TY - RPRT T1 - RIVER MANAGEMENT ALTERNATIVES FOR THE RIO GRANDE CANALIZATION PROJECT FROM BELOW PERCHA DAM IN SIERRA COUNTY, NEW MEXICO TO AMERICAN DAM IN EL PASO, TEXAS. AN - 36435094; 10857 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a long-term river management plan for the Rio Grande Canalization Project (RGCP) in New Mexico and Texas is proposed. The RCGP consists of a narrow river corridor extending 105.4 miles along the Rio Grande from below Percha Dam in Sierra County, New Mexico to the American Dam in El Paso, Texas. The project, which is operated and maintained by the U.S. Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC), was developed to facilitate water deliveries to the Rincon and Mesilla valleys in New Mexico, El Paso Valley in Texas, and Juarez Valley in Mexico, and to provide flood control. A levee system for flood control extends 57 and 74 miles over the right and left streambanks, respectively. The USIBWC currently implements operation and maintenance procedures to enhance ecosystem functions within the RGCP. However, the river and floodway will remain highly altered from events pre-dating RGCP construction. Thus, the USIBWC recognized the need to accomplish flood control, water delivery, and operation and maintenance activities in a manner that enhances or restores the riparian ecosystem. River management alternatives under consideration address practices such as streambank stabilization, erosion reduction, and flood control as well as environmental measures intended to support restoration of native riparian vegetation and diversification of aquatic habitats along the RGCP. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in detail in the draft EIS. This abbreviated final EIS briefly summarizes the alternatives and their impacts and provides changes to the draft EIS. The preferred alternative, known as the Integrated USIBWC Management Alternative, would include measures from flood control improvement and erosion protection as well as environmental measures within the floodway. A key feature of the plan would consist of the development of a riparian corridor for bank stabilization and wildlife habitat by planting and streambank reconfiguration at selected locations. Streambank reconfiguration would allow overbank flows within the floodway to provide conditions suitable for the establishment of native riparian species, particularly cottonwoods. Under this alternative, currently mowed floodway vegetation would be managed to promote native grass development in combination with salt cedar control treatments. Grazing leases would be modified for erosion control purposes. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would allow the USIBWC to reassess floodway management within the context of current functions; provide for the gradual development of environmental improvements within the area under the USIBWC's jurisdiction, and institute agreements with other agencies and water users and environmental organizations. Development of riparian vegetation on streambanks would improve water delivery and water quality by stabilizing the banks. Alteration of grazing leases would improve the quality of riparian vegetation due to reduced grazing and trampling. Wildlife habitat quality would increase by 51 percent due to modified grazing on 3,552 acres of uplands and riparian areas and the development of 350 acres of native bosque and 1,641 acres of native grassland. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Water consumption would increase by 2,203 acre-feet per year at the completion of the 20-year implementation period. There would also be a small reduction in flood containment capacity due to the increase in riparian vegetation in the corridor. Short-term increases in debris and sediment in the river would be expected prior to the establishment of vegetative cover. Approximately 157 acre-feet of soil would be displaced as a result of bank shavedowns. Up to 50 acres of farmland would be needed for borrow material, and up to 734 acres of cropland could be retired due to purchase of water rights and the resultant loss of irrigation water. Annual direct and indirect crop value losses would amount to $900,000 and $1.6 million, respectively. Archaeological sites potentially situated at two locations could be affected.

AN - 36434365; 11103 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a permit to Yates Petroleum Company to allow the company access to oil and gas lease WYW141191 to drill for and produce oil from one drill site located within the Duck Creek area in the Douglas Ranger District of the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests and the Thunderbasin Grassland, Campbell County, Wyoming is proposed. The well would be located within the 50,000-acer Spring Creek Geographic Area of the Thunder Basin National Grassland. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to the consistency of the proposal with the Grassland Plan, cultural resource protection, cumulative impacts, energy development, the level of analysis, impacts on vegetation , the enforcement of lease stipulations, road improvement and construction in an inventoried road-less area (IRA), wilderness designation and protection, and impacts to wildlife, threatened and endangered species, and species having protected status. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 3), the Yates would be allowed access to the well site, which would differ from that proposed by Yates, via a road aligned and designed to minimize impacts on an active raptor next. Once the access road was constructed, Yates would grade and fill a well pad, drill one well, and, if it should prove to be economically viable, put the well into production. If the well proceeded, the company would install a pump-jack, tank batteries, and other facilities required for production. Yates would transport oil over the access road approximately once per week. Well development and an earthen sump pit for collection of drill fluids and disposal of solids would require an exception to a controlled surface stipulation for areas with special values, attached to the lease at the time of the sale. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The road would provide Yates with access to a site it has leased for development of oil resources within the grassland, thereby meeting the statutory requirements and providing for an important source of oil for the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The access road would be highly visible from the western edge of the IRA boundary and the well would be partially visible, reducing the wilderness value of the IRA.

Preparation date: 2004 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WILLIAMSON RIVER DELTA RESTORATION, KLAMATH COUNTY, OREGON. [Part 1 of 1] T2 - WILLIAMSON RIVER DELTA RESTORATION, KLAMATH COUNTY, OREGON. AN - 36365220; 11181-040456_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an ecosystem restoration program for the Williamson River Delta of Klamath County in south-central Oregon is proposed. The project area is located within the 10.5-million-acre Klamath River basin straddling the Oregon and California borders. The upper portion of the basin is known for a high degree of biological diversity. However, as a result of many road environmental stresses, seven species within the area are not federally listed as threatened or endangered or candidates for listing and over 100 species are classified as sensitive. Restoration of the Williamson River delta was identified by the Upper Klamath Basin Working Group as a critical project to achieve both ecosystem restoration and economic stability in the region. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 1) would involve breaching the levees along the Williamson River and the Upper Klamath and Agency lakes, and filling the associated to drains. Levee breeches would also occur along the Upper Klamath Lake on both Tulana and Goose bays. The preferred alternative would also include dredging of the historic oxbow on the Goose Bay side of the delta to allow constant, year-round flow. Riparian fringe and wetland would be developed along the Williamson River and riprap would be graded and removed from the remaining lakeshore levees. Upland habitat restoration and ongoing weed control activities would be implemented, along with turbidity and erosion control measures. The plan would adopt an adaptive management approach, allowing for ad hoc adjustments as conditions in the delta change. A monitoring program would be incorporated into all phases of the project. The plan would be implemented over six years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Ecosystem restoration activities would re-establish and maintain the natural ecological functions of the delta, increasing habitats essential to federally protected fish species. The project would provide a significant opportunity to improve habitat for two endangered fish species, the Lost River and shortnose suckers, through wetland and riverine restoration at the mouth of the river, the largest tributary of Upper Klamath Lake. Approximately 3,000 acres of additional wetland habitat and 1,000 acres of aquatic would be created. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would require 1.25 million cubic yards of combined cut and fill, all of which would remain on-site. Farmland would be converted to wetland and upland habitat; the associated agricultural leases would not be renewed. Some archaeologically significant sites would be inundated and wave action could disturb other sites.

Potential field (gravity and magnetic) studies are particularly useful to define the location, depth, and extent of buried basement sources and fundamental structural or compositional boundaries. They especially serve in imaging the subsurface in areas of extensive Cenozoic cover or where surface outcrops may be detached from the deeper crust. Identifying buried compositional or structural boundaries has applications, for example, in tectonic and earthquake hazard studies as they may reflect unmapped or buried faults. In many places, such features act as guides or barriers to fluid or magma flow or form favorable environments for mineralization and are therefore important to mineral, groundwater, and geothermal studies. This work serves in assessing the potential for undiscovered mineral deposits and provides important long-term land-use planning information. The primary component of this report is a set of geophysical maps with anomalies that are labeled and keyed to tables containing information on the anomaly and its source. Maps and data tables are provided in a variety of formats (tab delimited text, Microsoft Excel, PDF, and ArcGIS) for readers to review and download. The PDF formatted product allows the user to easily move between features on the maps and their entries in the tables, and vice-versa. Our goal in highlighting these anomalies is to stimulate thought and research about crustal features of the Great Basin. While we do not offer comprehensive interpretation of every gravity and magnetic feature in the Great Basin, we hope this product will serve as a useful spatial catalog of those features.

In order to evaluate these estimation techniques, 40 actively or previously gaged streamflow study stations were chosen to act as ungaged locations. The SWRCB estimated various streamflow statistics at these gages without reference to the streamgage data. The USGS then used the streamgage data to estimate various streamflow statistics for comparison with SWRCB's estimates. This report presents the results of the comparisons.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Sedimentation Survey of Toa Vaca, Puerto Rico, June-July 2002 AN - 20987534; 7293278 AB - The Lago Toa Vaca dam is located in the municipality of Villalba in Southern Puerto Rico, and is owned and operated by the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority. Construction was completed in 1972 as the first phase of a multi-purpose project the contemplated four possible diversions from other basins to mitigate the rapid storage capacity loss of Lago Guayabal, located immediately downstream of the Toa Vaca dam. The latter phases of the intra-basin diversions were cancelled, and currently, the reservoir receives runoff from only 56.8 square kilometers of its drainage area. Lago Toa Vaca reservoir when constructed was to be used for irrigation of croplands in the southern coastal plain. The reservoir had an original storage capacity of 68.94 million cubic meters. Sedimentation has reduced the storage capacity by only 7 percent between 1972 and 2002 to 64.08 million cubic meters. This represents a long-term sedimentation rate of about 162,000 cubic meters per year. Based on the 2002 sedimentation survey, Lago Toa Vaca has a sediment trapping efficiency of about 98 percent and a drainage area-normalized sedimentation rate of about 3,086 cubic meters per square kilometer per year between 1972 and 2002. At the current long-term sedimentation rate the reservoir would lose its storage capacity by the year 2400. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Puyallup Tribe, conducted a study to identify trends in streamflow in the lower Puyallup River Basin and to compare streamflows in the Puyallup River with regulatory minimum instream flows. Daily mean streamflow, monthly mean streamflow for October, and annual mean streamflow records from 1980 through 2001 for two gaging stations on the lower Puyallup River and one each on Clarks Creek and Swan Creek in the lower Puyallup River Basin were analyzed for temporal trends. Daily mean streamflow records were divided into data sets for the wet period (November through June) and the dry period (July through October) for analysis. Annual precipitation records from three National Weather Service stations and ground-water- level records from five wells in the lower Puyallup River Basin were analyzed to determine possible relations with streamflow. Daily mean streamflow, daily minimum streamflow, and unit- streamflow records for the Puyallup River for 1991 and 1992 were evaluated for the instream-flow analysis.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Water-Level Variations and Their Effects on Tree Growth and Mortality and on the Biogeochemical System at the Phytoremediation Demonstration Site in Fort Worth, Texas, 1996-2003 AN - 20856259; 7293292 AB - In 1996, a field-scale phytoremediation demonstration project was initiated and managed by the U.S. Air Force at a site in western Fort Worth, Texas, using a plantation of 1-year-old stems harvested from branches of eastern cottonwoods during the dormant season (whips) and a plantation of 1-year-old eastern cottonwood seedlings (calipers). The primary objective of the demonstration project was to determine the effectiveness of eastern cottonwoods at reducing the mass of dissolved trichloroethene transported within an alluvial aquifer. The U.S. Geological Survey conducted a study, in cooperation with the U.S. Air Force, to determine water- level variations and their effects on tree growth and mortality and on the biogeochemical system at the phytoremediation site. As part of the study, water level and water-quality data were collected throughout the duration of the project. This report presents water-level variations at periodic sampling events; data from August 1996 to January 2003 are presented in this report. Water levels are affected by aquifer properties, precipitation, drawdown attributable to the trees in the study area, and irrigation. This report also evaluates the effects of ground-water depth on tree growth and mortality rates and on the biogeochemical system including subsurface oxidation-reduction processes.

The importance of recharge as a supply of electron acceptors for biodegradation of a contaminant plume in a shallow unconsolidated aquifer is investigated. The report describes in detail recharge processes in a riparian zone; recharge in these zones has not been studied much, as they are generally thought of as discharge areas. The hydrologic system at the landfill is dynamic, with the water table close to the surface and large seasonal variations in water level due to transpiration. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Simulation of Ground-Water Flow in the Potomac-Raritan-Magothy Aquifer System, Pennsauken Township and Vicinity, New Jersey AN - 20721860; 7293323 AB - The Potomac-Raritan-Magothy aquifer system is one of the primary sources of potable water in the Coastal Plain of New Jersey, particularly in heavily developed areas along the Delaware River. In Pennsauken Township, Camden County, local drinking-water supplies from this aquifer system have been contaminated by hexavalent chromium at concentrations that exceed the New Jersey maximum contaminant level. In particular, ground water at the Puchack well field has been adversely affected to the point where, since 1984, water is no longer withdrawn from this well field for public supply. The area that contains the Puchack well field was added to the National Priorities List in 1998 as a Superfund site. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted a reconnaissance study from 1996 to 1998 during which hydrogeologic and water-quality data were collected and a ground-water-flow model was developed to describe the conditions in the aquifer system in the Pennsauken Township area. The current investigation by the USGS, in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), is an extension of the previous study. Results of the current study can be applied to a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study conducted at the Puchack well field Superfund site. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

The results of borehole geophysical logging and flowmeter surveys performed by the USGS were used to (1) determine casing depth, (2) locate subsurface fractures, (3) identify water-bearing fractures, (4) identify zones of potential vertical flow within the borehole, (5) measure direction and rate of vertical borehole flow to monitor and evaluate contaminant movement, and (5) select the most appropriate depths to screen boreholes. This information will be used by the USEPA in conducting an investigation of contaminant movement in the fractured bedrock. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

N1 - Last updated - 2015-03-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Using the Tracer-Dilution Discharge Method to Develop Streamflow Records for Ice-Affected Streams in Colorado AN - 20720798; 7293544 AB - Accurate ice-affected streamflow records are difficult to obtain for several reasons, which makes the management of instream- flow water rights in the wintertime a challenging endeavor. This report documents a method to improve ice-affected streamflow records for two gaging stations in Colorado. In January and February 2002, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Colorado Water Conservation Board, conducted an experiment using a sodium chloride tracer to measure streamflow under ice cover by the tracer-dilution discharge method. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of obtaining accurate ice- affected streamflow records by using a sodium chloride tracer that was injected into the stream. The tracer was injected at two gaging stations once per day for approximately 20 minutes for 25 days. Multiple-parameter water-quality sensors at the two gaging stations monitored background and peak chloride concentrations. These data were used to determine discharge at each site. A comparison of the current-meter streamflow record to the tracer- dilution streamflow record shows different levels of accuracy and precision of the tracer-dilution streamflow record at the two sites. At the lower elevation and warmer site, Brandon Ditch near Whitewater, the tracer-dilution method overestimated flow by an average of 14 percent, but this average is strongly biased by outliers. At the higher elevation and colder site, Keystone Gulch near Dillon, the tracer-dilution method experienced problems with the tracer solution partially freezing in the injection line.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Anthropogenic and Natural Variation in Ridge and Slough Pollen Assemblages AN - 20719904; 7292644 AB - We present pollen evidence documenting the response of sawgrass ridge and slough systems of the Florida Everglades to hydrologic changes during the last 3,500 years. Sediment cores and surface samples were collected in three transects across sawgrass ridges and sloughs in Water Conservation Area 3A to determine the age of the features, long-term variability in plant community composition, stability of sawgrass ridge and slough size, and their response to 20th century changes in hydrology. Statistically significant differences in abundance of Cladium pollen in surface samples collected throughout the system allow differentiation of these communities in the sedimentary pollen record. Analysis of pollen in cores from the three transects indicates that the general distribution of ridges and sloughs has remained distinct through time. There is evidence the vegetation has responded to past global-scale climate events, such as the Medieval Warm Period, as well as the 20th century anthropogenic alterations to the natural hydrology. The ridge community is more responsive and susceptible to perturbations in hydrology than the slough community. JF - Open-file Report.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and cooperators have studied water-quality and biological aspects of the lower Boise River in the past to address water-quality concerns and issues brought forth by the Clean Water Act of 1977. Past and present issues include preservation of beneficial uses of the river for fisheries, recreation, and irrigation; and maintenance of high-quality water for domestic and agricultural uses. Evaluation of the data collected from 1994 to 2002 by the USGS revealed increases in constituent concentrations in the lower Boise in a downstream direction. Median suspended sediment concentrations from Diversion Dam (downstream from Lucky Peak Dam) to Parma increased more than 11 times, nitrogen concentrations increased more than 8 times, phosphorus concentrations increased more than 7 times, and fecal coliform concentrations increased more than 400 times. Chlorophylla concentrations, used as an indicator of nutrient input and the potential for nuisance algal growth, also increased in a downstream direction; median concentrations were highest at the Middleton and Parma sites. There were no discernible temporal trends in nutrients, sediment, or bacteria concentrations over the 8-year study. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Reductive Chlorination of Chlorinated Ethenes Under Oxidation- Reduction Conditions and Potentiometric Surfaces in Two Trichloroethene-Contaminated Zones at the Double Eagle and Fourth Street Superfund Sites in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma AN - 20719464; 7293240 AB - The Double Eagle Refining Superfund site and the Fourth Street Abandoned Refinery Superfund site are in northeast Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, adjacent to one another. The Double Eagle facility became a Superfund site on the basis of contamination from lead and volatile organic compounds; the Fourth Street facility on the basis of volatile organic compounds, pesticides, and acid-base neutral compounds. The study documented in this report was done to investigate whether reductive dechlorination of chlorinated ethenes under oxidation- reduction conditions is occurring in two zones of the Garber-Wellington aquifer (shallow zone 30-60 to 75 feet below land surface, deep zone 75 to 160 feet below land surface) at the sites; and to construct potentiometric surfaces of the two water-yielding zones to determine the directions of groundwater flow at the sites. The presence in some wells of intermediate products of reductive dechlorination, dichloroethene and vinyl chloride, is an indication that reductive dechlorination of trichloroethene is occurring. Dissolved oxygen concentrations (less than 0.5 milligram per liter) indicate that consumption of dissolved oxygen likely had occurred in the oxygen-reducing microbial process associated with reductive dechlorination. Concentrations of nitrate and nitrite nitrogen (generally less than 2.0 and 0.06 milligrams per liter, respectively) indicate that nitrate reduction probably is not a key process in either aquifer zone. Concentrations of ferrous iron greater than 1.00 milligram per liter in the majority of wells sampled indicate that iron reduction is probable. Concentrations of sulfide less than 0.05 milligram per liter in all wells indicate that sulfate reduction probably is not a key process in either zone. The presence of methane in ground water is an indication of strongly reducing conditions that facilitate reductive dechlorination. Methane was detected in all but one well. In the shallow zone in the eastern part of the study area, ground water flowing from the northwest and south coalesces in a potentiometric trough, then moves westward and ultimately northwestward. In the western part of the study area, ground water in the shallow zone flows northwest. In the deep zone in the eastern part of the study area, ground water generally flows northwestward; and in the western part of the study area, ground water in the deep zone generally flows northward.

Water-supply evaluation includes delineation of source-water protection areas, inventories of potential sources of contamination, and assessments of the susceptibility of the drinking-water source to contamination (Maine Department of Human Services, 2000). Because contaminants may be transported to a water-supply reservoir by surface-water runoff, direct precipitation, or ground-water infiltration and discharge, the determination of a water budget is an important component of a source-water assessment.

The relative importance of different transport media to the movement of these compounds in different watersheds is related to locally variable hydrologic and geochemical conditions among areas of regionally similar land use, geology, and soils. Consideration of such local variability is important to land- management efforts or future environmental investigations on the Peninsula. Chemical analyses of samples collected over a multiyear period from two streams on the Delmarva Peninsula were analyzed along with similar available analyses of ground water to document the occurrence of pesticides and nutrients, and illustrate important processes controlling their movement through watersheds to streams.

The distribution of nitrate concentrations in the unconfined aquifer indicates that nitrate concentrations increased considerably between the 1940s and 1990s and were relatively stable between 1997 and 2001. However, evaluation of estimates of mass of nitrate indicated increases in the estimated mass of nitrate in the unconfined aquifer from the 1940s (6,900 tons) to the late 1960s (34,000 tons) to the late 1990s (75,000 tons). Trend analyses indicated no significant trend in annual estimates of the mass of nitrate during 1997-2001, averaging 75,000 tons. Ground-water samples collected from selected wells with large nitrate concentrations skewed the results of nitrate distribution and mass when nearby wells were not sampled. Estimates of nitrate mass varied by 3 to 8 percent when outliers were removed from the analysis. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

Selected major subfractions were characterized by 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared spectrometry, and elemental analyses. 13C-NMR spectra of the subfractions were more indicative of precursor structures than unfractionated SRFA, and gave spectral profiles that indicated SRFA mass was about equally split between tannin precursors and terpenoid precursors. Lignin precursors were minor components. Synthesis of 13C-NMR data with elemental data for subfractions derived from both tannin and terpenoid precursors revealed high ring contents and low numbers of carbon per rings which is indicative of fused ring structures that are extensively substituted with carboxyl and methyl groups. These results ruled out extended chain structures for SRFA. This information is useful for determining sources and properties of fulvic acid in drinking water supplies as tannins are more reactive with chlorine to produce undesirable disinfection by- products than are terpenoids.

Samples were collected at four locations in Lake Maumelle and at three locations in Lake Winona. Samples also were collected at four inflow sites to Lake Maumelle and one inflow site to Lake Winona. Water samples were analyzed for several field parameters and constituents, including specific conductance, pH, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, organic carbon, suspended sediment, chlorophyll a, Secchi depth, and fecal indicator bacteria. Annual and seasonal loads of nutrients, dissolved organic carbon, and suspended sediment were estimated for the main inflows into Lakes Maumelle and Winona, the Maumelle River at Williams Junction, Arkansas (Lake Maumelle), and the Alum Fork Saline River near Reform, Arkansas (Lake Winona). Yields and flow-weighted concentrations were calculated from estimated annual loads and compared with selected sites representing undeveloped basins across the Nation and one site representing a developed basin in Arkansas.

In 1998, mercury problems were discovered in the Walker River basin of California and Nevada when blood drawn from three common loons from Walker Lake was analyzed and found to have severely elevated mercury levels. From 1999 to 2001, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service collected water, sediment, and biological samples to determine mercury sources, distribution, and potential effects on the Walker River Basin ecosystem. Total- mercury concentrations ranged from 0.62 to 57.11 ng/L in streams from the Walker River system and ranged from 1.02 to 26.8 ng/L in lakes and reservoirs. Total-mercury concentrations in streambed sediment ranged from 1 to 13,600 ng/g, and methylmercury concentrations ranged from 0.07 to 32.1 ng/g. The sediment-effects threshold for mercury for freshwater invertebrates is 200 ng/g, which was exceeded at nine stream sites in the Walker River Basin. The highest mercury concentrations were in streams with historic mines and milling operations in the watershed. The highest mercury concentration in sediment, 13,600 ng/g, was found in Bodie Creek near Bodie, Calif., a site of extensive gold mining and milling activities during the 19th century.

The CAS program was formed to examine the susceptibility to contamination of aquifers that are tapped by public supply wells to serve the citizens of California. The objectives of the program are twofold: (1) to evaluate the quality of ground water used for public supply using volatile organic compound (VOC) concentrations in ground- water samples and (2) to determine if the occurrence and distribution of low level VOCs in ground water and characteristics, such as land use, can be used to predict aquifer susceptibility to contamination from anthropogenic activities occurring at, or near, land surface. An evaluation was made of the relation between VOC occurrence and the explanatory variables: depth to the top of the uppermost well perforation, land use, relative ground-water age, high nitrate concentrations, density of leaking underground fuel tanks (LUFT), and source of recharge water.

Elevated concentrations of arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, and zinc occurred throughout much of the accumulated sediments. Concentrations varied greatly within the sediment core profiles, often covering a range of 5 to 10 fold. Trace-element concentrations typically were largest below the surficial sediments in the lower one-half of each profile, with generally decreasing concentrations from the 1964 horizon to the surface of the core. The trace-element profiles reflect changes in historical discharges of trace elements to the Columbia River by an upstream smelter. All samples analyzed exceeded clean-up guidelines adopted by the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation for cadmium, lead, and zinc and more than 70 percent of the samples exceeded cleanup guidelines for mercury, arsenic, and copper. Although 100 percent of the samples exceeded sediment guidelines for cadmium, lead, and zinc, surficial concentrations of arsenic, copper, and mercury in some cores were less than the sediment- quality guidelines. With the exception of copper, the trace- element profiles of the five cores collected along the pre- reservoir Columbia River channel typically showed trends of decreasing concentrations in sediments deposited after the 1964 time horizon. The decreasing concentrations of trace elements in the upper half of cores from along the pre-reservoir Columbia River showed a pattern of decreasing concentrations similar to reductions in trace-element loading in liquid effluent from an upstream smelter. Except for arsenic, trace-element concentrations typically were smaller at downstream reservoir locations along the pre-reservoir Columbia River. Trace-element concentration in sediments from the Spokane Arm of the reservoir showed distinct differences compared to the similarities observed in cores from along the pre-reservoir Columbia River.

This study focuses on the Mojave River and the Antelope Valley Ground-Water Basins in southern California. Volatile organic compound (VOC) data were evaluated in conjunction with tritium and helium data to determine a potential correlation with aquifer type, depth to top of perforations, and land use to VOC distribution and occurrence in the Mojave River and the Antelope Valley Basins. Detection frequencies for VOCs were compiled and compared to assess the distribution in each area. Explanatory variables were evaluated by comparing detection frequencies for VOCs and tritium and the number of compounds detected. Thirty-three wells were sampled in the Mojave River Basin (9 in the floodplain aquifer, 15 in the regional aquifer, and 9 in the sewered subset of the regional aquifer). Thirty-two wells were sampled in the Antelope Valley Basin. Quality-control samples also were collected to identify, quantify, and document bias and variability in the data.

These stations are part of a network of 34 monitoring stations throughout Connecticut. The two stations each have more than 20 years of water-quality record, and their drainage areas represent a variety of land uses and hydrogeologic conditions. A thorough interpretation of how the detected trends relate to hydrogeology, land use, population distribution, hydrologic modifications, and pollution sources is beyond the scope of this report. Some supporting information is presented to provide perspective on the detected trends and to point toward possibilities for further analysis. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

Agricultural fields receiving commercial fertilizer (conventional sites), swine lagoon effluent (spray sites), and wastewater-treatment plant sludge (sludge site) in the Middle Swamp watershed were investigated. The ionic composition of drainage water in tile drains and ditches varied depending on fertilizer source type. The dominant ions identified in water samples from tile drains and ditches include calcium, magnesium, sodium, chloride, nitrate, and sulfate, with tile drains generally having lower pH, low or no bicarbonates, and higher nitrate and chloride concentrations.

For this report, the upper Red River Basin is defined as the drainage area upstream from the bridge crossing the Red River at Perley, Minnesota. Data collected from May 1997 through September 1999 at 11 water-quality sampling sites in the upper Red River Basin were used to describe the water-quality characteristics and to estimate constituent loads and FWA concentrations for major tributaries of the Red River. The estimated constituent loads then were used to determine which subbasins contributed the largest loads to the river during the study period. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

Sampling for the study was done along transects for the three major rivers that flow into the Salton Sea Basin: the New and Alamo Rivers at the southern end of the basin and the Whitewater River at the northern end. Three stations were established on each river: an outlet station approximately 1 mile upstream of the river discharge, a near-shore station in the river delta, and off-shore station in the Salton Sea. Water and suspended and bed sediments were collected at each station in October 2001, March-April 2002, and September 2002, coinciding with peak pesticide applications in the fall and spring.

The benthic-flux chamber was successfully used to measure the rate of ground water seeping to surface water or surface water seeping to ground water, and to collect water samples for mercury analysis from the sediment-water interface in a lake setting. The benthic-flux chamber was designed to be deployed in relatively calm fresh water lakes, in areas of water less than 2 meters deep. The ground-water seepage rate data were comparable to data from an in-line flow meter in a calibration tank and with data from two 55-gallon drum seepage meters concurrently deployed in two different lakes. The benthic-flux chamber was used to collect possible water samples for analysis of total mercury and methylmercury concentrations. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

Data were collected at eight fixed sites to provide baseline information in areas where no development has taken place, urbanization or logging have occurred, or the effects of recreation are increasing. Collection of water-quality, biology, and physical-habitat data began in October 1998 and ended in September 2001 (water years 1999-2001). The climate for the water years in the study may be categorized as slightly cool-wet (1999), slightly warm-wet (2000), and significantly warm-dry (2001). Total precipitation was near normal during the study period, and air temperatures ranged from modestly cool in water year 1999 to near normal in 2000, and to notably warm in 2001. Snowmelt runoff dominates the hydrology of streams in the Cook Inlet Basin. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Application of Health-Based Screening Levels to Ground-Water Quality Data in a State-Scale Pilot Effort AN - 20388490; 7293754 AB - The objective of this report is two-fold. A major objective is to demonstrate the Health-Based Screening Level (HBSL) approach as a tool for communicating water-quality data in a human-health context by performing a retrospective analysis of ground-water quality data collected as part of the USGS NAWQA Program in New Jersey. One ground-water sample was collected from each public- supply, domestic, and monitoring well in the study unit during 1996-98. Samples were analyzed for a total of 97 pesticides and 85 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and measured concentrations were compared to USEPA and New Jersey Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) values or HBSL values. The use of HBSL values allows for an extended interpretation of the potential human-health implications of water-quality data because HBSL values exist for some compounds that previously had no human-health benchmarks. Another important objective of this report is to provide guidance on the use and interpretation of HBSL values and other human-health benchmarks in the analyses of water-quality data in a human-health context by considering factors such as the magnitude of detected concentrations relative to human-health benchmarks, detection frequency, well type, and use of water.

Forty-five ground-water wells in the Cimarron terrace aquifer were randomly selected. Wells were grouped into two land-use categories, areas of agricultural use, referred to as agricultural areas, and grassland areas not disturbed by agriculture, referred to as grassland areas. Wells were sampled for nutrients, nitrogen isotope ratios in nitrate, pesticides, and wastewater compounds during July and August 2003. Concentrations of nutrients, nitrogen isotope ratios in nitrate, pesticides, and wastewater compounds sampled from wells in agricultural and grassland areas were statistically and graphically analyzed.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Chemistry of Ground Water in the Silver Springs Basin, Florida, with an Emphasis on Nitrate AN - 20387408; 7293760 AB - The Silver Springs group, in central Marion County, Florida, has a combined average discharge rate of 796 cubic feet per second and forms the headwaters of the Silver River. The springs support a diverse ecosystem and are an important cultural and economic resource. Concentrations of nitrite-plus-nitrate (nitrate-N) in water from the Main Spring increased from less than 0.5 milligrams per liter (mg/L) in the 1960s to about 1.0 mg/L in 2003. The Upper Floridan aquifer supplies the ground water to support spring discharge. This aquifer is at or near land surface in much of the ground-water basin; nutrients leached at land surface can easily percolate downward into the aquifer. Sources of nitrogen in ground water in the Silver Springs basin include atmospheric deposition, fertilizers used by agricultural and urban activities, and human and animal wastes. During 2000-2001, 56 wells in the area contributing recharge to Silver Springs were sampled for major ions, nutrients, and some trace constituents. Selected wells also were sampled for a suite of organic constituents commonly found in domestic and industrial wastewater and for the ratio of nitrogen isotopes (15N/14N) to better understand the sources of nitrate. Wells were selected to be representative of both confined and unconfined conditions of the Upper Floridan aquifer, as well as a variety of land-use types. Data from this study were compared to data collected from 25 wells in 1989-90. Concentrations of nitrate- N in ground water during this study ranged from less than the detection limit of 0.02 to 12 mg/L, with a median of 1.2 mg/L. For data from 1989-90, the range was from less than 0.02 to 3.6 mg/L, with a median of 1.04 mg/L. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

The three sampled media were analyzed for insecticides, polychlorinated binphenyls (PCBs), explosives, and trace elements. Additionally, water samples were analyzed for field parameters (water temperature, dissolved oxygen, specific conductance, and pH), total dissolved and suspended solids, fecal coliform bacteria, total organic carbon, nutrients, and herbicides, and bed sediments were analyzed for total organic carbon. Constituent concentrations detected in the three media and measured at the nine stream sites and four lake sites were compared to national and regional criteria, which can be used as a reference for the extent of contamination. One stream site was continuously monitored for three water-quality parameters--specific conductance, turbidity, and temperature. These continuous data were evaluated for relations to changes in streamflow conditions using stage as a surrogate for streamflow. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

The Sulphur Gulch Reservoir, which would be filled by pumping water from the Colorado River, is intended to provide the Colorado River with at least 5,412.5 acre- feet of water during low-flow conditions to meet the East Slopes portion of the 10,825 acre-feet of water required under the December 20, 1999, Final Programmatic Biological Opinion for the Upper Colorado River. The reservoir also may provide additional water in the low-flow period and as much as 10,000 acre-feet of water to supplement peak flows when flows in the Colorado River are between 12,900 and 26,600 cubic feet per second. For this study, an annual stochastic mixing model with a daily time step and 1,500 Monte Carlo trials were used to evaluate the probable effect that reservoir operations may have on water quality in the Colorado River at the Government Highline Canal and the Grand Valley Irrigation Canal.

Samples of sediment were collected at 20 stations in the North Coastal Basin by sediment grab samplers. These concentrations are evaluated through comparison to background concentrations and to contaminant concentrations in other urban rivers. The report also discusses the potential adverse effects posed by contaminants to benthic organisms and humans by comparing the contaminant concentrations with sediment- quality guidelines and exposure-based soil standards. The results presented in this report represent a reconnaissance-level investigation of sediment-quality data of the North Coastal Basin of Massachusetts. It is not a comprehensive study of sediment quality that definitively would measure the quality of North Coastal Basin sediment. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Response Curves for Phosphorus Plume Lengths from Reactive- Solute-Transport Simulations of Onland Disposal of Wastewater in Noncarbonate Sand and Gravel Aquifers AN - 20387212; 7293739 AB - Surface-water resources in Massachusetts often are affected by eutrophication, excessive plant growth, which has resulted in impaired use for a majority of the freshwater ponds and lakes and a substantial number of river-miles in the State. Because supply of phosphorus usually is limiting to plant growth in freshwater systems, control of phosphorus input to surface waters is critical to solving the impairment problem. Wastewater is a substantial source of phosphorus for surface water, and removal of phosphorus before disposal may be necessary. Wastewater disposed onland by infiltration loses phosphorus from the dissolved phase during transport through the subsurface and may be an effective disposal method; quantification of the phosphorus loss can be simulated to determine disposal feasibility. In 2003, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, initiated a project to simulate distance of phosphorus transport in the subsurface for plausible conditions of onland wastewater disposal and subsurface properties. A coupled one-dimensional unsaturated-zone and three-dimensional saturated- zone reactive-solute-transport model (PHAST) was used to simulate lengths of phosphorus plumes. Knowledge of phosphorus plume length could facilitate estimates of setback distances for wastewater- infiltration sites from surface water that would be sufficient to protect the surface water from eutrophication caused by phosphorus transport through the subsurface and ultimate discharge to surface water.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Quality of Water on the Prairie Band Potawatomi Reservation, Northeastern Kansas, May 2001 Through August 2003 AN - 20387179; 7293352 AB - Water-quality samples were collected from 20 surface-water sites and 11 ground-water sites on the Prairie Band Potawatomi Reservation in northeastern Kansas in an effort to describe existing water-quality conditions on the reservation and to compare water-quality conditions to results from previous reports published as part of a multiyear cooperative study with the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation. Water is a valuable resource to the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation as tribal members use the streams draining the reservation, Soldier, Little Soldier, and South Cedar Creeks, to fulfill subsistence hunting and fishing needs and as the tribe develops an economic base on the reservation. Samples were collected once at 20 surface-water monitoring sites during June 2001, and quarterly samples were collected at 5 of the 20 monitoring sites from May 2001 through August 2003. Ground-water-quality samples were collected once from seven wells and twice from four wells during April through May 2003 and in August 2003. Surface-water-quality samples collected from May through August 2001 were analyzed for physical properties, nutrients, pesticides, fecal indicator bacteria, and total suspended solids. In November 2001, an additional analysis for dissolved solids, major ions, trace elements, and suspended- sediment concentration was added for surface-water samples. Ground- water samples were analyzed for physical properties, dissolved solids, major ions, nutrients, trace elements, pesticides, and fecal indicator bacteria. Chemical oxygen demand and volatile organic compounds were analyzed in a sample from one monitoring well located near a construction and demolition landfill on the reservation.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Water Quality in the Halawa, Haiku, and Kaneohe Drainage Basins Before, During, and After H-3 Highway Construction, Oahu, Hawaii, 1983-99 AN - 20387141; 7293347 AB - Selected water-quality data collected before, during, and after construction of the H-3 Highway at 13 water-quality stations were compared to the State of Hawaii Department of Health water- quality standards to determine the effects of highway construction on the water quality of the affected streams. Highway construction had no effect on the high concentrations of total nitrogen and nitrite plus nitrate nitrogen observed except for increased nitrite plus nitrate nitrogen concentrations at one station on Hooleinaiwa Stream. Exceedences of the 10- and 2-percent-of-the- time concentration standards for total phosphorus, total suspended solids, and turbidity, all constituents associated with sediment, occurred more commonly and at more stations during construction than either before or after. These exceedences may be, in part, due to land disturbance caused by highway construction. Highway construction had no effect on the physical water-quality properties of pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and specific conductance except at North Halawa and Kuou Streams, where specific-conductance values increased throughout the study period, most likely due to highway construction. No effects on selected trace metals and organic chemical compounds were observed due to highway construction. No effects due to highway construction were observed in the water quality of Waimaluhia Reservoir. Runoff from areas of urban land use in the Kaneohe drainage basin contributed more to the higher loads of selected water-quality constituents than did runoff from areas affected by highway construction.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Ground-Water Vulnerability to Nitrate Contamination at Multiple Thresholds in the Mid-Atlantic Region Using Spatial Probability Models AN - 20385309; 7293730 AB - The USGS, in cooperation with the USEPAs Regional Vulnerability Assessment (ReVA) Program, is developing a set of statistical tools to support regional-scale integrated ecological risk assessment studies. ReVAs goal is to develop and demonstrate approaches to comprehensive, regional-scale assessments that effectively inform decisionmakers as to the magnitude, extent, distribution, and uncertainty of current and anticipated environmental risks. The USGS is developing and exploring the use of statistical probability models to characterize the relation between groundwater quality and geographic factors in the Mid- Atlantic Region. This report describes a spatial statistical methodology that can be used to assess the risk of nonpoint-source contamination of ground water exceeding a management threshold in areas of the Mid-Atlantic Region where little data exits. Thresholds can be formulated and specified as management values such as 3 mg/L (milligrams per liter) of nitrate as nitrogen for environmental concerns or 10 mg/L of nitrate as nitrogen for regulating drinking water. In addition, the PRESS statistic (predictive ability) and the uncertainty (confidence interval) of the models were developed and applied to all spatial probability maps. Spatial probability maps showing the likelihood of elevated concentrations of nitrate above a management threshold were developed to identify areas that currently are vulnerable to nitrate contamination. These maps help identify areas where ground water has been affected by human activities, and can help regional and local water managers protect water supplies by targeting land- use planning solutions and implementing monitoring programs where ground water may be vulnerable.

The relative volume of ground water discharging to the stream compared to the volume of streamflow determines whether the chloride concentrations in ground water could increase or decrease chloride concentrations in the stream. The effects of these relative volumes are not addressed in this report. Ground-water samples were collected from two test holes located upstream from each BUMP surface-water sampling site from August to December 2003. The ground-water samples were collected by USGS personnel and analyzed by ODEQ laboratory. The surface-water chloride data were collected from December 1998 to October 2002.

This report presents the results of tree-core sampling that was successfully used to determine the presence and extent of chlorinated solvent contamination at two sites, the Front Street site (operable unit OU1) and the former dry cleaning facility, that are part of the overall Riverfront Superfund Site. Traditional soil and ground-water sampling at these two sites later confirmed the results from the tree-core sampling. Results obtained from the tree-core sampling were used to design and focus subsequent soil and ground-water investigations, resulting in substantial savings in time and site assessment costs.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Hydrogeologic Characterization of the Modesto Area, San Joaquin Valley, California AN - 20290753; 7293762 AB - Many previous investigations have been done in the Modesto area; however, a significant amount of new data is available that allows for a more complete hydrogeologic characterization of the aquifer system. The objective of this study is to improve the understanding of the hydrogeologic framework of the aquifer system by using a combination of tools to evaluate existing data. The objective of this report is to present the results of the analysis of existing data within the context of previous investigations. In this report, existing data are used to characterize the hydrogeology of the Modesto area. Previous investigations are summarized, a database of well characteristics and lithology is developed and used to update the regional stratigraphy, a water budget is estimated for water year 2000, and a three-dimensional spatial correlation map of sediment texture is developed. The water budget and the spatial distribution of aquifer texture are used in a regional ground-water flow model developed for ongoing investigations of the USGS (U.S. Geological Survey) National Water- Quality Assessment program (NAWQA) in the region. This study is a cooperative effort between the Modesto Irrigation District (MID) and the USGS. The primary units used in this report are metric; however, both metric and English equivalents are given throughout this report because of the inconsistent units of the source data and on request of the cooperator.

Version 1.1 AN - 20286016; 7293712 AB - Equitable implementation of regulations restricting discharges from agricultural drains into the San Joaquin River requires a greater understanding of the influence of extreme precipitation events on the ground-water flow system. As part of a larger investigation, this study estimated ground-water recharge and ground-water pumpage, two important components of the water budget in the Grasslands drainage area in the central part of the western San Joaquin Valley, California, for the water years 1972 through 2000. These estimates will be used as inputs to a numerical simulation model of the regional ground-water flow system in the continuing investigation. Crop-acreage and surface-water delivery data were compiled for 14 water districts and 6 other areas comprising approximately 97 percent of the 600-square-mile study area. Little ground-water pumpage data exists for the study area. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

The facility was home to the Naval Aviation Technical Training Center from 1943 until 1996. As part of the Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, the primary training mission of the facility was realigned and most of the northern part of the base, referred to as the Northside and consisting primarily of an airfield, was transferred to the city of Millington in January 2000. During environmental investigations at the base, plumes of dissolved chlorinated solvents resulting from past aircraft maintenance and training operations were identified in shallow ground water beneath the airfield area. The airfield area containing the plumes has been designated as Area of Concern (AOC) A. Chlorinated solvents, primarily trichloroethene (TCE), are the principal contaminants in ground water at AOC A, with TCE identified in concentrations as high as 4,400 micrograms per liter. The nature and extent of these plumes at AOC A were addressed during a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Facility Investigation, and selected options for remediation currently are being implemented under a corrective action program.

The area is underlain by glacial till and alluvial sediments and weathered and competent carbonate bedrock. The northwest and southeast valley boundaries are regional-scale thrust faults and ridges underlain by crystalline rocks. The unconsolidated sediments and weathered bedrock form a minor surficial aquifer. The carbonate rocks form a highly transmissive fractured-rock aquifer with well yields commonly as high as 500 gallons per minute. Ground-water recharge and flow in the crystalline-rock aquifer bordering the valley is minor compared to flow in the carbonate-rock aquifer, and little ground water flows into the carbonate-rock aquifer directly from the crystalline-rock aquifer.

More than 40 surface-water samples were collected eight times over a 12-month period. The water properties-specific conductance, pH, water temperature, and dissolved oxygen-and stream discharge were measured at five sites on the main stem of Turkey Creek. Additionally, nitrite as nitrogen, ammonia plus organic nitrogen as nitrogen, total phosphours, and orthophosphate as phosphorus were analyzed. At four of the five sites, surface-water also was collected for the isolation of E. Coli bacteria during three of the eight sampling episodes. A bacterial source tracking method was then used to identify possible sources by comparing the relatedness of DNA fragments from ribosomal genes, referred to as ribopatterns, to E. coli bacteria cultured from cattle, deer, horses, and effluent from septic tanks and city wastewater lagoons in the watershed.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Environmental Factors and Chemical and Microbiological Water- Quality Constituents Related to the Presence of Enteric Viruses in Ground Water from Small Public Water Supplies in Southeastern Michigan AN - 19978046; 7293759 AB - A study of small public ground-water-supply wells that produce water from discontinuous sand and gravel aquifers was done from July 1999 through July 2001 in southeastern Michigan. Samples were collected to determine the occurrence of viral pathogens and microbiological indicators of fecal contamination ('indicators'), determine whether indicators are adequate predictors of the presence of enteric viruses, and determine the factors that affect the presence of enteric viruses. Small systems are those that serve less than 3,300 people. Samples were analyzed for specific enteric viruses by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), for culturable viruses by cell culture, and for the indicators total coliforms, Escherichia coli (E. coli), enterococci, and F-specific and somatic coliphage. Ancillary environmental and water-quality data were collected or compiled. A total of 169 regular samples and 32 replicate pairs were collected from 38 wells. Replicate pairs were samples collected at the same well on the same date. One well was sampled 6 times, 30 wells were sampled five times, 6 wells were sampled twice, and 1 well was sampled once. By use of RT-PCR, enterovirus was found in four wells (10.5 percent) and hepatitis A virus (HAV) in five wells (13.2 percent). In two of these wells, investigators found both enterovirus and HAV, but on different sampling dates. Culturable viruses were found one time in two wells (5.9 percent), and neither of these wells was positive for viruses by use of RT-PCR on any sampling date. If results for all viruses are combined, 9 of the 38 small public-supply wells were positive for enteric viruses (23.7 percent) by either cell culture or RT-PCR.

Before restoration can occur, however, the baseline conditions of the environment prior to significant human alteration must be established and the range of variation within the natural system must be determined. In addition, the response of the system to human alterations during the 20th century should be evaluated. Resource managers can use this information to establish targets and performance measures for restoration and to predict the system's response to changes invoked by restoration. The objectives of the U.S. Geological Survey's Ecosystem History of Biscayne Bay research project are to examine historical changes in the Biscayne Bay ecosystem at selected sites on a decadal-centennial scale and to correlate these changes with natural events and anthropogenic alterations in the South Florida region. Specific emphasis is being placed on historical changes to (1) amount, timing, and sources of freshwater influx and the resulting effects on salinity and water quality; (2) shoreline and sub-aquatic vegetation; and (3) the relationship between sea-level change, onshore vegetation, and salinity.

More than 90 percent of these residents draw ground water from the shallow glacial drift aquifer. Understanding the vertical hydraulic conductivity of the shallow glacial drift aquifer is important both in identifying areas of ground-water recharge and in evaluating susceptibility to contamination. The geologic environment throughout much of the county, however, is poorly understood and heterogeneous, making conventional aquifer mapping techniques difficult. Geostatistical procedures are therefore used to describe the effective vertical hydraulic conductivity of the top 50 feet of the glacial deposits and to predict the probability of finding a potentially protective confining layer at a given location.

Currently, over 3 million people visit RMNP each year; many drive through the park on Trail Ridge Road, camp in designated campgrounds, or hike in front-country areas. However, visitors also report much use of backcountry areas that are not easily accessible by roads or trails. Use of the backcountry is growing at RMNP and is accompanied by changing visitor expectations and preferences for wilderness management. For these reasons it is of great importance for the Park to periodically assess what types of environments and conditions wilderness users seek, to help them facilitate a quality wilderness experience.

The rapid increase indicates that bacteria can move through the soil with the percolating recycled water over intervals of a few days and vertical and horizontal distances of about 3 meters. This conclusion formed the basis for three field-scale experiments using bacterial viruses (bacteriophage) MS2 and PRD1 as surrogates for human enteric viruses and bromide as a conservative tracer to determine the fate and transport of viruses in recycled water during subsurface transport under actual recharge conditions. The research field site consists of a test basin constructed adjacent to a large recharge facility (spreading grounds) located in the Montebello Forebay of Los Angeles County, California. The soil beneath the test basin is predominantly medium to coarse, moderately sorted, grayish brown sand. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

Identification of contaminant-source areas and types could assist Buncombe County SWCD in prioritizing areas in the watershed for restoration and implementation of best-management practices. The objectives of the cooperative investigation between the USGS and Buncombe County SWCD were to (1) measure and record streamflow near the mouth of Newfound Creek to support ongoing water-quality monitoring efforts in the watershed, (2) measure fecal coliform and Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria densities at 10 sites in the Newfound Creek watershed during a period of low flow and during a period of high flow to aid in the identification of source areas, and (3) attempt to distinguish between animal and human sources of fecal contamination by sampling and serotyping coliphage viruses. This report presents the results of the bacterial and coliphage sampling investigations. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

Implementation of modernization strategies for the canal, which supplies most of the water to the lake, would decrease the amount of water spilled to Highline Lake from August through October. A reduction in spill water into Highline Lake could adversely affect the recreational uses of the lake. To address this concern and to characterize the water quality in the Government Highline Canal and Highline Lake, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted a study to evaluate limnological conditions prior to implementation of the modernization strategies. This report characterizes the water quality of inflow from the Government Canal and in Highline Lake prior to implementation of modernization strategies in the Government Canal. Flow entering the lake from the Government Canal was characterized using field properties and available chemical, sediment, and bacteria concentrations. Data collected at Highline Lake were used to characterize the seasonal stratification patterns, water-quality chemistry, bacteria populations, and phytoplankton community structure in the lake. Data used for this report were collected at one inflow site to the lake and four sites in Highline Lake. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

The study area was a 76-kilometer reach of the Chattahoochee River and its tributaries in Metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia. Escherichia coli was isolated from water samples collected during baseflow and stormflow conditions from four mainstem and eight tributary sites; 262 isolates were ribotyped and assessed for their similarity. The vast majority of the E. coli ribotype patterns were unshared, whether the comparisons were between baseflow and stormflow conditions at one location, or between one location and another. The data suggest that either baseflow and stormflow conditions affected sharing of ribotype patterns, or that the sample size was too small to characterize the sharing adequately. Regardless, the results suggest that a large sampling of E. coli isolates is needed during various flow conditions from watersheds with complex land-use patterns for adequate bacterial source tracking.

The model is tested with a simplified island-wide numerical ground-water model. Four scenarios of plausible hydrogeologic conditions in northwestern Ta'u were simulated in the numerical model to study possible ground-water flow paths beneath the landfill. This report also discusses limitations to hydrologic interpretations owing to the limited data available, and identifies additional information that is needed to improve the conceptual model and its utility in ground-water exploration, development and management on Ta'u.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Regional Water Table (2002) and Water-Level Changes in the Mojave River and Morongo Ground-Water Basins, Southwestern Mojave Desert, California AN - 19584538; 7293255 AB - The Mojave River and Morongo ground-water basins are in the southwestern part of the Mojave Desert in southern California. Ground water from these basins supplies a major part of the water requirements for the region. The continuous population growth in this area has resulted in ever-increasing demands on local ground- water resources. The collection and interpretation of ground-water data helps local water districts, military bases, and private citizens gain a better understanding of the ground-water flow systems, and consequently, water availability. During 2002, the U.S. Geological Survey and other agencies made approximately 2,500 water-level measurements in the Mojave River and Morongo ground- water basins. These data document recent conditions and, when compared with previous data, changes in ground-water levels. A water-level contour map was drawn using data from about 600 wells, providing coverage for most of the basins. Twenty-eight hydrographs show long-term (up to 70 years) water-level conditions throughout the basins, and 9 short-term (1997 to 2002) hydrographs show the effects of recharge and discharge along the Mojave River. In addition, a water-level-change map was compiled to compare 2000 and 2002 water levels throughout the basins. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

Santa Monica AN - 19582972; 7293346 AB - Radiocarbon dating of sediment core samples from Santa Monica Basin document Holocene (younger than approximately 11 ka) landslides and fault offsets along the basin margin. The new dates include 17 from six piston cores on the continental slope and 11 from Ocean Drilling Program Site 1015 on the basin floor. The dates, which are based on data from pelagic and benthic foraminifera in addition to several dates from mollusk shells, are used to provide chronostratigraphic control for a previously determined basin-wide seismic stratigraphy. The geologic setting at the core sites and a sediment log for each core are shown. In addition, each sediment log is accompanied by a color core photograph as well as P-wave velocity and gamma-ray density profiles. The primary purpose of the report is to make the radiocarbon dates available for other studies in the Santa Monica Basin. A comparison of sediment accumulation rates between the late Pleistocene and Holocene provides insight to the effects of sea-level change on sediment input to the basin. In addition, the results can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of wire-line piston coring in providing age control for earthquake hazard and sedimentologic studies.

Groundwater samples were collected from 15 wells and 6 springs during November 2001 through January 2003. The samples were analyzed for physical properties and chemical and isotopic composition. Rainfall samples from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) station in DeKalb County, Alabama, were analyzed for isotopic composition. Rainfall data from Jacksonville, Alabama, were correlated to the discharge of Coldwater Spring. Graphical and statistical analyses were used to determine relations between selected physical properties and chemical constituents in the water. The geochemical model NETPATH (Plummer and others, 1994) was used to estimate the mixing and mass-balance reactions of source waters that could result in the observed water quality of springs associated with the Jacksonville Thrust Fault Complex.

The net effect of water-resource development has been to substantially modify the predevelopment annual hydrograph as well as the timing and amount of sediment delivery from the upper Green River and the Yampa River Basins tributaries to the main-stem reaches where endangered native fish populations have been observed. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Colorado Division of Wildlife and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, began a study to identify sediment source reaches in the Green River main stem and the lower Yampa and Little Snake Rivers and to identify sediment-transport relations that would be useful in assessing the potential effects of hydrograph modification by reservoir operation on sedimentation at identified razorback spawning bars in the Green River. The need for additional data collection is evaluated at each sampling site. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

As specified by KSA 82a2001 et. seq., median flows were determined from U.S. Geological Survey streamflow-gaging-station data by using the most-recent 10 years of gaged data (KSA) for each streamflow-gaging station. Median flows also were determined by using gaged data from the entire period of record (all available hydrology, AAH). JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

NTIS Prices: PC A05 N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Sediment Remobilization of Mercury in South San Francisco Bay, California AN - 19582472; 7293541 AB - Field and laboratory studies were conducted in April and November 2003 to provide the first direct measurements of the benthic flux of dissolved (0.2-micrometer filtered) mercury species (total and methylated forms) between the bottom sediment and water column at two sampling locations within the southern component of San Francisco Bay, California (hereafter referred to as South Bay): one within the main channel and the other in the western shoal area. Because of interest in the effects of historic mercury mining within watersheds that drain into South Bay, the solutes of primary interest were dissolved-mercury species and the predominant ligands that often control mercury speciation (dissolved sulfide and dissolved organic carbon). Benthic flux, sometimes referred to as internal recycling, is the transport of dissolved chemical species between the water column and the underlying sediment. Because of the affinity of mercury to adsorb onto particle surfaces and to form insoluble precipitates (particularly with sulfides), the mass transport of mercury in mining-affected watersheds is typically dominated by particles. As these enriched particles accumulate at depositional sites such as estuaries and reservoirs, benthic processes facilitate the repartitioning, transformation, and transport of mercury in dissolved, biologically reactive forms (dissolved methyl-mercury being the most bioavailable for trophic transfer). These are the forms of mercury examined in this study. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

Population growth on the Coconino Plateau has increased the demand for additional development of ground-water resources, and such development could reduce spring discharge and affect the sustainability of riparian areas within the park. In addition, springs are an important source of drinking water for hikers and are culturally and economically important to Native Americans living in the region. Water samples were collected from May 2000 to September 2001 from 20 spring and creek sites that discharge water from the Redwall-Muav Limestone aquifer along the south rim of Grand Canyon. Sample collection sites were described and samples were analyzed for major ions, nutrients, trace elements, radioactivity, and selected isotopes, and potential sources of ground-water flow to the springs. Rock samples representing the major stratigraphic units of Grand Canyon were collected near the Bright Angel Fault and analyzed for mineralogy, strontium-87/strontium-86, and carbon-13/carbon-12.

The Tetracorder expert system utilizes a spectral reference library containing more than 400 laboratory and field spectra of end- member minerals, mineral mixtures, vegetation, manmade materials, atmospheric gases, and additional substances to generate maps of mineralogy, vegetation, snow, and other material distributions. Major iron-bearing, clay, mica, carbonate, sulfate, and other minerals were identified, among which are several minerals associated with acid rock drainage, including pyrite, jarosite, alunite, and goethite. Distributions of minerals such as calcite and chlorite indicate a relationship between acid-neutralizing assemblages and stream geochemistry within the watershed. Images denoting material distributions throughout the watershed have been orthorectified against digital terrain models to produce georeferenced image files suitable for inclusion in Geographic Information System databases. Results of this study are of use to land managers, stakeholders, and researchers interested in understanding a number of characteristics of the Animas River watershed.

After closure of the ice and moraine dam, runoff from mountain streams and glacial melt caused the level in Russell Lake to rise until it eventually breached the dam on August 14, 2002. Daily mean inflows to the lake during the period of closure were estimated on the basis of lake stage data and the hypsometry of Russell Lake. Inflows were regressed against the daily mean streamflows of nearby Ophir Creek and Situk River to generate an equation for simulating Russell Lake inflow. The regression equation was used to produce 11 years of synthetic daily inflows to Russell Lake for the 1992-2002 water years. A flood-frequency analysis was applied to the peak daily mean inflows for these 11 years of record to generate a 100-year peak daily mean inflow of 235,000 cubic feet per second. Regional-regression equations also were applied to the Russell Lake basin, yielding a 100 year inflow of 157,000 cubic feet per second. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

The National Park Service is concerned about the declines in spring discharge. Seismic- refraction and frequency-domain electromagnetic-induction methods were employed in an attempt to better understand the relation between spring discharge and geologic structure. The particular method used for the seismic-refraction surveys was unable to resolve structural features in the monument. Electromagnetic surveys delineated differences in apparent conductivity of the shallow subsurface deposits. The differences are attributable to differences in saturation, lithology, and structure of these deposits. The purpose of this report is to describe the results of the geophysical surveys that were conducted to help define the subsurface geologic structure that controls ground-water movement within the monument and in areas north of the monument. The report provides information regarding the effectiveness of the methods employed. General structural controls within and north of the monument are described in relation to spring discharges.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Method for Simulating Transient Ground-Water Recharge in Deep Water Table Settings in Central Florida by Using a Simple Water- Balance/Transfer-Function Model AN - 19582053; 7293327 AB - A relatively simple method is needed that provides estimates of transient ground-water recharge in deep water-table settings that can be incorporated into other hydrologic models. Deep water- table settings are areas where the water table is below the reach of plant roots and virtually all water that is not lost to surface runoff, evaporation at land surface, or evapotranspiration in the root zone eventually becomes ground-water recharge. Areas in central Florida with a deep water table generally are high recharge areas; consequently, simulation of recharge in these areas is of particular interest to water-resource managers. Yet the complexities of meteorological variations and unsaturated flow processes make it difficult to estimate short-term recharge rates, thereby confounding calibration and predictive use of transient hydrologic models. A simple water-balance/transfer-function (WBTF) model was developed for simulating transient ground-water recharge in deep water-table settings. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

Water-quality samples were collected for temperature and specific-conductance measurements during the spring and summer of 2001 from 150 wells in Arkansas in the Sparta- Memphis aquifer. Dissolved chloride samples were collected and analyzed for 87 of the 150 wells. Waterquality samples were not collected in Louisiana. Maps of areal distribution of potentiometric surface, difference in water-level measurements from 1997 to 2001, and specific conductance generated from these data reveal spatial trends across the study area. The highest water-level altitude measured in Arkansas was 328 feet above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD of 1929) in Grant County; the lowest water-level altitude was 197 feet below NGVD of 1929 in Union County. The highest water-level altitude measured in Louisiana was 235 feet above NGVD of 1929 in Bienville Parish; the lowest waterlevel altitude was 218 feet below NGVD of 1929 in Ouachita Parish. A map for water-level changes from 1997 to 2001 was constructed using water-level measurements from 278 wells.

The equations can be used for non-urban, unregulated stream sites in Connecticut with drainage areas ranging from about 2 to 715 square miles. Flood frequency data and hydrologic characteristics from 70 stream flow gaging stations and the upstream drainage basins were used to develop the equations. The hydrologic characteristics -drainage area, mean basin elevation, and 24-hour rainfall -are used in the equations to estimate the magnitude of floods. Average standard errors of prediction for the equations are 31.8, 32.7, 34.4, 35.9, 37.6 and 45.0 percent for the 2-, 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, and 500- year recurrence intervals, respectively. Simplified equations using only one hydrologic characteristic -drainage area-also were developed. The regression analysis is based on generalized least- squares regression techniques.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Hydrodynamic Simulation and Particle-Tracking Techniques for Identification of Source Areas to Public-Water Intakes on the St. Clair-Detroit River Waterway in the Great Lakes Basin AN - 19581968; 7293261 AB - Source areas to public water intakes on the St. Clair-Detroit River Waterway were identified by use of hydrodynamic simulation and particle-tracking analyses to help protect public supplies from contaminant spills and discharges. This report describes techniques used to identify these areas and illustrates typical results using selected points on St. Clair River and Lake St. Clair. Parameterization of an existing two-dimensional hydrodynamic model (RMA2) of the St. Clair-Detroit River Waterway was enhanced to improve estimation of local flow velocities. Improvements in simulation accuracy were achieved by computing channel roughness coefficients as a function of flow depth, and determining eddy viscosity coefficients on the basis of velocity data. The enhanced parameterization was combined with refinements in the model mesh near 13 public water intakes on the St. Clair- Detroit River Waterway to improve the resolution of flow velocities while maintaining consistency with flow and water-level data. Scenarios representing a range of likely flow and wind conditions were developed for hydrodynamic simulation. Particle- tracking analyses combined advective movements described by hydrodynamic scenarios with random components associated with sub- grid-scale movement and turbulent mixing to identify source areas to public water intakes.

In 1978, an acoustic velocity meter was installed at Freeport to monitor the flow. The acoustic velocity meter was calibrated successfully and has been used continuously since that time. Although the calibration has been extremely stable, an increasing number of maintenance problems prompted a search for alternatives to monitor discharge at this location. Two sideward-looking acoustic Doppler velocity meters were tested in a pilot study from 2002-2004: a short-range system and a long-range system. The pilot study was conducted over a wide range of hydrologic conditions and both sidewardlooking acoustic Doppler velocity meters have performed well at this location and have been calibrated successfully. As of February 2004, the short-range system had a robust calibration and a higher data-recovery rate, therefore, it was selected as the primary replacement of the acoustic velocity meter, with the long- range system providing real-time data redundancy to minimize data loss.

The first study was conducted between 1971 and 1981 (Lamb, 1983). The present (2003) study was conducted between 2001 and 2003 by the USGS in cooperation with the ADH. The data collected from both of these studies has been combined for this report and are hereafter referred to as the Arkansas data set. The Arkansas data set was used to evaluate the USGS national traveltime prediction equation (hereafter referred to as the national traveltime prediction equation) (Jobson, 1996) for use in Arkansas and to develop a traveltime prediction equation specific to Arkansas streams. Verification and calibration error statistics are presented for the national traveltime equation. Calibration coefficients are presented for a traveltime prediction equation using only the Arkansas data set. An example demonstrating the traveltime prediction equation for Arkansas is presented in this report. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

This watershed is an important natural resource of Sitka National Historic Park. At the present time, the watershed faces possible development on large tracts of private land upstream of the park that could affect the water quality of Indian River. Due to this concern, a study was conducted cooperatively with the National Park Service. The approach was to examine the water quality of the Indian River in the upper part of the watershed where no development has occurred and in the lower part of the basin where development has taken place.

The basin was divided into three subbasins to assess the water use availability: the Saugatucket, Point Judith Pond, and the Southwestern Coastal Drainage subbasins. Because there is limited information on the ground-water system in this basin, water use and availability evaluations for these subbasins were derived from delineated surface-water drainage areas. An assessment was completed to estimate water withdrawals, use, and return flow over a 5-year study period from 1995 through 1999 in the basin. During the study period, one major water supplier in the basin withdrew an average of 0.389 million gallons per day from the sand and gravel deposits. Most the potable water is imported (about 2.152 million gallons day) from the adjacent Pawcatuck Basin to the northwest. The estimated water withdrawals from the minor water suppliers, which are all in Charlestown, during the study period were 0.064 million gallons per day. The self-supplied domestic, industrial, commercial, and agricultural withdrawals from basin were 0.574 million gallons per day. Water use in the basin was 2.874 million gallons per day. The average return flow in the basin was 1.190 million gallons per day, which was entirely from self-disposed water users. In this basin, wastewater from service collection areas was exported (about 1.139 million gallons per day) to the Narragansett Bay Drainage Basin for treatment and discharge.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Presence and Distribution of Organic Wastewater Compounds in Wastewater, Surface, Ground, and Drinking Waters, Minnesota, 2000- 02 AN - 19581615; 7293247 AB - Household, industrial, and agricultural-use com-pounds (HIAs), pharmaceuticals, antibiotics, sterols, and hormones are newly recognized classes of organic com-pounds that are often associated with wastewater. These organic wastewater compounds (OWCs) are characterized by high usage rates, potential health effects, and continuous release into the environment through human activities. OWCs can enter the environment through a variety of sources and may not be completely removed in wastewater treatment systems resulting in potentially continuous sources of OWCs to surface, ground, and drinking waters. It is important to determine the presence and distribution of OWCs in Minnesota's wastewater, surface, ground, and drinking waters because of potential human and ecosystem health concerns. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) conducted a reconnaissance study to determine the presence and distribution of OWCs in wastewater, surface, ground, and drinking waters in Minnesota during October 2000 through November 2002. The purpose of this report is to describe the results of this study and to document the quality-assurance procedures used to evaluate data quality. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - August Median Streamflow on Ungaged Streams in Eastern Coastal Maine AN - 19581580; 7293214 AB - Methods for estimating August median streamflow were developed for ungaged, unregulated streams in eastern coastal Maine. The methods apply to streams with drainage areas ranging in size from 0.04 to 73.2 square miles and fraction of basin underlain by a sand and gravel aquifer ranging from 0 to 71 percent. The equations were developed with data from three long-term (greater than or equal to 10 years of record) continuous-record streamflow- gaging stations, 23 partial-record streamflow- gaging stations, and 5 short-term (less than 10 years of record) continuous-record streamflow-gaging stations. A mathematical technique for estimating a standard low-flow statistic, August median streamflow, at partial-record streamflow-gaging stations and short- term continuous-record streamflow-gaging stations was applied by relating base-flow measurements at these stations to concurrent daily streamflows at nearby long-term continuous-record streamflow- gaging stations (index stations). Generalized least-squares regression analysis (GLS) was used to relate estimates of August median streamflow at streamflow-gaging stations to basin characteristics at these same stations to develop equations that can be applied to estimate August median streamflow on ungaged streams. GLS accounts for different periods of record at the gaging stations and the cross correlation of concurrent streamflows among gaging stations. Thirty-one stations were used for the final regression equations. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Statistical Model and National Data Set for Partitioning Fish- Tissue Mercury Concentration Variation Between Spatiotemporal and Sample Characteristic Effects AN - 19581166; 7293521 AB - Many Federal, Tribal, State, and local agencies monitor mercury in fish-tissue samples to identify sites with elevated fish-tissue mercury (fish-mercury) concentrations, track changes in fish-mercury concentrations over time, and produce fish- consumption advisories. Interpretation of such monitoring data commonly is impeded by difficulties in separating the effects of sample characteristics (species, tissues sampled, and sizes of fish) from the effects of spatial and temporal trends on fish- mercury concentrations. Without such a separation, variation in fish-mercury concentrations due to differences in the characteristics of samples collected over time or across space can be misattributed to temporal or spatial trends; and/or actual trends in fish-mercury concentration can be misattributed to differences in sample characteristics. This report describes a statistical model and national data set (31,813 samples) for calibrating the aforementioned statistical model that can separate spatiotemporal and sample characteristic effects in fish-mercury concentration data. This model could be useful for evaluating spatial and temporal trends in fishmercury concentrations and developing fish-consumption advisories. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

The regional direction of ground-water flow is generally to the south and east except where affected by intense ground-water withdrawals. In 2002, the highest water-level altitude measured was 287 feet above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 in northeastern Clay County. The lowest water-level altitude measured was 78 feet above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 in southwestern Ashley County. Comparisons of water- level changes in cones of depression from 1998 to 2002 show increases and decreases in depth or areal extent. A large depression in the potentiometric surface was located in Arkansas, Lonoke, and Prairie Counties during 1998 and persisted in 2002. Water levels generally declined in this depression in Lonoke County but rose in Arkansas County. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Fractionation and Characterization of Organic Matter in Wastewater from a Swine Waste-Retention Basin AN - 19580941; 7293543 AB - Organic matter in wastewater sampled from a swine waste- retention basin in Iowa was fractionated into 14 fractions on the basis of size (particulate, colloid, and dissolved); volatility; polarity (hydrophobic, transphilic, hydrophilic); acid, base, neutral characteristics; and precipitate or flocculates (floc) formation upon acidification. The compound-class composition of each of these fractions was determined by infrared and 13C-NMR spectral analyses. Volatile acids were the largest fraction with acetic acid being the major component of this fraction. The second most abundant fraction was fine particulate organic matter that consisted of bacterial cells that were subfractionated into extractable lipids consisting of straight chain fatty acids, peptidoglycans components of bacterial cell walls, and protein globulin components of cellular plasma. The large lipid content of the particulate fraction indicates that non-polar contaminants, such as certain pharmaceuticals added to swine feed, likely associate with the particulate fraction through partitioning interactions. Hydrocinnamic acid is a major component of the hydrophobic acid fraction, and its presence is an indication of anaerobic degradation of lignin originally present in swine feed. This is the first study to combine particulate organic matter with dissolved organic matter fractionation into a total organic matter fractionation and characterization.

Ground water is widely used as a source of water for drinking and industry in Kalamazoo County and the surrounding area. Additionally, lakes and streams are valued for their recreational and aesthetic uses. Stresses on the ground-water system, both natural and human-induced, have raised concerns about the long-term availability of ground water for people to use and for replenishment of lakes and streams. Potential changes in these stresses, including withdrawals and recharge, were simulated using a ground-water-flow model. Simulations included steady-state conditions (in which stresses remained constant and changes in storage were not included) and transient conditions (in which stresses changed in seasonal and monthly time scales and storage within the system was included). Steady-state simulations were used to investigate the long-term effects on water levels and streamflow of a reduction in recharge or an increase in pumping to projected 2010 withdrawal rates, withdrawal and application of water for irrigation, and a reduction in recharge in urban areas caused by impervious surfaces. Transient simulations were used to investigate changes in withdrawals to match seasonal and monthly patterns under various recharge conditions, and the potential effects of the use of water for irrigation over the summer months.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Simulated Ground-Water Flow for a Pond-Dominated Aquifer System near Great Sandy Bottom Pond, Pembroke, Massachusetts AN - 19580918; 7293317 AB - The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MDEP) is concerned that increased water demands with population growth will adversely affect water supplies, pond levels, and streamflow in the area of Pembroke, MA. A numerical ground-water- flow model for a region that includes numerous public-supply sources of water near Pembroke, MA, would be useful to local and State water managers to assess effects of alternative water- development options on water resources in the region, particularly pond levels, ground-water levels, and streamflows. Hydraulic interactions between ponds, streams, wetlands, and an extensive aquifer system require a model-simulation approach that accounts for all water that is available to enter ponds and recharge the aquifer system under variable climatic conditions and conditions of increasing water withdrawals. The modeling strategy for the hydrologic system near Pembroke accounts for all water that is available to enter ponds and recharge the aquifer system, and is potentially applicable to low-relief terrains elsewhere.

Contaminants from AFP4, primarily volatile organic compounds and metals, have entered the ground-water-flow system through leakage from wastedisposal sites and from manufacturing processes. The U.S. Geological Survey developed a comprehensive geodatabase of temporal and spatial environmental information associated with the hydrogeologic units (alluvial aquifer, Goodland- Walnut confining unit, and Paluxy aquifer) beneath the facility and a three-dimensional conceptual model of the hydrogeologic units integrally linked to the geodatabase. The geodatabase design uses a thematic layer approach to create layers of feature data using a geographic information system. The various features are separated into relational tables in the geodatabase on the basis of how they interact and correspond to one another. Using the geodatabase, geographic data at the site are manipulated to produce maps, allow interactive queries, and perform spatial analyses. The conceptual model for the study area comprises computer-generated, three-dimensional block diagrams of the hydrogeologic units. The conceptual model provides a platform for visualization of hydrogeologicunit sections and surfaces and for subsurface environmental analyses. The conceptual model is based on three structural surfaces and two thickness configurations of the study area. The three structural surfaces depict the altitudes of the tops of the three hydrogeologic units. The two thickness configurations are those of the alluvial aquifer and the Goodland- Walnut confining unit. The surface of the alluvial aquifer was created using a U.S. Geological Survey 10-meter digital elevation model. The 2,130 point altitudes of the top of the Goodland- Walnut unit were compiled from lithologic logs from existing wells, available soil-boring logs, and previous studies. Data from 120 wells, primarily from existing reports, were used to create a map of the approximate altitude of the Paluxy aquifer. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

An upstream-down-stream (above-and-below) experimental design was used to isolate the pollutant loads coming from the construction site. Automated, intensive stream-water sampling took place during storm-runoff periods in three different phases on the project: preconstruction (October 1999 to April 2001), land disturbance (May 2001 to March 2002), and home construction (April 2002 to September 2002). Concentrations of total solids and total suspended solids in stream-water samples were used to compute storm loads fir each contaminant contributed to Brewery Creek during each phase. In addition to water quality and quantity, other physical and biological data were analyzed to determine the effectiveness of storm-runoff and erosion controls in protecting the integrity of Brewery Creek. Geomorphology classifications, including bed- and bank-material characterizations, were done at intervals throughout the study period. Stream temperatures were recorded at 15-minute intervals during each phase of the project. Annual fish surveys were done to determine species compositions and density. Finally, macroinvertebrate and habitat data were collected at various intervals to assess the overall health of the stream. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

At-a-station hydraulic-geometry curves, expressed as well-established power functions, describe the relations between channel geometry, velocity, and flow at a given point on a river. The derived at-a-station hydraulic-geometry curves indicate that, on average, a given increase in flow at a given river cross section in the study area will be nearly equally conveyed by increases in velocity and channel cross-sectional area.

The study area includes riffle reaches of the main stem Charles and Assabet Rivers and riffle reaches on tributaries to the Assabet and Charles Rivers in Massachusetts. The report describes streamflow requirements determined by means of the R2Cross (Nehring, 1979; Espegren, 1996, 1998), Wetted-Perimeter (Nelson, 1984; Leathe and Nelson, 1986), Tennant methods (Tennant, 1976), and by the RVA (Richter and others, 1997). The report also describes the fish communities at or near riffle sites in the Assabet and Charles River Basin study areas. The report evaluates the health of the habitat in relation to the fish population. The evaluation is based on the results of fishpopulation surveys conducted in the study basins during 2000 02. In addition, the report relates the results to analysis of the target fish community determined for the Quinebaug River Basin, MA. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

In 1985, an exchange of lands and interests in lands between the Northwest Alaska Native Association and the United States resulted in a 100-year transportation system easement for 19,747 acres in the monument. A road was then constructed along the easement from the Red Dog Mine, a large zinc concentrate producer and located northeast of the monument, through the monument to the coast and a port facility. Each year approximately 1.3 million tonnes of zinc and lead concentrate are transported from the Red Dog Mine via this access road. Concern about the possible deposition of cadmium, lead, zinc and other trace elements in the monument was the basis of a cooperative project with the National Park Service.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Hydrogeology and Water Quality of the Pepacton Reservoir Watershed in Southeastern New York. Part 2. Hydrogeology, Stream Base Flow, and Ground-Water Recharge AN - 19580762; 7293342 AB - The hydrogeology of the 372-square-mile Pepacton Reservoir watershed (herein called the East Branch Delaware River Basin) in the southwestern Catskill Mountain region of Southeastern New York is described and depicted in a detailed surficial geologic map and two geologic sections. An analysis of stream discharge records and estimates of mean annual ground-water recharge and stream base flow for eight subbasins in the basin are included. Analysis of surficial geologic data indicates that the most widespread geologic unit within the basin is till, which occurs as masses of ablation till in major stream valleys and as thick deposits of lodgment till that fill upland basins. Till covers about 91.5 percent of the Pepacton Reservoir watershed, whereas stratified drift (alluvium, outwash, and ice-contact deposits) accounts for 6.3 percent. The Pepacton Reservoir occupies about 2.3 percent of the basin area. Large outwash and ice-contact deposits occupy the valleys of the upper East Branch Delaware River, the Tremper Kill, the Platte Kill, the Bush Kill, and Dry Brook. These deposits form stratified-drift aquifers that range in thickness from 90 feet in parts of the upper East Branch Delaware River Valley to less than 30 feet in the Dry Brook valley, and average about 50 feet in the main East Branch Delaware River Valley near Margaretville.

Numerical models were developed and calibrated for each study area on the basis of geologic and hydrologic data collected during this and previous investigations. Maps depict the simulated area contributing recharge to supply wells in glacial valley-fill and wetland settings for selected pumping rates and steady-state, average hydrologic conditions. Maps also show the effects of selected hydrologic properties on the delineated area contributing recharge to the supply wells. The area contributing recharge to a public- supply well is defined as the surface area where water recharges the ground water and then flows toward and discharges to the well (Reilly and Pollock, 1993).

Ground water from these basins supplies a major part of the water requirements for the region. The continuous population growth in this area has resulted in ever-increasing demands on local ground- water resources. The collection and interpretation of ground-water data helps local water districts, military bases, and private citizens gain a better understanding of the ground-water flow systems, and consequently, water availability. During March and April 2004, the U.S. Geological Survey and other agencies made almost 900 water-level measurements in about 740 wells in the Mojave River and Morongo groundwater basins. These data document recent conditions and, when compared with historical data, changes in ground-water levels. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

This report describes (1) an indirect method, called the recession-curve- displacement method, for determining a series of annual and seasonal ground- water-recharge rates at 55 unregulated stream-gaging stations in New Hampshire and in adjacent states; (2) the relation of the series of annual and seasonal ground-water-recharge values to the corresponding series of annual and seasonal basin-centroid precipitation values for each drainage basin through regression analyses; (3) the development of a set of normalized annual and seasonal ground-water-recharge values corresponding to average annual and seasonal basin precipitation from 1961 to 1990; (4) the development of regression equations to relate normalized ground- water recharge to basin and climatic characteristics that can be used to determine ground-water recharge in any basin in New Hampshire; and (5) the spatial variation and uncertainty in the regression-derived ground-water-recharge rates. Ground-water- recharge rates developed in this report approximate the average recharge rates for the period from 1961 to 1990. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

The recharge source of the unconfined aquifer, inter-dunal ponds, and Big and Little Spring Creeks is determined. The age of ground waters sampled from the unconfined and confined aquifers is determined using a variety of geochemical methods. The amount of mixing in the unconfined aquifer of (presumably) older waters from the confined aquifer with young waters derived from recharge by local precipitation and recharge from Medano and Sand Creeks is discussed. Ground- and surface-water samples were collected during 2000 and 2001 from streams, springs, and wells in and adjacent to Great Sand Dunes. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

The samples were analyzed for the presence of 155 pesticides and pesticide transformation products. Thirty-nine of the compounds were detected at least once during the study: 20 herbicides, 9 insecticides, 2 fungicides, 6 pesticide transformation products, and 2 other types of compounds. The most widespread compound was 4-nitrophenol, which was detected at all 14 sampling sites. The most frequently detected compound was pentachlorophenol, a fungicide, which occurred in more than 80 percent of the samples. The most frequently detected herbicides were prometon, trichlopyr, 2,4-D, and MCPP, and the most frequently detected insecticides were diazinon and carbaryl. All of the most frequently detected herbicides and insecticides were sold for homeowner use over the timeframe of this study. More compounds were detected during storms than during base flow, and were detected more frequently and typically at high concentrations during storms. Seven compounds were detected only during storms. Most of the compounds that were detected during storms occurred more frequently during spring storms than during autumn storms.

The models were constructed during 2001- 2002 for surficial sand and gravel aquifers in two areas along the Mississippi River between Brainerd and St. Cloud in central Minnesota. This area was divided into overlapping northern and southern portions, each about 2,000-km2, for construction of the two models. The two models (hereinafter referred to as the northern and southern models) simulate ground-water flow in the aquifers within these areas as single layer systems under water- table, steady-state conditions. Available hydrologic data were used as model inputs and for model calibration. Ground-water levels measured in wells drilled during the last 50 years and baseflow measurements of the Mississippi River made in 1988 (Payne, 1995) were used for model calibration.

Travel times were estimated for Sauk, Elk, Crow, and Rum Rivers, and Elm, Coon, and Rice Creeks. Regression equations based on watershed characteristics of drainage area, river slope, mean annual discharge, and instantaneous discharge at the time of measurement from more than 900 streams across the nation were used to estimate travel times. Travel times were estimated for the leading edge, peak concentration, and trailing edge of tracer-response curves. To test the validity of these equations, a time of travel study, using a luminescent dye, was conducted on the Sauk River, from Rockville, to the confluence with the Mississippi River on June 16, 2003, at a discharge of 457 ft3/s at Rockville. Dye was injected in the Sauk River at Rockville, and time and concentrations were measured at three sampling sections downstream; at County Road 121, Veterans Drive, and County Road 1 near the mouth. The estimated travel times for the leading edge, peak concentration, and trailing edge at County Road 1 were 10.6 hrs, 11.9 hrs, and 14.6 hrs, respectively. The measured travel times for the leading edge, peak concentration, and trailing edge were 13.4 hrs, 15.5 hrs, and 20.5 hrs, respectively for the 15.7 mile reach JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

The local model, which derives boundary conditions from a basin-scale model, spans the 12-mile reach of Rillito Creek and extends 9 miles south into the Central Well Field. Recharge scenarios along Rillito Creek range from 5,000 to 60,000 acre-feet per year and are simulated to begin in 2005 and extend through 2225 to estimate long-term changes in ground-water level, ground-water storage, ground-water flux, and evapotranspiration.

The other six were USGS-National Stream Quantity Accounting Network (NASQAN) stations where water quality is monitored. The objectives were to document temporal and geographic trends in the concentrations of accumulative organic and inorganic contaminants in RGB fish and the effects of contaminants on the fish; to continue testing the feasibility of incorporating biomarkers (that is, biochemical, histopathological, and other biological indicators of contaminant exposure or effects) into a monitoring program for large U.S. rivers; and to evaluate the compatibility of monitoring methods based on the analysis of fish with those used to monitor water by NASQAN.

The results of this investigation add to the understanding of the fractured bedrock at the site for remedial activities and provide information needed for ongoing site investigations. Geologic mapping was conducted at the riverbank and selected locations in the Berlin area, and geophysical surveys were used to collect data at the riverbank, site perimeter, and on the site cap. Borehole-geophysical logs were collected at two wells to examine bedrock-fracture characteristics beneath the site cap adjacent to the river. Continuous water-level monitoring was conducted at eight wells and in the river to examine the hydraulic connection between the wells and the river. Because of the scope of the investigation, the characterization focuses on the bedrock geology of the cell-house site and does not include detailed analysis of the overburden materials.

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Air Force, completed 30 slug tests in October 2002 and August 2003 to obtain estimates of horizontal hydraulic conductivity to use as initial values in a ground-water-flow model for the site. The tests were done by placing a polyvinyl-chloride slug of known volume beneath the water level in selected wells, removing the slug, and measuring the resulting water-level recovery over time. The water levels were measured with a pressure transducer and recorded with a data logger. Hydraulic-conductivity values were estimated from an analytical relation between the instantaneous displacement of water in a well bore and the resulting rate of head change. Although nearly two-thirds of the tested wells recovered 90 percent of their slug-induced head change in less than 2 minutes, 90-percent recovery times ranged from 3 seconds to 35 minutes. The estimates of hydraulic conductivity range from 0.2 to 200 feet per day. Eighty-three percent of the estimates are between 1 and 100 feet per day. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

The study was separated into two time periods because of a precipitation event that occurred on the afternoon of July 30 causing appreciable storm runoff. Streamflow was separated to identify base-flow and surface-runoff components using the Base Flow Index hydrograph separation computer program. Base-flow separation analyses indicated annual variability in streamflow throughout the Buffalo River Basin. Based upon these analyses, total and base flow were below average for the mainstem of the river and Richland Creek during the 2003 water year. Water-quality samples were collected from 25 surface-water sites on the Buffalo River and selected tributaries. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

The equations can be used for non-urban, unregulated stream sites in Connecticut with drainage areas ranging from about 2 to 715 square miles. Flood frequency data and hydrologic characteristics from 70 stream flow gaging stations and the upstream drainage basins were used to develop the equations. The hydrologic characteristics -drainage area, mean basin elevation, and 24-hour rainfall -are used in the equations to estimate the magnitude of floods. Average standard errors of prediction for the equations are 31.8, 32.7, 34.4, 35.9, 37.6 and 45.0 percent for the 2-, 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, and 500- year recurrence intervals, respectively. Simplified equations using only one hydrologic characteristic -drainage area-also were developed. The regression analysis is based on generalized least- squares regression techniques.

In this area, groundwater supplies have been developed, surface-water resources have been fully appropriated, and conservation and conjunctive water-use measures are being used to meet water-resource needs. Complex networks of water-distribution systems have been developed to deliver surface- water supplies, and interstate agreements, such as the Colorado River Compact of 1922, help manage the distribution of water among many States in the Western United States, including Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. Estimated water- withdrawal and related data were compiled from various sources to identify trends in Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. More water is used for agriculture than domestic and industrial use in these five States. From 1950 to 2000, however, the percentage increase in withdrawal for domestic water use exceeded that for agricultural use. Data from 1950 to 2000 were compiled and examined to identify changes over time in ground- water and surface-water withdrawals for agricultural, domestic, and self-supplied industrial water uses for the States, counties, and water-resources regions. Withdrawals for agricultural use include water used for crop irrigation and, when reported, for livestock use. Withdrawals for domestic use include reported public water supply as well as self-supplied domestic use. Withdrawals for industrial water use include self-supplied water used for mining, thermoelectric, and other general industrial and commercial purposes. Only fresh ground water and surface water for all offstream uses were compiled. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

The calibrated model will be used by Minnesota Department of Health communities in the Grand Rapids area in the development of wellhead protection plans for their water supplies. The model calibrated through comparison of simulated ground-water levels to measured static water levels in 351 wells, and comparison of simulated base-flow rates to estimated base-flow rates for reaches of the Mississippi and Prairie Rivers. Model statistics indicate that the model tends to overestimate ground-water levels. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

The report documents project activities that included: (1) compiling and analyzing hydrologic data collected as part of the study to describe the hydrology of southeastern Florida; (2) using a three- dimensional variable density numerical ground-water model to simulate the movement of the saltwater interface in response to environmental stresses; and (3) using field data, statistical analyses, and model results to quantify the relation between hydrologic stresses and water-management factors and movement of the saltwater interface. This report discusses continuous ground- water level and specific conductance data used to develop accurate aquifer parameters and boundary conditions for a representative numerical model. This representative three-dimensional, variable- density, numerical ground-water model was developed to simulate saltwater interface movement in response to canal stage fluctuations, well-field withdrawals, recharge and sea-level rise. Simulation scenarios are presented to evaluate the response of the saltwater interface to seasonal and multiyear stresses. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

Leavenworth, Kansas AN - 19577664; 7293753 AB - The purpose of this report is to describe the development, calibration, and results of a ground-water flow model of the Missouri River alluvial aquifer near Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas. The simulated results of five pumping-rate and river-stage scenarios are presented and include low pumping rates, average river stage; high pumping rates, average river stage; average pumping rates, average river stage; average pumping rates, low river stage; and average pumping rates, high river stage. The contributing recharge area (CRA) to each well field and related ground-water travel times at various distances from each pub-lic-water-supply well field are presented for each scenario as well as ground-water flow direction and travel time from FTL10, FTL-11, and FTL-69 to the well fields for average yearly well pumping and average annual river stage and rainfall conditions. For this report, the Missouri River alluvial aquifer includes the alluvial aquifer adjacent to the Platte River in the study area. The International System of Units is used in this report. However, locations along the Missouri River are identified by river miles to allow readers to easily identify Missouri River locations. Data collected for this study during 2001 and 2002 include hourly water levels from 13 monitoring wells installed in 2001, rates of ground-water pumpage from public-water-sup-ply well fields located in the study area, daily rainfall amounts, and concurrent river stages for the Missouri and Platte Rivers.

Acoustic Doppler velocity meters were installed at the North Fork, Speedy Point, and Steele Point sites within the estuary. These sites provide varying flow, salinity, water- quality, and channel cross-sectional characteristics. The monitoring site at Steele Point was not used in the analyses because repeated instrument relocations (due to bridge construction) prevented a sufficient number of samples from being collected at the various locations. Acoustic and optic instruments were installed to collect water velocity, acoustic backscatter strength (ABS), and turbidity data that were used to assess the feasibility of estimating suspendedsolids concentrations in the estuary. Other data collected at the monitoring sites include tidal stage, salinity, temperature, and periodic discharge measurements. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Simulated Effects of the 2003 Permitted Withdrawals and Water- Management Alternatives on Reservoir Storage and Firm Yields of Three Surface-Water Supplies, Ipswich River Basin, Massachusetts AN - 19577643; 7293737 AB - The Hydrologic Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) model of the Ipswich River Basin previously developed by the U.S. Geological Survey was modified to evaluate the effects of the 2003 withdrawal permits and water-management alternatives on reservoir storage and yields of the Lynn, Peabody, and Salem-Beverly water-supply systems. These systems obtain all or part of their water from the Ipswich River Basin. The HSPF model simulated the complex water budgets to the three supply systems, including effects of regulations that restrict withdrawals by the time of year, minimum streamflow thresholds, and the capacity of each system to pump water from the river. 2003 permits restrict withdrawals from the Ipswich River between November 1 and May 31 to streamflows above a 1.0 cubic foot per second per square mile (cu ft/s/sq mi) threshold, to high flows between June 1 and October 31, and to a maximum annual volume. Yields and changes in reservoir storage over the 35-year simulation period (196195) were also evaluated for each system with a hypothetical low-capacity pump, alternative seasonal streamflow thresholds, and withdrawals that result in successive failures (depleted storage).

Therefore, a study was conducted to simulate runoff and wetland storage in the Hamden and Lonetree watershed sites in the Red River of the North Basin. Data from geographic information system analyses, collected weather data, additional historic weather data, and geomorphology were used in a wetlands hydrologic model to simulate precipitation accumulation, snowmelt, evapotranspiration, soil infiltration, seepage to ground water, surface runoff, and streamflow. Simulated daily mean water volumes for the soil and wetlands in the Hamden and Lonetree watershed sites showed that the soils of the two sites stored as much water as the wetlands throughout most of the simulation period.

As part of this study, synoptic water-level measurements were made during three time periods in 55 wells open to the Upper Floridan aquifer in Camden County, Georgia, and Nassau County, Florida, prior to the mill shutdown (September 2002) and after the shutdown (January and May 2003). Sixty-one water samples were collected from 31 wells in Camden County, Georgia, during the same three time periods, to evaluate possible changes in chloride concentration in the Upper Floridan aquifer. Potentiometric-surface maps were constructed for each time period to show changes in ground-water flowpaths and to help determine the areal extent of water-level rise. Hydrographs from six continuously monitored wells in Camden County, Georgia, and two wells in Nassau County, Florida, were used to evaluate water- level trends and the effect of decreased ground-water withdrawal on a regional scale and to assess interaquifer leakage response. Water-use data for these areas were compiled and compared to water- level data from continuous recorders to evaluate the effects of industrial withdrawal. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

The rivers were simulated from downstream of Detroit and Big Cliff dams to the confluence with the Willamette River. Inputs to the model included bathymetric data, flow and temperature from dam releases, tributary flow and temperature, and meteorologic data. The model was calibrated for the period July 1 through November 21, 2001, and confirmed with data from April 1 through October 31, 2002. Flow calibration made use of data from two streamflow gages, and travel time and river- width data. Temperature calibration used data from 16 temperature monitoring locations in 2001 and 5 locations in 2002. A sensitivity analysis was completed by independently varying input parameters, including point-source flow, air temperature, flow and water temperature from dam releases, and riparian shading.

Water-bearing strata were divided into four generalized hydrogeologic units: (1) fissured aquifers (including karst and non-karst limestone); (2) intergranular aquifers; (3) intergranular aquifers overlying fissured rock units; and (4) strata with local or limited ground-water resources. Approximately 49 percent of the municipal industrial parks are located in areas with local or limited ground-water resources, 29 percent overlie intergranular aquifers, 13 percent overlie fissured aquifers, and 9 percent overlie intergranular units that overlie fissured rock units.

Because of the importance of this resource, numerous communities including the city of Cadillac in Wexford County, Michigan, have begun local wellhead protection programs. In these programs, communities protect their ground- water resources by identifying the areas that contribute water to production wells, identifying potential sources of contamination, and developing methods to cooperatively manage and minimize threats to the water supply. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the city of Cadillac, simulated regional ground- water flow and estimated areas contributing recharge and zones of transport to the production well field. Ground-water flow models for the Clam River watershed, in Wexford and Missaukee Counties, were developed using the U.S. Geological Survey modular three- dimensional finite-difference ground-water flow model (MODFLOW 2000). Ground-water flow models were calibrated using the observation, sensitivity, and parameter estimation packages of MODFLOW 2000. Ground-water-head solutions from calibrated flow models were used in conjunction with MODPATH, a particle-tracking program, to simulate regional ground-water flow and estimate areas contributing recharge and zones of transport to the Cadillac production-well field for a 10-year period.

The ZELIG and FORCLIM models are tested against forest survey data from western Oregon. Their ability to generate accurate patterns of forest basal area and species composition is evaluated for series of sites with contrasting climate. Projections from both models approximate the basal area and composition patterns for three sites along the elevation gradient at H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest in the western Cascade Range. The ZELIG model is somewhat more accurate than FORCLIM at the two low-elevation sites. Attempts to project forest composition along broader climatic gradients reveal limitations of ZELIG, however. The objective of this report is to provide readers with the information they need to choose one or the other model for the application they are planning. It focuses on how ZELIG and FORCLIM perform along regional environmental gradients in western Oregon. We emphasize the ability of the models to reproduce patterns of forest composition and structure along climatic gradients. We believe that an important capability of the models in this regard is their simulation of forests where forests grow, and forest absence in places forests do not now grow. Also, where forests grow, the models should simulate dominance by the actual dominant species (as measured in field plot surveys and studies), the approximate order of species importance, and total stand biomass that resembles estimates from field data.

A year-long field study during 2001-02 that focused on monitoring surface- and ground-water relations was conducted, in cooperation with the Idaho Department of Water Resources, to address some of the water-user concerns. The study area comprised a 10.2-mile reach of the Portneuf River downstream from the Chesterfield Reservoir in the broad Portneuf Valley (Portneuf River Valley reach) and a 20-mile reach of the Portneuf River in a narrow valley downstream from the Portneuf Valley (Pebble-Topaz reach). During the field study, the surface-and ground-water relations were dynamic. A losing river reach was delineated in the middle of the Portneuf River Valley reach, centered approximately 7.2 miles downstream from Chesterfield Reservoir. Two seepage studies conducted in the Portneuf Valley during regulated high flows showed that the length of the losing river reach increased from 2.6 to nearly 6 miles as the irrigation season progressed.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Monitoring Channel Morphology and Bluff Erosion at Two Installations of Flow-Deflecting Vanes, North Fish Creek, Wisconsin, 2000-03 AN - 19574335; 7293815 AB - Flow-deflecting vanes were installed in the streambed along two meander bends with eroding bluffs in 2000 and 2001 in the upper main stem of North Fish Creek, a tributary to Lake Superior in Wisconsin. About 45 vanes were arranged in 15 arrays at each site to deflect the flow away from the eroding toe or base of the bluff (outside of a bend) and toward the point bar (inside of a bend). Channel cross-section and bluff-erosion surveys were done and streamflow and stage were measured before, during, and after vane installation to monitor changes in channel morphology and bluff erosion in the context of hydrologic conditions. There were two large floods in the study area in spring 2001 (recurrence interval of approximately 100 years) and in spring 2002 (recurrence intervals of approximately 50 years). Some maintenance and replacement of vanes were needed after the floods. Most of the channel-morphology changes resulted from the large floods, and fewer changes resulted from near-bankfull or at-bankfull flows (one in October 2002 and four in April and May 2003). At the bluff located 16.4 river miles upstream of the creek mouth (site 16.4), the vanes deflected flow and caused the channel to migrate away from the base of the bluff and toward the point bar, allowing sediment to deposit along the bluff base. The 361-foot reach at site 16.4 had a net gain of 6,740 cubic feet of sediment over the entire monitoring period (2000-03). Deposition (10,660 cubic feet) occurred mainly along the base of the bluff in the downstream part of the bend. Erosion occurred at site 16.4 along the streambed, the point bar side of the channel, and along a midchannel bar (1,220, 1,610, and 1,090 cubic feet, respectively). Less channel migration was observed during 2001-03 at another bluff located 12.2 river miles upstream of the creek mouth (site 12.2), which had a net loss of sediment through the 439-foot reach of 2,800 cubic feet over the monitored time period. The main volume of sediment was lost from the bluff toe in the downstream part of the bend (7,100 cubic feet). Monitored channel-morphology changes at site 12.2 were less than at site 16.4, most likely because installation was done after the April 2001 flood, which caused major changes in channel morphology at site 16.4, and because the monitoring period was shorter than at site 16.4. Bluff-erosion data from both sites indicate that mass wasting and block failures from the bluff top occur episodically and will continue to occur for decades or more.

The report (1) describes the construction and calibration of the Colville River Watershed ground-water-flow model, (2) evaluates the applicability and accuracy of the model as a predictive tool for assessing low-flow conditions, and (3) discusses the limitations of the model. The broad objective of this study was to develop a better understanding of the ground-water-flow system of the Colville River Watershed to help manage the water resources. The specific objectives were to: Estimate the hydraulic properties of the major hydrogeologic units; Define and describe the regional ground-water-flow system in the unconsolidated deposits; and Estimate the effects of different ground-water use alternatives on the ground-water and surface-water systems. The model was calibrated for September 2001 conditions, using 161 hydraulic-head measurements and 44 synoptic streamflow measurements. The streamflow measurements identified gaining and losing reaches over the unconsolidated valley deposits. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

Excavated seepage ponds derive water primarily from ground water seeping into the pond, in a manner similar to a dug well completed in a surficial aquifer. The availability of water from seepage ponds is controlled by the permeability of surficial deposits, the amount of precipitation recharging the ground-water system, and the volume of water stored in the pond. The viability of seepage ponds as supplies for irrigation is limited by low seepage rates and high dependence on climatic conditions. Ponds will not refill unless there is adequate precipitation to recharge the surficial aquifer, which subsequently drains (seeps) into the pond. JF - Scientific Investigations Report.

A variety of assessment methods have been used to identify bridges susceptible to scour and to estimate scour depths. A potential-scour assessment (Level 1) was used at 3,082 bridges to identify bridges that might be susceptible to scour. A rapid estimation method (Level 1+) was used to esti-mate contraction, pier, and abutment scour depths at 1,396 bridge sites to identify bridges that might be scour critical. A detailed hydraulic assessment (Level 2) was used to compute contraction, pier, and abutment scour depths at 398 bridges to determine which bridges are scour critical and would require further monitoring or application of scour countermeasures.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Baseline and Historic Depositional Rates and Lead Concentrations, Floodplain Sediments, Lower Coeur d'Alene River, Idaho AN - 19444016; 7292703 AB - Lead-rich sediments, containing at least 1000 ppm of lead (Pb), and derived mainly from discarded mill tailings in the Coeur d'Alene mining region, cover about 60 km(sup 2) of the 80-km(sup 2) floor of the main stem of the Coeur d'Alene River valley, in north Idaho. Although mill tailings have not been discarded directly into tributary streams since 1968, frequent floods continue to re-mobilize sediment from large secondary sources, previously deposited on the bed, banks, alluvial terraces, and natural levees of the river. Thus, lead-rich sediments (also enriched in iron, manganese, zinc, copper, arsenic, cadmium, antimony and mercury) continue to be deposited on the floodplain. This is hazardous to the health of resident and visiting human and wildlife populations, attracted by the river and its lateral lakes and wetlands. This report documents and compares depositional rates and lead concentrations of lead-rich sediments deposited on the bed, banks, natural levees, and flood basins of the main stem of the Coeur d'Alene River during several time-stratigraphic intervals. These intervals are defined by their stratigraphic positions relative to the base of the section of lead-rich sediments, the 1980 Mt. St. Helens volcanic-ash layer, and the sedimentary surface at the time of sampling. Four important intervals represent sediment deposition during the following time spans (younger to older): 1. Baseline, from 1980 to about 1993 (after tailings disposal to streams ended, but before any major removals of lead-rich sediments); 2. Early post-tailings-release, from about 1968 to 1980; 3. Historic floodplain-contamination, from about 1903 to 1968; and 4. Background, before the 1893 flood (the first major flood after large-scale mining and milling began upstream in 1886).

NTIS Prices: PC A07 N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Deposition, Erosion, and Bathymetric Change in South San Francisco Bay: 1858-1983 AN - 19443968; 7292699 AB - Since the California Gold Rush of 1849, sediment deposition, erosion, and the bathymetry of South San Francisco Bay have been altered by both natural processes and human activities. Historical hydrographic surveys can be used to assess how this system has evolved over the past 150 years. The National Ocean Service (NOS) formerly the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey (USCGS), collected five hydrographic surveys of South San Francisco Bay from 1858 to 1983. Analysis of these surveys enables us to reconstruct the surface of the bay floor for each time period and quantify spatial and temporal changes in deposition, erosion, and bathymetry. The creation of accurate bathymetric models involves many steps. Sounding data was obtained from the original USCGS and NOS hydrographic sheets and were supplemented with hand drawn depth contours. Shorelines and marsh areas were obtained from topographic sheets. The digitized soundings and shorelines were entered into a Geographic Information System (GIS), and georeferenced to a common horizontal datum. Using surface modeling software, bathymetric grids with a horizontal resolution of 50 m were developed for each of the five hydrographic surveys. Prior to conducting analyses of sediment deposition and erosion, we converted all of the grids to a common vertical datum and made adjustments to correct for land subsidence that occurred from 1934 to 1967. Deposition and erosion that occurred during consecutive periods was then computed by differencing the corrected grids. From these maps of deposition and erosion, we calculated volumes and rates of net sediment change in the bay. South San Francisco Bay has lost approximately 90 x 10(sup 6) m(sup 3) of sediment from 1858 to 1983; however within this timeframe there have been periods of both deposition and erosion. During the most recent period, from 1956 to 1983, sediment loss approached 3 x 10(sup 6) m(sup 3)/yr. One of the most striking changes that occurred from 1858 to 1983 was the conversion of more than 80% of the tidal marsh to salt ponds, agricultural, and urban areas. In addition, there has been a decline of approximately 40% in intertidal mud flat area. Restoration of these features will require a detailed understanding of the morphology and sediment sources of this complex system. JF - Open-file Report.

The CVI ranks the following in terms of their physical contribution to sea-level rise-related coastal change: geomorphology, regional coastal slope, rate of relative sea-level rise, historical shoreline change rates, mean tidal range and mean significant wave height. The rankings for each input variable were combined and an index value calculated for 500-meter grid cells covering coastal areas of the park. The CVI highlights those regions where the physical effects of sea-level rise might be the greatest. This approach combines the coastal system's susceptibility to change with its natural ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions, yielding a quantitative, although relative, measure of the park's natural vulnerability to the effects of sea-level rise. The CVI provides an objective technique for evaluation and long-term planning by scientists and park managers. Virgin Islands National Park coast consists of carbonate sand beaches, rock cliffs, fringing reefs, and mangrove wetlands. The areas within Virgin Islands National Park that are likely to be most vulnerable to sea-level rise are areas of unconsolidated sediment where coastal slope is low, and wave energy is high.

For this reason, the public has expressed concern over the acquisition of water rights directed by Public Law 101-618. The acquisition has resulted in removal of land from irrigation, which could cause shallow domestic wells to go dry and adversely affect shallow ground-water quality. Periodic water-level measurements and water-quality sampling at a monitoring-well network developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provided data to evaluate the potential effects of changes in water use. The USGS, in cooperation with Churchill County, analyzed these data and the monitoring-well network to determine if the network provides an adequate means to measure the response of the shallow aquifer to changes in water use, and to determine if measurable changes have taken place.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Huntington Beach Shoreline Contamination Investigation. Phase III. Coastal Circulation and Transport Patterns: The Likelihood of OCSD's Plume Impacting the Huntington Beach Shoreline. Final Report AN - 19442606; 7292697 AB - In July 1999, the Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA) began a series of beach closures in Huntington Beach, California, due to levels of total coliform, fecal coliform, and enterococci bacteria that exceeded newly applied beach sanitation AB411 standards. (The actual implementation date for AB411 was July 27, 1999.) The OCHCA began closing beaches on July 3, 1999, because the level of contamination was thought to be of sewage origin, and was indicative of human sewage contamination. Since that time, surfzone bacterial levels from Orange County Sanitation District's (OCSD) monitoring stations located north of the Santa Ana River and, in particular, at sites near and adjacent to the AES Corporation's Huntington Beach power generation plant have continued to exceed the AB411 standards on some days during the summer. Beginning in 1999, many land, estuarine, and coastal ocean- based studies were conducted to identify the source or sources of the bacteria. These investigations suggested that the elevated bacteria levels occurred primarily during late spring and summer and coincided with periods of maximum tidal range (i.e., spring tides). Grant et al. (2000) identified the offshore wastewater discharge from OCSD's outfall as a potential source for the observed shoreline contamination and hypothesized that this wastewater could be impacting the shoreline as the result of oceanographic processes such as internal waves, entrainment by the thermal discharge from the AES Corporation power plant, or a combination of both (i.e., the 'UCI Hypothesis'). In the summer of 2001, an extensive coastal ocean measurement program was undertaken to determine if a significant amount of bacteria from the outfall was transported to the adjacent shoreline. This project was the Huntington Beach Shoreline Contamination Investigation, Phase III (HB PIII) of the Orange County Sanitation District's investigation of possible sources of the bacteria found on Huntington Beach. This report is a summary of the results of the Phase III investigations. JF - Open-file Report.

In addition, the project provides data that can be used to determine the effectiveness of large-scale changes in water- resource management practices, document differences in water quality among water-supply types (large multiuse reservoir, small reservoir, run- of-river), and tributary-loading and in-lake data for water- quality modeling of Falls and Jordan Lakes. By September 2001, the project had progressed in four phases and included as many as 34 sites (in 1991). Most sites were sampled and analyzed by the U.S. Geological Survey. Some sites were already a part of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality statewide ambient water-quality monitoring network and were sampled by the Division of Water Quality. The network has provided data on streamflow, physical properties, and concentrations of nutrients, major ions, metals, trace elements, chlorophyll, total organic carbon, suspended sediment, and selected synthetic organic compounds. Project quality-assurance activities include written procedures for sample collection, record management and archive, collection of field quality-control samples (blank samples and replicate samples), and monitoring the quality of field supplies. In addition to project quality-assurance activities, the quality of laboratory analyses was assessed through laboratory quality-assurance practices and an independent laboratory quality-control assessment provided by the U.S. Geological Survey Branch of Quality Systems through the Blind Inorganic Sample Project and the Organic Blind Sample Project.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Coastal Circulation and Sediment Dynamics Along West Maui, Hawaii. Part III. Flow and Particulate Dynamics during the 2003 Summer Coral Spawning Season AN - 19442443; 7292691 AB - High-resolution measurements of currents, temperature, salinity and turbidity were made over the course of three months off West Maui in the summer and early fall 2003 to better understand coastal dynamics in coral reef habitats. Measurements were made through the emplacement of a series of bottom-mounted instruments in water depths less than 11 m. The studies were conducted in support of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal and Marine Geology Programs Coral Reef Project. The purpose of these measurements was to collect hydrographic data to better constrain the variability in currents and water column properties such as water temperature, salinity and turbidity in the vicinity of nearshore coral reef systems over the course of a summer and early fall when coral larvae spawn. These measurements support the ongoing process studies being conducted under the Coral Reef Project; the ultimate goal is to better understand the transport mechanisms of sediment, larvae, pollutants and other particles in coral reef settings. This report, the third in a series of three, describes data acquisition, processing and analysis. Previous reports provided data and results on: Long-term measurements of currents, temperature, salinity and turbidity off Kahana (PART I), and The spatial structure of currents, temperature, salinity and suspended sediment along West Maui (PART II).

The primary objective of the initiative was to determine the most cost-effective data collection protocols for GCMRC programs that (1) provide the accuracies required for currently measured parameters, (2) provide additional parameters for ecological monitoring, (3) reduce environmental impact by being less invasive than current methods, and (4) expand geographic extent of current ground approaches. The initial phase of the remote-sensing initiative determined the types of sampling parameters and their required accuracies for monitoring. This information was used to determine the most appropriate sensors for evaluation. The initiative evaluated 25 different data collections over a three-year period; many more remote-sensing instruments were considered, but were not evaluated because they could not meet the basic requirements on spatial resolution, wavelength, positional accuracy, or elevation accuracy. It was hoped that the evaluations would lead to a minimum set of technologies that would satisfy many program requirements. The results from all of our evaluations are reviewed in this report.

Streamflow in these reaches was artificially high during a naturally low-flow period due to an anthropogenic discharge. Ground-water/surface- water relations were examined by seepage runs (series of streamflow measurements for the computation of streams gains or losses) and measurements of the difference in head between the stream surface and shallow aquifer. Specific conductance and water- temperature measurements were used as ancillary data to help identify gaining and losing reaches. Three seepage runs and four runs in which hydraulic-head differences between the stream and shallow aquifer were measured (piezometer runs) were made during periods of base flow.

NTIS Prices: PC A03 N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Acid-Rock Drainage at Skytop, Centre County, Pennsylvania, 2004 AN - 19430276; 6261464 AB - Acid-rock drainage is the water-quality hazard resulting from the oxidation of iron sulfide minerals. The pH of acid-rock drainage typically ranges from 2 to 4, but can range to values as high as 8 and as low as -5. Many metals are more mobile under acidic conditions when compared to neutral or alkaline conditions. Consequently, acid-rock drainage can contribute metals as well as acidity to water supplies and aquatic ecosystems. Acid-rock drainage that develops from ore, mine waste, or spoil piles associated with metal- or coal mines is called acid-mine drainage. Acid-mine drainage is a worldwide environmental problem. The iron- sulfide minerals (pyrite, marcasite, pyrrhotite) that cause acid- mine drainage occur in many types of mineral deposits, coal- bearing rocks, rocks unrelated to mineral or coal deposits, and in acid sulfate soils. When these iron-sulfide minerals are exposed to oxidative weathering processes by natural or human-induced conditions, such as landslides or construction projects, acid-rock drainage may develop. An acid-rock drainage problem developed at Skytop along Bald Eagle Mountain in central Pennsylvania, where construction of a new section of Interstate Highway 99 (I-99) between Port Matilda and State College exposed pyrite-rich rocks associated with a zinc-lead deposit within a sandstone ridge.

At three long-term sites in the research basin, the measurements included snow depth, snow density, heights of the glacier surface and stratigraphic summer surfaces on stakes, and identification of the surface materials. Calculations of the mass balance of the surface strata - snow, new firn, superimposed ice, and old firn and ice mass at each site were based on these measurements. Calculations of fixed-date annual mass balances for each hydrologic year (October 1 to September 30), as well as net balances and the dates of minimum net balance measured between time-transgressive summer surfaces on the glacier, were made on the basis of the strata balances augmented by air temperature and precipitation recorded in the basin. Geodetic determination of displacements of the mass balance stake, and glacier surface altitudes was added to the data set in 1975 to detect the glacier motion responses to variable climate and mass balance conditions. In this report, only surface mass balances are reported for these sites; internal freezing and melting processes are known, but not discussed here. In 1975, additional measurements of glacier surface altitude at fixed locations and ice motion began at the three sites. The purpose of establishing these three sites was to make year-round measurements of mass balance, flow, and surface altitude changes continuously over the long periods of time required for climate change research. The complete time-series of measurements of glacier mass balance, motion, and surface- altitude at each of these sites are presented in tables and graphs in this report. JF - Open-file Report.

Prepared in cooperation with California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Sacramento. Central Valley Region. N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WILLIAMSON RIVER DELTA RESTORATION, KLAMATH COUNTY, OREGON. AN - 16355123; 11181 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an ecosystem restoration program for the Williamson River Delta of Klamath County in south-central Oregon is proposed. The project area is located within the 10.5-million-acre Klamath River basin straddling the Oregon and California borders. The upper portion of the basin is known for a high degree of biological diversity. However, as a result of many road environmental stresses, seven species within the area are not federally listed as threatened or endangered or candidates for listing and over 100 species are classified as sensitive. Restoration of the Williamson River delta was identified by the Upper Klamath Basin Working Group as a critical project to achieve both ecosystem restoration and economic stability in the region. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 1) would involve breaching the levees along the Williamson River and the Upper Klamath and Agency lakes, and filling the associated to drains. Levee breeches would also occur along the Upper Klamath Lake on both Tulana and Goose bays. The preferred alternative would also include dredging of the historic oxbow on the Goose Bay side of the delta to allow constant, year-round flow. Riparian fringe and wetland would be developed along the Williamson River and riprap would be graded and removed from the remaining lakeshore levees. Upland habitat restoration and ongoing weed control activities would be implemented, along with turbidity and erosion control measures. The plan would adopt an adaptive management approach, allowing for ad hoc adjustments as conditions in the delta change. A monitoring program would be incorporated into all phases of the project. The plan would be implemented over six years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Ecosystem restoration activities would re-establish and maintain the natural ecological functions of the delta, increasing habitats essential to federally protected fish species. The project would provide a significant opportunity to improve habitat for two endangered fish species, the Lost River and shortnose suckers, through wetland and riverine restoration at the mouth of the river, the largest tributary of Upper Klamath Lake. Approximately 3,000 acres of additional wetland habitat and 1,000 acres of aquatic would be created. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would require 1.25 million cubic yards of combined cut and fill, all of which would remain on-site. Farmland would be converted to wetland and upland habitat; the associated agricultural leases would not be renewed. Some archaeologically significant sites would be inundated and wave action could disturb other sites.

[Part 2 of 2] T2 - FEDERAL FLUID MINERALS LEASING AND DEVELOPMENT IN SIERRA AND OTERO COUNTIES, NEW MEXICO. AN - 36352302; 10556-030594_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan for managing public land and federal fluid minerals leasing and development in Sierra and Otero counties, New Mexico is proposed. Fluid minerals, including oil, natural gas, and geothermal resources, have been exploited in this area of south-central New Mexico since at least 1925, but no extensive development of these resources have taken place. Of the nearly 7.0 million acres of federal, state, tribal, and private lands in the two counties, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) administers approximately 1.8 million surface acre and 5.0 million acres of underlying federal mineral estate. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would perpetuate the current management direction, are considered in this final EIS. Action alternatives A and B would address existing legislative and regulatory requirements at a programmatic level and/or place constraints if resource values were determined to be sufficiently high or protections were justified in the public interest. Under either action alternative, decisions and analyses would be tiered from the management plan as set out in the final EIS. Alternative A, the preferred alternative, would implement existing laws, thereby protecting the environment to the extent deemed necessary while still meeting BLM's multiple-use mandates. Areas closed to leasing on a nondiscretionary basis would include the old Air Force bombing and gunnery range, public water reserves, the air navigation site, and wilderness study areas. Areas closed to leasing on a discretionary basis would include the Rattlesnake Hill Archaeological District, areas designated for class II visual resource management (VRM), and areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs). Areas on which no surface occupancy would be permitted include recreation and public purpose areas, Community Pit 7, riparian lands, wetlands, playas, ecological study plots, Nutt and Otero Mesa desert grassland areas, the Percha Creek Riparian Habitat Area, the Lake Valley Historic Townsite, Lone Butte, the Tularosa River. Big horn sheep habitat would be placed under controlled surface use restrictions and timing limitations. Areas under controlled surface use restrictions only would include Berrendo Administrative Camp Site, areas characterized by highly erosive and fragile soils, watersheds, big game habitat, crucial habitats, special status species habitats, the Jarilla Mountains, the Mormon Battalion Trail, the Butterfield Trail, the Jornada del Muerto Trail, areas designated for class II visual resource management (VRM), areas limited by VRM and off-road vehicle restrictions (ORV), the Cuchillo Mountains Pinion Nut Collection Area, the Lake Valley Back-country Byway, and areas nominated for ACEC status. Areas under timing limitations only would include the White Sands Missile Range Safety Evacuation Areas and the Red Sands ORV Area, POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed management scheme would allow for development of fluid mineral resources within the area, while protecting sensitive cultural and natural resources. In general, access to mineral resources would be relatively open. The exploitation of the resources would provide energy sources for the nation and boost the local economy through employment and capital and other expenditures. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The closure of certain areas and limitations on surface occupancy and timing of mineral entry would reduce the potential extent of exploitation of the available resources. Approximately 64,605 acres would be closed to leasing, and a further 1.21 million acres would be designated for restricted access only. Limitations on open areas would increase the costs of locating and developing the resources. Surface disturbances would destroy vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat and could result in erosion in some areas.

AN - 36349185; 10556-030594_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan for managing public land and federal fluid minerals leasing and development in Sierra and Otero counties, New Mexico is proposed. Fluid minerals, including oil, natural gas, and geothermal resources, have been exploited in this area of south-central New Mexico since at least 1925, but no extensive development of these resources have taken place. Of the nearly 7.0 million acres of federal, state, tribal, and private lands in the two counties, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) administers approximately 1.8 million surface acre and 5.0 million acres of underlying federal mineral estate. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would perpetuate the current management direction, are considered in this final EIS. Action alternatives A and B would address existing legislative and regulatory requirements at a programmatic level and/or place constraints if resource values were determined to be sufficiently high or protections were justified in the public interest. Under either action alternative, decisions and analyses would be tiered from the management plan as set out in the final EIS. Alternative A, the preferred alternative, would implement existing laws, thereby protecting the environment to the extent deemed necessary while still meeting BLM's multiple-use mandates. Areas closed to leasing on a nondiscretionary basis would include the old Air Force bombing and gunnery range, public water reserves, the air navigation site, and wilderness study areas. Areas closed to leasing on a discretionary basis would include the Rattlesnake Hill Archaeological District, areas designated for class II visual resource management (VRM), and areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs). Areas on which no surface occupancy would be permitted include recreation and public purpose areas, Community Pit 7, riparian lands, wetlands, playas, ecological study plots, Nutt and Otero Mesa desert grassland areas, the Percha Creek Riparian Habitat Area, the Lake Valley Historic Townsite, Lone Butte, the Tularosa River. Big horn sheep habitat would be placed under controlled surface use restrictions and timing limitations. Areas under controlled surface use restrictions only would include Berrendo Administrative Camp Site, areas characterized by highly erosive and fragile soils, watersheds, big game habitat, crucial habitats, special status species habitats, the Jarilla Mountains, the Mormon Battalion Trail, the Butterfield Trail, the Jornada del Muerto Trail, areas designated for class II visual resource management (VRM), areas limited by VRM and off-road vehicle restrictions (ORV), the Cuchillo Mountains Pinion Nut Collection Area, the Lake Valley Back-country Byway, and areas nominated for ACEC status. Areas under timing limitations only would include the White Sands Missile Range Safety Evacuation Areas and the Red Sands ORV Area, POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed management scheme would allow for development of fluid mineral resources within the area, while protecting sensitive cultural and natural resources. In general, access to mineral resources would be relatively open. The exploitation of the resources would provide energy sources for the nation and boost the local economy through employment and capital and other expenditures. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The closure of certain areas and limitations on surface occupancy and timing of mineral entry would reduce the potential extent of exploitation of the available resources. Approximately 64,605 acres would be closed to leasing, and a further 1.21 million acres would be designated for restricted access only. Limitations on open areas would increase the costs of locating and developing the resources. Surface disturbances would destroy vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat and could result in erosion in some areas. Recreationists could experience annoyance due to the presence of equipment and personnel in some areas, though most areas of recreational importance would be protected through closures or surface occupancy limitations.

AN - 36436698; 10546 AB - PURPOSE: The offer of five separate competitive, sealed-bid sales and the issuance of leases for five tracts of federal coal located adjacent to four existing surface coal mines in Campbell and Converse counties, Wyoming are proposed. Portions of the tracts lie within the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to groundwater quality, air quality, wildlife habitat, and cumulative impacts. The tracts under consideration include: 1 and 2) the NARO North and NARO South tracts, as applied for by Powder River Coal Company, which encompass 4,503 acres containing 564 million tons of federal goal; 3) the Little Thunder tract, as applied for by Ark Land Company, which encompasses 3,449 acres containing 479 million tons of federal coal; 4) the West Roundup tract, as applied for by Triton Coal Company LLC, which encompasses 1,871 acres containing 173 million tons of federal coal; and 5) the West Antelope tract, as applied for by Antelope Coal Company, which encompasses 3,542 acres containing 294 million tons of federal coal. The NARO tracts, which lie adjacent to the North Antelope/Rochelle Mine Complex operated by the Powder River Coal Company, would be mined as maintenance tracts for the existing mine complex. The Little Thunder tract, which lies adjacent to the Black Thunder Mine operated by the riton Coal Company, would be mined as a maintenance tract for the existing mine. The West Roundup tract, which lies adjacent to the North Rochelle Mine operated by the Triton Coal Company, would be mined as a maintenance tract for the existing mine complex. The West Antelope tract, which lies adjacent to the Antelope Mine operated by the Antelope Coal Company, would be mined as a maintenance tract for the existing mine. For each of the five Lease by Application tracts, the alternatives in this final EIS consider the impacts of leasing the tract as it the applicant proposes, leasing a reconfigured tract in order to avoid bypassing federal coal and/or to increase the fair market value of the federal coal in and around the tract; and not leasing the tract. All mined areas would be reclaimed following operations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the tracts would provide for efficient removal of coal, increasing the nation's energy reserves and reducing its dependence on foreign sources of energy. The mines would employ a significant number of workers and result in significant federal revenues and state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities would disturb soils and vegetation, along with the associated wildlife habitat, and require the pumping of groundwater, reducing the water table in the area. Habitat of federally listed protected plant and animal species could be damaged or destroyed. Groundwater quality would be degraded somewhat. The topography of the lease tracts would be altered significantly by mining and reclamation activities. Air pollutant levels, particularly particulate levels, would increase significantly during mining. A maximum of 62.16 acres of jurisdictional and 51.68 acres of non-jurisdictional wetlands would be disturbed. Recreational uses of the tracts would be severely limited during mining, and noise levels would increase substantially. Mining would also impact oil and gas development on both federal and private oil and gas leases.

AN - 36414389; 10550 AB - PURPOSE: The establishment of a general management plan for the Lackawanna Heritage Valley State and National Heritage Area of Lackawanna, Luzerne, Wayne, and Susquehanna counties, Pennsylvania is proposed. From 1840 to 1930, the designated period of significance, the Lackawanna Heritage Valley was a great, integrated industrial system designed to extract, process, and transport the anthracite coal that fueled the building of America. The mechanical elements of the system, the mines and works, the rails and mills, were abandoned piecemeal when their usefulness ended. But the organic element of the system, the people, rich in character, resilience and enterprise, survives. Key issues identified include those related to resource protection, interpretation, education, and tourism-based economic development. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would continue existing activities and programs of the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority (LHVA) related to area operation, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternatives B and C would continue current activities and programs. Alternative B would extend the focus to a major issue in the valley, namely, the loss of historic resources. An extensive historic preservation program would work to stabilize and preserve most of the remaining resources through Lacawanna County. Interpretation would be decentralized, with only the Lackawanna Visitors Center (and existing partners) providing structured interpretation. Visitors would create their own personalized visitation agendas. LHVA would be encouraged to partner with private owners of important resources. Alternative C would provide for a much more structured interpretation and visitor service experience. Preservation, interpretation, and visitor service efforts would be focused along a delineated tour of the valley that would function as an introduction to the valley's story as well as an activity in itself. Visitors would be strongly encouraged to visitor partner attractions in conjunction with the tour. LHVA would development partnerships with local communities to implement this alternative. Cost of implementing Alternative are estimated at $9.6 million. In addition to these costs, alternatives B and C would incur costs of $3.05 million and $11.2 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to preserving and enhancing the cultural values of the valley, all alternatives would promote an understanding of those values and forward related economic goals. Economic benefits resulting from alternatives A, B, and C would be worth $3,86 million, $29.55 million, and $33.52 million, respectively. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of visitor facilities would result in the displacement of soils and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. Increased visitation under alternatives B and C would significantly increase the numbers of vehicle trips in the area, but the increases would not be significant in the context of other growth-inducing factors in the valley region.

AN - 36349343; 10546-030571_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The offer of five separate competitive, sealed-bid sales and the issuance of leases for five tracts of federal coal located adjacent to four existing surface coal mines in Campbell and Converse counties, Wyoming are proposed. Portions of the tracts lie within the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to groundwater quality, air quality, wildlife habitat, and cumulative impacts. The tracts under consideration include: 1 and 2) the NARO North and NARO South tracts, as applied for by Powder River Coal Company, which encompass 4,503 acres containing 564 million tons of federal goal; 3) the Little Thunder tract, as applied for by Ark Land Company, which encompasses 3,449 acres containing 479 million tons of federal coal; 4) the West Roundup tract, as applied for by Triton Coal Company LLC, which encompasses 1,871 acres containing 173 million tons of federal coal; and 5) the West Antelope tract, as applied for by Antelope Coal Company, which encompasses 3,542 acres containing 294 million tons of federal coal. The NARO tracts, which lie adjacent to the North Antelope/Rochelle Mine Complex operated by the Powder River Coal Company, would be mined as maintenance tracts for the existing mine complex. The Little Thunder tract, which lies adjacent to the Black Thunder Mine operated by the riton Coal Company, would be mined as a maintenance tract for the existing mine. The West Roundup tract, which lies adjacent to the North Rochelle Mine operated by the Triton Coal Company, would be mined as a maintenance tract for the existing mine complex. The West Antelope tract, which lies adjacent to the Antelope Mine operated by the Antelope Coal Company, would be mined as a maintenance tract for the existing mine. For each of the five Lease by Application tracts, the alternatives in this final EIS consider the impacts of leasing the tract as it the applicant proposes, leasing a reconfigured tract in order to avoid bypassing federal coal and/or to increase the fair market value of the federal coal in and around the tract; and not leasing the tract. All mined areas would be reclaimed following operations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the tracts would provide for efficient removal of coal, increasing the nation's energy reserves and reducing its dependence on foreign sources of energy. The mines would employ a significant number of workers and result in significant federal revenues and state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities would disturb soils and vegetation, along with the associated wildlife habitat, and require the pumping of groundwater, reducing the water table in the area. Habitat of federally listed protected plant and animal species could be damaged or destroyed. Groundwater quality would be degraded somewhat. The topography of the lease tracts would be altered significantly by mining and reclamation activities. Air pollutant levels, particularly particulate levels, would increase significantly during mining. A maximum of 62.16 acres of jurisdictional and 51.68 acres of non-jurisdictional wetlands would be disturbed. Recreational uses of the tracts would be severely limited during mining, and noise levels would increase substantially. Mining would also impact oil and gas development on both federal and private oil and gas leases. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Coal Leasing Act Amendments of 1976, Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), General Mining Law of 1872, as amended (30 U.S.C. 21 et seq.), Multiple Use Sustained Yield Act of 1960 (16 U.S.C. 528 et seq.), National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.), and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).

AN - 36410893; 10539 AB - PURPOSE: A special resource study relative to the designation and protection of the Low Country Gullah Culture Special Resource Area by the National Park Service (NPS) is presented. The Gullah culture area, known as the Geechee culture in Georgia and Florida, is located along the southeastern coast of the United States in those two states as well as North Carolina and South Carolina. More specifically, the study area stretches along the coast roughly from the Cape Fear River near the North Carolina/South Carolina line to the St. John's River near the Georgia/Florida line. The area encompasses 12,315 square miles within coastal plain and 79 barriers islands and the associated water. The Gullah/Geechee people of today trace their ancestry to the enslaved Africans who inhabited the area. The history of the culture encompasses the rice plantation era forward to the present day. Special resource studies generally focus on one site or tract of land considered for protection. This study, however, focuses on the lifeways and traditions of a living culture in the Low Country and Sea Islands, a semi-tropical area that lies along coast. The influence of the ocean on the coastal plain extends approximately 30 miles inland with the flow of tidewater rivers. Most of the rice plantations that gave rise to the culture, and therefore the largest concentrations of the cultural type, were in the mainland tidal river areas. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative E), are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative A would involve the establishment of three Gullah/Geechee Coastal Heritage Centers. Alternative B would involve development of interpretive programs and exhibits at existing NPS parks within the study area. Alternative C would establish a national heritage area to be administered by one or more local entities that would guide and oversee the goals and objectives of the heritage area. Alternative D would combine alternatives A and C. Development costs of alternatives A, B, C, and D are estimated at $13 million, $1.0 million, $1.0 to $10 million, and $2.0 to $11 million, respectively. Respective annual operations and maintenance costs for the five are estimated at $1.0 million, $300,000, $1.0 million, and $2.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Management of the area by the NPS as a special resource area would preserve values associated with the Gullah/Geechee culture, including values associated with individual and family history, cultural sites and artifacts, cultural pride, regional and local history, and the Gullah language. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of the heritage centers under alternatives A and D and/or the interpretive facilities under other alternatives would result in some loss of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat.

[Part 1 of 2] T2 - DOS POBRES/SAN JUAN PROJECT, GRAHAM COUNTY, ARIZONA. AN - 36356448; 10525-030548_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The authorization of a mining plan of operations (MPO) development of mineral resources associated with the Dos Pobres and San Juan leachable copper ore deposits in Graham County, Arizona is proposed. The proposed Dos Pobres/San Juan Project, submitted to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) by Phelps Dodge Safford, Inc. (Phelps Dodge), would involve implementation an integrated mine plan employing conventional open-pit mining techniques with solution extraction/electrowinning technologies (SX/EW). As proposed, the project, located near Safford, would consist of two open-pit mines with one leach pad, a crushing and material-handling system, one shared SX/EW processing facility, and shared infrastructure and support facilities. The project would produce approximately 2.9 billion pounds of salable copper over it's 16-year production life. Project production would include the mining of 626 million tons of oxide and sulfide leach ore and 385 million tons of lower-grade and unmineralized material (development rock). Total mineable mineral amounts to 1.01 billion tons resulting in a 0.6:1 non-ore-to-ore ratio. Construction of the SX /EW facility would require 15 months to complete. Construction of the crushing and material handling system would begin approximately two years after construction of the SX/EW plant. A reclamation plan would be included in the project. Project activities would encompass 1,429 acres of private lands held by Phelps Dodge and 1,931 acres of BLM lands. In addition to the MPO, the BLM has approved a land exchange with Phelps Dodge that would enable the Dos Pobres/San Juan Project to proceed without BLM oversight, assuming that the Phelps Dodge was able to obtain all necessary environmental permits. Authorizing the MPO and approving the land exchange constitute two separate, but related, federal actions, both of which are addressed in this final EIS. Alternatives include three mine plan and two land exchange alternatives, each category including one No Action Alternative. The mining proposal by Phelps Dodge, with some potential changes, constitutes the action mining alternative. The action land exchange alternative would involve exchange of 16,297 acres of public land desired by Phelps Dodge for approximately 3,867 acres held by Phelps Dodge in five counties in Arizona. The BLM, which constitutes the primary decision-making agency, has selected as its preferred alternative the action land exchange alternative under which Phelps Dodge would acquire title to the selected lands. The Army Corps of Engineer's preferred alternative is the least environmentally damaging, practicable mine plan alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Extraction of the copper ore would help meet the nation's need for this metal and provide substantial employment locally for the entire life of the project. Approximately 250 full-time workers would during the operational phase of the project. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities would result in temporary and permanent loss of grazing access on extensive areas of public land. Major modifications to the landscape would have visual impacts, though these could be reduced to some degree. Mine blasting would increase noise and cause vibration for the life of the project. Long-term of groundwater levels and changes in groundwater gradients would occur within the project area, and a Dodge Phelps seep would be permanently lost. Numerous archaeological sites, including sites considered to be significant to local Indian tribes, would be destroyed.

Six lakes and seventeen river sites were surveyed to provide baseline limnological and hydrological information for the Special Area. Field crews measured streamflow, surveyed channel geometry, and collected water quality samples. Drainage basins and their physical characteristics were determined using Geographic Information System analysis. A hydrologic basin map was produced. Flood frequency relationships and bankfull discharge were estimated using computer models.

The goal of the geomorphic analysis is to provide an understanding of the fluvial geomorphology and to explain recent geomorphic change on the Gila River in Safford and Duncan Valleys. Methods used for the Geomorphic Analysis include geomorphic mapping, soil descriptions and laboratory analysis. Soil maps developed by Poulson and Youngs (1938) and Poulson and Stromberg (1950) for Safford Valley and Duncan Valley, respectively, provided critical information for developing the Geomorphic Map. In addition to soil surveys, 26 soil/stratigraphic descriptions of bank exposures provide detailed information about areas that are currently being eroded. Laboratory analysis includes both radiocarbon analysis and macrobotanical analysis. Radiocarbon analysis provides quantitative estimates for the age of alluvium, while macrobotanical analysis identifies the charcoal prior to radiocarbon analysis. In Safford and Duncan Valleys, geomorphic change along the Gila River in recent decades appears to be controlled by changes in human factors such as levees and diversion dams rather than changes in external factors such as runoff and sediment influx. This conclusion is based on several products developed for the Upper Gila River Fluvial Geomorphology Study as well as this analysis. Geomorphic mapping in these valleys indicates that the Gila River has migrated within the Pima Soil boundary for the last several hundred years and within the Geomorphic Limit for at least the last 1,000 years. Areas of lateral instability are indicated by the erosion of soils older than several hundred years mapped as part of the Geomorphic Limit or Pima Soil Boundary. Several reaches were discovered that had significant erosion of property that warranted a detailed discussion of the areas of property loss and factors that contributed to its erosion. These reaches include: Railroad Wash, the cutoff meander upstream of Duncan Bridge, Duncan Bridge, Whitefield Wash, Kaywood Wash, San Jose Diversion, San Jose Wash, Graham Diversion, Smithville Diversion, Watson and Butler Washes, Curtis Diversion, Fort Thomas Diversion, Fort Thomas Bridge, and Geronimo. Together, these reaches constitute 40% of the entire study reach. The Catalog of Historical Changes and the Geomorphic Map reveal the close correlation between levee construction and subsequent failure and geomorphic change during large floods along the Gila River in Arizona. As the Geomorphic Map was compiled, several factors causing instability emerged as common to multiple reaches. These factors include: (1) levee failure; (2) downstream propagation of erosion; (3) channel straightening; and (4) diversion dam orientation. Vegetation and alluvial fan development may also act in conjunction with these factors in some cases. The Catalog of Historical Changes, among other studies, shows that the majority of erosion occurs during floods. The local factors mentioned above appear to cause minimal geomorphic change during low to moderate flows but are the catalysts of substantial geomorphic change during the large floods of recent decades.

AN - 36349713; 10520-030543_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of existing gold mining operations at the Maribold Mine in Humboldt County, Nevada is proposed. The mine is located on public and private lands near Interstate 80 approximately 13 miles northwest of Battle Mountain and approximately 40 miles southeast of Winnemucca. Glamis Gold, Inc. and Rayrock Mines, Inc., doing business as Glamis Marigold Mining Company, has been operating the Marigold Mine since 1988. Historical mining in the vicinity of the project dates back to 1927. To date, approximately 1,831 acres of land have been disturbed or are authorized to be disturbed. Major issues identified during scoping include those related to water resources and geochemistry, air quality, vegetation, wildlife and fish habitat, special status species, rangelands, land use and access, aesthetics, and cultural resources, ethnography, and paleontology. Three alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, were considered in the final EIS of March 2001. The applicant's proposed action would involve expansion of two pits and development of two new pits; expansion of two waste rock dumps and development of two new waste rock dumps; addition of lifts to three existing heap leach cells and addition of one cell to an existing leach pad and development of a new heap leach facility; expansion of the tailings impoundment and construction of a new tailings impoundment; construction of haul roads, solution ponds, growth media stockpiles, exploration drill pads and access roads, and diversion channels; and realignment of a public access road (Buffalo Valley Road) and a transmission line. The second action alternative, known as the 8-South Pit Backfill Alternative and selected as the preferred alternative, would include the backfilling of the existing 8-South Pit with waste rock originating from the proposed 8-North Pit, eliminating the need to construct one waste rock dump. Both the proposed action and the 8-South Pit Backfill Alternative would extend mining operations at the site by an additional five years through the year 2006. Reclamation activities would be undertaken during mining operations and after operations had concluded. Approximately 656 acres of disturbed habitat would be reclaimed. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 3), are considered in this final supplement to the final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would include all components of the proposed action, but butressing and backfilling components would be altered. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Mine expansion would allow continued operation of the mine for an additional six years, extending mine life through 2013. The mine would provide a valuable resource used throughout the nation and employ local workers and otherwise contribute to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Expansion of the mine as proposed by the applicant would disturb 667 acres of private land and 807 acres of public land. Loss of upland habitat would not exceed 1,474 acres, and 1,204 acres would be reclaimed. Approximately 1,263 acres of mule deer habitat would be eliminated throughout the live of the project. Construction of a range perimeter fence would remove 1,586 acres of rangeland from livestock grazing, resulting in a temporary loss of 79 animal unit months (AUMs). Approximately 14 AUMs would be lost permanently. Nesting habitat for burrowing owl and winter habitat for sage grouse would be removed; both are federally protected special status species. Mining activities would occur in an area traditionally used for hunting and food gathering containing and trails traditionally used to travel to other areas. Formation of a pit lake would result in degradation of water quality and associated impacts on wildlife. Mine facilities would result in moderate visual contrasts with existing topographic forms and textures. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

AN - 36351990; 10514-030537_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a multiple-use management plan for the 8.8-million-acre Northwest National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A) is proposed. North Slope oil production, centered at the massive Prudhoe Bay field, is key to the nation's domestic oil supply. The North Slope contributes approximately 16 percent of America's current domestic production. The oil industry has discovered and developed other fields to the east and west of Prudhoe. However, production is in decline from these older fields, and there are indications that the NPR-A contains oil and natural gas that could help stem the decline. Major issues identified during scoping include: 1) the lands that should be designated for oil and gas leasing and development; 2) the measures that should be established to protect important surface resources for damage due to oil and gas exploration and development activities; and 3) the management of allocations for areas not considered for oil and gas leasing and development. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, all BLM-administered lands, including federally owned subsurface, within the Northwest NPR-A planning area would be made available for oil and gas leasing; however, leasing would be deferred for 10 years on approximately 1.57 million acres (17 percent) of the planning area in the vicinity of Wainwright. A 102,000-acre Kasegaluk Lagoon Special Area would be established on which no permanent surface occupancy would be allowed. Additional no-surface-occupancy stipulations would be imposed along coastal areas, key rivers, and deep-water lakes. In total, these restrictions would apply to 1.5 million acres. Special study areas would be identified for brant and caribou. Multi-year surveys would be required throughout the planning area to prevent the take of federally protected spectacled and Steller's eiders as well as of yellow-billed loons/ Restrictions would also apply within the Colville River Special Area to minimize loss of raptor foraging habitat. Other protective measures would include limitations on off-highway vehicle use and identification of visual resource management areas for special consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to bolstering production from Alaskan oil and gas reserves and, thereby reducing the nation's dependence on foreign sources of oil, lease development would boost the local and regional economy, providing employment, tax and royalty revenues, and income from expenditures for exploration and development activities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The most significant impacts would be associated with placement of gravel drilling pads, roads, airstrips, staging areas, and docks and the activities that take place on them, as well as the construction of oil and gas pipelines. These activities would permanently disturb or destroy vegetation, possibly including federally protected species; impound and disturb surface waters; disturb, displace, or kill fish and wildlife, possibly including federally protected species; possibly disturb or destroy paleontological, archaeological, and historic resources; possibly adversely affect subsistence activities by affecting target species and/or impeding user access; and degrade recreational values on affected lands.

AN - 36349034; 10514-030537_0004 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a multiple-use management plan for the 8.8-million-acre Northwest National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A) is proposed. North Slope oil production, centered at the massive Prudhoe Bay field, is key to the nation's domestic oil supply. The North Slope contributes approximately 16 percent of America's current domestic production. The oil industry has discovered and developed other fields to the east and west of Prudhoe. However, production is in decline from these older fields, and there are indications that the NPR-A contains oil and natural gas that could help stem the decline. Major issues identified during scoping include: 1) the lands that should be designated for oil and gas leasing and development; 2) the measures that should be established to protect important surface resources for damage due to oil and gas exploration and development activities; and 3) the management of allocations for areas not considered for oil and gas leasing and development. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, all BLM-administered lands, including federally owned subsurface, within the Northwest NPR-A planning area would be made available for oil and gas leasing; however, leasing would be deferred for 10 years on approximately 1.57 million acres (17 percent) of the planning area in the vicinity of Wainwright. A 102,000-acre Kasegaluk Lagoon Special Area would be established on which no permanent surface occupancy would be allowed. Additional no-surface-occupancy stipulations would be imposed along coastal areas, key rivers, and deep-water lakes. In total, these restrictions would apply to 1.5 million acres. Special study areas would be identified for brant and caribou. Multi-year surveys would be required throughout the planning area to prevent the take of federally protected spectacled and Steller's eiders as well as of yellow-billed loons/ Restrictions would also apply within the Colville River Special Area to minimize loss of raptor foraging habitat. Other protective measures would include limitations on off-highway vehicle use and identification of visual resource management areas for special consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to bolstering production from Alaskan oil and gas reserves and, thereby reducing the nation's dependence on foreign sources of oil, lease development would boost the local and regional economy, providing employment, tax and royalty revenues, and income from expenditures for exploration and development activities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The most significant impacts would be associated with placement of gravel drilling pads, roads, airstrips, staging areas, and docks and the activities that take place on them, as well as the construction of oil and gas pipelines. These activities would permanently disturb or destroy vegetation, possibly including federally protected species; impound and disturb surface waters; disturb, displace, or kill fish and wildlife, possibly including federally protected species; possibly disturb or destroy paleontological, archaeological, and historic resources; possibly adversely affect subsistence activities by affecting target species and/or impeding user access; and degrade recreational values on affected lands.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - LOWER DUCHESNE RIVER WETLANDS MITIGATION PROJECT, DUCHESNE AND UINTAH COUNTIES, UTAH. AN - 36355835; 10509-030532_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to mitigate impacts of the Strawberry Aqueduct and Collection System (SACS) on portions of the Strawberry Reservoir and the Duchesne River downstream of the Starvation Reservoir in Duchesne and Uintah counties, Utah is proposed. The SACS is a sophisticated aqueduct system that gathers water from the upper Duchesne River and various tributaries for transport to Strawberry Reservoir for storage and eventual use on the Wasatch Front. Flows diverted from the Duchesne River resulted in the loss of wetlands, riparian habitat, and wetland-associated wildlife along the river between Duchesne and Ouray. As a result, the Ute Indian Tribe lost certain benefits associated with the wetlands. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to potential economic impacts, acquisition of private land by the federal government, mosquito and weed control, wildlife benefits, and recognition of the SACS impacts on wetlands, with strong support for immediate completion of the mitigation obligation. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. All three action alternatives are composed of a combination of fee lands to be acquired by the federal government and Tribal Trust lands to be placed under a conservation easement. All lands within the project area would be managed by the Tribe in accordance with plans specified in the project operating agreement and management plans to be negotiated. All three alternatives would use a variety of restoration measures, including rewatering oxbows, connecting oxbows to form contiguous systems, enlarging oxbows, enhancing water quality in oxbows, filling drainage ditches to create large marsh complexes, replanting riparian areas with native trees and shrubs, removing non-native invasive species, and changing management of areas adjacent to wetlands to benefit wildlife. The proposed action would combine the mitigation obligations for the SACS with the Duchesne River Area Canal Rehabilitation Project (DRACR), resulting in a project area of 7,727 acres. The Pahcease and Topanotes alternatives would provide mitigation only for the SACS impacts resulting in a project area of 6,640 acres within the DRACR mitigation implemented separately. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In meeting the Bureau of Reclamation's responsibilities with respect to the Ute Tribe, the land acquisition and land and water management plan would enhance and protect valuable wetland resources and related fish and wildlife habitat. Reconnection of oxbows would restore natural flooding patterns to the riverine system. A number of upland habitat areas would not be converted to wetlands, but their value to wetland and riparian species would be enhanced by changes in management. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project activities would result in loss of some upland habitat for three to five years, affecting songbirds and upland raptors. Individual farmers and lessees would have to alter agricultural and livestock practices within the project area due to the restrictions on grazing and the reservation of 20 percent of crop yields for wildlife use. The conversion of fee lands to federal ownership would reduce the county tax base slightly. The plan would result in a new increase of 661 acres of potential mosquito-producing wetland and irrigated pasture habitats. Noise levels would exceed federal standards within 50 feet of project construction sites during project implementation. Cultural resource surveys for the impacted areas have not yet been completed.

AN - 36428377; 10494 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 1,200-megawatt (MW) natural-gas-fired electric power generating facility, to be located four miles east of Umatilla, Oregon are proposed. The project, to be known as the Wanapa Energy Center, would be constructed on approximately 47 acres of Tribal Trust Land managed by the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. The project participants would install highly efficient combustion turbine (CT) generators at the center. Each CT would exhaust through a heat recovery stem generator (HRSG) that could be fired by auxiliary duct burners (DBs). The HRSGs would generate steam to be used on-site in condensing steam turbines. Natural gas would e the sole fuel for the CTs and DBs. The CTs and DBs would employ combustion control technologies, such as dry low-nitrogen oxide combustion, as well as post-combustion controls, such as selective catalytic reduction and oxidation catalysts, in order to reduce air pollutant emissions. The center would incorporate two similar blocks of combined cycle. The nominal capacity of each block would be 600 MW. Each block would consist of two CTs, two HRSGs (each equipped with an exhaust stack), one steam turbine, and associated plant equipment. Phase I of the project would include one complete and operable block that would operate independently of the second phase. Phase II would be implemented when market demand was sufficient. Natural gas would be provided via a new lateral pipeline extending from the vicinity of Stanfield, Oregon, approximately 10 miles southeast of the plant site. A new 4.4-mile, 500-kilovolt electrical transmission line would be built by the Bonneville Power Administration from the proposed plant site to the existing McNary Substation on the Columbia River. A new water supply pipeline would be installed between the existing intake structure at the Port of Umatilla and the power plant site. Industrial water would be obtained under Columbia River water rights held by the city of Hermiston and the Port of Umatilla. Blowdown water from plant cooling towers would be transported by pipeline to the Cold Springs Reservoir east of Hermiston to supplement stored agricultural irrigation water. Construction activities are scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2004; the energy facility is scheduled to begin operation in the forth quarter of 2006. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Wanapa Energy Center would provide a reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally acceptable electric generation source to satisfy base and peak electricity demand within the region. The project would provide electrical power to the local and regional pool. The center would also provide a source of revenue to the Indian Reservation, thereby enhancing opportunities for future economic development on the Reservation and Tribal Trust Lands, offering the opportunity to develop an electrical distribution utility that would serve Tribal members; and providing a new source of funding for Tribal health, education, and social services. Construction activities would create 320 to 820 direct temporary jobs and 180 indirect jobs. Project operations would employ 30 permanent orkers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would disturb 47 acres of soils and vegetation at the plant site, nine acres within the access road rights-of-way (ROW), 120 acres within the natural gas supply/wastewater discharge pipeline ROW, and 101 acres within the electrical transmission line ROW. The majority of the disturbed land would be grassland-steppe, shrub-steppe, and irrigated cropland. Reclamation measures would return grassland and irrigated cropland to the ROWs by the growing season following the conclusion of construction activities. Recovery of shrub species would require an estimated 10 to 50 years. Cooling tower drift would deposit water droplets on vegetation within 0.25 mile of the plant. Water depletion for plant operations would slightly reduce habitat for fish species, including federally protected anadromous species, in the Columbia River. The project would displace habitat for bald eagle, ferruginous hawk, Swainson's hawk, American peregrine falcon, long-billed curlew, grasshopper sparrow, loggerhead shrike, and western burrowing owl, all of which are federally protected species. Construction activities would affect habitat of several other federally protected animal species. Operation emissions would include sulfur oxides, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and volatile organic compounds. Visual and other recreational uses in the vicinity of the site would suffer from the presence of the plant.

AN - 36384647; 10494-030515_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 1,200-megawatt (MW) natural-gas-fired electric power generating facility, to be located four miles east of Umatilla, Oregon are proposed. The project, to be known as the Wanapa Energy Center, would be constructed on approximately 47 acres of Tribal Trust Land managed by the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. The project participants would install highly efficient combustion turbine (CT) generators at the center. Each CT would exhaust through a heat recovery stem generator (HRSG) that could be fired by auxiliary duct burners (DBs). The HRSGs would generate steam to be used on-site in condensing steam turbines. Natural gas would e the sole fuel for the CTs and DBs. The CTs and DBs would employ combustion control technologies, such as dry low-nitrogen oxide combustion, as well as post-combustion controls, such as selective catalytic reduction and oxidation catalysts, in order to reduce air pollutant emissions. The center would incorporate two similar blocks of combined cycle. The nominal capacity of each block would be 600 MW. Each block would consist of two CTs, two HRSGs (each equipped with an exhaust stack), one steam turbine, and associated plant equipment. Phase I of the project would include one complete and operable block that would operate independently of the second phase. Phase II would be implemented when market demand was sufficient. Natural gas would be provided via a new lateral pipeline extending from the vicinity of Stanfield, Oregon, approximately 10 miles southeast of the plant site.

The district contains over 400 mineral deposits and prospects, including those located in the historic mining areas of Iditarod-Flat, Nyac, Crooked Creek-Donlin Creek, Candle Creek, Ganes Creek, Nixon Fork, Illinois Creek, and Red Devil. Due to the size of the study area, the district was divided into three parts: the northeastern, central, and southwestern. In 2003, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) began a multi-year mineral resource assessment of the Aniak Mining District by examining the northeastern part of the district. BLM geologists located, mapped, and/or sampled 100 of the 208 documented sites in this part of the study area. During the field season 351 rock, pan concentrate, stream sediment, soil, and placer samples were collected and analyzed. Sites containing elevated metal values include: gold, silver, copper, and zinc at Badnews; silver, copper, and zinc at Bowser; nickel and copper at Chip Loy; gold, silver, and zinc at Crash North; gold, silver, copper, and zinc at Dall; placer gold at Fourth of July Creek; gold at Independence Mine area; gold and lead at Kaatz Prospect; gold at Little Creek; placer gold at Mackie Creek; placer gold at Moore Creek; gold and copper at Nixon Fork (Mespelt Mill) tailings; platinum and palladium at Roberts PGM; gold at Telephone Hill (Tele) Prospect; gold and silver at Terra/Fish Creek area; and gold, silver, copper, and tin at Win.

AN - 36440272; 10480 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the reservoir area management plan for the use and operation of Lake Berryessa in Napa County, California is proposed. Currently, reserved use of preferred shoreline by the small segment of the population with trailer site permits excludes the vast majority of the general public, and day-use facilities and camping and picnic sites, which are in high demand, would remain poorly maintained and limited in number, would continue to be relegated to the less desirable areas of the lakeside resorts. Overnight use by trailer users has also given rise to human health and safety concerns due to inadequate sewage treatment facilities, which are costly to maintain as well. Numerous deteriorating buildings and other structures present serious fire hazards. Key issues addressed during scoping include those related to land use, geology, soils and topography, biological resource, cultural resources, traffic and circulation, noise, scenic resources, socioeconomics, public safety, hazardous materials, and soil contamination. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative B), the 1992 management plan would be amended to provide for a visitor services plan that would include removal of all long-term trailers from the existing seven lake resort areas, while providing for a variety of new facilities for day-use and short-term visitors. Short-term facilities would include picnic and camping areas, and lodging, food, and beverage service concessions, thereby increasing and improving recreational opportunities for day-use visitors. Lakeshore areas at the resorts would be restored to a more natural setting, and public access to those areas would be improved. Existing day-use areas would be maintained, and two vehicle pullouts would be upgraded to improve parking and trailhead access to the reservoir. Additional campsites, picnic areas, and recreational vehicle sites would be provided, along with the customary lodging, houseboat rentals, and food, retail, and marina services. A concessionaire would manage the Capell Cove launch ramp and the Camp Berryessa group campground under a fee-for-service use system. A shoreline trail system would be developed, and a no-impact boat-in camping program would be initiated. The existing special use permit for the Monticello Ski Club would be cancelled. A reservoir-wide classification system would be adopted to designate appropriate types of recreational uses and use levels for the lake and shore areas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to increasing access to the lake shore to a greater spectrum of the regional population, the amended plan would eliminate problems associated with inadequate sewage treatment and deteriorating buildings and other structures. Visual aesthetics along the shoreline would improve significantly due to the removal of overnight use facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Skiers and overnight shoreline recreationists, who have traditionally had reserved and largely exclusive access to the lake shore and other area facilities would no longer be permitted such unlimited access opportunities. Facilities construction activities would disturb vegetation and soils, including soils located on unstable slopes. Trail construction would displace wildlife habitat and increase disruptive human-wildlife contacts. LEGAL MANDATES: Public Law 96-375.

AN - 36434989; 10856 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a license for the construction and operation of an 800-kilowatt hydroelectric project on the Kahtaheena River (Falls Creek) near Gustavus in southeastern Alaska is proposed. The project area would lie within lands currently designated as wilderness in the Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve (GBNPP). These lands would be exchanged for commensurate lands owned by the applicant for the hydroelectric license, Gustavus Electric Company (GEC). The proposed Falls Creek Hydroelectric Project would consist of a diversion dam, powerhouse, and connecting penstock. The project would be operated as a run-of-river facility, where inflows would match outflows downstream of the project. The powerhouse would be constructed at river mile 0.45 just downstream of the Lower Falls. The 60-foot-high Lower Falls, located 0.5 river mile from the river's confluence with Ice Passage, is a permanent barrier to fish migration. The diversion would be located at RM 2.4. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to resident populations of the federally protected Dolly Varden, the aesthetic values of the Lower Falls, public access planning to maintain existing passive recreational activities, and protection of existing wilderness values within adjacent GBNPP areas. Construction activities would occur over a 24-month timeframe. Four project alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative, which combines elements of all other alternatives, would the land exchange would result in a GBNPP boundary adjustment that would reduce the amount of land in the park by 1,050 acres. To maintain approximately the same amount of designated wilderness, 1,050 acres of land in the GBNPP would be designated as wilderness. The GEC project boundary would encompass approximately 117 acres, including the powerhourse, the diversion dam and intake structures, and haulback site, and the transmission line, access road, and penstock corridors. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The additional generation capacity would help the applicant meet its commitment to 430 residential and commercial customers in a service area that extends to all portions of Gustavus. The applicant would be less reliant on the diesel generation units it currently uses, reducing the potential for power outages and reducing or eliminating the production of air pollutants related to the generation of electricity in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Stream habitat that would be affected by construction and operation of the project consists of a canyon reach with long- deep bedrock pools and pools formed by large woody debris. Above the canyon reach, an old-growth spruce/hemlock forest typical of southeastern Alaskan areas that escaped glacial disturbance during Neoglacial advances would be affected. Construction and operation of the project would result in disruption to the shortterm timing of bedload transport and a long-term reduction in the bedload transport during low-flow periods. Construction activities would also result in short-term increases in sedimentation where construction occurred proximate to water bodies. Flows in the bypassed reach of the river would decline significantly, including the Lower Falls, particularly during naturally occurring low winter flows. Winter low flows would be more frequent and persistent due to the presence of the project. Flow reductions would increase water temperatures downstream of the project during summer months. The project would result in the permanent diversion of two to 23 cubic feet per second of flow from the bypassed reach of the river. Diversion of flow would reduce the number of resident Dolly Varden char in the bypassed river reach over the long-term. Ground cover would be lost from several years to several decades on 23.5 acres of mature forest, 1.15 acres of wetlands, and 4.9 acres of other vegetated lands. Eight acres of vegetation would be permanently displaced.

AN - 36367660; 10481-030502_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a license for the construction and operation of an 800-kilowatt hydroelectric project on the Kahtaheena River (Falls Creek) near Gustavus in southeastern Alaska is proposed. The project area would lie within lands currently designated as wilderness in the Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve (GBNPP). These lands would be exchanged for commensurate lands owned by the applicant for the hydroelectric license, Gustavus Electric Company. The proposed Falls Creek Hydroelectric Project would consist of a diversion dam, powerhouse, and connecting penstock. The project would be operated as a run-of-river facility, where inflows would match outflows downstream of the project. The powerhouse would be constructed at river mile (RM) 0.45 just downstream of the Lower Falls. The 100-foot-high Lower Falls, located 0.5 river mile from the river's confluence with Ice Passage, is a permanent barrier to fish migration. The diversion would be located at RM 2.4. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to resident populations of the federally protected Dolly Varden, the aesthetic values of the Lower Falls, public access planning to maintain existing passive recreational activities, and protection of existing wilderness values within adjacent GBNPP areas. Construction activities would occur over a 24-month timeframe. Four project alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The additional generation capacity would help the applicant meet its commitment to 430 residential and commercial customers in a service area that extends to all portions of Gustavus. The applicant would be less reliant on the diesel generation units it currently uses, reducing the potential for power outages and reducing or eliminating the production of air pollutants related to the generation of electricity in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Stream habitat that would be affected by construction and operation of the project consists of a canyon reach with long- deep bedrock pools and pools formed by large woody debris. Above the canyon reach, an old-growth spruce/hemlock forest typical of southeastern Alaskan areas that escaped glacial disturbance during Neoglacial advances would be affected. Construction and operation of the project would result in disruption to the short-term timing of bedload transport and a long-term reduction in the bedload transport during low-flow periods. Construction activities would also result in short-term increases in sedimentation where construction occurred proximate to water bodies. Flows in the bypassed reach of the river would decline significantly, including the Lower Falls, particularly during naturally occurring low winter flows. Winter low flows would be more frequent and persistent due to the presence of the project. Flow reductions would increase water temperatures downstream of the project during summer months. The project would result in the permanent diversion of two to 23 cubic feet per second of flow from the bypassed reach of the river. Diversion of flow would reduce the number of resident Dolly Varden char in the bypassed river reach over the long-term. Ground cover would be lost from several years to several decades on 23.5 acres of mature forest, 1.15 acres of wetlands, and 4.9 acres of other vegetated lands. Eight acres of vegetation would be permanently displaced.

Preparation date: October 29, 2003 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. [Part 90 of 98] T2 - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. AN - 36356064; 10479-030500_0090 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a magnetic levitation (Maglev) railway between Union Station in the District of Columbia and Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland are proposed. The project would be a key element of the fourth phase of a five-phase project development and selection process under the Magnet Levitation Transportation Technology Deployment Program, referred to as the Maglev Deployment Program (MDP). While most trains in the United States run on wheels and tracks and seldom sustain speeds of 80 miles per hour (mph) or more, a Maglev train is operated by non-contact electromagnetic systems that lift, guide, and propel the vehicle forward on a special guideway at speeds up to 310 mph. Two alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The build alternative, known as the Amtrak Parallel Alternative, would leave Union Station on an alignment west of and parallel to the Amtrak railroad towards Cheverly and continue in a northeasterly path through open areas along the Patuxent Research Refuge and Fort George Meade. Just north of Fort Meade along the railroad tracks, south of the Odenton MARC train station, the Maglev would cross over the Amtrak railroad, continuing parallel to Amtrak on the east side to a point east of Aviation Boulevard, where it would enter a tunnel beneath Baltimore- Washington International (BWI) Airport. Two alternative alignments are available for the tunnel approaching the two potential BWI station locations from the south and two alternatives are available for the section that would extend from the potential station locations to the median of Maryland Route (MD) 295. The alignment would then proceed up the highway median to a crossing of the northbound lanes in the Baltimore Highlands are of Baltimore County. Paralleling MD 295, the alignment would swing slightly further to the east of the Westport area of Baltimore City before entering a tunnel in the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River and approaching the Downtown Baltimore Station. The Maglev system would require an extensive infrastructure to service the projected ridership. The infrastructure would include 40 miles of guideway, 12 bridges, three twin tunnels, three passenger stations, three electrical substations, a maintenance facility, and six track switches. Cost of construction of the system is estimated at $3.74 billion. Annual operation and maintenance costs are estimated at $53 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to demonstrating the effectiveness and efficiency of Maglev technology, the proposed action would help to meet transportation, economic, and environmental goals in the Baltimore-Washington corridor. Congestion within the corridor and in parallel corridors would decline somewhat, and the need for additional highway construction would be reduced. Air pollutant levels and consumption of automobile fuels would decline significantly. The project would support the BWI Airport as a key economic engine within the state of Maryland. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development requirements would affect 498.6 to 509.1 acres of watershed land, 10.5 acres of wetlands and waters of the US, 6.84 acres of wetlands of special state concern, 259 acres forest and woodland, habitat for nine sensitive species, 5.1 to 31.7 acres of floodplain, and 326 to 331 residences and businesses. Critical coastal zone areas would be traversed in three locations. Historically and archaeologically significant sites would be affected, and Maglev structures would mar visual aesthetics along the corridor. Four park properties, encompassing 24.77 acres, would be displaced. Noise levels that would exceed federal standards would be contained via noise barriers. Real estate acquisitions would result in disproportionate impacts to minorities and low-income populations in two out of the five jurisdictions affected, Vibration impacts would affect such populations throughout the corridor.

[Part 2 of 2] T2 - FUTURE USE AND OPERATIONS OF LAKE BERRYESSA, NAPA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36355217; 10480-030501_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the reservoir area management plan for the use and operation of Lake Berryessa in Napa County, California is proposed. Currently, reserved use of preferred shoreline by the small segment of the population with trailer site permits excludes the vast majority of the general public, and day-use facilities and camping and picnic sites, which are in high demand, would remain poorly maintained and limited in number, would continue to be relegated to the less desirable areas of the lakeside resorts. Overnight use by trailer users has also given rise to human health and safety concerns due to inadequate sewage treatment facilities, which are costly to maintain as well. Numerous deteriorating buildings and other structures present serious fire hazards. Key issues addressed during scoping include those related to land use, geology, soils and topography, biological resource, cultural resources, traffic and circulation, noise, scenic resources, socioeconomics, public safety, hazardous materials, and soil contamination. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative B), the 1992 management plan would be amended to provide for a visitor services plan that would include removal of all long-term trailers from the existing seven lake resort areas, while providing for a variety of new facilities for day-use and short-term visitors. Short-term facilities would include picnic and camping areas, and lodging, food, and beverage service concessions, thereby increasing and improving recreational opportunities for day-use visitors. Lakeshore areas at the resorts would be restored to a more natural setting, and public access to those areas would be improved. Existing day-use areas would be maintained, and two vehicle pullouts would be upgraded to improve parking and trailhead access to the reservoir. Additional campsites, picnic areas, and recreational vehicle sites would be provided, along with the customary lodging, houseboat rentals, and food, retail, and marina services. A concessionaire would manage the Capell Cove launch ramp and the Camp Berryessa group campground under a fee-for-service use system. A shoreline trail system would be developed, and a no-impact boat-in camping program would be initiated. The existing special use permit for the Monticello Ski Club would be cancelled. A reservoir-wide classification system would be adopted to designate appropriate types of recreational uses and use levels for the lake and shore areas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to increasing access to the lake shore to a greater spectrum of the regional population, the amended plan would eliminate problems associated with inadequate sewage treatment and deteriorating buildings and other structures. Visual aesthetics along the shoreline would improve significantly due to the removal of overnight use facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Skiers and overnight shoreline recreationists, who have traditionally had reserved and largely exclusive access to the lake shore and other area facilities would no longer be permitted such unlimited access opportunities. Facilities construction activities would disturb vegetation and soils, including soils located on unstable slopes. Trail construction would displace wildlife habitat and increase disruptive human-wildlife contacts. LEGAL MANDATES: Public Law 96-375.

[Part 88 of 98] T2 - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. AN - 36355117; 10479-030500_0088 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a magnetic levitation (Maglev) railway between Union Station in the District of Columbia and Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland are proposed. The project would be a key element of the fourth phase of a five-phase project development and selection process under the Magnet Levitation Transportation Technology Deployment Program, referred to as the Maglev Deployment Program (MDP). While most trains in the United States run on wheels and tracks and seldom sustain speeds of 80 miles per hour (mph) or more, a Maglev train is operated by non-contact electromagnetic systems that lift, guide, and propel the vehicle forward on a special guideway at speeds up to 310 mph. Two alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The build alternative, known as the Amtrak Parallel Alternative, would leave Union Station on an alignment west of and parallel to the Amtrak railroad towards Cheverly and continue in a northeasterly path through open areas along the Patuxent Research Refuge and Fort George Meade. Just north of Fort Meade along the railroad tracks, south of the Odenton MARC train station, the Maglev would cross over the Amtrak railroad, continuing parallel to Amtrak on the east side to a point east of Aviation Boulevard, where it would enter a tunnel beneath Baltimore- Washington International (BWI) Airport. Two alternative alignments are available for the tunnel approaching the two potential BWI station locations from the south and two alternatives are available for the section that would extend from the potential station locations to the median of Maryland Route (MD) 295. The alignment would then proceed up the highway median to a crossing of the northbound lanes in the Baltimore Highlands are of Baltimore County. Paralleling MD 295, the alignment would swing slightly further to the east of the Westport area of Baltimore City before entering a tunnel in the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River and approaching the Downtown Baltimore Station. The Maglev system would require an extensive infrastructure to service the projected ridership. The infrastructure would include 40 miles of guideway, 12 bridges, three twin tunnels, three passenger stations, three electrical substations, a maintenance facility, and six track switches. Cost of construction of the system is estimated at $3.74 billion. Annual operation and maintenance costs are estimated at $53 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to demonstrating the effectiveness and efficiency of Maglev technology, the proposed action would help to meet transportation, economic, and environmental goals in the Baltimore-Washington corridor. Congestion within the corridor and in parallel corridors would decline somewhat, and the need for additional highway construction would be reduced. Air pollutant levels and consumption of automobile fuels would decline significantly. The project would support the BWI Airport as a key economic engine within the state of Maryland. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development requirements would affect 498.6 to 509.1 acres of watershed land, 10.5 acres of wetlands and waters of the US, 6.84 acres of wetlands of special state concern, 259 acres forest and woodland, habitat for nine sensitive species, 5.1 to 31.7 acres of floodplain, and 326 to 331 residences and businesses. Critical coastal zone areas would be traversed in three locations. Historically and archaeologically significant sites would be affected, and Maglev structures would mar visual aesthetics along the corridor. Four park properties, encompassing 24.77 acres, would be displaced. Noise levels that would exceed federal standards would be contained via noise barriers. Real estate acquisitions would result in disproportionate impacts to minorities and low-income populations in two out of the five jurisdictions affected, Vibration impacts would affect such populations throughout the corridor.

Critical coastal zone areas would be traversed in three locations. Historically and archaeologically significant sites would be affected, and Maglev structures would mar visual aesthetics along the corridor. Four park properties, encompassing 24.77 acres, would be displaced. Noise levels that would exceed federal standards would be contained via noise barriers. Real estate acquisitions would result in disproportionate impacts to minorities and low-income populations in two out of the five jurisdictions affected, Vibration impacts would affect such populations throughout the corridor.

[Part 13 of 98] T2 - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. AN - 36354623; 10479-030500_0013 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a magnetic levitation (Maglev) railway between Union Station in the District of Columbia and Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland are proposed. The project would be a key element of the fourth phase of a five-phase project development and selection process under the Magnet Levitation Transportation Technology Deployment Program, referred to as the Maglev Deployment Program (MDP). While most trains in the United States run on wheels and tracks and seldom sustain speeds of 80 miles per hour (mph) or more, a Maglev train is operated by non-contact electromagnetic systems that lift, guide, and propel the vehicle forward on a special guideway at speeds up to 310 mph. Two alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The build alternative, known as the Amtrak Parallel Alternative, would leave Union Station on an alignment west of and parallel to the Amtrak railroad towards Cheverly and continue in a northeasterly path through open areas along the Patuxent Research Refuge and Fort George Meade. Just north of Fort Meade along the railroad tracks, south of the Odenton MARC train station, the Maglev would cross over the Amtrak railroad, continuing parallel to Amtrak on the east side to a point east of Aviation Boulevard, where it would enter a tunnel beneath Baltimore- Washington International (BWI) Airport. Two alternative alignments are available for the tunnel approaching the two potential BWI station locations from the south and two alternatives are available for the section that would extend from the potential station locations to the median of Maryland Route (MD) 295. The alignment would then proceed up the highway median to a crossing of the northbound lanes in the Baltimore Highlands are of Baltimore County. Paralleling MD 295, the alignment would swing slightly further to the east of the Westport area of Baltimore City before entering a tunnel in the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River and approaching the Downtown Baltimore Station. The Maglev system would require an extensive infrastructure to service the projected ridership. The infrastructure would include 40 miles of guideway, 12 bridges, three twin tunnels, three passenger stations, three electrical substations, a maintenance facility, and six track switches. Cost of construction of the system is estimated at $3.74 billion. Annual operation and maintenance costs are estimated at $53 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to demonstrating the effectiveness and efficiency of Maglev technology, the proposed action would help to meet transportation, economic, and environmental goals in the Baltimore-Washington corridor. Congestion within the corridor and in parallel corridors would decline somewhat, and the need for additional highway construction would be reduced. Air pollutant levels and consumption of automobile fuels would decline significantly. The project would support the BWI Airport as a key economic engine within the state of Maryland. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development requirements would affect 498.6 to 509.1 acres of watershed land, 10.5 acres of wetlands and waters of the US, 6.84 acres of wetlands of special state concern, 259 acres forest and woodland, habitat for nine sensitive species, 5.1 to 31.7 acres of floodplain, and 326 to 331 residences and businesses.

Preparation date: October 29, 2003 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GLACIER BAY NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERVE, FALLS CREEK HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT (FERC NO. 11659-002) AND LAND EXCHANGE, KAHTAHEENA RIVER (FALLS CREEK NEAR GUSTAVUS) IN SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA. [Part 1 of 1] T2 - GLACIER BAY NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERVE, FALLS CREEK HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT (FERC NO. 11659-002) AND LAND EXCHANGE, KAHTAHEENA RIVER (FALLS CREEK NEAR GUSTAVUS) IN SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA. AN - 36354192; 10856-040305_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a license for the construction and operation of an 800-kilowatt hydroelectric project on the Kahtaheena River (Falls Creek) near Gustavus in southeastern Alaska is proposed. The project area would lie within lands currently designated as wilderness in the Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve (GBNPP). These lands would be exchanged for commensurate lands owned by the applicant for the hydroelectric license, Gustavus Electric Company (GEC). The proposed Falls Creek Hydroelectric Project would consist of a diversion dam, powerhouse, and connecting penstock. The project would be operated as a run-of-river facility, where inflows would match outflows downstream of the project. The powerhouse would be constructed at river mile 0.45 just downstream of the Lower Falls. The 60-foot-high Lower Falls, located 0.5 river mile from the river's confluence with Ice Passage, is a permanent barrier to fish migration. The diversion would be located at RM 2.4. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to resident populations of the federally protected Dolly Varden, the aesthetic values of the Lower Falls, public access planning to maintain existing passive recreational activities, and protection of existing wilderness values within adjacent GBNPP areas. Construction activities would occur over a 24-month timeframe. Four project alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative, which combines elements of all other alternatives, would the land exchange would result in a GBNPP boundary adjustment that would reduce the amount of land in the park by 1,050 acres. To maintain approximately the same amount of designated wilderness, 1,050 acres of land in the GBNPP would be designated as wilderness. The GEC project boundary would encompass approximately 117 acres, including the powerhourse, the diversion dam and intake structures, and haulback site, and the transmission line, access road, and penstock corridors. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The additional generation capacity would help the applicant meet its commitment to 430 residential and commercial customers in a service area that extends to all portions of Gustavus. The applicant would be less reliant on the diesel generation units it currently uses, reducing the potential for power outages and reducing or eliminating the production of air pollutants related to the generation of electricity in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Stream habitat that would be affected by construction and operation of the project consists of a canyon reach with long- deep bedrock pools and pools formed by large woody debris. Above the canyon reach, an old-growth spruce/hemlock forest typical of southeastern Alaskan areas that escaped glacial disturbance during Neoglacial advances would be affected. Construction and operation of the project would result in disruption to the shortterm timing of bedload transport and a long-term reduction in the bedload transport during low-flow periods. Construction activities would also result in short-term increases in sedimentation where construction occurred proximate to water bodies. Flows in the bypassed reach of the river would decline significantly, including the Lower Falls, particularly during naturally occurring low winter flows. Winter low flows would be more frequent and persistent due to the presence of the project. Flow reductions would increase water temperatures downstream of the project during summer months. The project would result in the permanent diversion of two to 23 cubic feet per second of flow from the bypassed reach of the river. Diversion of flow would reduce the number of resident Dolly Varden char in the bypassed river reach over the long-term. Ground cover would be lost from several years to several decades on 23.5 acres of mature forest, 1.15 acres of wetlands, and 4.9 acres of other vegetated lands. Eight acres of vegetation would be permanently displaced.

[Part 30 of 98] T2 - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. AN - 36354025; 10479-030500_0030 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a magnetic levitation (Maglev) railway between Union Station in the District of Columbia and Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland are proposed. The project would be a key element of the fourth phase of a five-phase project development and selection process under the Magnet Levitation Transportation Technology Deployment Program, referred to as the Maglev Deployment Program (MDP). While most trains in the United States run on wheels and tracks and seldom sustain speeds of 80 miles per hour (mph) or more, a Maglev train is operated by non-contact electromagnetic systems that lift, guide, and propel the vehicle forward on a special guideway at speeds up to 310 mph. Two alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The build alternative, known as the Amtrak Parallel Alternative, would leave Union Station on an alignment west of and parallel to the Amtrak railroad towards Cheverly and continue in a northeasterly path through open areas along the Patuxent Research Refuge and Fort George Meade. Just north of Fort Meade along the railroad tracks, south of the Odenton MARC train station, the Maglev would cross over the Amtrak railroad, continuing parallel to Amtrak on the east side to a point east of Aviation Boulevard, where it would enter a tunnel beneath Baltimore- Washington International (BWI) Airport. Two alternative alignments are available for the tunnel approaching the two potential BWI station locations from the south and two alternatives are available for the section that would extend from the potential station locations to the median of Maryland Route (MD) 295. The alignment would then proceed up the highway median to a crossing of the northbound lanes in the Baltimore Highlands are of Baltimore County. Paralleling MD 295, the alignment would swing slightly further to the east of the Westport area of Baltimore City before entering a tunnel in the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River and approaching the Downtown Baltimore Station. The Maglev system would require an extensive infrastructure to service the projected ridership. The infrastructure would include 40 miles of guideway, 12 bridges, three twin tunnels, three passenger stations, three electrical substations, a maintenance facility, and six track switches. Cost of construction of the system is estimated at $3.74 billion. Annual operation and maintenance costs are estimated at $53 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to demonstrating the effectiveness and efficiency of Maglev technology, the proposed action would help to meet transportation, economic, and environmental goals in the Baltimore-Washington corridor. Congestion within the corridor and in parallel corridors would decline somewhat, and the need for additional highway construction would be reduced. Air pollutant levels and consumption of automobile fuels would decline significantly. The project would support the BWI Airport as a key economic engine within the state of Maryland. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development requirements would affect 498.6 to 509.1 acres of watershed land, 10.5 acres of wetlands and waters of the US, 6.84 acres of wetlands of special state concern, 259 acres forest and woodland, habitat for nine sensitive species, 5.1 to 31.7 acres of floodplain, and 326 to 331 residences and businesses. Critical coastal zone areas would be traversed in three locations. Historically and archaeologically significant sites would be affected, and Maglev structures would mar visual aesthetics along the corridor. Four park properties, encompassing 24.77 acres, would be displaced. Noise levels that would exceed federal standards would be contained via noise barriers. Real estate acquisitions would result in disproportionate impacts to minorities and low-income populations in two out of the five jurisdictions affected, Vibration impacts would affect such populations throughout the corridor.
