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.

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
