would continue. If water quality or biological monitoring indicates that this plan would not be successful, the Immobilization Plan would be implemented. Under the latter plan, air would be prevented from reaching the sediments by maintaining permanent ponds throughout the Kesterson Reservoir using clean water. New wetland habitat would be developed on adjacent land to offset the loss of historic wetland habitat at the Kesterson Reservoir. If monitoring indicated that the Immobilization Plan was also unsuccessful, the Wetland Restoration/Onsite Disposal Plan would be implemented, with concurrent monitoring. Under the Immobilization Plan, contaminated soils, sediments, and vegetation would be removed from Kesterson Reservoir and the entire SLD would be deposited in a 64-acre, double-lined and soil-capped landfill on-site. Following clean-up, soil would be imported and wetland habitat restored on the remainder of the Kesterson Reservoir. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Selenium leaching to groundwater would be reduced. Selenium volatilization would be reduced. All plans reduce the risks of off-site groundwater contamination. The Flexible Response and Immobilization plans reduce the risks of vegetation and wildlife contamination; the Wetland Restoration/Onsite Disposal Plan leaves little risk of contamination at the Kesterson Reservoir because contaminated soils, sediments, and vegetation would be removed. All plans would result in reduced long-term exposure to public health risks. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Flexible Response and the Immobilization plans carry significant risks of continued vegetation and wildlife contamination, since providing substitute habitat would not necessarily prevent wildlife species from using the Kesterson Reservoir and becoming contaminated. The alternatives would create short-term increases in public health risks during construction. Under the Flexible Response and Immobilization plans, hazing noise would continue. Both alternatives would cause visual impacts from hauling of either vegetation or sediments.

T1  - WILDERNESS SUITABILITY EIS: GRASS CREEK AND CODY RESOURCE AREAS, BIGHORN BASIN, WYOMING (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT FOR THE OWL CREEK WILDERNESS STUDY AREA).
AN  - 36403994; 754
AB  - PURPOSE: The recommendation of four wilderness study areas (WSAs) in the western portion of Wyoming's Bighorn Basin as areas not suitable for wilderness designation is proposed. The WSAs are Bobcat Draw Badlands, 17,150 acres; Sheep Mountain, 22,210 acres; Red Butte, 10,910 acres; and McCullough Peaks, 24,570 acres. The total area would comprise 74,840 acres. Land management would be guided by existing management framework plans. Wilderness values would not be expressly managed. All forms of recreation use would be allowed. Off-road vehicle (ORV) use would be limited to either existing or designated roads and trails. Visual resource management criteria would be used to mitigate the visual impacts of management actions and resources use activities. Standard soil and watershed protection stipulations would be imposed on oil and gas production activities. Present livestock grazing practices would continue. Improvements and changes in use would be approved by the usual range management procedures. Wild horse management would reduce horse numbers and largely eliminate horse use in some areas. Herd numbers would be maintained by periodic gathering. Standard protection measures would mitigate the impacts of development on wildlife and wildlife habitat. No projects to enhance habitat would be planned. Mineral management regulations would apply, but no mineral development activity is anticipated. This supplement to the draft environmental impact statement documents the effects expected as a result of wilderness designation or nondesignation of the 710 acres of public lands constituting the Owl Creek WSA. The WSA is located on the western edge of the Bighorn Basin of north-central Wyoming. Under the preferred alternative, all of the WSA's 710 acres would be recommended for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. Management would include protection of natural values including wildlife, fishery, and scenic values, and provisions for recreation use in a primitive manner characterized by low visitor use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In nonwilderness areas, possible oil and gas exploration would provide a source of employment and income for region residents. Wilderness designation would result in foregone production of oil and gas resources, with effects on employment, income, and tax and royalty revenues. Wilderness designation would provide only minimal benefits for primitive recreation because of the wealth of exceptional wilderness resources already designated. Increased access could facilitate stock management. In the Owl Creek WSA, a 10 percent increase per year in recreation use is anticipated; wilderness values would be assured protection and preservation on 710 acres for the long term. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: In nonwilderness areas, wilderness values would be lost on most or all of 74,840 acres plus 14,170 acres of potential add-on lands. Oil and gas activity and ORV use could cause increased soil erosion and compaction. Increased sediment loads and saline discharges could degrade water quality. Oil and gas development could degrade wildlife habitat. Paleontological resources could be destroyed by surface-disturbing activities. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - COLORADO RIVER WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, UINTA BASIN UNIT, DUCHESNE AND UINTAH COUNTIES, UTAH.
AN  - 36400417; 781
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of the Uinta Basin Unit of the Colorado River Water Quality Improvement Program, Duchesne and Uintah counties, Utah are proposed. Under the recommended plan, 55.5 miles of canals and laterals in the Uinta Basin Unit area would be concrete lined to reduce seepage and thereby would reduce salt loading to the Colorado River by an estimated 21,000 to 30,000 tons per year (adjusted to account for the increase resulting from wildlife mitigation). This salt load reduction would be accomplished at an average cost-effectiveness of $88 per ton of salt removed. The recommended plan includes concrete lining of 43.9 miles of canals and 11.6 miles of laterals involving nine canals in six subareas: Zimmerman Wash, Pleasant Valley, Gray Mountain, Pachease, South Fork Dry Gulch, and Purdy-Midview. Nearly 50 percent of the canals and laterals to be lined have capacities of 15 cubic feet per second (cfs) or less. Wildlife measures would include the provision of 2,000 acre-feet of water annually to enlarge the Pariette Wetland Development Area (WDA) by 627 acres to compensate for riparian and wetland habitat that would be lost. The mitigation plan would also include construction of big game bridges and escape ramps along the concrete-lined canals where deer mortality could occur. A survey would be conducted of the area of impact for the Uinta Basin hookless cactus in the Pariette WDA and a plan would be developed to protect the species or its habitat if necessary. The construction cost of the recommended plan is estimated at $26.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Salt loading to the Colorado River system would be reduced, which would reduce the salinity at Imperial Dam by a mean annual range of approximately 1.9 to 2.7 milligrams per liter (mg/L). The reduced canal seepage would result in an increased water supply to presently irrigated lands of approximately 16,800 acre-feet of water annually. There would be an estimated increase of 384 acres of desert shrub and 500 acres of irrigated lands, of which 300 acres would be developed specifically for wildlife. The recommended plan would benefit some upland game birds and other wildlife species associated with the irrigated crop and desert shrub cover at the expense of other species associated with the riparian shrub-tree cover. The project would provide 70 jobs during the peak years of construction. Agricultural production and income for local farmers would improve slightly due to the increased water supply. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the proposed plan would cause an estimated permanent net loss of approximately 280 acres of riparian shrub-tree and 100 acres of wetland cover types. The project would adversely affect seven historically significant canals; however, appropriate mitigation has already been completed. LEGAL MANDATES: Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-320), Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - GEOTHERMAL LEASING OF NATIONAL FOREST SYSTEM LANDS IN THE LASSEN NATIONAL FOREST, LASSEN, PLUMAS, SHASTA, AND TEHAMA COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36398823; 741
AB  - PURPOSE: The impacts of geothermal exploration, development, and production on 206,500 acres of the Lassen National Forest, located in Lassen, Plumas, Shasta, and Tehama counties, California, are assessed. The area includes the 56,700-acre Lassen Known Geothermal Resource Area (KGRA) south of the Lassen Volcanic National Park (LVNP) and adjacent areas considered to have some potential for geothermal resource development. Two major population centers, Chico and Redding, are approximately one hour and a half to the west. Two levels of development and production are analyzed--75 megawatts and 300 megawatts. Hydrothermal features within the Lassen study area include hot springs, fumaroles, mudpots, and areas of hydrothermally altered ground. Under the preferred alternative, only national forest lands within noncompetitive application areas north of the LVNP, in which rocks derived from the Lassen volcanic center do not occur, would be leased, with standard lease terms and special stipulations. Specific lands unavailable for leasing are (1) 14,581 acres that constitute the Heart Lake and Wild Cattle Mountain Further Planning (roadless) areas, and (2) the 16,335-acre Thousand Lakes Wilderness and the portion of the Caribou Wilderness Area included in the study area boundary. The boundaries of lands excluded from leasing were selected on the basis of the limits of the surface and subsurface occurrence of rocks derived from or related in age and chemical composition to the Lassen volcanic center. These boundaries are believed to mark the limits of possible fluid circulation associated with the principal hydrothermal system beneath the LVNP. The economic base of the counties is highly dependent on the lumber and wood products sector, with recreation and agriculture being the next important components of the economic base. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Geothermal exploration, development, and production would import skilled labor, with a corresponding demand for housing and services. The production phase would generate county revenues estimated at $5,000 per megawatt. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under certain conditions, the pressure change induced by fluid production could cause changes in the rate of upflowing steam that feeds the thermal features in the LVNP. Long-term visual effects from the LVNP and elevated noise levels would be caused by production facilities. Geothermal development could affect wilderness values by degrading air quality, creating noise, and reducing visual quality. Geothermal exploration or development alongside or near trails could affect trail users with dust, noise, and traffic. During the production phase, users would find a markedly altered recreation setting. Surface and subsurface water quality may be degraded. Road construction, drilling, pipeline and power plant construction, and erosion from disturbed areas would adversely affect the quality of surface water. Activities that would require clearing of timbered land could result in the reduction of timber output on the Lassen National Forest at an average of 275 board feet per acre per year. Wildlife habitat would be adversely affected. Cultural resources also could be impacted. Road construction that increases access to cultural properties could lead to an increase in vandalism. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 (30 U.S.C. 1002 et seq.), and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

T1  - UPPER DELAWARE SCENIC AND RECREATIONAL RIVER MANAGEMENT PLAN, NEW YORK AND PENNSYLVANIA.
AN  - 36400377; 779
AB  - PURPOSE: A river management plan (RMP) for the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River in Pennsylvania and New York is proposed. The northern and southern termini for the river corridor include the segment of the Upper Delaware River from the confluence of the east and west branches below Hancock, New York to the existing railroad bridge immediately downstream of Cherry Island in the vicinity of Sparrow Bush, New York, for a total river corridor length of 73.4 miles. Under the preferred alternative, the landward boundary would encompass a total of 56,095 acres and would include those adjacent lands from which runoff drains directly into the Delaware River. In addition, the boundary line would be drawn across tributary valleys at the nearest recognizable high points closest to each stream, which may be ridgelines, peaks, or topographic promontories. The RMP and revised Land and Water Use Guidelines would be implemented by an Upper Delaware Management Council, composed of representatives from each river corridor town, the National Park Service, the state of New York, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the Delaware River Basin Commission. Three recreational and two scenic segments were established in the 1978 legislation; these segments would not be changed under this alternative. The RMP also identifies 17 hamlet areas. Levels and types of development for the scenic and recreational segments and hamlet areas have been defined in the Land and Water Use Guidelines, including principal, conditional, and incompatible uses. The guidelines contain six major principles for resource protection: (1) maintain the high water quality found in the Upper Delaware River; (2) provide for the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of visitors and residents, while also providing for the protection and preservation of natural resources; (3) provide for recreational and other public uses while protecting the Upper Delaware River as a natural resource; (4) provide for the continuation of agricultural and forestry uses; (5) conserve river areas resources; and (6) maintain existing patterns of land use and ownership. Actions directed toward conserving and protecting the fisheries habitat, such as spawning areas and nurseries, are also proposed. Water quality actions are directed toward protecting the existing quality of surface water and groundwater by eliminating or mitigating the adverse impacts from runoff, contamination, other types of pollutants, and erosion. The RMP and guidelines would include actions to retain the scenic rural character of the area. The National Park Service would operate two ranger stations, five information kiosks, a visitor contact facility, eight public river access sites, and 11 emergency access sites; provide law enforcement on the river itself; provide safety information to visitors; and complete reconstruction of the Roebling Bridge and open it to vehicular traffic. Watercraft rental businesses would be authorized to operate on the river through commercial use licenses. The National Park Service would provide technical assistance to property owners, local governments, and historic preservation organizations for cultural resources management. Upon request, states would provide information and assistance in the management of archaeological sites. The plan and guidelines are also designed to ensure the continuation of existing patterns and types of traditional land uses in the river corridor. The management council would review, coordinate, and provide direction for all aspects of the plan implementation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would prevent erosion by controlling development within 100 feet of the river and on slopes over 15 percent. Groundwater would be protected by required two-acre minimum lot size. Key scenic resources would be protected. Proposed public facilities would adequately meet present and future needs. Litter and trespassing would decrease. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Trout and bass fisheries would suffer minor impacts from new construction. Archaeological and historic resources would suffer minor impacts from new development. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), National Parks and Recreation Act of 1978 (P.L. 95-625), and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1271).

T1  - BAKER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, BAKER COUNTY, OREGON.
AN  - 36403135; 751
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan for 429,754 acres of public lands in the Baker Resource Area of the Vale District, Vale, Oregon is proposed. The preferred alternative would provide for production of resources and protection of natural values. Forage available for livestock on Section 15 lands would remain at 4,258 animal unit months (AUMs). Riparian zones on Section 15 lands would be prioritized for management, based on their need and potential, and riparian zone management would emphasize cooperative efforts with adjacent federal, state, and private landowners. All forage on 3,700 acres of Section 15 lands within Cooperative Wildlife Management Areas (approximately 350 AUMs) would be allocated to deer and elk. A total of 10,740 acres of public lands would be available for disposal pending site-specific study. Nearly all public lands would remain open for mineral exploration and development. A total of 332 acres (less than one percent) would be recommended for withdrawal from mineral entry. In addition, 18,955 acres (two percent) would be open to oil and gas leasing with a "no surface occupancy" stipulation. A seasonal oil and gas leasing restriction would apply to 201,720 acres (21.5 percent) due to wildlife considerations. The 10-year sustainable timber harvest level would be approximately 27 million board feet (MMBF) from a commercial forestland base of 25,353 acres. Existing recreation facilities would be maintained or improved, as funding allows, to mitigate damage and sanitary problems associated with increased visitor use. Approximately 138,060 acres of public land would be limited or closed to off-road vehicle (ORV) use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Impacts to soils would decrease slightly. Stream flow would be expected to increase in riparian areas protected from livestock grazing. Over the long term, a slight increase in overall water quality would be expected. Under the preferred alternative, rangeland vegetation diversity and ecological conditions and vigor would remain unchanged for the majority of the area. Wildlife forage and habitat quality would increase. The quality of fish habitat and ultimately fish populations would increase. Fishing and hunting opportunities would also increase. Some increase in visual quality could be expected. Greater protection would be provided for cultural properties that would provide long-term enhancement of important cultural resources, particularly the Oregon Trail. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Smoke from the prescribed burning of slash and prescribed burns to improve wildlife habitat would affect air quality. Continued ORV use would decrease vegetation and, over the long term, would create an almost permanent bare ground condition in the most heavily used areas. Stipulations would occur on oil and gas leasing. Losses in personal income and employment would amount to approximately $20,000 and one job. LEGAL MANDATES: Clean Air Act of 1977, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7411 et seq.), Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), and Taylor Grazing Act of 1934, as amended (43 U.S.C. 315).

T1  - REMEDIAL ACTIONS AT THE FORMER CLIMAX URANIUM COMPANY URANIUM MILL SITE, GRAND JUNCTION, MESA COUNTY, COLORADO.
AN  - 36398769; 769
AB  - PURPOSE: Cleanup of contaminated material at the former Climax Uranium Company uranium mill site and associated vicinity properties in Grand Junction, Mesa County, Colorado is proposed. The site is a 114-acre tract of private and state-owned land that contains approximately 3.1 million cubic yards of tailings and associated contaminated soils. Properties in the vicinity include homes, businesses, public buildings, and vacant lots that may have been contaminated during construction when tailings were used as building material. An estimated 3,465 properties would be cleaned up during remedial action of the tailings pile. The former Climax Uranium Company processed uranium ore and sold it to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission from 1951 to 1966 and to private sources from 1966 to 1970. Under the preferred alternative, the tailings and other contaminated materials would be relocated to the Cheney Reservoir site, located 18 miles southeast of the Grand Junction site. A pit averaging 14 feet in depth would be excavated at the Cheney Reservoir site and a low-permeability layer would be constructed in the bottom of the pit. The tailings and other contaminated materials (including material from remedial action at vicinity properties and the state repository adjacent to the Grand Junction site) would be trucked to the Cheney Reservoir site and placed on the low-permeability layer. Truck haul routes would be determined during preparation of the final engineering designs; however, the following haul route was suggested: trucks leaving the Grand Junction site loaded with tailings and other contaminated material would travel north on 15th Street to D Road, east to 32 Road (Route 146), south to U.S. Highway 50, south to the Cheney Reservoir access road (to be constructed), and southeast to the Cheney Reservoir site. Trucks returning to the Grand Junction site would travel northwest on the Cheney Reservoir access road to U.S. Highway 50, north to Noland Avenue, east to 7th Street, south to Struthers Avenue, and east to the processing site. The tailings and contaminated material would be covered with an earth radon barrier and an erosion protection layer of small rock. After removal of the tailings and other contaminated material, the Grand Junction site would be recontoured and revegetated. Sites with elevated radiation levels would be surveyed. Contaminated material would be excavated or otherwise removed with the consent of the property owner and transported by trucks to temporary storage at the state repository adjacent to the Grand Junction site. Disturbed areas at the vicinity properties would be restored to approximately their preremedial action condition. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The release of radiation would be reduced to EPA standards, which should significantly reduce the number of excess cancer deaths. Tailings would be stabilized on relatively remote federal land. Approximately 114 acres at the Grand Junction site would be released for other uses. Average direct employment resulting from the project would be 128 persons for 34 months. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in 0.2 cancer fatalities and 0.09 equipment-use fatalities among workers. Approximately 801,000 cubic yards of sand, gravel, and rock would be used, resulting in a permanent loss of 80 acres of soils. Approximately 73 million gallons of water would also be consumed. A permanent loss of 80 acres of common shrub and grassland habitat and a long-term loss of 40 acres of riparian habitat would result. Four sites potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places would be disturbed. Traffic around the Grand Junction site and U.S. 50 would increase. Air quality standards for the release of particulates would be exceeded. LEGAL MANDATES: Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978 (42 U.S.C. 7901).

T1  - GRASS VALLEY CREEK DEBRIS DAM, TRINITY COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36397807; 774
AB  - PURPOSE: Restoration of fish and wildlife resources in the Trinity River Basin by reducing the amount of sediment entering the Trinity River from Grass Valley Creek, Trinity County, California is proposed. The proposed action, the Buckhorn Mountain Project, has two components: the Buckhorn Dam in the upper Grass Valley Creek watershed and a sand dredging maintenance program involving construction of the Hamilton Pools. The proposed Buckhorn Dam would be a 775-foot long, 70-foot high zoned earthfill type structure with a total volume of approximately 344,000 cubic yards. The maximum water storage level would be approximately 11 feet below the dam crest, and the pool at this level would contain approximately 1,100 acre-feet of water and have a surface area of 43 acres. An outlet structure would be provided to control reservoir outflow between 0 and 100 cubic feet /second (cfs) and as a means of draining the reservoir. The outlet structure would be designed to allow continual withdrawals as the reservoir fills with sediment and, if feasible, for temperature augmentation. A conduit running from the junction of Grass Valley Creek and the Buckhorn Reservoir to downstream of the dam is being considered. This conduit would allow bypassing the flows in Grass Valley Creek around the reservoir and dam directly into Grass Valley Creek below the dam. Stream gauges would be installed above and below the dam. The maximum water level at full surcharge over the spillway would be six feet above the maximum storage level. An ungated-ogee crest spillway would be designed at a level equal to the maximum storage level. The spillway would be 105 feet long. Approximately 70 acres, exclusive of roads, would be required for the dam and reservoir; a total of 200 acres would be acquired for the Buckhorn Dam and Reservoir. The estimated cost is $7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would remove the majority of the average annual 72.71 acre-feet of sediment. The sediment reduction would result in improved water quality. The effects on the current floodplain are unknown; however, some degree of flood protection would probably be provided. An overall increase in vegetation in the watershed would result due to management practices. A slight increase in socioeconomic activity would result in the area. Increased fishery opportunities would have a long-term beneficial impact due to improved recreation potential. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Periodically, the deposited material would be dredged and disposed of at the Hamilton site, which would increase the elevation of 40 acres by 15 feet over 10 years. Construction of the Buckhorn Dam would inundate approximately 36 acres of woodland habitat and 7 acres of riparian habitat. Construction of the dam would also eliminate approximately 9,650 feet of stream available to steelhead trout. Similarly, wildlife habitat would be lost in the reservoir and pool sites. There would be a loss of land available for timber harvesting activities. Increases in noise and traffic would occur during construction. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, and Public Law 96-335.

T1  - SHOSHONE/SUN VALLEY WILDERNESS STUDY, BLAINE, BUTTE, CAMAS, CUSTER, GOODING, AND LINCOLN COUNTIES, IDAHO.
AN  - 36393047; 748
AB  - PURPOSE: Amendment of the resource management plan for the Shoshone District of southcentral Idaho is proposed to determine future management of nine wilderness study areas (WSAs) within the district, which lies in Blaine, Butte, Camas, Custer, Gooding, and Lincoln counties. The WSAs under consideration include the Friedman Creek WSA (9,773 acres), Little City of Rocks WSA (5,875 acres), Black Canyon WSA (10,371 acres), Gooding City of Rocks East WSA (14,743 acres), Gooding City of Rocks West WSA (6,287 acres), Deer Creek WSA (7,487 acres), and Lava WSA (23,680 acres). The preferred management scheme would involve management of the Gooding City of Rocks West WSA and 13,063 acres of the Gooding City of Rocks East WSA as parts of the National Wilderness Preservation System. The remaining portion of the Gooding City of Rocks East WSA and all other land within the remaining six WSAs would be designated and managed as nonwilderness. Activities allowed within the WSAs that would not be managed as wilderness would include off-road vehicle (ORV) use, mineral leasing and development, range management, reservoir development, pipeline construction, and prescribed burning and other forms of vegetation control. Only some of these activities would be allowed in any particular nonwilderness WSA. Some range improvements, including development of one reservoir, would occur on newly designated wilderness. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness management for the WSAs designated for inclusion in the national system would protect unique and valuable wilderness resources associated with the areas. The value of designated lands as resources for primitive recreationists would be enhanced. WSA lands to be managed as nonwilderness would benefit from management activities that are prohibited on wilderness lands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Intrusive management activities on wilderness and nonwilderness lands would somewhat alter the pristine character of such lands. Continued use of ORVs and other developments in WSAs to be managed as nonwilderness could prevent future wilderness designation for such areas. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 82-0807D, Volume 6, Number 12.

T1  - NATIONAL FREEWAY--U.S. ROUTE 48, SECTION I, WOLFE MILL TO M.V. SMITH ROAD, ALLEGANY COUNTY, MARYLAND (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF AUGUST 1980).
AN  - 36403220; 759
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of the final 19-mile gap of the National Freeway from Wolfe Mill Road to M.V. Smith Road in Allegany County, Maryland is proposed. The preferred alternative generally follows existing U.S. Route 40 and consists of major reconstruction to provide a four-lane divided highway with full control of access and a minimum median width of 34 feet. Where the existing pavement and cross-section are satisfactory, existing U.S. Route 40 would be retained as part of the freeway. In three areas, however, upgrading of U.S. Route 40 to current design standards within its existing corridor would cause substantial impacts on residences and businesses and would be extremely expensive. Therefore, the preferred alternative deviated from the existing U.S. Route 40 in these areas, as follows: (a) between Wolfe Mill and Hinkle roads, (b) the summit of Martin Mountain, and (c) between Flintstone and the summit of Polish Mountain. In order to provide continuity of local traffic circulation after construction of the freeway, a continuous two-way frontage road would be provided between Wolfe Mill and Fifteen Mile Creek roads, consisting of portions of existing U.S. Route 40, Old National Pike, Wilson Road, and Murley Branch Road, as well as a new roadway. Interchanges would be provided at Wolfe Mill Road, Rocky Gap State Park, Martin Mountain, Flintstone, Fifteen Mile Creek Road, and M.V. Smith Road. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Completion of the National Freeway would provide a controlled-access highway between Morgantown, West Virginia and Hancock, Maryland and would improve economic conditions for western Maryland and the Appalachian Region. The level of service would improve, and accident rates would decline. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, 37 residences would be acquired and five businesses would be displaced. Three farms would be affected, with one being displaced. The preferred alternative would require 15 acres of Rocky Gap State Park, 53 acres of Greenridge State Forest, and land from three historic sites. Eight archaeological sites would be affected. Noise levels would exceed Federal Noise Abatement Criteria at 19 sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Appalachian Regional Development Act of 1965 (P.L. 89-4), Department of Transportation Act of 1966 (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Federal Aid Highway Act of 1968 (23 U.S.C. 128(a)), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE WARM SPRINGS RESOURCE AREA, MILLARD COUNTY, UTAH.
AN  - 36400240; 753
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan for the Warm Springs Resource Area (WSRA) in Millard County, Utah is proposed. The WSRA is located in the Richfield District and covers the southern two-thirds of Millard County in west-central Utah. Its eastern border is the forested Pavant Range. The objective of the preferred alternative would be to provide variety and balance in the use of the WSRA's resources. Where possible, resources would be increased or improved for both consumptive use (e.g., forage for livestock grazing) and nonconsumptive use (e.g., recreational, sightseeing, hiking, etc.) or natural resource use (e.g., habitat for wildlife and wild horses). Energy and mineral rights-of-way and permit policies would encourage resource use and development, while ensuring protection of other natural values. The objectives of range management would be to maintain rangeland in good condition and to improve rangeland that was in poor or fair condition. Range improvements would be installed as funds become available. Emphasis would be placed on improving livestock distribution to ensure more uniform forage utilization patterns. Along the eastern edge of the WSRA, approximately 14,000 acres of the land suitable for vegetation would be treated. The objective of wildlife management would be to achieve desired numbers of big game. Management objectives for black sagebrush would be to improve habitat in poor to fair and fair to good condition through better distribution and management of grazing. The condition of critical deer winter range would be monitored, and livestock would be managed to prevent degradation. Habitat development would be undertaken to establish and expand yearlong deer herds where feasible. Mountainous areas would be evaluated to determine suitability for bighorn sheep reintroduction. On approximately 11,830 acres of crucial/critical wildlife ranges and riparian areas, only selective removal of woodland products would be allowed. Individual permits would be issued on demand for fuel wood, posts, Christmas trees, and pine nuts on the remaining 129,391 acres of pinyon-juniper suitable for harvesting operations. Selective removal of wild horses would be initiated to improve breeding stock. Total forage allocation to wild horses would be 1,040 animal unit months (AUMs) for a total population of 140 horses. Oil and gas leasing categories would be limited to categories 3 (No Surface Occupancy, 25,727 acres), 2 (Special Stipulations, 55,670 acres), and 1 (Standard Stipulations, 2,145,358 acres). The public lands in the WSRA would be designed to the following off-road vehicle (ORV) categories: 2.2. million acres open; 52,917 acres limited to existing and/or designated roads and trails; and 18,110 acres closed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Vegetation treatment would increase available forage by 1,633 AUMs. Forage productivity would be expected to increase on all 63 allotments over the long term. The composition of key vegetation species would be expected to stabilize and/or increase over the long term. Long-term available forage would increase approximately 20,367 AUMs above current licensed use. Critical wildlife habitat would gradually improve, allowing antelope population increases up to 1,861 animals. Available forage for and population of winter deer would increase. Bighorn sheep would be introduced to suitable areas. Raptor numbers could increase over the long term. Wildlife populations would increase, along with subsequent hunting opportunities. Watershed values would improve on up to 14,000 acres. Initially, small cattle operations would benefit the most, followed by sheep operations, then medium and large cattle operations. Over the long term, all sizes of cattle and sheep operations would realize increases in net cash income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The effects of vandalism, livestock trampling, erosion, and other agents of deterioration, although not great, would continue. Affected cultural sites would lose some of the scientific value they now possess. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wild and Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act of 1971 (16 U.S.C. 1331 et seq.).

T1  - CONTINGENCY PROGRAM FOR WESTLANDS WATER DISTRICT DRAINAGE DISPOSAL PROJECT, WEST SAN JOAQUIN DIVISION, CENTRAL VALLEY PROJECT, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36396013; 729
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan to ensure the continued cessation of drainage flows in the San Luis Drain north of Bass Avenue and into Kesterson Reservoir, Central Valley, in western Fresno and northwestern Kings counties, California after June 30, 1986 is proposed. The project area encompasses the entire 42,000 acre area in the northeast portion of the Westlands Water District, in which a subsurface drainage collector system has been installed. The exact location and total acreage from which subsurface drainage is collected is not fully known, but most of the collected drainage water is coming from within the 42,000 acres. The Bureau of Reclamation proposes to plug the existing subsurface drainage collector system by installing earth plugs at approximately 0.25 mile intervals along the open-joint collector pipes and by plugging all manholes located where the collector (open-joint) and carrier (closed-joint) pipes meet. If sufficient rights-of-way to accomplish these actions are not available or do not become available in a timely manner or if the proposed installation of earth plugs does not proceed as rapidly as required due to saturated soil conditions, additional collector manholes would also require plugging. When weather permits and/or appropriate rights-of-way are obtained, the remaining earth plugs would be installed. Earth plugs would be installed by excavating to the collector pipes at specified locations. The earth plugs would be located at approximately each 4-foot difference in ground surface elevation along each collector drain. Two 4-foot sections of the open-joint pipe and the gravel envelope surrounding the pipe would be removed. Strutted plywood covers coated with a polyurethane sealant would be placed over the open ends of the pipe, and the site would be backfilled with locally available low-permeability materials. A groundwater monitoring system would be installed at each plug location. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reduced exposure of fish and wildlife to contaminants in the San Luis Drain and Kesterson Reservoir and reduced exposure of humans to drainage water contaminants and to contaminated wildlife would result. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action could result in possible gradual saturation and an increase in salinity and constituents in lower soil horizons from a rise in groundwater levels over the 42,000-acre area served by collected drains. If water users reuse drainage water, there is a potential for botulism outbreaks in recycling reservoirs, as well as for bioaccumulation of selenium and heavy metals by waterfowl and shorebirds from association with recycling reservoirs. Water users would have to design, operate, and maintain recycling reservoirs. If perched groundwater rises to the surface and forms ponds, there is a potential for botulism outbreaks and trace element bioaccumulation. The level of selenium may increase in crops with a potential bioaccumulation of selenium from ingestion of crops grown with recycled drainage water. The market value of commercial farmlands would be reduced. A loss of employment for farm operators and skilled workers would result. Based on a worst-case analysis and a 10-year time frame, there would be an anticipated additional welfare cost of $4.6 million. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990.

T1  - BLACK DIAMOND, WASHINGTON PETITION EVALUATION, KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 36398533; 708
AB  - PURPOSE: A petition has been filed by the Citizens Concerned About Strip Mining to have approximately 800 acres of private land immediately adjacent to the city of Black Diamond in King County, Washington designated unsuitable for surface coal mining operations. The petition contains four primary allegations, three of which address the entire petition area, including the Pacific Coast Coal Company's (PCCC) proposed John Henry No. 1 mine permit area. These three allegations are that (1) natural-hazard lands, which are unsuitable for surface coal mining operations, exist in the petition area; (2) fragile lands, which are unsuitable for surface coal mining operations, exist in the petition area; and (3) lands proximate to population, and therefore unsuitable for surface coal mining operations, exist in the petition area. The fourth primary petition allegation addresses PCCC's proposed John Henry No. 1 mine permit area only. It consists of requests and allegations urging acceptance and processing of the petition as it relates to the proposed permit area and to enforce the buffer zones surrounding abandoned underground mines, public roads, and dwellings in the area. The Secretary of the Interior is required to make a decision on whether to grant in whole or in part or to deny the Black Diamond petition. In making the decision, the secretary will consider the petition only as it relates to the curtailed petition area. The alternative decisions available to the secretary and analyzed in this document are: (A) designate the entire curtailed petition area as unsuitable for all surface coal mining operations; (B) designate none of the curtailed petition area as unsuitable for surface coal mining operations; (C) designate parts of the curtailed petition area as unsuitable for surface coal mining operations; (D) designate the entire curtailed petition area as unsuitable for surface coal mining, but allow underground coal mining; and (E) no action. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of Alternative B would result in the mining of 840,000 short tons of clean coal in pit No. 2 of the life-of-mine Area A. Approximately 471,000 short tons of clean coal would be mined within the East End Tract. The workforce employed at the proposed John Henry No. 1 mine would be shifted to mine the curtailed petition area, sustaining its employment for another 5.5 years. Over a 5.5-year period, mining in the curtailed petition area would generate an estimated $6 million in sales, property, and business-and-occupation taxes for the state, King County, Enumclaw School District, and other districts in its vicinity. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of Alternative A would preclude any underground or surface coal mining activities within the curtailed petition area, both now and in the future, unless such designation were terminated by the regulatory authority upon petition. An estimated 1.3 million short tons of recoverable coal would not be extracted from the curtailed petition area. The potential for employment and income that would be generated by mining the life-of-mine Area A and East End Wetland would be unrealized. Implementation of Alternative B would disturb approximately 35.7 acres of the curtailed petition area. Mining and reclamation activities in the life-of-mine Area A would not only increase the sediment load in surface water but would change the chemical characteristics of runoff water. The greatest effect of any mining operations within the curtailed petition area on wildlife would be to disturb the existing wildlife habitat or to change these habitats to something different after mining. Air quality would deteriorate somewhat owing to particulate emissions. Additional traffic congestion, deterioration of roads, potential for accidents, noise, and dust would result. Property values of homes and lands adjacent to a mine would decrease until the mine was successfully reclaimed. Implementation of Alternative C would result in impacts that would be the same as those described under Alternative A for areas declared unsuitable and similar to those described under Alternative B for areas declared suitable. Under Alternative D, underground mining could trigger subsidence, caused by the underground-mine workings. Irregular subsidence could result in surface damage, such as surface fissures, sinkholes, cave-ins, and other irregular lowering of the land surface. Vertical subsidence and horizontal displacement could alter surface water and groundwater drainage patterns and could allow water and air to enter the underground works. Should this occur, spontaneous combustion of the coal seam could result, causing air and water pollution as well as waste of a valuable resource.

T1  - SOUTHERN RIO GRANDE PLAN AMENDMENT: PROPOSED STATE LAND EXCHANGE AND DONA ANA COUNTY LAND TENURE ADJUSTMENT, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36398930; 705
AB  - PURPOSE: A land exchange and other land tenure adjustments are proposed for Dona Ana County, New Mexico as an amendment to the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Southern Rio Grande Management Framework Plan (MFP) of 1982. Within Dona Ana County, BLM has identified public land for retention and for disposal; it also has identified private and state lands for potential acquisition and land that could be relinquished by the U.S. Army. In addition, the state of New Mexico proposes that 73,560 acres of state land within and near the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), plus 5,000 acres in the Organ Mountains, be exchanged for 10,000 acres of selected public land east of Las Cruces, New Mexico. Both the WSMR-offered land and the selected public land lie within Dona Ana County in the south-central portion of the state. Dona Ana County contains approximately 2.4 million acres, of which 1.1 million acres are public land administered by BLM. Most of the public land is used for livestock grazing granted by permit. Other land uses include rights-of-way, leases, permits, mining, and recreational activities. The objective of the proposal is to provide balanced management for land tenure adjustments by disposing of land that is difficult and uneconomical to manage, while retaining and acquiring land with important environmental values and sensitive resources. The objective of the State Land Exchange would be to consolidate land for easier, more economical management. The estimated increase in managerial costs for the preferred alternative is $265,500 annually. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The acquisition of 41,000 acres of private and state lands identified by BLM and the public, within and adjacent to special management areas (SMAs), and of 5,000 acres in the Organ Mountains, would increase public land acreage and help block up public land. Access to SMAs would be improved in most instances. Retention of almost 8,500 acres in the Franklin Mountains would grant protection for the federally listed species Corypantha sneedii, var. sneedii (Sneed's pincushion) and its habitat. Better management resulting from the proposed consolidation of public lands through tenure adjustments and the land exchange would improve the habitat and provide better protection for federal- and state-listed plant species in the area. Acquisition of lands in the Rio Grande riparian area and the Old Refuge would bring a potential total of 2,800 acres of critical riparian habitat into public land management, thereby creating the opportunity to improve the ecological condition and habitat value of the areas. Acquisition of the acreage in the Organ Mountains would improve opportunities to manage the habitat of the White Sands deer herd. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: No changes in use, therefore, no impacts to soil, water, or vegetation, are anticipated. The Opuntia arenaria (sand prickly pear) cactus species, however, would no longer be under the protection of BLM. Disposal of 73,000 acres on the East Mesa could generally eliminate recreational opportunities on that land unless another agency or local government would take over ownership and maintenance. Thirty-six recorded and 1,000 unrecorded sites of archaeologic interest would be removed from BLM management (but far more sites would be retained). LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE CARLSBAD RESOURCE AREA, EDDY, LEA, AND CHAVES COUNTIES, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36401476; 716
AB  - PURPOSE: A resource management plan for managing and allocating public land and the federal mineral estate of the Carlsbad Resource Area (CRA) of the Roswell District for the next 5 to 20 years is proposed. The CRA encompasses approximately 2.2 million acres of federal surface and approximately 2.7 million acres of federal minerals, including all of Eddy and Lea counties and southwest Chaves County, New Mexico. The proposal addresses the issues of land tenure, mineral and energy resources, rangeland resources, special management areas, and access. The preferred alternative suggests disposal of 220,700 acres, with priority given to east Lea County; southwest Chaves County; and the Hart Canyon, lower Black River, and Hope areas of Eddy County. Acquisition of 1,080 acres of private and 2,120 acres of state land is proposed. Federal subsurface mineral estate for oil and gas leasing would be increased by 50,231 acres, for a total of 597,068 acres. Prospecting permits or leases for sulphur, sodium, and potash within 24 areas covering 53,976 acres would be refused. Approximately 66,000 acres would be closed to mineral material disposal. In addition to the existing 14,249 acres of withdrawals, 11,629 acres would be withdrawn from mineral entry under the 1872 Mining Laws. Special surface disturbance stipulations would protect fragile or erodable soils and sensitive water. Twelve existing allotment management plans (AMPs) would be fully implemented and maintained to improve the vegetation, wildlife habitat, and watershed conditions of the rangeland. In the long term, livestock grazing would increase from 192,000 animal unit months (AUMs) to 225,000 AUMs. A habitat management plan (HMP) would be implemented for mule deer on approximately 125,000 acres and for pronghorn antelope on 114,500 acres, and would include wildlife management, water development, fence modifications, and prescribed burning. Special management areas (SMAs) will be designated for archaeologic sites, caves, and other educational, scientific, cultural, and recreational features. Legal access rights for the general public would be obtained in four access tracts where additional access is needed; restrictions would be implemented in 31 land tracts. Twenty areas would be designated as limited for off-road vehicles (ORVs), increasing the current 19,766 acres to 79,359 acres; a total of 8,509 acres would be designated closed to vehicle use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed split would increase the efficiency and lower the cost of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) surface management. Land acquisitions would improve public access and resource values of affected public land tracts and would eliminate much of the potential for conflicting use. Overall habitat conditions would improve slightly, and populations would increase. Game bird habitat quality would be improved by an HMP covering 96,000 acres. Increased intensive management of certain SMAs would greatly enhance the quality of recreation opportunities. Buffer areas around major recreational caves, particularly at McKittrick Hill, would enhance camping, picnicking, sightseeing, and other activities associated with caving in semiprimitive settings. Personal income within the CRA would increase by approximately $407 million for the livestock and other related industry sectors. It is estimated that returns to operators in the livestock sector will increase by 32 percent. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some difficulties with subsurface rights may be created when the surface rights pass from federal ownership. Minimal impact to mineral exploration is expected, except that sulphur exploration would be reduced in the Yeso Hills SMA. Oil and drilling costs are expected to increase by more than $10 million because of directional drilling. Available short-term forage for livestock would be reduced by 24,859 AUMs. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.).

T1  - ROCK CREEK WATERSHED, TENNESSEE, PETITION EVALUATION DOCUMENT.
AN  - 36396238; 707
AB  - PURPOSE: A petition to designate certain lands in a 22,858-acre area of the Rock Creek watershed, located in southern Tennessee, as unsuitable for surface coal mining operations is proposed. The area consists of gently rolling hills with meandering stream channels and gorges incised by Rock and Hall creeks. All the land within the petition area is privately owned. The primary allegations of the petition are that the area must be designated unsuitable for surface coal mining operations because reclamation is not technologically and economically feasible, and because such operations would adversely affect fragile or historic lands and renewable resource lands and would be incompatible with state and local land-use plans or programs. The range of alternative decisions available include (1) designating the entire petition area as unsuitable for all surface coal mining operations (grant the petition); (2) designating none of the petition area as unsuitable for surface coal mining operations (deny the petition); (3) designating parts of the petition area as unsuitable for surface coal mining operations (partial designation); and (4) designating the entire petition area as unsuitable for surface coal mining, but allowing underground mining. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Direct employment at the mines would consist of approximately 30 people at each surface mine and 15 people at each underground mine. The severance tax that would be available to the counties is $0.10 per ton of coal; revenues from the severance tax are estimated at approximately $17,500 and $4,000 per year from surface mining and underground mining, respectively. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of Alternative 1 would preclude any surface or underground coal mining within the petition area, both now and in the future, unless the unsuitable designation was terminated by the regulatory authority. Extraction of approximately 47 million short tons of recoverable coal would be precluded. During construction and operation of the typical mining scenario, approximately 400 acres of surface disturbance would occur within the 5-year permit term. There would be a long-term loss of species diversity on the mixed oak/hickory sites that are reclaimed to pine or pasture. Mining and hauling operations would degrade the visual resources of the area during the life of the mine. Overall visual impacts from mining would range from negligible in most areas to potentially significant in the scenic gorge areas. Mining-related noise would have a noticeable impact on the solitude of the area immediately adjacent to the mines site and near the haul roads. Increased traffic on the narrow gravel roads could disturb local communities during coal hauling and would require expensive upgrading and maintenance.

T1  - BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT-FOREST SERVICE INTERCHANGE AFFECTING NATIONWIDE FEDERAL LANDS (EXCLUDING HAWAII AND PUERTO RICO).
AN  - 36400207; 709
AB  - PURPOSE: Interchange of lands and minerals management responsibilities throughout their areas of jurisdiction by the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposed. The purposes of this proposed interchange are (1) to enhance public service, (2) to improve the efficiency of managing natural resources, and (3) to reduce BLM and Forest Service costs of managing lands and minerals. Legislation would be needed to implement the interchange because existing law does not provide authority for such a large exchange of lands or minerals between the two agencies. The interchange is needed to resolve overlapping and intermixed BLM and Forest Service jurisdictions. The lands administered by the two agencies are similar, sharing similar users, management problems, and resources. In 71 communities, both agencies have offices, with separate staffs performing similar duties. The proposed action would transfer approximately 24 million acres of land between BLM and the Forest Service and 204 million acres of minerals jurisdiction from BLM to the Forest Service. Of the 71 communities that now have BLM and Forest Service offices, only 36 communities would have offices for both agencies under the preferred alternative. A total of 350 jobs would be eliminated, and an average $13 million to $15 million would be saved annually after implementation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, BLM would be allowed to require timber harvesters to pay for cleaning up timber cutting debris and reforesting the public lands following the sale. This requirement could result in a slight decrease in soil erosion and minor improvements in aesthetics, water quality, wildlife habitat, and air quality following timber sales. After full implementation, individuals and companies in the minerals industry should experience some reduced costs and reduced time to process mineral applications. Proposed changes in payment formulas would slightly increase land-related payments in eight states. At least 13 communities would increase their employment base. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The administrative changeover, which could decrease the availability of and access to minerals in the short term, may cause some delays in the scheduling and processing of applications. The proposed action would have only a slight adverse effect on federal land-related revenues received by states; such revenues would decrease in only four states and by less than 1 percent. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Multiple Use Sustained Yield Act of 1960 (16 U.S.C. 528 et seq.), Recreation and Public Purposes Act of 1926, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.), Small Tracts Act of 1983 (16 U.S.C. 521 et seq.), and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

AB  - PURPOSE: Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc., Colorado-Ute Electric Association, Inc., Platte River Power Authority, and Western Area Power Administration propose to construct and operate approximately 90 miles of 345-kilovolt (kV) transmission line between Hayden and the Blue River Valley in Colorado.

In addition to installation of the line, the project would involve expansion of existing substation facilities at Hayden and construction of two new substations, one in Middle Park near Kremmling and the other northwest of Dillon. The line would be operated at 230 kV initially. This final supplement to the final environmental impact statement of July 1982 addresses specific corridor routings within the Williams Fork and Blue River drainage areas and identifies the environmentally preferred alternative, which would be a steel lattice structure, single circuit, 345-kV line, initially energized at 230 kV. It would extend from the existing Gore Pass Substation, seven miles northwest of Kremmling in Grand County, to the proposed new Blue River Substation that will be located in Summit County near the Ute Pass Road, approximately one mile from its junction with State Highway 9. After leaving the existing Gore Pass Substation, the proposed line follows the rights-of-way (ROW) of the existing 69-kV and 138-kV transmission lines. At a point two-and-one-half miles south of Kremmling, the proposed line departs from the existing transmission line ROW and proceeds southeast. The action includes minor work at the Gore Pass Substation and at two taps, as well as the removal of two existing transmission lines. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new line and substation facilities would provide a backup transmission path to serve Tri-State's and Platte River's eastern Colorado loads, satisfy long-term needs in meeting energy requirements in the project area, improve system reliability in the area, improve system stability for the Craig and Hayden generating stations, and leave the existing 115-kV and 138-kV lines in operation to provide additional transmission capacity that would function as backup transmission during an outage on another line. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Where transmission towers are placed on cropland or rangeland, minute amounts of these lands would be displaced. Construction activities would disturb critical ranges for elk and mule deer, traditional elk calving areas and ranges, and the mating and nesting areas of greater sandhill cranes, great blue herons, sage grouse, golden eagles, and prairie falcons. The line would traverse the Colorado River floodplain, with as many as seven transmission towers lying within the floodplain. The visual quality of land crossed by the line would be degraded somewhat.

T1  - GARRISON DIVERSION UNIT, PICK-SLOAN MISSOURI BASIN PROGRAM, NORTH DAKOTA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1974 AND THE FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THAT STATEMENT OF JULY 1983).
AN  - 36398414; 737
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of changes to the land and water resources management plan for 85,460 acres of the 250,000-acre Garrison Diversion Irrigation Unit, a component of the Pick-Sloan Missouri River Basin Program in North Dakota, is proposed in this draft supplement to the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) of January 1974 and the final supplement of July 1983 to that statement. The scheme for the 85,460 acres under consideration in the original plan, which include the Lincoln Valley, LaMoure, West Oakes, New Rockford, and Warwick-McVille irrigation areas, would consist of implementation of a wildlife mitigation plan involving land acquisition and other measures to replace areas lost due to structures or diversion of water, installation of a 2,000-cubic-foot outlet in the James River dike to allow evacuation of Lonetree Reservoir water into the James River in the event of an emergency, enlargement of the James River Feeder Canal from a capacity of 450 cubic feet per second (cfs) to a capacity of 1,600 cfs to provide additional emergency evacuation capacity for Lonetree Reservoir via the New Rockford Canal, operation of the Lonetree Reservoir at an elevation of 1,630 feet above mean sea level (MSL) instead of 1,640 feet above MSL as proposed in the FEIS, and construction of facilities to divert surface and irrigation return flows from the New Rockford Irrigation Area to the James River that would otherwise reach the Sheyenne River. The principal changes recommended in this draft supplement are that Lonetree Reservoir be deferred and Sykeston Canal be constructed to provide the water supply link between the McClusky and New Rockford canals. Because of its unique wildlife habitat value, the site known as Kraft Slough would not be developed but would be protected as a wildlife area. Taayer Reservoir would be replaced by a reservoir located near Glover, North Dakota. All irrigation would be restricted to lands that drain or can be drained into the Missouri River basin. Of the total 130,940 acres of irrigation acreage, 17,580 acres are on Indian reservations. Construction of an extensive municipal, rural, and industrial water delivery system to service approximately 376,000 people in as many as 130 towns and cities is proposed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wildlife mitigation measures would replace habitat values for waterfowl species and prevent reduction of area habitat due to intensive agricultural development. Assurance of the ability to evacuate the Lonetree Reservoir would prevent catastrophic flooding in the event of an emergency. Operation of the reservoir at 1,630 feet above MSL would reduce wetland habitat losses involved in operating the reservoir at an elevation of 1,640 feet above MSL. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Measures taken to prevent catastrophic overflows from the Lonetree Reservoir would result in conditions that could cause extensive flooding along the upper James River and could cause occasional minor flooding in this section of the river. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), and Public Law 98-360.

T1  - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE HOUSE RANGE RESOURCE AREA, JUAB AND MILLARD COUNTIES, UTAH.
AN  - 36398244; 717
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan for the public lands and resources in the House Range Resource Area (HRRA) of the Richfield District in west-central Utah is proposed. The lands affected are found in Juab and northern Millard counties. Approximately 2.2 million acres of public lands are within the resource area, ranging in elevation from 4,000 to 12,000 feet. The preferred alternative represents a balance of resource uses in the HRRA. Livestock use would initially be licensed at the existing active preference level. Grazing allotments would continue to be monitored to identify problems, stocking adjustments, and needs. Forage for wildlife would be allocated to maintain current wildlife numbers and to permit continued population growth. Wild horse management would also continue. Land disposals would be limited to those areas identified for such use, and major transportation/utility corridors would be formally designated. Nine areas would be designated for special management. Present oil and gas categories would become more restrictive in those areas. Lands would remain open to mineral entry except where withdrawn. Off-road vehicle (ORV) use would be limited and controlled to protect watershed and wildlife values. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Deer populations would increase over both the short and long terms. The preferred alternative would result in a substantial increase in antelope and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep numbers. The condition of riparian habitat would be improved over the long term. The preferred alternative would benefit the populations and habitat of threatened, endangered, and/or sensitive species. Superior wild horse stock would be introduced periodically under the preferred alternative, improving the herds over the long term. The conflict between livestock and ORV use would be eliminated. Based on the results of the monitoring and improved management, overall vegetation productivity would increase. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: An overall decline in vegetation productivity would occur during the short term on 38 allotments until completion of five years of monitoring, provided these allotments are fully activated to preference. Under the preferred alternative, oil and gas exploration and development would be more restrictive over the long term. During the short term, the preferred alternative might result in adverse impacts to the watershed and soil.

T1  - WESTERN OREGON PROGRAM FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF COMPETING VEGETATION (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JUNE 1983).
AN  - 36395157; 654
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a program to control vegetation that competes with commercially exploitable forest species within five Bureau of Land Management (BLM) districts in western Oregon is proposed. Districts that would be affected by the program include Salem, Eugene, Coos Bay, Roseburg, and Medford. The areas encompass all of western Oregon from Washington to California. This supplement to the draft environmental impact statement presents a risk analysis of the impacts to human health from the use of herbicides. Workers and the general public were considered at risk from herbicide application operations. Large margins of safety for every category of public exposure are seen for all individuals. The risk analyses show that the general public could receive doses of herbicides, except for triclopyr, repeatedly over the years and not suffer toxic effects. All approved methods of vegetation control would be available for use in an integrated program. Annual treatments would include approximately 20,000 acres of burning, 41,000 acres of herbicide application, 14,000 acres of mechanical treatments, and 17,000 acres of manual treatments. Burning, herbicide application, scarification, and manual treatments would be used for site preparation. Chemical and manual methods would be used for release and precommercial thinning. Roadside vegetation and noxious weeds would be controlled via mechanical, chemical, and manual methods. Streamside buffers would be provided in accordance with BLM policy. Estimated cost of the program is $12.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Control of vegetation that competes with commercially exploitable timber would increase earnings in the western part of the state by $49.0 million and would increase employment rolls by 2,545 jobs. The program would aid in meeting regional needs for timber products. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Prescribed burning would increase productivity on 54 percent more acres burned each year. Smoke and sedimentation levels would increase somewhat, and the number of water samples containing herbicides would double. Slight increases in the temperature of surface flows would be likely. Moderate reductions in the big game population would occur, and a reduction in the diversity of terrestrial habitat for small birds and mammals would result. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 83-0341D, Volume 7, Number 7.

T1  - PROPOSED 1985 AMENDMENTS TO THE CALIFORNIA DESERT CONSERVATION AREA PLAN, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36388723; 659
AB  - PURPOSE: The 1985 review of the California Desert Plan is proposed. Under the preferred alternative 18 of 20 proposed amendments would be accepted and two would be rejected. Amendments fall into several categories, including desert-wide amendments, multiple-use class changes, site-specific vehicle access changes, livestock grazing adjustments, and deletion of wild horse and burro areas. Desert-wide Class C acreage would remain at 1,655,940; Class L would change from 6,259,126 to 6,261,147; Class M would change from 3,365,184 to 3,428,954; Class I would change from 522,610 to 538,565; and unclassified land would change from 314,000 to 232,254. The Navy lease area south of the crest of Superstition Mountain and east of Target 103 and the Target 103 Range Safety Zone (RSZ) B lands would be designated Multiple Use Class (MUC) I (27,780 acres). In addition, the Navy would agree to manage several small parcels of RSZ A land south of the crest of Superstition Mountain for intensive recreation, even though the parcels would be withdrawn to the Navy. This would incorporate into MUC I the major concentrations of existing recreational use and the majority of lands most frequently used for competitive events. Lands around the Bullhead and Camelot drop zones between the Ancient Dry Lake and Plaster City Open Area would remain unclassified and would be withdrawn to the Navy. Two 40-acre temporary closures would be established to protect sensitive cultural resource values. This closure would be lifted once archaeological values are mitigated. The remainder of the Navy lease lands would be designated MUC L. Public lands adjacent to the northeast boundary of the Navy lease area would be reclassified from MUC M to MUC L (3,920 acres). Public lands east of the Ancient Dry Lake along Wheeler Road would be reclassified from MUC M to MUC I. These would include lands used for competitive events and the Imperial Valley Rifle and Pistol Association's lease for a shooting range. Approximately 40,700 acres of unclassified Navy lease lands and 500 acres of Plaster City Open Area lands would be redesignated as limited to approved routes of travel. Competitive events and general public access would be permitted on all approved routes within these limited areas. Areas and trails would be located to minimize damage to resources of the public lands and to prevent impairment of wilderness values. Special attention would be given to protecting endangered or threatened species and their habitats. Approximately 27,800 acres of unclassified Navy lease lands and 1,100 acres of Bureau of Land Management lands along Wheeler Road would be redesignated as open areas. Recreation management in the RSZ B and C areas north and south of the Navy lease lands would remain unchanged. POSITIVE IMPACTS: If vehicle use restrictions are enforced, additional surface impacts would be confined to current levels. Limiting surface disturbance translates into a net increase in the protection of cultural resource values. A positive recognition of off-road vehicle (ORV) recreation opportunities would result. Longstanding ORV use of the Superstition Mountain area would be recognized and made legitimate through designation of 27,780 acres of open area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Several types of adverse impacts would affect cultural resources as a result of the proposed action, including destruction of all or part of a site; isolation from or alteration of the property's surrounding environment; introduction of visual, audible, or atmospheric elements that are out of character with the property; and neglect of a property, resulting in its deterioration or destruction. Military activity would create substantial surface disturbances. Impacts from ORV travel include burial of artifacts and features, destruction of the environmental data, and increases in erosion. The archaeological resources and Native American values in the Class I area would be subject to intense impacts and possibly a great loss of integrity. Several types of negative impacts might occur to wildlife as a result of the proposed action, including reduced food base, reduced cover, and reduced sites for nesting and burrowing; individual animals would be crushed and displaced. Noise resulting from vehicle use may impact wildlife. In addition to ORV-related impacts, Naval activities would occur in these areas, including habitat-disturbing activities such as bombing, parachute dropping, use of heavy equipment, use of flares, localized strafing, and cross-country personnel movement.

T1  - MEAD-PHOENIX +/- 500-KV TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, ARIZONA AND NEVADA.
AN  - 36384505; 650
AB  - PURPOSE: Western Area Power Administration, Salt River Project (SRP), Southern California Public Power Authority, and Modesto/Santa Clara/Redding Public Power Agency propose to construct and operate a 500-kilovolt (kV) direct-current transmission line from the proposed Eastwing transmission terminal near Phoenix, Arizona to the Mead Substation near Boulder City, Nevada. The 243.5-mile transmission line would parallel existing line over 235 miles of its route. The alignment of the line would cross portions of Eldorado Valley, Lake Mead National Resource Area, Eldorado Mountains, Detrital Valley, White Hills, Hualapai Valley, Big Sandy River Valley, Burro Creek, Santa Maria River, Aguila Valley, Vulture Mountains, and Hassayampa Plain and Hassayampa River. In addition to the transmission line, project features would include substations and converter terminals within the existing Mead site and on the east side of the Agua Fria River, associated communication facilities, access roads, and ground electrodes in Detrital Valley northwest of the White Tank Mountains. Power transfer capacity would initially be rated at 1,600 megawatts (MW) on a continual basis, with an ultimate transmission capability of 2,200 MW. Project construction began in 1984, with completion scheduled for 1988. Cost of the project, which would have a life of 35 years, would be $500 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the line would help meet expected electrical peak load increases for the California, Nevada, and Arizona areas served by the Western Systems Coordinating Council. As a result, the line would reduce dependence on scarce oil and gas resources, provide an outlet for sale of SRP's off-peak surplus capacity and a path for delivery of Arizona's entitlement to power generated by the Hoover Generating Station, provide a link for movement of power between the Pacific Northwest and Pacific Southwest, and provide out-of-basin support during periods of severe air quality degradation in Los Angeles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction and maintenance of the line would degrade archaeological resources along 26.1 miles of the route and historical resources along 22.8 miles of the route. Sites sacred to Native Americans would be impacted along 8.0 miles. The line would place stress on 2.7 miles of special-status riparian habitat, impacting endangered plant and wildlife species. LEGAL MANDATES: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 84-0161D, Volume 8, Number 4.

T1  - STAGECOACH RESERVOIR PROJECT, ROUTT COUNTY, COLORADO.
AN  - 36384622; 680
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of the Stagecoach Reservoir Project, located in Routt County in northwest Colorado along the Yampa River in the Upper Yampa River valley, is proposed. The project would provide water for agricultural, industrial, municipal, and recreational uses; for fish and wildlife; and for hydroelectric power generation. Stagecoach Dam would be constructed of roller-compacted concrete, a method that saves on material and material-handling costs. The dam would be 145 feet high, its crest would be 450 feet long and 24 feet wide, and its volume would be 114,000 cubic yards. The reservoir would have a capacity of 33,720 acre-feet and would be 2.9 miles long. Material for the dam would be obtained from the reservoir basin. The outlet and diversion works would be designed to pass 450 cubic feet per second (cfs). Minimum releases would be the lesser of 40 cfs or the natural inflow. A multilevel outlet would regulate the releases to obtain optimum downstream temperatures for fish. An 800-kilowatt hydroelectric generating plant would be located at the foot of the dam. Recreation facilities would include a 100-unit campground, 50 picnic units, 2 marinas, a swimming area, and trails. Mitigation for wildlife losses would consist of the acquisition and dedication of approximately 1,288 acres of private land for elk, the development of 125 acres of prime waterfowl habitat, and the creation of 150 acres of wetlands that would result from project irrigation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Recreational possibilities in the area would be greatly enhanced, and Routt County and Colorado would benefit economically, especially during the spring, summer, and fall. Potential for flooding would be reduced, because flows in the streams would be controlled. The recommended plan would result in considerable enhancement of the fishery below Stagecoach Dam because of clearer water, increased minimum flows, improved water temperatures, cleaning of the cobble substrate, decreased streambank erosion and sediment deposition, and reduced maximum flows. The recommended plan would result in a net gain of approximately 450 acres of agricultural land. Recreational use in the project area would increase by approximately 73,000 recreation-days annually. The project would create some 200 jobs. The anticipated recreational use should help to balance the economy of the county and the local communities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Both permanent and temporary losses of vegetation would occur, primarily to agricultural and mountain brush communities. Permanent losses of vegetation, mostly from reservoir inundation, would total approximately 753 acres. Approximately 120 acres of willow and 160 acres of riparian habitats would be lost. Revegetation of native grasses, brush, and riparian communities would require some 25 years to return to conditions visually comparable to those existing. Approximately 170 critical winter habitat units for elk and 93 willow habitat units would be lost. Some minor big game migration routes would also be lost. The loss of wetlands and riparian willow thickets would create a loss of breeding habitat for nongame shorebirds and songbirds and many small nongame mammals, furbearers, and amphibians. Local traffic would increase.

T1  - PROPOSED WEST DESERT PUMPING PROJECT, GREAT SALT LAKE, UTAH.
AN  - 36396603; 695
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of a pumping plant and associated canals and dikes to create evaporation ponds in the west desert to the west of the Great Salt Lake (GSL) in Box Elder and Tooele counties, Utah is proposed. The primary purpose of the West Desert Pumping Project would be to lower the level of the GSL, reducing or controlling flooding of the lake. The preferred alternative would involve construction of several structures in the area, including a new breach in the southern Pacific Railroad Causeway near Lakeside to divert water from the south arm of the GSL. Water passing through the breach would flow into a canal formed by an isolation dike built in the north arm. The intake canal would travel approximately 10 miles along the Southern Pacific Railroad grade to a pumping station near Hogup Ridge. The pumping station would use three diesel powered pumps to pump an average of 2,400 to 2,500 cubic feet of water per second up approximately 25 feet to a discharge canal. This canal would transport the water to the north side of the railroad grade near the northern end of the Newfoundland Mountains. The water would then spread out and move south under the railroad grade and along the west side of the Newfoundland Mountains. Two dikes would contain the pond. A control weir in the Newfoundland Dike would maintain the maximum level of the West Pond at elevation 4,218 and at a size of approximately 375,000 acres. In the winter, overflow from the West Pond would spill over the weir and flow north across the mud flat to an area near the pumping plant and would collect in the East Pond, which would be about 114,000 acres in size. The water would then spill into an outlet siphon near the pumping plant, which would divert the brine into the north arm. The project would cost approximately $75 million to build, and construction would take approximately two years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Kaiser Chemical might be benefited by increased brine flow caused by groundwater recharge from the West Pond. The lake would essentially not rise from present levels, creating significant flood control benefits to shoreline areas. All sectors would be benefited, especially the transportation sector. The wetlands, farmlands, and cultural resources would be protected. The pumping project would lower the level of the lake relatively rapidly reaching elevation 4,205 in a few years and then holding the lake at that level or lower. A major benefit would be the drying out of areas presently flooded. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Bonneville Salt Flats would be unusable, due to groundwater near the surface. Grazing access to the Newfoundland Mountains would be restricted for 19 years. In winter, there would be an increase in winter fog around the GSL and an increase in precipitation along the Wasatch Front. This would impact the Air Force operations on the Utah Test and Training Range. Also, the West Pond would restrict flight operations, because Air Force regulations do not allow low-level flights over open water. LEGAL MANDATES: Clean Air Act of 1977, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7411 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

T1  - UTAH STATEWIDE WILDERNESS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT.
AN  - 36395828; 662
AB  - PURPOSE: Recommendation of 1.9 million acres of public land in 58 Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs) in Utah as suitable for wilderness designation and 1.3 million acres as nonsuitable for wilderness designation is proposed. The 82 WSAs analyzed are located in all five Utah Bureau of Land Management (BLM) districts; however, nearly 87 percent of the WSAs is in the southern half of the state. Upon designation, federal acquisition of up to 172 sections (107,870.95 acres) of the 300 sections of state land within the WSAs could occur, and this acquisition would be authorized by purchase or exchange. The 1.9 million acres of wilderness would be withdrawn from mineral entry and closed to new mineral leasing and sale. Development work, extraction, and patenting would be allowed to continue on 10,868 existing mining claims, provided they are valid. After designation, existing oil and gas leases would be phased out at expiration unless an oil and gas find in commercial quantities is shown. Of the 1.3 million acres not designated as wilderness, 1.2 million acres would be open to future mineral location. Domestic livestock grazing would continue to occur in the wilderness. The 45,514 animal unit months (AUMs) in the designated areas would remain available to livestock as presently allotted. New water resource facilities or watershed activities not related to rangeland or wildlife management would be allowed only if enhancing to wilderness, if necessary to correct conditions imminently hazardous to life or property, or if authorized by the president pursuant to the Wilderness Act. Wildlife transplants or habitat improvements would be allowed only if they are compatible with wilderness values. The lands would be closed to off-road vehicle (ORV) use. Specific wilderness management plans would be developed to govern the use and protection of the 58 wilderness areas. Harvest of forest products in the wilderness would not be allowed except for harvest of pinyon nuts or noncommercial gathers of dead-and-down wood, if accomplished by other than mechanical means. Visual resources would be managed in accordance with Visual Resources Management Class I standards, which generally allow for only natural ecological change. Measures to control fire, insects, noxious weeds, or disease would be taken only in instances that threaten human life, property, or high-value resources on adjacent nonwilderness lands or where unacceptable change to the wilderness resource would result if the measures were not taken. Hunting would be allowed subject to applicable laws and regulations, but use would be limited to nonmotorized means. Control of predators would be allowed to protect threatened or endangered wildlife species or on a case-by-case basis to prevent special and serious losses of domestic livestock, but only under conditions that would ensure minimum disturbance to wilderness values. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 59 percent of the acreage having naturalness values in the 82 WSAs would be protected by wilderness designation; 73 percent of the acreage having outstanding opportunities for solitude would be protected; and 79 percent of the acreage having outstanding opportunities for primitive and unconfined recreation in 74 of the 82 WSAs would be protected. Management of existing or proposed wilderness or lands managed for primitive values by the Forest Service, National Park Service, or Ute Indian Tribe would be complemented along 231 miles of common boundaries. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 50 percent of the potential oil and gas resources and 40 to 50 percent of locatable minerals could be foregone. Eleven proposed reservoirs and 24,479 acres of land treatments would not be allowed. Costs for facilities in wilderness areas would increase. Ranching practices of using motorized vehicles for hauling water and salt, maintaining improvements, and checking on livestock could be constrained. Constraints on predator control in eight wilderness areas where sheep grazing occurs could result in additional livestock losses. The alternative would conflict with county plans in 13 counties in Utah. An estimated $2.2 billion of annual existing and potential federal revenues from oil and gas leasing and livestock grazing would be lost. LEGAL MANDATES: Clean Air Act of 1977, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7411 et seq.), Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Wild and Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act of 1971 (16 U.S.C. 1331 et seq.), and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T1  - Family Talks for Native Americans: The Leaders's Guide. Listening to and Talking with Indian Children about Sexuality. Revised Edition.
AN  - 63313399; ED266924
AB  - Adapted for Indian tribes of the southwest, this leader's guide outlines a training program designed to help Indian people act effectively as the primary sex educators of their children. The guide focuses on ways to help small groups understand attitudes, values, and facts about sexuality and acquire parenting skills such as communicating with children, clarifying one's own values, and reassuring children about the normalcy of their growth and change. Material is organized under three group training sessions with a detailed sequence of activities and suggestions for leaders included for each session. Session 1 covers establishing a comfortable climate for the group and introducing the topic and the participants. Session 2 focuses on learning to talk about sex. Activities include small group discussion, films, and communication games for speaker-listener pairs. Session 3 explores the child's view of sexual issues and the value of touch in Indian culture. Additional information includes discussion of the changes made in adapting the program for Indian cultures, evaluation forms for participants, and self-evaluation questionnaires for leaders. The bibliography includes titles of 8 books, articles, and films used in the training program and 37 additional books and audiovisual resources. (JHZ)

T1  - LITTLE SNAKE RESOURCE AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN, MOFFAT, RIO BLANCO, AND ROUTT COUNTIES, COLORADO.
AN  - 36386818; 660
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed for the public lands in the Little Snake Resource Area located in Moffat, Rio Blanco, and Routt counties in northwest Colorado. The resource area encompasses 3.2 million acres. Under the preferred alternative, 6,180 acres of commercial forestland and 38,000 acres of productive operable woodland would be intensively managed. A woodland management plan would be developed for the Diamond Peak /Middle Mountain and Douglas Mountain areas. Approximately 638,800 acres, containing an estimated 5.8 billion tons of coal, would be available for further consideration for leasing. Approximately 1.05 million acres would be open to leasing for gas and oil, with standard lease terms; 685,927 acres would be open with seasonal restrictions. An anticipated grazing level of 148,821 animal unit months (AUMs) would be allowed. Habitat would be provided to support big game populations of 102,000 mule deer, 18,400 elk, 7,500 pronghorn sheep, and 70 bighorn sheep area-wide. Designation of the Limestone Ridge research natural area (RNA), and the Cross Mountain Canyon, Irish Canyon, and Lookout Mountain Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACECs) would be supported to protect sensitive plants. Approximately 6,000 acres of commercial forestland and 37,600 acres of productive operable woodland would be intensively managed. Limited recreation management would be provided in Irish Canyon ACEC; Little Yampa/Juniper Canyon and Cross Mountain would be administered as special recreation management areas. Cedar Mountain and two areas on Cold Spring Mountain would be managed as recreation priority areas. No rights-of-way corridors would be designated; 70,770 acres would be identified as unsuitable for and 147,965 acres would be designated as sensitive to routing of major rights-of-way. The remainder of the resource area would be considered open. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Sufficient coal would be available to meet demand. Additional protection would be provided to sensitive plants. Cumulative management of soil, watershed, fire, wilderness, natural history, and off-road vehicle (ORV) designation would have an overall beneficial impact on wildlife habitat. Watershed rehabilitation projects, focusing on salinity control and soil stabilization, would improve soil conditions in some areas. Wilderness resource values would be preserved on 36,240 acres. Remnant plant association and scenic quality would be protected on 22,530 acres. Beneficial impacts would result to the land adjustment program due to the lack of overall restrictions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: A localized short-term adverse impact would occur to wildlife habitat. Upper Yampa River water quality is expected to be adversely affected during low flows over the long-term. Wilderness resource values would be adversely impacted on 55,847 acres. Remnant plant associations and paleontologic values on 13,835 acres could be damaged or destroyed. Rural and urbanized settings would increase by 270,355 and 59,070 acres, respectively. The open ORV designation could adversely impact 29,415 cultural sites. Nonmotorized settings would decrease by 19,590 acres. Semiprimitive motorized settings would decrease by 277,163 acres. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701).

T1  - ERADICATION OF CANNABIS ON NON-FEDERAL AND INDIAN LANDS IN THE CONTIGUOUS UNITED STATES AND HAWAII (SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1985).
AN  - 36402798; 610
AB  - PURPOSE: Eradication of cannabis on nonfederal and Indian lands in the contiguous United States and Hawaii is proposed. In this draft supplement, the herbicide exposure levels expected under routine and worst-case circumstances to the estimated safe doses for 2,4-D and paraquat are compared, based on newly available information. New information from the Environmental Protection Agency on paraquat mutagenicity is also incorporated in the analyses of cancer risk. The preferred eradication method would utilize the full range of manual and mechanical methods and the directed and broadcast methods of applying paraquat, 2,4-D, or glyphosate. Preferably, all available disposal methods would be used, including haul and burn, haul and bury, shred and till, and posting of the area. Selection of the eradication or disposal method would be based on such criteria as available manpower and equipment; number of plants and configuration of crops; proximity of cannabis to other crops, bodies of water, human habitation, and developed recreation areas; topography of the area; foliage density and plant height; soil type; accessibility; weather conditions; and time of year and maturity of the plants. For mature cannabis plants, paraquat would be the preferred herbicide; young plants would receive applications of 2,4-D and glyphosate. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The eradication program would reduce the available supply of illegal marijuana. The preferred alternative specifically would allow state and local law enforcement agencies to select the most appropriate eradication or disposal methods for their area. Landowners whose land was being used by others for marijuana cultivation would regain the full use of their lands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Disposal methods and herbicide applications could affect nontarget plant and animal species and would expose workers to occupational safety and health hazards. Indians and native Hawaiians could oppose herbicide use on their lands. Some sprayed marijuana could reach consumers. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Environmental Pesticide Control Act of 1972 (7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 85-0252D, Volume 9, Number 6.

T1  - American Indians Today: Answers to Your Questions.
AN  - 63225971; ED280664
AB  - This booklet attempts to answer briefly the most common questions about American Indians asked by students, people who believe they have Indian ancestors, individuals who want to visit or volunteer to work on a reservation, or those who want to know the current Indian policy. Separate sections outline President Reagan's American Indian policy; current federal appropriations for Indian affairs; statistics about the 1,418,195 American Indians, Eskimos, and Aleuts from about 504 federally recognized tribes who occupy about 300 federal Indian reservations and 53 million acres of trust lands; programs and responsibilities of the Bureau of Indian Affairs; and demographic information on Indian birth rates, infant death rates, life expectancy, causes of death, and suicide rates. A section of questions and answers defines/describes what an Indian is, what a tribe is, how Indians become tribal members, what an Indian reservation is, the number of Indian languages, military service of Indians, relationship to the federal government, citizenship and voting rights, legal rights and obligations, treaty relationships, and tribal governments. Among additional information sources presented are a selected 61-item bibliography, 5 sources of Indian photographs, a list of Bureau of Indian Affairs Area Offices, and a list of 14 national Indian organizations.

T1  - Proposed fish passage improvements at Three Miles Falls diversion Dam, Umatilla River, Oregon: Finding of no significant impact.
AN  - 15988952; 2571062
AB  - The Bureau of Reclamation proposes to administer the construction of fish passage and protective facilities at Three Miles Falls Diversion Dam on the Umatilla River in Oregon, USA, to increase the numbers of anadromous fish. The Bonneville Power Administration proposes to provide funding for the project. These agencies' action would implement section 904(d) of the Northwest Power Planning Council's Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program which addresses the provision of offsite enhancement to compensate for fish and wildlife losses caused by hydroelectric project development and operations throughout the Columbia River Basin. This Finding of No Significant Impact is the National Environmental Policy Act decision document for both agencies. The proposed action would improve both upstream and downstream passage by providing a new right bank ladder on Three Mile Falls Diversion Dam, modifying the existing left bank ladder, and installing rotary drum fish screens and related structures on the adjacent West Extension Irrigation District Canal.

T1  - Flocculation and dewatering of montmorillonite modified by ion exchange.
AN  - 14401638; 1255652
AB  - The Bureau of Mines is investigating a method of dewatering flocculated fine-particle waste that involves treating the waste with a high-molecular-weight polymer such as polyethylene oxide (PEO) followed by dewatering on a static screen and/or in a trommel. Dilution of the polymer solution used for dewatering and use of the ion-exchanged form of the montmorillonite clay were found to be major factors determining the amount of polymer required to dewater clay-containing slurries. The amount of polymer, A, required to dewater ion-exchanged montmorillonite can be described. The concentration of the polymer solution is important because it affects the radius of the polymer coil in solution and hence its ease of transfer to a bridging configuration by shear. The constant, n, a function of the charge to hydrated radius of the exchange ion, relates to the strength of the bond between the polymer and the surface of the clay through a water bridge. The constant k is related to the hydrated radius for sodium or to the unhydrated radius for the other exchange ions.

T1  - RED RIM, WYOMING, PETITION EVALUATION DOCUMENT.
AN  - 36382969; 563
AB  - PURPOSE: The National Wildlife Federation and Wyoming Wildlife Federation have petitioned the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to designate 19,452 acres of land in Wyoming, known as the Red Rim area, as unsuitable for surface coal mining. The area lies on a checkerboard pattern land ownership area that includes both federal and private lands. Approximately 9,723 acres are privately owned by Rocky Mountain Energy Company, a subsidiary of the Union Pacific Corporation. The remaining 9,729 acres of land are federally owned. The area extends southwestward from a point approximately 10 miles west of Rawlins to a point 2 miles northeast of the Fillmore Ranch. Alternatives considered to the petition include designation of the entire petition area as unsuitable for all surface coal mining operations; rejection of designation of any of the petition area as unsuitable for surface coal mining operations; designation of parts of the area as unsuitable for surface coal mining if it was found that important natural systems could be significantly damaged because of mining or that reclamation was not technologically and economically feasible; and designation of the entire petition area as unsuitable for surface mining, while allowing underground mining. The current management regime for the area resulted in initial rejection of the petitioners' request to designate the land as unsuitable. Subsequent supplements added to the petition by the petitioners have resulted in the current reconsideration of the petition. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Designation of part or all of the area as unsuitable for surface mining would protect the area's natural resources, particularly big game range. Rejection of the petition would allow developers access to 69.3 million tons of coal. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining of the area would destroy habitat for numerous small and big game and other wildlife, thereby reducing the overall carrying capacity of the area. Existing vegetation and soil profiles on 12,000 acres of land would be destroyed, and the topography of the area would be altered. Mining would break up and mix the lenticular beds of sandstone, siltstone, and shale that constitute the overburden and interburden in the area, and some paleontological resources would be lost. Designation of all or part of the area as unsuitable for mining would result in the loss of the potential energy value of the coal reserves. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Coal Leasing Amendments Act of 1976 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).

T1  - JAMES CREEK COAL PREFERENCE RIGHT LEASE APPLICATION, RIO BLANCO COUNTY, COLORADO.
AN  - 36401876; 560
AB  - PURPOSE: Leasing and subsequent development of a coal Preference Right Lease Application (PRLA) located approximately nine miles northeast of Meeker, in Rio Blanco County, Colorado are proposed. The proposed development would include portions of the PRLA and an adjacent federal lease. The PRLA covers 5,099.31 acres, with elevations ranging from 6,640 to 8,673 feet. Narrow valleys and hills with steep slopes characterize the area. Land uses include 5,081 acres for rangeland, 15 acres for agricultural land, and approximately 3 acres for residences. Approximately 85 percent of the PRLA surface estate is nonfederally owned. Of this, some 2,250 acres are part of the Jensen State Wildlife Area. The rest of the nonfederally owned surface estate is held by private individuals. The Federal Government owns all mineral rights in the project area. Consolidation Coal Company (Consol) proposes to mine portions of the PRLA and an adjacent federal lease. The total area to be disturbed would be approximately 5,200 acres over 30 years. This includes actual mining and permanent facilities--shops, bathhouses, and the like. The mine would produce 10 million tons of coal per year during full production and 280 million tons over the life of the mine. Approximately two-thirds of the production, or 190 million tons, would come from the PRLA. Because elk use the area intensively and much of the area is owned by the Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW), Consol has submitted a comprehensive mitigative plan. In the opinion of the CDOW, mitigative measures currently proposed and others that may be identified through further requirements of a mine plan should reduce the impacts to elk to an acceptable level. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 29 million tons of coal would be removed from total PRLA reserves, and would be marketed. There would be an increase in the local population and in tax revenues from increased business activity. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Soil material and vegetation would be removed from some 100 acres of land. There would be a direct loss, through vegetation removal, of approximately 100 acres of elk critical winter habitat and spring-through-fall deer habitat. In a worst-case situation, local stream flow, springs, and seeps could be interrupted or lost, which could inflict significant adverse impacts to local agricultural, rangeland, and wildlife habitat use. There would be an undetermined escalation of deer and elk road kills, poaching, and habitat degradation related to human population influx, and anticipated rises in game damage to agricultural crops. There would be a loss of approximately 100 livestock animal unit months annually throughout the mine life and short-term inaccessibility to key grazing areas along lower James Creek. Facilities and roads would visually dominate the landscape of the valley floor. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Coal Leasing Amendments Act of 1976 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED PACIFIC TEXAS PIPELINE COMPANY PROJECT, CALIFORNIA, ARIZONA, NEW MEXICO, AND TEXAS.
AN  - 36404318; 561
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of a 1,030-mile-long, 42-inch-diameter buried oil pipeline from Los Angeles, California to Midland, Texas is proposed. The pipeline would begin at a terminal storage facility on a landfill island to be constructed in the port of Los Angeles. A channel and turning basin would be dredged to 75 feet below mean lower low water, and the dredged material would be used to construct the 115-acre island. The pipeline would proceed east, approximately paralleling Interstate 10 to Blythe, California. From Blythe the pipeline would continue east, crossing the Colorado River and traveling north of the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge, parallel to and in a common utility corridor with an existing natural gas line through Arizona and New Mexico to Pine Springs, Texas. From Pine Springs the line would continue to parallel natural gas pipelines, proceeding northeasterly, reentering New Mexico, and then traveling due east to a receiving terminal at Midland, Texas. The project also would involve construction of a 70-acre tank farm in the port of Los Angeles, a 100-acre tank farm in Midland, and 11 pumping stations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline would transport up to 900,000 barrels per day of surplus Alaska North Slope, California outer continental shelf, and Pacific rim crude oil from the west coast to existing crude oil networks that service refineries in the midwest and on the Gulf coast. Pipeline transmission within the United States would be more reliable and more efficient than existing service by ships through the Panama Canal or by pipeline through Panama. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the landfill island would destroy benthic habitat and would temporarily disrupt foraging areas of the endangered California least tern. The island would be located in an area of potential seismic activity, raising safety and oil spill issues. The pipeline would cross environmentally sensitive areas, including the Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard critical habitat and the Muleshoe Nature Preserve. The crossing of rivers and streams would create temporary construction impacts and a potential for oil spills into these waters. Major oil spills could contaminate sensitive groundwater basins.

T1  - LANDER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, WYOMING.
AN  - 36392747; 513
AB  - PURPOSE: Future management options for approximately 2.5 million surface acres and 2.7 million acres of federal mineral estate administered by the Bureau of Land Management are proposed. The Lander Resource Area encompasses parts of five counties in west-central Wyoming (most of Fremont, and small portions of Natrona, Sweetwater, Carbon, and Hot Springs counties), but does not include lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service or the Bureau of Indian Affairs. When completed, the Lander Resource Management Plan will provide a comprehensive framework for managing and allocating public land and resource uses in the resource area. Under the preferred alternative, the overall theme for management of the oil and gas resources is to make public lands available for leasing to the maximum extent possible, while giving due consideration to the protection of other significant resource values. All of the sightly more than 2.7 million acres of federal mineral estate within the resource area would be open to leasing. All but approximately 12,000 acres of the open acreage would be managed under a management prescription that would allow for enhanced management of the oil and gas resources. All federal lands within the resource area would be open to locatable mineral exploration and development unless specifically withdrawn or segregated from appropriation under the mining laws. Under the preferred alternative, that portion of the resource area that would be closed to locatable mineral exploration and development would increase by 30,000 acres to approximately 2 percent of the total federal mineral estate. This plan would allow prospecting, exploration, and development and leasing of phosphate reserves. Improvement of acquatic and riparian habitats for fish, beaver, moose, and many other animals would receive top priority in the South Pass and Beaver Creek Management units, high priority in the Green Mountain Management Unit, and special attention in the Red Canyon Management Unit. Improvement of important big game ranges would receive high priority. Sawtimber volumes offered would be approximately 2 million board feet per year, and minor forest product volumes would be 1.5 to 2.0 million board feet. The primary objective of the harvesting program would be salvaging the dead and dying timber and regenerating the harvested areas. Prescribed burning techniques would be included in management plans for conifer and aspen stands. The preferred alternative would retain the majority of the 2.5 million acres in federal ownership. It appears that 108 tracts, encompassing 13,000 acres, could be considered for future disposal through sale or exchange. Seven existing recreational sites would be managed and maintained. The preferred alternative for approximately 60 percent of the lands is full suppression of wildfires with limited or restricted use of heavy equipment. Present livestock grazing management would continue until monitoring results were available. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Mineral resources would benefit by being available for discovery and development over almost the entire resource area. Oil and gas development would impact soil, watershed, and air quality. Large timber harvest would create employment and generate revenues in the short term. Some protection would be offered to a variety of fish and wildlife species. Fourteen culture properties would be protected through enhanced management. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Timber harvesting would increase erosion. Off-road vehicle (ORV) use would result in soil compaction and accelerated wind and water erosion. Habitat losses caused by oil and gas activities could significantly impact several big game herds over the next 60 years. In certain areas, large timber would be depleted in the short term. Increases in access roads could permanently remove land from the forest land base (2.0 to 2.5 acres per mile) in the long term.

T1  - RENEWED WITHDRAWAL OF GROOM MOUNTAIN RANGE ADDITION TO NELLIS AIR FORCE BOMBING AND GUNNERY RANGE, LINCOLN COUNTY, NEVADA.
AN  - 36392113; 503
AB  - PURPOSE: Renewal of the temporary withdrawal of 89,600 acres of public land from settlement, sale, location, or entry is proposed for the Groom Mountain Range, located west of Alamo, Lincoln County, Nevada adjacent to the Nellis Air Force Range (NAFR)/Nevada Test Site complex. The temporary withdrawal expires December 31, 1987; the proposed renewal for withdrawal would be for a period of 25 years, with an option to renew for 25 additional years. The withdrawal would provide (1) a security and public safety buffer for conducting weapons systems testing and training for electronic warfare, tactical maneuvering, and air support (not to include air-to-ground or targeting activities) and (2) other defense related purposes consistent with and involving no greater adverse impact on the withdrawn land and its resources than overflights pursuant to the military tactical training. The withdrawn area may be fenced to exclude entry by unauthorized personnel and animals that might affect the military missions being conducted. The Air Force has guaranteed access to the present owners of existing valid mining claims and the present permittee on the Bald Mountain grazing allotment. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would prevent compromising safety and national security. The NAFR is the most sophisticated range in the Air Force inventory, and although some of the capability for training is duplicated at other facilities, they do not have the land space required for changing training scenarios, thus providing stereotype training. The climate of southern Nevada is conducive to year-round training and testing operations, and NAFR is large enough to prevent stereotyped training. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Negative effects of this closure would include loss of a high potential recreation area for hunting, camping, hiking, and off-road vehicle use; foregone mineral exploration and development in the Groom and Don Dale Mining Districts; a possible decrease in the market value of the D/4 Enterprises in Tikaboo Valley; inability to develop groundwater resources of the area; possible over-grazing of the Bald Mountain and Naquinta Springs grazing allotments due to restricted regulatory access to the Bureau of Land Management; loss of the opportunity to conduct archaeological and ecological research in the area; and a further reduction in the overall accessible public land base in Nevada. Lincoln County would experience a reduction of potential economic activities and the taxes derived therefrom during the period of the withdrawal. LEGAL MANDATES: Engle Act of 1958 (43 U.S.C. 155 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), and Public Law 98-485.

T1  - PROPOSED OJO LINE EXTENSION, 345 KV OVERHEAD TRANSMISSION AND SUBSTATION PROJECT, NORTH-CENTRAL NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36382887; 508
AB  - PURPOSE: The Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) is proposing to construct a 345 kilovolt (kV) overhead transmission line and associated substations in north-central New Mexico. The preferred alternative would include the construction of an alternating current (AC) overhead transmission line and associated substations to correct inadequacies in PNM's transmission system that are predicted to occur in the north-central New Mexico area during the summer of 1987. The proposed transmission line would be a single-circuit 345 kV line utilizing a preferred structure type of guyed lattice steel and self-supporting lattice steel towers for the western alternative, exclusive of a two to three mile portion within the Los Alamos National Laboratory site. These structures would be used to minimize the impact of the line on long-term facility planning. The proposed Ojo Line Extension Project includes two alternatives: (1) approximately 45 to 47 miles of 345 kV overhead transmission line from a new substation in the Coyote, New Mexico area, through the Jemez Mountains, to a new substation in the Los Alamos area, and then continuing on into PNM's existing Norton Switching Station (the Coyote-Los Alamos-Norton Alternative); or (2) approximately 45 to 50 miles of overhead transmission line from PNM's existing Ojo Switching Station to Norton Station, continuing on from Norton Station into a new substation in the Los Alamos area (the Ojo-Norton-Los Alamos Alternative). The rough working estimate of total direct project costs for the Ojo Line Extension Project is $29 million to $34 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Overload conditions on the Plains Electric Generation and Transmission Cooperative's (PGT's) 115 kV transmission system from Ojo to Norton Switching Stations would be eliminated. Delivery of power to the Santa Fe area would be enhanced. The project also satisfies the requirements of the Los Alamos Service Area: operational flexibility, minimum voltage fluctuations, at least two independent power sources, future expansion flexibility, and a coordinated effort between all affected utilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The soil structure may be permanently or temporarily altered. An unavoidable increase in the rates of soil erosion along the transmission line route will result. Vegetation would be unavoidably damaged or destroyed by construction activities. In areas where vegetation is destroyed or significantly damaged, some wildlife habitat will likewise be destroyed or altered until revegetation is accomplished. Some occasional noise, dust, and smoke, both from construction activity and vehicle movement, will be unavoidable. The primary long-term consequence would be the impact of transmission structures, conductors, and shield wires on the visual resources of the project area.

T1  - FEDERAL COAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1979).
AN  - 36386348; 446
AB  - PURPOSE: Standards and procedures under which the Secretary of the Interior (DOI) would make federally owned coal available for production through competitive lease sales are proposed. Lands on which the mining of federal coal would cause unacceptable damage to lands or resources would be identified; tracts found suitable for mining would be further evaluated with respect to other considerations, such as wildlife management, recreation, watershed protection, and stock grazing. Tracts would be ranked regionally in each of the six federal coal regions (two subregions), according to assessments of the quantity and quality of coal, the expected cost of extraction, and the social, economic, and environmental impacts of mining. This final supplement to the final environmental impact statement of 1979 assesses the potential environmental consequences of continuing the federal coal management program established in 1979, modified in 1982 and 1983, and revised in 1984 and 1985, and three alternatives to this existing program: (1) Leasing by Application, (2) Preference Right and Emergency Leasing, and (3) Federal Leasing--the no-action alternative. The analysis focuses in particular on six federal coal regions: Fort Union (Montana, North Dakota); Powder River (Montana, Wyoming); Green River-Hams Fork (Colorado, Wyoming); Uinta-Southwestern Utah (Colorado, Utah); San Juan River (Colorado, New Mexico); and the Southern Appalachian, Alabama Subregion (Alabama). This EIS analyzes the conditions that formed the basis for the 1979 analysis and that may have changed during the past six years. It considers the socioeconomic, transportation, health and safety, Native American issues, air resources, soils and vegetation, agriculture, wildlife, visual resources, recreation resources, wilderness, cultural resources, mineral and paleontological resources, and water resources impacts involved. For each alternative, impacts are analyzed at three coal production levels--low, medium, and high--for three target years: 1990, 1995, and 2000. The proposed action, which is favored by DOI, would continue the program and would include the following major elements presented in 1979: planning systems, market analysis, sales procedures, enforcement of lease terms and conditions, management of existing leases, preference right lease application (PRLA) processing, use of regional coal teams, integration of NEPA procedures, and emergency sales procedures. Under the Leasing by Application Alternative, DOI would consider offering federal coal for lease sale only in response to an application for a specific amount of coal in a specific location; all federal coal would be offered through competitive sales. Under the Preference Right and Emergency Leasing Alternative, federal coal leasing would be limited to coal deposits needed to meet emergency situations or to coal deposits applied for in preference right lease applications filed before 1976. Under the No New Federal Leasing Alternative, no program would be in place to analyze the need for leasing or to respond to lease applications. No federal coal would be offered at competitive lease sales or leased through approval of PRLAs, and the supply of federal coal would be limited to that already under lease. Comparisons are made of the projections of impacts to employment, population, and royalty and severance tax revenues in 1990 at the medium production level of the 1985 proposed action. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The 1985 proposed action medium production level for 1990 averages approximately 27 percent of the impacts projected for the 1979 preferred program, including 55,750 of the 291,024 (19 percent) workers needed, a population increase of 138,840 of the 557,600 (25 percent) projected for 1979, and $580 million in royalties and severance taxes, 27 percent of the $2,135 million projected for the 1979 program. Health and safety hazards under the proposed action should decline. Land disturbance for cropland and woodland would be less than under the 1979 preferred program. Direct losses of wildlife habitat resulting from coal production would also be approximately 54 percent less. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Miners and plant workers would continue to be exposed to health hazards such as dust, harmful fumes, stress, and excessive noise. Coal development in all regions would affect the land, with varying potential for reclamation. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Coal Leasing Amendments Act of 1976 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Multiple Use Sustained Yield Act of 1960 (16 U.S.C. 528 et seq.), and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).

T1  - LEMHI RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, IDAHO.
AN  - 36399490; 460
AB  - PURPOSE: Plans for managing 459,566 acres of land in the Lemhi Resource Area of the Salmon District of Idaho over the next 15 to 20 years are proposed. The preferred alternative would consider 4,495 acres for transfer from federal ownership through public sales or exchanges. An additional 1,340 acres would be considered for transfer under the Desert Land Act. An attempt would be made to acquire 5,600 acres primarily through exchange. A total of 161,909 acres would be open for oil and gas leasing with standard stipulation, 221,519 acres with seasonal occupancy restriction, and 77,369 acres with no-surface-occupancy restrictions. Approximately 14,796 acres would be closed to oil and gas leasing, and 15,596 acres would be closed to geothermal leasing. Some 92,165 acres would be closed to solid mineral leasing. A total of 455,434 acres would be open for location of mining claims, while 18,821 acres would be closed to mineral entry. Mineral sales could not occur on 92,010 acres, but the remaining 382,888 acres would be open to material sales. Approximately 28,865 acres of public forest land would be open to commercial harvest. Livestock management would provide 43,602 animal unit months (AUMs) of livestock forage. Game populations of 10,113 deer, 2,194 elk, 2,950 antelope, and 200 bighorn sheep would use 6,749 AUMs of forage. Six habitat management plans would be developed on 260,056 acres. A total of 15.5 miles of riparian area would be fenced and four watershed activity plans would be written. Recreation would be recognized as the principal use of the lands in the three special recreation management areas. Off-road vehicle use would continue to be limited during winter months on 16,230 acres of big game range. A year-round closure to all vehicle use would be placed on the 14,796 acres recommended as suitable for wilderness designation. Full suppression fire management guidelines would be followed on 444,770 acres. Prescribed burns would be conducted on 30,078 acres, and heavy fuel loading caused by logging debris and dead trees would be reduced on 10,000 acres to decrease the likelihood of fire. Cultural resource management plans would be written for the Chief Tendoy Cemetery, Lewis and Clark Trail, Salmon River Corridor, Indian Area A, and Indian Area B. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Ecological range conditions would improve moderately. Livestock AUMs would show a minor increase. Wildlife habitat would show a slight increase. A major increase in recreational opportunities would occur. Wilderness values would be protected on 14,796 acres. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Commercial forest land available for management would decrease. A slight decline in watershed conditions would occur because of timber harvesting. Adverse impacts on the availability of lands for exploration and development of solid and fluid leasable minerals would be slight. There would be a slight impact on timber yield and on the availability of commercial forest lands. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - FEDERAL PROTOTYPE OIL SHALE TRACT C-A OFFTRACT LEASE, COLORADO.
AN  - 36394453; 448
AB  - PURPOSE: Offtract disposal of waste materials associated with an open pit mine on Federal Prototype Oil Shale Lease Tract C-a is proposed. The preferred alternative would place retorting and other facilities, plus waste materials, on a 5,005-acre area adjacent to Tract C-a, known as 84 Mesa. Prototype Oil Shale Tract C-a is currently under a temporary lease suspension that was issued by the Department of the Interior in August of 1982. The planned uses of the offtract lease are the location, construction, and operation of retorting facilities; shale oil upgrading; power generation; product storage; maintenance/administrative facilities; overburden and processed shale disposal; topsoil stockpiling; roads; conveyors; and utility corridors. Oil shale and overburden would be transported by conveyor from the mine on Tract C-a to the offtract area. The overburden would go directly to the disposal area, while the oil shale would be crushed, stockpiled, and retorted prior to disposal of the processed shale. Approximately 1,363 acres of the lease would be used for plant and ancillary facilities. Approximately 3.6 billion cubic yards of overburden and processed shale could be placed on the offtract area. It is estimated that some 200 million cubic yards of material could ultimately be placed back into the 1,600-foot deep mine pit, but due to safety considerations, backfilling could not begin until around 60 percent of the final pit is mined. Overburden and processed shale disposal areas would be prepared by stripping and stockpiling topsoil for future reclamation. Erosion control and preliminary reclamation work would be conducted concurrently with surface disturbance. Appropriate measures would be taken to ensure that surface water and groundwater quality is maintained. The pile as planned would cover approximately 4,000 acres, and the final dump height would range from 400 feet in the west end to 1,100 feet at the east end of the proposed lease area. The pile would be developed over a period of approximately 50 years. Revegetation with selected species would complete reclamation of the disposal pile. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed lease for offtract disposal and plant siting would make Tract C-a more viable for open pit mining. In addition to promoting maximum cost-effective resource recovery, the environmental integrity of the affected area would be ensured by developing a full range of environmental safeguards and restoration techniques for incorporation into the planning of a mature oil shale industry. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Two major county roads would be rerouted around 84 Mesa. An airport, meteorological monitoring stations, and access roads would all be eliminated. Two separate power distribution lines would be relocated. An 8-inch gas transmission pipeline and a 4.5-inch gathering line would be rerouted around the topsoil storage area portion of the lease. The affected cathodic protection stations would be abandoned and replaced by new facilities. A 720-acre parcel of public land would be isolated from other public lands, and this isolation might affect the future development of these lands as well as the degree of management attention necessary for proper administration. Due to the difficulty involved in artificial regeneration of pinyon-juniper woodlands, any acres of woodland that are disturbed may never again be capable of producing woodlands comparable to predisturbance. Development of the Common Area would result in a loss of 63 animal unit months of forage presently allocated for use by wild horses. There would be a temporary loss of 6,368 acres of wildlife habitat until disturbed areas have been successfully revegetated. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE ESMERALDA-SOUTHERN NYE PLANNING AREA, NEVADA.
AN  - 36392425; 470
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan is proposed for the 3.4-million-acre Esmeralda-Southern Nye Planning Area located in Esmeralda and Nye counties, Nevada. Under the preferred alternative, a central core area of 17,850 acres of the Silver Peak Range Wilderness Study Area (WSA) would be recommended as suitable for wilderness designation. The remaining 17,184 acres of this WSA and all of the Grapevine Mountains WSA, Pigeon Spring WSA, Queer Mountain WSA, and Resting Spring Range WSA, for a total of 171,825 acres, would be recommended as unsuitable for wilderness designation. A pool of 94,949 acres of land would be identified for disposal during the life of the plan, and 357 miles of utility corridors would be designated and 30 miles of planning corridors would be identified. Rangeland management actions would authorize livestock use at 46,013 animal unit months (AUMs), manage the wild horse herd at 1,127 animals and the wild burro herd at 357 animals, support reintroduction of bighorn sheep into current and historic habitats, support augmentation of elk in current habitat, implement special treatments along 4.8 miles of streams to improve aquatic and riparian habitats, and modify the Ash Meadows habitat management plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation would protect wilderness values on nine percent of the WSAs. Transfer of public lands to private ownership would satisfy all future community urban-suburban expansion needs. Designation of utility corridors would satisfy all identified needs of the utility companies for the life of the plan. Production of forage species would increase, providing 798 AUMs of new forage for both native and domestic grazing animals. Water quality, riparian vegetation, and wildlife habitat would be improved, and 740 acres of critical habitat of proposed endangered plant species would be protected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mule deer habitat would be affected by utility corridor designations, and lands identified for disposal contain crucial habitat for the Amargosa speckled dace and the Amargosa toad. Mineral entry would be precluded or constrained on 17,850 acres of the Silver Peak Range WSA. Wilderness values would not be protected on 171,825 acres recommended as nonsuitable for wilderness designation. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - TRAFFIC AND RECREATIONAL MANAGEMENT FOR THE GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL PARKWAY (SPOUT RUN TO THEODORE ROOSEVELT BRIDGE) AND SPOUT RUN PARKWAY, VIRGINIA, MARYLAND, AND DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
AN  - 36384391; 483
AB  - PURPOSE: Roadway changes are proposed to reduce traffic congestion and improve safety on the George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP), between the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Bridge (I-66) in Washington, D.C. and the Spout Run Parkway in Virginia, while ensuring the long-term preservation of the parkway's scenic values, natural and cultural resources, and recreational opportunities. The preferred alternative involves structural roadway changes to improve traffic flow and safety. The merge lane between inbound Spout Run and GWMP and all of the existing acceleration and deceleration lanes, both inbound and outbound, would be lengthened to allow drivers more space and time to change lanes as they enter and exit the parkway. In addition, a new continuous lane, approximately 1,300 feet long, would be constructed on outbound GWMP between the on-ramp from Key Bridge and the Spout Run exit. The Lorcom Lane/Spout Run intersection would be reconstructed to add a left-turn lane for traffic turning left from inbound Spout Run to Lorcom Lane. The GWMP off-ramp to Key Bridge/Rosslyn Circle would be reconstructed to merge into the I-66 off-ramp to Lee Highway just before the intersection with North Lynn Street. Rosslyn Circle would be improved by removal of the old bus turnarounds, rehabilitation of the roadway, and new landscaping to complement the proposed adjacent park above I-66. The entrance to the Theodore Roosevelt Island parking lot would be relocated, and a one-way in-and-out traffic flow would be established. Deceleration and acceleration lanes would be lengthened to improve the flow of traffic in and out of the parking area. In addition, the scheduled road base reconstruction and road resurfacing would be completed and safety improvements, such as reflective markings, guardrails, signing, and skid-resistant surfacing, would be added. A comprehensive grading and planting plan will also be completed prior to construction to reestablish the natural scene and original contours to the maximum extent possible and to ensure proper drainage of all parkway features. A comprehensive design would be prepared for Rosslyn Circle and the connecting bike trail between the circle that will recognize Rosslyn Circle as a formal landscaped gateway to the nation's capital. The estimated construction cost is $16.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would improve traffic flow and merging conditions and create safer and less-confusing crossings for pedestrians and bicyclists. It is assumed that improvements in the level of service would reduce stop-and-go traffic conditions and decrease the number of rear-end, off-the-road, and side-swipe accidents. When all development is completed, recreational use of Theodore Roosevelt Island is expected to increase by 100 to 200 percent. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The structural changes included in the preferred alternative would result in a moderate change in the aesthetic character of the parkway. Overall, 3.74 acres of green space would be replaced with paved surfaces, and an additional 3.66 acres would be disturbed. There would be a highly noticeable change created by the loss of the tree canopy along the new 1,200 foot Spout Run merge area. Drainage patterns would be altered, and the increase in an impervious pavement cover would prevent precipitation from soaking into the ground. Projected increases in traffic would increase the petroleum-based contaminants washing into wetlands and the Potomac River. The removal of woodland vegetation would reduce some habitat available to woodland wildlife species. There would be some intrusion of visibility, noise, and hazards of traffic on the Potomac River Trail.

AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan is proposed for approximately 145,660 surface acres and 213,385 acres of federal mineral estate in the Garnet Resource Area of northwestern Montana. Under the preferred alternative, approximately 105,020 acres, or 93 percent, of the commercial forest land would be available for forest management activities subject to restrictions to protect wildlife, riparian, watershed, soil, and recreation values. Range improvements would be undertaken to increase livestock carrying capacity 28 percent in the long term. The 520-acre Quigg West wilderness study area would be recommended for wilderness designation, and a 20-acre unique geological feature would be recommended as an area of critical environmental concern. Oil and gas leasing would be permitted on 205,066 acres, or 99 percent, of the federal mineral estate, and mineral entry would be allowed on 203,310 acres. Riparian and wildlife values would be emphasized, existing recreation sites would be maintained, motor vehicles would be restricted to open roads, and land tenure adjustments would be implemented. The estimated initial cost for range improvements is $356,100. The estimated total cost of improvements over 20 years is $974,340. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A timber harvest of 7,030 million board feet would represent a 9-percent increase in the annual harvest and would create 63 jobs, or 5 more than at present. Range improvements would result in more than 90 percent of the range being in good or better condition over the long term and would cause a small increase in some rancher income from increased grazing capacity. Wilderness values would be preserved in the designated areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Timber management, range management, and mineral exploration would disrupt wildlife and aquatic habitat, detract from wilderness values, and degrade visual values. Land withdrawals and management restrictions would decrease resource yields. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - GRAND VALLEY UNIT, STAGE TWO, COLORADO RIVER BASIN SALINITY CONTROL PROJECT, MESA COUNTY, COLORADO.
AN  - 36395975; 494
AB  - PURPOSE: A program is proposed to decrease salt loading to the Colorado River. The Grand Valley Unit area is located along the Colorado River in western Mesa County in west-central Colorado. The area includes mostly the irrigated portion of the Grand Valley, consisting of approximately 70,000 acres and involving some 200 miles of canals and 500 miles of laterals. The salt loading to the Colorado River from the unit area is estimated at approximately 580,000 tons annually. The salt loading is attributed to the Mancos Formation that underlies the Grand Valley and consists of a sequence of thick beds of gray, calcareous, marine shale that contains a high percentage of salt. At the land surface, the Mancos Formation exhibits a thin, weathered, and fractured zone that acts as an aquifer allowing water from conveyance system seepage and irrigation deep percolation to dissolve salts from the shale and convey them to natural drainages and ultimately the Colorado River. The preferred alternative would consist of providing a membrane lining for approximately 38 miles of the 47-mile section of the Government Highline Canal from Palisade to the terminus of the canal, 6 miles northwest of Mack. The last mile is considered a lateral under the recommended plan because of its small capacity and would be placed in pipe. The membrane lining would be 20-mil polyvinyl chloride, covered with 12 to 19 inches of earth and gravel for all canal capacities. Major existing structures along the canal, including siphons, flumes, and bridges, would be subjected to a structural and hydraulic evaluation and would be replaced if necessary. All turnout structures would be replaced, and several new wasteway and centerline check structures would be added to control the surface elevation of the canal water. Cross-drainage facilities, consisting of a detention dike and ditch system, would be constructed to protect the membrane-lined canal. Two additional moss and debris removal structures would be installed. Lateral improvements would consist of replacing unlined lateral reaches with buried pipe laterals. Approximately 700 individual laterals are included, with a total length of approximately 490 miles, of which 308 miles would be placed in pipe. The pipe sections would range from 6 to 48 inches in diameter. Existing structures would be removed if they are not needed. Wildlife measures, including acquisition of 2,090 acres of land along the Colorado River, would be included to compensate for wildlife habitat losses. The plan would require approximately 3,325 acres of additional land for construction activities. These additional lands would include 1,402 acres of federal land and 1,923 acres of private land. Of these acres, approximately 1,100 would be needed permanently for the unit area. Estimated costs would be $1.92 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The recommended plan would reduce the salt loading from the unit area by an estimated 143,500 tons annually, resulting in an estimated reduction in the salinity concentration of the Colorado River at Imperial Dam of approximately 13.1 mg/L. The plan would provide a reliable and manageable irrigation water delivery system. Salt deposits would be decreased at the land surface in some areas and crop growth would be increased. Safety conditions would be improved along the canals and laterals. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, additional operation, maintenance, and replacement costs would be incurred. During construction, erosion would be a problem. A net loss of 200 to 300 acres of wetland vegetation types would occur. Wildlife losses would occur primarily as a result of clearing habitat during construction and long-term losses of habitat caused by seepage reduction from canals and laterals. Aesthetic values of the wetlands along the canals and laterals would be reduced. Trees in these areas would be lost, with an estimated 75 percent of the existing cottonwoods being lost along the laterals. LEGAL MANDATES: Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-320) and Executive Orders 11988 and 11990.

T1  - PROPOSED TWO RIVERS RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, OREGON.
AN  - 36403462; 456
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan is proposed for 324,705 acres of public land and 384,074 acres of subsurface mineral estate underlying private land in the Two Rivers Planning Area, located in central Oregon. The two rivers are John Day and Deschutes, and the planning area lies between the Cascade Mountains on the west and Morrow and Grant counties on the east, in an area north from Crook and Deschutes counties to the Columbia River. Under the preferred alternative, all riparian areas along the two rivers and their major tributaries would be managed to full potential, with a minimum of 60 percent of the vegetative potential to be achieved within 20 years. Forage requirements for deer and elk would be met, and upland vegetation would be managed to achieve maximum wildlife habitat diversity. All streams with fisheries or fisheries potential would be managed to achieve a good to excellent condition. Forage available for livestock would remain at 17,778 animal unit months (AUMs) in the short term and would be increased to 19,920 AUMs in the long term. Timber harvest would be conducted on 10,715 acres of commercial forest land, with a sustained yield of 1.41 million board feet annually. Approximately 188,000 acres of public land would remain open for exploration and development of mineral resources and related rights-of-way. Restrictive stipulations for oil and gas exploration would remain in effect on 132,000 acres of public land to protect areas with high visual quality. Approximately 20,000 acres would be limited or closed to off-road vehicle use. Five areas with identified outstanding natural or cultural values would be designated as research natural areas. A total of 33,600 acres would receive additional study to determine whether they should be sold or otherwise disposed of. Approximately 1,000 acres of land would be sold annually. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide a flow of renewable resources from the public lands on a sustained yield basis while protecting or enhancing natural values. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Management actions would disturb the natural setting of the area, and some user conflicts would occur. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED GRAZING MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR THE EASTERN ARIZONA AREA.
AN  - 36392291; 452
AB  - PURPOSE: Future grazing management options for approximately 1 million acres of public lands are proposed. The study involves grazing lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the Phoenix Resource Area, Phoenix District, and the Cochise and San Pedro Planning Units of the Safford District. The study area, encompassing 12 counties, consists of approximately 22.54 million acres, of which 1.06 million acres (5 percent) are administered by BLM. The present management program provides 114,019 animal unit months (AUMs) to 336 allotments for grazing use. Long-term targets would be 117,790 AUMs to livestock. The vegetation increases would be distributed on the basis of 40 percent to livestock and wildlife and 60 percent to nonconsumptive uses. Under the preferred alternative, three allotment management plans (AMPs) totaling 59,945 acres would be revised, based on monitoring of resource conditions. Seven AMPs totalling 66,636 acres would be developed following the completion of the environmental impact statement. AMPs would not be developed by BLM for the remaining 326 allotments due to small amounts of public land on these ranches, limited resource conflicts, or no potential for improvement. A total of 18,635 acres would remain unleased. Grazing management systems, including rest rotation; deferred rotation; deferred, seasonal, short duration, or others, would be implemented where needs are identified. On custodial allotments, grazing systems or season of use would be coordinated with the private land owners, State Land Department, or Soil Conservation Service. Land treatments such as land imprinting and seeding, chaining, or prescribed burning might be implemented on approximately 75,000 acres, affecting 12 allotments, to enhance rangeland values, watershed conditions, and wildlife habitat. Fences would be needed to support grazing or land treatments and would be built to allow wildlife movement. Monitoring and surveys would determine whether there was any need to develop new water sources to ensure better livestock distribution and improve wildlife habitat. Stocking additional animals would be allowed in the good ephemeral years where additional but unquantified AUMs of forage are available. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The vegetation resource would benefit. Range condition would improve on the 10 allotments receiving AMPs and would follow present trends on the remaining 326. Vegetation cover would improve on those allotments as well as the allotments that would receive land treatments. Protected plants would benefit. On allotments scheduled for AMPs or land treatments, the soils resource would benefit significantly in the long term. Water resources would benefit slightly. Livestock production and distribution would improve. Wildlife, including the mule deer and wild burros, would benefit from increased forage and additional waters. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of range improvements would have an adverse impact by altering the values of undiscovered sites, and increased access could increase the possibility of vandalism. There would be minor impact on visual resources. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED MINING PLAN AND TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR PLAN, LA PLATA MINE, SAN JUAN COUNTY, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36382611; 449
AB  - PURPOSE: Issuance of a permit to the San Juan Coal Company to develop a surface coal mine approximately 18 miles north of Farmington, San Juan County, New Mexico is proposed. The mine study area would consist of 2,310 acres for the mine, 249 acres for support facilities, and 632 acres for a transportation corridor. The project would involve a preparation time of 1.5 years to construct the support facilities and the 19.9-mile coal haul road between the mine and the San Juan Generating Station. Strip mining would then be accomplished by the truck-shovel method and by blasting. The mine would have a planned production life of 32 years. The average annual production rate would be 2 million tons, with a peak production of 4 million tons per year after 20 years. At the conclusion of mining operations, the haul road and related structures would be removed, and the affected area would be reclaimed by topsoil redressing, seeding, and replanting. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities would supply 70 million short tons of low-sulfur subbituminous coal to meet the nation's energy demands over the next 32 years. Employment would be provided for a maximum of 760 workers, 60 percent of whom would be local residents. Total annual earnings from the project would exceed $16 million between 1986 and 2005. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would disturb a total of 1,643 acres of livestock range and wildlife habitat. Reclamation would not restore the diversity of vegetation species found in undisturbed rangeland, and reduced topographic diversity would make the area permanently less suitable for mule deer. Groundwater quality would deteriorate, but would still be acceptable for agriculture and wildlife uses. Mine traffic would increase noise levels and degrade air quality slightly. The mine and associated facilities would constitute a visual intrusion to the generally rural landscape. Population increases would stress community services and facilities. Part of the transportation corridor would cross the Ute Mountain Indian Reservation. LEGAL MANDATES: Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.) and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).

T1  - BAIROIL/DAKOTA CARBON DIOXIDE PROJECTS, MONTANA, NORTH DAKOTA, SOUTH DAKOTA, AND WYOMING.
AN  - 36395568; 451
AB  - PURPOSE: Exxon Company USA (Exxon), Amoco Production Company (Amoco), and Shell Pipe Line Corporation (Shell) have applied to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for permission to build pipelines to transport carbon dioxide (CO2) across public lands in Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The preferred alternative would be 751.5 miles long and would parallel other pipelines or roads for 436.7 miles. Exxon would transport CO2 in a high-pressure pipeline extending from Rock Springs, Wyoming to Tioga, North Dakota. From its origin, the pipeline would become progressively smaller, ranging from 20 to 18 to 16 inches in diameter. Exxon would deliver CO2 to Amoco at Bairoil, Wyoming and to other undetermined markets along the way, ending with a delivery to Amerada Hess near Tioga, North Dakota. In addition, Amoco would build a gas plant to separate natural gas liquids, hydrocarbon gases, CO2, and miscellaneous components that would be produced from its Lost Soldier and Wertz oil fields at Bairoil. Other facilities would be associated with the pipeline and the gas plant. Shell would transport CO2 in a 10- to 4-inch-diameter distribution pipeline to the oil field units located in the Cedar Creek Anticline near Baker, Montana. Across private lands, Exxon would seek a 50-foot-wide permanent easement, with an additional temporary 50-foot-wide construction easement. Shell would seek a 40-foot-wide permanent easement with an additional 40-foot-wide construction easement. The estimated capital cost for the proposed pipeline is $270 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The major benefit would be increased oil and gas production. The pipeline route would increase annual property taxes for the 18 affected counties. Project construction would generate direct employment opportunities for a peak of 1,861 workers and generate $64 million in personal income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would disturb some sensitive soils requiring extra rehabilitation efforts, would degrade a small amount of visual resources, and could destroy cultural resources. A total of 8,799 acres of wildlife habitat would be disturbed. Construction would also cause a short-term loss of wildlife habitat, but no significant loss of animals. The route would cross historic roads and trails 23 times. Traffic would increase, which could increase accidents and loss of life. LEGAL MANDATES: Antiquities Act of 1906 (16 U.S.C. 431 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

AN  - 36401126; 463
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a 20-year resource management plan is proposed for the 1.7-million-acre Jarbidge Resource Area in Owyhee, Elmore, and Twin Falls counties, Idaho and Elko County, Nevada. Under the preferred alternative, 90,406 acres would be considered for transfer from federal ownership. Livestock use would be stocked initially at 178,319 animal unit months (AUMs), with a long-term stocking goal of 285,150 AUMs. Range improvements would include 194 miles of pipelines and 195 miles of fences. Land treatments would include 142,085 acres of brush control, 121,749 acres of brush control and seeding, and 40,156 acres of seeding only. The entire resource area would be managed as a full fire suppression area to provide maximum protection to the watershed and wildlife and vegetation resources. Wildlife habitat improvement would occur on 18,200 acres, and competitive forage levels of 3,877 AUMs would be provided. Wildlife populations would be allowed to increase, and the wild horse herd would be maintained at 50 animals. Riparian habitat improvements would be implemented along 53 miles of streams, and aquatic habitat improvements would occur along 51 miles of streams. Mineral activity would be allowed in 87 percent of the resource area. An allowable cut level of 1.45 million board feet would be applied on 1,086 acres in the Upper Bennett and Anderson Ranch/Boise River areas, and recreational wood-cutting would continue. Motorized vehicle recreation would be unrestricted on 74 percent of the resource area, limited on 1 percent, and closed on 8 percent. Wilderness designation would be recommended for 31,410 acres, and several other areas would receive special designations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Erosion would be reduced on 59 miles of stream managed to improve riparian and aquatic habitat. Livestock use would increase six percent over current levels, and rangelands would improve slightly. Aquatic, riparian, and wildlife habitats also would improve. Special designations would protect significant areas from development and overuse. By the end of the 20-year period, there would be a net increase of $4.0 million in income per year and a net increase of 582 jobs from transfers of land to agricultural development and increased livestock use on public lands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Agricultural development on 74,561 acres of transferred lands would result in the loss of 24 percent of the native forage habitat-supporting prey for birds of prey adjacent to the Snake River. Birds-of-prey populations would decline. Habitat for 20 to 25 pairs of long-billed curlews would be lost. Sand and gravel for road construction in new agricultural areas would deplete sources in high use areas after 20 years. Agricultural development also could cause major deterioration and possible loss of 10 known paleontological sites located in the transferred lands. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - COORDINATED OPERATION OF THE CENTRAL VALLEY PROJECT AND THE STATE WATER PROJECT, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36385110; 492
AB  - PURPOSE: Execution of a draft Coordinated Operation Agreement between the Central Valley Project (CVP) and the State Water Project (SWP) in California, regarding use of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta water supply, is proposed. The sharing formula would provide for a proportionate CVP/SWP split of 75/25 responsibility for meeting in-basin use from stored water releases and 55/45 responsibility for capture of excess flow. Both parties would agree to meet specified water quality standards of State Water Resources Control Board Decision 1485, and each party would have access to facilities of the other party for short-term and long-term situations. Each party's annual supplies at the 1980 development level would be set at 6.9 million acre-feet (maf) for CVP and 3.6 maf for SWP, while annual supplies at the year 2020 development level would be set at 8.4 maf for CVP and 3.1 maf for SWP. Section 10(h) of the contract would cover purchase of interim CVP water by SWP and the conveyance of CVP water to federal contractors through the California Aqueduct. In return, CVP would have equal access to the California Aqueduct for an amount of water equal to that purchased by SWP from CVP. Finally, the agreement would require periodic review of each party's success in meeting its objectives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A coordinated agreement would provide greater protection to the water-related environment in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta during critically dry years, especially for migratory fish and for waterfowl food in the Suisun Marsh. Dependable quantities of high-quality irrigation water would enhance agriculture productivity in the western Delta. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased drawdown at CVP reservoirs during critically dry years would degrade aesthetics and recreational opportunities slightly. High river temperatures during late summer and fall months of dry years disrupt salmon spawning and rearing habits. Slightly reduced Delta outflow peaks could occur in the year or years immediately following critically dry years.

T1  - NORTH FORK KERN WILD AND SCENIC RIVER STUDY, TULARE AND KERN COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36392334; 457
AB  - PURPOSE: Inclusion of 78.5 miles of the 82-mile North Kern River in Tulare and Kern counties, California in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System is proposed. The five segments into which the river would be divided for designation would include a 27-mile segment from the headwaters to the southern boundary of Sequoia National Park, a 20.5-mile segment passing through the Golden Trout Wilderness, and a 14-mile segment from the southern boundary of the Golden Trout Wilderness to a point 1,500 feet above Johnsondale Bridge to be designated as wild; a 17-mile segment from a point 1,500 feet above the Johnsondale Bridge to the Tulare-Kern county line to remain undesignated; and the 4.5-mile segment from the county line to Lake Isabella to be designated as ineligible for inclusion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Although designation of the 47.5-mile segment of river that passes through Sequoia National Park and Golden Trout Wilderness as wild river would not significantly alter the river management regime along this reach, designation of the adjacent 14-mile stretch as wild would protect this stretch against damaging encroachments. Water quality and fishery resources would be preserved, and scenic resources would be protected. Recreational uses along the river would be allowed to increase by approximately 30 percent within 10 years; 50 percent of this increase would be due to inclusion of the river in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The local economy would benefit from a variety of recreational, mineral, and water development opportunities permitted in the undesignated segments of the river. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increasing recreational use of the river as well as development of mineral resources and water projects south of the Johnsondale Bridge would result in damage to vegetation within the corridor, an increased threat of fire, and disturbance of wildlife and cultural artifact sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 81-0998D, Volume 5, Number 12.

T1  - COLORADO-BIG THOMPSON WINDY GAP PROJECTS, WATER MARKETING PROGRAM FOR GREEN MOUNTAIN RESERVOIR, COLORADO (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1981).
AN  - 36386496; 398
AB  - PURPOSE: A water marketing program is proposed for the Green Mountain Reservoir, located 13 miles southeast of Kremmling, Colorado. This project supplements the Colorado-Big Thompson, Windy Gap projects, addressed in the final environmental impact statement of April 1981. Currently, interim water sales are available on a yearly, case-by-case basis. Three alternative sale programs are under consideration. Two alternatives would fulfill all of the currently identified requests for water (approximately 22,800 acre-feet) and the third alternative would assume a 25-percent increase in water demand over this amount. Each alternative then would be regulated by the hydrologic constraints of the reservoir and downstream river system and by recommended instream flow values regarding diversion or depletion of stream flows. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Long-term contracts would assure a reliable water supply for farmland irrigation, snowmaking at ski resorts, residential use, and other commercial and industrial uses. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Hydrologic constraints and flow restrictions placed on the streams could create water shortages to some delivery areas. Changes in stream flows resulting from the different water sales alternatives would create different losses in fish habitat and could create some user conflicts. LEGAL MANDATES: Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-320), Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.).

T1  - NATIONAL FREEWAY--U.S. ROUTE 48, SECTION I, WOLFE MILL TO M.V. SMITH ROAD, ALLEGANY COUNTY, MARYLAND (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF AUGUST 1980).
AN  - 36393485; 421
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of the final 19-mile gap of the National Freeway from Wolfe Mill Road to M.V. Smith Road in Allegany County, Maryland is proposed. Two alternatives are under consideration. Both alternatives would consist of a four-lane divided controlled-access highway. Alternative 1, known as the modified AGEA alternative, generally would follow the existing U.S. Route 40 corridor for the National Freeway and would provide a two-lane continuous frontage road from Wolfe Mill to Fifteen Mile Creek for local service. The National Freeway alignment would deviate from U.S. 40 just east of Wolfe Mill, at Martin Mountain and on the west side of Polish Mountain. Interchanges would be provided at Wolfe Mill, Rocky Gap State Park, Martin Mountain, Flintstone, Old Cumberland Road, Fifteen Mile Creek Road, and M.V. Smith Road. Alternative 2, known as the Tie Line alternative, would swing south of U.S. Route 40 east of Wolfe Mill, cross Hinkle Road at the Allegany Beagle Club, and cross Warrior Mountain near Williams Road. The alternative would then continue to the north through Town Creek Valley, cross Town Creek, and generally follow the existing U.S. Route 40 corridor from Polish Mountain to M.V. Smith Road. Three options, C-1, C-2, and C-3 are being considered through Town Creek Valley. Option C-1 would proceed northerly along Warrior Mountain, west of Town Creek Road. Near the Town Creek Road/Warm Springs Road intersection, C-1 would curve east, passing over Murley Branch, Town Creek Road, and Town Creek, then proceed along Wittaker Ridge toward Merten Avenue and existing U.S. Route 40. Option C-2 would shift alignment from Option C-1 in the vicinity of Murley Branch and Town Creek to avoid several archaeological sites and minimize impact to Murley Branch. Option C-2 would pass over Murley Branch, Town Creek Road, and Town Creek approximately 2,300 feet south of C-1. Option C-3 would curve to the east at its beginning and cross Town Creek Road and Town Creek, then climb Polish Mountain on the east side of Town Creek. Interchanges for alternative 2 would be provided at Wolfe Mill, Old Cumberland Road, Fifteen Mile Creek Road, and M.V. Smith Road. Total costs range from $154.7 to $169.3 million, depending on the alternative chosen. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Completion of the National Freeway would provide a controlled-access highway between Morgantown, West Virginia and Hancock, Maryland and would improve economic conditions for Western Maryland and the Appalachian Region. The level of service would improve, and accident rates would decline. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternative chosen, 18 to 41 residences and 1 to 5 businesses would be displaced. Alternative 1 would require 15 acres of Rocky Gap State Park, 53 acres of Greenridge State Forest, and land from six historic sites. Eight archaeological sites would be affected. Alternative 2 would require from 60 to 107 acres of land from Greenridge State Forest, affect one historic site, and from two to three archaeological sites. Depending upon alternatives, from 12 to 30 prime farmland acres would be lost, and noise levels would exceed Federal Noise Abatement Criteria at 15 to 19 sites.

T1  - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE ELKO PLANNING AREA, ELKO, NEVADA.
AN  - 36403822; 408
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan for approximately 5.3 million acres of the Elko Resource Area in the western half of Elko County and the northern portions of Lander and Eureka Counties, Nevada is proposed. The preferred management plan would be directed toward improving rangeland vegetative conditions, expanding livestock grazing opportunities, providing habitat for additional big game, meeting a variety of recreational needs, and providing for mineral development. Specifically, up to 5,900 acres of public land would be made available for community expansion, 8,340 acres for sale, and 243,200 acres for exchange. Three Special Recreation Management Areas (SRMAs) would be maintained: South Fork Owyhee River, Wilson Reservoir, and Zunino/Jiggs Reservoir. South Fork Humboldt River, consisting of 3,360 acres, and Wildhorse, consisting of 5,760 acres, would be designated as SRMAs. A total of 36,460 acres in the Rough Hills Wilderness Study Area (WSA) and Little Humboldt River WSA would be recommended as suitable for wilderness designation. Wildlife habitat would be managed for reasonable numbers of big game. Woodland areas would be intensively managed on 23,000 acres for Christmas tree harvest, and 60,000 acres would be managed for fuelwood and post harvest. Livestock use would be authorized at the existing level initially, increasing 30 percent over the long term to 396,989 Animal Unit Months (AUMs) if supported by monitoring. The wild horse population would be maintained at 330 animals. The resource area would be designated open for locatable minerals except for 50,096 acres (1.8 percent of the area). Legal access would be acquired for 60 roads, totaling 242 miles. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Management measures would protect wilderness values on 1 percent of the planning area. Habitat to support reasonable numbers of big game would be provided over the long term. Fish habitat would be improved on 106 miles of stream. Opportunities for recreation would be increased. Increases in hunter and angler days would significantly benefit the area economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Potential land sales could cause livestock losses of up to 93 AUMs. Wilderness designation of 36,460 acres may result in restricting vehicle use, which would limit livestock management opportunities. Some stream habitat would decline over the long term due to grazing and mining. The removal of 550 forested acres by land sales would impair the ability to meet public demand for woodland products. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - SPOKANE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, SPOKANE, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 36393519; 411
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan is proposed for 307,603 acres of public land in the Spokane District, Washington. The preferred alternative would implement timber harvesting on 44,443 acres with a sustained yield of 3.98 million board feet annually. Minor forest products would be sold where consistent with other resource values. Grazing management would continue on 232,970 acres at a level of 30,073 animal unit months. Oil, gas, and geothermal leasing, mineral entry and development, and utility and transportation corridor development would be allowed on most lands, with the exception of designated wilderness areas. Wildlife and fish habitat would be maintained or improved, and soil, water, and air resources would be protected. Approximately 23,000 acres would be identified for acquisition through land exchanges with the state of Washington and private parties over the next four years. Approximately 9,000 acres of public land would be offered to facilitate these exchanges. Exchanges and transfers to other federal agencies would take place when natural resource values would benefit. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, management would be directed toward providing a flow of renewable resources from the public lands on a sustained yield basis. Improvements would occur in water quality, forage production, range condition, wildlife forage and cover, and fish and riparian habitat. Timber harvesting activities would cause a gain of $152,400 in local personal income and an increase of six jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Timber harvesting, mineral operations, and other management actions would disrupt wildlife habitat, degrade visual and recreational values, and cause increases in soil compaction and loss of vegetative cover. Ten ranches would experience declines in property values in the long term. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 84-0543D, Volume 8, Number 11.

T1  - WHITEHURST FREEWAY CORRIDOR SYSTEM MODIFICATION STUDY, WASHINGTON, D.C.
AN  - 36384310; 369
AB  - PURPOSE: Rehabilitation of the Whitehurst Freeway (U.S. 29) in Washington, D.C. is proposed. The existing freeway, which carries U.S. 29 over the south Georgetown area, is a four-lane elevated structure extending approximately 0.6 miles. The freeway connects Interstate 66 (I-66), Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway, and adjacent streets on the east to Key Bridge across the Potomac River on the west. Under the preferred alternative, the vertical and horizontal alignment of the rehabilitated freeway would remain the same. The roadway itself would be widened by 8 feet, to a total width of 60.5 feet, from Key Bridge to the vicinity of 30th Street. The wider facility would consist of four 11-foot travel lanes separated by a concrete Jersey-type barrier, with minimum shoulder areas for vehicle breakdowns and other emergencies. Existing connections with Canal Road and Key Bridge would be maintained and rehabilitated. Ramps connecting eastbound Whitehurst Freeway and I-66 would be shortened, and the two unconnected ramps would be removed. The uncompleted three-lane Potomac River Freeway stub would be demolished. The project also would involve reconstruction of K Street beneath the elevated structure. K Street would have a 15-foot-wide sidewalk on the north side and three 11-foot traffic lanes (two westbound and one eastbound). The eastbound lane would be 18 feet wide, incorporating an 11-foot traffic lane and an 8-foot, two-way bike lane. The 17-foot wide railroad rights-of-way would be included in this lane. Rehabilitation of the elevated freeway would include minimal aesthetic and safety changes. The project would require approximately 24 months for completion and would cost $56.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The rehabilitated freeway would be safer and would reduce traffic delays currently affecting the freeway corridor. The project also would return 4.8 acres of land to nonhighway use, including 0.6 acres of parkland. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Travel delays could occur at the unchanged western connections to Canal Road and Key Bridge. The widened freeway deck would be a visual intrusion on historic properties along K Street, but would not require any property acquisitions. The widened deck also would require exceptions to current highway standards regarding the width of the structure. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966 (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Federal Aid Highway Act of 1968 (23 U.S.C. 128(a)), and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

T1  - CENTRAL YUKON PLANNING AREA, NORTHWEST RESOURCE AREA, FAIRBANKS, ALASKA: RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN.
AN  - 36393348; 357
AB  - PURPOSE: A resource management plan is proposed for 9.4 million acres of public lands in the Central Yukon Planning Area, Northwest Resource Area, Alaska. Under the preferred alternative, 93 to 96 percent of the land would be opened to mineral leasing, and 85 to 92 percent of the land would be opened to mineral entry and location. Crucial wildlife habitat would be opened to mineral leasing with stipulations, while selected anadromous fish spawning habitat would be closed to mineral entry and location. Drainages of the Kaltag and Nulato rivers would be closed to mineral entry and location to protect the drinking water quality of these rivers. Only the currently open Minchumina area would be open to the settlement laws, but most of the area would be open to leasing. Selected areas would be deferred from opening to mineral laws for three years to allow further study of subsistence uses. The critical wildlife and fish spawning areas would be designated areas of critical environmental concern (ACEC), and eight other areas would be proposed for designation as research natural areas (RNA). All areas would be open to commercial timber harvest except identified crucial wildlife habitat, ACECs, and RNAs. Recreation management would focus on maintaining the existing quality of recreation resources and continuing the administration of the Unalakleet River as a wild and scenic river and the Iditarod Trail as a national historic trail. Emphasis also would be placed on areas of outstanding scenic value in the vicinity of the Ray Mountains. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would balance resource uses to accommodate commodity development while protecting important and sensitive environmental values. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mineral exploration, timber harvesting, and settlement activities would interfere with subsistence use, disturb fish and wildlife habitat, degrade visual resources and primitive recreational experiences, increase vegetation disturbances and soil erosion, and destroy cultural and paleontological resources.

T1  - ERADICATION OF CANNABIS ON FEDERAL LANDS AND INTERMINGLED FORESTS AND RANGELANDS IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES.
AN  - 36395896; 350
AB  - PURPOSE: Methods and strategies for cannabis eradication on federal lands and intermingled forests and rangelands throughout the contiguous 48 states are proposed. Most cannabis grown illegally on federal lands east of the Continental Divide is found in the Southern Appalachian and Ozark forests. Very little cannabis has been found on federal lands in the Coastal Plains, and none is grown in the wetlands, salt marsh, and riparian areas. On federal lands from the Rocky Mountains and west, most cannabis grown illegally is found in California and Oregon. The remainder is divided between the mountains of Washington, Idaho, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico, within lowlands and valley bottoms enclosed by mountains. The proposed eradication method would emphasize operational flexibility, permitting a full range of methods based on site-specific criteria. Manual, mechanical, and both spot and broadcast methods of applying paraquat 2,4-D or glyphosate would be available. Selection of the eradication method would be based on a number of factors, including available manpower and equipment, number and maturity of plants and configuration of plots, general remoteness and accessibility, weather conditions, and time of year. Environmental factors include proximity to water bodies, human habitation, and developed recreation areas; topography; foliage density and plant height; soil type; and presence of unique resources, such as endangered or threatened plants. The proposed disposal alternative is one of operational flexibility, under which all methods for disposal of eradicated cannabis would be available, including haul and burn, haul and landfill, shred and till, or posting of the area. Disposal methods would be based on site-specific and situation-specific conditions. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Elimination of cannabis cultivation on public lands would return these lands to their rightful users. "Booby traps" and other site hazards would be removed, improving safety of visitors, contractors, and federal employees. Eradication of cannabis fields would decrease the costs of federal, state, and local law enforcement activities. Cannabis cultivation on public lands also hampers the ability of federal agencies to accomplish their management objectives. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Herbicidal eradication methods would kill or injure all vegetation in the plot. Aerial application may cause temporary brownout of peripheral vegetation. Herbicides may be sprayed on wildlife, or wildlife may eat sprayed leaves, berries, or seeds. Burning of cannabis in open fields could burn adjacent areas if not properly controlled. There is a small possibility that marijuana sprayed with herbicides could reach consumers.

T1  - OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM, HARLAN COUNTY LAKE, NEBRASKA: MULTIPLE-PURPOSE PROJECT, KANSAS RIVER BASIN, REPUBLICAN RIVER (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1977).
AN  - 36404071; 390
AB  - PURPOSE: Operation and maintenance activities at Harlan County Lake, Nebraska are planned, including water control operations, operation and maintenance of recreation areas, and management of project land and water resources. The lake is located 239 miles above the mouth of the Republican River in southcentral Nebraska near the Kansas state line. This supplement to the draft environmental impact statement of May 1977 discusses the observed consequences of water-level fluctuations of the lake with respect to conflicting recreation uses, stability of the lakeshore, and the need for irrigation and flood control. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Continued and expanded resource management programs and operation and maintenance of recreation facilities probably would produce long-term beneficial changes in the project environment and help to maintain water, soil, vegetation, animal, and cultural resources over the life of the project. Continued operation of the Republican River and Kansas River basin system of flood control lakes would contribute to incremental reductions in flood damages in downstream areas along the Kansas River. Flood protection would encourage river bottom development, and release of irrigation waters to downstream lands would contribute to the prosperity of the surrounding multicounty area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Low water levels and sediment deposition near boat ramps and marinas would interfere with access to the lake from the normal shoreline during summer months. Lake elevations at or above multipurpose pool levels would increase shoreline erosion. Project releases to evacuate extreme flood pool storage levels could exceed the capacity of the downstream river channel and cause flooding of agricultural land. Water-level fluctuations, in combination with the physical properties of the lakeshore and the lake bottom at the upper end of the lake, could create mosquito-breeding habitat. Heavy visitor use would increase soil compaction, loss of grass cover, and dust. LEGAL MANDATES: Flood Control Act of 1941 (P.L. 77-228). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 77-0846D, Volume 1, Number 8.

T1  - PROPOSED CORONADO NATIONAL FOREST LAND AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO (REVISED DRAFT OF DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1982).
AN  - 36399411; 304
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for the 1.7-million-acre Coronado National Forest in Arizona and New Mexico is proposed. The national forest is composed of 12 blocks of land scattered across southeastern Arizona and a small portion of southwestern New Mexico. Specifically, the forest lies in Pima, Santa Cruz, Pinal, Cochise, and Graham counties in Arizona and Hidalgo County in New Mexico. Contiguous wilderness study areas (WSAs) under the administration of the Bureau of Land Management are located in Cochise, Graham, and Hidalgo counties. Overall, the area lies at the confluence of the Rocky Mountains and Sierra Madres and the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts. The revised preferred management scheme would provide for a mix of resource outputs, with an emphasis on grazing and fuelwood harvest, while allowing for a moderate development of recreational opportunities and wildlife habitat. Specifically, the plan would provide for intensive livestock grazing management, inclusion of two additional WSAs in the National Wilderness Preservation System, designation of the South Fork of Cave Creek and other areas as zoological /botanical areas, implementation of a moderate wildlife and fishery habitat improvement program, and development of an erosion and sedimentation control scheme. Other areas addressed in the plan would include use of prescribed fire, land acquisition and exchange, management of natural resource areas, maintenance of transportation and utility corridors, transference of water rights, and watershed management. The plan would also involve construction and maintenance of 400 miles of forest roads and 147 miles of trails. The present net value of the plan is $717.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Management of the forest under the preferred scheme would result in a moderate increase in developed recreation sites, maintenance of off-road travel opportunities at approximately the existing level, an increase in the amount of land designated as wilderness, maintenance of present habitat levels for some species and improvement of levels for other species, a balance between forage and livestock use, creation of extremely vigorous timber stands, improvement of watershed conditions over the next 50 years, and maintenance of the existing socioeconomic patterns of forest communities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Prescribed burning, road and trail maintenance, and other management and exploitative activities would disturb soils and associated vegetative and animal species. LEGAL MANDATES: National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the first draft environmental impact statement, see 83-0011D, Volume 7, Number 1.

AB  - The resources management plan described here includes land-use considerations focusing on cultural resources, energy, minerals, fire, forest, grazing, lands, recreation, soil, water, air, and wildlife. ' Prescriptions ' are presented for a variety of resource management ' units ', including both terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Aquatic resources include the Pine Mountain-Goldeneye Reservoir and the North Platte River, both in Wyoming. The dominant resource values at Pine Mountain-Goldeneye Reservoir are wildlife, with critical habitat for a rare and endangered species (bald eagle roosting, perching, and feeding areas) on Pine Mountain, and waterfowl and fisheries populations at Goldeneye Reservoir. Management at the North PLatte River area will focus on bald eagle habitat and seven canoe trail sites. (Halterman-PTT)

T1  - BLUE RIVER-GORE PASS PORTION OF THE HAYDEN-BLUE RIVER TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, GRAND AND SUMMIT COUNTIES, COLORADO (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JULY 1982).
AN  - 36401005; 300
AB  - PURPOSE: Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc., Colorado-Ute Electric Association, Inc., Platte River Power Authority, and Western Area Power Administration propose to construct and operate approximately 90 miles of 345-kilovolt (kV) transmission line between Hayden and the Blue River Valley in Colorado. The line would traverse portions of Grand, Routt, and Summit counties. In addition to installation of the line, the project would involve expansion of existing substation facilities at Hayden and construction of two new substations, one in Middle Park near Kremmling and the other northwest of Dillon. The line would be operated at 230 kV initially. This draft supplement to the final environmental impact statement of July 1982 addresses specific corridor routings within the Williams Fork and Blue River drainage areas and identifies the environmentally preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new line and substation facilities would provide a backup transmission path to serve Tri-State's and Platte River's eastern Colorado loads, satisfy the long-term needs in meeting the energy requirements in the project area, improve system reliability in the area, improve system stability for the Craig and Hayden generating stations, and leave the existing 115-kV and 138-kV lines in operation to provide additional transmission capacity that would function as backup transmission during an outage on another line. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Where transmission towers are placed on cropland or rangeland, minute amounts of these lands would be displaced. Construction activities would disturb critical ranges for elk and mule deer, traditional elk calving areas and ranges, and the mating and nesting areas of greater sandhill cranes, great blue herons, sage grouse, golden eagles, and prairie falcons. The line would traverse the Colorado River floodplain, with as many as seven transmission towers lying within the floodplain. The visual quality of land crossed by the line would be degraded somewhat. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Rural Electrification Act of 1936 (49 Stat. 1363).

T1  - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE WALKER PLANNING AREA, NEVADA.
AN  - 36396981; 309
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan is proposed for the 1.9-million-acre Walker Planning Area in Douglas, Lyon, and Mineral counties, Nevada. Under the preferred alternative, range management initially would authorize livestock use at the current level of 36,962 animal unit months (AUMs); implement a rangeland and watershed monitoring program to determine needed grazing use adjustments; manage the wild horse herd at 953 animals and the burro herd at 129 animals; manage wildlife habitat to provide a total of 18,451 AUMs for mule deer, antelope, and bighorn sheep; designate 68,000 acres as the Marietta National Wild Burro Range; and protect riparian habitat along 10.7 miles of streams and around 27 riparian areas. Wilderness management would involve designation of all 13,395 acres in the Burbank Canyon Wilderness Study Area as a scenic area, limiting off-road vehicle use to existing roads and trails, and designation of 16,000 acres in the Stewart Valley fossil site as an area of critical environmental concern. The East Walker River scenic area would be expanded to 4,300 acres. No wilderness study areas would be recommended as suitable for wilderness designation. Land disposition management would identify 26,000 acres meeting preliminary disposal criteria and would designate 341 miles of rights-of-way and planning corridors. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred plan would reduce erosion problems and would result in improvements in range conditions, water quality and distribution, riparian habitat, wildlife populations and rangeland, and fisheries habitat and populations. Timber management would make 3,000 cords of firewood available on the market, exceeding the present annual demand of 350 cords. Fossil resources would be protected. The electric power industry would be able to use planning corridors for transmission lines to connect the various power sources in the area. Long-term regional income would increase to $8,000 above current levels. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Long-term recreation use would increase. Lands not subject to special protection would experience gradual degradation and loss of antiquities due to natural causes, increased recreational use, mineral activity, and range activities. Wilderness values would not be protected on 92,995 acres. Mineral entry rights would be withdrawn from 1,420 acres. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - MANTEO (SHALLOWBAG) BAY PROJECT, DARE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT II TO THE FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF NOVEMBER 1980).
AN  - 36394053; 343
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan to provide a safe navigable channel from the Atlantic Ocean through Oregon Inlet to Roanoke Sound, North Carolina is proposed. Oregon Inlet is located 71 miles north of Ocracoke Inlet and 85 miles south of Cape Henry, North Carolina. The jetty designs described in the final supplement to the final environmental impact statement consisted of two parallel structures placed 2,500 feet apart, constructed over a three-year period. Since the original design was completed, Oregon Inlet has expanded to a width of 3,900 feet, and the ebb tide channel has migrated northward to a position coincident with the alignment of the north jetty, making construction there impractical. Accordingly, the jetty construction plan would be altered, and alignment and spacings would be made flexible to accommodate the inlet site conditions at the time of construction. The maximum spacing of the north jetty would be 5,000 feet from the south jetty. Improved flow control and navigability would be achieved by reducing this spacing as much as 2,500 feet. Construction would be staggered over five years to improve channel alignment by completing construction of the south jetty before initiation of the in-water construction of the north jetty. Ultimate jetty spacing would range from 2,500 to 5,000 feet, depending on the degree of channel migration caused by staggered construction. The variable jetty position and spacings would also necessitate flexibility in the location of construction staging areas. The storage area would be placed at the tie-in of the main jetty. The jetty design changes would also necessitate some changes in the sand bypassing system. The proposed feeder beaches for sand excavation would be 2,000 and 14,000 feet south of the jetty on the Pea Island side and between 2,000 and 18,000 feet north of the jetty on the Bodie Island side. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Jetty construction would provide a safe, navigable channel in Oregon Inlet. Improved navigation conditions would allow full development of the economic potential of the fisheries industry of northeastern North Carolina. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: If the jetties are placed at the maximum spacing of 5,000 feet, operation of dredging equipment and excavation of a large deep hole would occur within 900 feet of the Oregon Inlet Campground, disturbing camper activities and beach use. The jetty shore anchorage on Bodie Island would be less protective of the sand pit constituting the south end of Bodie Island; jetty and anchorage structures, however, would still provide more protection from erosion. LEGAL MANDATES: Archaeological and Historic Preservation Act of 1974 (16 U.S.C. 469), Estuary Protection Act of 1968 (16 U.S.C. 1221 et seq.), Executive Order 11988, Executive Order 11990, and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

T1  - FREEMAN DIVERSION IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, VENTURA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36389700; 333
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction is proposed of a permanent diversion structure in the Santa Clara River Valley and the Oxnard Plain of Ventura County, California, approximately 60 miles west of Los Angeles. The structure would be located in the Santa Clara River immediately downstream from the confluence of the Todd Barranca with the river. The structure would be 1,200 feet long and 60 feet wide, with a crest spanning the river. The overflow section would be 10 feet above the existing streambed, and a 4-foot-deep stilling basin would be located on the downstream face of the structure. The drop structure would be constructed of reinforced concrete and would contain weepholes to assure that subsurface water would pass to the downstream area. A concrete conveyance canal on the south bank would deliver water from the diversion structure 3,300 feet downstream to an existing pipeline system. This system would divert water either for direct surface use in Pleasant Valley and the Pumping Trough Pipeline area or for recharge in the Saticoy and El Rio Ground Water Recharge Facilities. A desilting basin would be constructed in an existing gravel pit approximately 2,800 feet downstream from the pipeline inlet and would be used to permit sediment from the diverted water to drop out before the water was conveyed for recharge or consumptive use. The project also could incorporate a fish ladder to provide passage for migrating fish and a fish screen to divert fish back to the Santa Clara River. A five-foot high chainlink fence topped with barbed wire would be installed around the canal, the service road, and portions of the wasteway. Cost of the project is $19.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Surface water flows from the Santa Clara River diverted at the Freeman structure would be returned to the aquifers underlying the Oxnard Plain to help reduce saltwater intrusion in the aquifers. Water quality for consumptive and irrigation uses would be improved, and agricultural production would be increased. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would eliminate 7.1 acres of riparian shrubland and woodland vegetation. Fish fatalities would occur during construction activities. Site specific impacts could occur to the least Bell's vireo and the salt marsh bird-beak. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Executive Order 11988, Executive Order 11990, and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

AN  - 36392209; 299
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of a 1,030-mile-long, 42-inch diameter buried oil pipeline from Los Angeles, California to Midland, Texas is proposed. The pipeline would begin at a terminal storage facility on a landfill island to be constructed in the port of Los Angeles. A channel and turning basin would be dredged to 75 feet below mean lower low water, and the dredged material would be used to construct the 115-acre island. The pipeline would proceed east, approximately paralleling Interstate 10 to Blythe, California. From Blythe the pipeline would continue east, crossing the Colorado River and traveling north of the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge, parallel to and in a common utility corridor with an existing natural gas line through Arizona and New Mexico to Pine Springs, Texas. From Pine Springs the line would continue to parallel natural gas pipelines, proceeding northeasterly, reentering New Mexico, and then traveling due east to a receiving terminal at Midland, Texas. The project also would involve construction of a 70-acre tank farm in the port of Los Angeles, a 100-acre tank farm in Midland, and 11 pumping stations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline would transport up to 900,000 barrels per day of surplus Alaska North Slope, California outer continental shelf, and Pacific rim crude oil from the west coast to existing crude oil networks that service refineries in the midwest and on the Gulf coast. Pipeline transmission within the United States would be more reliable and more efficient than existing service by ships through the Panama Canal or by pipeline through Panama. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the landfill island would destroy benthic habitat and temporarily would disrupt foraging areas of the endangered California least tern. The island would be located in an area of potential seismic activity, raising safety and oil spill issues. The pipeline would cross environmentally sensitive areas, including the Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard critical habitat and the Muleshoe Nature Preserve. The crossing of rivers and streams would create temporary construction impacts and a potential for oil spills into these waters. Major oil spills could contaminate sensitive groundwater basins.

T1  - PROPOSED MEAD/MCCULLOUGH-VICTORVILLE/ADELANTO TRANSMISSION PROJECT, CALIFORNIA, ARIZONA, NEVADA, NEW MEXICO, AND WEST TEXAS.
AN  - 36389486; 298
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of a 500-kilovolt transmission line from the vicinity of Boulder City, Nevada to the vicinity of Victorville, California are proposed. The preferred alternative would involve construction of either an alternating current (AC) line or a direct current (DC) line. The AC line would have a nominal capacity of 1,000 megawatts and would begin at McCullough and terminate at either Adelanto or Victorville. The DC line would have a nominal capacity of 2,000 megawatts from Mead to Adelanto. A converter station and associated facilities would be required within or adjacent to Adelanto, and a DC switchyard would be needed at Mead. Towers for the proposed line would be freestanding lattice structures; the typical span length between towers would be 1,200 to 1,400 feet. The conductor would be aluminum stranded, with a steel-stranded reinforced core. An overhead ground wire would protect the conductors from direct lightning strikes. The rights-of-way for the line would be 200 feet wide. Line construction would start in 1989, with an in-service date of 1991. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Electric power transmission facilities would reduce oil and gas dependence, provide access to the economy energy market, provide a path for sale of off-peak surplus capacity to California markets, offer support during an air quality Stage II or Stage III episode in the South Coast Air Basin, enhance system reliability, and provide transmission capacity to help meet forecasted power needs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way acquisitions would displace three single-family dwellings. The transmission line would degrade visual resources along its corridor, particularly where the route crosses the East Mojave National Scenic Area and Cave Mountain. Historical and archaeological resources, including those of Native Americans, could be disturbed. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Order 11988, Executive Order 11990, National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - FALL RIVER/LOWER VALLEY TRANSMISSION SYSTEM REINFORCEMENT, IDAHO.
AN  - 36386199; 301
AB  - PURPOSE: Reinforcement of the existing electric power transmission system in the Targhee, Drummond, Palisades, and Teton areas in southeastern Idaho is proposed. The preferred alternative would involve construction of a new 73-mile, 161-kilovolt (kV), partly single- and double-circuit line directly from Goshen Substation, located 15 miles southwest of Idaho Falls, to Drummond Substation, near Ashton, Idaho. Two 115-kV power circuit breakers would be added at Drummond Substation. The 161-kV line initially would be operated at 115 kV. In 1992, a 161/115-kV transformer would be added at Drummond Substation. An additional 115-kV circuit breaker would be required at Goshen Substation until the line was converted to 161 kV. The preferred alignment for the transmission line would head northeast from Goshen Substation, pass east of the town of Ririe, and cross the Snake River north of Ririe. The line then would continue north past the White Owl Butte and the Teton Dam site along county roads to Drummond Substation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would maintain reliable service loads in an area where existing lines are near capacity and where load growth is predicted. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The transmission facilities temporarily would disturb up to 750 acres of agricultural land and would permanently remove up to 2.6 acres from cultivation. The line would create a significant visual intrusion into the agricultural landscape and could interfere with radio and television reception. Approximately five acres of wildlife habitat would be eliminated for every mile of new access road constructed. Bird collisions with overhead wires would increase slightly. Construction activities would increase soil erosion and degrade water quality. Some segments of the transmission line would cross floodplains. LEGAL MANDATES: Clean Air Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 1857 et seq.), Executive Order 11988, and Noise Control Act of 1972 (42 U.S.C. 4901 et seq.).

T1  - MEDICINE LODGE PROPOSED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, BINGHAM, BONNEVILLE, BUTTE, CLARK, FREMONT, JEFFERSON, MADISON, AND TETON COUNTIES, IDAHO.
AN  - 36401090; 306
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a 10-year resource management plan is proposed for the 647,719-acre Medicine Lodge Resource Area located in Bingham, Bonneville, Clark, Fremont, Jefferson, Madison, and Teton counties, Idaho and Teton County, Wyoming. An additional 140,415 acres within the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) would be covered by the plan, and grazing management would be analyzed for 72,053 acres of the Twin Buttes Allotment in the Big Butte Resource Area. Under the preferred alternative, approximately 8,249 acres of land would be available for transfer from federal ownership by sale, exchange, or agricultural entry. A total of 515,040 acres would be open to fluid mineral leasing with standard stipulations, 341,820 acres with seasonal restrictions, and 44,870 acres under no surface occupancy restrictions. Only 28,300 acres would be closed to mineral leasing and 857 acres to solid mineral leasing. Commercial timber harvest would be allowed on 11,330 acres, deferred on 1,966 acres, and withdrawn on 296 acres. Approximately 621,000 acres of public land and 180,419 acres within the INEL would be managed to support 100,449 animal unit months of livestock forage. Off-road-vehicle (ORV) closures would be imposed on 18,907 acres. An additional 69,400 acres would experience seasonal closures to ORV use and 27,889 acres would have vehicle restrictions on existing roads and trails. Approximately 30.5 miles of streams would be managed to improve and protect riparian and fisheries habitat and water quality. Another 53 miles of streams would be managed to maintain existing fisheries. Full fire suppression would be practiced on 429,301 acres, and limited fire suppression would be practiced on 217,196 acres of woodland. The National Natural Landmark designation would be maintained for Menan Butte. Three areas would be nominated as Areas of Critical Environmental Concern. The 21,870 acres in the two Wilderness Study Areas would be recommended as nonsuitable for wilderness designation. A Special Recreation Management Area designation would be applied to the Sand Dunes complex and the Snake River. The Cress Creek Trail would be nominated as a National Recreation Trail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the preferred alternative would result in improvements in livestock range conditions, wildlife habitat, forage availability, water quality, fisheries and riparian habitat, recreational opportunities, and local social and economic conditions. More public lands would be available for transfer and for leasable and salable materials. This alternative would generate 407 jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Commercial forest land available for harvest would be slightly less due to withdrawal for threatened and endangered species habitat protection. Mining activities could destroy 4,160 acres of big game winter range. Developed recreational sites would be restricted in designated wilderness and primitive areas. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - BUFFALO RESOURCE AREA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, CAMPBELL, JOHNSON, AND SHERIDAN COUNTIES, WYOMING.
AN  - 36394295; 260
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a 10-year land and resources management plan for the 7.3-million-acre Buffalo Resource Area of northeastern Wyoming is proposed. The area contains 798,848 acres of land administered by the Bureau of Land Management and 4.7 million acres of federal mineral estates. The preferred management scheme would emphasize livestock preference in the Powder River Breaks and wildlife preference in the South Big Horns. Specifically, the plan would cover resource management in the following areas: oil and gas leasing, drilling operations, coal leasing, management of other minerals, development of utility corridors, development of access necessary to accomplish timber harvest, land disposition, forest and range management, recreation and visual resource management, wildlife habitat preservation, vegetation allocation, management of riparian habitat, and fire management. Associated improvements to be constructed or installed would include nine wells, two springs, five reservoirs, 15 miles of water pipeline, and 17 miles of fence. The three wilderness study areas (WSAs) in the resource area--Gardner Mountain, North Fork, and Fortification Creek WSAs--would not be recommended for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System; they would be managed under a multiple-use plan with special management provisions. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would provide for the forage needs of wildlife and livestock, decrease erosion along stream banks and channels, increase production of riparian vegetation, convert 1,400 acres of sagebrush to grassland, improve fish habitat in the South Big Horns, allow for disposal of up to 185,000 acres of land, allow commercial timber harvesting on 3,028 acres in the North Fork WSA and 810 acres in the Gardner Mountain WSA, improve range conditions through 1,400 acres of prescribed burning, and protect public land from indiscriminate vehicle use. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 50 acres of soil and vegetation would be disturbed each year due to range improvement projects. Cumulatively, approximately 26,500 acres would be disturbed by all management activities. Some wildlife/livestock conflicts would occur. Management and exploitative activities within the WSAs would alter their relatively pristine characteristics. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - NORTHWEST AREA NOXIOUS WEED CONTROL PROGRAM, WASHINGTON, OREGON, IDAHO, MONTANA, WYOMING.
AN  - 36396004; 259
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a noxious weed control program is proposed for Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming. The preferred alternative would involve an integrated program using herbicides and manual and biological methods to treat an estimated 24,564 acres of noxious weeds annually in the project area. Approximately 21,243 acres would be treated with herbicides using helicopter aerial, ground vehicle, and backpack methods of application. Manual treatment on 276 acres would include hand pulling and grubbing with hand tools. Approximately 800 acres would be treated mechanically, using mowing, tilling, and burning. Biological treatment on 2,245 acres would include grazing and the use of insects and pathogens. Herbicides used would include Tordon, Banvel, Roundup, and 2,4-D. Control programs would be limited to small areas in wilderness study areas and would not occur at all in wilderness areas, except where the weeds threatened outside areas or were spreading uncontrollably within the wilderness. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Weed suppression would improve rangeland productivity significantly and would prevent noxious weeds from spreading to noninfested lands. Recreational values would be enhanced by decreasing visitor exposure to the detrimental effects of the weeds. Measures would be taken to identify and protect cultural sites, and wildernesss values would be protected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Weed burning would degrade air quality slightly and produce a short-term loss of soil organic matter. Burning and tilling would increase soil erosion, with a consequent slight decline in water quality. Herbicides could affect nontarget vegetation and animal species. LEGAL MANDATES: Carson-Foley Act (P.L. 90-583), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Noxious Weed Act (P.L. 93-629), and Public Rangelands Improvement Act of 1978 (43 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.).

T1  - JOSEPHINE AND JACKSON-KLAMATH SUSTAINED YIELD UNITS, TEN-YEAR TIMBER MANAGEMENT PLANS, OREGON (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENTS OF OCTOBER 1978 AND NOVEMBER 1979.
AN  - 36387873; 272
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of 10-year timber management plans is proposed for the Josephine and Jackson-Klamath Sustained Yield Units, Medford District, Oregon. This supplement to the final environmental impact statement of November 1979 analyzes the environmental impacts of a proposed increase in clear-cutting from 9,000 acres to 55,300 acres, with an associated decrease in shelter wood harvest from 110,000 acres to 51,000 acres during the first decade, and of a proposed shift from percent basal area removed (30 to 60 percent equating to 12 to 16 trees left per acre to approximately 8 to 12 trees left per acre) after the first entry of shelter wood harvest systems. New road construction would decrease from 875 miles to 710 miles. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the overall net effect would be that 11 percent less acreage within the district would be affected by timber harvest and related activities than forecast in the earlier plan. Impacts on soil, stream sedimentation, water quality, vegetation, wildlife, fish, and visual resources would be less than those previously estimated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in increased air pollutants from a corresponding increase in slash burning. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. et al. v. Thomas S. Kleppe et al. (U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Civil No. 75-1861). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the final environmental impact statements and of the draft supplement to the final statements, see 79-0131F, Volume 3, Number 2; 80-0130F, Volume 4, Number 2; and 84-0594D, Volume 8, Number 12, respectively.

T1  - P R SPRING COMBINED HYDROCARBON LEASE CONVERSION, UINTAH AND GRAND COUNTIES, UTAH.
AN  - 36396939; 250
AB  - PURPOSE: Conversion of existing oil and gas leases to combined hydrocarbon leases is proposed for the P R Spring and Hill Creek special tar sands areas, located in Uintah and Grand counties, Utah. The proposed lease conversions would include the Beartooth A, Beartooth B, Bradshaw, Duncan, Enercor, Enserch, Farleigh, Kirkwood, Mobil, and Thompson projects. Approval of the conversion applications would permit phased tar sand development. A two-phased exploration program, lasting from one to three summers, would consist of reconnaissance followed by drilling of the exploratory wells. Reconnaissance, exploration, and site reclamation would not exceed 15 days per drill hole. Drill pad size would vary from 50 feet by 50 feet to 100 feet by 100 feet, with no more than one-quarter acre needed for a site. Exploratory holes containing suitable tar sands would undergo pilot development using in situ forward and reverse combustion recovery processes. After one year of successful operation, the pilot test site would be expanded into a full 10-acre commercial development, operating with five producing wells and eight air injection wells. A typical site would recover 150 barrels of oil per day. The oil would be trucked daily to a local Utah market. Three 210-barrel tanks would be used to store oil during bad weather. The life span of an individual project would range from 28 to 100 years or more, and individual projects would produce from 150 to 40,000 barrels of oil daily. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of synthetic fuels would add to the nation's energy reserves and lessen dependence on foreign sources of oil. Employment opportunities and per capita incomes would increase slightly, and native Americans would receive royalties from oil and gas production on their lands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development would be prohibited on those portions of the project areas lying within the Winter Ridge wilderness study area. The individual projects would disturb soils and vegetation, wildlife habitat, livestock ranges, and mineral and paleontological resources. Visual resources and transportation networks would be affected significantly. Air and water quality could be degraded slightly. Population growth would stress existing community facilities and could interfere with traditional native American values. LEGAL MANDATES: Combined Hydrocarbon Leasing Act of 1981 (P.L. 97-78).

T1  - ERADICATION OF CANNABIS ON NON-FEDERAL LANDS AND INDIAN LANDS IN THE CONTIGUOUS UNITED STATES AND HAWAII.
AN  - 36395591; 252
AB  - PURPOSE: Eradication of cannabis on nonfederal and Indian lands in the contiguous United States and Hawaii is proposed. The preferred eradication method would utilize the full range of manual and mechanical methods and the directed and broadcast methods of applying paraquat, 2,4-D, or glyphosate. Preferably, all available disposal methods would be used, including haul and burn, haul and bury, shred and till, and posting of the area. Selection of the eradication or disposal method would be based on such criteria as available manpower and equipment; number of plants and configuration of crops; proximity of cannabis to other crops, bodies of water, human habitation, and developed recreation areas; topography of the area; foliage density and plant height; soil type; accessibility; weather conditions; and time of year and maturity of the plants. For mature cannabis plants, paraquat would be the preferred herbicide; young plants would receive applications of 2,4-D and glyphosate. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The eradication program would reduce the available supply of illegal marijuana. The preferred alternative specifically would allow state and local law enforcement agencies to select the most appropriate eradication or disposal methods for their area. Landowners whose land was being used by others for marijuana cultivation would have the full use of their lands restored to them. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Disposal methods and herbicide applications could affect nontarget plant and animal species and would expose workers to occupational safety and health hazards. Indians and native Hawaiians could oppose herbicide use on their lands. Some sprayed marijuana could reach consumers.

T1  - LAKE MEAD NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, MOHAVE COUNTY, ARIZONA AND CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA.
AN  - 36394242; 255
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a general management plan is proposed for the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, located in Mohave County, Arizona and Clark County, Nevada. The preferred alternative would accommodate increasing visitor use by providing a combination of new developed areas, improved access points, acceptable levels of expansion in existing developed areas, and maximum resource protection. Visitor safety hazards from flash floods would be reduced by providing structural flood protection in five developed areas and nonstructural protection in other developed areas. Management zoning would restrict land uses on 75 percent of the area, and less restrictive zoning would cover 25 percent of the area. Mineral leasing would be eliminated in 88 percent of the area. Carrying capacity limits would be set for the number of slips in each marina with a parkwide total of 8,370, or an increase of 90 percent over 1978 levels. The information and education program would be aimed at encouraging visitor safety and resource protection, providing information and orientation, and educating visitors about the area's resources. The cabin site policy would not be changed, but the number of short-term trailer sites would be expanded. No lands would be recommended for wilderness designation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed plan would accommodate increased levels of visitor use of the area. Flood protection measures would reduce the number of people in the 100-year floodplain and would diminish the potential hazard to the approximately 4,000 visitors using the floodplain on a summer day. The desert spring communities of Bluepoint and Rogers would be protected. Mineral leasing restrictions would not significantly affect mineral production because such activity has been primarily speculative and has resulted in almost no surface disturbance in 20 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Property in the flood-hazard zone would remain susceptible to flood damage. Increased visitor use would offset gains in water quality obtained by relocating swimming and shoreline-related activities. Development of roads and other structures would destroy or severely damage 500 acres of lithosols and red desert soils and cause minor disruptions in drainage patterns, temporarily increasing erosion potential. Additionally, mineral development on 30,000 acres would destroy vegetation, increase soil erosion, and disrupt wildlife habitat, including that of the bighorn sheep in the Pinto Valley. The 545,645 acres of land meeting wilderness criteria and the 128,730 acres that potentially meet wilderness criteria would not receive such designation and would be open to mineral leasing and other nonwilderness uses.

T1  - NEW MEXICO STATEWIDE WILDERNESS STUDY.
AN  - 36396994; 256
AB  - PURPOSE: Final designation is considered for 37 wilderness study areas (WSAs), encompassing 786,391 acres of public land, in New Mexico. The preferred alternative would recommend all or part of 18 WSAs, totaling 407,919 acres, for wilderness designation and would recommend 19 WSAs, totaling 378,472 acres, for nonwilderness designation. All areas identified for wilderness designation have high-quality wilderness values and low resource conflicts with wilderness designation and are capable of being managed as wilderness over the long term. Lands considered unsuitable for wilderness designation would be managed under existing land-use plans. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The naturalness of the areas, unique features in the WSAs, solitude, and primitive recreation opportunities would be maintained on lands receiving wilderness designation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Resource use and development would impair wilderness values on lands designated unsuitable for wilderness. Wilderness designation would preclude development of tin, nickel, and cobalt resources and would restrict livestock grazing slightly.

T1  - OREGON WILDERNESS.
AN  - 36393641; 258
AB  - PURPOSE: Final disposition is considered for 77 wilderness study areas (WSAs) totaling 2.3 million acres in eastern and southeastern Oregon. The preferred alternative would recommend 949,989 acres in 41 WSAs as suitable for wilderness designation and 1.4 million acres as nonsuitable for wilderness designation. Wilderness areas would be withdrawn from location of new mining claims and the issuance of mineral leases upon designation. Livestock grazing, where previously established, would be allowed to continue, and new grazing facilities could be constructed to protect rangeland or wilderness resources. The wild horse herd would be maintained. Prescribed burning may be practiced, and fires would be controlled; in some cases, however, natural fires would be allowed to burn to return some wilderness ecosystems to a more natural state. Insect and disease outbreaks would be controlled if they threatened timber or other valuable resources outside a wilderness area or caused the loss of an endangered species within the wilderness area. Water resource facilities that existed before wilderness designation may be used and maintained. Motorized equipment and vehicles may be used for maintenance activities when no alternatives exist. Nonmotorized and noncommercial recreation would be permitted. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation would allow natural ecosystems and ecological processes to function with minimal human influence. Ecological, geological, and historical features would be preserved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values would be impaired in areas not receiving wilderness designation and in some adjoining wilderness areas. Wilderness designation would preclude such commercial resource use as livestock grazing, timber harvesting, and mineral development.

T1  - BRISTOL BAY REGIONAL MANAGEMENT PLAN, ALASKA.
AN  - 36386647; 225
AB  - PURPOSE: A programmatic, comprehensive management plan for the 31-million-acre Bristol Bay region is proposed in accordance with Section 1203 of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980. This large, diverse region extends from the southeast shoreline of the Kuskokwim Delta east to the headwaters of the Mulchatna River and Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. The proposed plan would designate fish and wildlife habitat and harvest as primary uses in all 31 management units, providing guidelines for special protection of sensitive fish and wildlife habitat and cultural resources and recommending several land exchanges and cooperative agreements that would conserve fish and wildlife and cultural resources overall. The plan also would provide for national and orderly development of the region's economic resources, including recreation, forestry, agriculture, wilderness, electric power, oil and gas, minerals, and settlement. Recreation would be a primary use on 21 units and secondary use on 2 units; small-scale timber harvest would be a secondary use on 6 units; vegetable gardening for personal and local use would be a secondary use on 2 units; grazing would be a secondary use on private land within 5 units; wilderness would be a primary use on congressionally designated lands; small-scale, local power generation systems would be encouraged; oil and gas development would be a primary use on state, federal, and native lands, including more than 3 million acres of state land located on the Alaska Peninsula, and would be a secondary use on moderate- and low-potential lands including the Nushagak Peninsula, the Nushagak and lower Kvichak river basins, and portions of the Becharof, Togiak, and Alaska Peninsula national wildlife refuges; mineral exploration and development would be a primary use on all state (except Wood-Tikchik State Park) and federal and most native lands in the vicinity of known mineral terrains; and new settlement would be either a primary or secondary use around all existing communities, as well as 14,000 acres of state land to be made available for settlement. The programmatic nature of the proposed Bristol Bay Cooperative Management Plan makes analyzing potential environmental impacts difficult. POSITIVE IMPACTS: This plan is intended to establish common goals and achieve consensus on land use among many agencies. Plan implementation would provide for the conservation and protection of significant fish, wildlife, and cultural resources, while allowing opportunities for moderate economic development of the region. Approximately 13,250 acres of state land would be available for remote settlement. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Oil and gas leasing that could occur on 600,000 acres of tideland and additional upland areas and small-scale hydroelectric developments would disturb a small portion of the region. Mineral entry activities would also result in disturbance of land, vegetation, and wildlife, but such entries would be controlled and restricted. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487).

T1  - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, SOUTH DAKOTA RESOURCE AREA, MILES CITY DISTRICT, SOUTH DAKOTA.
AN  - 36395781; 206
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan is proposed for 280,672 surface acres and 5.3 million acres of federal mineral estate in the South Dakota Resource Area, located in Belle Fourche, South Dakota. The preferred alternative would designate for disposal 85,000 acres or 30 percent of the total surface acreage. Disposal would include 5 percent sales and 95 percent exchanges. Vegetative apportionment would constitute the second issue that the resource plan would address. In the short term, vegetative apportionment for livestock would be 45,305 animal unit months (AUMs), with watershed and wildlife forage and cover receiving 116,103 AUMs. In the long term, vegetative apportionment for livestock would increase to 50,367 AUMs, with watershed and wildlife forage and cover receiving 127,808 AUMs. Livestock would be excluded from 1,331 acres of riparian areas. Fencing and water developments would be required, in addition to the normal two miles of fence and eight water sources, to protect riparian areas. Prairie dog management and noxious weed control would occur as necessary. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Changes in grazing management and range improvements would convert 31,783 acres from fair to good or better condition. Vegetation and erosion conditions would improve on 6,082 acres of fragile soils as livestock grazing was deferred until after the spring wet season. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mechanical land treatment measures temporarily would increase soil erosion and displace wildlife.

T1  - CONSOLIDATION COAL COMPANY'S CX RANCH MINE, BIG HORN COUNTY, MONTANA.
AN  - 36394524; 203
AB  - PURPOSE: Development of a surface mine in Big Horn County, Montana, approximately 2 miles west of Decker, Montana and 22 miles north of Sheridan, Wyoming, is proposed. The mine would lie along the lower reaches of Squirrel Creek, just northwest of the Tongue River, and would cover 1,905 acres. Coal-processing facilities to be built would include a coal dump station, primary crusher, secondary crusher, coal loadout, storage silos, conveyors, and other minor structures. Mine roads, railroad lines, and support facilities would be constructed. Mining would involve topsoil removal, overburden excavation, and detonation to blast the coal strata. Shovels then would load the broken coal into 170-ton bottom-dump trucks, which would carry the coal from the pit to bins at the dump station. All land would be reclaimed. Construction would begin in 1988. Coal production would begin in 1990 and would last 12 years, with possible extension to 33 years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The mine would produce 47 million tons of coal over 12 years and 332 million tons over 33 years, helping the nation to meet its need for coal and lessening dependence on foreign sources of oil. The 12-year mine would employ 600 workers, and the 33-year mine would employ 940 persons. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the mine would alter the topography and the natural soil profile, degrade water quality, and diminish vegetative diversity and vigor. The 12-year project would disturb 974 acres, and the 33-year mine would disturb another 2,000 acres. Roughly 150 acres of pronghorn winter range would be removed, a sage grouse wintering area would be eliminated, and three raptor nest sites would be destroyed. Mining would damage or destroy 6 prehistoric sites and could affect 12 other such sites. Population increases in Big Horn and Sheridan counties would stress community services and transportation networks.

T1  - NORTHEAST RESOURCE AREA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, COLORADO.
AN  - 36393391; 201
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a multiple-use resource management plan is proposed for the Northeast Resource Area, Wheatridge, Colorado. The plan addresses 40,030 acres of public land and 615,000 acres of subsurface minerals on nonfederal land, both currently administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Under the preferred plan, all surface lands with public value would be transferred from BLM to various agencies: The Forest Service would receive 4,390 acres, the National Park Service would receive 120 acres near Estes Park, state and local agencies would receive 7,400 acres, and the private sector would receive 4,850 acres. The remaining 23,190 acres would require further study prior to tenure adjustment. The subsurface mineral estate under BLM administration would increase to 631,270 acres. Twenty-eight management issues would be addressed, including access to the lands, timber harvesting, vegetation management, wildlife habitat, livestock grazing, soil and water quality, scenic and recreational values, mineral extraction, open space, cultural resources, paleontologic and geologic sites, and economics. With the main portion of the resource area managed by the Forest Service, less access to land probably would be pursued, open space probably would not be specifically protected, and locatable minerals would fall under regulations slightly less favorable for development than other agencies' regulations. Expected management costs for the first five years would increase 17 percent from previous years; thereafter they would decrease 67 percent under the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Few activities would sacrifice long-term productivity for short-term use. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Diversion of the land to residential development through general sale would permanently preclude recreational use and preempt the natural resource value of the area. Mining would represent an irreversible extraction of mineral resources. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 84-0277D, Volume 8, Number 6.

T1  - BOX ELDER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, UTAH.
AN  - 36394571; 207
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan is proposed for the 1.0-million-acre Box Elder Planning Area in northwestern Utah. Under the preferred alternative, a total of 4,975 acres would be placed in the disposal category and the remaining 1.0 million acres would be in the retention category. The current withdrawal of 6,840 acres would continue, and 980 additional acres would be withdrawn to protect the threatened Lahontan cutthroat trout on the Pilot Mountains. Fluid mineral leasing categories would consist of 725,794 open acres, 288,065 open acres with special stipulations, and 6,380 open acres with no surface occupancy. No acreage would be closed to leasing. Forage distribution would include 45,704 animal unit months (AUMs) for livestock and 16,536 AUMs for wildlife. The proposed plan also would consider a trial reintroduction of 50 elk on the Grouse Creek and Raft River mountain ranges, a bighorn sheep reintroduction on the Pilot and Newfoundland mountains, and an increase and reintroduction of pronghorn. Off-road vehicle (ORV) use designations would consist of 983,174 open acres, 28,550 limited acres, and 70 closed acres. The Pilot Mountains, the old Central Pacific Railroad grade, and Red Butte Mountain would be proposed as Areas of Critical Environmental Concern. In addition, the old Central Pacific Railroad grade would be proposed for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places and for designation as a National Historic Trail. A fire management plan would be developed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Forage use by livestock would remain at active preference levels, and forage use by big game would remain at current levels. Grazing management efficiency would be improved by disposal of isolated land parcels, and forage conditions would be improved by season-of-use changes. Hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities would increase, and visual qualities would remain static or improve. Ranch incomes would increase. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Erosion in four critical or severe areas would continue. Mineral exploration and ORV use would contribute to continued soil loss and to wildlife disturbances. Disposal of isolated lands could result in a loss of wildlife habitat. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSAL TO MODIFY THE INDIAN FISHING REGULATIONS TO AUTHORIZE COMMERCIAL HARVESTING OF ANADROMOUS FISH, HOOPA VALLEY INDIAN RESERVATION, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36396033; 227
AB  - PURPOSE: Modification of fishing regulations for the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation is proposed to authorize commercial harvesting of anadromous fish by tribal members of the reservation. Prior to authorization, a harvest management plan would be prepared for each species of fish. Each plan would establish the number of fish required to meet spawning goals and the number of fish needed to meet any subsistence or ceremonial needs. Commercial fishing would be permitted on a species-by-species basis in those years when subsistence, ceremonial, and spawning allotments were exceeded by the expected run. In-season closure of the commercial fishery would occur if the expected run did not materialize. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Commercial quotas and schedules would provide tribal members of the reservation with an equal opportunity to exercise their fishing rights to the fullest extent possible consistent with the perpetuation of the fishery resource of the Klamath River drainage. The action would carry out the trustee obligation of the Federal Government to the tribes to protect the natural assets of the reservation and to aid in making these assets productive for Indian purposes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Although there would be no impact on climate, air quality, water quality, geology, mineral resources, noise, and visual resources, one aspect that might be affected is public health and safety, due to conflicts among commercial, sport, and subsistence fishers.

T1  - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE KEMMERER RESOURCE AREA, LINCOLN, SUBLETTE, SWEETWATER, AND UINTA COUNTIES, WYOMING.
AN  - 36386399; 208
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan is proposed for 1.6 million surface acres of the Kemmerer Resource Area in southwestern Wyoming. The preferred alternative would limit geophysical exploration on critical big game winter range and in areas occupied by bald eagles, raptor species, elk, sage grouse, and domestic sheep. Mineral leasing would be allowed with approximately the same restrictions. Range improvements would be undertaken to maintain a total active grazing preference of 162,000 animal unit months (AUMs), with a long-term increase of 31,901 AUMs. Fish and wildlife habitat would be maintained primarily by restricting surface-disturbing activities in sensitive areas. No recreational developments would be undertaken in the immediate future, but three recreation area management plans would be developed in the long term for Raymond Mountain, Pine Creek, Dempsey Ridge, Commissary Ridge, Upper Hams Fork, and Upper Smith's Fork areas. Off-road vehicle use would be restricted to existing roads and trails, with closures in Raymond Mountain and Sliderock Trail. Snowmobile use would remain open except in the Rock Creek area for wintering elk. The Raymond Mountain area would be maintained as an area of critical environmental concern. Silvicultural treatments for all productive forest areas would focus on improving the condition and productive capacity of the stands. Land tenure adjustments would be considered, and rights-of-way corridors would be designated. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The long-term productivity of wildlife would be enhanced, and sensitive species would be protected. Weed and pest control would benefit vegetation and livestock owners, and predator control would benefit sheep owners. Recreational and mineral exploration needs would be met. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Protection of sensitive wildlife habitat would occur at the expense of geophysical exploration, mineral development, and livestock grazing. Coal mining would disturb 2,365 acres, and sodium production would disturb 15,200 acres. Both activities would degrade surface and groundwater quality.

T1  - TWO RIVERS RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, OREGON.
AN  - 36396241; 205
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan is proposed for 324,705 acres of public land and 384,074 acres of subsurface mineral estate underlying private land in the Two Rivers Planning Area, located in central Oregon. The two rivers are the John Day and the Deschutes rivers, and the planning area lies between the Cascade Mountains on the west and Morrow and Grant counties on the east, in an area north from Crook and Deschutes counties to the Columbia River. Under the preferred alternative, all riparian areas along the two rivers and their major tributaries would be managed to full potential, with a minimum of 60 percent of the vegetative potential to be achieved within 20 years. Forage requirements for deer and elk would be met, and upland vegetation would be managed to achieve maximum wildlife habitat diversity. All streams with fisheries or fisheries potential would be managed to achieve a good to excellent condition. Forage available for livestock would remain at 17,778 animal unit months (AUMs) in the short term and would be increased to 19,920 AUMs in the long term. Timber harvest would be conducted on 10,715 acres of commercial forest land, with a sustained yield of 1.41 million board feet annually. Public lands would remain open for exploration and development of mineral resources and related rights-of-way. Restrictive stipulations for oil and gas exploration would remain in effect on 132,000 acres of public land to protect areas with high visual quality. Approximately 20,000 acres would be limited or closed to off-road vehicle use. Five areas with identified outstanding natural or cultural values would be designated as research natural areas. A total of 33,600 acres would receive additional study to determine whether they should be sold or otherwise disposed of. Approximately 1,000 acres of land would be sold annually. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide a flow of renewable resources from the public lands on a sustained yield basis while protecting or enhancing natural values. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Management actions would disturb the natural setting of the area, and some user conflicts would occur.

T1  - Colorado River Augmentation Demonstration Program
AN  - 19033843; 8801609
AB  - Wintertime field investigations of clouds and precipitation were conducted from January 1983 through March 1985 over the Grand Mesa of western Colorado. Resulting analyses are discussed including spatial and temporal distributions of SLW (supercooled liquid water), precipitation characteristics, airborne and ground-based ice particle observations, and the meteorological conditions associated with these cloud and precipitation phenomena. It was observed that SLW frequently occurred over the Mesa. The large number of hours with limited amounts contributed to a significant SLW flux. The SLW often formed over the windward slopes, persisted over the top, and rapidly evaporated to the lee of the barrier. Nature was inefficient in converting the SLW into precipitation in many cases. The Mesa created distortions in the free air flow. The wind in the lowest 500 m was slowed down over the windward slope and, for southwesterly or northwesterly directions, was turned approximately perpendicular to the barrier axis. The wind then accelerated over the lee slopes. A number of instrumentation intercomparisons are described. Systems include microwave radiometers, icing detectors, precipitation gauges, and radars used for cloud top observations. (Author 's abstract)

T1  - NORTH FORK WELL, SHOSHONE NATIONAL FOREST, PARK COUNTY, WYOMING.
AN  - 36392926; 149
AB  - PURPOSE: Drilling of a 5,000-foot exploratory gas and oil well by Marathon Oil Company is proposed for Section 34, T52N, R106W, near Pagoda Creek in the Shoshone National Forest, Park County, Wyoming. An area 75 feet by 80 feet would be cleared of all vegetation and graded nearly flat for the drill pad and reserve pit. The drilling rig, pipe rack, generator, tool house, living facilities, drilling mud pump, pit, and supply platform all would be built on the drill pad. A blooie hole would contain cuttings and dust from the air drilling. Support facilities would include a helicopter staging area along Clocktower Creek approximately one mile south of the Yellowstone Highway and a 2,550-foot temporary water pipeline from Pagoda Creek to the well site. Personnel, equipment, and supplies would be trucked to the helicopter staging area and shuttled to the proposed location by helicopters. Lease stipulations prohibit drilling before September 8; therefore, the starting date would be the late fall of the respective year and would have to be completed by the following January 1. Approval of the exploratory well would not include approval of production facilities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The exploratory well would allow Marathon Oil Company to test the underlying geologic structures for their oil and gas potential. A reclamation plan for disturbed areas at the well site would be implemented in the fall. Top soil would be respread, and the area would be revegetated with a mixture of Idaho fescue, little bluestem, and hard fescue. The staging area also would be revegetated. Construction, drilling, and decommissioning activities would increase local employment and personal income slightly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would disturb 2.5 acres of mountain slopes and ridgetop soils and cause an estimated 60 tons of erosion before the area was reclaimed. Increased sediment in Pagoda Creek from erosion could degrade trout spawning areas. Noise levels would increase from 30 decibels to 80 decibels at the drill site and to 90 decibels whenever a helicopter passed over. Big game would be displaced from winter habitat. The project also would encroach on grizzly bear habitat and increase the potential for bear conflicts with humans at the site. Recreation would be prohibited in the well area, and lands adjacent to the well area would lose their semiprimitive setting. LEGAL MANDATES: Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 84-0524D, Volume 8, Number 11.

T1  - GRAND JUNCTION RESOURCE AREA, RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO.
AN  - 36385530; 154
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan is proposed for the 2.0-million-acre Grand Junction Planning Area, located in west-central Colorado. Under the preferred alternative, existing withdrawals from mineral location on 124,443 acres would continue and an additional 154,067 acres would be withdrawn. Approximately 14,100 acres would be identified as unsuitable for further coal leasing. Approximately 624,701 acres would be open to oil and gas leasing without stipulations; 685,603 acres would be open to oil and gas leasing with stipulations; and 149,087 acres would be closed to oil and gas leasing. Air quality enhancement, soil stabilization, and watershed protection would be emphasized. Habitats of major wildlife species and of threatened and endangered plants and animals would be actively managed, but no new livestock management actions would be implemented. The wild horse herd would be allowed to expand from 65 to 120 animals. Paleontological sites and 11,685 archaeological sites would be protected. Approximately 1,319 acres of commercial forest land would be identified as suitable for management, and 2,800 cords of fuelwood would be offered for sale annually. The three existing developed recreation sites would be maintained, and the Mud Springs site would be expanded to accommodate more group use. Three intensive recreation management areas would be identified, and the remainder of the resource area would be managed as an extensive recreation area. Visual resources would be maintained. Approximately 800,190 acres would be closed or limited to off-road vehicles, and an additional 479,870 acres would be open to off-road vehicles. A total of 149,087 acres in four wilderness study areas would be recommended for wilderness designation. Fire-suppression techniques would be practiced. Utility corridors would be designated, and a land exchange program would be implemented. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would maintain or enhance air and water quality, visual resources, paleontological and cultural resources, timber and mineral outputs, recreational opportunities, and wildlife and wilderness values. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Interaction of management actions occasionally would limit some resource outputs. Wilderness designations and wildlife protection measures would limit mineral productivity, while surface-disturbing activities would degrade soil stability, water quality, visual resources, and primitive recreational experiences. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - PRELIMINARY WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE ARCATA RESOURCE AREA--KING RANGE WILDERNESS STUDY AREA AND CHEMISE MOUNTAIN WILDERNESS STUDY AREA--HUMBOLDT AND MENDOCINO COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36385503; 152
AB  - PURPOSE: Wilderness recommendations are proposed for the 29,300-acre King Range Wilderness Study Area (WSA) in Humboldt County and for the 4,300-acre Chemise Mountain WSA in Humboldt and Mendocino counties, California. The proposed alternative would recommend 21,200 acres of the King Range WSA for wilderness designation. The boundary would begin at mean high tide at the mouth of Willow Creek and extend easterly up the creek to HJ Ridge, along the ridge to the jeep trail on Johnny Jack Ridge, southerly along the jeep trail except at points where the trail leaves the King Range, at which points the King Range boundary would become the wilderness boundary, to the Telegraph Ridge Road, easterly along the road to the Smith-Etter Road, easterly and then southerly along Saddle Mountain Road to the South Fork of Gitchell Creek, and westerly to mean high tide of the mouth of Gitchell Creek. The preferred alternative would not recommend any acreage of the Chemise Mountain WSA for wilderness designation. This WSA would be managed as a primitive area with emphasis on primitive recreation and solitude experiences. No camping facilities would be provided. The trail system would be connected to the trails within the adjacent Sinkyone State Wilderness Park. No logging would be permitted. Mineral development involving surface disturbance also would not be permitted. Limited actions to control insects or diseases could be allowed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness and primitive designations would protect the wilderness values of the two areas and would be compatible with current recreational and resource use. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Vegetative manipulation and soil and watershed protection measures would not be allowed in areas receiving wilderness or primitive designations. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - RIO PUERCO RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36392730; 156
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan is proposed for the 8.6-million-acre Rio Puerco Resource Area, located in central and north-central New Mexico. The preferred alternative would identify 22 special management areas (SMAs), totaling 426,636 acres. The Ignacio Chavez SMA would be managed for a combination of uses, including 1,700 acres that would be open to intensive fuelwood cutting. In addition, limited greenwood cutting to reduce the invasion of pinyon and juniper into stands of ponderosa pine would be permitted. Other actions in the SMAs would involve closing roads to motorized vehicles and designating two areas and certain roads and trails for off-road vehicle use. Short-term reductions in livestock grazing would occur on six allotments, with no reductions occurring on the remaining allotments. Approximately 58,000 acres of scattered and isolated land tracts would be made available for ownership adjustment. Fuelwood would be available through commercial or home-use sales from approximately 9,320 acres of land. Small additional amounts of fuelwood would be provided as a result of habitat improvement projects and rights-of-way clearing and from dead-and-down wood. Rights-of-way corridors would be designated, and approximately 8,800 acres of public coal would be identified as acceptable for further consideration for leasing. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Designation of SMAs specifically would benefit wildlife habitat and would improve the overall ecological condition of the areas. A full spectrum of recreational opportunities would be provided, from primitive to more highly developed roaded experiences. Resource outputs would be realized with minimum conflict with wilderness values. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Livestock grazing would be reduced in the short term. Fuelwood cutting and rights-of-way construction temporarily would disrupt the natural setting of the area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - EAGLE LAKE-CEDARVILLE WILDERNESS STUDY AREAS, CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA.
AN  - 36393274; 153
AB  - PURPOSE: Wilderness designation is proposed for 13 wilderness study areas (WSAs) totaling 697,058 acres in the Eagle Lake and Cedarville resource areas, California and Nevada. The preferred alternative would recommend portions of the WSAs for wilderness designation based on resource potential, boundary considerations, manageability, and wilderness qualities. The following wilderness designations would be considered: 7,660 acres of the 20,650-acre Tunnison Mountain WSA; 37,240 acres of the 63,790-acre Skedaddle Mountain WSA; 52,530 acres of the 95,025-acre Dry Valley Rim WSA; 54,970 acres of the 91,405-acre Twin Peaks WSA; 17,320 acres of the 52,143-acre Little High Rock Canyon WSA; 11,980 acres of the 33,310-acre High Rock Canyon WSA; 31,810 acres of the 52,000-acre East Fork High Rock Canyon WSA; 780 acres of the 24,130-acre Sheldon Contiguous WSA; and 23,260 acres of the 158,730-acre Massacre Rim WSA. In addition, 48,730 acres of Massacre Rim WSA would be designated an area of critical environmental concern, and 200 acres and 1,650 acres of non-WSA split estate of the High Rock Canyon and East Fork High Rock Canyon WSAs, respectively, would be recommended suitable for wilderness designation. No acreage would receive wilderness designation in the 48,460-acre Five Springs WSA, the 47,315-acre Buffalo Hills WSA, the 45,790-acre Wall Canyon WSA, and the 13,050-acre Yellow Rock Canyon WSA. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness values would be protected on 239,690 acres in the resource area. Reintroduced bighorn sheep would benefit due to reduced visitor levels. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Unsuitable designation of 459,508 acres would lead to a slow decline of wilderness values. Future development on, and access to, 10 private inholdings would impair solitude in designated wilderness areas. Approximately 18,000 acres of wilderness would be foregone because of range seedings and herbicide applications. No new mineral claims or leases would be permitted in the designated wilderness areas.

T1  - DENALI NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERVE, KANTISHNA HILLS/DUNKLE MINE STUDY, ALASKA.
AN  - 36389078; 151
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and mineral resources management plan is proposed for the Kantishna Hills and Dunkle Mine areas of Denali National Park and Preserve of Alaska. The Kantishna Hills area comprises 196,500 acres near Wonder Lake and north of the former Mount McKinley National Park boundary in a group of low-lying hills. The Dunkle Mine area encompasses 22,400 acres south of the Alaska Range and east of the West Fork of the Chulitna River near Broad Pass. Under the preferred alternative for the Kantishna Hills study area, a mineral leasing program would be implemented for placer and lode deposits on unclaimed land in those portions of the study area that contain known and potential significant mineral resources. Approximately 107,435 acres, or 55 percent of the study area, would be open to mineral leasing and subject to new mining disturbance. Of that total, 52,599 acres in the Clearwater Fork drainage would be open for leasing of lode minerals only. The remaining 54,836 acres would be open for leasing of both placer and lode minerals. The National Park Service would administer the leasing program. Under the preferred alternative for the Dunkle Mine study area, the National Park Service would continue to manage mining activities, and mining could commence on the undeveloped valid unpatented claims. Currently no mining activities are occurring on these claims. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of minerals within the areas, which contain silver and gold, would provide needed precious metals for consumption by the nation and would increase the employment base within the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities allowed under development alternatives would degrade hydrology, water quality, soils and vegetation, wildlife, fishery resources, historic and cultural resources, recreational resources, and potential wilderness areas. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487) and Mining Law of 1872 (30 U.S.C. 21 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 83-0339D, Volume 7, Number 7.

T1  - IMPROVEMENT OF INTERSTATE HIGHWAY ROUTE 5 IN SHASTA COUNTY, FROM 1.6 MILES NORTH OF THE LAKEHEAD UNDERCROSSING TO 1.2 MILES NORTH OF SHOTGUN CREEK, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36385384; 171
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of 12.9 miles of freeway in Shasta County, California is proposed to close a gap in Interstate 5 (I-5). The project, which is located approximately 30 miles north of Redding, would extend from a point 1.6 miles north of Lakehead Undercrossing to a point 1.2 miles north of Shotgun Creek. The project would involve improvement or relocation of a segment of expressway. At-grade access would be eliminated, and controlled access would be provided via interchanges at Vollmers, La Moine, Baker Road, and Gibson. An overcrossing would be constructed to separate The Gables from the I-5 segment. Local access would be provided via frontage roads connecting interchanges and the overcrossing. A typical cross-section of the freeway would consist of four 12-foot travel lanes, 10-foot outside shoulders, 5-foot inside shoulders, and a 30-foot median. Design speed would be 60 miles per hour. Estimated total cost of the project is $74.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By closing the freeway gap, the project would complete I-5, significantly reducing the accident rate on the affected segment and enhancing travel on one of the most important transportation and communications corridors on the Pacific Coast. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace three state-owned rental residences, and timberland and associated wildlife habitat within the Sacramento River floodplain would be lost due to encroachment on the floodplain. Plant species under consideration for designation as rare and endangered would be destroyed. Archaeological sites would be disturbed, and one historic site could be impacted; these sites could be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Area aesthetics could be degraded, and one commercial establishment could suffer due to removal of traffic from its vicinity. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966 (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Executive Order 11988, Federal Aid Highway Act of 1968 (23 U.S.C. 128(a)), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - COMPREHENSIVE IMPACTS OF PERMIT DECISIONS TO CONDUCT SURFACE COAL MINING OPERATIONS UNDER TENNESSEE FEDERAL PROGRAM.
AN  - 36389187; 148
AB  - PURPOSE: Representative model mines were developed to evaluate the range of impacts associated with the issuance of coal mining permits under the Tennessee Federal Program. For the purpose of this analysis, the Tennessee bituminous coal field was divided into five regions: Cumberland Block, Wartburg Basin, Northern Cumberland Plateau, Southern Cumberland Plateau, and Walden Ridge South. For each of the five regions, three to five model mines were developed to represent the range of mining activities including underground mines, mountaintop removal mines, contour mines, auger mines, and area mines. A model preparation plant and tipple facility were developed to characterize the impacts associated with the storing, processing, and loading of coal in the five regions. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Because most future mining would occur on previously disturbed and partially reclaimed areas, reclamation in accordance with the Tennessee Federal Program would improve the productivity of these areas beyond their present state. After mining and reclamation, the land would support postmining uses of comparable value, although for several years the land would be more sensitive to mismanagement, drought, and intense rainstorms. Pasture productivity could be restored within five years. Coal mined in the area would satisfy energy needs, and mining activities would produce tax revenues, royalties, and employment opportunities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Although the collective issuance of permits would result in improvements to unreclaimed areas in the other four regions, most permits in the Walden Ridge South Region would result in new disturbance. Cumulative hydrologic impacts in this region would be potentially significant due to the inability of certain drainages to accommodate additional levels of contaminants. LEGAL MANDATES: Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 84-0576D, Volume 8, Number 12.

T1  - ERADICATION OF CANNABIS ON FEDERAL LANDS AND INTERMINGLED FORESTS AND RANGELANDS IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1984).
AN  - 36387619; 150
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of methods and strategies for cannabis eradication on federal lands and intermingled forests and rangelands throughout the contiguous 48 states is proposed. Most cannabis grown illegally on federal lands east of the Continental Divide is found in the Southern Appalachian and Ozark forests. Very little cannabis has been found on federal lands in the Coastal Plains, and none is grown in the wetlands, salt marsh, and riparian areas. On federal lands from the Rocky Mountains and west, most cannabis grown illegally is found in California and Oregon. The remainder is divided between the mountains of Washington, Idaho, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico, within lowlands and valley bottoms enclosed by mountains. This supplement to the draft EIS of May 1984 presents updated information on the risk associated with smoking marijuana that has been sprayed with 2,4-D, glyphosate, or paraquat. New information on the pyrolysis products of the herbicides, several new toxicological studies, and information on the no-observed-effects level for glyphosate also are included. The proposed eradication method would emphasize operational flexibility, permitting a full range of methods based on site-specific criteria. Manual, mechanical, and both spot and broadcast methods of applying paraquat 2,4-D or glyphosate would be available. Selection of the eradication method would be based on a number of factors, including available manpower and equipment, number and maturity of plants and configuration of plots, general remoteness and accessibility, weather conditions, and time of year. Environmental factors include proximity to water bodies, human habitation, and developed recreation areas; topography; foliage density and plant height; soil type; and presence of unique resources, such as endangered or threatened plants. The proposed disposal alternative is one of operational flexibility, under which all methods for disposal of eradicated cannabis would be available, including haul and burn, haul and landfill, shred and till, or posting of the area. Disposal methods would be based on site-specific and situation-specific conditions. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The elimination of cannabis cultivation on public lands would return these lands to their rightful users. Booby traps and other site hazards would be removed, improving safety of visitors, contractors, and federal employees. Eradication of cannabis fields would decrease the costs of federal, state, and local law enforcement activities. Cannabis cultivation on public lands also hampers the ability of federal agencies to accomplish their management objectives. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Herbicidal eradication methods would kill or injure all vegetation in the plot. Aerial application could cause temporary brownout of peripheral vegetation. Herbicides could be sprayed on wildlife, or wildlife could eat sprayed leaves, berries, or seeds. Burning of cannabis in open fields could burn adjacent areas if not properly controlled. There is a small possibility that marijuana sprayed with herbicides could reach consumers. LEGAL MANDATES: Clean Air Act of 1977, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7411 et seq.); Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.); Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act of 1947, as amended (7 U.S.C. 121 et seq.); Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.); and Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980 (16 U.S.C. 2901 et seq.).

T1  - JACKPILE-PAGUATE URANIUM MINE RECLAMATION PROJECT, LAGUNA INDIAN RESERVATION, CIBOLA COUNTY, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36393929; 155
AB  - PURPOSE: Approval of a reclamation plan is proposed for the Jackpile-Paguate uranium mine, located on three leases of Laguna Indian tribal lands in Cibola County, 40 miles west of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The mine was operated by Anaconda Minerals Company from 1953 through early 1982. Of the total 7,868 leased acres, 2,656 acres were disturbed by mining. The disturbed areas include 3 open pits, 32 waste dumps, 23 protore (subgrade ore) stockpiles, 4 topsoil stockpiles, and 66 acres of buildings and roads. Three alternative plans are under consideration, involving different filling treatments of the open pits. Under Anaconda's proposal, the open pits would be backfilled to at least three feet above projected groundwater recovery levels. The DOI plan would involve backfilling the pits with protore, excess material from waste dump resloping, and soil cover to elevations 40 to 70 feet higher than Anaconda's minimum. The pits then would remain as closed basins, or open channels would be constructed to convey runoff from the pit areas to the Rio Paguate. The Laguna proposal would consist of backfilling the pits seven feet above the DOI proposal. For all alternatives, highwall stability techniques would involve removal of loose material and buttressing with waste and overburden. Waste dump slopes would be reduced to between 2:1 and 3:1, and slopes could be terraced. Jackpile Sandstone exposed by resloping would be covered with four feet of overburden and one foot of topsoil. Mine site facilities would either be removed or cleaned up and left intact. All disturbed areas would be covered with topsoil and seeded. Reclamation would be considered complete when revegetated sites reached either 70 percent or 90 percent of that found on comparable reference sites. Post-reclamation monitoring periods would be 3, 5, or 10 years, depending on the alternative chosen. Cost estimates range from $54.2 million to $57.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The reclamation proposals would, to varying degrees, restore the mine site to productive land use (primarily livestock grazing), reduce radiological and physical hazards, blend the visual characteristics of the mine site with the surrounding lands, and provide employment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: A one-time loss of 3,000 to 4,000 acre-feet of water would occur as water percolated into the pit backfill.

T1  - NARROWS UNIT, SOUTH PLATTE DIVISION, PICK-SLOAN MISSOURI BASIN PROGRAM, WELD AND MORGAN COUNTIES, COLORADO (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1976).
AN  - 36393351; 184
AB  - PURPOSE: The alteration of the design of the Narrows Unit multipurpose reservoir in Weld and Morgan counties, Colorado, is proposed. This supplement to the final EIS of May 1976 on reservoir development considers the construction of a 133-foot-high rolled-earthfill dam extending 315 miles across the South Platte River approximately 7 miles northwest of Fort Morgan. At the top of the conservation pool, the reservoir would have a length of 13.5 miles, a shoreline of 36.5 miles, and a surface area of 13,189 acres. At the top of the inactive or minimum pool, the reservoir would be 6 miles long and have a surface area of 3,631 acres. Dam and reservoir uses would include supplemental irrigation water supply, flood control, recreation, fishery and wildlife habitat enhancement, and future municipal and industrial water supply. Land to be acquired and/or developed for project uses would include 13,189 acres for the conservation pool, 120 acres for a fish hatchery, 1,878 acres for recreational water development, 6,950 acres for flood storage above the conservation pool, 626 acres for road construction, 1,340 acres for terrestrial recreational facilities, and 6,758 acres for wildlife and fishery mitigation purposes. Wildlife and fishery mitigation lands to be developed north, west, and east of the reservoir would contain a headquarters building, maintenance equipment, fencing, check stations, parking lots, and a fish hatchery unit. The hatchery would be located downstream of the dam and would include a warm-water hatchery and a cold-water rearing unit. Recreational facilities to be developed would be designed to accommodate picnicking, camping, boating, sailing, water skiing, fishing, hunting, hiking, horseback riding, swimming, and sightseeing. Project construction activities would span a period of approximately 12 years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The reservoir would provide for the irrigation, water supply, flood control, and recreational needs of a multicounty area within the state of Colorado. A well-stocked lake fishery and surrounding terrestrial habitat would enhance and diversify the natural environment in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of acquired lands would require relocation or displacement of 20.3 miles of state highway, 27 miles of railroad track, 81 miles of transmission line, 10 miles of pipeline, 38 miles of telephone line, 90 miles of domestic water supply pipelines, a portion of a golf course, and 10,998 acres of irrigated farmland. In addition, 2,191 acres of farmland would be placed in public domain. Approximately 60 prehistoric and historic sites would be inundated. An extensive section of river would be replaced by the reservoir, resulting in inundation of the main channel, 2,666 acres of riparian bottomland forest, and 2,500 acres of wetland. More than 13,100 acres of wildlife habitat would be lost, and the area's population of endangered whooping crane could be jeopardized by the project. Approximately 725 residents of the communities of Weldona, Goodrich, and Orchard and the surrounding rural areas would be relocated due to inundation; eight businesses, two post offices, school facilities, and two churches would also be acquired. Thirty graves located in one cemetery would have to be relocated.

T1  - PROPOSED NORTON-TESUQUE 115 KV OVERHEAD TRANSMISSION LINE AND SUBSTATION IN SANTE FE, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36403215; 107
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction is proposed of a 115/12.5-kilovolt (kV), 10 /12.5-megavolt-ampere (MVA) substation in the Tesuque area and of 9.8 miles of 115-kV overhead transmission line from the Norton station to the new substation in an area approximately three miles north of Sante Fe, New Mexico. The project would involve the granting of a 100-foot width right-of-way by the Tesuque Pueblo, the construction of the substation on the Tesuque Pueblo Indian Reservation, the addition of a 115-kV breaker bay at Norton Station, and the installation of two underground 12.47-kV distribution feeders to connect to existing ones in the Tesuque area. In addition, the station would be designed to accommodate one future underground 12.47-kV feeder that would terminate at a future distribution line in the Tesuque area. Eight alternative routes for the transmission line are under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide additional power capacity during emergency situations and would meet the needs of the rapid growth demands of the northern Santa Fe area. The project also would be a strong primary power source in the Tesuque area and a backup to Mejia feeder 1, a relatively vulnerable link in the existing power network. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Biological and physical systems in 36 acres along the proposed route and at the substation site would be affected temporarily by construction activities. After revegetation, 0.25 acres would be removed from productivity during the existence of the facility. Transmission structures, conductors, and shield wires would disrupt the visual resources of the area and could lower property values of adjacent land tracts. Prehistoric cultural resources could be disturbed by construction activities. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - AMSELCO COLOSSEUM PROJECT, COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36392661; 110
AB  - PURPOSE: Reopening and expansion of the underground Colosseum Mine in the Clark Mountain Range, eastern San Bernardino County, California is proposed. Operations would include open pit gold mining, milling, metals recovery, disposal of treated tailings in an onsite impoundment, offsite disposal of other potentially hazardous wastes, and reclamation. Waste rock would be placed in rock dumps close to the mine and mill site. Water would be supplied from a well field in Shadow Valley, and electric power would come from a Southern California Edison substation near Mountain Pass. During the nine-year life of the mine, approximately 12 million tons of gold-bearing ore, or 1.4 million tons annually, would be produced, containing an estimated average of 0.064 ounces of gold per ton. Other project components would include haul roads, waste rock dumps adjoining the mines, a crusher/mill/refinery and shop complex, an onsite electrical substation, water storage tanks, vehicle access corridors, and corridors for power transmission lines and water pipelines. Three alternative access routes, two alternative water pipeline corridors, and an alternative power transmission line are under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would help meet the national demand for gold for commercial, industrial, and scientific uses and would help reduce the nation's foreign trade deficit. Additional direct and indirect local employment would be generated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would involve the loss of wildlife habitat, grazing lands, and sensitive plant populations. There would be a reduction in drinking water supplies for cattle and wildlife, disturbance of bighorn sheep and other wildlife, topographic alterations, changes in drainage and erosion patterns, temporarily increased drawdown of water in Shadow Valley, and potential for accidental release of hazardous chemicals. Archaeological and historic sites would be disturbed, visual and primitive recreation values would be impaired, and the access route could traverse part of a wilderness study area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470).

T1  - LAKE ANDES-WAGNER UNIT, SOUTH DAKOTA PUMPING DIVISION, PICK-SLOAN MISSOURI BASIN PROGRAM, SOUTH DAKOTA.
AN  - 36392987; 142
AB  - PURPOSE: Irrigation of 45,000 acres in the Lake Andes-Wagner region, Charles Mix County, South Dakota, is proposed. Under the preferred alternative, water would be pumped from Lake Francis Case. Principal project features would include the main pumping plant, six large relift pumping plants, five smaller relift plants, the main canal system, and the drainage system. The main pumping plant would be located on an arm of Lake Francis Case, called North Bay. Water would be pumped up to the head of the main canal for delivery to project lands. Relift pumping plants would serve lands in those areas higher than the canal. Irrigation would occur by sprinkling, mostly with center pivots. A system of surface and subsurface drains would remove excess water and return flows from the project area. Installation of subsurface drains would be deferred until needed, with deferral ranging from 5 to 40 years. Return flows would accrue to Lake Andes and Choteau Creek. Total investment costs are estimated at $140.4 million, and the benefit-cost ratio is 1.01. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Mitigation measures would compensate for losses in fisheries, wetlands, woodlands, and grasslands. The project and the mitigation plan would yield annual irrigation benefits estimated at $13.1 million, fish and wildlife benefits at $41,000, and unemployment resources benefits at $436,000. Yankton Sioux Indians, among whom the unemployment rate is 75 percent, would be among the benefactors of the improved economic climate. The outmigration trend could be slowed if employment increased. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wildlife habitat, consisting of wetlands, grasslands, and woodlands, would be lost, and fishery habitats could be diminished. Some lands would be severed by the canal route and would not receive water from the project. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Executive Order 11593, Executive Order 11988, Executive Order 11990, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - WHITE SANDS RESOURCE AREA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36392513; 114
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan is proposed for the 1.8-million-acre White Sands Resource Area, Otero and Sierra counties, New Mexico. Under the preferred alternative, livestock grazing systems would be implemented on Category I allotments. Long-term forage production would be increased through chemical vegetation treatments on 58,742 acres, prescribed burning on 2,381 acres, and seeding on 1,597 acres. Rangeland improvements would include pipelines, fences, wells with pumps or windmills, storage tanks, drinking troughs, earthen stock tanks, and a catchment. Forage would be provided for 12,588 mule deer and 1,666 pronghorn, while the wild burro herd would be maintained at 12 animals. Watershed values on 62,586 acres of rangeland would be improved. Off-road vehicle (ORV) use on this same acreage would be limited to existing roads and trails. All land (1.6 million acres) not limited or closed to ORV use would be designated as open. Several special management areas would be designated to protect riparian and visual resources. Petroglyph sites would be protected from ORV use and surface occupancy. Approximately 45,000 acres would be considered for land tenure adjustments. Approximately 240 miles of new roads would be constructed, and 36 miles of easements would be acquired. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Livestock animal unit months would increase 23 percent above preference in all categories in the long term. Riparian habitat improvements along Percha Creek and Lake Holloman would benefit waterfowl, deer, and riparian species. Wind and water erosion, sediment yields, and peak runoff rates would decrease. Acres in excellent, good, and fair ecological conditions and good forage value classes would increase. New vehicular access would improve recreational opportunities. Total receipts would increase to $4.4 million. Hired ranch labor would increase by 16 jobs, and salaries paid to ranch hands would increase by $111,587. Social values, attitudes, and beliefs in the region would be reinforced for those who have the identity of rancher. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Long-term water depletion by livestock, wildlife, and earthen tank evaporation would be 450 acre-feet annually. The sale of 45,000 acres of public land would remove these areas from federal management and protection. Rangeland improvements would reduce the wilderness quality of the Brokeoff Mountains and Little Dog Canyon wilderness study areas. Cultural resource sites could be damaged by recreational and management activities. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Public Rangelands Improvement Act of 1978 (P.L. 95-514).

T1  - PICEANCE BASIN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, COLORADO.
AN  - 36392473; 111
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan for the Piceance Basin Planning Area in northwestern Colorado is proposed. The area encompasses 804,580 acres of land within the White River Resource Area in the Craig District of the Bureau of Land Management. The preferred management scheme would permit additional open-pit oil shale leasing if off-tract disposal needs could be met. A sequential lease-offering process would be followed whereby critical carrying capacities for air and water quality, wildlife, and socioeconomic values would not be exceeded. Sodium-only leases would be allowed once existing leases were developed; however, they would not be permitted if they would reduce oil shale recoverability. Oil and gas leasing would be legally controlled. A mineral materials inventory would be conducted to identify lands with the best potential for sand and gravel development. Such development would not be permitted in mandatory protection areas, while existing or previously used sites would be favored. The water resource inventories would be completed as scheduled. Watershed management plans would be developed to identify management practices necessary to maintain or improve water quality. A 5-year sale plan for timber would provide 2,500 cords of pinyon-juniper firewood and 250,000 board feet of Douglas fir sawtimber annually. Livestock grazing would accommodate a long-term allocation of 64,011 animal unit months. A wild-horse management plan would be initiated, with a goal of 100 animals. Wildlife habitat would be improved for recreational species, raptors, and threatened species. Rare and sensitive plants would be monitored and protected. More intensive recreational management practices would improve access and use of the area. Sixteen utility corridors would be designated for major linear rights-of-way. A fire management plan would permit continued prescribed burning practices. In the Soldier Creek area, 160 acres would be designated an area of critical environmental concern. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Short-term mineral use would be enhanced. More oil shale (with the exception of open-pit mining extraction) would be left in place for future extraction. Land reclamation would permit renewed vegetation growth and livestock grazing at the conclusion of mining operations. Shale oil projects would enhance national economic productivity by offering a new energy and income source. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Short-term mining activities could decrease the long-term productivity of mineral use. Mining activities would affect the quality of the air, agricultural lands, vegetative cover, and groundwater. Livestock grazing, wildlife habitat, and sensitive plant and animal species would be disturbed. Recreational and visual resources would be disrupted. Socioeconomic changes would disrupt current community values. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 84-0278D, Volume 8, Number 6.

T1  - PROPOSED JOHN HENRY NO. 1 MINE, KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 36381978; 108
AB  - PURPOSE: Development of a coal mine, designed to produce 5.32 million tons of lignite over a 16.2-year period, is proposed near the community of Black Diamond in King County, Washington. The surface mine, to be known as the John Henry No. 1 Mine, would comprise approximately 500 acres of rolling, second-growth timber and cut-over lands containing one small lake and marshy wetland. Two surface pits would be developed to mine six bituminous coal seams, all of which are pitching from 30 to 45 degrees. Coal would be extracted from a depth of 250 feet below ground level in an open-pit mine configuration advancing along the coal seam subcrops parallel to the geologic strike. A heavy-media-separation coal-processing facility of closed-circuit design would be constructed within the permit area to wash impurities from the run-of-mine coal. Since approximately 35 percent of the coal would be separated out as impure, the total life-of-mine clean coal production would amount to 3.46 million tons. Impure coal would be returned to the mine pits or placed in permanent overburden piles as part of the backfilling and reclamation process. Final reclamation of all disturbed areas and support facilities would be completed approximately three years after mining was completed. Maximum annual production of 385,000 tons of coal (250,000 tons of clean coal) would be reached by approximately the sixth year of mining and would continue through the 13th year. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Coal produced at the mine would be transported by truck and rail to industrial consumers in the Seattle area, in eastern and western Washington, and in western Oregon. In addition to contributing to the nation's effort to replace imported oil with other energy sources, the mine would increase local employment rolls. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities would disrupt topography, soils, and vegetation on 363 acres of the 82-square-mile Green River District. In addition, the mine would degrade surface water and groundwater quality, wildlife habitat, and adjacent residential land. State and local tax bases would be reduced.

T1  - FEDERAL COAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1979).
AN  - 36387310; 109
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of standards and procedures under which the Secretary of the Interior would make federally owned coal available for production through competitive lease sales is proposed. Lands on which the mining of federal coal would cause unacceptable damage to lands or resources would be identified; tracts found suitable for mining would be further evaluated with respect to other considerations such as wildlife management, recreation, watershed protection and stock grazing. Tracts would be ranked regionally in each of the eight federal coal regions, according to assessments of the quantity and quality of coal, the expected cost of extraction, and the social, economic, and environmental impacts of mining. This draft supplement to the final EIS of April 1979 compares impacts projected for the 1979 program at the 1990 medium production level with impacts projected for this supplemental action at the 1990 medium production level. Comparisons are based on a projected coal production of approximately half that projected in 1979. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the 1985 proposed action medium production level for 1990, 65 percent less land would be disturbed than would have been disturbed under the 1979 program, including 1 percent less disturbance to cropland, 12 percent less disturbance to rangeland, and 13 percent less disturbance to woodland. Direct losses of wildlife habitat and individual animals would be 54 percent less. Total suspended particulates in the air would decrease from the original projection of 720,000 tons to 333,200 tons. Water use would drop 90 percent for a 50-percent drop in coal production. Historical, cultural, and recreation resources would be less affected, depending on the location of the mines. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Impacts to employment, population, and royalty and severance tax revenues in 1990 would be approximately 80 percent lower than earlier predictions. Miners and plant workers would continue to be exposed to health hazards, such as dust, fumes, stress, and excessive noise. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Coal Leasing Amendments Act of 1975 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Multiple Use Sustained Yield Act of 1960 (16 U.S.C. 528 et seq.), and National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

T1  - RANGELY CARBON DIOXIDE PIPELINE, WYOMING TO COLORADO.
AN  - 36392630; 104
AB  - PURPOSE: Issuance of a permit to Chevron USA, Inc. and to Exxon Company USA is proposed for construction and operation of a 173.8-mile pipeline to carry carbon dioxide from the Shute Creek gas compressor station in Sweetwater County, Wyoming to the Rangely Weber Sand Unit oil field in Colorado for use in enhanced oil recovery processes. The first 46.8-mile segment would be built by Exxon and would consist of a pipeline 24 inches in diameter. The remaining 127-mile pipeline would be 16 inches in diameter and would be constructed by Chevron. Carbon dioxide would be produced at the gas processing plant and carried at a rate of 200 million standard cubic feet per day under compression of 2,200 to 2,700 pounds per square inch. Eventually the carbon dioxide would be injected into oil-bearing strata at the Rangely Weber Sand Unit oil field. The pipeline route would parallel existing roads and pipelines for 92 percent of its length. From MP 80 to MP 120, the pipeline would be built simultaneously with Chevron's proposed phosphate slurry pipeline. Pipeline construction would take place in 1985. Operation would begin in January 1986 and continue for 12 to 16 years. After well field injection ends, the pipeline could be extended and used to carry carbon dioxide to other destinations. Ancillary facilities would include a microwave communication system and a supervisory control and data acquisition system to detect leaks. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would increase oil production by 28 percent in Rio Blanco County and by 14 percent in Colorado. By extending the life of the oil field, the project would postpone a 15 percent population loss in Rangely and equivalent losses in employment, income, business activity, and tax revenues. Oil related tax revenues, population growth, and employment growth would increase significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project itself would not adversely affect local areas, but its cumulative impact, together with interrelated projects, could stress the infrastructure of the Rock Springs community. Project construction would degrade visual resources along the pipeline; some visual impacts would last for the life of the project or longer. Construction also would generate more traffic, possibly increasing accidents and loss of life, and would cause a short-term loss of wildlife habitat. Care would be required during construction to avoid inadvertent damage to existing pipelines on oil and gas fields. LEGAL MANDATES: Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.).

T1  - LITTLE LOST RIVER FLOOD PREVENTION MEASURE PLAN, IDAHO.
AN  - 36384536; 136
AB  - PURPOSE: Flood prevention measures for the Little Lost River are proposed to protect the community of Howe and for adjacent cropland located in Butte County, Idaho. The preferred alternative would include a diversion structure in the channel to deliver winter flows into two off-channel infiltration trenches. Each trench would be one-half mile long, with a 10-foot depth, 10-foot bottom width, and 4:1 side slopes, and would be located west of the Little Lost River. A structure would be used to maintain an adequate depth of flow in the trenches and to prevent anchor icing in them. The diversion structure would be screened to prevent fish from entering the trenches. Spoil material would be placed adjacent to the trenches. Topsoil would be placed over the spoil and revegetated with adapted grasses, forbs, and shrub species. Estimated total cost of the project is $449,600, and the benefit-cost ratio is 1.8. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce flooding damages to private cropland, farmsteads and buildings, public roads, bridges and buildings, and community businesses and facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dewatering of the lower 10.5 miles of the Little Lost River would occur from December to March, causing the loss of approximately 4,200 trout in this section of the river, along with displacement and loss of some aquatic habitat. Additional losses would include 25 acres of sagebrush vegetation, 0.1 acre of riparian vegetation, and 100 feet of river channel. Fishing of flooded private lands would decrease by 721 angler days per year. A mitigation plan will compensate for the anticipated adverse impacts of plan installation. LEGAL MANDATES: Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act of 1937, as amended (7 U.S.C. 1010 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Food and Agriculture Act of 1962 (P.L. 87-703), and Soil Conservation Act of 1935 (16 U.S.C. 490a-f).

T1  - EL PASO ELECTRIC 345 KV, SPRINGERVILLE TO DEMING, TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36388648; 106
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of a 228-mile, 345-kilovolt (kV) transmission line is proposed from the El Paso Electric Company Luna substation, 1.5 miles north of Deming, to a point on the existing Tucson Electric Power Company transmission line near Red Hill, in New Mexico. Counties in New Mexico that could be directly affected are Luna, Sierra, Socorro, Catron, and Grant. The proposed line would use wood or steel towers, 51 to 55 feet high, placed at an average interval of 1,200 feet. More equipment would be added to the Luna substation, consisting of a 345-kV circuit breaker, two switches, a dead-end tower, and relay equipment. Communication and control would be provided through a microwave radio system. The transmission line would be paralled by a two-track road for routine patrol. Estimated cost of the project is $42.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would provide the El Paso Electric Company with transmission capability for obtaining lower cost power from Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado. The project also would allow the interconnected utility companies serving southern New Mexico to take more advantage of their existing facilities to provide electric energy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would degrade visual values generally, and the preferred alternative specifically would degrade the scenic, semiprimitive qualities in the Horse Mountain, Continental Divide, Mesita Blanca, and Eagle Peak wilderness study areas. Construction activities would create temporary land disturbances on 739 acres with the associated disruptions of wildlife habitat and would reduce livestock forage amounts by 66 animal unit months. The preferred alternative also would conflict with the Gila National Forest land management plan by crossing an area not designated for utility corridors. Approximately 40 cultural resource sites could be disturbed.

T1  - LOWER GILA SOUTH RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, LA PAZ, MARICOPA, PIMA, PINAL, AND YUMA COUNTIES, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36383895; 63
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan is proposed for 2.0 million surface acres and 1.9 million acres of subsurface minerals in the Lower Gila South resource area, located in La Paz, Maricopa, Pima, Pinal, and Yuma counties, Arizona. The preferred alternative would involve rangeland improvements consisting of the construction of 47 miles of fence, 10 reservoirs, and 7 wells. Portions of the New Water Mountains, Eagletail Mountains, Woolsey Peak, and Table Top Mountains wilderness study areas (WSAs), totaling 189,750 acres, would be designated as wilderness. The remaining portions of these WSAs and eight other WSAs, totaling 417,807 acres, would not be recommended for wilderness designation and would revert to multiple-use management. Approximately 73,000 acres of isolated land parcels would be made available for sale or exchange and 10 utility corridors would be designated. Mineral access and off-road vehicle use would be restricted on the lands proposed for wilderness designation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Long-term increases in available forage would allow livestock grazing to increase from the current 60,524 animal units months to 61,900 units. Net revenues and ranch values would increase slightly for medium and large ranches. Wilderness designations would preserve wilderness values and cultural resources and would protect desert bighorn sheep and tortoise habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mineral exploration and development and 199 mining claims would be precluded on lands designated as wilderness. Rangeland improvements would involve a burro capture plan. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - JOINT GUAYULE RUBBER PROGRAM, GILA RIVER INDIAN RESERVATION, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36396170; 62
AB  - PURPOSE: Cultivation of 1,000 acres of guayule (Parthenium argentatum), a latex-producing shrub, on farmlands located within the Gila River Indian Reservation, Maricopa and Pinal counties, Arizona is proposed. The Gila River Indian community would conduct the agricultural program at a site near their current guayule experimental operations. The crop would be established using 90-day-old transplants and irrigated with water from the Southside Canal. Harvesting would occur at the end of three years by digging the entire plant from the ground. The project would investigate guayule as a potential supply of natural rubber. Latex produced by this effort would be used in a future test and evaluation program by the Department of Defense. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The successful demonstration of the guayule agricultural and processing project could result in the development of a significant new industry for the desert Southwest. The Gila River Indian community would be the first group to realize the potential of this long-term growth, and its economy could be altered if the project were successful. The economy of desert regions of Texas, California, and New Mexico also could be altered. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Water quality could be degraded from the improper application of fertilizers, herbicides, and insecticides, coupled with excessive amounts of irrigation water. Worker health and safety also could be endangered by improper handling of chemicals. LEGAL MANDATES: Native Latex Commercialization and Economic Development Act of 1978 (P.L. 95-592).

T1  - YUMA DISTRICT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, YUMA, LA PAZ, AND MOHAVE COUNTIES, ARIZONA, AND SAN BERNARDINO, RIVERSIDE, AND IMPERIAL COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36396217; 64
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan is proposed for 1.2 million acres within the 2.7-million-acre Yuma District, located in Yuma, La Paz, and Mohave counties, Arizona and San Bernardino, Riverside, and Imperial counties, California. Under the preferred alternative, wildlife habitat would be a priority consideration on approximately 249,640 acres and seven riparian areas would be protected. A portion of the Cactus Plain and the Chemehuevi/Needles wilderness study areas would be recommended for wilderness designation. Two areas totaling 31,360 acres would be designated as special management areas, and another five areas totaling 149,905 acres would be managed to protect their natural values. Livestock grazing would be authorized at 3,998 animal unit months on four allotments. Approximately 45,480 acres of federal lands would be available for disposal and 31,220 acres would be acquired. Nine utility corridors and eight communication sites would be designated. Existing recreational facilities would be maintained, with additional facilities provided when warranted. Along Parker Strip, only floodproofed day-use facilities would be allowed within the 100-year floodplain. Existing off-road vehicle (ORV) use designations would be made permanent and ORV use in the remainder of the district would be limited to existing roads and trails. Continuous occupancy of mobile home sites would be restricted to one five-month period in a single year. Permanent residential use would be phased out. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A total of 412,520 acres of wildlife habitat would be maintained or improved, and habitat for the Yuma Clapper Rail would be protected. Cultural resources would be protected on 17,200 acres, unique natural features would be protected on 18,740 acres, six species of threatened and endangered plants would be enhanced, and rangeland vegetation would be improved. Livestock use would increase by 3,756 animal unit months. Prohibition of wood collection in high-use recreation areas would enhance visual resources, and ORV restrictions would benefit wildlife habitat and wilderness experiences. Ranchers' average annual revenue would increase to $39,100. Sale of public lands could increase county tax revenues up to $37,500 annually. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 59,500 acres would be withdrawn from mineral entry, and surface occupancy for oil and gas leasing would be withdrawn on 17,900 acres. Designation of Cactus Plain as wilderness could prevent livestock use of 2,400 animal unit months in the long term. Four species of threatened and endangered plants could be disturbed by existing ORV use designations. Construction of utility corridors and facilities would degrade wilderness values. Local retail and service industry receipts could decline due to restricting mobile home occupancy. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Order 11988 and Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED CELERON/ALL AMERICAN AND GETTY PIPELINE PROJECTS, SANTA BARBARA COUNTY TO EMIDIO, KERN COUNTY, AND CONTINUING TO FREEPORT, TEXAS.
AN  - 36383756; 54
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of pipelines is proposed for the transportation of heated crude oil from the Santa Barbara coast to the existing oil transportation networks in central California and western Texas. Celeron/All American proposes to construct a 24- to 30-inch pipeline to transport 300,000 barrels per day (BPD) of crude oil to McCamey, Texas. Getty proposes to construct a 20- to 30-inch pipeline to transport 100,000 to 400,000 BPD to the existing Emidio pump station in western Kern County, California, south of Bakersfield. The Celeron pipeline would be 122 miles long and would begin at a point near Las Flores Canyon, parallel the north side of US 101 to the Gaviota Pass area, turn north and parallel the west side of US 101 past Buellton, cross the Sisquoc River, and enter the Los Padres National Forest at La Brea Canyon. After descending the Sierra Madre Mountains, the route would turn east and follow the north side of California State Highway 166 through the Cuyama Valley on to All American's Emidio pump station. The All American Pipeline Company proposes to construct a 1,084-mile-long pipeline to transport the oil from the Emidio station through Arizona and New Mexico into West Texas. The pipeline would cross the Tehachapi Mountains and the Mohave Desert, cross the Colorado River into Arizona, cross southern Arizona and southern New Mexico, cross the Rio Grande into Texas, and continue across West Texas to McCamey, Texas. Celeron's construction cost is estimated at $92 million and All American's cost at $59 million. The Getty Company proposes to build a 113-mile-long pipeline from the existing marine terminal facility at Gaviota. The pipeline would parallel US 101 west to the Gaviota Pass area, turn north, cross the Sisquoc River, enter Los Padres National Forest at La Brea Canyon, and descend the Sierra Madre Mountains into the Cuyama Valley. The corridor would then turn east and terminate at the existing Emidio pump station in the southern San Joaquin Valley. Construction costs would range from $10.9 million to $15.0 million, depending on the size of the pipeline. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline projects would transport heavy crude oil from Santa Barbara County to refineries that have the capability and capacity to refine the oil. A pipeline system would reduce the growing surplus of crude oil on the West Coast and would transport oil to markets that need and can utilize it. Use of the pipeline would add to the flexibility of Getty's marine terminal. Transportation of the crude oil by pipeline rather than by tanker would be less expensive and significantly more secure. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: All vegetation types crossed by the pipelines would suffer short-term impacts. Wilderness values would be lost in wildlife refuge and national forest areas. In the event of a major oil spill, effects on soils, groundwater, terrestrial and aquatic biology, and recreation could last from a few months to several years. Oak woodlands in the project area would suffer long-term effects. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - WESTERN ENERGY COMPANY, ROSEBUD MINE, AREA D, ROSEBUD COUNTY, MONTANA.
AN  - 36395840; 57
AB  - PURPOSE: Development of a surface mine in a unit of the existing Rosebud Mine, Rosebud County, Montana is proposed. The 3,073-acre unit, known as Area D, lies one mile northeast of the town of Colstrip. Of the entire area, 2,457 acres would be bonded for mining-level disturbance, 48 acres for facilities-level disturbance, and 568 acres for associated disturbance. The project would involve strip mining Area D with a dragline, first digging a long boxcut alongside the Rosebud cropline. Mining then would advance west and north in a semicircular pattern. Before any overburden excavation, scrapers would strip the soil, removing six to eight inches of topsoil and two feet of subsoil. The overburden then would be blasted with explosives and stripped down to the Rosebud coal seam. Seventeen-cubic-yard shovels would load the coal into 120-ton trucks. The trucks would haul the coal to Area E facilities, where the coal would be crushed before stockpiling or loading onto trains. No new facilities would be required at Area D except for a 200-foot-long haul road overpass across the Burlington Northern railroad. Mining would take place over 18 years at an average rate of 3.8 million tons annually. Operations would begin in 1985. All land within the mining area would be reclaimed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would contribute an additional 68.5 million tons of coal to the nation's energy supply. Since Area D would not create new jobs, mining operations would not cause increases in the local population. Operations in Area D would begin after Area E was depleted, thereby contributing to continued employment in the area. Mining would generate $304.6 million in tax revenues over the life of Area D. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining operations would dewater the Rosebud coal aquifer, remove five wells and three seeps, and possibly reduce flows and water quality in three nearby springs. Spoil water would discharge to upper cow and Pony creeks. Soil profiles, structure, and organic matter would be altered or destroyed. Mining and reclamation would decrease vegetative species diversity. Wildlife habitat, livestock grazing area, and some farmland would be disturbed. One prehistoric site could be disturbed, and six additional sites would be destroyed. LEGAL MANDATES: Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).

AB  - This volume includes 8 papers presented at the symposium. Topics covered the complexity of decision making at the National level, the role of science in the legislative process, how natural processes and land use practices must be considered as factors responsible for decreased pH, how estimating fish losses cannot be based on pH alone, experimental evidence demonstrating that low pH and aluminum decrease hatching of brook trout, and a summary of field and laboratory evidence for Ontario and a description of ongoing research.

T1  - Solute-loading resources in the Dirty Devil River Basin, Utah.
AN  - 14575265; 1454579
AB  - Water management planning for salinity control is often based on the assumption that a reduction in the solute-loading level is conserved downstream. This assumption was tested using field data from the Dirty Devil River Basin, in southeastern Utah, and in a batch (laboratory) study of water and sediment samples. The study was designed to identify the sources of solute loading in the basin and to determine the differences in solute loading from channel sediments, in response to variations in initial water quality. A primary goal was to determine the present extent of gypsum dissolution from channel material and its potential change if agricultural salinity-control measures are instituted.

T1  - Vulnerability of selected lakes and streams in the middle Atlantic region to acidification: A regional survey.
AN  - 14395840; 1236452
AB  - In conjunction with a similar study in the six New England States, 278 lakes and streams were sampled in the nine Middle Atlantic States (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee). Primary objectives of the study were to document the sensitivity of waters in the study area to acidification, and to test the validity of available models and classifications for predicting acidification of these waters. The study results indicate that a large number of relatively undisturbed waters in the Middle Atlantic States are either already acidified or are susceptible to acidification. Thus, parts of the Middle Atlantic States should be included on maps showing regions sensitive to acid precipitation. A large portion of the waters the authors sampled in the region have decreased in pH, alkalinity, or both in recent years.

T1  - The effect of acidic precipitation on amphibian breeding in temporary ponds in Pennsylvania.
AN  - 14306098; 1138233
AB  - This study assessed the impacts of acid deposition on amphibians breeding in temporary ponds in Pennsylvania by investigating the lowest pH's at which embryos could hatch, the physiological effects of low pH on amphibian larvae, pond chemistry and the influence of rainfall on pond pH, and the effect of pond pH on embryonic survival and local distribution of Ambystoma jeffersonianum and Rana sylvatica . At very low pH's, embryos stopped development soon after exposure. At higher but still lethal pH's, embryos became curled and failed to hatch. Embryos of Ambystoma were able to hatch even though they were curled, but R. sylvatica became trapped and died. Tadpoles from both ponds placed in a low pH pond underwent higher sodium efflux than when placed in the high pH pond. In studying the effect of low environmental pH, A. jeffersonianum was intolerant of low pH and was absent from most acidic ponds. R. sylvatica was tolerant and was found in ponds with the lowest pH.

T1  - HOOVER POWERPLANT MODIFICATION, CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA AND MOHAVE COUNTY, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36392105; 53
AB  - PURPOSE: Installation of additional generators to increase the generating capacity of the Hoover Dam and Powerplant on the Colorado River in Mohave County, Arizona and Clark County, Nevada is proposed. The existing dam and powerplant use water released from Lake Mead to generate power at a capacity of 1,800 megawatts (MW). The project would involve construction of a surface powerhouse on an extended transformer deck approximately 50 feet downstream of the present Arizona powerhouse. The new powerhouse would contain two 25-MW generators to increase the dam's hydroelectric capacity to 2,300 MW. The new generating units would be served through the existing 25-foot-diameter lower Arizona penstock contained in a 50-foot-diameter tunnel. The centerline of the lower penstock is at 647 feet above mean sea level (MSL), and the centerline of the turbines would be at 623 feet above MSL. An 18-foot-diameter branch penstock contained in a 26-foot-diameter tunnel would be constructed to divert water to each new turbine. Ancillary project facilities would include a surge tank with a diameter of 80 feet and a height of 230 feet, a conduit leading to the surge tank, two transformer circuits, and a temporary cofferdam to divert flows during construction. Cost of construction is estimated at $302 million, and the benefit-cost ratio is 1.7. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Additional power generated by the new turbines would help meet the need for additional peaking capacity in the southwest. Construction activities, which would continue over a 5-year-period, would employ 420 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the project facilities would increase water velocities below the dam, increasing soil and bottom instability; as a result, periphyton productivity would decline for at least six months after initiation of full operation. Fish species primarily affected would include trout, carp, and razorback suckers. The temperature of the river below the dam, currently a constant 54 degrees Fahrenheit, would fluctuate between 54 degrees and 57 degrees. Recreational opportunities in the Willow Beach area would decline. Debris and warm water could move upstream into the Willow Branch National Fish Hatchery, resulting in fish mortality. Construction activities would destroy 34 acres of desert wash vegetation that might not reestablish itself for more than 10 years. Weekly fluctuations in Lake Mohave could affect fish habitat. Increased water depths during high releases could increase erosion of archaeological sites. Increased water velocities and surface fluctuations would create navigational hazards and disturb recreationists above Willow Branch. Approximately 9.2 MW of powerhouse capacity would be lost during construction. Project facilities would mar the appearance of surrounding lands.

T1  - PROPOSED MONUMENT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, IDAHO.
AN  - 36394324; 66
AB  - PURPOSE: A comprehensive resource management plan is proposed for 1,178,989 acres of public land north of the Snake River in south central Idaho over the next 15 to 20 years. The Monument Planning Area encompasses 2,059,441 acres, including all of Jerome and Minidoka counties and portions of Gooding, Lincoln, Blaine, Butte, and Power counties. The area is bounded by the town of Bliss on the west, American Falls on the east, the Snake River on the south, and Craters of the Moon National Monument on the north. The planning area is divided between two resource areas. The Bennett Hills Resource Area contains 179,926 acres of public land west of the Gooding-Milner Canal, and the Monument Resource Area comprises 999,063 acres. The proposed management plan would make available 50,669 acres for transfer to other organizations: 20,796 acres for transfer by any method, 29,873 acres for agricultural interests, and 2,155 acres considered for Desert Land Entry privatization. Remaining under Bureau of Land Management (BLM) administration would be land important for livestock, 92 isolated tracts for wildlife habitat, and parcels of land essential for public access to BLM-administered public lands. In addition, Raven's Eye and Sand Butte wilderness study areas (87,902 acres) would be recommended for wilderness designation. Approximately 858,043 acres would be allotted for grazing, which would entail 142,879 animal unit months. Range improvements would comprise 19,000 acres of brush control through prescribed burning constrained to protect wildlife habitat and soils, 53 miles of fence, 74 miles of pipeline, 110 water troughs, 9 wells, 24 cattleguards, and 4 miles of road construction. Fragile soils would be protected from erosion through restricted off-road recreational vehicle (ORV) use on 2,585 acres, seeding of 150 acres, and designation of the Lake Walcott area as nonsuitable for farming. To sustain various wildlife habitat, artificial nests would be placed on parts of the 92 tracts isolated for wilderness for the ferruginous hawk, a candidate threatened species, and the burrowing owl, a sensitive species. For mineral development, 540 acres of existing material sites and 2,623 acres of possible mineral material sites would be made available for transfer from public ownership. Limited ORV use would be permitted on 2,680 acres, including some around Lake Walcott. For recreation needs, three special recreation management areas would be managed for intensive recreation use; the Vineyard Creek and Box Canyon /Blueheart Springs areas would be designated areas of critical environmental concern; 1,159 acres of geologic formations from the Bonneville Flood in Dry Cataracts National Natural Landmark would be protected; 6,996 acres would be designated areas of geologic interest; and four general cultural resource management plans would be prepared. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Sensitive, threatened, endangered, and candidate species would benefit as would upland game birds. Recreation use would continue to increase. Important natural history resources would be preserved. Measures to limit wildfire would benefit soils and wildlife. The local economy would receive significant benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Big game and nongame species populations would decline slightly. Soil losses associated with the various management actions would be irreversible and irretrievable. New soil would develop naturally at a very slow rate. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (P.L. 94-579) and Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. et al. v. Bureau of Land Management (U.S. District Court, Case No. 1983-73). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 84-0280D, Volume 8, Number 6.

T1  - POWDER RIVER RESOURCE AREA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, MILES CITY DISTRICT, MONTANA.
AN  - 36394880; 11
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a mineral resources management plan is proposed for 1.1 million surface acres and 4.1 million acres of federal mineral estate in the Powder River Resource Area of the Miles City District of Montana. The resource area lies in southeastern Montana and includes portions of Custer, Carter, Rosebud, and Big Horn counties. The preferred management scheme would involve coal development on current leases covering 39,391 acres and 961,300 acres of unleased federal coal land; allocation of 233,387 animal unit months (AUMs) of forage for livestock and 700,161 AUMs for wildlife and watershed uses; upgrading 160,024 acres of public lands; and designation of the Zook Creek and Buffalo Creek wilderness study areas (WSAs) as unsuitable for wilderness designation. Range management measures would include range facilities, prescribed burning, grazing management practices, and some mechanical treatment of lands. Cost of range management measures, which would be implemented over a 15-year period, is estimated at $6.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Making coal resources within the area available for mining would allow displacement of other, scarcer energy resources such as oil and gas. Opening of the coal fields would increase employment rolls in the immediate area, and generally contribute to the state's economy. Available vegetation for all uses would increase 12 percent, and 70 to 85 percent of the rangeland in the resource area would improve. Disposal of small, isolated tracts of land would ease management of the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Coal mining and range developments would, in combination, disturb cropland, forest land, and water areas, destroying vegetation and associated wildlife habitat and degrading water quality. Wilderness qualities would decline in the two WSAs to be declared nonsuitable for wilderness management. Several thousand cultural resource sites would be disturbed, of which 5 to 20 percent may be significant and eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.

T1  - MT. HOPE MOLYBDENUM PROJECT OF EXXON MINERALS COMPANY, NEVADA.
AN  - 36393836; 8
AB  - PURPOSE: Sale of 8,900 acres within the 10,000-acre Mt. Hope tract, located near Eureka, Nevada, is proposed for development of a molybdenum deposit by Exxon Minerals Company. Under the preferred alternative, a tailings impoundment and a minerals processing plant would be developed on a 2,440-acre parcel. An open pit mine would be developed on 700 acres in the vicinity of the ore deposit, and a mine complex would be operated on 5,760 acres. Rights-of-way grants would be required for a 22-mile power line extending along the western Diamond Valley, an 11-mile water supply pipeline corridor extending from central-southeastern Kobeh Valley to the project site, and a 6-mile relocation of State Route 278. Employee housing also would be constructed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Monies generated by the land sale would be available to the government for public lands improvement and administration. A prompt decision regarding the sale would permit Exxon to proceed with its mineral development plans. The project would contribute in excess of $1.2 million annually of net tax revenues and would enhance primary and secondary employment significantly. Population increases would result in a long-term expansion of the local infrastructure of housing and community services. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would disturb some prehistoric and historic sites; increase atmospheric concentration of nitrous oxides and sulfur dioxide; withdraw 7,630 acre-feet of groundwater annually from Kobeh Valley and degrade groundwater quality near the tailings pond; disturb the vegetative cover and increase soil erosion; reduce the amount of land available for livestock grazing, recreational use, timber harvest, and pine nut gathering; produce localized, short-term noise increases; and degrade visual resources in the area. Population influxes initially would stress community services. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - TUCSON AQUEDUCT--PHASE B, CENTRAL ARIZONA PROJECT.
AN  - 36382378; 35
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of the Phase B portion of the Tucson Aqueduct, an authorized feature of the Central Arizona Project, Arizona, is proposed. Phase A of the project extends from the end of the Salt-Gila Aqueduct in Pinal County to Rillito, Arizona, in Pima County. Phase B would extend from the terminus of Phase A to the Tucson metropolitan area and the southern boundary of the San Xavier Indian reservation. Under the preferred alternative, the aqueduct would be located primarily west of the Tucson Mountains and would be 47.5 miles long, consisting of 32.3 miles of concrete-lined canal, 15.2 miles of pipeline, and six pumping plants. The system would deliver an average annual volume of 161,900 acre-feet of water and would require 171 gigawatt-hours of electricity. A 27-mile power transmission line would be required. The project also would include overchutes and culverts to provide cross-drainage protection and minimize adverse effects on local surface drainages, highway and county bridges to minimize travel disruption, fencing and escape ladders for human safety, and wildlife mitigation measures. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would augment water supply in an area where the groundwater is being severely depleted. Water would be available for agricultural, municipal, industrial, and Indian users. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would involve the permanent loss of 345 acres of wildlife habitat, would contribute to wildlife drowning losses, and would act as a barrier to wildlife movement patterns. The aqueduct would pass through an area occupied by threatened plant and animal species and would degrade the high visual quality of the area. Operation of the pumping plants would increase noise levels slightly, and the presence of the aqueduct could result in minor access inconvenience to recreational users of the area. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Order 11988, Executive Order 11990, and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - WESTMORELAND RESOURCES' ABSALOKA MINE REVISED PLAN, BIG HORN COUNTY, MONTANA.
AN  - 36393177; 7
AB  - PURPOSE: The mining of an additional 629 acres by Westmoreland Resources at their Absaloka Mine in Montana is proposed. The mine lies on the eastern edge of Big Horn County, 26 miles east of Hardin. Just south of the mine is the Crow Indian Reservation. To the west, Sarpy Creek flows north to the Yellowstone River. Westmoreland proposes to mine an additional 65 million tons of coal in the permit application area. Mining would take place over 13 years at a rate of approximately 5 million tons per year. If the permit application is approved, the company could begin operations in the new area in 1985. Preliminary plans were also submitted for the remainder of the mine's life. In the life-of-mine plan, the company would mine an additional 208 million tons of coal from 2,096 acres, and the mine would close in the year 2017. POSITIVE IMPACTS: At maximum, 140 more jobs would be created at the mine and most likely would go to Crow Indian workers. At full production, the mine's payroll would increase from $4.1 million to $8.7 million per year. After revegetation, grasslands would cover 74 percent of the disturbance area, compared with the present 34 percent. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some erosion and sedimentation of reclaimed lands would be unavoidable. Eight springs would be removed by mining in the application area, and at least three other springs would probably cease flowing during mining. Mining of the application area would destroy 573 acres of vegetation over 13 years. Mining would have significant impacts on many wildlife species in the application area; however, no regional effects are anticipated. During maximum production, mining would significantly impact on present air quality, but Montana and federal ambient air quality standards would not be exceeded. LEGAL MANDATES: Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 84-0322D, Volume 8, Number 7.

T1  - GARNET RESOURCE AREA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, BUTTE DISTRICT, MONTANA.
AN  - 36392750; 10
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a resource management plan is proposed for approximately 145,660 surface acres and 213,385 acres of federal mineral estate in the Garnet Resource Area of northwestern Montana. Under the preferred alternative, approximately 105,020 acres, or 93 percent, of the commercial forest land would be available for forest management activities subject to restrictions to protect wildlife, riparian, watershed, soil, and recreation values. Range improvements would be undertaken to increase livestock carrying capacity 28 percent in the long term. The 520-acre Quigg West wilderness study area would be recommended for wilderness designation, and a 20-acre unique geological feature would be recommended as an area of critical environmental concern. Oil and gas leasing would be permitted on 205,066 acres, or 99 percent, of the federal mineral estate, and mineral entry would be allowed on 203,310 acres. Riparian and wildlife values would be emphasized, existing recreation sites would be maintained, motor vehicles would be restricted to open roads and land tenure adjustments would be implemented. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A timber harvest of 7,030 million board-feet would represent a 9-percent increase in the annual harvest and would create 63 jobs, or 6 more than at present. Range improvements would result in more than 90 percent of the range being in good or better condition over the long term and would cause a small increase in some rancher income from increased grazing capacity. Wilderness values would be preserved in the designated areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Timber management, range management, and mineral exploration would disrupt wildlife and aquatic habitat, detract from wilderness values, and degrade visual values. Land withdrawals and management restrictions would decrease resource yields. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - PROPOSED WILDERNESS PROGRAM FOR THE PHOENIX WILDERNESS EIS AREA (MARICOPA, MOHAVE, PIMA, PINAL, AND YAVAPAI COUNTIES, ARIZONA).
AN  - 36392692; 14
AB  - PURPOSE: Final designation is considered for six wilderness study areas (WSAs) totaling 54,713 acres in the Phoenix Resource Area and the Cerbat-Black Mountain Planning Area of the Kingman Resource Area in Arizona. The preferred alternative would recommend designation of the entire 2,065-acre Baboquivari Peak WSA as wilderness. The remaining 52,648 acres, consisting of the Mount Wilson, Hells Canyon, White Canyon, Picacho Mountains, and Coyote Mountains WSAs, would be released from the wilderness review process and returned to other multiple-use management. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation of the Baboquivari Peak WSA would ensure the continued preservation and enhancement of wilderness and related plant, wildlife, scenic, and recreation resources. Livestock grazing, mineral exploration and development, wildlife habitat manipulation, dispersed recreation use, and other land uses would be permitted on the remaining five WSAs withdrawn from wilderness designation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation could lead to visitor overuse, which could degrade solitude and supplemental wilderness values. Wilderness designation also would preclude livestock increases, mineral development, and the building or expanding of utility corridors, communication sites, and access roads. Return of WSAs to multiple-use management would increase the risk of impairing wilderness and associated scenic, wildlife, botanical, and cultural values.

T1  - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE SAN JUAN/SAN MIGUEL PLANNING AREA, COLORADO, NEW MEXICO, AND UTAH.
AN  - 16317942; 9
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of a land and resource management plan for the San Juan /San Miguel planning area in Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah is proposed. The area consists of approximately 994,000 acres of public land and 297,000 subsurface mineral acres. Specific management actions associated with the preferred plan would include an increase in livestock use to 73,601 animal unit months, management of wildlife habitat to support current population levels of 20,000 deer and 1,600 elk, an increase in pronghorn antelope to 300 animals, the reintroduction of 300 bighorn sheep, removal of the wild horse herd from the Naturita Ridge and the Spring Creek basin, improvement of aquatic and riparian habitat on the San Miguel and Dolores rivers and their tributaries, recommendation of the 28,539-acre Dolores River Canyon area as wilderness designation and the return of seven other wilderness study areas to multiple use management, disposal of approximately 21,800 acres through sales or exchanges, opening of 93 percent of the total acreage available for oil and gas exploration, opening of 34,000 acres of the Durango Known Recoverable Coal Resource Area (KRCRA) and 1,480 acres of the Nucla KRCRA for coal leasing, closing of the entire East Cortez KRCRA to leasing or development, designation of the Anasazi Cultural Use Area as an area of critical environmental concern, and management of the Tabeguache Creek area as an outstanding natural area. In addition, timber management on approximately 10,960 acres would yield a harvest of 6.5 million board-feet per decade; management of another 42,130 acres would provide woodland products, with a harvest of 6.4 million board-feet per decade. Watershed management would be implemented on 65,000 acres, and approximately 46,000 acres would be managed to reduce salinity in the Colorado River. Estimated cost of implementing the preferred plan is $2.3 million over a 10-year period. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Livestock herds would increase, and terrestrial wildlife and aquatic and riparian habitats would be improved. Consolidating public lands through disposal of small isolated parcels would improve efficiency of land use and lower the unit cost of management programs. Restrictions on oil, gas, and coal exploration would make some of these minerals available for current use while retaining wilderness and recreational values on closed lands. Timber management would result in future yields that double the existing unmanaged stand yields. Wilderness and recreation values would be enhanced in certain areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Leasing restrictions would result in the unavailability of significant reserves of oil, gas, and coal. Management projects would temporarily disrupt vegetative cover, water quality, and wildlife habitat; some archaeological and historical sites may be permanently damaged. Nonwilderness designation of seven wilderness study areas would allow mineral exploration and development to occur. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 84-0279D, Volume 8, Number 6.

T1  - BOOK CLIFFS RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, UTAH.
AN  - 36394185; 12
AB  - PURPOSE: A balanced-use resource management plan for Book Cliffs Resource Area, Utah is proposed. The Book Cliffs Resource Area, comprising 1.4 million acres in northeastern Utah, is roughly triangular in shape, bound by the Utah-Colorado state line to the east, the Book Cliffs Divide to the south, and the Green River to the north and west. The preferred plan constitutes a balance between resource protection and commodity production. Provisions for oil and gas leasing, tar sands, oil shale development and stone mining would include the following: Approximately 1.1 million acres would be available for oil and gas leasing with varying degrees of stipulations, and no lands would be closed to leasing; priority management areas totalling approximately 42,000 acres for underground mining and 6,000 acres for in-situ development would be instituted for development of oil shale resources; tar sand development under varying degrees of stipulation would be available for lease on 217,000 acres and restricted from 12,000 acres within the Naval Oil Shale Reserve; and approximately 8,500 acres would be designated potential sand and gravel excavation sites. Approximately 235 miles of rights-of-way corridors would be designated. Some 23,000 acres of land would be designated as exclusion areas. Forage would be managed for 81,316 animal unit months (AUMs) for livestock, 47,596 AUMs for wildlife, and 2,340 AUMs for wild horses. Approximately 39,600 acres of woodlands would be maintained on a sustained yield basis with an allowable cut of 4,270 cords per year. High-quality recreation sites, overlooks, and scenic corridors would be protected. Open land for off-road vehicles would be designated at 526,000 acres, limited land at 547,000 acres, and 6,400 acres of land would be closed to off-road vehicles. Five camp sites, two scenic overlooks, and two geologic features would be protected. The Highway 40 scenic corridor would be maintained. White River Canyon would be protected, excluding the approved dam and two utility corridors. Boulevard Ridge Watershed Study Area would be maintained so long as it serves a scientific purpose. Watershed treatment measures would be implemented on areas up to a total of 78,900 acres. Approximately 16,570 acres of land could be made available for disposal through exchange or sale. Around 5,800 acres of land could be acquired for wildlife habitat and recreation management if opportunities become available. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 80,000 to 160,000 barrels per day (bpd) could be produced on 2 to 4 future oil shale tracts. Tar sand development could produce 10,000 to 25,000 bpd. Range improvements would result from land treatments, seven water developments, and management through grazing systems. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of mineral resources such as oil and gas, tar sand, and oil shale would cause surface disturbance and a modification of topography. Production sites and facilities for mineral development would require 700 acres. Due to tar sand and oil shale development, insufficient water flows could preclude midsummer and late fall floatboating on the White River. The White River would be depleted by 28,000 to 56,000 acre-feet of water annually. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Mining Law of 1872 (30 U.S.C. 21 et seq.), and Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. et al. v. Rogers C. B. Morton et al. (U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Case No. 1983-73). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 84-0329D, Volume 8, Number 7.

T1  - FIREBIRD STADIUM, MARICOPA AND PINAL COUNTIES, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36392277; 30
AB  - PURPOSE: Leasing of 500 acres of Gila River Indian Community tribal land in the upper Sonoran Desert of Arizona is proposed to provide a site for construction of an 80,000-seat sports stadium. The land would be leased by Arizona Pro Football, which seeks to attract an expansion franchise of the National Football League to the state. In consultation with appropriate officials, a circular study area was identified, with a radius of two miles and centered at the east one-quarter corner of Section 7, Township 2 South, Range 4 South of the Gila and Salt River Base and the city of Meridian, Arizona. The land parcel is located adjacent to Firebird Lake, north of Queen Creek Road, and west of Maricopa Road. The 80,000-seat stadium would be supported by ancillary facilities such as walkways and parking areas. Eventually, the site would be the locale for an entire sports and recreation complex. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Attracting the football franchise would boost the currently depressed economy of the area, in which 60 percent of the residents are considered poor and the current average household income is estimated at $7,900. The stadium would serve to increase the economic viability of the community, both as a source of income and as an employment base. In addition to direct employment provided by stadium activities, the project would provide indirect employment through commercial development around the stadium. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Clearing and construction activities would significantly alter the desert site. Compaction and erosion of soils in the area would occur, particularly in areas where movement of heavy equipment would be necessary. Approximately 400 acres of vegetative cover providing habitat for wildlife would be permanently displaced.

T1  - JACKSON LAKE SAFETY OF DAMS PROJECT, WYOMING AND IDAHO.
AN  - 36394044; 51
AB  - PURPOSE: Modification is proposed of Jackson Lake Dam, located on the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. Under the preferred alternative, modification would consist of densifying part of the northern embankment and the foundation material, reconstructing the southern and northern embankments, adding five feet to the height of the embankments, and enlarging the northern embankment to a size that would increase the width of the base of the dam 100 feet on the downstream side. During the four-year construction period, the water level of the reservoir would be restricted to an elevation of 6,745 feet. After the work was completed, the reservoir would be restored to its full capacity of 847,000 acre-feet and normal operating level at an elevation of 6,769 feet. Densification would be accomplished by compaction pile treatment, in this instance using approximately 15,000 piles. Teton Park Road would be moved and reconstructed. To maintain through traffic during construction, a half-mile temporary bypass and bridge would be built. Estimated cost of the project is $82 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Design and construction methods used to build the dam in the early 1900s are inadequate for the seismically active Teton Mountains area. The proposed project would provide permanent safe operation of the dam and controlled storage of water used for irrigation in the project area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The enlarged dam would be a greater visual intrusion than the existing dam. The 4,500 acres of vegetation that would have become established around the lake with the restricted water level would be destroyed when the level was restored to 6,769 feet. The restricted water level would place fish populations under stress, and construction and borrow activities would disrupt wildlife habitat. Recreation activities would be eliminated in the construction area and disturbed in adjacent areas by truck traffic and construction noise. Archaeological sites would be partially exposed by the lower reservoir level. Incoming workers and their families would place housing and community resources under stress. LEGAL MANDATES: Reclamation Safety of Dams Act of 1978 (P.L. 95-578). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft environmental impact statement, see 84-0366D, Volume 8, Number 7.

T1  - MOBIL-PACIFIC OIL SHALE DEVELOPMENT, GARFIELD AND MESA COUNTIES, COLORADO.
AN  - 16317498; 6
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of two oil shale projects in west-central Colorado is proposed by Mobil Oil Corporation (the Parachute Shale Oil Project) and a joint venture group consisting of Sohio Shale Oil Company, Superior Oil Company, and Cliffs Oil Shale Corporation (the Pacific Shale Project). The 100,000-barrel-per-calendar-day Mobil project would be on a site north of the town of Parachute, while the 100,000-barrel-per-stream-day joint-venture project would be on a site 10 miles northwest of the town of DeBeque. Each project would involve underground mining, on-site surface retorting and upgrading, surface disposal of retorted shale on-site, and transfer of shale to a regional multiproject product pipeline system. Water for the Mobil project would be pumped to a storage reservoir on Main Elk Creek, a tributary to the Colorado River. Water for the joint venture project would be pumped directly from the Colorado River into a storage reservoir. Both projects would incorporate reclamation components. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Production of 1,332 barrels of shale oil from the projects would help supply the fuel needs of the nation, which cannot now fulfill those needs through domestic production. In addition, the project would increase employment rolls in the region, improve Colorado's position vis-a-vis other energy-producing states, and generally boost the state economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Each project would result in minor degradation of air quality due to the release of particulates during the construction phase and the release of particulates, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide during the operational phase; alteration of topography on the sites; loss of potentially valuable paleontological resources; loss of soil productivity; drying of surface springs and seeps; losses of terrestrial and aquatic vegetation and habitat; degradation of water quality in the area due to erosion and possibly to accidental release of contaminants into groundwater; and consumption of Colorado River water. Development of the reservoir for the Mobil project would result in inundation of 2.2 miles of Main Elk Creek, which currently provides high-quality stream habitat. Populations of wildlife species would be reduced, and the joint-venture project would displace 687 acres of critical elk and mule deer winter range and calving areas, 100 acres of farmland, and 900 acres of rangeland. Populations of Dragon milkvetch and Barneby's columbine, candidates for the endangered species list, would be diminished. Downstream water rights could be lost, and project facilities and activities would degrade the high visual qualities of the areas. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 84-0162D, Volume 8, Number 4.

T1  - UNESCO Science Programs: Impacts of U.S. Withdrawal and Suggestions for Alternative Interim Arrangements. A Preliminary Assessment.
AN  - 63363797; ED251312
AB  - This study was conducted to provide the U.S. Department of State with an assessment of the potential impacts on science of a United States withdrawal from UNESCO and to suggest possible alternative arrangements to maintain essential U.S. scientific contacts with UNESCO-sponsored programs in case the United States were no longer a member of UNESCO on January 1, 1985. Following an introduction (chapter 1), the strategic considerations that provide the basis for the study (including significant caveats and limitations that pertain to the findings) are discussed in chapter 2. A summary of preliminary findings is presented in chapter 3. A program assessment (including potential impacts of a U.S. withdrawal), suggested alternatives, a summary of preliminary findings, and budgetary information is provided in chapter 4 for these three UNESCO Major Programs and subprograms: (1) Sciences and Their Application to Development (Natural Sciences, Technology and Engineering, Key Areas, Social and Human Services, Key Areas); (2) Science, Technology and Society-STS (Relations and STS Policies); and (3) The Human Environment and Terrestrial and Marine Resources (Earth Sciences and Resources, Natural Hazards, Water Resources, Oceans and Resources, Coastal and Island Regions, and Environmental Sciences: Man and the Biosphere). A supplement providing detailed information on program areas within the UNESCO Major Programs is included. (JN)

T1  - American Indians--U.S. Indian Policy, Tribes and Reservations, BIA: Past and Present, Economic Development.
AN  - 63347015; ED249022
AB  - Progress has been made since the 1983 announcement of President Reagan's American Indian policy which reaffirmed the government-to-government relationship of Indian tribes with the United States, recognized the primary role of tribal governments in reservation affairs, and called for special efforts to develop reservation economies. The principal objective of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is to actively encourage Indian and Alaska Natives in the self-determination of their own affairs. Education is the largest line item in the BIA budget; in fiscal year 1984 the BIA funded 206 education facilities (72 day schools, 49 on-reservation boarding schools, 62 tribally-controlled schools, and 15 dormitories) with an estimated average daily attendance of 43,193. Johnson-O'Malley funds provided supplemental programs for approximately 175,000 public school Indian students in 26 states. Total BIA appropriations for higher education were about $26 million, including grants for the operation of 19 tribally-controlled colleges. In April, 1984, there were 291 federally-recognized tribes and 197 federally-recognized Alaska village communities. The 1980 United States population of 1,418,195 for American Indians, Eskimos, and Aleuts reflected a 71% increase since 1971. Much recent Indian economic development can be credited to the policy of self-determination which has contributed to an Indian entrepreneurial explosion. (BRR)

T1  - Interpretation for Disabled Visitors in the National Park System.
AN  - 63287696; ED260532
AB  - Intended to help interpretive staff identify programmatic needs of disabled U.S. national park visitors, the booklet suggests reasonable modifications to assure participation. An introductory section reviews legal and policy guidelines, the emergence of the disability movement in America, and components of integrated programing. Guidelines and resources are then set forth for working with visitors with the following disabilities: mobility impairments, visual impairments, deafness and hearing impairments, mental or learning impairments (mental retardation, learning disability, and emotional disturbance). General characteristics of each disability are examined. A final section on comprehensive planning and implementation emphasizes a systematic approach to access planning. Appended material includes a program accessibility checklist and a list of audiovisual resources. (CL)

AN  - 18976643; 8505577
AB  - This glossary evolved from a joint US/USSR study on the use of Plastics in Hydrotechnical Construction of water resource development projects. The joint study was made possible by the US/USSR Agreement on Cooperation in the Fields of Science and Technology, first signed in 1972. Originally, glossaries were prepared in three parts: 1) Plastic Films and Soil Stabilizers, 2) Plastic Piping Systems for Irrigation and Drainage, and 3) Polymer Concrete. More than 700 terms presented here are associated with the engineering specialty of Plastics in Hydrotechnical Construction.

T1  - Fish passage and protective facilities, Yakima River Basin, Washington: Environmental assessment.
AN  - 15992836; 2571046
AB  - The Bureau of Reclamation and Bonneville Power Administration propose to administer the construction of fish passage and protective facilities at 20 existing irrigation and/or hydroelectric diversions in the Yakima River Basin, Washington, USA, for the improvement of anadromous fish populations. This action would implement the Northwest Power Planning Council's Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program for natural propagation activities to mitigate hydroelectric impacts in the Yakima Basin and to provide offsite enhancement to compensate for fish and wildlife losses caused by hydroelectric project development and operations throughout the Columbia River Basin. The Yakima River basin is located in south-central Washington and drains an area of about 6000 square miles. The basin centers around the city of Yakima and includes most of Yakima, Kittitas, and Benton Counties. The Yakima River heads near the eastern crest of the Cascade Range and flows generally southeastward for over 200 miles to its confluence with the Columbia River near Richland.

AN  - 14530983; 1424658
AB  - A review and synthesis of existing information was used to develop riverine and lacustrine habitat models for rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri ) a freshwater species. The models are scaled to produce indices of habitat suitability between 0 (unsuitable habitat) and 1 (optimally suitable habitat) for freshwater areas of the continental United States. Other habitat suitability models found in the literature are also included. Habitat suitability indices (HSI's) are designed for use with Habitat Evaluation Procedures previously developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

AB  - The project was designed to inform the user of results of the acid-mine-drainage research of the state water-research-institute program. A chief objective was to supply the Division of Water Resources, West Virginia Department of Natural Resources, and others having a like concern, technology or information that can be used to aid in establishing rational water-quality standards for iron in streams of the state and region. Information-transfer methods included meetings with principal users to determine needs, close personal contacts for individual and small-group discussion, written communications that included reports, a radio program, and a seminar held by principal investigators and others and users and others concerned with use.

AB  - Sediment samples were collected, from the Monongahela River, between Morgantown, West Virginia and Point Marion, Pennsylvania, and from two tributaries, Robinson Run and West Run. Distribution of bottom sediment in the navigation channel of the Monongahela River was found to be uneven. Sediment resuspension caused by towboats traffic was significant. A sequential extraction procedure conducted on river sediment showed that the Fe-Mn oxide phase of the sediment held the largest share of heavy metals. Heavy metals monitored were Al, As, Cd, Cr, Fe, Mn, Se, and Zn. As and Se concentration were not reliable because the equipment and procedure used were inadequate to detect concentration that were present.

T1  - Some hydrologic aspects of proposed coal mining in the North Fork of the Flathead River headwaters area, northwest Montana and southeast British Columbia.
AN  - 14385063; 1236378
AB  - The proposed Cabin Creek coal mine in Canada, just north of the Montana-British Columbia border, has caused considerable concern in Montana because of its potential impact on the North Fork of the Flathead River. The objective of the project was to assess the impact to mining activity at the Cabin Creek site on water quality in the Flathead River. The results of the project indicate that acid mine drainage from the Cabin Creek mine should not be a problem. Analysis of the coal samples indicated that the acid-neutralizing potential exceeded the acid producing potential. Mineralization of waters entering the North Fork could result in some degradation of water quality, as could sediment from soil disturbances. The extent of degradation will depend on mining practices and on the location of retention facilities for water and other residual materials extracted from the mine.

T1  - Water quality of the Colorado River system: historical trends in concentration, load, and mass fraction of inorganic solutes,.
AN  - 14075635; 890351
AB  - Systematic changes in salt loading may be responsible for recent decreases in the salinity in the lower Colorado River Basin. In this study, shifts were identified using trend analyses and by comparison of mean values before and after major reservoir development. Representative monthly solute concentration and streamflow values were computed for 15 major gage stations. For the 12 stations with sufficient data prior to major flow regulation, trends were identified using regression models. Significant decreases were found for magnesium, sodium, and sulfate at nine stations, accounting for an overall reduction of 2 mg/L per year for the Lake Mead inflow during the months from December to March. After construction of the Colorado River Storage Project reservoirs, the seasonal variability in salinity was reduced at all downstream stations.

T1  - Morrow Point Dam and Powerplant, Technical Record of Design and Construction
AN  - 18976649; 8504225
AB  - A record of design and construction of the Morrow Point Dam and Powerplant is presented. The Colorado River Storage Project provides for the comprehensive development of the Upper Colorado River Basin. Agriculture, particularly livestock raising, and mining are the principal industries of the upper drainage basin. The Morrow Point Dam and Powerplant are located on the Gunnison River in Montrose County, near Cimarron, Colorado. Morrow Point Dam was the first double-curvature thin-arch, concrete dam constructed by the Bureau. Four orifice-type, free-fall spillways are located at the top center of the dam, each controlled by a 15- by 16.83-foot, fixed-wheel gate operated by a motor drawn, wire rope drum hoist located on the crest of the dam. Located on the centerline of the dam at elevation 6810, the outlet works consists of one 4- by 4-foot, stainless steel clad, steel-lined conduit extending through the dam and discharge into the spillway basin. Two 13.5 foot-diameter steel penstocks, installed in 18-foot diameter tunnels, are located in the left abutment rock mass to convey water to the two 83,000-horsepower hydraulic turbines in the powerplant. The underground Morrow Point Powerplant is located in the left abutment rock mass downstream from the dam and houses two 60,000-kilowatt generating units. Morrow Point Reservoir has a capacity of 117 ,165 acre-feet.

T1  - Use of Cathodic Protection of Buried and Submerged Metals in Corrosion Prevention in Electric Power Installations
AN  - 18985518; 8505598
AB  - The protection of metallic structures against corrosion damage is considered beneficial from an operating standpoint as well as from the financial aspect for replacement of structural components and labor. The principles of galvanic and stray current corrosion are described. Water or soil water often provides the electrolyte required to complete the cell circuit between metallic anodes and cathodes. Protective coating and cathodic protection complement each other and afford the best protection against corrosion. Cathodic production uses an impressed or galvanic current to reduce or prevent corrosion of a metal in an electrolyte by making the metal to be protected the cathode of a corrosion cell. Sacrificial anodes, metallically connected to a corroding structure and suitably immersed in the electrolyte (water or moist soil), create a simple galvanic cell in which the structure is the cathode or protected surface. In this system detrimental corrosion is replaced by localized and controlled corrosion of an expendable and replaceable anode. Proper designing, spacing and installation of a sacrificial anode system are discussed. Impressed current (rectifier) systems are similar to sacrificial anode systems but rely on an artificial or introduced source of current. Insulated joints utilize isolation and sectionalization of metals to prevent a galvanic cell from being formed. Scenarios of several typical field corrosion problems and possible solutions are listed. Design data questionnaires for corrosivity determination of soils, waters or cathodic protection design are given.

T1  - Microsystems sediment-water simulation: A practical technique for predicting reservoir water quality.
AN  - 13892550; 742137
AB  - Water quality at the bottom of a lake or reservoir may be conveniently simulated in a controlled laboratory environment using the technique of microsystem sediment-water-simulation. The technique provides predictive data on planned or existing reservoirs and lakes by duplicating conditions expected at the sediment-water interface including anaerobic (chemically reducing) conditions which may occur in the hypolimnion during summer and winter stratification. Using many small sediment-water "microsystems" allows for replication and the estimation of experimental error, as well as application of a variety of analytical chemical techniques for characterizing the simulation water.

AB  - In response to the need for an effective and environmentally acceptable herbicide to control Eurasian watermifoil. This document reports the tolerance and label amendment efforts done. Experimental small-plot applications of 2,4-D dimethyamine (DMA) and butoxyethanol ester (BEE) at rates of 20 and 40 Ib/acre (22.5 and 45 kg/ha) were made at Banks Lake, Washington and Fort Cobb Reservoir, Oklahoma with subsequent water, hydrosoil, invertebrate organism, and fish flesh sample collection and analysis for residues, through 56-days posttreatment. The temporary potable water tolerance of 0.1 mg/L (0.1 p/m) was exceeded in three 1-day posttreatment samples (of 1680 water samples analyzed) or 0.18% of the total samples.

T1  - Water quality of Lakes Faith, Hope, Charity, and Lucien, 1971-79, in an area of residential development and highway construction at Maitland, Florida.
AN  - 13814570; 677203
AB  - As part of an ongoing study of lakes in central Florida, lakes Faith, Hope, and Charity were sampled from April 1971 to June 1979 to monitor water quality before, during, and after construction of Maitland Boulevard and the Interstate Highway 4 interchange. Lake Lucien was added to the study in April 1975. Chemical quality of the lakes varies little in comparison with surface runoff, bulk precipitation, and the surficial aquifer. Water quality in the lakes changed during the study, generally for the better. However, an infestation of elodea (Hydrilla verticillata ) developed in Lake Hope near the end of the study and has interfered with recreational use of the lake.

AN  - 63411612; ED235992
AB  - The third annual report (1981-82) of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Advisory Committee for Exceptional Children contains summaries of Committee meetings, results of a survey of BIA agency and area special education coordinators regarding Committee activities, recommendations, and five appendices. Results of the survey of coordinators indicate a need for increased availability of information on Committee activities and for more contact between Committee members and BIA and school personnel, and list 24 helpful activities the Committee could undertake. Committee recommendations concern the need for Indian input into the BIA personnel development plan, public notification of Committee meetings, and advance copies of BIA proposed special education policies/procedures; the lack of finalized Department of Interior special education regulations and of a Division of Exceptional Education response to Committee recommendations on the State Plan; the impact of the federal hiring freeze on special education; the reorganization of the Office of Indian Education Programs (OIEP); regional education service centers; Committee funding; tribal proposals to contract for operation of portions of the BIA special education program; handicapped children in residential facilities; and Navajo area representation. Appendices include the Committee's charter, tabulation of handicapped children receiving special education and related services and allocation of funds for 1981-82, a directory of OEIP personnel, and the form for Nominating Committee members.

T1  - Tribally Controlled Community College Assistance Act of 1978. Public Law 95-471. Fiscal Year 1981 Report to the Congress of the United States of America.
AN  - 63487603; ED226879
AB  - During the second complete year of operation under the Tribally Controlled Community Assistance Act, four additional Tribal Colleges (for a total of 16) received grant assistance. There was also a corresponding growth in full-time equivalent student enrollment, accreditation status, and number of graduates from the participating institutions. During fiscal year 1981, the 16 Tribal Colleges served 2,557 full-time equivalent Indian students for an annual growth rate of 16%. Tribal Colleges are helping their Tribal governments in problem solving or in establishing needed services. Many Indian students, encouraged by success at Tribal Colleges, have elected to transfer to four-year colleges to obtain undergraduates degrees. The continuation of stable funding levels, the support of Federal and Tribal governments, and an improvement in physical facilities are major needs of Tribal Colleges. Part III, "Recommendations," consists primarily of reasons, by section, why the Department of the Interior and Bureau of Indian Affairs oppose enactment of both H.R.6485 and S.2623 to amend and extend the Tribally Controlled Community College Act of 1979.

T1  - Final Environmental Impact Statement of the White River Dam Project
AN  - 18959172; 8300297
AB  - The environmental consequences of five alternatives designed to supply water for energy development, including oil shale, in Uintah County, Utah, were assessed. The alternatives include; construction of the White River Dam, reservoir, and hydroelectric plant; No Action; pumping from the White River and augmenting from Hell 's Hole Canyon Dam; pumping from Green River; pumping from White River and supplementing with water pumped from the Green River. The White River Dam would create a 11.7 mile long reservoir with 1980 surface acres. Also proposed are a 15 MW hydroelectric power plant, power transmission system , recreational facilities, and access roads. Three species of rare endemic fish (Colorado squawfish, humpback chub, and bonytail chub) have been observed in portions of the White River in Utah and are listed as endangered. However, with implementation of the operation procedures and conservation measures recommended in the Fish and Wildlife Biological Opinion , the White River Dam Project would not likely jeopardize the continued existence of the endangered fishes. A depletion of 75 ,000 acre-feet of water from the White River would result in an increase in salinity of Imperial Dam on the Colorado River of 4.1 mg/1. A rough water supply cost comparison indicates that the White River Dam and Reservoir would be the least expensive alternative, and this alternative would be the only producer of energy. There are still unresolved issues regarding future water allocations in the White River. (Moore-SRC)

T1  - Final environmental impact statement: Proposed outer continental shelf oil and gas lease sale, Norton Sound.
AN  - 14410862; 1318006
AB  - The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) analyzes a proposed oil and gas lease sale in Norton Sound, alternatives to the proposal, major issue determined through the scoping process, and potential mitigating measures. The environmental analysis focuses on oil and gas leasing involving a hypothentical transportation scenario that has oil and gas being transported by icebraking oil and LNG tankers. The probable effects are based on the assumption that a mean resource level of 480 million barrels of oil and 2.01 trillion cubic feet of gas would be discovered and produced in the proposed lease-sale area. Over the 20-year production life of the oil field, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) estimates the possibility of up to three oil spills of 1,000 barrels or greater. Also Pub. as Rep. Mineral Manage. Serv. Anchor-age, AK. Alaska Outer Continental Shelf Office Rep. no. MMS/AK/EIS-82001.

T1  - Delineation and hydrologic effects of a gasoline leak at Stovepipe Wells Hotel, Death Valley National Monument, California.
AN  - 13628606; 516606
AB  - Ground water is the only local source of water available to the Stovepipe Wells Hotel facilities of the Death Valley National Monument, California. A leak in a service station storage tank caused the formation of a gasoline layer overlying the water table, creating the potential for contamination of the water supply. The maximum horizontal extent of the gasoline layer was mathematically estimated to be 1,300 feet downgradient from the leaky gasoline tank. Exploratory drilling detected the gasoline layer between 900 and 1,400 feet downgradient and between 50 and 150 feet upgradient from the source. Traces of the soluble components of gasoline were also found in the aquifer 150 feet upgradient, and 250 feet distant from the source perpendicular to the direction of ground-water movement.

AB  - This publication summarizes findings of a workshop held September 14-18, 1981, under a Federal Interagency Energy/Environment Agreement between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The U.S. EPAE Environmental Research Laboratory, Gulf Breeze, Florida, was host for the sessions held on Pensacola Beach, FL. Discussions focused on information pertaining to fate and effects, identification of general relationships between drilling mud fluids and the marine environment, and identification of site-specific variables likely to determine impacts of drilling muds and cuttings in various marine sites. The workshop was structured around the construction of a model simulating fate and effects of discharges from a single rig into open waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

T1  - Base flow of streams on Long Island, New York.
AN  - 13579144; 472478
AB  - On Long Island, base flow under nonurbanized conditions constitutes 90 to 95 percent of total stream discharge. Base-flow data from 19 continuously gaged streams are presented as monthly mean and annual mean discharge in tables for water years 1960-75, which includes the 1962-66 drought. The data were derived by hydrograph-separation procedures that isolate mean daily base flow from mean daily discharge. A close empirical relationship between annual mean base flow and stream discharge at the 55-percent duration point facilitates estimation of average base flow and can be used in place of the more time-consuming hydrograph-separation technique. These data are needed in calibration of computer models that will be used to predict the effects of hydrologic stresses, such as sewering, on the Long lsland ground-water system.

T1  - Techniques for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, Texas.
AN  - 13562306; 456552
AB  - Equations for predicting the magnitude and frequency of floods in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area were developed from recorded data of streams with drainage areas ranging in size from 1.25 to 66.4 square miles. The U.S. Geological Survey urban rainfall-runoff model was used to generate long-term flood-discharge records for gaged systems in the area. Simulated and recorded annual-peak data were subjected independently to log Pearson Type III frequency analyses. Analysis of the results shows that a land-use change from rural to fully urbanized was accompanied by a 180-percent increase in discharge of a flood with a 5-year recurrence interval and about 100-percent increase in discharge of a flood with a 100-year recurrence interval.

T1  - Panoche Creek Flood Protection Works
AN  - 19230249; 8204068
AB  - Highly productive agricultural lands northwest of the city of Mendota, California, and to a lesser extent the city itself, are subject to damaging floods along Panoche Creek. The Panoche Creek flood problem is intensified by sediment deposition. Soils eroded during heavy rains are washed into gullies and stream channels and carried downstream by floodflows, where they are deposited on inundated lands, in flood-relief drains, and on areas where floodwaters pond. Three basic flood protection alternatives were evaluated: two upstream detention dams and reservoirs; a single downstream detention dam and reservoir with provision for a small downstream floodway; and a diversion dam with a large floodway and a sediment retention basin. The alternative providing for two detention dams and reservoirs was not persued after economic analysis showed that its cost would be prohibitive. All the alternatives would provide protection from small, frequent floods, and reduce damage from larger, less frequent floods. However, lands inundated during larger floods could include agricultural areas that are not now subject to flooding. All the alternatives, particularly the diversion dam facilities, would have only limited capacity for the large volumes of sediment generated by storm runoff. Operation and maintenance costs associated with sediment deposition would be high. The principle environmental concerns are associated with endangered species and development within wetland areas. The results of economic analysis show that none of the alternatives evaluated are economically justified. (Moore-SRC)

T1  - Saline Water Use and Disposal Opportunities; Colorado River Water Quality Improvement Program
AN  - 19241860; 8200717
AB  - Saline concentrations in the Colorado River are increasing and will continue to increase as the Basin States develop their lands and available water resources. Without a program of salinity control, continued development will result in increased damages to agricultural, municipal, and industrial users. An assessment was made of the potential technical and economic feasibility of collecting saline water in the Colorado River Basin, transporting it for practical use in energy production, and exporting and disposing of wastewater in a cost-effective manner. Sixteen saline water sources were evaluated in various collection configurations for local use or export. The total water volume considered as potential sources for use or disposal is 610,000 acre-feet. Efforts were directed to highlighting opportunities of using saline water in powerplant cooling and industrial processing as well as coal slurry pipelines. The most promising beneficial use cases appear to be: local use of saline water for powerplant cooling; and a coal slurry pipeline carrying 50 or 100 million tons of coal per year to southern California using saline water as the transport medium. Other potential uses include salt gradient solar ponds for desalting and power generation. Wastewater and blowdown collection and disposal service were also examined for energy development sites located near saline water pipeline collection systems. If a long-distance pipeline is developed for other purposes, economies of scale may make wastewater collection and disposal a viable alternative. (Moore-SRC)
