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. LEGAL MANDATES: National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (49 U.S.C. 303).

T1  - YATES PETROLEUM FEDERAL NO. 1 WELL, DOUGLAS RANGER DISTRICT, MEDICINE BOW-ROUTT NATIONAL FORESTS AND THUNDER BASIN GRASSLAND, CAMPBEL COUNTY, WYOMING.
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. LEGAL MANDATES: Bankhead Jones Farm Tenant Act, Federal Onshore Oil and Gas Leasing Reform Act of 1987 (26 CFR 228, 1990), and National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

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.

T1  - Geophysical Terranes of the Great Basin and Parts Surrounding Provinces
AN  - 21186074; 7292707
AB  - This study of geophysical terranes within and surrounding the Great Basin of the western United States integrates geophysical and geologic data to provide new insights on basement composition and structure at local, intermediate, and regional scales. 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.

T1  - Evaluation of Methods Used for Estimating Selected Streamflow Statistics, and Flood Frequency and Magnitude, for Small Basins in North Coastal California
AN  - 20990975; 7293249
AB  - The purpose of this report is to present a characterization of the accuracy and bias of streamflow statistics resulting from application of estimation techniques commonly employed by the SWRCB. 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.

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.

T1  - Trends in Streamflow and Comparisons with Instream Flows in the Lower Puyallup River Basin, Washington
AN  - 20977921; 7293227
AB  - The Puyallup Tribe of Indians is interested in better understanding the water resources of the lower Puyallup River Basin in order to ensure sufficient water to meet Tribal and hatchery needs and make future water-resource decisions. 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.

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.

T1  - Recharge Processes in an Alluvial Aquifer Riparian Zone, Norman Landfill, Norman, Oklahoma, 1998-2000
AN  - 20837206; 7293334
AB  - The purpose of this report is to provide a comparison of several different methods for determining recharge, including water-level fluctuations and isotope tracer methods. 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.

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.

T1  - Evaluation of Borehole Geophysical Logs at the Sharon Steel Farrell Works Superfund Site, Mercer County, Pennsylvania
AN  - 20720820; 7293721
AB  - This report describes borehole geophysical logs collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in five boreholes at the Sharon Steel Farrell Works Superfund Site during April 14-15, 2003. 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.

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.

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.

T1  - Water Quality and Biological Conditions in the Lower Boise River, Ada and Canyon Counties, Idaho, 1994-2002
AN  - 20719624; 7293236
AB  - The water quality and biotic integrity of the lower Boise River between Lucky Peak Dam and the river's mouth near Parma, Idaho, have been affected by agricultural land and water use, wastewater treatment facility discharge, urbanization, reservoir operations, and river channel alteration. 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.

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.

T1  - Water Budget for Lake Auburn, Maine, May 1, 2000 through April 30, 2003
AN  - 20587171; 7293212
AB  - The Maine Drinking Water Program began a Source Water Assessment Program in 1998 to evaluate all public water supplies to determine the potential for future contamination of drinking- water sources and avenues to protect those sources. 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.

T1  - Hydrologic and Geochemical Controls on Pesticide and Nutrient Transport to Two Streams on the Delmarva Peninsula
AN  - 20391786; 7293526
AB  - Pesticides and nutrients move from application areas through ground water and surface runoff to streams on the Delmarva Peninsula. 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.

T1  - Predicting Water Quality by Relating Secchi-Disk Transparency and Chlorophyll a Measurements to Satellite Imagery for Michigan Island Lakes, August 2002
AN  - 20391708; 7293266
AB  - The purpose of this report is to describe the methods and techniques used to develop estimates of Michigan lake-water quality on the basis of satellite images. Specifically, this report presents a brief overview of the conceptual basis for predicting trophic state on the basis of satellite images, describes methods used to develop a new alternative regression model for predicting secchi-disk transparency, and offers a new regression equation for predicting chlorophyll a concentrations in northern Lower Michigan. These two measures can further be used to estimate the trophic state of Michigan inland lakes.

T1  - Methods to Identify Changes in Background Water-Quality Conditions Using Dissolved-Solids Concentrations and Loads as Indicators, Arkansas River and Fountain Creek, in the Vicinity of Pueblo, Colorado
AN  - 20391659; 7293222
AB  - This report presents the results of a study to develop methods to identify changes in background water-quality conditions using dissolved-solids concentrations and loads as indicators at selected sites in the Arkansas River and Fountain Creek in the vicinity of Pueblo, Colorado. Specifically, this report designates background conditions at selected sites in the study area with respect to estimated daily dissolved-solids concentration and load, establishes the use of tolerance limits to identify statistically significant future daily departures from a background condition, and presents other analysis techniques to help identify long-term changes in dissolved-solids load along selected reaches of the study area. Additionally, this report provides information that can be used by various waterresources agencies for an internet-based decision-support tool that can be used on a real-time basis to monitor dissolved-solids concentration and load as a surrogate for water-quality conditions in the study reaches and determine whether future waterquality conditions are significantly different from background conditions.

T1  - Distribution and Mass of Nitrate in the Unconfined Aquifer Beneath the Intensively Cultivated Area North of the Rio Grande, San Luis Valley, Colorado, 1997 through 2001
AN  - 20390963; 7293520
AB  - Current (1997-2001) and historical (1948-49, 1968-69) nitrate- concentration and water-level data collected from wells completed in the unconfined aquifer in the intensively cultivated area north of the Rio Grande in south-central Colorado were used to determine the distribution and mass of nitrate and to determine short- and long-term trends in the concentration and mass of nitrate in the unconfined aquifer. 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.

T1  - Streamflow and Water-Quality Characteristics for Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota, 2002-03
AN  - 20390893; 7293283
AB  - A 2-year study of streamflow and water-quality characteristics in Wind Cave National Park was performed by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the National Park Service. During this study, streamflow and water-quality data were collected for three of the parks perennial streams (Cold Spring, Beaver, and Highland Creeks) from January 2002 through November 2003. The potential influence of parking lot runoff on cave drip within Wind Cave also was investigated by collecting and analyzing several time- dependent samples from a drainage culvert downstream from the parking lot and from Upper Minnehaha Falls inside the cave following a series of simulated runoff events. The primary focus of the report is on data collected during the 2-year study from January 2002 to November 2003; however, data collected previously also are summarized.

T1  - Tannins and Terpenoids as Major Precursors of Suwannee River Fulvic Acid
AN  - 20390857; 7293513
AB  - Suwannee River fulvic acid (SRFA) was fractionated into 7 fractions by normal-phase chromatography on silica gel followed by reverse-phase fractionation on XAD-8 resin that produced 18 subfractions. 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.

T1  - Water-Quality Assessment of Lakes Maumelle and Winona, Arkansas, 1991 Through 2003
AN  - 20390670; 7293547
AB  - The purpose of this report is to describe the hydrology and water quality of Lakes Maumelle and Winona and their inflows from calendar years 1991 through 2003. 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.

T1  - Mercury in the Walker River Basin, Nevada and California: Sources, Distribution, and Potential Effects on the Ecosystem
AN  - 20390657; 7293536
AB  - Mercury is one of the most serious contaminants of water, sediment, and biota in Nevada because of its use during 19th century mining activities to recover gold and silver from ores. 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.

T1  - Assessing the Susceptibility to Contamination of Two Aquifer Systems Used for Public Water Supply in the Modesto and Fresno Metropolitan Areas, California, 2001 and 2002
AN  - 20390471; 7293268
AB  - Ground-water samples were collected from 90 active public supply wells in the Fresno and Modesto metropolitan areas as part of the California Aquifer Susceptibility (CAS) program. 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.

T1  - Vertical Distribution of Trace-Element Concentrations and Occurrence of Metallurgical Slag Particles in Accumulated Bed Sediments of Lake Roosevelt, Washington, September 2002
AN  - 20389972; 7293748
AB  - Sediment cores were collected from six locations in Lake Roosevelt to determine the vertical distributions of trace-element concentrations in the accumulated sediments of Lake Roosevelt. 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.

T1  - Evaluation of Volatile Organic Compounds in Two Mojave Desert Basins, Mojave River and Antelope Valley in San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Kern Counties, California, June-October 2002
AN  - 20389940; 7293717
AB  - The California Aquifer Susceptibility Assessment of the Ground- Water Ambient Monitoring and Assessment Program was developed to assess water quality and susceptibility of ground-water resources to contamination from surficial sources. 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.

T1  - External Quality-Assurance Results for the National Atmospheric Deposition Program/National Trends Network, 2000-2001
AN  - 20389903; 7293252
AB  - This report describes the results of the external QA programs operated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in support of the NADP/NTN during 2000-2001 (study period). These programs are designed to (1) assess the variability and bias of onsite determinations of pH and specific conductance (intersite- comparison program); (2) evaluate potential contamination due to handling, processing, and shipping of samples collected within the NADP/NTN (blind-audit program); (3) evaluate potential contamination introduced from field exposure of the samples (field- audit program); (4) estimate the variability and bias of analytical results determined by separate laboratories routinely measuring wet deposition (interlaboratory-comparison program); (5) facilitate integration of data from various monitoring networks; and (6) estimate the overall variability of the monitoring network, from the point of sample collection through laboratory data quality control (collocated-sampler program).

T1  - Analysis of Phosphorus Trends and Evaluation of Sampling Designs in the Quinebaug River Basin, Connecticut
AN  - 20389863; 7293230
AB  - This report presents the results of an analysis of phosphorus trends and an evaluation of sampling designs based on data from two water-quality-monitoring stations on the Quinebaug River in Connecticut. 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.

T1  - Chemical Data for Detailed Studies of Irrigation Drainage in the Salton Sea Area, California, 1995-2001
AN  - 20389670; 7293271
AB  - The primary purpose of this report is to present all chemical data from the Salton Sea area collected by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1995 and 2001. The data were collected primarily for the Department of the Interior's National Irrigation Water Quality Program (NIWQP). The report also contains a brief summary and citation to investigations done for the NIWQP between 1992 and 1995. The NIWQP began studies in the Salton Sea area in 1986 to evaluate effects on the environment from potential toxins, especially selenium, in irrigation-induced drainage. This data report is a companion to several reports published from the earlier studies and to interpretive publications that make use of historical and recent data from this area.

T1  - Ionic Composition and Nitrate in Drainage Water from Fields Fertilized with Different Nitrogen Sources, Middle Swamp Watershed, North Carolina, August 2000-August 2001
AN  - 20389636; 7293267
AB  - A study was conducted from August 2000 to August 2001 to characterize the influence of fertilizer use from different nitrogen sources on the quality of drainage water from 11 subsurface tile drains and 7 surface field ditches in a North Carolina Coastal Plain watershed. 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.

T1  - Constituent Loads and Flow-Weighted Average Concentrations for Major Subbasins of the Upper Red River of the North Basin, 1997-99
AN  - 20389333; 7293743
AB  - The purpose of this report is to describe the water-quality characteristics of the upper Red River and to present estimated constituent loads and flow-weighted average (FWA) concentrations for the major subbasins of the upper Red River Basin. 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.

T1  - Occurrence, Distribution and Transport of Pesticides, Trace Elements and Selected Inorganic Constituents into the Salton Sea Basin, California, 2001-2002
AN  - 20389308; 7293287
AB  - A study of pesticide distribution and transport within the Salton Sea Basin, California, was conducted from September 2001 to October 2002. 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.

T1  - Development of a Benthic-Flux Chamber of Measurement of Ground- Water Seepage and Water Sampling for Mercury Analysis at the Sediment-Water Interface
AN  - 20389304; 7293724
AB  - A benthic-flux chamber was constructed to collect data to determine the relation between ground- and surface-water interaction and mercury concentrations in water at the sediment- water interface. 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.

T1  - Chloroform in the Hydrologic System: Sources, Transport, Fate, Occurrence, and Effects on Human Health and Aquatic Organisms
AN  - 20389278; 7293340
AB  - Information on chloroform in the hydrologic system was compiled by the VOC National Synthesis team of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) NAWQA Program. A major component of the NAWQA Program, the National Synthesis Investigations use NAWQA and other water-quality data to examine and describe the sources, transport, distribution, and fate of specific contaminant groups on a national scale. This report provides a summary of current knowledge regarding the uses, nonpoint sources, formation, transport and fate of chloroform in the hydrologic system; its occurrence in ground water, surface water, and drinking water; and its effects on human-health and aquatic organisms. As such, it is intended to provide a current (2004) information resource for the managers of water systems where elevated chloroform concentrations may be a source of concern. This summary includes data collected by the NAWQA program from 1991 to 2002.

T1  - Water Quality, Biological, and Physical Habitat Conditions at Fixed Sites in the Cook Inlet Basin, Alaska, National Water Quality Assessment Study Unit, October 1998-September 2001
AN  - 20389248; 7293281
AB  - The Cook Inlet Basin study unit of the U.S. Geological Survey National Water-Quality Assessment Program comprises 39,325 square miles in south-central Alaska. 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.

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.

AN  - 20388474; 7293353
AB  - This report presents interpretations of historical precipitation data and precipitation data collected during 2001- 03, estimated ground-water age data collected during 2003, nitrate concentration changes from 1995-98 to 2002, and ground-water-level changes from 2002 to 2003. Precipitation data collected at three sites by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) were summarized and additional precipitation data were collected during 2001-03 at seven sites established by the USGS. Ground-water ages were estimated by analysis of chlorofluorocarbon concentrations in samples collected from nine wells and one spring during 2002-03. Nitrate concentrations in samples collected from 24 wells during 2001-02 were compared with concentrations in samples collected from the same wells during 1995-98. Ground-water levels measured in 18 wells during the summer of 2003 were compared to levels measured in the same wells during the summer of 2002.

T1  - Distribution of Methyl 'Tert'-Butyl Ether (MTBE) and Selected Water-Quality Constituents in the Surficial Aquifer at the Dover National Test Site, Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, 2001
AN  - 20387489; 7293531
AB  - A joint study by the Dover National Test Site, Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, and the U.S. Geological Survey was conducted from June 27 through July 18, 2001, to determine the spatial distribution of the gasoline oxygenate additive methyl tert-butyl ether and selected water-quality constituents in the surficial aquifer underlying the Dover National Test Site. This report provides a summary assessment of the distribution of methyl tert- butyl ether and a preliminary screening of selected constituents that may affect natural attenuation and remediation demonstrations at the Dover National Test Site. The information gathered during this study is designed to assist potential remedial investigators who are considering conducting a methyl tert-butyl ether remedial demonstration at the test site. In addition, the study supported a planned enhanced bioremediation demonstration and assisted the Dover National Test Site in identifying possible locations for future methyl tert-butyl ether remediation demonstrations.

AB  - In 2001, the National Guard Bureau and the U.S. Geological Survey began a project to compile hydrogeologic data and determine presence or absence of soil, surface-water, and ground-water contamination at the Idaho Army National Guard Orchard Training Area in southwestern Idaho. Between June 2002 and April 2003, a total of 114 soil, surface-water, ground-water, precipitation, or dust samples were collected from 68 sample sites (65 different locations) in the Orchard Training Area (OTA) or along the vehicle corridor to the OTA. Soil and water samples were analyzed for concentrations of selected total trace metals, major ions, nutrients, explosive compounds, semivolatile organics, and petroleum hydrocarbons. Water samples also were analyzed for concentrations of selected dissolved trace metals and major ions.

T1  - Water Quality and Possible Sources of Nitrate in the Cimarron Terrace Aquifer, Oklahoma, 2003
AN  - 20387431; 7293341
AB  - The purpose of this report is to describe the water quality and possible sources of nitrate in the Cimarron terrace aquifer. 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.

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.

T1  - Water Quality, Fish Tissue, and Bed Sediment Monitoring in Waterbodies of Fort Chaffee Maneuver Training Center, Arkansas, 2002-2004
AN  - 20387308; 7293725
AB  - The purpose of this report is to provide data from September 2002 to July 2004 for contaminants in the water, fish tissue, and bed sediment of Fort Chaffee's streams and lakes. 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.

T1  - Probable Effects of the Proposed Sulphur Gulch Reservoir on Colorado River Quantity and Quality Near Grand Junction, Colorado
AN  - 20387257; 7293523
AB  - A 16,000 acre-foot reservoir is proposed to be located about 25 miles east of Grand Junction, Colorado, on a tributary of the Colorado River that drains the Sulphur Gulch watershed between De Beque and Cameo, Colorado. 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.

T1  - Sediment Quality in the North Coastal Basin of Massachusetts, 2003
AN  - 20387223; 7293263
AB  - This report discusses detections and concentrations of elements and three types of organic compounds in the bottom sediments of selected rivers, lakes, and estuaries of the North Coastal Basins drainage basins. 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.

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.

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.

T1  - Vertical Gradients in Water Chemistry and Age in the Southern High Plains Aquifer, Texas, 2002
AN  - 20387174; 7293231
AB  - The purpose of this report is to describe vertical gradients in water chemistry and age in selected areas of the southern High Plains aquifer. In 2001, seven monitoring wells at two sites were completed in the aquifer and one monitoring well was completed in sediments of Triassic age underlying the aquifer. The wells had single screens that were placed at various depths below the water table. In 2002, water samples were collected once from each well and analyzed for field parameters; major ions; nutrients; trace elements; dissolved organic carbon (DOC); pesticides; dissolved helium (He), methane (CH4), neon (Ne), nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), and argon (Ar) gases; tritium (3H); stable isotopes of water; stable nitrogen isotopes of dissolved nitrate and nitrogen gas; stable and radioactive isotopes of dissolved inorganic carbon; stable isotopes of dissolved sulfate; and the dissolved strontium isotope ratio.

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.

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.

T1  - Biomonitoring of Environmental Status and Trends (BEST) Program: Environmental Contaminants and their Effects on Fish in the Columbia River Basin
AN  - 20385251; 7293291
AB  - This project examined and analyzed 560 fish representing eight species collected from 16 stations in the Columbia River Basin (CRB) from September 1997 to April 1998. ten of the 16 sampling locations were historical National Contaminant Biomonitoring Program (NCBP) sites where organochlorine and elemental contaminants in fish had been monitored from 1969 through 1986. five sites were co-located at U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)- National Stream Quantity Accounting Network (NASQAN) stations at which water quality is monitored. The sampling location at Marine Park in Vancouver, Washington did not correspond to either of the established monitoring programs. Eight of the sampling locations were located on the Columbia River; three were on the Snake River, two were on the Willamette River, and one site was on each of the Yakima, Salmon and Flathead Rivers.

T1  - Chloride in Ground Water and Surface Water in the Vicinity of Selected Surface Water Sampling Sites of the Beneficial Use Monitoring Program of Oklahoma, 2003
AN  - 20385229; 7293288
AB  - The purpose of this report is to (1) present chloride concentrations in local ground water adjacent to 11 chlorideimpaired BUMP surface-water sampling sites, and (2) compare chloride concentrations of the ground-water sites to chloride concentrations of the BUMP surface-water sampling sites. 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.

T1  - Assessment of Subsurface Chlorinated Solvent Contamination Using Tree Cores at the Front Street Site and a Former Dry Cleaning Facility at the Riverfront Superfund Site, New Haven, Missouri, 1999-2003
AN  - 20351427; 7293223
AB  - Tree-core sampling has been a reliable and inexpensive tool to quickly assess the presence of shallow (less than about 30 feet deep) tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) contamination in soils and ground water at the Riverfront Superfund Site. 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.

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.

T1  - Estimation of a Water Budget for 1972-2000 for the Grasslands Area, Central Part of the Western San Joaquin Valley, California. 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.

T1  - Hydrogeology and Ground-Water-Flow Simulation in the Former Airfield Area of Naval Support Activity Mid-South, Millington, Tennessee
AN  - 20002138; 7293751
AB  - Naval Support Activity Mid-South is a Department of the Navy base located in Millington, Tennessee. 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.

T1  - Aquifer Properties, Stream Base Flow, Water Use, and Water Levels in the Pohatcong Valley, Warren County, New Jersey
AN  - 20000279; 7293522
AB  - A study was conducted to define the hydrogeology and describe the ground-water flow in the Pohatcong Valley in Warren County, N.J. near the Pohatcong Valley Ground Water Contamination Site. 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. The thrust faults separating the carbonate and crystalline rocks may further impede flow between the two rock types.

T1  - Reconnaissance of Surface Water Quality and Possible Sources of Nutrients and Bacteria in the Turkey Creek Watershed, Northwest Oklahoma, 2002-2003
AN  - 20000237; 7293280
AB  - This report describes the surface-water-quality data collected in the Turkey Creek watershed from June 2002 to June 2003, and the results of stable nitrogen isotopes to determine possible sources of nutrients and a bacterial source tracking method used to identify possible sources of E. coli bacteria to surface water. 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.

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.

AN  - 19975105; 7293528
AB  - This report defines sources of water and contaminants to wells in a carbonate aquifer near Martinsburg, Pa., by use of geochemical indicators, analysis of anthropogenic contaminants, contaminants, and simulation of ground-water flow. The areal extent of the zone of contribution of water to the four supply wells used by the Martinsburg Municipal Authority, Blair County, Pa., is estimated. This report includes interpretations of water- quality analyses collected in September 2002, water levels measured in 16 wells in September 2002, streamflow discharge measured in 1 spring and 4 streams during September and November 2002, and simulation of ground-water flow under steady-state conditions. The results of water-quality sampling are compared to results of ground-water modeling and are used to assess the accuracy of the areal extent of the zone of contribution delineated by the model.

T1  - Ecosystem History of Southern and Central Biscayne Bay: Summary Report on Sediment Core Analyses-Year Two
AN  - 19975001; 7292647
AB  - The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) lists restoration of the timing, quantity, and quality of the natural flow of freshwater as one its primary goals. 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.

T1  - Geostatistical Analysis of Effective Vertical Hydraulic Conductivity and Presence of Confining Layers in the Shallow Glacial Drift Aquifer, Oakland County, Michigan
AN  - 19974867; 7293310
AB  - About 400,000 residents of Oakland County, Mich., rely on ground water for their primary drinking-water supply. 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.

T1  - Water Resources on and near the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi Indian Tribal Lands, Calhoun County, Michigan, 2000-03
AN  - 19972261; 7292656
AB  - The Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi Indians in Calhoun County, Michigan is concerned about the water quality and quantity of streams in and around tribal lands and of shallow ground water. The tribe wanted to establish a database that included streamflow, stage, and water quality of local streams and quality of ground water from wells belonging to the tribe and its members. Concerned about the effects of long-term agricultural activity and increasing numbers of single-family dwellings being constructed within the watershed both on and off the reservation, the tribe wants to develop a water-resources management plan.

T1  - Wilderness Experience in Rocky Mountain National Park 2002: Report to RMNP
AN  - 19924358; 6261460
AB  - Approximately 250,000 acres of backcountry in Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP or the Park) may be designated as wilderness use areas in the coming years. 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.

T1  - Virus Fate and Transport During Recharge Using Recycled Water at a Research Field Site in the Montebello Forebay, Los Angeles County, California, 1997-2000
AN  - 19857707; 7293276
AB  - Total and fecal coliform bacteria distributions in subsurface water samples collected at a research field site in Los Angeles County were found to increase from nondetectable levels immediately before artificial recharge using tertiary-treated municipal wastewater (recycled water). 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.

T1  - Fecal-Indicator Bacteria in the Newfound Creek Watershed, Western North Carolina, During a High and Low Streamflow Condition, 2003
AN  - 19857609; 7293746
AB  - In October 2000, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) entered into an agreement with the Buncombe County SWCD to assess fecal- bacterial contamination in the Newfound Creek watershed. 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.

T1  - Characterization of Water Quality in Government Highline Canal at Camp 7 Diversion and Highline Lake, Mesa County, Colorado, July 2000 through September 2003
AN  - 19839495; 7293354
AB  - The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Colorado Division of Parks and Recreation, collected and analyzed water- quality data for the Government Highline Canal and Highline Lake from July 2000 through September 2003. 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.

T1  - Sharing of Ribotype Patterns of 'Escherichia Coli' Isolates During Baseflow and Stormflow Conditions
AN  - 19782636; 7293817
AB  - Factors affecting bacterial source tracking are important to understand because they affect the amount of sampling needed to describe fecal sources in a watershed adequately. 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.

T1  - Simulated Effects of Impoundment of Lake Seminole on Ground- Water Flow in the Upper Floridan Aquifer in Southwestern Georgia and Adjacent Parts of Alabama and Florida
AN  - 19584717; 7293540
AB  - Hydrologic implications of the impoundment of Lake Seminole in southwest Georgia and its effect on components of the surface- and ground-water flow systems of the lower ApalachicolaChattahoocheeFlint (ACF) River Basin were investigated using a ground-water model. Comparison of simulation results of postimpoundment drought conditions (October 1986) with results of hypothetical preimpoundment conditions (a similar drought prior to 1955) provides a qualitative measure of the changes in hydraulic head and ground-water flow to and from streams and Lake Seminole, and across State lines caused by the impoundment.

T1  - Reconnaissance of the Hydrogeology of Ta'u, American Samoa
AN  - 19584589; 7293332
AB  - This report describes a conceptual hydrogeologic model that will aid in the exploration for and management of water resources on Ta'u, with emphasis in the northwestern part of the island, where new wells have been proposed and concerns about ground-water contamination from a landfill have been raised. The model is based on compilation, analysis, and hydrologic interpretation of existing data and data collected during a reconnaissance survey of the existing fresh-water resources on Ta'u. 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.

AN  - 19584564; 7293289
AB  - This report describes the daily fluctuations of dissolved- oxygen concentrations and reports associated water temperature, pH, and specific-conductance values at 52 sites along 80 mi of the North Fork Shenandoah River from Cootes Store, Va., to its confluence with Passage Creek, near Strasburg, Va. Water-quality data were collected at 18 continuous monitoring sites and at 34 instantaneous monitoring sites from July 12-30, 1999. This study was a short-term (less than one month) synoptic survey of water quality to measure daily minimum and maximum values of dissolved- oxygen concentrations and to contribute to the North Fork Shenandoah River IFIM study.

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.

T1  - Late Quaternary Deposition in the Inner Basins of the California Continental Borderland. Part A. 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.

T1  - Age and Source of Water in Springs Associated with the Jacksonville Thrust Fault Complex, Calhoun County, Alabama
AN  - 19582553; 7293307
AB  - This report describes the results of a study performed by the USGS, in cooperation with the Water Works and Sewer Board of the City of Anniston, Alabama, to determine the age and source of water to springs associated with the Jacksonville Thrust Fault Complex in Calhoun County, Alabama. 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.

T1  - Summary of Sediment Data from the Yampa River and Upper Green River Basins, Colorado and Utah, 1993-2002
AN  - 19582521; 7293546
AB  - The water resources of the Upper Colorado River Basin have been extensively developed for water supply, irrigation, and power generation through water storage in upstream reservoirs during spring runoff and subsequent releases during the remainder of the year. 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.

T1  - Estimates of Median Flows for Streams on the 1999 Kansas Surface Water Register
AN  - 19582519; 7293269
AB  - The Kansas State Legislature, by enacting Kansas Statute KSA 82a2001 et. seq., mandated the criteria for determining which Kansas stream segments would be subject to classification by the State. One criterion for the selection as a classified stream segment is based on the statistic of median flow being equal to or greater than 1 cubic foot per second. 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).

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.

T1  - Chemical Characteristics of Ground-Water Discharge Along the South Rim of Grand Canyon in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, 2000-2001
AN  - 19582451; 7293535
AB  - Springs flowing from the south rim of Grand Canyon are an important resource of Grand Canyon National Park, offering refuge to endemic and exotic terrestrial wildlife species and maintaining riparian areas. 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.

T1  - Ground-Water Flow Directions and Estimation of Aquifer Hydraulic Properties in the Lower Great Miami River Buried Valley Aquifer System, Hamilton Area, Ohio
AN  - 19582429; 7293515
AB  - The Great Miami River Buried Valley Aquifer system is one of the most productive sources of potable water in the Midwest, yielding as much as 3,000 gallons per minute to wells. Many water- supply wells tapping this aquifer system are purposely placed near rivers to take advantage of induced infiltration from the rivers. The City of Hamilton's North Well Field consists of 10 wells near the Great Miami River, all completed in the lower Great Miami River Buried Valley Aquifer System. A well-drilling program and a multiple-well aquifer test were done to investigate ground-water flow directions and to estimate aquifer hydraulic properties in the lower part of the Great Miami River Buried Valley Aquifer System.

T1  - Remote Sensing Characterization of the Animas River Watershed, Southwestern Colorado, by AVIRIS Imaging Spectroscopy
AN  - 19582236; 7293345
AB  - Visible-wavelength and near-infrared image cubes of the Animas River watershed in southwestern Colorado have been acquired by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Airborne Visible and InfraRed Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) instrument and processed using the U.S. Geological Survey Tetracorder v3.6a2 implementation. 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.

T1  - Simulated Peak Inflows for Glacier Dammed Russell Fiord, near Yakutat, Alaska
AN  - 19582149; 7293319
AB  - In June 2002, Hubbard Glacier advanced across the entrance to 35-mile-long Russell Fiord creating a glacier-dammed lake. 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.

T1  - Estimates of Flow Duration, Mean Flow, and Peak-Discharge Frequency Values for Kansas Stream Locations
AN  - 19582115; 7293260
AB  - The purpose of this report is to document the methods and results of a study designed to estimate the flow durations, mean flow, and the peak-discharge frequency values for locations on streams on the 1999 Kansas Surface Water Register (KSWR). In this report, 5,427 locations along the KSWR stream coverage were identified as determination sites for which flow statistics were computed from upstream climatic and basin conditions. Flow statistics were not reported for 656 of these determination sites because they were located on reservoirs or irrigation ditches. Flow statistics for each determination site either were computed from gaged-location streamflow records, estimated from statewide regression models, or interpolated between gaged locations or gaged and regression-estimated locations.

T1  - Preliminary Investigation of Structural Controls of Ground- Water Movement in Pipe Spring National Monument, Arizona
AN  - 19582068; 7293258
AB  - Pipe Spring National Monument, near the border of Arizona and Utah, includes several low-discharge springs that are the primary natural features of the monument. 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.

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.

AB  - The purpose of this report is to describe and compare the hydrologic and water-quality characteristics of Calf Creek near Silver Hill, Arkansas, to sites on the Buffalo River upstream and downstream from the confluence of Calf Creek. Stream stage was measured continuously to compute streamflow, and water-quality samples were collected monthly and during selected high-flow events from January 2001 to March 2003. Results for calendar years 2001 and 2002 are described in this report. Water samples were analyzed for several field parameters and constituents, including specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, water temperature, pH, alkalinity, fecal indicator bacteria, nutrients, organic carbon, and suspended sediment. Annual and seasonal loads were estimated for Calf Creek for nutrients, dissolved organic carbon, and suspended sediment and compared with loads for sites on the Buffalo River upstream and downstream from its confluence with Calf Creek.

T1  - Status of Water Levels and Selected Water-Quality Conditions in the Sparta-Memphis Aquifer in Arkansas and the Sparta Aquifer in Louisiana, Spring-Summer 2001
AN  - 19582023; 7293306
AB  - During the spring of 2001, water levels were measured in 427 wells in the Sparta-Memphis aquifer in Arkansas and the Sparta aquifer in Louisiana. 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. Hydrographs were constructed for wells with a minimum of 25 years of water-level measurements

T1  - Water Flow and Nutrient Flux from Five Estuarine Rivers along the Southwest Coast of the Everglades National Park, Florida, 1997- 2001
AN  - 19582021; 7293324
AB  - This report describes the timing and magnitude of water flows and nutrient fluxes for five estuarine river stations located along the southwest coast of Everglades National Park. The study began in late 1996 and ended in early 2001. Discharge data were collected at three stations from early 1997 through early 2001, and nutrient-concentration data were collected at these stations from February 1997 through August 2000. Discharge data were collected at two additional stations from April 1999 through May 2001, and nutrient-concentration data were collected at these additional stations from May 1999 through August 2000. Station descriptions and characteristics, equipment selected for monitoring the rivers, and procedures used for estimation of discharge and discharge errors are presented in this report. Brief descriptions of hydrodynamic characteristics at each station are presented in the Methods section of this report. Water-quality methods used to collect water samples, an overview of water- quality data collected, and procedures used for the estimation of nutrient flux also are presented in the Methods section.

T1  - Estimating the Magnitude and Frequency of Floods in Small Urban Streams in South Carolina, 2001
AN  - 19582003; 7293286
AB  - This report describes the comparison of peak flows measured through water year 2001 with peak flows computed by using a rainfall-runoff model during the previous urban flood-frequency investigation (Bohman, 1992). The flood-frequency estimates for 20 streamflow stations were updated using measured peak-flow data. Methods are presented for predicting the magnitude and frequency of floods in South Carolina at ungaged urban basins in the Piedmont, upper Coastal Plain, and lower Coastal Plain physiographic provinces. Statistics describing the uncertainty in the prediction equations are presented and the limitations of the equations also are discussed.

T1  - Regression Equations for Estimating Flood Flows for the 2-, 10- , 25-, 50-, 100-, and 500-Year Recurrence Intervals in Connecticut
AN  - 19581977; 7293308
AB  - Multiple linear-regression equations were developed to estimate the magnitudes of floods in Connecticut for recurrence intervals ranging from 2 to 500 years. 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.

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.

T1  - Evaluation of Ground-Water Contribution to Streamflow in Coastal Georgia and Adjacent Parts of Florida and South Carolina
AN  - 19581946; 7293529
AB  - This report describes stream-aquifer relations in the coastal area of Georgia and adjacent parts of Florida and South Carolina by estimating ground-water discharge to streams under a variety of climatic conditions. These estimates were made using hydrograph- separation techniques, drought-streamflow measurements, and linear- regression analysis of streamflow duration. The estimated ground- water discharge is being used to calibrate a regional ground-water flow model to evaluate ground-water flow and stream-aquifer relations of the Upper Floridan aquifer.

T1  - Investigation of Hydroacoustic Flow Monitoring Alternatives at the Sacramento River at Freeport, California: Results of the 2002- 2004 Pilot Study
AN  - 19581930; 7293279
AB  - The Sacramento River at Freeport is a tidally affected channel approximately 620 feet wide located at the northern boundary of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, California. 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.

T1  - Estimated Water Use and Availability in the Pawcatuck Basin, Southern Rhode Island and Southeastern Connecticut, 1995-99
AN  - 19581916; 7293224
AB  - This report identifies the water-use components and assesses water use and availability in the Pawcatuck Basin and its six ground-water subbasins for periods of little to no recharge. To estimate water use, data were collected for the components of water use by ground-water subbasins for the towns and systems (supply and disposal) in the Pawcatuck Basin. The water withdrawals, users, and dischargers were organized and retrieved using the New England Water-Use Data System (NEWUDS) for the study period, calendar years 1995 through 1999. The report presents the results of the calculated water availability for the six subbasins with a method of determining ground-water discharge during streamflow-recession periods in the summer. assess the streamflow and ground-water interactions, a streamflow-depletion program was run on five of the public supply wells and well fields near the streams.

T1  - Development of a Traveltime Prediction Equation for Streams in Arkansas
AN  - 19581901; 7293253
AB  - This report presents traveltime data collected at 33 sample sites on 18 different streams in Arkansas during two studies based on dye-tracing techniques. 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.

T1  - Water Quality and Streamflow of the Indian River, Sitka, Alaska, 2001-02
AN  - 19581839; 7293235
AB  - The Indian River Basin, located near Sitka Alaska, drains an area of 12.3 square miles. 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.

T1  - Guidelines for Evaluating Ground-Water Flow Models
AN  - 19581812; 7293228
AB  - Ground-water flow modeling is an important tool frequently used in studies of ground-water systems. Reviewers and users of these studies have a need to evaluate the accuracy or reasonableness of the ground-water flow model. This report provides some guidelines and discussion on how to evaluate complex ground-water flow models used in the investigation of ground-water systems. A consistent thread throughout these guidelines is that the objectives of the study must be specified to allow the adequacy of the model to be evaluated.

T1  - Estimated Water Use and Availability in the South Coastal Drainage Basin, Southern Rhode Island, 1995-99
AN  - 19581706; 7293326
AB  - The South Coastal Drainage Basin includes approximately 59.14 square miles in southern Rhode Island. 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.

AB  - Johnson Creek is a free-flowing stream in the Portland metropolitan area that has historically supported native fish populations, but it has a recent history of high pesticide concentrations (mostly organochlorine compounds), both in the water column and in streambed sediments. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with local jurisdictions, began an assessment of the hydrologic conditions in the Johnson Creek Basin and in March 2002 sampled Johnson Creek and storm drains for organochlorine compounds. In addition to the March 2002 sampling, samples were taken at several other sites in the basin by other agencies.

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.

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.

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.

T1  - Status of Water Levels and Selected Water-Quality Conditions in the Mississippi River Valley Alluvial Aquifer in Eastern Arkansas, 2002
AN  - 19580950; 7293349
AB  - During the spring of 2002, water levels were measured in 737 wells completed in the Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer in eastern Arkansas. 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.

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.

T1  - Simulation of the Ground-Water-Flow System in the Kalamazoo County Area, Michigan
AN  - 19580923; 7293533
AB  - A ground-water-flow model was developed to investigate the ground-water resources of Kalamazoo County. 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.

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.

T1  - Development of a Geodatabase and Conceptual Model of the Hydrogeologic Units Beneath Air Force Plant 4 and Naval Air Station-Joint Reserve Base Carswell Field, Fort Worth, Texas
AN  - 19580889; 7293297
AB  - Air Force Plant 4 and adjacent Naval Air Station-Joint Reserve Base Carswell Field at Fort Worth, Texas, constitute a government- owned, contractor-operated facility that has been in operation since 1942. 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.

T1  - Hydrologic, Ecologic, and Geomorphic Responses of Brewery Creek to Construction of a Residential Subdivision, Dane County, Wisconsin, 1999-2002
AN  - 19580859; 7293293
AB  - The report describes the methods used in and the results from the Brewery Creek study. 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.

T1  - Hydraulic-Geometry Relations for Rivers in Coastal and Central Maine
AN  - 19580835; 7293532
AB  - Hydraulic-geometry relations (curves) were derived for 15 sites on 12 rivers in coastal and central Maine on the basis of site-specific (at-a-station) hydraulic-geometry relations and hydraulic models. 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.

T1  - Comparison of Methods for Determining Streamflow Requirements for Aquatic Habitat Protection at Selected Sites on the Assabet and Charles Rivers, Eastern Massachusetts, 2000-02
AN  - 19580830; 7293265
AB  - This report compares three standard-setting methods and a diagnostic method for estimating the flow necessary to maintain aquatic habitat in the Assabet and Charles Rivers. 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.

T1  - Occurrence and Distribution of Trace Elements in Snow, Streams, and Streambed Sediments, Cape Krusenstern National Monument, Alaska, 2002-2003
AN  - 19580816; 7293519
AB  - Cape Krusenstern National Monument is located in Northwest Alaska. 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.

AN  - 19580794; 7293262
AB  - The report describes the water quality of Wonder Lake and Nippersink Creek, McHenry County, Illinois. Sediment and nutrient data were collected during 1994-97 and 1999-2001. The sediment trapping efficiency of Wonder Lake is estimated for the period 1994-97. The water-quality conditions of the lake are evaluated with a Trophic State Index (TSI) with data collected in 1999 and 2000. The data collected as part of these studies were combined for analysis in this report. Annual loads of sediment were calculated using an interpolation technique and annual loads of nutrients were computed with multivariate regression techniques.

T1  - Three-Dimensional Geologic Framework Modeling of Faulted Hydrostratigraphic Units within the Edwards Aquifer, Northern Bexar County, Texas
AN  - 19580791; 7293343
AB  - This report describes a digital, three-dimensional faulted hydrostratigraphic model constructed to represent the geologic framework of the Edwards aquifer system in the area of San Antonio, northern Bexar County, Texas. The model is based on mapped geologic relationships that reflect the complex structures of the Balcones fault zone, detailed lithologic descriptions and interpretations of about 40 principal wells (and qualified data from numerous other wells), and a conceptual model of the gross geometry of the Edwards Group units derived from prior interpretations of depositional environments and paleogeography.

T1  - Simulation of Ground-Water Flow in the Cedar River Alluvial Aquifer Flow System, Cedar Rapids, Iowa
AN  - 19580773; 7293237
AB  - This report presents the results of a simulation of groundwater flow in the Cedar River alluvial aquifer and underlying bedrock aquifers in the area where municipal water withdrawals occur (alluvial aquifer flow system). The report details the construction of a three-dimensional steady-state and transient ground-water flow model to provide quantitative estimates of the interaction between the alluvial aquifer and the Cedar River and provides an analysis of simulated hypothetical pumping scenarios and the resulting effect on the amount and timing of water infiltrating from the Cedar River. The results can be used to describe the potential range in temporal and spatial variations of surface-water and ground-water interaction in the Cedar River alluvium where municipal pumping causes induced recharge to the aquifer.

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.

T1  - Delineation of Areas Contributing Recharge to Selected Public- Supply Wells in Glacial Valley-Fill and Wetland Settings, Rhode Island
AN  - 19580752; 7293234
AB  - This report describes the geohydrology and the areas contributing recharge and sources of water to eight publicsupply wells in three study areas: the Cumberland and Lincoln study area includes two Cumberland wells and three Lincoln wells, the North Smithfield study area includes one present and one proposed well, and the Westerly study area includes one well. 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).

T1  - Regional Water Table (2004) and Water-Level Changes in the Mojave River and Morongo Ground-Water Basins, Southwestern Mojave Desert, California
AN  - 19580690; 7293277
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 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.

T1  - Generalized Estimates from Streamflow Data of Annual and Seasonal Ground-Water-Recharge Rates for Drainage Basins in New Hampshire
AN  - 19580663; 7293251
AB  - The purpose of this report is to present a method for the generalized estimates of annual and seasonal ground-water-recharge rates in New Hampshire drainage basins. 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.

AN  - 19580644; 7293238
AB  - The purpose of this report is to describe the study of ground- water flow direction, water quality, recharge sources, and age. 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.

T1  - Glacial History and Runoff Components of the Tlikakila River Basin, Lake Clark National Park and Reserve, Alaska
AN  - 19580641; 7293518
AB  - The Tlikakila River is located in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve and drains an area of 1,610 square kilometers (622 square miles). Runoff from the Tlikakila River Basin accounts for about one half of the total inflow to Lake Clark. Glaciers occupy about one third of the basin and affect the runoff characteristics of the Tlikakila River. As part of a cooperative study with the National Park Service, glacier changes and runoff characteristics in the Tlikakila River Basin were studied in water years 2001 and 2002.

T1  - Pesticides Detected in Urban Streams in King County, Washington, 1998-2003
AN  - 19580631; 7293351
AB  - Department of Natural Resources collected water samples from 14 sites on urban streams in King County during storms and during base flow between 1998 and 2003. 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.

T1  - Geochemistry and Characteristics of Nitrogen Transport at a Confined Animal Feeding Operation in a Coastal Plain Agricultural Watershed, and Implications for Nutrient Loading in the Neuse River Basin, North Carolina, 1999-2002
AN  - 19580587; 7293530
AB  - Chemical, geologic, hydrologic, and age-dating information collected between 1999 and 2002 were used to examine the transport of contaminants, primarily nitrogen, in ground water and the pathways to surface water in a coastal plain setting in North Carolina. Data were collected from more than 35 wells and 4 surface-water sampling sites located in a 0.59 square-mile basin to examine detailed hydrogeology and geochemical processes affecting nutrient fate and transport. Two additional surface- water sampling sites were located downstream from the primary study site to evaluate basin-scale effects. Chemical and flow data also were collected at an additional 10 sites in the Coastal Plain portion of the Neuse River basin located between Kinston and New Bern, North Carolina, to evaluate loads transported in the Neuse River and primary tributary basins.

T1  - Regional Ground-Water-Flow Models of Surficial Sand and Gravel Aquifers Along the Mississippi River between Brainerd and St. Cloud, Central Minnesota
AN  - 19580557; 7293257
AB  - The purpose of this report is to document regional ground- water-flow models constructed for the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) to satisfy the requirements of their Source Water Protection Plan (SWPP). 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.

T1  - Estimation of Travel Times for Seven Tributaries of the Mississippi River, St. Cloud to Minneapolis, Minnesota, 2003
AN  - 19580437; 7293248
AB  - Travel times for seven streams tributary to the Mississippi River from St. Cloud to Minneapolis, Minnesota, were estimated for three flow conditions; low, median, and high. 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

T1  - Ground-Water System in the Chimacum Creek Basin and Surface Water/Ground Water Interaction in Chimacum and Tarboo Creeks and the Big and Little Quilcene Rivers, Eastern Jefferson County, Washington
AN  - 19580419; 7293225
AB  - This report presents the results of the study to (1) assess the ground-water system in the Chimacum Creek Basin and (2) describe the interaction of surface water and ground water in the four main drainage basins in the Water Resources Inventory Area (WRIA) 17 area. The assessment of the ground-water system includes defining the hydrogeology and determining the thickness of hydrogeologic units, the horizontal and vertical movement of ground water, and areas of recharge and discharge. The interaction of surface water and ground water includes determining boundaries of gaining and losing reaches in streams, the quantity of surface water gained or lost, seasonal variations, and a comparison of the four drainage basins. Information provided in this report will support the development of a comprehensive watershed plan for WRIA 17 and help assess the effects of future groundwater development.

T1  - Simulated Water-Level Responses, Ground-Water Fluxes, and Storage Changes for Recharge Scenarios along Rillito Creek, Tucson, Arizona
AN  - 19580293; 7293338
AB  - A local ground-water flow model is used to simulate four recharge scenarios along Rillito Creek in northern Tucson to evaluate mitigating effects on ground-water deficits and water- level declines in Tucson's Central Well Field. 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.

T1  - Evaluation of Pier-Scour Equations for Coarse-Bed Streams
AN  - 19580258; 7293304
AB  - This report describes the results of an evaluation of five pier-scour equations for coarse-bed streams. Scour depths calculated by the equations were compared with 18 pier-scour measurements at 3 bridge sites in Montana, 10 measurements at 2 sites in Alaska, 4 measurements at 1 site in Maryland, 1 measurement in Ohio, and 9 measurements at 2 sites in Virginia (fig. 1 and table 1). Scour measurements for each site are summarized in tables 1 and 2. The Simplified Chinese equation, the Froehlich equation, the Froehlich design equation, the HEC- 18/Jones equation, and the HEC-18/Mueller equation were evaluated based on the accuracy of pier-scour estimates and number and magnitude of underestimates resulting from each equation.

T1  - Biomonitoring of Environmental Status and Trends (BEST) Program: Environmental Contaminants and their Effects on Fish in the Rio Grande Basin
AN  - 19580230; 7293290
AB  - The authors collected, examined, and analyzed 368 fish of seven species from 10 sites in the Rio Grande Basin (RGB) during late 1997 and early 1998. four sites were National Contaminant Biomonitoring Program (NCBP) stations where organochlorine and elemental contaminants in fish had been monitored from 1969 through 1986. 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.

T1  - Geology and Preliminary Hydrogeologic Characterization of the Cell-House Site, Berlin, New Hampshire, 2003-04
AN  - 19580214; 7293732
AB  - The purpose of this report is to present the results of geologic mapping, water-level analyses, and geophysical surveys to characterize the bedrock and to determine the location and orientation of potentially transmissive zones in the rock at the cell-house site in Berlin, N.H. 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.

T1  - Analyses and Estimates of Hydraulic Conductivity from Slug Tests in Alluvial Aquifer Underlying Air Force Plant 4 and Naval Air Station-Joint Reserve Base Carswell Field, Fort Worth, Texas
AN  - 19580202; 7293348
AB  - This report describes the collection, analyses, and distribution of hydraulic-conductivity data obtained from slug tests completed in the alluvial aquifer underlying Air Force Plant 4 and Naval Air Station-Joint Reserve Base Carswell Field, Fort Worth, Texas, during October 2002 and August 2003 and summarizes previously available hydraulic-conductivity data. 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.

T1  - Base Flow, Water Quality, and Streamflow Gain and Loss of the Buffalo River, Arkansas, and Selected Tributaries, July and August 2003
AN  - 19580190; 7293729
AB  - A study of the Buffalo National River in north-central Arkansas was conducted between July 28-30 and August 13-15, 2003, to characterize the base-flow and water-quality characteristics and streamflow gain and loss in the Buffalo River. 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.

T1  - Stream-Sediment Geochemistry in Mining-Impacted Streams: Prichard, Eagle, and Beaver Creeks, Northern Coeur d'Alene Mining District, Northern Idaho
AN  - 19580181; 7293325
AB  - This report presents the results of one aspect of an integrated watershed-characterization study that was undertaken to assess the impacts of historical mining and milling of silver-lead- zinc ores on water and sediment composition and on aquatic biota in streams draining the northern part of the Coeur dAlene Mining District in northern Idaho. We present the results of chemical analyses of 62 samples of streambed sediment, 19 samples of suspended sediment, 23 samples of streambank soil, and 29 samples of mine- and mill-related artificial- fill material collected from the drainages of Prichard, Eagle, and Beaver Creeks, all tributaries to the North Fork of the Coeur dAlene River. All samples were sieved into three grain-size fractions (<0.063, 0.0630.25, and 0.251.0 mm) and analyzed for 40 elements after four- acid digestion by inductively coupled plasma atomic-emission spectrometry and for mercury by continuous- flow cold-vapor atomic- absorption spectrometry in the U.S. Geological Survey laboratory in Denver, Colorado.

T1  - Characterization and Simulation of Flow in the Lower Arkansas River Alluvial Aquifer, South-Central Kansas
AN  - 19580163; 7293309
AB  - Multiple linear-regression equations were developed to estimate the magnitudes of floods in Connecticut for recurrence intervals ranging from 2 to 500 years. 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.

T1  - Water Use Trends in the Desert Southwest-1950-2000
AN  - 19580142; 7293295
AB  - The population in the Desert Southwest is among the fastest growing in the country. 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.

T1  - Simulation of Ground-Water Flow in Glaciofluvial Aquifers in the Grand Rapids Area, Minnesota
AN  - 19580122; 7293294
AB  - A calibrated steady-state, finite-difference, ground-water flow model was constructed to simulate ground-water flow in three glaciofluvial aquifers, defined in this report as the upper, middle, and lower aquifers, in an area of about 114 m(sup 2) surrounding the city of Grand Rapids in north-central Minnesota. 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.

T1  - Movement of the Saltwater Interface in the Surficial Aquifer System in Response to Hydrologic Stresses and Water-Management Practices, Broward County, Florida
AN  - 19577675; 7293756
AB  - The purpose of this report is to describe the movement of the saltwater interface in response to hydrologic stresses and water- management factors in Broward County, southeastern Florida. 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.

T1  - Simulation of Ground-Water Flow Contributing Recharge Areas, and Ground-Water Travel Time in the Missouri River Alluvial Aquifer Near Ft. 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.

T1  - Application of Acoustic and Optic Methods for Estimating Suspended-Solids Concentrations in the St. Lucie River Estuary, Florida
AN  - 19577655; 7293735
AB  - Acoustic and optic methods were applied to estimate suspended- solids concentrations in the St. Lucie River Estuary, southeastern Florida. 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.

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).

T1  - Summary of Hydraulic Properties of the Floridan Aquifer System in Coastal Georgia and Adjacent Parts of South Carolina and Florida
AN  - 19577634; 7293720
AB  - This report presents a compilation of existing hydraulic- property data for the Floridan aquifer system and equivalent aquifer units of coastal Georgia, southeastern South Carolina, and northeastern Florida. Data include analysis of transmissivity at 324 wells, storage coefficient at 115 wells, and vertical hydraulic conductivity of 72 core samples from 27 sites. Data were compiled largely from the literature and from data files of the USGS, GaEPD, South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC), South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, and the St. Johns River Water Management District. Interpretations relating hydraulic-property values to hydrogeologic settings were made on the basis of available published hydrogeologic data.

T1  - Summary and Comparison of Multiphase Streambed Scour Analysis at Selected Bridge Sites in Alaska
AN  - 19577399; 7293282
AB  - The U.S. Geological Survey and the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities undertook a cooperative multiphase study of streambed scour at selected bridges in Alaska beginning in 1994. Of the 325 bridges analyzed for susceptibility to scour in the preliminary phase, 54 bridges were selected for a more intensive analysis that included site investigations. Cross- section geometry and hydraulic properties for each site in this study were determined from field surveys and bridge plans. Water- surface profiles were calculated for the 100- and 500-year floods using the Hydrologic Engineering Center's River Analysis System and scour depths were calculated using methods recommended by the Federal Highway Administration.

T1  - Direction of Ground-Water Flow in the Surficial Aquifer in the Vicinity of Impact Areas G-10 and K-2, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, 2004
AN  - 19577352; 7293217
AB  - The purpose of this report is to present the results of an investigation to characterize ground-water flow directions and hydraulic gradients in the surficial aquifer near Impact Areas K-2 and G-10 at Camp Lejeune. The scope of work included a compilation of water-level data in the unconfined surficial aquifer and potentiometric head data in the confined Castle Hayne aquifer from existing and newly drilled wells. The water-level information was used to contour the water-table surface of the surficial aquifer and determine vertical hydraulic gradients between the surficial and Castle Hayne aquifers near Impact Areas K-2 and G-10. This report provides information needed by water-resource managers at Camp Lejeune to optimize the placement of water-quality monitoring wells near Impact Area K-2 and Impact Area G-10. Results of this study also will provide Base officials with information on groundwater level conditions in the surficial aquifer and underlying Castle Hayne aquifer.

T1  - Simulation of Runoff and Wetland Storage in the Hamden and Lonetree Watershed Sites Within the Red River of the North Basin, North Dakota and Minnesota
AN  - 19577051; 7293744
AB  - Re-establishment of wetlands has been promoted by various groups to control future floods in the Red River of the North Basin in North Dakota and Minnesota. 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.

T1  - Effects of Decreased Ground-Water Withdrawal on Ground-Water Levels and Chloride Concentrations in Camden County, Georgia, and Ground-Water Levels in Nassau County, Florida, from September 2001 to May 2003
AN  - 19577031; 7293734
AB  - This report describes changes in ground-water levels in the Floridan aquifer system and overlying upper Brunswick and confined surficial aquifers and chloride concentration in the Upper Floridan aquifer, resulting from a large decrease in ground-water withdrawal because of closure of a paper mill at St. Marys, Georgia, during October 2002. 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.

T1  - Modeling Streamflow and Water Temperature in the North Santiam and Santiam Rivers, Oregon, 2001-02
AN  - 19576963; 7293747
AB  - To support the development of a total maximum daily load (TMDL) for water temperature in the Willamette Basin, the laterally averaged, two-dimensional model CE-QUAL-W2 was used to construct a water temperature and streamflow model of the Santiam and North Santiam Rivers. 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.

T1  - Assessment of Ground-Water Withdrawals at Municipal Industrial Parks in Puerto Rico, 2000
AN  - 19576758; 7293755
AB  - An assessment of ground-water withdrawals at municipal industrial parks throughout Puerto Rico was conducted to investigate the effect of ground-water usage on nearby surface- and ground-water resources. 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.

T1  - Simulation of Ground-Water Flow and Areas Contributing Ground Water to Production Wells, Cadillac, Michigan
AN  - 19576629; 7293517
AB  - Ground water is the primary source of water for domestic, municipal, and industrial use within the northwest section of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. 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.

T1  - Effects of Aquifer Heterogeneity on Ground-Water Flow and Chloride Concentrations in the Upper Floridan Aquifer near and within an Active Pumping Well Field, West-Central Florida
AN  - 19576495; 7293335
AB  - This report describes the hydrogeologic framework and factors affecting the patterns of chloride concentrations observed in ground water within and adjacent to the Eldridge-Wilde well field. This report describes the methods of investigation, and combines historical data with data collected between 1998 and 2000 to describe the hydraulic characteristics and water quality within a heterogeneous multilayered aquifer system. Surface- and borehole- geophysical data were analyzed and compared with hydrologic and water-quality data. The hydrogeologic framework describes the hydraulic properties of the aquifer units and their respective producing zones. The history and effects of ground-water development are related to their influence on ground-water movement and water quality. Ground-water quality characteristics and the distribution of chloride concentrations are described in terms of spatial, temporal, and vertical variations.

T1  - Comparison of Forest Survey Data with Forest Dynamics Simulators FORCLIM and ZELIG along Climatic Gradients in the Pacific Northwest
AN  - 19576414; 7293254
AB  - Two forest dynamics simulators are compared along climatic gradients in the Pacific Northwest. 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.

T1  - Ground-Water Hydrology and Water Quality of the Southern High Plains Aquifer, Melrose Air Force Range, Cannon Air Force Base, Curry and Roosevelt Counties, New Mexico, 2002-03
AN  - 19575825; 7293742
AB  - In cooperation with the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Geological Survey characterized the ground-water hydrology and water quality at Melrose Air Force Range in east-central New Mexico. The purpose of the study was to provide baseline data to Cannon Air Force Base resource managers to make informed decisions concerning actions that may affect the ground-water system. Five periods of water- level measurements and four periods of water-quality sample collection were completed at Melrose Air Force Range during 2002 and 2003. The waterlevel measurements and water-quality samples were collected from a 29-well monitoring network that included wells in the Impact Area and leased lands of Melrose Air Force Range managed by Cannon Air Force Base personnel. The purpose of this report is to provide a broad overview of ground-water flow and ground-water quality in the Southern High Plains aquifer in the Ogallala Formation at Melrose Air Force Range.

T1  - Surface- and Ground-Water Relations on the Portneuf River, and Temporal Changes in Ground-Water Levels in the Portneuf Valley, Caribou and Bannock Counties, Idaho, 2001-02
AN  - 19575809; 7293738
AB  - The State of Idaho and local water users are concerned that streamflow depletion in the Portneuf River in Caribou and Bannock Counties is linked to ground-water withdrawals for irrigated agriculture. 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.

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.

T1  - Conceptual Model and Numerical Simulation of the Ground-Water- Flow System in the Unconsolidated Deposits of the Colville River Watershed, Stevens County, Washington
AN  - 19574294; 7293749
AB  - This report documents a tool that can be used to simulate the ground-water-flow system in the Colville River Watershed. 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.

T1  - Pond-Aquifer Flow and Water Availability in the Vicinity of Two Coastal Area Seepage Ponds, Glynn and Bulloch Counties, Georgia
AN  - 19574284; 7293719
AB  - Pond-aquifer flow and water availability at excavated seepage pond sites in Glynn County and in southern Bulloch County, Georgia, were evaluated to determine their potential as sources of water supply for irrigation. 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.

T1  - Potential-Scour Assessments and Estimates of Scour Depth Using Different Techniques at Selected Bridge Sites in Missouri
AN  - 19572952; 7293752
AB  - The evaluation of scour at bridges throughout the state of Missouri has been ongoing since 1991 in a cooperative effort by the U.S. Geological Survey and Missouri Department of Transportation. 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.

T1  - Determination of Total Mercury in Fillets of Sport Fishes Collected from Folsom and New Melones Reservoirs, California, 2004
AN  - 19464008; 7550809
AB  - This report presents the results of a study by the U.S. Geological Survey, done in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation, to determine mercury concentrations in selected sport fishes from Folsom and New Melones Reservoirs in California. Fillets were collected from each fish sample, and after homogenization and lyophilization of fish fillets, mercury concentrations were determined with a direct mercury analyzer utilizing the process of thermal combustion-gold amalgamation atomic absorption spectroscopy. Mercury concentrations in fish fillets from Folsom Reservoir ranged from 0.09 to 1.16 micrograms per gram wet weight, and from New Melones Reservoir ranged from 0.03 to 0.94 microgram per gram wet weight. Most of the fish fillets from Folsom Reservoir (87 percent) and 27 percent of the fillets from New Melones Reservoir exceeded the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys fish consumption advisory of 0.30 microgram per gram wet weight.

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).

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.

AN  - 19443619; 7292709
AB  - In late May and early June of 2002, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) acquired four P-wave seismic profiles across the Straight Creek drainage near Red River, New Mexico. The data were acquired to support a larger effort to investigate baseline and pre-mining ground-water quality in the Red River basin (Nordstrom and others, 2002). For ground-water flow modeling, knowledge of the thickness of the valley fill material above the bedrock is required.

T1  - Coastal Vulnerability Assessment of Virgin Islands National Park (VIIS) to Sea-Level Rise
AN  - 19443585; 7292659
AB  - A coastal vulnerability index (CVI) was used to map the relative vulnerability of the coast to future sea-level rise within Virgin Islands National Park on St. John in the US Virgin Islands. 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.

T1  - Evaluation of U.S. Geological Survey Monitoring-Well Network and Potential Effects of Changes in Water Use, Newlands Project, Churchill County, Nevada
AN  - 19443346; 7293549
AB  - Domestic wells tapping shallow ground water are an important source of potable water for rural residents of Lahontan Valley. 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.

T1  - Economic Analysis of Alternative Fertility Control and Associated Management Techniques for Three BLM Wild Horse Herds
AN  - 19443239; 7292651
AB  - Contemporary cost projections were computed for several alternative strategies that could be used by BLM to manage three wild horse populations. The alternatives included existing gather and selective removal methods, combined with potential contraceptive applications of varying duration and other potentially useful management techniques. Costs were projected for a 20-year economic life using the Jenkins wild horse population model and cost estimates from Bureau of Land Management (BLM) that reflect state-by-state per horse removal, adoption, long-term holding, and contraceptive application expenses.

AN  - 19442805; 7292663
AB  - The Iowa ground-water-quality monitoring program has been conducted cooperatively since 1982 by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Iowa Geological Survey; the University of Iowa Hygienic Laboratory; and the U.S. Geological Survey. The original objectives of the program were to provide baseline ground-water- quality data throughout the State for the major aquifers and to address any new areas of water-quality concern. Since the program began, the emphasis and objectives of the program have changed several times. As of 1992, greater emphasis has been placed on determining trends in groundwater quality and correlating water quality with possible contributing factors such as location, land use, aquifer, aquifer depth, and precipitation.

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.

T1  - Triangle Area Water Supply Monitoring Project, October 1988 Through September 2001, North Carolina-Description of the Water- Quality Network, Sampling and Analysis Methods, and Quality- Assurance Practices
AN  - 19442598; 7292664
AB  - The Triangle Area Water Supply Monitoring Project was initiated in October 1988 to provide long-term water-quality data for six area water-supply reservoirs and their tributaries. 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.

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).

T1  - Selected Streamflow Statistics for Streamgaging Stations in Delaware, 2003
AN  - 19442430; 7292653
AB  - Flow-duration and low-flow frequency statistics were calculated for 15 streamgaging stations in Delaware, in cooperation with the Delaware Geological Survey. The flow-duration statistics include the 1-, 2-, 5-, 10-, 20-, 30-, 40-, 50-, 60-, 70-, 80-, 90-, 95-, 98-, and 99-percent duration discharges. The low-flow frequency statistics include the average discharges for 1, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, and 120 days that recur, on average, once in 1.01, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 years. The statistics were computed using U.S. Geological Survey computer programs that can be downloaded from the World Wide Web at no cost. The computer programs automate standard U.S. Geological Survey methods for computing the statistics. Documentation is provided at the Web sites for the individual programs. The computed statistics are presented in tabular format on a separate page for each station, along with the station name, station number, the location, the period of record, and remarks.

T1  - Review of Results and Recommendations from the GCMRC 2000-2003 Remote-Sensing Initiative for Monitoring Environmental Resources within the Colorado River Ecosystem
AN  - 19440745; 7292705
AB  - In mid-2000, the Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center (GCMRC) began a remote-sensing initiative to evaluate all remote- sensing technologies and methods that had potential for providing improved data (capability) for its various programs that monitor the Colorado River ecosystem (CRE). 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.

T1  - Ground Water/Surface Water Relations along Honey Creek, Washtenaw County, Michigan, 2003
AN  - 19440677; 7292657
AB  - The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the city of Ann Arbor, Michigan, investigated the ground-water/surface- water relations along the lower reaches of Honey Creek, Washtenaw County, Michigan, and an unnamed tributary to Honey Creek (the discharge tributary) from June through October 2003. 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.

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.

T1  - 30-Year Record of Surface Mass Balance (1966-95) and Motion and Surface Altitude (1975-95) at Wolverine Glacier, Alaska
AN  - 19430266; 6261462
AB  - Scientific measurements at Wolverine Glacier, on the Kenai Peninsula in south-central Alaska, began in April 1966. 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.

T1  - Assigning Boundary Conditions to the Southern Island and Coastal Systems (SICS) Model using Results from the South Florida Water Management Model (SFWMM)
AN  - 19429998; 6261459
AB  - This report, prepared as part of the USGS Priority Ecosystem Science Program and the National Park Service Critical Ecosystem Studies Initiative, documents the SICS model boundaries developed using model results from the SFWMM. By specifying selected SICS model boundary conditions with SFWMM results, the local-scale effects of alternative water-management scenarios on coastal wetland stage, salinity, and freshwater flows to Florida Bay can be simulated. This report first presents an overview of the SFWMM and SICS models. The current method for assigning SICS model boundaries using field data then are described, followed by a description of designing SICS boundaries with SFWMM results. Finally, the results from a linked model are compared with those from a model that uses field data to assign the boundaries.

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.

T1  - FEDERAL FLUID MINERALS LEASING AND DEVELOPMENT IN SIERRA AND OTERO COUNTIES, NEW MEXICO. [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. 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. LEGAL MANDATES: Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (P.L. 94-377). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 01-0016D, Volume 25, Number 1.

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. LEGAL MANDATES: Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (P.L. 94-377). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 01-0016D, Volume 25, Number 1.

T1  - FEDERAL FLUID MINERALS LEASING AND DEVELOPMENT IN SIERRA AND OTERO COUNTIES, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 16368612; 10556
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.

T1  - SOUTH POWDER RIVER BASIN COAL, CAMPBELL AND CONVERSE COUNTIES, WYOMING.
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. 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.).

T1  - LACKAWANNA HERITAGE VALLEY, A STATE AND NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA, NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA: MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN.
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. LEGAL MANDATES: Lackawanna Heritage Valley National Heritage Act of 2000.

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.).

T1  - LOW COUNTRY GULLA CULTURE SPECIAL RESOURCE STUDY, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, NORTH CAROLINA, AND SOUTH CAROLINA.
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. LEGAL MANDATES: Interior Appropriation Act of 2000.

T1  - DOS POBRES/SAN JUAN PROJECT, GRAHAM COUNTY, ARIZONA. [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. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, as amended (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - Water resources of the Colville River Special Area, National Petroleum Reserve, Alaska
AN  - 51790584; 2004-078998
AB  - In July 2000, the BLM began a systematic inventory of the water resources of the Colville River Special Area, as recommended by the Record of Decision for the Northeast National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska Integrated Activity Plan/Environmental Impact Statement. 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 basin characteristics, streamflow data, channel geometry, and water quality information will be used to characterize those areas subject to future management plans and mitigate potential disturbances in site-specific environmental analyses.

T1  - Upper Gila River Fluvial Geomorphology Study
AN  - 20990366; 7322184
AB  - The Geomorphic Analysis synthesizes geomorphic information about the Gila River and compares results of the analysis to other tasks performed for the Upper Gila River Fluvial Geomorphology Study. 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.

T2  - GLAMIS MARIBOLD MINING COMPANY'S MILLENNIUM EXPANSION PROJECT, HUMBOLDT COUNTY, NEVADA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MARCH 2001).
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.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs, see 00-0169D, Volume 24, Number 2 and 01-0134F Volume 25, Number 2, respectively.

T1  - NORTHWEST NATIONAL PETROLEUM RESERVE, ALASKA. [Part 1 of 4]
T2  - NORTHWEST NATIONAL PETROLEUM RESERVE, ALASKA.
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. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487) and National Petroleum Reserves Production Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 6508).

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. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487) and National Petroleum Reserves Production Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 6508).

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. LEGAL MANDATES: Central Utah Project Completion Act of 1992 and Colorado River Storage Project Act of 1956 (P.L. 84-485).

T1  - WANAPA ENERGY CENTER, HERMISTON, OREGON.
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. LEGAL MANDATES: National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).

Construction activities would create 320 to 820 direct temporary jobs and 180 indirect jobs. Project operations would employ 30 permanent workers. 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. PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 03-0515D, Volume 28, Number 2.

T1  - Mineral investigations in the Aniak mining district, Southwestern Alaska, 2003 field season
AN  - 51790614; 2004-078999
AB  - The Aniak Mining District study area encompasses approximately 27 million acres (11 million hectares) in southwestern Alaska and includes part of the adjacent Anvik, Iditarod, Innoko, Marshall, and McGrath mining districts. 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.

T1  - FUTURE USE AND OPERATIONS OF LAKE BERRYESSA, NAPA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
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.

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.
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.

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.

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 3 of 3]
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  - 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.

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. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on the general MAGLEV development program, see 00-0427D, Volume 24, Number 4 and 01-0316F, Volume 25, Number 3, respectively.

T1  - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. [Part 77 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  - 36355262; 10479-030500_0077
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. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on the general MAGLEV development program, see 00-0427D, Volume 24, Number 4 and 01-0316F, Volume 25, Number 3, respectively.

T1  - FUTURE USE AND OPERATIONS OF LAKE BERRYESSA, NAPA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. [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.

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. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on the general MAGLEV development program, see 00-0427D, Volume 24, Number 4 and 01-0316F, Volume 25, Number 3, respectively.

T2  - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.
AN  - 36354644; 10479-030500_0082
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.

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.

T1  - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. [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. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on the general MAGLEV development program, see 00-0427D, Volume 24, Number 4 and 01-0316F, Volume 25, Number 3, respectively.

T1  - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. [Part 31 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  - 36353738; 10479-030500_0031
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. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on the general MAGLEV development program, see 00-0427D, Volume 24, Number 4 and 01-0316F, Volume 25, Number 3, respectively.

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. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

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. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. [Part 97 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  - 36353230; 10479-030500_0097
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.

T1  - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. [Part 58 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  - 36353047; 10479-030500_0058
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. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on the general MAGLEV development program, see 00-0427D, Volume 24, Number 4 and 01-0316F, Volume 25, Number 3, respectively.

AN  - 36352830; 10479-030500_0004
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. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on the general MAGLEV development program, see 00-0427D, Volume 24, Number 4 and 01-0316F, Volume 25, Number 3, respectively.

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. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on the general MAGLEV development program, see 00-0427D, Volume 24, Number 4 and 01-0316F, Volume 25, Number 3, respectively.

T2  - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.
AN  - 36352617; 10479-030500_0022
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.

T1  - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. [Part 19 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  - 36352414; 10479-030500_0019
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. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on the general MAGLEV development program, see 00-0427D, Volume 24, Number 4 and 01-0316F, Volume 25, Number 3, respectively.

T1  - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. [Part 24 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  - 36352341; 10479-030500_0024
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. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on the general MAGLEV development program, see 00-0427D, Volume 24, Number 4 and 01-0316F, Volume 25, Number 3, respectively.

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. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - FUTURE USE AND OPERATIONS OF LAKE BERRYESSA, NAPA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. [Part 1 of 2]
T2  - FUTURE USE AND OPERATIONS OF LAKE BERRYESSA, NAPA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36352151; 10480-030501_0001
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.

T2  - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.
AN  - 36352147; 10479-030500_0015
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.

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.

T1  - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. [Part 48 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  - 36352003; 10479-030500_0048
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. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on the general MAGLEV development program, see 00-0427D, Volume 24, Number 4 and 01-0316F, Volume 25, Number 3, respectively.

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. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

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. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. [Part 89 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  - 36351619; 10479-030500_0089
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.

T1  - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. [Part 35 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  - 36351416; 10479-030500_0035
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. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on the general MAGLEV development program, see 00-0427D, Volume 24, Number 4 and 01-0316F, Volume 25, Number 3, respectively.

T2  - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.
AN  - 36351264; 10479-030500_0021
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. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on the general MAGLEV development program, see 00-0427D, Volume 24, Number 4 and 01-0316F, Volume 25, Number 3, respectively.

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. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on the general MAGLEV development program, see 00-0427D, Volume 24, Number 4 and 01-0316F, Volume 25, Number 3, respectively.

T2  - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.
AN  - 36350974; 10479-030500_0012
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.

T1  - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. [Part 55 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  - 36350572; 10479-030500_0055
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. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on the general MAGLEV development program, see 00-0427D, Volume 24, Number 4 and 01-0316F, Volume 25, Number 3, respectively.

T1  - FUTURE RECREATION USE AND OPERATIONS OF LAKE BERRYESSA, NAPA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 16354620; 11731
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 final 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 designated 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 and Public Law 107-69.

T1  - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON MAGLEV PROJECT BETWEEN UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND THE CAMDEN YARDS AREA OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.
AN  - 15226090; 10479
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. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on the general MAGLEV development program, see 00-0427D, Volume 24, Number 4 and 01-0316F, Volume 25, Number 3, respectively.

T2  - NAVAJO NATIONAL MONUMENT, NAVAJO COUNTY, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36350422; 10477-030498_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for the Navajo National Monument in Navajo County, Arizona is proposed. The plan would guide monument management for the next 15 to 20 years. The monument was established to preserve three outstanding 13th Century cliff dwellings in northern Arizona, namely, Betatakin, Keet Seel, and Inscription House. These sites represent the largest, most intact Anasazi structures in the southwestern United States. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. The No Action Alternative would continue existing management practices. Alternative B would focus on National Park Service (NPS) land. Under Alternative B, the NPS would focus management on the existing land base to achieve the purposes of the monument. Primary resource protection and visitor understanding would be accomplished on the three federal units at Betatakin, Keet Seel, and Inscription House. Improvements to resource protection would be made with additional NPS ranger patrol staff and ranger stations. Visitor understanding would be improved via provision of a larger visitor center, development of more trails and overlooks, and installation of more outdoor exhibits and provision of interpretive rangers on the mesa top at Betatakin. Alternative C, the preferred alternative, would emphasize partnerships with American Indian tribes and local economic interests. The NPS would manage the existing land base and share common goals with American Indian tribes and others to protect resources and promote visitor understanding of the entire region. The NPS would look beyond the boundary of the monument in efforts to accomplish joint purposes through cooperation and partnerships. Opportunities for more innovative and diverse programs, education and outreach, cross training, and broader resource management would be greatly enhanced by a collaborative regional effort. The plan would emphasize cultural resource stewardship, natural resource protection and preservation, access for traditional Native American cultural purposes, and front country and backcountry experiences as well as the abovementioned partnerships. Other stipulations of the plan would cover conservation easements, facilities development, boundary modifications, and staffing. Estimated capital cost to implement Alternative C amount to $6.1 million. Estimated annual operating costs are estimated at $1.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would provide a foundation to help park managers guide programs and set priorities for resource stewardship, visitor understanding, partnerships with local interested parties, facilities development, and operations. Local employment rolls would increase by 86 jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Facilities development would disturb some natural vegetation as well as soils. Increased visitation would create increased risk of vandalism to cultural and natural resources. LEGAL MANDATES: Antiquities Act of 1906 (16 U.S.C. 431 et seq.) and Proclamation 873. PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 02-0398D, Volume 26, Number 4.

T1  - SANTA ROSA AND SAN JACINTO MOUNTAINS NATIONAL MONUMENT, RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
AN  - 16367241; 10469
AB  - PURPOSE: The establishment of a land and resource management plan for the 271,400-acre Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument in Riverside County, California is proposed. The national monument is located in southern California, approximately 100 miles east of Los Angeles. The monument encompasses 89,500 acres of land administered by the Bureau of Land Management as well as 65,000 acres Forest Service lands within the San Bernardino National Forest, 19,800 acres of land Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, 12,900 acres of California Department of Parks and Recreation land, 28,900 acres of California Department of Fish and Game lands, 7,500 acres of other lands administered by state agencies and 38,500 acres of private land. Five distinct "life zones", from Sonoran Desert of Arctic Alpine provide exceptionally diverse biological resources. The monument provides picturesque vistas and an abundance of recreational opportunities. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative D), are considered in this final EIS. Action alternatives extend from low-intensity management schemes to high-intensity schemes, largely addressing recreational uses of the monument. In addition to the No Action Alternative and the three action alternatives, an alternative combining all action alternatives is considered. A preferred plan is identified. Specific areas addressed in the play include biological resources, wildlife habitat noxious and invasive plant species, special status species, cultural resources, recreational resources, hunting, the Pacific Coast National Scenic Trail, geological resources, public education, scientific research, facilities, surface water and groundwater resources, and land acquisition. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would preserve the nationally significant biological, cultural, recreational, geological, educational, and scientific values found within the national monument. The activities of state and federal agencies administering the lands within the monument would be effectively coordinated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Certain management and facilities development activities would destroy vegetation and disturb soils and the associated wildlife habitat and result in erosion and sedimentation of receiving surface waters. Increased visitation would increase levels of noise and air pollutant emissions and disturbance of cultural resources, including resources of important to Native Americans. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1960 (P.L. 93-738), 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 Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-351).

T1  - CLARIFICATION OF LANGUAGE IN THE 1994 RECORD OF DECISION FOR THE NORTHWEST FOREST PLAN, NATIONAL FORESTS AND BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS WITHIN THE RANGE OF THE NORTHERN SPOTTED OWL, WESTERN OREGON AND WASHINGTON AND NORTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA: PROPOSAL TO AMEND WORDING ABOUT THE AQUATIC CONSERVATION STRATEGY (FINAL SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT).
AN  - 16352229; 10460
AB  - PURPOSE: A limited revision of the language within the Aquatic Conservation Strategy (ACS) portion of the Northwest Forest Plan within the range of the northern spotted owl is proposed. The forests covered by the plan include those in western Oregon and Washington and northwestern California. Projects needed to achieve the forest plan goals have been delayed or stopped due to misapplication of certain passages in the ACS. The projects have been delayed due to the fact that they may result in short-term, site-specific effects to aquatic or riparian habitats. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, is considered in this final supplemental EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative A), the proper scales for federal land managers to evaluate progress toward achievement of ACS objectives would be at the watershed and broader scales. No single project would be expected to achieve all ACS objectives. Decision-makers would be expected to design projects to follow the ACS. Project records would be required to contain evidence that projects comply with relevant standards and guidelines and would also be required to demonstrate the means by which the decision-maker used relevant information from applicable watershed analysis to provide context for the design and assessment of the project. References to ACS objectives in the standards and guidelines would not require that decision-makers find that site-scale projects, in themselves, would fully attain ACS objectives. The revisions would retain all existing components of the ACS, including those related to riparian reserves, key watersheds, watershed analysis, and watershed restoration. A monitoring plan would be implemented to asses progress toward attainment of ACS objectives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Ultimately, the preferred alternative would improve agency abilities to implement projects that meet the Northwest Forest Plan goals. The most important projects that would no longer be delayed due to misapplication of certain passages of the ACS would include those related to watershed restoration, timber management and harvest, and fuels reduction. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project measures, including timber harvest and prescribed burning to reduce fuel loadings and road construction related to these projects would result in short- and, in the case of permanent roads, long-term disturbance of soils and destruction of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. Project impacts would lie within the range of the northern spotted owl, a federally protected endangered species. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and Public Law 101-618, Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), and National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

For the abstract of another draft EIS within this series of EISs, see 03-0399D, Volume 27, Number 4.

AN  - 36385557; 10455-030475_0004
AB  - PURPOSE: The revision of the resource management plan for the 122,300-acre Colorado Canyons National Conservation Area (CCNCA) of Mesa County, Colorado is proposed. The area includes 75,550 acres of wilderness designated as the Black Ridge Canyons Wilderness, 5,200 acres of which extends into eastern Utah at the CCNCA's western boundary. A 24-mile reach of the Colorado River dissects the planning area, running along the northern edge of the Uncompahgre Plateau. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would perpetuate the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 3), an adaptive management approach, would focus on maintaining the current level of enjoyment of the study area's recreational opportunities and unique characteristics, while recognizing that increase future use will trigger the need for increased levels of management. Monitoring for land health and visitors' beneficial experiences would determine when increased levels of management were required. Objectives for this alternative include preserving the character of the area; preserving and enhancing traditional recreational activities, such as hiking, camping, mountain biking, off-highway vehicle use, horseback riding, hunting, and boating; maintaining land health and improving priority area of concern; and expanding educational and interpretive opportunities in high-use areas. Implementation actions, enhancing recreation while attending to the needs of conservation, would include incrementally moving toward concentrating activities in certain areas to control use, manage resource impacts, and minimize dispersed resource impacts; instituting systems for controlling visitation in high-use areas; and developing trains and adding facilities, as necessary, to restore natural resources impacted by excessive use. Specific areas addressed under the management plan include rights-of-way, geologic and topographic resources, soils, mineral and energy resources, water resources, climate and air quality, natural vegetation, weed management, forestry, wildlife habitat, fish and aquatic species habitat, special status species, rangeland and grazing, cultural resources, paleontological resources, and recreational resources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The resource management plan would conserve, protect, and enhance the special and unique values of the public lands making up the CCNCA, including the Black Ridge Canyons, Ruby Canyon, and Rabbit Valley. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction and use of recreational facilities, particularly as visitation to the area rises, would result in disturbance of soils and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. Increased visitation would also impair the enjoyment of wilderness resources for some dispersed recreationists. Continued grazing would result in further losses of vegetative habitat LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

T2  - UPPER DESCHUTES RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, JEFFERSON, KLAMATH, DESCHUTES, AND CROOK COUNTIES, OREGON.
AN  - 36385902; 10446-030466_0004
AB  - PURPOSE: The revision of the Brothers/La Pine and the Two Rivers resource management plans to address resources in the 404,000-acre Upper Deschutes Resource Management Area of Jefferson, Klamath, Deschutes, and Crook counties, Oregon is proposed. Most of the area under consideration lies within Deschutes County (57 percent) and Crook County (36 percent). Key issues identified during scoping include those related to ecosystem health, land uses, recreation resources, transportation and utility corridors, land ownership, public health and safety, archaeological resources, and socioeconomic values. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would perpetuate the current management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 7) would combine features of all other alternatives, placing an emphasis on wildlife habitat enhancement in the southeast or rural portion of the planning area, but also permitting year-round motorized use in much of that area. The alternative would focus on the separation of recreational uses over shared uses and the distribution of recreation areas relatively equally across the planning area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would build on areas of consensus established during the planning period and reflect a balance of uses that would meet the needs of local communities as well as national mandates for management of public lands. The plan would provide a mix of management emphases that provide for the needs related to the individual identities and social and economic values of local communities. The long-term military training needs of the Oregon National Guard would also be met, and management of livestock grazing would occur via a flexible framework that responds to conflicts and demands. Mineral resources development would be accommodated as appropriate. Recreational opportunities would be provided for both motorized and non-motorized recreationists. Wildlife and recreation management objectives would be fully integrated. Scientific approaches to ecosystem management would be adopted, and an aggressive approach to the management of hazardous fuels in the urban interface would be implemented. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Management activities and road construction would result in the loss of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat and disturbance of soils, increasing sediment loads in receiving surface flows in the short-term. Conflicts between recreationists and exploitative resource users would continue in some areas. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

Recent long-term demand estimated have indicated that demand for electric power in the Imperial Irrigation District (IID), the applicant, will increase at a rate of 20 to 30 megawatts annually. The estimates also indicate that California's peak electricity demand will increase at approximately two percent per year. New generation facilities have been completed in the region to the north and east of IID's service area that may provide a portion of IID's current and future demand requirements. Transmission access constitutes the main constraint to utilizing these new generation sources to meet the increased demand for electric power in IID's service area. The 500-kV line would use single-circuit technology supported by steel lattice structures, while the 230-kV line would use double-circuit technology supported by steel lattice structures, except in agricultural areas where single-steel pole structures would be used. The transmission line alignment would follow a generally east-west route from the new substation/switching station to the Devers Substation. The new substation/switching station would be located 4.5 miles west of town of Blythe. The project would also include modifications at the existing Devers Substation. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and four route alternatives, are considered in this draft EIS. A preferred route alternative has been selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The transmission line and new substation/switching station would provide increased transmission capacity to meet regional transmission requirements. Continued agricultural and industrial development in the IID service area would be supported and encouraged, enhance local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Substation/switching station construction and development of the transmission line would destroy vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, including desert tortoise habitat, and disturb soils, resulting in erosion and sedimentation of receiving surface flows. The proposed action would result in the temporary disturbance of 495 acres and the permanent displacement of 25 acres under the 230-kV option and in the temporary disturbance of 428 acres and the permanent displacement of 21 acres under the 500-kV option. The existence of the lines would present a collision hazard to raptors, including the federally protected bald eagle, and other bird species. Construction activities could result in the incidental take of federally protected species, including Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizards, flat-tailed horned lizards, Colorado fringe-toed lizards, desert rosy boa, Couch's spadefoots, borrowing owls, loggerhead shrikes, LeConte's thrashers, black-tailed gnatcatchers, prairie falcons, chuckwallas, and Coachella Valley round-tailed ground squirrels. Cultural and paleontological resource sites could be disturbed. The transmission lines would result in degradation of wilderness values and other recreational values and would generally mar visual aesthetics along the corridor.

T1  - Geomorphic map Arizona
AN  - 20992136; 7322185
AB  - A geomorphic map portrays surficial features or landforms that record geologic processes on the earth's surface. In fluvial geomorphology, these processes include erosion and deposition of sediment. Geomorphic landforms such as stream terraces and alluvial fans record sedimentary processes in a river system and are the basis for the delineations on the Geomorphic Map. For the Upper Gila River Fluvial Geomorphology Study, the Geomorphic Map will illustrate geomorphic features that will aid in understanding recent channel changes of the Gila River. The objective of the geomorphic map is to provide a picture of long-term river behavior in the Safford Valley and the Duncan Valley. Understanding long-term river behavior is useful for providing a comprehensive picture of river processes, placing recent channel changes into a long-term context, identifying causes of channel change and property loss in the historical period, and defining limits of channel migration. The accompanying maps present basic geomorphic data on black and white orthophotographs. The Geomorphic Map, along with the Catalog of Historical Changes (Task 7C), fieldwork, and laboratory analyses, will be combined in the Geomorphic Analysis (Task 10), a compilation of all geomorphic data developed in the Upper Gila River Fluvial Geomorphology Study.Existing geologic maps and reports (e.g., Aldridge, 1970; Culler and others, 1970; Davidson, 1961; Fair, 1961; Heindl, 1958; Houser, et al 1985; Knechtel, 1938; Weist, 1971) provide detailed information on bedrock, faults, mineral resources, Tertiary/Pleistocene geology, ground water, and hydrology, but do not provide the detailed geomorphic data necessary to meet the objectives of this project. The emphasis in this task was on defining limits to lateral channel migration and assessing channel stability. Geomorphic features that provide information on lateral migration and channel stability include flood-modified surfaces, bedrock, alluvial fans, and older floodplain surfaces. Infrastructure is also a major factor in channel position and behavior of the Upper Gila River (Klawon, 2001). Thus, the maps include levees, diversion dams, and bridges.

T1  - GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN, GRAND PORTAGE NATIONAL MONUMENT, COOK COUNTY, MINNESOTA. [Part 1 of 1]
T2  - GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN, GRAND PORTAGE NATIONAL MONUMENT, COOK COUNTY, MINNESOTA.
AN  - 36353662; 10434-030445_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for the Grand Portage National Monument in Cook County, Minnesota is proposed. The Monument consists of a nine-mile trail on the northwestern periphery of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River drainage connecting the lake shore to Fort Charlotte. The trail an important setting for the activities of the northern fur trade, a dynamic enterprise that forged diverse relationships between American Indian and non-Indian peoples as early as the 17th Century. Fort Charlotte was an embarkation point for voyagers heading west and a gathering point for furs going east. The portage was the most direct route from the Great Lakes into the Canadian interior. Several falls and cataracts cobked use of the Pigeon River by voyagers requiring the creation of the portage. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative E) would focus on three activity centers, namely the heritage center, the stockade, and a new Ojibwe Cultural Demonstration Shelter. In an effort to integrate the national monument into the community, the National ark Service and the Grand Portage Band would develop a "gateway" to the community of Grand Portage at the intersection of State Route 61 and County Road 17. This landscaped, redesigned intersection would welcome visitors to the community, the national monument, and the Grand Portage Casino. A new year-round heritage center would be built to introduce visitors to the national monument and to take modern functions out of the stockade. An Ojibwe Cultural Demonstration Shelter would interpret the rich and long-term story of the Ojibwe heritage, including contemporary heritage activities. Three structures would be reconstructed in the stockade area, and all other known structures would be outlined on the ground to help interpretive staff provide a more exciting and comprehensive story. The Fort Charlotte campsites would be upgraded. The Mount Rose trail would become a loop trail connecting to the new heritage center. The portage trail, which would also become a portion of a loop train connecting with the stockade and the 20th century Ojibwe village site, would be restored to semblance of its historic appearance. Estimated cost of the preferred alternative is in excess of $13.1 million. Costs of additional staff requirements are estimated at $333,000 per year. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Amongst the alternatives, Alternative E would offer the most intense interpretation of the monument's historical and cultural significance. An optimum balance would be struck between interpretation of the fur trade and the Ojibwe heritage and culture. The upper portions of the portage trail would continue to have a high degree of integrity, and removing the housing and maintenance buildings and rehabilitating the trail would enhance the historic setting. Active maintenance of the 20th century village landscape would allow them to exist in perpetuity. Connecting the portage trail to an overall interpretive trail would improve access to the portage and the community. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased visitation expected under Alternative E would increase wear on and other damage to the trails and vegetation and would increase the risk of damage to archaeological resources. Construction of the heritage center and Monument headquarters could affect three state-listed protected plant species. Blasting during construction could cause cliff faces to crumble or scree slopes to slide. The heritage center parking lot could change the shading and moisture retention of adjacent sites that provide soil for the listed plants. LEGAL MANDATES: National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (PL Chapter 408, 39 Stat 535) and Public Law 89-910. PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 02-0178D, Volume 26, Number 2.

T1  - SNAKE RIVER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, TETON COUNTY, WYOMING. [Part 1 of 1]
T2  - SNAKE RIVER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, TETON COUNTY, WYOMING.
AN  - 36353099; 10423-030433_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land use plan for the management of public lands and resources, including mineral estate, in the Jackson Hole area of Teton County, Wyoming is proposed. The 85,643-acre area, known as the Snake River Resource Management Area, lies approximately 80 miles northwest of Pinedale and is bounded on the east, south, and west by the Bridger-Teton National Forest and on the north by the Grand Teton National Park. Land management policies and litigation associated with the area has resulted in a scattering or parcels that currently remain in public ownership. Moreover, easements along the river have resulted in limitation of access. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to cooperative management, recreational opportunities, development of construction materials, and land ownership adjustment. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would perpetuate the current management regime, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative would address the management of air quality, cultural and natural history resources, fire, hazardous materials and wastes, lands and realty, livestock grazing, mineral resources, paleontological resources, visual resources, watershed resources, wildlife and fish habitat management, off-highway vehicle use, recreation resources, vegetation, and visual resources. For the most part, other action alternatives would address the same management issues. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would allow for an appropriate level of land use restrictions to protect resources and keep lands and resources available for public use; deal with the potential occurrence of mineral resources, such as sand, gravel, oil and gas, and gold; ensure consistency with other government agency policies governing the area; address the possibility of including portions of the Snake and Gros Ventre river corridors and their tributaries to be included within the National Wild and Scenic rivers System; and protect habitat for federally listed species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Land disturbances, particularly those due to mining and oil and gas development, would destroy vegetation, disturb soils, and result in the sedimentation of receiving surface waters in the short-term. The associated wildlife and fish habitat would also be degraded temporarily. Livestock grazing would affect vegetation and soils as well. Recreation resources would be degraded by mining and other activities. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 03-0155D, Volume 27, Number 2.

T1  - SNAKE RIVER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, TETON COUNTY, WYOMING.
AN  - 16349569; 10423
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land use plan for the management of public lands and resources, including mineral estate, in the Jackson Hole area of Teton County, Wyoming is proposed. The 85,643-acre area, known as the Snake River Resource Management Area, lies approximately 80 miles northwest of Pinedale and is bounded on the east, south, and west by the Bridger-Teton National Forest and on the north by the Grand Teton National Park. Land management policies and litigation associated with the area has resulted in a scattering or parcels that currently remain in public ownership. Moreover, easements along the river have resulted in limitation of access. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to cooperative management, recreational opportunities, development of construction materials, and land ownership adjustment. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would perpetuate the current management regime, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative would address the management of air quality, cultural and natural history resources, fire, hazardous materials and wastes, lands and realty, livestock grazing, mineral resources, paleontological resources, visual resources, watershed resources, wildlife and fish habitat management, off-highway vehicle use, recreation resources, vegetation, and visual resources. For the most part, other action alternatives would address the same management issues. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would allow for an appropriate level of land use restrictions to protect resources and keep lands and resources available for public use; deal with the potential occurrence of mineral resources, such as sand, gravel, oil and gas, and gold; ensure consistency with other government agency policies governing the area; address the possibility of including portions of the Snake and Gros Ventre river corridors and their tributaries to be included within the National Wild and Scenic rivers System; and protect habitat for federally listed species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Land disturbances, particularly those due to mining and oil and gas development, would destroy vegetation, disturb soils, and result in the sedimentation of receiving surface waters in the short-term. The associated wildlife and fish habitat would also be degraded temporarily. Livestock grazing would affect vegetation and soils as well. Recreation resources would be degraded by mining and other activities. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 03-0155D, Volume 27, Number 2.

T2  - JAMUL INDIAN VILLAGE, 101-ACRE FEE-TO-TRUST TRANSFER PROJECT AND CASINO PROJECT, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36353059; 10415-030424_0004
AB  - PURPOSE: The transfer into federal trust of three parcels of land, totaling approximately 101 acres, from the Jamul Indian Village in San Diego County, California is proposed. The village is located in southwestern San Diego County, approximately one mile south of the community of Jamul. The Tribe is also requesting that the National Indian Gaming Commission approve a Development and Management Contract between itself and Lakes Kean Argovitz Resorts-California, LLC. Development of the fee-to-trust parcels would include construction of tribal residences and a tribal government center, conservation measures to protect biological and cultural resources, development of a tribal fire department, construction of a 300-room hotel, and development of ancillary facilities to a casino that would be constructed on existing trust land. Construction the casino and an associated event center on the existing trust land would require the demolition of existing residences and the existing tribal government center. The development of a 205,194-square-foot casino and a 24,000-square-foot event center would take place on the existing Jamul Village site, with the remaining developments taking place on the adjacent parcels north of the existing trust property. Project infrastructure would include a 2,550-space parking garage, a 30,000-square-foot human resources building, employee and recreational vehicle and bus parking areas, a wastewater treatment and disposal facility, and a fire station. North of Melody Road, 18 homes would be constructed to replace the existing village homes displaced due to casino development. The 10,000-square-foot Tribal government and health center would be constructed north of Melody Road as well. Site development would occur in two phases; the majority of the components would be developed during the first phase beginning in 2003, while the hotel, event center, and employee parking area would not be developed until the second phase beginning in 2009. In addition to the proposed action (Alternative A), this final EIS considers five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative E). POSITIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the casino, event center, and hotel and related commercial establishments that would spring up around these facilities would vastly improve the economic situation of the Tribe, increasing direct revenues into tribal coffers as well as providing employment for members of the Tribe. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The demolition of housing would cause discomfort for residents in the short-term. The project would require disturbance and displacement of soils and vegetation, some of which provides wildlife habitat. Water and energy consumption in the area would rise significantly, as would the level of sewage and solid waste generation. LEGAL MANDATES: Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 03-0153D, Volume 27, Number 2.

T1  - JAMUL INDIAN VILLAGE, 101-ACRE FEE-TO-TRUST TRANSFER PROJECT AND CASINO PROJECT, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 15226434; 10415
AB  - PURPOSE: The transfer into federal trust of three parcels of land, totaling approximately 101 acres, from the Jamul Indian Village in San Diego County, California is proposed. The village is located in southwestern San Diego County, approximately one mile south of the community of Jamul. The Tribe is also requesting that the National Indian Gaming Commission approve a Development and Management Contract between itself and Lakes Kean Argovitz Resorts-California, LLC. Development of the fee-to-trust parcels would include construction of tribal residences and a tribal government center, conservation measures to protect biological and cultural resources, development of a tribal fire department, construction of a 300-room hotel, and development of ancillary facilities to a casino that would be constructed on existing trust land. Construction the casino and an associated event center on the existing trust land would require the demolition of existing residences and the existing tribal government center. The development of a 205,194-square-foot casino and a 24,000-square-foot event center would take place on the existing Jamul Village site, with the remaining developments taking place on the adjacent parcels north of the existing trust property. Project infrastructure would include a 2,550-space parking garage, a 30,000-square-foot human resources building, employee and recreational vehicle and bus parking areas, a wastewater treatment and disposal facility, and a fire station. North of Melody Road, 18 homes would be constructed to replace the existing village homes displaced due to casino development. The 10,000-square-foot Tribal government and health center would be constructed north of Melody Road as well. Site development would occur in two phases; the majority of the components would be developed during the first phase beginning in 2003, while the hotel, event center, and employee parking area would not be developed until the second phase beginning in 2009. In addition to the proposed action (Alternative A), this final EIS considers five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative E). POSITIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the casino, event center, and hotel and related commercial establishments that would spring up around these facilities would vastly improve the economic situation of the Tribe, increasing direct revenues into tribal coffers as well as providing employment for members of the Tribe. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The demolition of housing would cause discomfort for residents in the short-term. The project would require disturbance and displacement of soils and vegetation, some of which provides wildlife habitat. Water and energy consumption in the area would rise significantly, as would the level of sewage and solid waste generation. LEGAL MANDATES: Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - WYOMING FOREST HIGHWAY 4, U.S. (KP 39.5 TO KP 69.4), THE BEARTOOTH HIGHWAY, PARK COUNTY, WYOMING.
AN  - 36426441; 10403
AB  - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of a portion of the Beartooth Highway in Park County, Wyoming is proposed. The Beartooth Highway extends 67 miles from the northeast entrance to Yellowstone National Park to Red Lodge, Montana. The segment proposed for reconstruction begins at mile post 24.5, just west of the Clay Butte Lookout turnoff, traverses Beartooth Pass, and ends at the Montana/Wyoming state line at mile post 43.1. The highway passes through the Shoshone National Forest. This segment of highway has not been subject to any major improvements since the 1930s. The road has deteriorated significantly and does not accommodate current vehicle types or volumes. The reconstruction project would lie within the existing road corridor and would provide improved alignment, grade, and width to meet state standards. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. All build alternatives would follow the existing alignment closely in most locations. Options for realignment or road construction in six areas are considered. Some build alternatives have alignment options designed to avoid wetlands, to reduce visual impacts, or to provide a more consistent alignment. A work camp is proposed for use by employees during the six-year construction period. The preferred alternative (Alternative 6) would balance highway operations, safety and maintenance needs with minimization of environmental impacts. The roadway width would be 32 feet in the western portion of the corridor and 26 feet in the alpine areas of the eastern portion. Construction would begin in 2004 and continue for six years. Cost of construction of the preferred alternative is estimated at $47.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would maintain and improve an efficient transportation link between Red Lodge and the Yellowstone National park that would safely accommodate projected traffic through the year 2025. Maintenance of the highway would be eased significantly, and the roadway would better support management of national forest lands adjacent to the road. The scenic nature of the road would be preserved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way developments would disturb 173 to 194 acres of previously undisturbed areas. Anticipated effects would include disturbance of six to 8 acres of wetlands and the permanent loss of 17 to 22 acres of alpine meadows and 17 to 24 acres of grizzly bear habitat. All build alternatives would alter the footprint and location of the historic roadway and all alternatives, excepting one, would remove four historic bridges. The exceptional alternative would require removal of three of the bridges. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Endangered Species Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), Clean Water Act of 1977 (P.L. 95-217), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 7600 et seq.).

T2  - BLACK ROCK DESERT-HIGH ROCK CANYON EMIGRANT TRAILS NATIONAL CONSERVATION AREA AND ASSOCIATED WILDERNESS AND OTHER CONTIGUOUS LANDS IN NEVADA.
AN  - 36350498; 10438-030408_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a resource management plan for the Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trail National Conservation Area and associated wilderness and other contiguous lands in Nevada is proposed. The 1.2-million-acre conservation area in northwestern Nevada includes 815,000 acres designated as a National Conservation Area and 752,000 acres in 10 wilderness areas; 378,000 acres in the wilderness areas overlap with the conservation areas. The conservation area and associated wilderness areas were created specifically to protect one of the last nationally significant segments of the historic emigrant trails used by pioneers to travel from the eastern United States to Oregon and California. The landscape has largely remained unchanged since the mid-1800s. The area contains an array of unique historic, cultural, educational, wildlife, riparian, and wilderness resources, as well as habitat for federally protected species and recreational values. Grazing and special recreational permit events are also part of the management mandate. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action alternative (Alternative D) would emphasize the provision of visitor opportunities to experience, in a self-directed fashion, what the emigrants and other early visitors to the area experienced in the mid-1980s. A zoning system would be implemented; however, restrictions on recreational activity would be applied as necessary to mitigate resource damage. Existing transportation routes would be brought up to standard. Off-highway vehicle use would be limited in some areas and some areas would be closed. Cultural and paleontological resources would be managed more aggressively through inventories and cataloguing according to resource type to emphasize public use. Some restrictions would apply in wilderness areas and areas of critical environmental concern, and activities in these areas would be limited; boundary adjustments would be made to both types of areas. Other management stipulations would address vegetation, wildland fire, grazing allotments, wildlife water developments, utility rights-of-way and land use permits, mineral resource exploitation, and partnerships to provide support services and encourage research. POSITIVE IMPACTS: As compared to the current management regime (No Action Alternative), the proposed alternative would more readily identify and accommodate changing conditions over time by allowing the application of management decisions responsive to these changing conditions. The alternative would provide managers with the flexibility to respond to increasing visitation and resource deterioration that could occur over time. Habitat for wildlife would benefit from increased management protection. Grazing operator flexibility would generally be maintained; areas grazed at the time of the establishment of the authorizing legislation would be maintained. Increased visitation and facility developments in the area would provide significant employment opportunities and otherwise boost the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Access restrictions would affect some users. Increase in recreational visitation would increase disturbance of vegetation, soils, and the associated wildlife habitat, as well as increased disturbance of cultural resource sites. Management activities would result in some limited reductions in experiences of solitude, naturalness, and the outstandingly remarkable values associated with streams eligible for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. LEGAL MANDATES: Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trail National Conservation Act of 2000 and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

AN  - 36350157; 10438-030408_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a resource management plan for the Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trail National Conservation Area and associated wilderness and other contiguous lands in Nevada is proposed. The 1.2-million-acre conservation area in northwestern Nevada includes 815,000 acres designated as a National Conservation Area and 752,000 acres in 10 wilderness areas; 378,000 acres in the wilderness areas overlap with the conservation areas. The conservation area and associated wilderness areas were created specifically to protect one of the last nationally significant segments of the historic emigrant trails used by pioneers to travel from the eastern United States to Oregon and California. The landscape has largely remained unchanged since the mid-1800s. The area contains an array of unique historic, cultural, educational, wildlife, riparian, and wilderness resources, as well as habitat for federally protected species and recreational values. Grazing and special recreational permit events are also part of the management mandate. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action alternative (Alternative D) would emphasize the provision of visitor opportunities to experience, in a self-directed fashion, what the emigrants and other early visitors to the area experienced in the mid-1980s. A zoning system would be implemented; however, restrictions on recreational activity would be applied as necessary to mitigate resource damage. Existing transportation routes would be brought up to standard. Off-highway vehicle use would be limited in some areas and some areas would be closed. Cultural and paleontological resources would be managed more aggressively through inventories and cataloguing according to resource type to emphasize public use. Some restrictions would apply in wilderness areas and areas of critical environmental concern, and activities in these areas would be limited; boundary adjustments would be made to both types of areas. Other management stipulations would address vegetation, wildland fire, grazing allotments, wildlife water developments, utility rights-of-way and land use permits, mineral resource exploitation, and partnerships to provide support services and encourage research. POSITIVE IMPACTS: As compared to the current management regime (No Action Alternative), the proposed alternative would more readily identify and accommodate changing conditions over time by allowing the application of management decisions responsive to these changing conditions. The alternative would provide managers with the flexibility to respond to increasing visitation and resource deterioration that could occur over time. Habitat for wildlife would benefit from increased management protection. Grazing operator flexibility would generally be maintained; areas grazed at the time of the establishment of the authorizing legislation would be maintained. Increased visitation and facility developments in the area would provide significant employment opportunities and otherwise boost the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Access restrictions would affect some users. Increase in recreational visitation would increase disturbance of vegetation, soils, and the associated wildlife habitat, as well as increased disturbance of cultural resource sites. Management activities would result in some limited reductions in experiences of solitude, naturalness, and the outstandingly remarkable values associated with streams eligible for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.

T1  - GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT FOR GREEN SPRING - COLONIAL NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, JAMES CITY COUNTY, VIRGINIA. [Part 1 of 1]
T2  - GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT FOR GREEN SPRING - COLONIAL NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, JAMES CITY COUNTY, VIRGINIA.
AN  - 36348826; 10399-030406_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan amendment for Green Spring Colonial National Historical Park, James City County, Virginia is proposed. The historically rich 200-acre archaeological site is located three miles from the Jamestown Unit of Colonial National Historical Park. As the home of Sir William Berkeley, the most influential governor of Virginia in the 17th Century, Green Spring illustrates the expansion of British culture beyond Jamestown and is integral to the story of the first permanent English settlement. Berkeley served 27 years as governor and was a pivotal figure in establishing a civil society based on English law though modified to meet the challenges of frontier society. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A) that would perpetuate the current management regime, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative C) would take full advantage of Green Spring's landscape and site-wide archaeological features to provide visitors a window into the plantation and its essential components. Based on a thorough research process, during which visitors would be invited to engage archaeologists and scholars in their discoveries, The site would be rehabilitated and managed to evoke, without reconstruction, a landscape suggestive of the site. this alternative would involve the highest degree of intervention in the landscape, based on results of site analysis, historical research, and archaeological and cultural landscape studies that focus on the spatial organization and physical resources at the site. This alternative would require significant commitments to make archaeological work visible on-site, including temporary archaeological enclosures, to shelter resources during process excavation, and to provide a support facility for archaeologists. Consistent with this approach to interpretation and overall site improvement, significant levels of visitation would be anticipated, requiring the construction of a visitor contact station and appropriate visitor services. The archaeological support facility required for the first stage of development would later serve as the visitor contact station. The approach to be taken would require cooperation with local officials to remove Centerville Road, which detracts from the safety and quality of the surrounding area and is inconsistent with the landscape character implicit in this alternative. Capital costs of implementing the preferred plan are estimated at $3.1 million. Annual operation and maintenance costs are estimated at $608,125 POSITIVE IMPACTS: Protection, preservation, and interpretation of the plantation site would be ensured and enhanced. The importance of the plantation in African-American and Native American history would be emphasized. Increased visitation would increase recreational expenditures in local communities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rehabilitation of the cultural landscape could result in short- and long-term disturbances to soil and vegetation and alteration of topography in some areas. Loss of forest could result in localized stream temperature increases, deposits of suspended sediments, and addition of organic matter and nutrients to Powhatan Creek. Water quality within the spring on the property could be affected by landscape rehabilitation and management and increased visitor use. The primary and secondary ecological zones within the Powhatan Creek Natural Area could be adversely affected by utilities excavation, road removal, and construction related to road improvements. Palustrine forested wetlands in the southern and western portions of the site could be affected by overuse of trails, tree clearing, selective tree removal, landscape rehabilitation, and road improvements. Archaeological resources and cultural landscape features could be affected by road removal, and the road itself may constitute an historic resource. Up to 14 acres of prime farmland could be displaced by archaeological investigations. Traffic patterns in the areas would be altered, and bicyclists and pedestrians would have to seek alternative, and more dangerous, routes due to road closure. Increase visitation could result in increased vandalism and other forms of damage to resources. LEGAL MANDATES: Public Law 74-666.

T2  - LIVING WITH THE RIVER: SCHUYLKILL RIVER VALLEY NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA, BERKS, CHESTER, MONTGOMERY, PHILADELPHIA, AND SCHUYLKILL COUNTIES, PENNSYLVANIA.
AN  - 36348738; 10360-030365_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The establishment of a land and resource management plan for the Schuylkill River Valley National Heritage Area Berks, Chester, Montgomery, Philadelphia, and Schuylkill counties, Pennsylvania is proposed. A variety of peoples, including the Leni Lenapi Native American tribe, the first European settlers, and many other ethnic groups, have migrated to the Schuylkill region over time. The area's abundant natural resources and productive soils made it an early industrial center and breadbasket for the colonies. During the American Revolution, the perseverance and sacrifice of George Washington's army at Valley Forge played a key role in the birth of the nation. The Schuylkill River and canal system were major arteries of the Industrial Revolution. The valley includes abundant cultural, natural, and recreational resources. In 1995, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania designated river and its major tributaries as a Heritage Corridor under the Heritage Parks Program, and the Schuylkill Heritage Corridor Management Action Plan was prepared. In 2000, the US Congress acknowledged the valley's national significance by designating the Schuylkill River National Heritage Area. Goals and strategies identified as pertinent to the plan during scoping include those related to resource conservation and enhancement, education and interpretation, recreation, community revitalization, and heritage tourism. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred plan (Alternative D) would provide a management framework and guide for decision-making by the Schuylkill River Greenway Association. Program actins would develop programmatic linkages to build the regional identity and image of the heritage area, work toward completion of the Schuylkill River Trail System, continue to develop a heritage gateway system, and work through the Schuylkill River Watershed Network or other partnership arrangements to initiate at least two additional projects of area-wide significance. Estimated cost of the proposed program is $2.95 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The management plan would provide valuable recreational and educational experiences for local residents and visitors to the area, increase tourism and otherwise boost the local economy. Area cultural resources, including historical, archaeological, and natural resources, would be preserved and protected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Though no unavoidable adverse impacts have been identified for any of the four alternatives at this time, it is likely that projects resulting from implementation of the management plan will have to undergo separate environmental review at which time unavoidable adverse impacts could be identified. LEGAL MANDATES: National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 03-0297D, Volume 27, Number 3.

T1  - LIVING WITH THE RIVER: SCHUYLKILL RIVER VALLEY NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA, BERKS, CHESTER, MONTGOMERY, PHILADELPHIA, AND SCHUYLKILL COUNTIES, PENNSYLVANIA.
AN  - 16364524; 10360
AB  - PURPOSE: The establishment of a land and resource management plan for the Schuylkill River Valley National Heritage Area Berks, Chester, Montgomery, Philadelphia, and Schuylkill counties, Pennsylvania is proposed. A variety of peoples, including the Leni Lenapi Native American tribe, the first European settlers, and many other ethnic groups, have migrated to the Schuylkill region over time. The area's abundant natural resources and productive soils made it an early industrial center and breadbasket for the colonies. During the American Revolution, the perseverance and sacrifice of George Washington's army at Valley Forge played a key role in the birth of the nation. The Schuylkill River and canal system were major arteries of the Industrial Revolution. The valley includes abundant cultural, natural, and recreational resources. In 1995, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania designated river and its major tributaries as a Heritage Corridor under the Heritage Parks Program, and the Schuylkill Heritage Corridor Management Action Plan was prepared. In 2000, the US Congress acknowledged the valley's national significance by designating the Schuylkill River National Heritage Area. Goals and strategies identified as pertinent to the plan during scoping include those related to resource conservation and enhancement, education and interpretation, recreation, community revitalization, and heritage tourism. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred plan (Alternative D) would provide a management framework and guide for decision-making by the Schuylkill River Greenway Association. Program actins would develop programmatic linkages to build the regional identity and image of the heritage area, work toward completion of the Schuylkill River Trail System, continue to develop a heritage gateway system, and work through the Schuylkill River Watershed Network or other partnership arrangements to initiate at least two additional projects of area-wide significance. Estimated cost of the proposed program is $2.95 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The management plan would provide valuable recreational and educational experiences for local residents and visitors to the area, increase tourism and otherwise boost the local economy. Area cultural resources, including historical, archaeological, and natural resources, would be preserved and protected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Though no unavoidable adverse impacts have been identified for any of the four alternatives at this time, it is likely that projects resulting from implementation of the management plan will have to undergo separate environmental review at which time unavoidable adverse impacts could be identified. LEGAL MANDATES: National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 03-0297D, Volume 27, Number 3.

AB  - PURPOSE: The transfer of irrigation facilities and rights of the Wellton-Mohawk Division (Division) of the Gila project from Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) in Yuma County, Arizona is proposed. The Division serves the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation and Drainage District, which as repaid the federal costs of construction of the division. The District, which covers an area 45 miles in length and as much as seven miles in width, encompasses an area of 130,000 acres. Reclamation proposed to transfer ownership of half of the Division's irrigation, drainage, and flood control facilities to the District, transfer certain lands acquired for the Division on behalf of Reclamation to the District, and make certain other lands acquired in connection with the Division available for purchase by the District. In addition to the proposal, this draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternative, under which facilities of the Division and lands within or adjacent o the Gila Project would remain in federal ownership. Under the proposed action, the following facilities would be transferred: irrigation canals and laterals extending throughout the District; the Wellton-Mohawk Conveyance Channel (main drain) and various small drains; protective dikes that prevent damage to canals from overland runoff; floodways that convey overland runoff to the Gila River channel; the Gila River Flood Channel and related mitigation areas; and various buildings used for the operation and maintenance of the Division. Lands to be transferred include rights-of-way, lands under easement, and lands acquired or withdrawn by Reclamation; a total of 29,091 acres of rights-of-way and easements would be transferred. The costs of land acquisition were not included in the District's repayment obligation. Consequently, these lands, totaling 28,237 acres, would be made available for the District to purchase at fair market value. The potential for the development of sand and gravel operations in the area would continue. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The land and facilities transfer would follow Reclamation policy to make such transfers when the transferred resources are not identified as having national importance and can be efficiently and effectively managed by nonfederal entities. Reclamation costs for operating, maintaining, managing, and regulating the affected lands and resources would be eliminated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Future sand and gravel developments would not require compliance with federal regulations promulgated under the National Environmental Policy Act. Biological resource impacts resulting from projects in the area would no longer fall under protections afforded by the Endangered Species Act, excepting developments in Gila River Flood Channel lands Federal protection for cultural resources would also be lost LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Gila Project Act of 1947 (P.L. 272), and Wellton-Mohawk Transfer Act of 2000 (P.L.106-221).

AB  - PURPOSE: The transfer of irrigation facilities and rights of the Wellton-Mohawk Division (Division) of the Gila project from Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) in Yuma County, Arizona is proposed. The Division serves the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation and Drainage District, which as repaid the federal costs of construction of the division. The District, which covers an area 45 miles in length and as much as seven miles in width, encompasses an area of 130,000 acres. Reclamation proposed to transfer ownership of half of the Division's irrigation, drainage, and flood control facilities to the District, transfer certain lands acquired for the Division on behalf of Reclamation to the District, and make certain other lands acquired in connection with the Division available for purchase by the District. In addition to the proposal, this draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternative, under which facilities of the Division and lands within or adjacent o the Gila Project would remain in federal ownership. Under the proposed action, the following facilities would be transferred: irrigation canals and laterals extending throughout the District; the Wellton-Mohawk Conveyance Channel (main drain) and various small drains; protective dikes that prevent damage to canals from overland runoff; floodways that convey overland runoff to the Gila River channel; the Gila River Flood Channel and related mitigation areas; and various buildings used for the operation and maintenance of the Division. Lands to be transferred include rights-of-way, lands under easement, and lands acquired or withdrawn by Reclamation; a total of 29,091 acres of rights-of-way and easements would be transferred. The costs of land acquisition were not included in the District's repayment obligation. Consequently, these lands, totaling 28,237 acres, would be made available for the District to purchase at fair market value. The potential for the development of sand and gravel operations in the area would continue. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The land and facilities transfer would follow Reclamation policy to make such transfers when the transferred resources are not identified as having national importance and can be efficiently and effectively managed by nonfederal entities. Reclamation costs for operating, maintaining, managing, and regulating the affected lands and resources would be eliminated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Future sand and gravel developments would not require compliance with federal regulations promulgated under the National Environmental Policy Act. Biological resource impacts resulting from projects in the area would no longer fall under protections afforded by the Endangered Species Act, excepting developments in Gila River Flood Channel lands Federal protection for cultural resources would also be lost LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Gila Project Act of 1947 (P.L. 272), and Wellton-Mohawk Transfer Act of 2000 (P.L.106-221).

AB  - PURPOSE: The transfer of irrigation facilities and rights of the Wellton-Mohawk Division (Division) of the Gila project from Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) in Yuma County, Arizona is proposed. The Division serves the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation and Drainage District, which as repaid the federal costs of construction of the division. The District, which covers an area 45 miles in length and as much as seven miles in width, encompasses an area of 130,000 acres. Reclamation proposed to transfer ownership of half of the Division's irrigation, drainage, and flood control facilities to the District, transfer certain lands acquired for the Division on behalf of Reclamation to the District, and make certain other lands acquired in connection with the Division available for purchase by the District. In addition to the proposal, this draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternative, under which facilities of the Division and lands within or adjacent o the Gila Project would remain in federal ownership. Under the proposed action, the following facilities would be transferred: irrigation canals and laterals extending throughout the District; the Wellton-Mohawk Conveyance Channel (main drain) and various small drains; protective dikes that prevent damage to canals from overland runoff; floodways that convey overland runoff to the Gila River channel; the Gila River Flood Channel and related mitigation areas; and various buildings used for the operation and maintenance of the Division. Lands to be transferred include rights-of-way, lands under easement, and lands acquired or withdrawn by Reclamation; a total of 29,091 acres of rights-of-way and easements would be transferred. The costs of land acquisition were not included in the District's repayment obligation. Consequently, these lands, totaling 28,237 acres, would be made available for the District to purchase at fair market value. The potential for the development of sand and gravel operations in the area would continue. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The land and facilities transfer would follow Reclamation policy to make such transfers when the transferred resources are not identified as having national importance and can be efficiently and effectively managed by nonfederal entities. Reclamation costs for operating, maintaining, managing, and regulating the affected lands and resources would be eliminated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Future sand and gravel developments would not require compliance with federal regulations promulgated under the National Environmental Policy Act. Biological resource impacts resulting from projects in the area would no longer fall under protections afforded by the Endangered Species Act, excepting developments in Gila River Flood Channel lands Federal protection for cultural resources would also be lost LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Gila Project Act of 1947 (P.L. 272), and Wellton-Mohawk Transfer Act of 2000 (P.L.106-221).

AN  - 16367261; 10395
AB  - PURPOSE: The transfer of irrigation facilities and rights of the Wellton-Mohawk Division (Division) of the Gila project from Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) in Yuma County, Arizona is proposed. The Division serves the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation and Drainage District, which as repaid the federal costs of construction of the division. The District, which covers an area 45 miles in length and as much as seven miles in width, encompasses an area of 130,000 acres. Reclamation proposed to transfer ownership of half of the Division's irrigation, drainage, and flood control facilities to the District, transfer certain lands acquired for the Division on behalf of Reclamation to the District, and make certain other lands acquired in connection with the Division available for purchase by the District. In addition to the proposal, this draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternative, under which facilities of the Division and lands within or adjacent o the Gila Project would remain in federal ownership. Under the proposed action, the following facilities would be transferred: irrigation canals and laterals extending throughout the District; the Wellton-Mohawk Conveyance Channel (main drain) and various small drains; protective dikes that prevent damage to canals from overland runoff; floodways that convey overland runoff to the Gila River channel; the Gila River Flood Channel and related mitigation areas; and various buildings used for the operation and maintenance of the Division. Lands to be transferred include rights-of-way, lands under easement, and lands acquired or withdrawn by Reclamation; a total of 29,091 acres of rights-of-way and easements would be transferred. The costs of land acquisition were not included in the District's repayment obligation. Consequently, these lands, totaling 28,237 acres, would be made available for the District to purchase at fair market value. The potential for the development of sand and gravel operations in the area would continue. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The land and facilities transfer would follow Reclamation policy to make such transfers when the transferred resources are not identified as having national importance and can be efficiently and effectively managed by nonfederal entities. Reclamation costs for operating, maintaining, managing, and regulating the affected lands and resources would be eliminated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Future sand and gravel developments would not require compliance with federal regulations promulgated under the National Environmental Policy Act. Biological resource impacts resulting from projects in the area would no longer fall under protections afforded by the Endangered Species Act, excepting developments in Gila River Flood Channel lands Federal protection for cultural resources would also be lost LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Gila Project Act of 1947 (P.L. 272), and Wellton-Mohawk Transfer Act of 2000 (P.L.106-221).

T2  - PICTURED ROCKS NATIONAL LAKESHORE, ALGER COUNTY, MICHIGAN.
AN  - 36380741; 10384-030391_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a revised management plan for Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Alger County, Michigan is proposed. The national lakeshore is situated in the north-central section of Michigan's Upper Peninsula along the 42 miles of the south shoreline of Lake Superior between the communities of Munising and Grand Marais. The shoreline is known for its spectacular multicolored sandstone cliffs in the western portion of the lakeshore. The eastern portion of the lakeshore contains the perched Grand Sable Dunes, which rise more than 300 feet above the lake. The last comprehensive management plan for the national lakeshore, which was established in October 1966, was completed in 1981. Since 1981, visitor use patterns and types, the former Coast Guard property in Grand Marais and Munising was added to the national lakeshore, the development of a scenic drive has been prohibited legislatively, and revised National Park Service management policies allow the possibility of recommending some of the lakeshore's lands and waters for designation as wilderness. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would perpetuate the current management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. The chosen alternative would direct park management for the next 15 years. The preferred alternative (Alternative D) would provide additional and more convenient access to significant national lakeshore features, thereby expanding opportunities for visitor use of the lakeshore. The plan would continue to restore the national lakeshore to as natural a state as possible. Natural ecological processes would be allowed to continue, and restoration programs would be initiated. Federal lands in the Beaver Basin area would be proposed for designation as wilderness; approximately 18 percent of the lakeshore would be proposed for designation as wilderness. Vehicular access to Little Beaver Lake campground would remain; however, structures within the proposed wilderness would be removed. Other roads in Beaver Basin would be closed and converted to trails or allowed to revert to natural conditions. To accommodate the possible increase in visitor use and to improve access within the portion of the lakeshore not proposed for wilderness, certain roads, including portions of County Road H-58, would be upgraded, and a campground would be added to the Miners area. Operational facilities would be consolidated at the ends of the national lakeshore for efficiency. Initial capital costs for the preferred alternative are estimated at $23.1 million. Life-cycle costs for a 25-year management period under the preferred alternative are estimated at $49.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would preserve and provide public access to the museum collection and provide greater protection for the national lakshore's cultural resources. Designated wilderness areas would be maintained in a pristine state in perpetuity. Primitive driving and other recreational opportunities would be enhanced. Life-cycle cost expenditures would contribute to the overall economy of Alger County. Access to lakeshore recreational resources by handicapped persons would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Visitor use restrictions would reduce the level of motorboating opportunities, including opportunities to visit Twelve-mile beach adjacent to the recommended wilderness area via motorized boats. The scenic character of County Road H-58 could be degraded. LEGAL MANDATES: National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (16 U.S.C. 1 et seq.), Public Law 89-668, and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

AN  - 36350303; 10373-030379_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The exchange of federal coal in northern Sheridan County, Wyoming for lands and minerals in Sheridan, Carbon, and Lincoln counties, Wyoming owned by the Pittsburg and Midway Coal Mining Company (P&M) is proposed. On February 4, 1999, P&M filed a proposal to exchange the land, administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). P&M owns approximately 5,858.5 acres of surface estate and portions of mineral estate on lands in the abovementioned counties. P&M has offered to transfer approximately 3,086 acres of surface estate and 3,086 acres of mineral estate to U.S. ownership. Approximately 2,446 acres on offer in Lincoln County are situated within the Bridger-Teton National Forest and would fall under the administration of the U.S. Forest Service if the exchange is completed. The remaining 638 acres would be administered by the BLM. The 1,233.5 acres on offer in Carbon County and the 1,539 acres of surface estate and 808 acres of coal estate on offer in Sheridan County would be administered by the BLM after transfer to the federal government. In exchange, P&M would acquire 2,045.5 acres of federal coal estate and land in Sheridan County. The two most important considerations in evaluating a land exchange proposal are whether the exchange is in the public interest and whether the value of the interests being acquired are of equal value with respect to the lands or interests being conveyed to private ownership. The P&M proposal and a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, P&M would mine the coal in the Sheridan County tract. Approximately 107 million tons of recoverable coal would be mined. P&M would then expand its mining operations into adjacent private coal reserves during the later period of the mine life. The coal would be mined via shovel-and-truck equipment. An overland conveyor would transport coal to a unit train loadout facility on the Burlington-Northern and Sante Fe mainline south of the mining operation. After the coal was removed, the mined-out area would be reclaimed in accordance with federal law. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Coal provided by the mining operation would add to the national reserves of this valuable energy resource, reducing the nation's dependence on foreign sources of energy. Mining activities would employ an average of 70 workers. State, county, and federal revenues resulting from taxes and other fees would amount to $99.0 million, $6.0 million, and $53.0 million, respectively. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities would disturb 2,595 acres of land, potentially affecting cultural resources, religious sites of importance to Native Americans, habitat for threatened and endangered species, wetlands and other riparian areas, and areas of critical environmental concern. The project could also disturb hazardous and /or solid waste sites, affect groundwater and surface water quality, and result in proliferation of invasive non-native plant species. Environmental justice with respect to minorities and low-income residences could also be a concern. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act (P.L. 106-248) and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 02-0257D, Volume 26, Number 3.

State, county, and federal revenues resulting from taxes and other fees would amount to $99.0 million, $6.0 million, and $53.0 million, respectively. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities would disturb 2,595 acres of land, potentially affecting cultural resources, religious sites of importance to Native Americans, habitat for threatened and endangered species, wetlands and other riparian areas, and areas of critical environmental concern. The project could also disturb hazardous and /or solid waste sites, affect groundwater and surface water quality, and result in proliferation of invasive non-native plant species. Environmental justice with respect to minorities and low-income residences could also be a concern. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act (P.L. 106-248) and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).

AB  - PURPOSE: The salvage harvesting of timber burned in the Timber Rock Fire and the implementation of a restoration plan for the Elk Creek watershed of the Butte Falls Resource Area, Medford District, Oregon are proposed. The Elk Creek watershed, the associated late-successional reserve, and the Timbered Rock Fire are located approximately 20 miles east of Medford. The Timber Rock Fire, which began July 13, 2002, burned over approximately 27,000 acres, 12,000 acres of which are administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The remaining acreage consists of 11,000 acres of private industrial forest land, 600 acres administered by the US Army Corps of Engineers, 2,600 administered by the US Forest Service within the Rogue River National Forest, and a scattering of private holdings managed for various purposes. The study area for the salvage and restoration plan includes only public lands administered by the BLM. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to recovery of the economic value of fire-killed trees, reduction of fuel loading within the watershed, the levels of coarse woody debris and snags, the condition of late-successional forest habitat, cumulative impacts of fire and activity on commercial timberlands, road density and delivery of sediment to streams, and threatened, endangered, and other sensitive species. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative B would provide for no salvage harvesting. Alternatives C through G would provide employ specific guidance related to post-fire salvage and/or late-successional reserve guidelines. The preferred alternative (Alternative G) would include area salvage on 328 acres within 16 units of at least 30 acres each for research purposes and area salvage for other purposes on 1,051 acres within units of more than 10 acres in extent. Roadside salvage would be undertaken on 955 acres to remove hazardous trees along open roads or roadbeds needed for temporary use for post-fire operations and hazardous trees identified by road users within riparian areas and remaining owl activity centers. A moderate level of restoration would be implemented, with emphasis on reducing vegetative competition in overstock stands with density management treatments and habitat restoration to accelerate the development of late-successional forest conditions. Harvest activities would result in the generation of 2.8 million board-feet of timber. Fuel management zones would be placed on ridge tops to potentially reduce future fires to 5,000 to 7,000 acres and to provide protection to lands within the wildland/urban interface. Within the fire perimeter, restoration would focus on high priority road work. The plan would require the reconstruction of 2.6 miles of road, maintenance of 77 miles of road, partial or full decommissioning of 36 miles of road, permanent closure of 21 miles of road, and seasonal closure of 114 miles of road. Wildlife projects would be implemented to improve eagle nesting and log pile habitat. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would take advantage of opportunities for the protection, enhancement, acceleration, and restoration of late-successional habitat and other proposed projects that occur within the Elk Creek watershed. Plan implementation would rehabilitate the fire damaged landscape; increase the resiliency of forest resources in the face of disturbance; allow for the economic recovery of fire-killed trees; and provide a setting for research into post-fire logging. Management activities would result in the creation of 41 jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Timber harvest, road work, and fuel management activities would result in the disturbance of vegetation and soils and, in some areas, soil compaction. Soil erosion caused by management activities would result in the sedimentation of receiving surface flows. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

Alternatives C through G would provide employ specific guidance related to post-fire salvage and/or late-successional reserve guidelines. The preferred alternative (Alternative G) would include area salvage on 328 acres within 16 units of at least 30 acres each for research purposes and area salvage for other purposes on 1,051 acres within units of more than 10 acres in extent. Roadside salvage would be undertaken on 955 acres to remove hazardous trees along open roads or roadbeds needed for temporary use for post-fire operations and hazardous trees identified by road users within riparian areas and remaining owl activity centers. A moderate level of restoration would be implemented, with emphasis on reducing vegetative competition in overstock stands with density management treatments and habitat restoration to accelerate the development of late-successional forest conditions. Harvest activities would result in the generation of 2.8 million board-feet of timber. Fuel management zones would be placed on ridge tops to potentially reduce future fires to 5,000 to 7,000 acres and to provide protection to lands within the wildland/urban interface. Within the fire perimeter, restoration would focus on high priority road work. The plan would require the reconstruction of 2.6 miles of road, maintenance of 77 miles of road, partial or full decommissioning of 36 miles of road, permanent closure of 21 miles of road, and seasonal closure of 114 miles of road. Wildlife projects would be implemented to improve eagle nesting and log pile habitat. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would take advantage of opportunities for the protection, enhancement, acceleration, and restoration of late-successional habitat and other proposed projects that occur within the Elk Creek watershed. Plan implementation would rehabilitate the fire damaged landscape; increase the resiliency of forest resources in the face of disturbance; allow for the economic recovery of fire-killed trees; and provide a setting for research into post-fire logging. Management activities would result in the creation of 41 jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Timber harvest, road work, and fuel management activities would result in the disturbance of vegetation and soils and, in some areas, soil compaction. Soil erosion caused by management activities would result in the sedimentation of receiving surface flows. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

AB  - PURPOSE: The salvage harvesting of timber burned in the Timber Rock Fire and the implementation of a restoration plan for the Elk Creek watershed of the Butte Falls Resource Area, Medford District, Oregon are proposed. The Elk Creek watershed, the associated late-successional reserve, and the Timbered Rock Fire are located approximately 20 miles east of Medford. The Timber Rock Fire, which began July 13, 2002, burned over approximately 27,000 acres, 12,000 acres of which are administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The remaining acreage consists of 11,000 acres of private industrial forest land, 600 acres administered by the US Army Corps of Engineers, 2,600 administered by the US Forest Service within the Rogue River National Forest, and a scattering of private holdings managed for various purposes. The study area for the salvage and restoration plan includes only public lands administered by the BLM. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to recovery of the economic value of fire-killed trees, reduction of fuel loading within the watershed, the levels of coarse woody debris and snags, the condition of late-successional forest habitat, cumulative impacts of fire and activity on commercial timberlands, road density and delivery of sediment to streams, and threatened, endangered, and other sensitive species.

AN  - 36429512; 10361
AB  - PURPOSE: The establishment of a general management plan for the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site in Henderson County, North Carolina is proposed. The site is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the writer and communicating the stories of his works, life, and significance as an American poet, prose writer, historian, biographer of Abraham Lincoln, and social activist. The Sandburg family lived at the farm, known as Connemara, for the last 22 years of his life (1945 to 1967). The park bases its current management decisions on guidance set forth in a 1971 master plan, a 1977 development concept plan, and a 1996 master plan amendment. Over time, higher visitation, shifting local and regional demographics, and updated policy guidelines for national parks have rendered these plans obsolete. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, the Sandburg Center Alternative, Sandburg-related cultural resources would be enhanced by providing additional opportunities via the creation of multi-use interpretive spaces and historic structures, the establishment of a visitor center on property outside the existing boundary of the park, and expansion of the visitor information station near the park entrance. The interiors of one or more historic structures could be rehabilitated to support interpretation or provide the necessary administrative support. The parking area near the Front Lake would be expanded and additional parking would be provided at a location outside the park boundary. The existing amphitheater adjacent to the Sandburg residence would be relocated to a less intrusive location and the trailer restroom would be replaced by an appropriately designed modern facility at the same location. A congressionally legislated boundary expansion of up to 110 acres would provide critical views and boundary protection. In addition, the plan would include an authorization to acquire approximately three to five acres for the 5,000-square-foot visitor center, parking for approximately 60 cars, and associated landscaping. The plan would guide interpretation and preservation of the historic site for the next 10 to 15 years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would assure than Sandburg-related cultural resources would be accessible to a worldwide audience in ways that both protect and preserve those resources and promote a greater understanding and appreciations of Carl Sandburg to the nation. All alternatives would continue to provide quality guided tours of the Sandburg residence and maintain the historic landscape at a high level of integrity. Opportunities for walking would be available and managed to maintain the historic character of the site. Expansion of parking facilities would reduce the number of visitor cars parked along adjacent roads, improving traffic circulation in the area. Improvement of the center would attract additional tourist dollars to the local and regional economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased visitation would increase exposure of historic resources at the site to damage. Construction activities would disturb and displace soils and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. LEGAL MANDATES: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), National Park Service Organic Act of 1916, and Public Law 90-592.

AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water supply project to divert water from the Sacramento River at a point south of downtown Sacramento in Sacramento County, California is proposed. The Freeport Regional Water Authority (FWRA), a joint powers agency formed by the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) and the Sacramento County Water Authority (SCWA), holds contracts with the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) to divert water from the river a location identified as Freeport south of downtown Sacramento. FWRA's project objectives are to support acquisition of additional SCWA surface water entitlements to promote efficient conjunctive use of groundwater in its Zone 40 area; to provide facilities through which SCWA can deliver existing and anticipated surface water entitlements to the Zone 40 area; to provide facilities through which EBMUD can take delivery of a supplemental supply of water that would substantially meet its need for water and reduce existing and future customer deficiencies during droughts; and to improve EBMUD system reliability and operational flexibility during droughts, catastrophic events, and scheduled major maintenance at the Pardee Dam or Reservoir. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 2 through 5 would provide for water supply facilities with a design capacity of 185 million gallons per day (mgd). Action alternatives differ only in that each would provide for different pipeline alignments. A preferred alternative (Alternative 5) has been identified. Up to 85 mgd would be diverted under Sacramento County's existing Reclamation water service contract and other anticipated water entitlements and up to 100 mgd would be diverted under EBMUD's amended Reclamation water service contract. The primary components of the action alternatives would consist of an intake facility on the Sacramento River near Freeport, the Zone 40 Surface Water Treatment Plant located in the central Sacramento County, a terminal facility at the point of delivery to the Folsom Canal, a canal pumping plant at the terminus of the Folsom South Canal, and aqueduct pumping plant and pretreatment facility near Camanche Reservoir, and a series of pipelines carrying water from the intake facility to the Zone 40 Surface Water Treatment Plant and to the Mokelumne Aqueducts. The existing Folsom South Canal would be part of the water conveyance system. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The water diversion and treatment system would allow the FWRA to take advantage of its Reclamation contract rights, thereby providing surface water to users in the Zone 40 area and promoting efficient use of groundwater in the area. The efficiency and reliability of water for irrigation and other uses in the Zone 40 area would be enhanced, and water system delivery flexibility would be improved during droughts, catastrophic events, and scheduled major maintenance at the Pardee Dam or Reservoir. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would result in short- and long-term increases in ambient noise levels due to construction activities and facility operation. Construction activities would also result in temporary disturbance to or potential loss of sensitive vegetation and wetland resources, riparian habitat, vernal pools, prime farmland, cultural resources, and habitat for various federally listed plant and animal species, including endangered insect and bird species. Blue oak woodlands and loss of individual locally protected trees would occur. Project facilities would mar visual aesthetics. LEGAL MANDATES: National Environmetnal Policy Act of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).

T2  - FREEPORT REGIONAL WATER PROJECT, SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36383953; 10362-030367_0004
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water supply project to divert water from the Sacramento River at a point south of downtown Sacramento in Sacramento County, California is proposed. The Freeport Regional Water Authority (FWRA), a joint powers agency formed by the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) and the Sacramento County Water Authority (SCWA), holds contracts with the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) to divert water from the river a location identified as Freeport south of downtown Sacramento. FWRA's project objectives are to support acquisition of additional SCWA surface water entitlements to promote efficient conjunctive use of groundwater in its Zone 40 area; to provide facilities through which SCWA can deliver existing and anticipated surface water entitlements to the Zone 40 area; to provide facilities through which EBMUD can take delivery of a supplemental supply of water that would substantially meet its need for water and reduce existing and future customer deficiencies during droughts; and to improve EBMUD system reliability and operational flexibility during droughts, catastrophic events, and scheduled major maintenance at the Pardee Dam or Reservoir. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 2 through 5 would provide for water supply facilities with a design capacity of 185 million gallons per day (mgd). Action alternatives differ only in that each would provide for different pipeline alignments. A preferred alternative (Alternative 5) has been identified. Up to 85 mgd would be diverted under Sacramento County's existing Reclamation water service contract and other anticipated water entitlements and up to 100 mgd would be diverted under EBMUD's amended Reclamation water service contract. The primary components of the action alternatives would consist of an intake facility on the Sacramento River near Freeport, the Zone 40 Surface Water Treatment Plant located in the central Sacramento County, a terminal facility at the point of delivery to the Folsom Canal, a canal pumping plant at the terminus of the Folsom South Canal, and aqueduct pumping plant and pretreatment facility near Camanche Reservoir, and a series of pipelines carrying water from the intake facility to the Zone 40 Surface Water Treatment Plant and to the Mokelumne Aqueducts. The existing Folsom South Canal would be part of the water conveyance system. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The water diversion and treatment system would allow the FWRA to take advantage of its Reclamation contract rights, thereby providing surface water to users in the Zone 40 area and promoting efficient use of groundwater in the area. The efficiency and reliability of water for irrigation and other uses in the Zone 40 area would be enhanced, and water system delivery flexibility would be improved during droughts, catastrophic events, and scheduled major maintenance at the Pardee Dam or Reservoir. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would result in short- and long-term increases in ambient noise levels due to construction activities and facility operation. Construction activities would also result in temporary disturbance to or potential loss of sensitive vegetation and wetland resources, riparian habitat, vernal pools, prime farmland, cultural resources, and habitat for various federally listed plant and animal species, including endangered insect and bird species. Blue oak woodlands and loss of individual locally protected trees would occur. Project facilities would mar visual aesthetics. LEGAL MANDATES: National Environmetnal Policy Act of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).

FWRA's project objectives are to support acquisition of additional SCWA surface water entitlements to promote efficient conjunctive use of groundwater in its Zone 40 area; to provide facilities through which SCWA can deliver existing and anticipated surface water entitlements to the Zone 40 area; to provide facilities through which EBMUD can take delivery of a supplemental supply of water that would substantially meet its need for water and reduce existing and future customer deficiencies during droughts; and to improve EBMUD system reliability and operational flexibility during droughts, catastrophic events, and scheduled major maintenance at the Pardee Dam or Reservoir. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 2 through 5 would provide for water supply facilities with a design capacity of 185 million gallons per day (mgd). Action alternatives differ only in that each would provide for different pipeline alignments. A preferred alternative (Alternative 5) has been identified. Up to 85 mgd would be diverted under Sacramento County's existing Reclamation water service contract and other anticipated water entitlements and up to 100 mgd would be diverted under EBMUD's amended Reclamation water service contract. The primary components of the action alternatives would consist of an intake facility on the Sacramento River near Freeport, the Zone 40 Surface Water Treatment Plant located in the central Sacramento County, a terminal facility at the point of delivery to the Folsom Canal, a canal pumping plant at the terminus of the Folsom South Canal, and aqueduct pumping plant and pretreatment facility near Camanche Reservoir, and a series of pipelines carrying water from the intake facility to the Zone 40 Surface Water Treatment Plant and to the Mokelumne Aqueducts. The existing Folsom South Canal would be part of the water conveyance system. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The water diversion and treatment system would allow the FWRA to take advantage of its Reclamation contract rights, thereby providing surface water to users in the Zone 40 area and promoting efficient use of groundwater in the area. The efficiency and reliability of water for irrigation and other uses in the Zone 40 area would be enhanced, and water system delivery flexibility would be improved during droughts, catastrophic events, and scheduled major maintenance at the Pardee Dam or Reservoir. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would result in short- and long-term increases in ambient noise levels due to construction activities and facility operation. Construction activities would also result in temporary disturbance to or potential loss of sensitive vegetation and wetland resources, riparian habitat, vernal pools, prime farmland, cultural resources, and habitat for various federally listed plant and animal species, including endangered insect and bird species. Blue oak woodlands and loss of individual locally protected trees would occur. Project facilities would mar visual aesthetics. LEGAL MANDATES: National Environmetnal Policy Act of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).

T1  - CARL SANDBURG HOME NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE, HENDERSON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. [Part 1 of 1]
T2  - CARL SANDBURG HOME NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE, HENDERSON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA.
AN  - 36349298; 10361-030366_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The establishment of a general management plan for the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site in Henderson County, North Carolina is proposed. The site is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the writer and communicating the stories of his works, life, and significance as an American poet, prose writer, historian, biographer of Abraham Lincoln, and social activist. The Sandburg family lived at the farm, known as Connemara, for the last 22 years of his life (1945 to 1967). The park bases its current management decisions on guidance set forth in a 1971 master plan, a 1977 development concept plan, and a 1996 master plan amendment. Over time, higher visitation, shifting local and regional demographics, and updated policy guidelines for national parks have rendered these plans obsolete. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, the Sandburg Center Alternative, Sandburg-related cultural resources would be enhanced by providing additional opportunities via the creation of multi-use interpretive spaces and historic structures, the establishment of a visitor center on property outside the existing boundary of the park, and expansion of the visitor information station near the park entrance. The interiors of one or more historic structures could be rehabilitated to support interpretation or provide the necessary administrative support. The parking area near the Front Lake would be expanded and additional parking would be provided at a location outside the park boundary. The existing amphitheater adjacent to the Sandburg residence would be relocated to a less intrusive location and the trailer restroom would be replaced by an appropriately designed modern facility at the same location. A congressionally legislated boundary expansion of up to 110 acres would provide critical views and boundary protection. In addition, the plan would include an authorization to acquire approximately three to five acres for the 5,000-square-foot visitor center, parking for approximately 60 cars, and associated landscaping. The plan would guide interpretation and preservation of the historic site for the next 10 to 15 years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would assure than Sandburg-related cultural resources would be accessible to a worldwide audience in ways that both protect and preserve those resources and promote a greater understanding and appreciations of Carl Sandburg to the nation. All alternatives would continue to provide quality guided tours of the Sandburg residence and maintain the historic landscape at a high level of integrity. Opportunities for walking would be available and managed to maintain the historic character of the site. Expansion of parking facilities would reduce the number of visitor cars parked along adjacent roads, improving traffic circulation in the area. Improvement of the center would attract additional tourist dollars to the local and regional economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased visitation would increase exposure of historic resources at the site to damage. Construction activities would disturb and displace soils and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. LEGAL MANDATES: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), National Park Service Organic Act of 1916, and Public Law 90-592.

T1  - CORONADO NATIONAL MEMORIAL, COCHISE COUNTY, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36430591; 10363
AB  - PURPOSE: The revision of the general management plan for the Coronado national Memorial, Cochise County, Arizona is proposed. The approved plan would establish a direction for guiding the management of the memorial or the next 15 to 20 years. The memorial was established to commemorate and interpret Francisco Vazquez de Coronado's 16th Century expedition into what is not the United States. The memorial's southern boundary is the border between the United States and Mexico. It offers extraordinary views of the San Pedro River. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to illegal immigration through the memorial and illegal trafficking in drugs within the memorial, the erosion of the memorial's cultural landscape by modern intrusions, inadequate visitor center /headquarters and maintenance facilities and a lack of adequate housing, conflicts caused by livestock grazing within the memorial, and the need for public and private group coordination to maximize services for visitors and offset the effect of overextended federal funding and staff. Four management prescriptions were established, namely, conservation, education, visitor services, and operations and special use. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would perpetuate the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative B), educational and recreational opportunities would be emphasized. The visitor center would be rehabilitated, with an annex added to provide for more office space and storage. New trails would be developed, and pullouts and waysides would be added to roads. Programs would be designed to help visitors understand the Coronado Expedition and its impact on the American Southwest. All lands not included in other prescriptions would be in the conservation prescription. Grazing would be discontinued, and an abandoned powerline along the road to Montezuma Pass would be removed and the rights-of-way revegetated with native plants. Intensive interpretation would be applied to the trail form Montezuma Pass to Coronado Peak, the trail to Coronado Cave, and the grasslands north and south of the main road. A loop trail would be developed in the grasslands south of the main road, and a trail accessible by persons with disabilities would be developed in the grasslands north of the entrance, using part of Windmill Road. A trial would be added between the visitor center and the entrance. A new four-unitstructure would be added to house temporary employees and visitors. The national memorial would work toward creating an offsite cultural festival to celebrate various associated cultures, emphasizing the historical aspects of the Coronado Expedition. Other special events would be promoted. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The annex would decrease congestion within the visitor center and allow better displays of for interpretation, enhancing visitor understanding of the role of the Coronado Expedition and ecosystem-related resources within the monument. Prohibition of grazing would eliminate conflicts between visitors and livestock, reduce soil erosion and compaction, prevent livestock damage to archaeological resources, and improve bird nesting habitat and riparian habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the visitor center annex, parking areas, trails, pullouts, and waysides would disturb soils and vegetation and agitate small mammals, amphibians, and reptiles. LEGAL MANDATES: National Parks and Recreation Act of 1978 (P.L. 95-625), National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (16 U.S.C. 1 et seq.), and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

AN  - 36385265; 10363-030368_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The revision of the general management plan for the Coronado national Memorial, Cochise County, Arizona is proposed. The approved plan would establish a direction for guiding the management of the memorial or the next 15 to 20 years. The memorial was established to commemorate and interpret Francisco Vazquez de Coronado's 16th Century expedition into what is not the United States. The memorial's southern boundary is the border between the United States and Mexico. It offers extraordinary views of the San Pedro River. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to illegal immigration through the memorial and illegal trafficking in drugs within the memorial, the erosion of the memorial's cultural landscape by modern intrusions, inadequate visitor center /headquarters and maintenance facilities and a lack of adequate housing, conflicts caused by livestock grazing within the memorial, and the need for public and private group coordination to maximize services for visitors and offset the effect of overextended federal funding and staff. Four management prescriptions were established, namely, conservation, education, visitor services, and operations and special use. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would perpetuate the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative B), educational and recreational opportunities would be emphasized. The visitor center would be rehabilitated, with an annex added to provide for more office space and storage. New trails would be developed, and pullouts and waysides would be added to roads. Programs would be designed to help visitors understand the Coronado Expedition and its impact on the American Southwest. All lands not included in other prescriptions would be in the conservation prescription. Grazing would be discontinued, and an abandoned powerline along the road to Montezuma Pass would be removed and the rights-of-way revegetated with native plants. Intensive interpretation would be applied to the trail form Montezuma Pass to Coronado Peak, the trail to Coronado Cave, and the grasslands north and south of the main road. A loop trail would be developed in the grasslands south of the main road, and a trail accessible by persons with disabilities would be developed in the grasslands north of the entrance, using part of Windmill Road. A trial would be added between the visitor center and the entrance. A new four-unitstructure would be added to house temporary employees and visitors. The national memorial would work toward creating an offsite cultural festival to celebrate various associated cultures, emphasizing the historical aspects of the Coronado Expedition. Other special events would be promoted. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The annex would decrease congestion within the visitor center and allow better displays of for interpretation, enhancing visitor understanding of the role of the Coronado Expedition and ecosystem-related resources within the monument. Prohibition of grazing would eliminate conflicts between visitors and livestock, reduce soil erosion and compaction, prevent livestock damage to archaeological resources, and improve bird nesting habitat and riparian habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the visitor center annex, parking areas, trails, pullouts, and waysides would disturb soils and vegetation and agitate small mammals, amphibians, and reptiles. LEGAL MANDATES: National Parks and Recreation Act of 1978 (P.L. 95-625), National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (16 U.S.C. 1 et seq.), and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

T1  - RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT GROUP, UINTA BASIN NATURAL GAS PROJECT, UINTA COUNTY, UTAH.
AN  - 36437805; 10353
AB  - PURPOSE: The development of natural gas resources within a 79,914-acre tract in the Atche Wash Oil and Gas Production Region, south of the White River in Uinta County, Utah is proposed. The Kidd Family Partnership, Phoenix Energy, Inc., Rosewood Resources, Inc., and White River Resources Management Inc. (known, for the purpose of the development proposal as the Resource Development Group (RDG)) would drill 423 natural gas wells on federal, sate, and private lands, construct roads and gathering lines for natural gas and produced water, dispose of produced water in an approved injection well, and integration of one 350-horsepower compressor station into the Kinder Morgan gas pipeline gathering and transmission network to pump natural gas to the regional natural gas transmission system. The primary area considered for natural gas extraction would encompass portions of the Wasatch and Meda Verde formations, which are the primary producing horizons in the area. Wells into the Dakota and Weber Sandstones would probably also be drilled. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to land use plans, geology and minerals, water resources, air quality, soils, vegetation, riparian and wetland resources, wildlife habitat, federally protected species, cultural and paleontological resources, land use, recreational and visual resources, wilderness characteristics, socioeconomics, and reclamation and environmental protection. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 4), are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 1 would allow RDG to implement its proposal. Alternatives 2 and 3, which would address wildlife and other environmental issues raised during the agency and public scoping process, would incorporate the same construction, operational, decommissioning, and reclamation components provided under RDG's proposal, but would include restrictions on actions to take place on federal lands. Under the No Action Alternative, drilling would continue on state and private leases, and access and pipelines that ross federal lands to reach the state and private lands would be granted as required by federal regulations. Anticipated project construction and production activities would extend over 10 to 20 yeas and 40 years, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The applicants' proposal would allow for extraction of 448.3 billion cubic feet of natural gas from the area, providing needed energy to the region and reducing the nation's dependence on foreign sources of oil and environmentally damaging fossil fuels. Recreational access to the area would be enhanced. The project would increase regional employment rolls by 89 to 179 jobs, resulting in annual wages of $3.56 million to $7.12 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Ground disturbance would result in removal of vegetation on 1,222 acres, including long-term disturbance on 867 acres. Approximately 3.5 acres of riparian area could be disturbed. Mule deer, elk, pronghorn deer, upland game, small mammals, furbearers, waterfowl, reptiles and amphibians, and raptors would suffer from the presence of humans and the physical alteration of habitat. The placement of 143 of the proposed wells could affect habitat of the Graham beardtongue and White River beardtongue, two federally protected plant species. Special status raptor species, sage grouse, and neotropical migratory songbirds, all of which are federally protected, could also be affected. Groundwater quality within shallow alluvial aquifers could be affected by infiltration and migration of drilling muds, upward migration of saline water, and hydraulic fracturing fluids. The proposed wells would produce 52,367 tons of sediment over the life of the project. Construction on steep slopes would increase the difficulty of reclamation activities. The project area would extend into fossil-bearing geological formations, and project activities could affect 50 to 216 archaeological sites. Visual and other recreational resources within the development area would be degraded by wellpads and road construction.

T1  - NORTH RASMUSSEN RIDGE MINE, ARGIUM CONDA PHOSPHATE OPERATIONS, CARIBOU COUNTY, IDAHO.
AN  - 36427798; 10345
AB  - PURPOSE: The expansion of phosphate mining at Agrium Conda Phosphate Operations' North Rasmussen Ridge Mine in Caribou County, Idaho is proposed. Existing operations at the Central Rasmussen Mine are approved via a 1997 Mine Plan Approval. The mining operations would be extended from the existing sites at South and Central Rasmussen Ridge northward along the ridge onto lands administered by the US Forest Service within the Caribou-Targhee National Forest and by the Idaho Department of Lands. The project area is located on public lands located 19 miles northeast of Soda Springs. Mining would occur on Federal Phosphate Leases I-043375 and I-07619 within the national forest and on State Lese I-93313, adjacent to the federal leases; the leases encompass 920 acres, 437 acres, and 200 acres, respectively. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 2), are considered in this abbreviated final EIS. The proposed action (Alternative 1), which is also the preferred alternative, would include the development of two mine pits and a haul road. Use of the existing support and transportation systems would continue. All the waste rock generated from the pits would be paced in the Central and North Rasmussen pits after the ultimate pit depths have been achieved. Approximately 1.0 million cubic yards of growth media would be salvaged and several hundred thousand cubic yards of would be used immediately to cover disturbed areas. A storage area for growth media would be developed to store up to 918,000 cubic yards of material temporarily. All available topsoil and alluvium from the pit would be applied directly to completed and resloped areas where possible or salvaged and held n the growth media storage area for future use. Approximately 197 acres of the disturbed area would be reclaimed. Most of the open pits would be backfilled to approximate original contours, and one pit would be partially backfilled. Based on Agrium's current annual production rate, the life span of the proposed mine would be approximately eight years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expanded mining operations would provide phosphate for fertilizer and other uses in the region. Mining activities would employ workers already at the Agrium site and, potentially, could employ other workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining and associated activities would disturb 269 acres of land and alter the topography of the area somewhat. The new pits would disturb 199 acres, while the remainder of the disturbed acreage would be affected by roads, ponds, and growth media stockpiles. Disturbed lands would include 193 acres of conifer, 69 acres of mixed aspen/conifer, and eight acres of sagebrush, and the associated wildlife habitat, including habitat for federally protected species. Air quality in the vicinity of the mine would decline during operations. Mining would degrade surface and groundwater flows and soils. Aquatic habitat could be affected by releases of selenium. Grazing allotments would be affected by the development of the pits and associated facilities. Visual quality would be marred by mining structures and the pits, and other aspects of the recreational experience of the area would be degraded. Hazardous materials would continue to be handled at the mine site. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and General Mining Law of 1872, as amended (30 U.S.C. 21 et seq.).

T2  - NORTH RASMUSSEN RIDGE MINE, ARGIUM CONDA PHOSPHATE OPERATIONS, CARIBOU COUNTY, IDAHO.
AN  - 36351028; 10345-030350_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The expansion of phosphate mining at Agrium Conda Phosphate Operations' North Rasmussen Ridge Mine in Caribou County, Idaho is proposed. Existing operations at the Central Rasmussen Mine are approved via a 1997 Mine Plan Approval. The mining operations would be extended from the existing sites at South and Central Rasmussen Ridge northward along the ridge onto lands administered by the US Forest Service within the Caribou-Targhee National Forest and by the Idaho Department of Lands. The project area is located on public lands located 19 miles northeast of Soda Springs. Mining would occur on Federal Phosphate Leases I-043375 and I-07619 within the national forest and on State Lese I-93313, adjacent to the federal leases; the leases encompass 920 acres, 437 acres, and 200 acres, respectively. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 2), are considered in this abbreviated final EIS. The proposed action (Alternative 1), which is also the preferred alternative, would include the development of two mine pits and a haul road. Use of the existing support and transportation systems would continue. All the waste rock generated from the pits would be paced in the Central and North Rasmussen pits after the ultimate pit depths have been achieved. Approximately 1.0 million cubic yards of growth media would be salvaged and several hundred thousand cubic yards of would be used immediately to cover disturbed areas. A storage area for growth media would be developed to store up to 918,000 cubic yards of material temporarily. All available topsoil and alluvium from the pit would be applied directly to completed and resloped areas where possible or salvaged and held n the growth media storage area for future use. Approximately 197 acres of the disturbed area would be reclaimed. Most of the open pits would be backfilled to approximate original contours, and one pit would be partially backfilled. Based on Agrium's current annual production rate, the life span of the proposed mine would be approximately eight years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expanded mining operations would provide phosphate for fertilizer and other uses in the region. Mining activities would employ workers already at the Agrium site and, potentially, could employ other workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining and associated activities would disturb 269 acres of land and alter the topography of the area somewhat. The new pits would disturb 199 acres, while the remainder of the disturbed acreage would be affected by roads, ponds, and growth media stockpiles. Disturbed lands would include 193 acres of conifer, 69 acres of mixed aspen/conifer, and eight acres of sagebrush, and the associated wildlife habitat, including habitat for federally protected species. Air quality in the vicinity of the mine would decline during operations. Mining would degrade surface and groundwater flows and soils. Aquatic habitat could be affected by releases of selenium. Grazing allotments would be affected by the development of the pits and associated facilities. Visual quality would be marred by mining structures and the pits, and other aspects of the recreational experience of the area would be degraded. Hazardous materials would continue to be handled at the mine site. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and General Mining Law of 1872, as amended (30 U.S.C. 21 et seq.).

T1  - LOWER SANTA YNEZ RIVER FISH MANAGEMENT PLAN AND CACHUMA PROJECT BIOLOGICAL OPINION FOR SOUTHERN STEELHEAD TROUT, SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36417258; 10336
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a fish habitat management plan for southern steelhead trout on the Santa Ynez River below Bradbury Dam in northern Santa Barbara County, California is proposed. This species was designated as endangered by the National Marine Fisheries Service in August 1997. The lower Santa Ynez River provides critical habitat for the species. The dam created the Cachuma Lake impoundment, which provides water for irrigation, domestic, and municipal and industrial uses. Current users include the city of Santa Barbara, Goleta Water District, Montecito Water District, Carpinteria Valley Water District, and the Santa Ynez River Water District (Improvement District No. 1). Fish habitat improvements would include alterations in ramping schedules for water rights releases, maintenance of residual pool depths, mainstem rearing releases, fish passage supplementation, adaptive management accounting, reservoir surcharging, conservation easements, and bank stabilization. Tributaries to be improved would include Hilton Creek, Quiota Creek, El Jaro Creek, and Nojoqui Creek. Alternative actions access include a No Action Alternative, surcharge alternatives, rearing flow alternatives, and modified passage flow alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would improve habitat for steelhead trout along the river downstream of Lake cachuma through flow, habitat, and passage improvements. These actions would create new habitat and improve existing habitat in the lower river and its tributaries; improve access to spawning and rearing habitats in the lower river and its tributaries; and increase public awareness and support for beneficial actions on private lands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Plan measures would result in disruption of recreational activities and facility closures at Cachuma Lake County Park due to inundation of critical facilities by a three-foot surcharge and/or due to temporary facility closures resulting from relocation of facilities in anticipation of the surcharge. The surcharge would also result in the loss of riparian and other vegetation, including approximately 452 oak trees along the margins of the lake, and increased erosion at two archaeological sites. Other archaeological sites could be affected similarly. Actions on river tributaries would result in loss of riparian scrub and woodland, discharge of sediments, and loss of pool habitat for steelhead trout, red-legged frog, and western pond turtle. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).

T1  - BATTLE CREEK SALMON AND STEELHEAD RESTORATION PROJECT, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36427089; 10328
AB  - PURPOSE: The modification of the Battle Creek Hydroelectric Project to provide for salmon and steelhead trout habitat restoration along 42 miles of prime habitat on Battle Creek and six miles of habitat on its tributaries in California is proposed. The project operates under a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission license held by Pacific Gas and Electric Company. The upper limit of the study area on North Fork Battle Creek is the absolute natural fish barrier above the North Battle Creek Feeder Diversion Dam, 14 miles upstream of the confluence. The upper limit of the study area on South Fork Battle Creek is the natural fish barrier above the South Diversion Dam. The lower project limit is nine miles upstream of the confluence of Battle Creek and the Sacramento River at a location just below the confluence of the Coleman Powerhouse tailrace channel and the main stream of Battle Creek. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred Five Dam Removal Alternative would involve removal of the Wildcat, South, Soap Creek Feeder, Lower Ripley Creek Feeder, and Coleman diversion dams. In addition, fish screens and fish ladders would be installed at North Battle Creek Feeder, Eagle Canyon, and Inskip diversion dams. Tailrace connectors would be installed to convey water directly from the Inskip and South powerhouses to downstream canals to meet several fishery restoration goals. A penstock bypass facility would be replaced at Inskip powerhouse. Springs at the Eagle Canyon, Soap Creek/Bluff, Lower Ripley, and Darrah Springs areas would release flows to adjacent stream sections. Water leaving the South powerhouse would be conveyed through a new connector (a free-flow tunnel) and outlet works to the Inskip Canal. Water leaving the Inskip powerhouse would be conveyed through a new full-flow buried pipeline and outlet works to the Coleman Canal. The South powerhouse bypass would be integrated with the new tailrace connector to prevent the mixing of North Fork and South Fork flows. The Inskip powerhouse bypass would be replaced with a new pipeline and chute system that would prevent the mixing of these flows and ensure full-flow delivery of water to the Coleman Canal. The project would be supported by a detailed facility monitoring plan, water diversion rights agreements, a water acquisition fund, and an adaptive management fund. The restoration project would begin in early 2004 and end by the fall of 2006. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Modification of the hydroelectric facilities and operations would enable safe passage for natural produced salmonids and would facilitate their growth and recovery in the Sacramento River and its tributaries. The benefiting salmonids would include Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon, state- and federally listed as threatened; Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon, state- and federally listed at endangered; and Central Valley steelhead trout, federally listed as threatened. The project would also provide substantial benefits to amphibian habitat by reducing adverse effects of flow fluctuations and by increasing minimum instream flows. In relation to power generation, the annual power benefits associated with the preferred alternative would be greater than the increased annual total and going-forward cost of the project. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Significant construction-related impacts to riparian and wetland habitat would result from the project. Potential habitat disturbances could affect a number of special status species, including valley elderberry longhorn beetle, foothill yellow-legged frog, northwestern pond turtle, yellow-breasted chat, nesting raptors, and bats, though these impacts would be reduced to insignificance. Certain improvements would degrade visual aesthetics in the area of the Oasis Springs Lodge. Removal of the Wildcat and Coleman diversion dams and modification of the Eagle Canyon and Inskip diversion dams would result in the destruction or alteration of historically significant structures. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

Water leaving the South powerhouse would be conveyed through a new connector (a free-flow tunnel) and outlet works to the Inskip Canal. Water leaving the Inskip powerhouse would be conveyed through a new full-flow buried pipeline and outlet works to the Coleman Canal. The South powerhouse bypass would be integrated with the new tailrace connector to prevent the mixing of North Fork and South Fork flows. The Inskip powerhouse bypass would be replaced with a new pipeline and chute system that would prevent the mixing of these flows and ensure full-flow delivery of water to the Coleman Canal. The project would be supported by a detailed facility monitoring plan, water diversion rights agreements, a water acquisition fund, and an adaptive management fund. The restoration project would begin in early 2004 and end by the fall of 2006. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Modification of the hydroelectric facilities and operations would enable safe passage for natural produced salmonids and would facilitate their growth and recovery in the Sacramento River and its tributaries. The benefiting salmonids would include Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon, state- and federally listed as threatened; Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon, state- and federally listed at endangered; and Central Valley steelhead trout, federally listed as threatened. The project would also provide substantial benefits to amphibian habitat by reducing adverse effects of flow fluctuations and by increasing minimum instream flows. In relation to power generation, the annual power benefits associated with the preferred alternative would be greater than the increased annual total and going-forward cost of the project. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Significant construction-related impacts to riparian and wetland habitat would result from the project. Potential habitat disturbances could affect a number of special status species, including valley elderberry longhorn beetle, foothill yellow-legged frog, northwestern pond turtle, yellow-breasted chat, nesting raptors, and bats, though these impacts would be reduced to insignificance. Certain improvements would degrade visual aesthetics in the area of the Oasis Springs Lodge. Removal of the Wildcat and Coleman diversion dams and modification of the Eagle Canyon and Inskip diversion dams would result in the destruction or alteration of historically significant structures. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

AB  - PURPOSE: The modification of the Battle Creek Hydroelectric Project to provide for salmon and steelhead trout habitat restoration along 42 miles of prime habitat on Battle Creek and six miles of habitat on its tributaries in California is proposed. The project operates under a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission license held by Pacific Gas and Electric Company. The upper limit of the study area on North Fork Battle Creek is the absolute natural fish barrier above the North Battle Creek Feeder Diversion Dam, 14 miles upstream of the confluence. The upper limit of the study area on South Fork Battle Creek is the natural fish barrier above the South Diversion Dam. The lower project limit is nine miles upstream of the confluence of Battle Creek and the Sacramento River at a location just below the confluence of the Coleman Powerhouse tailrace channel and the main stream of Battle Creek. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred Five Dam Removal Alternative would involve removal of the Wildcat, South, Soap Creek Feeder, Lower Ripley Creek Feeder, and Coleman diversion dams. In addition, fish screens and fish ladders would be installed at North Battle Creek Feeder, Eagle Canyon, and Inskip diversion dams.

Water leaving the Inskip powerhouse would be conveyed through a new full-flow buried pipeline and outlet works to the Coleman Canal. The South powerhouse bypass would be integrated with the new tailrace connector to prevent the mixing of North Fork and South Fork flows. The Inskip powerhouse bypass would be replaced with a new pipeline and chute system that would prevent the mixing of these flows and ensure full-flow delivery of water to the Coleman Canal. The project would be supported by a detailed facility monitoring plan, water diversion rights agreements, a water acquisition fund, and an adaptive management fund. The restoration project would begin in early 2004 and end by the fall of 2006. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Modification of the hydroelectric facilities and operations would enable safe passage for natural produced salmonids and would facilitate their growth and recovery in the Sacramento River and its tributaries. The benefiting salmonids would include Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon, state- and federally listed as threatened; Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon, state- and federally listed at endangered; and Central Valley steelhead trout, federally listed as threatened. The project would also provide substantial benefits to amphibian habitat by reducing adverse effects of flow fluctuations and by increasing minimum instream flows. In relation to power generation, the annual power benefits associated with the preferred alternative would be greater than the increased annual total and going-forward cost of the project. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Significant construction-related impacts to riparian and wetland habitat would result from the project. Potential habitat disturbances could affect a number of special status species, including valley elderberry longhorn beetle, foothill yellow-legged frog, northwestern pond turtle, yellow-breasted chat, nesting raptors, and bats, though these impacts would be reduced to insignificance. Certain improvements would degrade visual aesthetics in the area of the Oasis Springs Lodge. Removal of the Wildcat and Coleman diversion dams and modification of the Eagle Canyon and Inskip diversion dams would result in the destruction or alteration of historically significant structures.

T1  - APOSTLE ISLANDS NATIONAL LAKESHORE WILDERNESS STUDY, LAKE SUPERIOR, WISCONSIN.
AN  - 15230551; 10188
AB  - PURPOSE: The designation of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore (AINL) in Ashland and Bayfield counties, Wisconsin as a wilderness within the National Wilderness System is proposed. The 69,372-acre AINL is locate don the tip of Bayfield Peninsula in northern Wisconsin and includes 21 islands on Lake Superior and a narrow 12-mile strip of mainland shoreline. The islands range in size from three-acre Gull Island to 10,054-acre Stockton Island. The park features pristine stretches of sand beaches and coves, spectacular sea caves, remnant old-growth forests, a diverse population of birds, mammals, amphibians, and fish, and the largest collection of lighthouses in the national park system. The islands have both historical and archaeological significance. Approximately 42,160 acres within the park have been designated as suitable for consideration as wilderness. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would maintain the lakeshore area outside the National Wilderness System are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative B would designate 94 percent of the AINL as wilderness, excluding only the areas determined to be unsuitable in all other action alternatives. Alternative C, the preferred alternative, would designate 90 percent of the AINL as wilderness. Basswood, Sand, and Long islands would not be included in the wilderness designations. Altogether approximately 33,500 of the park's 42, 160 land base would be designated as wilderness. Alternative D would limit wilderness designation to remote areas covering approximately 55 percent of the park's land base, including those undeveloped and isolated areas that provide the best opportunities for solitude and primitive recreation during the busy summer season; these areas are not on the current tour boat route and generally lie further from the mainland than the more extensively visited areas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Any of the action alternatives would provide additional protection to the park's pristine wildland values, ensuring its preservation for present and future generations. The preferred alternative would provide the best mix of beneficial impacts, while maintaining the integrity of the wilderness. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wilderness designation would restrict the flexibility of managers of the AINL significantly as any management action that would result in alteration of wilderness values would be prohibited. This situation would particularly reduce the level of protection afforded cultural resource sites within the designated areas.

T1  - DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT PLAN, STATUE OF LIBERTY NATIONAL MONUMENT AND ELLIS ISLAND, NEW YORK HARBOR, NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY.
AN  - 15226527; 10187
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan for adaptive reuse of the 30 remaining vacant and deteriorating buildings of Ellis Island and for improvement of access to the island in New York Harbor, New York and New Jersey. The buildings now contain a total of 375,000 square feet of vacant space. Unless one of the action alternatives is undertaken, the currently planned temporary stabilization measures would eventually disintegrate and the buildings would become dilapidated beyond repair. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would continue the existing management direction, are considered in this draft EIS. Both action alternatives would include provisions for a new managed limited-access bridge to New Jersey for use by emergency and service vehicles, continuation of the historic use of ferry boats by both day users and overnight visitors, equal access provisions for all income groups, infrastructure improvements in support of rehabilitation and reuse of the vacant buildings, additional funding for operating budget increases, and continuation of the recently enhanced security and emergency evacuation procedures. Alternative 2 would rehabilitate the buildings as a campus for nonprofit/institutional uses, complementing the historic themes of Ellis Island. Alternative 3, the preferred alternative, would rehabilitation the buildings to provide for a conference center and retreat. The institute would have overnight accommodations to host meetings, retreats, and workshops concerning issues such as immigration, world migration, public health, family history, historic preservation, and the environment. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would accomplish the goals and objectives set forth in the National Park Service's "State of Liberty National Monument General Management Plan" and would offer the greatest potential for long-term viability. The historically significant vacant buildings would not be lost due to neglect and their reuse would contribute to the general appearance and historic purpose of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Disturbance to marine sediments and associated increases in turbidity and impacts to aquatic life would occur during removal of the temporary service bridge and construction of the new permanent bridge. The suspended sediments could release toxins into the water column, and toxins could be released due to soil disturbance at the bridge construction site. Replanting planned in the courtyards associated with the buildings could adversely impact or eliminate patches of two state-protected plant species. The project could result in the removal of significant habitat for the state-protected Savannah sparrow, which is a year-round resident of Liberty State Park. The presence of humans and lighting round-the-clock would place additional pressure on wildlife inhabiting the island. Dewatering of the groundwater table could result if building a landing required pumping of an aquifer to reduce the water table. Increases in visitation could place stress on parking facilities at the park.

T1  - Mineral investigations in the Delta River mining district, East-Central Alaska, 2001-2002
AN  - 51906502; 2004-001162
AB  - In 2001 and 2002 Bureau of Land Management (BLM) investigators surveyed, mapped, or sampled 108 mineral occurrences in the 2.9-million-acre Delta River Mining District, which extends across the Alaska Range from Paxson to Delta Junction, in east-central Alaska. The BLM collected and analyzed 487 rock chip, placer, pan concentrate, and stream sediment samples during the investigation. In addition, the BLM had 264 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) stream sediment samples analyzed by the inductively coupled argon plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) technique for 40 elements and by fire assay, atomic absorption finish, for gold, platinum, and palladium. A subset of 17 of these samples, all with high nickel values, was analyzed for the full suite of platinum group elements (PGE). The BLM is scheduled to complete fieldwork for the mineral assessment program in the district in 2004 and will produce a final report in 2005. Noteworthy results from the BLM's investigations include the discovery of PGE-bearing disseminated and net-textured sulfides hosted in gabbro and peridotite in the Cony Mountain area, in the eastern part of the district. Also, a pan concentrate sample from the Chisna River area returned 792 ppm gold and 2.29 ppm platinum. Investigators have not positively identified platinum lode sources in the Chisna River area to date. The BLM coordinated the collection of gravity, magnetic, and magnetotelluric data by the USGS in the district in 2001 and 2002. Modeling of these data indicates the potential for a dense, moderately magnetic, strongly conductive body oriented approximately along the axis of a synform in the Amphitheater Mountains, in the southern part of the district. The University of Alaska, Fairbanks, determined an early Late Triassic Ar/Ar age date of 228.3+ or -1.1 million years, on a sample of phologopite in gabbro from the PGE-bearing Rainy Creek mafic-ultramafic complex in the district. This age correlates a tectonically dismembered mafic-ultramafic complex north of the Rainy Creek thrust fault, that may have been intruded at a deeper stratigraphic level, with possibly shallower, generally undeformed complexes to the south, dated at 230.4+ or -1.3 million years. In 2002, the BLM contracted an airborne geophysical survey in the southwestern part of the district. The survey, administered by the State of Alaska, Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys, collected aeromagnetic and three frequencies of resistivity data across approximately 350 square miles. The primary target of the survey was coppernickel-PGE-bearing mafic and ultramafic rocks. The survey products released to the public in March, 2003 include approximately 250 square miles of aeromagnetic and resistivity data previously purchased by the BLM.

T1  - Design Guidance for Coanda-Effect Screens
AN  - 17863022; 6196839
AB  - Coanda-effect screens address the growing need for screening of small debris and aquatic organisms from water diversions. These screens have large flow capacities and are hydraulically self-cleaning without moving parts, so they require minimal maintenance. Coanda-effect screens have been commercially available for many years in a limited number of configurations. Information needed to develop custom designs has previously been limited. This report reviews laboratory testing performed during the past 10 years that has led to the development of a numerical model that computes flow profiles and hydraulic capacities of Coanda-effect screens. Computer software to perform the calculations is publicly available through the Bureau of Reclamation web site, and its use is described here. The computer model is used to develop hydraulic rating curves defining the performance of several reference screen designs that are typical of existing installations. The model is also used to examine the sensitivity of screen capacity to several individual design parameters varied over typical application ranges. Graphical design aids are produced from this analysis, and design guidance is provided for project planners and screen designers. An appendix provides an extensive list of existing screen installations with narrative accounts of operating and maintenance experience at several projects.

T1  - GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN, BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK, BREWSTER COUNTY, TEXAS.
AN  - 36446797; 10164
AB  - PURPOSE: The revision of the general management plan for Big Bend National Park in Brewster County, Texas is proposed. Established in 1935, the 801,000-acre park lies in southwestern Texas along Rio Grande where it forms the Mexico/US international boundary and park officials administer boundary controls. The park includes the largest protected area of Chihuahuan Desert topography and ecosystems in the country and, along with the contiguous areas in Mexico the largest in North America. Archaeologists have discovered artifacts that are estimated to be 9,000 years old, and historic buildings and landscapes illustrate live along the international border at the turn of the 20th century. The park has been and continues to be used for a variety of subsistence and commercial uses. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to water quality in some developed areas, floodplains, threatened and endangered species, and degradation of natural systems. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would perpetuate the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative B) would upgrade some facilities and provide for the construction of a new visitor center at Panther Junction to provide room for interpretive media, allowing adequate interpretation of key aspects of the park's history and to help visitors plan their stays. The space in the headquarters building vacated by the visitor center function would be redesigned for staff offices. A storage warehouse, bunkhouse, and employee residence would also be provided at Panther Junction. The natural resources and collection and management building would adequately provide for the collection storage needs for the duration of the plan. If additional collection storage space became necessary, the other new storage areas would be evaluated to accommodate this need. One employee residence, one employee bunkhouse, and one 12-room visitor lodging unit would be removed from the Chisos Basin to reduce human water consumption in that area. At Rio Grande Village, the recreational vehicle campground would be enlarged by approximately 40 percent to provide no more than 30 total sites. Cottonwood campsites would be relocated away from bank cave-in areas, and a new egress road would be constructed. Fifteen percent of the park personnel and function would be moved to gateway communities where offices and residences would be constructed or leased. Alternative C would remove all facilities from the Chisos Basin and Rio Grande Village, excepting the main road, a trailhead with parking, and a restroom. Under any alternative, the 533,900-acre area within the park that has been proposed for inclusion in the National Wilderness System, as well as 25,700 additional acres that could be added to that area, would be managed as wilderness. The park would also include a segment of the Rio Grande that has been designated as part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Construction, rehabilitation, and restoration costs for the preferred alternative are estimated to range between $18.3 million and $25.0 million. Annual staffing costs estimates range from $5.7 million to $6.3 million POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would create a more sustainable park and provide better protection for the park's natural and cultural resources than the recurrent management regime, while offering enhanced experiences for visitors to the park. The new plan would provide employment for 31 additional full-time-equivalent employees. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Alternative B would result in the disturbance of soils and the associated vegetation and wildlife habitat on 10 acres within the park and 2.5 acres outside the park. Although severe flooding has been infrequent and risks are only minor to moderate, flooding at Rio Grande Village, Cottonwood Campground, or Panther Junction could result in major impacts for the visitors and/or employees involved and flooding at Panther Junction could affect the collection of artifacts at that location. Water conservation measures could result in changing the vegetation cover at Mission 66, a site that is potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places Alternative C, which has not been choses as the preferred alternative, would provide better protection for the park's natural resources than either of the other two alternatives while providing for appropriate levels of visitor use.

T1  - GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN, BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK, BREWSTER COUNTY, TEXAS. [Part 2 of 2]
T2  - GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN, BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK, BREWSTER COUNTY, TEXAS.
AN  - 36373697; 10164-030288_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The revision of the general management plan for Big Bend National Park in Brewster County, Texas is proposed. Established in 1935, the 801,000-acre park lies in southwestern Texas along Rio Grande where it forms the Mexico/US international boundary and park officials administer boundary controls. The park includes the largest protected area of Chihuahuan Desert topography and ecosystems in the country and, along with the contiguous areas in Mexico the largest in North America. Archaeologists have discovered artifacts that are estimated to be 9,000 years old, and historic buildings and landscapes illustrate live along the international border at the turn of the 20th century. The park has been and continues to be used for a variety of subsistence and commercial uses. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to water quality in some developed areas, floodplains, threatened and endangered species, and degradation of natural systems. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would perpetuate the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative B) would upgrade some facilities and provide for the construction of a new visitor center at Panther Junction to provide room for interpretive media, allowing adequate interpretation of key aspects of the park's history and to help visitors plan their stays. The space in the headquarters building vacated by the visitor center function would be redesigned for staff offices. A storage warehouse, bunkhouse, and employee residence would also be provided at Panther Junction. The natural resources and collection and management building would adequately provide for the collection storage needs for the duration of the plan. If additional collection storage space became necessary, the other new storage areas would be evaluated to accommodate this need. One employee residence, one employee bunkhouse, and one 12-room visitor lodging unit would be removed from the Chisos Basin to reduce human water consumption in that area. At Rio Grande Village, the recreational vehicle campground would be enlarged by approximately 40 percent to provide no more than 30 total sites. Cottonwood campsites would be relocated away from bank cave-in areas, and a new egress road would be constructed. Fifteen percent of the park personnel and function would be moved to gateway communities where offices and residences would be constructed or leased. Alternative C would remove all facilities from the Chisos Basin and Rio Grande Village, excepting the main road, a trailhead with parking, and a restroom. Under any alternative, the 533,900-acre area within the park that has been proposed for inclusion in the National Wilderness System, as well as 25,700 additional acres that could be added to that area, would be managed as wilderness. The park would also include a segment of the Rio Grande that has been designated as part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Construction, rehabilitation, and restoration costs for the preferred alternative are estimated to range between $18.3 million and $25.0 million. Annual staffing costs estimates range from $5.7 million to $6.3 million POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would create a more sustainable park and provide better protection for the park's natural and cultural resources than the recurrent management regime, while offering enhanced experiences for visitors to the park. The new plan would provide employment for 31 additional full-time-equivalent employees. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Alternative B would result in the disturbance of soils and the associated vegetation and wildlife habitat on 10 acres within the park and 2.5 acres outside the park. Although severe flooding has been infrequent and risks are only minor to moderate, flooding at Rio Grande Village, Cottonwood Campground, or Panther Junction could result in major impacts for the visitors and/or employees involved and flooding at Panther Junction could affect the collection of artifacts at that location. Water conservation measures could result in changing the vegetation cover at Mission 66, a site that is potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places Alternative C, which has not been choses as the preferred alternative, would provide better protection for the park's natural resources than either of the other two alternatives while providing for appropriate levels of visitor use.

T1  - INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT: PROVOLT SEED ORCHARD, GRANTS PASS, JACKSON AND JOSEPHINE COUNTIES, OREGON; CHARLES A. SPRAGUE SEED ORCHARD, MERLIN, JOSEPHINE COUNTY, OREGON.
AN  - 36437660; 10162
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of an integrated pest management (IMP) program at the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Provolt Seed Orchard near Grants Pass, Jackson and Josephine counties, Oregon and Charles A. Sprague Orchard near Merlin, Josephine County, Oregon is proposed. The BLM orchard system has been implemented to provide for the production or seed and other vegetative materials used primarily for reforestation and a variety of other land management activities. The orchard suffers from competing and other unwanted vegetation, disease, and insect infestations. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative D), which would perpetuate the current management approach, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative B) would manage pests using all identified biological, chemical, cultural methods as well as prescribed fire and other pest control methods, including aerial esfenvalerate, Bacillus thuringiensis, and fertilizer application by helicopter. Limitations, based on a recent human health risk assessment, scoping comments, and recommendations from a BLM interdisciplinary team, would placed on the use of chemicals to protect workers. The preferred alternative would be designed to minimize insect damage to orchard trees, cone crops, and native plants; remove noxious weeds and control vegetation that favors animal pests and disease conditions; reduce the growth of vegetation to allow tree establishment and growth; reduce fire hazard conditions; treat fungal disease to maintain the health and vigor of the orchard trees used for seed production; and minimize animal damage to orchard trees, native plant beds, and orchard equipment and infrastructure. The No Action Alternative would also use all pest control methods, but would not include all the chemical use limitations provided for under the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The IMP program would manage the insect, weed, animal, and disease problems at the orchard sites and maintain healthy, vigorous crop trees and other plants for appropriate uses at BLM sites elsewhere. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Though worker protection measures would be in place, misuse of chemicals and accidental spills could result in impacts to human health. Under maximum application assumptions, chemicals use could affect fish, including special status species, in onsite streams. IMP program implementation would also result in short-term degradation of localized air quality, temporary increases in fire hazard from waste material left on the ground after treatment, localized changes in terrestrial wildlife habitat, and localized lethal impacts to non-target insects and plants. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT, TRAVIS TYRELL SEED ORCHARD, LORANE, LANE COUNTY, OREGON. [Part 1 of 1]
T2  - INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT, TRAVIS TYRELL SEED ORCHARD, LORANE, LANE COUNTY, OREGON.
AN  - 36379841; 10161-030285_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of an integrated pest management (IMP) program at the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Travis Tyrell Orchard in Lorane, Lane County, Oregon is proposed. The BLM orchard system has been implemented to provide for the production or seed and other vegetative materials used primarily for reforestation and a variety of other land management activities. The orchard suffers from competing and other unwanted vegetation, disease, and insect infestations. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative E), which would perpetuate the current management approach, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative B) would manage pests using all identified biological, chemical, cultural methods as well as prescribed fire and other pest control methods, including aerial esfenvalerate, Bacillus thuringiensis, and fertilizer application by helicopter. Limitations, based on a recent human health risk assessment, scoping comments, and recommendations from a BLM interdisciplinary team, would placed on the use of chemicals to protect workers. The preferred alternative would be designed to minimize insect damage to orchard trees, cone crops, and native plants; remove noxious weeds and control vegetation that favors animal pests and disease conditions; reduce the growth of vegetation to allow tree establishment and growth; reduce fire hazard conditions; treat fungal disease to maintain the health and vigor of the orchard trees used for seed production; and minimize animal damage to orchard trees, native plant beds, and orchard equipment and infrastructure. The No Action Alternative would also use all pest control methods, but would not include all the chemical use limitations provided for under the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The IMP program would manage the insect, weed, animal, and disease problems at the Tyrell orchard and maintain healthy, vigorous crop trees and other plants for appropriate uses at BLM sites elsewhere. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Though worker protection measures would be in place, misuse of chemicals and accidental spills could result in impacts to human health. Under maximum application assumptions, chemicals use could affect fish and a special tadpole species, in onsite streams. IMP program implementation would also result in short-term degradation of localized air quality, temporary increases in fire hazard from waste material left on the ground after treatment, localized changes in terrestrial wildlife habitat, and localized lethal impacts to non-target insects and plants. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - LAND EXCHANGE BETWEEN THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AND THE EASTERN BAND OF THE CHEROKEE INDIANS AT THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK, CHEROKEE, NORTH CAROLINA.
AN  - 36430697; 10157
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land exchange between the National Park Service NPS and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Cherokee, North Carolina is proposed. The land exchange was proposed by the EBCI as a means of securing suitable land to build a three-school campus for the tribe and has been the subject of congressional direction to the NPS. A general agreement between the NPS and the EBCI concerning was finalized and signed in June 2000. Under the proposed action a 168 acres within a tract known as the Ravensford site, located on the North Carolina side of the park would be exchanged for land of equal or greater monetary value that would be consolidated within a unit of the NPS in North Carolina as allowed under the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act. The Ravensford site is currently maintained as open fields for the most part and can be viewed from several points along the park. Important natural resources present on the site include 140 acres of prime farmland soils and four broad categories of terrestrial plant communities, including upland forest, farmland, floodplain forest, wetlands, and open fields. In addition, the Oconaluftee River and Raven Fork, which support two major aquatic communities, run through the site. The site could provide habitat for one state-listed endangered and 34 other special status species, and 255 new park records and 58 species that are, or are thought to be, new to science have been found on and adjacent to the site. The Ravensford site is rich in cultural resources, containing intact deposits and/or features associated with over 8,000 years of human occupation. The land to be turned over to the NPS by the EBCI would consist of a 218-acre site adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway known as the Watterock Knob site. The Waterrock Knob site, located in Jackson County directly across the Blueridge Parkway from the Waterrock Knob Visitor Center, is currently undeveloped and can be viewed only from the Parkway and the Visitor Center. The site includes a diversity of plant communities, habitat for two federally listed endangered species, three state-listed threatened species, and 31 other special status species as well as 32 invertebrates that are, or are thought to be, new to science. In addition to the proposed alternative, a No Action Alternative and two land exchange alternatives are considered in this draft EIS Under the two action alternatives, the Waterrock Knob site would remain undeveloped. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing land for tribal schools, the exchange would reestablish the jurisdictional integrity of the Qualla Boundary, also known as the EBCI Reservation. Land transferred to the NPS would fall under its direct administration, ensuring its preservation and use for national park purposes. This land would help consolidate NPS holdings and, thereby, prevent uses that conflict with park management direction. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Land disposed of by the NPS would no longer be under its control, a minor impact mitigated by the fact the development plans of the site are already set out and well-known. Developments at the Ravensford site could affect the abovementioned rich natural and cultural resources located within the sites, including forest, wetlands, floodplain land, and open field. Noise levels in the vicinity of the two sites would increase somewhat, and new structures would mar visual aesthetics to some extent. LEGAL MANDATES: Land and Water Conservation Fund Act and National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (PL Chapter 408, 39 Stat. 535).

T1  - MOUNTAINTOP MINING/VALLEY FILLS IN APPALACHIA: WEST VIRGINIA, VIRGINIA, KENTUCKY, VIRGINIA, AND TENNESSEE. [Part 1 of 1]
T2  - MOUNTAINTOP MINING/VALLEY FILLS IN APPALACHIA: WEST VIRGINIA, VIRGINIA, KENTUCKY, VIRGINIA, AND TENNESSEE.
AN  - 36368087; 060032D-050488_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of mountaintop mining and associated valley fill operations in the Appalachian areas of Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia is proposed. The 12-million-acre study area encompasses most of eastern Kentucky, southern West Virginia, western Virginia, and scattered areas of eastern Tennessee. A 1998 federal agency estimate indicates that the area contains 28.5 billion tons of high-quality coal reserves. The study area contains approximately 59,000 miles of perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral stream. Most of the streams are headwater streams, which provide diverse invertebrate assemblages, some unique aquatic species, organic energy critical to fish and other aquatic species, and rich plant life and habitat for migratory songbirds, mammals, and amphibians. Mountaintop mining includes all types of surface coal mining, including mountaintop removal, in the steep terrain of the central Appalachian coal fields. Removal of overburden and interburden during mountaintop mining operations results in the generation of excess spoil due to the fact that the broken rock would not entirely fit back into the mining pit. The excess spoil must be placed in disposal sites adjacent to the mining pits in order to allow for efficient and economical coal extraction. Valleys constitute the typical location for excess spoil disposal sites. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this programmatic draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would involve development of enhanced coordination of regulatory agencies' actions while maintaining independent review and decision-making by each agency. The size, location, and number of valley fills allowed in waters of the US would be cooperatively determined by agencies responsible for the pertinent application of the Clean Water Act (also known as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (FWPCA)) and the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). The Office of Surface Mining (OSM) would apply functional stream assessments to determine onsite mitigation. OSM rules would be finalized to make stream buffers zone more consistent with SMCRA and FWPCA. ISM excess spoil rules would be finalized to provide for minimization and alternatives analyses. The Army Corps of Engineers (COE) would make case-by-case decisions regarding nationwide permit (NWP) or individual permit (IP) processing. Public interest review and National Environmental Policy Act compliance by the COE would occur for IPs and would be informed, to the extent possible, by the SMCRA permit process. Mitigation of unavoidable aquatic impacts would be required. Endangered Species Act evaluations for IPs would be handled largely by the SCMRA agency. The US Fish and Wildlife Service would retain the ability to consult on unresolved endangered species issues for all FWPCA applications. Cross-program actions would include rulemaking; improved data collection, sharing, and analysis; development of joint application, harmonized public participation, procedures, best management practices and advanced identification designation evaluations; and close interagency coordination. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Mountaintop mining would provide an economically feasible means of accessing the enormous coal reserves in the region. Coal mined from the area would provide fuel for use by electric generation facilities throughout the region and the country. The proposed environmental review process would serve to minimize the adverse impacts of mining and valley fills on aquatic and terrestrial resources, particularly resources of importance to threatened and endangered species of animals and plants. In addition, agency oversight and coordination would provide additional protection to public safety. The review process for mining operations would be streamlined significantly, saving operator and federal agency costs while ensuring adequate environmental and socioeconomic impact monitoring and mitigation. Surface mining activities would employ a significant number of local and regional workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities would destroy terrestrial vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. Disposal of spoil in valley locations would degrade and/or destroy stream habitat, including habitat for federally protected animal and plant species. Water quality in receiving surface flows would be degraded near spoil disposal sites and along downstream reaches. Use of explosives and other aggressive mining techniques associated with mountaintop mining would result in the emission of noise and particulate matter and other air pollutants. The loss of mountain tops would change the visual appearance and the topography of the affected areas significantly. Mining activities would alter social interactions in affected local communities. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.)

AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of mountaintop mining and associated valley fill operations in the Appalachian areas of Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia is proposed. The 12-million-acre study area encompasses most of eastern Kentucky, southern West Virginia, western Virginia, and scattered areas of eastern Tennessee. A 1998 federal agency estimate indicates that the area contains 28.5 billion tons of high-quality coal reserves. The study area contains approximately 59,000 miles of perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral stream. Most of the streams are headwater streams, which provide diverse invertebrate assemblages, some unique aquatic species, organic energy critical to fish and other aquatic species, and rich plant life and habitat for migratory songbirds, mammals, and amphibians. Mountaintop mining includes all types of surface coal mining, including mountaintop removal, in the steep terrain of the central Appalachian coal fields. Removal of overburden and interburden during mountaintop mining operations results in the generation of excess spoil due to the fact that the broken rock would not entirely fit back into the mining pit. The excess spoil must be placed in disposal sites adjacent to the mining pits in order to allow for efficient and economical coal extraction. Valleys constitute the typical location for excess spoil disposal sites. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this programmatic draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would enhance coordination of regulatory actions while maintaining independent review and decision-making by each agency. The size, location, and number of valley fills allowed in waters of the US would be cooperatively determined by agencies responsible for the pertinent application of the Clean Water Act (also known as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (FWPCA)) and the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA).

T1  - WILSON'S CREEK NATIONAL BATTLEFIELD GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN, GREENE AND CHRISTIAN COUNTIES, MISSOURI. [Part 1 of 1]
T2  - WILSON'S CREEK NATIONAL BATTLEFIELD GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN, GREENE AND CHRISTIAN COUNTIES, MISSOURI.
AN  - 36349022; 10138-030262_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for Wilson's Creek National Battlefield in Greene and Christian counties, Missouri is proposed. The 1,750-acre battlefield park is approximately 10 miles south of Springfield. on the boundary between Green and Christian counties in the southwestern corner of the state. The park was established in 1960 to preserve and commemorate the Battle of Wilson's Creek, the second battle of the Civil War and the first major battle west of the Mississippi River. The park contains 50 archaeological sites, many of which are associated with the battle as well as a number of historic structures, cultural landscapes, and artifacts related to the battle. At the time of the battle, the valley of Wilson's Creek was a thriving agricultural area with several farms and the homes of numerous families. Only a few remnants of this community remain. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative B) would focus on efforts to commemorate the battle and emphasize a reflective and contemplative visitor experience. Recreational uses would be allowed but would be managed so as not to conflict with the core mission of the park of the primary visitor experience. Park management would work with local schools, museums, and universities as well as officials and agencies from the cities of Springfield, Battlefield, and Republic, and the two counties with jurisdiction within the area. New interpretive displays, programs led by park rangers along interpretive trails, and self-directed programs would be implemented. Alternative C would focus on Wilson Creek's distinctive combination of site integrity and artifact and archival collections in developing the park as an outstanding research center. Boundary adjustment recommendations could be implemented. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The management plan would protect and preserve the historic and archaeological resources associated with the park, while providing appropriate interpretive services for visitors. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Though no additional access points would be developed, construction of parking facilities could result in the loss of vegetation. LEGAL MANDATES: Arizona Desert Act (P.L. 101-628) and National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (PL Chapter 408, 39 Stat. 535). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 02-0385D, Volume 26, Number 4.

T2  - MOUNTAINTOP MINING/VALLEY FILLS IN APPALACHIA, WEST VIRGINIA, VIRGINIA, KENTUCKY, VIRGINIA, AND TENNESSEE.
AN  - 36348914; 10142-030266_0008
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of mountaintop mining and associated valley fill operations in the Appalachian areas of Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia is proposed. The 12-million-acre study area encompasses most of eastern Kentucky, southern West Virginia, western Virginia, and scattered areas of eastern Tennessee. A 1998 federal agency estimate indicates that the area contains 28.5 billion tons of high-quality coal reserves. The study area contains approximately 59,000 miles of perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral stream. Most of the streams are headwater streams, which provide diverse invertebrate assemblages, some unique aquatic species, organic energy critical to fish and other aquatic species, and rich plant life and habitat for migratory songbirds, mammals, and amphibians. Mountaintop mining includes all types of surface coal mining, including mountaintop removal, in the steep terrain of the central Appalachian coal fields. Removal of overburden and interburden during mountaintop mining operations results in the generation of excess spoil due to the fact that the broken rock would not entirely fit back into the mining pit. The excess spoil must be placed in disposal sites adjacent to the mining pits in order to allow for efficient and economical coal extraction. Valleys constitute the typical location for excess spoil disposal sites. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this programmatic draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would enhance coordination of regulatory actions while maintaining independent review and decision-making by each agency. The size, location, and number of valley fills allowed in waters of the US would be cooperatively determined by agencies responsible for the pertinent application of the Clean Water Act (also known as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (FWPCA)) and the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). The Office of Surface Mining (OSM) would apply functional stream assessments to determine onsite mitigation. OSM rules would be finalized to make stream buffers zone more consistent with SMCRA and FWPCA. ISM excess spoil rules would be finalized to provide for minimization and alternatives analyses. The Army Corps of Engineers (COE) would make case-by-case decisions regarding nationwide permit (NWP) or individual permit (IP) processing. Public interest review and National Environmental Policy Act compliance by the COE would occur for IPs and would be informed, to the extent possible, by the SMCRA permit process. Mitigation of unavoidable aquatic impacts would be required. Endangered Species Act evaluations for IPs would be handled largely by the SCMRA agency. The US Fish and Wildlife Service would retain the ability to consult on nresolved endangered species issues for all FWPCA applications. Cross-rogram actinos wold include rulemaking; improved data collection, sharing, and analysis; development of joint application, harmonized public participation, procedures, best management practices and advanced identification designation evaluations; and close interagency coordination. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Mountaintop mining would provide an economically feasible means of accessing the enormous coal reserves in the region. Coal mined from the area would provide fuel for use by electric generation facilities throughout the region and the country. The proposed environmental review process would serve to minimize the adverse impacts of mining and valley fills on on aquatic and terrestrial resources, particularly resources of importance to threatened and endangered species of animals and plants. In addition, agency oversight and coordination would provide additional protection to public safety. The review process for mining operations would be streamlined significantly, saving operator and federal agency costs while ensuring adequate environmental and socioeconomic impact monitoring and mitigation. Surface mining activities would employ a significant number of local and regional workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities would destroy terrestrial vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. Disposal of spoil in valley locations would degrade and/or destroy stream habitat, including habitat for federally protected animal and plant species. Water quality in receiving surface flows would be degraded near spoil disposal sites and along downstream reaches. Use of explosives and other aggressive mining techiques associated with mountaintop mining would result in the emission of noise and particulate matter and other air pollutants. The loss of mountain tops would change the the visual appearance and the topography of the affected areas significantly. Mining activities would alter social interactions in affected local communities. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.)

T1  - MOUNTAINTOP MINING/VALLEY FILLS IN APPALACHIA, WEST VIRGINIA, VIRGINIA, KENTUCKY, VIRGINIA, AND TENNESSEE. [Part 1 of 13]
T2  - MOUNTAINTOP MINING/VALLEY FILLS IN APPALACHIA, WEST VIRGINIA, VIRGINIA, KENTUCKY, VIRGINIA, AND TENNESSEE.
AN  - 36348242; 10142-030266_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of mountaintop mining and associated valley fill operations in the Appalachian areas of Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia is proposed. The 12-million-acre study area encompasses most of eastern Kentucky, southern West Virginia, western Virginia, and scattered areas of eastern Tennessee. A 1998 federal agency estimate indicates that the area contains 28.5 billion tons of high-quality coal reserves. The study area contains approximately 59,000 miles of perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral stream. Most of the streams are headwater streams, which provide diverse invertebrate assemblages, some unique aquatic species, organic energy critical to fish and other aquatic species, and rich plant life and habitat for migratory songbirds, mammals, and amphibians. Mountaintop mining includes all types of surface coal mining, including mountaintop removal, in the steep terrain of the central Appalachian coal fields. Removal of overburden and interburden during mountaintop mining operations results in the generation of excess spoil due to the fact that the broken rock would not entirely fit back into the mining pit. The excess spoil must be placed in disposal sites adjacent to the mining pits in order to allow for efficient and economical coal extraction. Valleys constitute the typical location for excess spoil disposal sites. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this programmatic draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would enhance coordination of regulatory actions while maintaining independent review and decision-making by each agency. The size, location, and number of valley fills allowed in waters of the US would be cooperatively determined by agencies responsible for the pertinent application of the Clean Water Act (also known as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (FWPCA)) and the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). The Office of Surface Mining (OSM) would apply functional stream assessments to determine onsite mitigation. OSM rules would be finalized to make stream buffers zone more consistent with SMCRA and FWPCA. ISM excess spoil rules would be finalized to provide for minimization and alternatives analyses. The Army Corps of Engineers (COE) would make case-by-case decisions regarding nationwide permit (NWP) or individual permit (IP) processing. Public interest review and National Environmental Policy Act compliance by the COE would occur for IPs and would be informed, to the extent possible, by the SMCRA permit process. Mitigation of unavoidable aquatic impacts would be required. Endangered Species Act evaluations for IPs would be handled largely by the SCMRA agency. The US Fish and Wildlife Service would retain the ability to consult on nresolved endangered species issues for all FWPCA applications. Cross-rogram actinos wold include rulemaking; improved data collection, sharing, and analysis; development of joint application, harmonized public participation, procedures, best management practices and advanced identification designation evaluations; and close interagency coordination. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Mountaintop mining would provide an economically feasible means of accessing the enormous coal reserves in the region. Coal mined from the area would provide fuel for use by electric generation facilities throughout the region and the country. The proposed environmental review process would serve to minimize the adverse impacts of mining and valley fills on on aquatic and terrestrial resources, particularly resources of importance to threatened and endangered species of animals and plants. In addition, agency oversight and coordination would provide additional protection to public safety. The review process for mining operations would be streamlined significantly, saving operator and federal agency costs while ensuring adequate environmental and socioeconomic impact monitoring and mitigation. Surface mining activities would employ a significant number of local and regional workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities would destroy terrestrial vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. Disposal of spoil in valley locations would degrade and/or destroy stream habitat, including habitat for federally protected animal and plant species. Water quality in receiving surface flows would be degraded near spoil disposal sites and along downstream reaches. Use of explosives and other aggressive mining techiques associated with mountaintop mining would result in the emission of noise and particulate matter and other air pollutants. The loss of mountain tops would change the the visual appearance and the topography of the affected areas significantly. Mining activities would alter social interactions in affected local communities. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.)

T2  - WEST MOJAVE PLAN: A HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN AND CALIFORNIA DESERT CONSERVATION AREA PLAN AMENDMENT, SAN BERNARDINO, INYO, KERN, AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36348023; 10143-030267_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a habitat conservation plan and the amendment of the associated federal land use plan for the West Mojave area of the California Desert Area of San Bernardino, Inyo, Kern, and Los Angeles counties, California are proposed. The plan and the amendment would provide for a comprehensive strategy to conserve and protect the desert tortoise, the Mojave ground squirrel, and nearly 100 other sensitive plants and animals and their natural communities. The planning area, which is located north of Los Angeles, encompasses 3.3 million acres of federal land, 102,168 acres of state land, and 3.0 million acres of private land. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative G), which would perpetuate existing conservation strategies, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative A) would provide for a multi-species conservation strategy applicable to public and private lands throughout the planning area. The habitat conservation plan would provide for conservation measures for a compensation framework, incidental take permits, specific species, a public land livestock grazing program, a public land motorized vehicle access network, an education program, a monitoring component, and adaptive management strategies. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would promote the protection of sufficient habitat to ensure the long-term viability of the tortoise population, establishment of an upward or stationary trend in the tortoise population of the West Mojave Recovery Unit for at lease 25 years, and ensure genetic connectivity among some desert tortoise populations, both within the Mojave Recovery Unit and between the unit and other recovery units. The plan would promote efficient processing of proposals to develop areas population by tortoise and other sensitive species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would not appropriately delineate movement corridors, nor would it provide for connectivity to the eastern recovery unit or for minimum connector widths. Appropriate population monitoring would not be possible. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).

AN  - 36347431; 10143-030267_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a habitat conservation plan and the amendment of the associated federal land use plan for the West Mojave area of the California Desert Area of San Bernardino, Inyo, Kern, and Los Angeles counties, California are proposed. The plan and the amendment would provide for a comprehensive strategy to conserve and protect the desert tortoise, the Mojave ground squirrel, and nearly 100 other sensitive plants and animals and their natural communities. The planning area, which is located north of Los Angeles, encompasses 3.3 million acres of federal land, 102,168 acres of state land, and 3.0 million acres of private land. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative G), which would perpetuate existing conservation strategies, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative A) would provide for a multi-species conservation strategy applicable to public and private lands throughout the planning area. The habitat conservation plan would provide for conservation measures for a compensation framework, incidental take permits, specific species, a public land livestock grazing program, a public land motorized vehicle access network, an education program, a monitoring component, and adaptive management strategies. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would promote the protection of sufficient habitat to ensure the long-term viability of the tortoise population, establishment of an upward or stationary trend in the tortoise population of the West Mojave Recovery Unit for at lease 25 years, and ensure genetic connectivity among some desert tortoise populations, both within the Mojave Recovery Unit and between the unit and other recovery units. The plan would promote efficient processing of proposals to develop areas population by tortoise and other sensitive species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would not appropriately delineate movement corridors, nor would it provide for connectivity to the eastern recovery unit or for minimum connector widths. Appropriate population monitoring would not be possible. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).

T2  - MOUNTAINTOP MINING/VALLEY FILLS IN APPALACHIA, WEST VIRGINIA, VIRGINIA, KENTUCKY, VIRGINIA, AND TENNESSEE.
AN  - 36347387; 10142-030266_0011
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of mountaintop mining and associated valley fill operations in the Appalachian areas of Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia is proposed. The 12-million-acre study area encompasses most of eastern Kentucky, southern West Virginia, western Virginia, and scattered areas of eastern Tennessee. A 1998 federal agency estimate indicates that the area contains 28.5 billion tons of high-quality coal reserves. The study area contains approximately 59,000 miles of perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral stream. Most of the streams are headwater streams, which provide diverse invertebrate assemblages, some unique aquatic species, organic energy critical to fish and other aquatic species, and rich plant life and habitat for migratory songbirds, mammals, and amphibians. Mountaintop mining includes all types of surface coal mining, including mountaintop removal, in the steep terrain of the central Appalachian coal fields. Removal of overburden and interburden during mountaintop mining operations results in the generation of excess spoil due to the fact that the broken rock would not entirely fit back into the mining pit. The excess spoil must be placed in disposal sites adjacent to the mining pits in order to allow for efficient and economical coal extraction. Valleys constitute the typical location for excess spoil disposal sites. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this programmatic draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would enhance coordination of regulatory actions while maintaining independent review and decision-making by each agency. The size, location, and number of valley fills allowed in waters of the US would be cooperatively determined by agencies responsible for the pertinent application of the Clean Water Act (also known as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (FWPCA)) and the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). The Office of Surface Mining (OSM) would apply functional stream assessments to determine onsite mitigation. OSM rules would be finalized to make stream buffers zone more consistent with SMCRA and FWPCA. ISM excess spoil rules would be finalized to provide for minimization and alternatives analyses. The Army Corps of Engineers (COE) would make case-by-case decisions regarding nationwide permit (NWP) or individual permit (IP) processing. Public interest review and National Environmental Policy Act compliance by the COE would occur for IPs and would be informed, to the extent possible, by the SMCRA permit process. Mitigation of unavoidable aquatic impacts would be required. Endangered Species Act evaluations for IPs would be handled largely by the SCMRA agency. The US Fish and Wildlife Service would retain the ability to consult on nresolved endangered species issues for all FWPCA applications. Cross-rogram actinos wold include rulemaking; improved data collection, sharing, and analysis; development of joint application, harmonized public participation, procedures, best management practices and advanced identification designation evaluations; and close interagency coordination. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Mountaintop mining would provide an economically feasible means of accessing the enormous coal reserves in the region. Coal mined from the area would provide fuel for use by electric generation facilities throughout the region and the country. The proposed environmental review process would serve to minimize the adverse impacts of mining and valley fills on on aquatic and terrestrial resources, particularly resources of importance to threatened and endangered species of animals and plants. In addition, agency oversight and coordination would provide additional protection to public safety. The review process for mining operations would be streamlined significantly, saving operator and federal agency costs while ensuring adequate environmental and socioeconomic impact monitoring and mitigation. Surface mining activities would employ a significant number of local and regional workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities would destroy terrestrial vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. Disposal of spoil in valley locations would degrade and/or destroy stream habitat, including habitat for federally protected animal and plant species. Water quality in receiving surface flows would be degraded near spoil disposal sites and along downstream reaches. Use of explosives and other aggressive mining techiques associated with mountaintop mining would result in the emission of noise and particulate matter and other air pollutants. The loss of mountain tops would change the the visual appearance and the topography of the affected areas significantly. Mining activities would alter social interactions in affected local communities. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.)

Cross-rogram actinos wold include rulemaking; improved data collection, sharing, and analysis; development of joint application, harmonized public participation, procedures, best management practices and advanced identification designation evaluations; and close interagency coordination. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Mountaintop mining would provide an economically feasible means of accessing the enormous coal reserves in the region. Coal mined from the area would provide fuel for use by electric generation facilities throughout the region and the country. The proposed environmental review process would serve to minimize the adverse impacts of mining and valley fills on on aquatic and terrestrial resources, particularly resources of importance to threatened and endangered species of animals and plants. In addition, agency oversight and coordination would provide additional protection to public safety. The review process for mining operations would be streamlined significantly, saving operator and federal agency costs while ensuring adequate environmental and socioeconomic impact monitoring and mitigation. Surface mining activities would employ a significant number of local and regional workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities would destroy terrestrial vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. Disposal of spoil in valley locations would degrade and/or destroy stream habitat, including habitat for federally protected animal and plant species. Water quality in receiving surface flows would be degraded near spoil disposal sites and along downstream reaches. Use of explosives and other aggressive mining techiques associated with mountaintop mining would result in the emission of noise and particulate matter and other air pollutants. The loss of mountain tops would change the the visual appearance and the topography of the affected areas significantly. Mining activities would alter social interactions in affected local communities. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.)

AN  - 36347243; 10142-030266_0005
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of mountaintop mining and associated valley fill operations in the Appalachian areas of Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia is proposed. The 12-million-acre study area encompasses most of eastern Kentucky, southern West Virginia, western Virginia, and scattered areas of eastern Tennessee. A 1998 federal agency estimate indicates that the area contains 28.5 billion tons of high-quality coal reserves. The study area contains approximately 59,000 miles of perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral stream. Most of the streams are headwater streams, which provide diverse invertebrate assemblages, some unique aquatic species, organic energy critical to fish and other aquatic species, and rich plant life and habitat for migratory songbirds, mammals, and amphibians. Mountaintop mining includes all types of surface coal mining, including mountaintop removal, in the steep terrain of the central Appalachian coal fields. Removal of overburden and interburden during mountaintop mining operations results in the generation of excess spoil due to the fact that the broken rock would not entirely fit back into the mining pit. The excess spoil must be placed in disposal sites adjacent to the mining pits in order to allow for efficient and economical coal extraction. Valleys constitute the typical location for excess spoil disposal sites. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this programmatic draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would enhance coordination of regulatory actions while maintaining independent review and decision-making by each agency. The size, location, and number of valley fills allowed in waters of the US would be cooperatively determined by agencies responsible for the pertinent application of the Clean Water Act (also known as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (FWPCA)) and the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). The Office of Surface Mining (OSM) would apply functional stream assessments to determine onsite mitigation. OSM rules would be finalized to make stream buffers zone more consistent with SMCRA and FWPCA. ISM excess spoil rules would be finalized to provide for minimization and alternatives analyses. The Army Corps of Engineers (COE) would make case-by-case decisions regarding nationwide permit (NWP) or individual permit (IP) processing. Public interest review and National Environmental Policy Act compliance by the COE would occur for IPs and would be informed, to the extent possible, by the SMCRA permit process. Mitigation of unavoidable aquatic impacts would be required. Endangered Species Act evaluations for IPs would be handled largely by the SCMRA agency. The US Fish and Wildlife Service would retain the ability to consult on nresolved endangered species issues for all FWPCA applications.

T1  - WILSON'S CREEK NATIONAL BATTLEFIELD GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN, GREENE AND CHRISTIAN COUNTIES, MISSOURI.
AN  - 16359527; 10138
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for Wilson's Creek National Battlefield in Greene and Christian counties, Missouri is proposed. The 1,750-acre battlefield park is approximately 10 miles south of Springfield. on the boundary between Green and Christian counties in the southwestern corner of the state. The park was established in 1960 to preserve and commemorate the Battle of Wilson's Creek, the second battle of the Civil War and the first major battle west of the Mississippi River. The park contains 50 archaeological sites, many of which are associated with the battle as well as a number of historic structures, cultural landscapes, and artifacts related to the battle. At the time of the battle, the valley of Wilson's Creek was a thriving agricultural area with several farms and the homes of numerous families. Only a few remnants of this community remain. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative B) would focus on efforts to commemorate the battle and emphasize a reflective and contemplative visitor experience. Recreational uses would be allowed but would be managed so as not to conflict with the core mission of the park of the primary visitor experience. Park management would work with local schools, museums, and universities as well as officials and agencies from the cities of Springfield, Battlefield, and Republic, and the two counties with jurisdiction within the area. New interpretive displays, programs led by park rangers along interpretive trails, and self-directed programs would be implemented. Alternative C would focus on Wilson Creek's distinctive combination of site integrity and artifact and archival collections in developing the park as an outstanding research center. Boundary adjustment recommendations could be implemented. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The management plan would protect and preserve the historic and archaeological resources associated with the park, while providing appropriate interpretive services for visitors. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Though no additional access points would be developed, construction of parking facilities could result in the loss of vegetation. LEGAL MANDATES: Arizona Desert Act (P.L. 101-628) and National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (PL Chapter 408, 39 Stat. 535). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 02-0385D, Volume 26, Number 4.

T1  - MOUNTAINTOP MINING/VALLEY FILLS IN APPALACHIA: WEST VIRGINIA, VIRGINIA, KENTUCKY, VIRGINIA, AND TENNESSEE.
AN  - 16354930; 11803
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of mountaintop mining and associated valley fill operations in the Appalachian areas of Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia is proposed. The 12-million-acre study area encompasses most of eastern Kentucky, southern West Virginia, western Virginia, and scattered areas of eastern Tennessee. A 1998 federal agency estimate indicates that the area contains 28.5 billion tons of high-quality coal reserves. The study area contains approximately 59,000 miles of perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral stream. Most of the streams are headwater streams, which provide diverse invertebrate assemblages, some unique aquatic species, organic energy critical to fish and other aquatic species, and rich plant life and habitat for migratory songbirds, mammals, and amphibians. Mountaintop mining includes all types of surface coal mining, including mountaintop removal, in the steep terrain of the central Appalachian coal fields. Removal of overburden and interburden during mountaintop mining operations results in the generation of excess spoil due to the fact that the broken rock would not entirely fit back into the mining pit. The excess spoil must be placed in disposal sites adjacent to the mining pits in order to allow for efficient and economical coal extraction. Valleys constitute the typical location for excess spoil disposal sites. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this programmatic draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would involve development of enhanced coordination of regulatory agencies' actions while maintaining independent review and decision-making by each agency. The size, location, and number of valley fills allowed in waters of the US would be cooperatively determined by agencies responsible for the pertinent application of the Clean Water Act (also known as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (FWPCA)) and the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). The Office of Surface Mining (OSM) would apply functional stream assessments to determine onsite mitigation. OSM rules would be finalized to make stream buffers zone more consistent with SMCRA and FWPCA. ISM excess spoil rules would be finalized to provide for minimization and alternatives analyses. The Army Corps of Engineers (COE) would make case-by-case decisions regarding nationwide permit (NWP) or individual permit (IP) processing. Public interest review and National Environmental Policy Act compliance by the COE would occur for IPs and would be informed, to the extent possible, by the SMCRA permit process. Mitigation of unavoidable aquatic impacts would be required. Endangered Species Act evaluations for IPs would be handled largely by the SCMRA agency. The US Fish and Wildlife Service would retain the ability to consult on unresolved endangered species issues for all FWPCA applications. Cross-program actions would include rulemaking; improved data collection, sharing, and analysis; development of joint application, harmonized public participation, procedures, best management practices and advanced identification designation evaluations; and close interagency coordination. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Mountaintop mining would provide an economically feasible means of accessing the enormous coal reserves in the region. Coal mined from the area would provide fuel for use by electric generation facilities throughout the region and the country. The proposed environmental review process would serve to minimize the adverse impacts of mining and valley fills on aquatic and terrestrial resources, particularly resources of importance to threatened and endangered species of animals and plants. In addition, agency oversight and coordination would provide additional protection to public safety. The review process for mining operations would be streamlined significantly, saving operator and federal agency costs while ensuring adequate environmental and socioeconomic impact monitoring and mitigation. Surface mining activities would employ a significant number of local and regional workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities would destroy terrestrial vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. Disposal of spoil in valley locations would degrade and/or destroy stream habitat, including habitat for federally protected animal and plant species. Water quality in receiving surface flows would be degraded near spoil disposal sites and along downstream reaches. Use of explosives and other aggressive mining techniques associated with mountaintop mining would result in the emission of noise and particulate matter and other air pollutants. The loss of mountain tops would change the visual appearance and the topography of the affected areas significantly. Mining activities would alter social interactions in affected local communities. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.)

T1  - WEST MOJAVE PLAN: A HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN AND CALIFORNIA DESERT CONSERVATION AREA PLAN AMENDMENT, SAN BERNARDINO, INYO, KERN, AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 16347469; 10143
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a habitat conservation plan and the amendment of the associated federal land use plan for the West Mojave area of the California Desert Area of San Bernardino, Inyo, Kern, and Los Angeles counties, California are proposed. The plan and the amendment would provide for a comprehensive strategy to conserve and protect the desert tortoise, the Mojave ground squirrel, and nearly 100 other sensitive plants and animals and their natural communities. The planning area, which is located north of Los Angeles, encompasses 3.3 million acres of federal land, 102,168 acres of state land, and 3.0 million acres of private land. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative G), which would perpetuate existing conservation strategies, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative A) would provide for a multi-species conservation strategy applicable to public and private lands throughout the planning area. The habitat conservation plan would provide for conservation measures for a compensation framework, incidental take permits, specific species, a public land livestock grazing program, a public land motorized vehicle access network, an education program, a monitoring component, and adaptive management strategies. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would promote the protection of sufficient habitat to ensure the long-term viability of the tortoise population, establishment of an upward or stationary trend in the tortoise population of the West Mojave Recovery Unit for at lease 25 years, and ensure genetic connectivity among some desert tortoise populations, both within the Mojave Recovery Unit and between the unit and other recovery units. The plan would promote efficient processing of proposals to develop areas population by tortoise and other sensitive species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would not appropriately delineate movement corridors, nor would it provide for connectivity to the eastern recovery unit or for minimum connector widths. Appropriate population monitoring would not be possible. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).

T1  - COMMERCIAL SEVICES PLAN [FOR] GLACIER NATIONAL PARK, A PORTION OF WATERTON-GLACER INTERNATIONAL PEACE PARK, FLATHEAD AND GLACIER COUNTIES, MONTANA.
AN  - 36436279; 10137
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to manage commercial services in Glacier National Park, a portion of Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, in Flathead and Glacier counties, Montana is proposed. The park has an exceptionally long geological setting and offers spectacular scenery and rare primitive wilderness experiences. The park offers one of the most ecologically intact temperate areas remaining in the continental US. The 1999 general management plan was based on an overall T guiding philosophy of managing most of the park for its wild character and for the integrity of the Glacier's unique natural heritage. The commercial services plan would provide guidance for the levels and types of commercial visitor services and site and facility improvements that are necessary and appropriate for the foreseeable future in the developed areas of the park. Areas affected would include the Apgar, Two Medicine, Lake McDonald, Rising Sun, Many Glavier and Swiftcurrent areas. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to employee housing, visitor/employee separation, vehicle and pedestrian access and circulation floodplain resources, sensitive natural resources, future uses of the Granite Park Chalet, commercial group hikes, organized bicycle tour group size and frequency, other support services for concession operations, modernization or expansion of developments, the length of the construction and operationing seasons, and health, safety, and accessibility issues. Three alternaives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would maintain the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative, which adopts portions of alternatives B and C) would provide for continued operation of the chalet a hiker shelter and accommodation of all related all current services; replacement and expansion of restrooms and provision of potable water at the chalet; cultural and natural history hiking as well as recreational hiking in all areas of the park excepting the North Fork management area; selected boat tours for the Grinnel Lake, Grinnel Glacier, and St. Mary Falls trails; guided underwater diving tours at McDonald, Sherburne, Joesphine, Swiftcurrent, Two Medicine, Pray, Lower Two Medicine, and St. Mary lakes; firewood sales in camp stores and at selected camgrounds; public shower facilities at or near campgrounds; guided interpretive vehicle tours; horseback riding, horse packing, and horse boarding services; guided bicycle tours; commercial step-on guide services; and modification and/or expansion of facilities in the Lake McDonald, Rising Sun, Two Medicine, Many Glacier, and Swiftcurrent developed areas. Cooperation with park neighbors would be emphasized in managing use and resources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Traditional visitor services and facilities would be retained. Visitors would be able to enjoy the park from many vantge points, while visitor use would be managed to preserve and protect natural resoruces. Extension of operating seasons for concession facilities would increase visitor outlays and, thereby, enhance the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction and visitor activities would affect water quality, air quality, soils, vegetation, wildlife, floodplains, natural solitude experiences, historic sites, and views of scenic areas. Energy consumption would increase. Landowners within the park could be affected by increased visitation and changes in visitation areas. LEGAL MANDATES: National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (16 U.S.C. 1 et seq.).

T2  - COMMERCIAL SEVICES PLAN [FOR] GLACIER NATIONAL PARK, A PORTION OF WATERTON-GLACER INTERNATIONAL PEACE PARK, FLATHEAD AND GLACIER COUNTIES, MONTANA.
AN  - 36367153; 10137-030261_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to manage commercial services in Glacier National Park, a portion of Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, in Flathead and Glacier counties, Montana is proposed. The park has an exceptionally long geological setting and offers spectacular scenery and rare primitive wilderness experiences. The park offers one of the most ecologically intact temperate areas remaining in the continental US. The 1999 general management plan was based on an overall T guiding philosophy of managing most of the park for its wild character and for the integrity of the Glacier's unique natural heritage. The commercial services plan would provide guidance for the levels and types of commercial visitor services and site and facility improvements that are necessary and appropriate for the foreseeable future in the developed areas of the park. Areas affected would include the Apgar, Two Medicine, Lake McDonald, Rising Sun, Many Glavier and Swiftcurrent areas. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to employee housing, visitor/employee separation, vehicle and pedestrian access and circulation floodplain resources, sensitive natural resources, future uses of the Granite Park Chalet, commercial group hikes, organized bicycle tour group size and frequency, other support services for concession operations, modernization or expansion of developments, the length of the construction and operationing seasons, and health, safety, and accessibility issues. Three alternaives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would maintain the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative, which adopts portions of alternatives B and C) would provide for continued operation of the chalet a hiker shelter and accommodation of all related all current services; replacement and expansion of restrooms and provision of potable water at the chalet; cultural and natural history hiking as well as recreational hiking in all areas of the park excepting the North Fork management area; selected boat tours for the Grinnel Lake, Grinnel Glacier, and St. Mary Falls trails; guided underwater diving tours at McDonald, Sherburne, Joesphine, Swiftcurrent, Two Medicine, Pray, Lower Two Medicine, and St. Mary lakes; firewood sales in camp stores and at selected camgrounds; public shower facilities at or near campgrounds; guided interpretive vehicle tours; horseback riding, horse packing, and horse boarding services; guided bicycle tours; commercial step-on guide services; and modification and/or expansion of facilities in the Lake McDonald, Rising Sun, Two Medicine, Many Glacier, and Swiftcurrent developed areas. Cooperation with park neighbors would be emphasized in managing use and resources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Traditional visitor services and facilities would be retained. Visitors would be able to enjoy the park from many vantge points, while visitor use would be managed to preserve and protect natural resoruces. Extension of operating seasons for concession facilities would increase visitor outlays and, thereby, enhance the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction and visitor activities would affect water quality, air quality, soils, vegetation, wildlife, floodplains, natural solitude experiences, historic sites, and views of scenic areas. Energy consumption would increase. Landowners within the park could be affected by increased visitation and changes in visitation areas. LEGAL MANDATES: National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (16 U.S.C. 1 et seq.).

T1  - RECREATION AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN AND AMENDMENT TO THE CALIFORNIA DESERT CONSERVATION AREA PLAN: IMPERIAL AND DUNES RECREATION AREA, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36438557; 10122
AB  - PURPOSE: The modification of the management plan for the 227,000-acre Imperial Sand Dune Recreation Area of the California Desert Area, Imperial County, California. The recreation area lies approximately 25 miles west of the Colorado River and immediately north of the Mexican border. The plan modification would include designation of management areas, assignment of recreation opportunity spectrum classifications to those management areas, enhancement of efforts to encourage a safe and enjoyable recreational experience for visitors, and public education about off-highway vehicle (OHV) use in the context of the recreational, cultural, and biological resources of the area. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would continue the current management regime, are considered in this final EIS. Management actions common to all action alternatives would include maintenance and management of the area as a unique recreational locale; development of a public relations program with respect to cultural and natural resources and safety; implementation principles of adaptive management; implementation of dust control measures on wash roads and installation of air monitoring equipment; establish various public safety regulations and visitor use limitations, including limitations on OHV us; allowance of commercial vending Friday through Sunday from October 1 through May 31; prohibition of nonrecreational commercial activities during holidays; development or retrofitting of various access and maintenance facilities, all of which would occur outside of primitive areas; and establish and monitor a user fee structure. Variation amongst the alternatives largely is represented by differences in designations for the primary management areas, which includes the Mammoth area, North Algodones Dunes, the Gecko and Glamis areas, the adaptive management area, the Ogilby area, Dune Buggy Flats, Buttercup, and the buffer area. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 2), the plan would provide for a visitor supply of 80,444 visitors per day; open six areas to unlimited off-high-vehicle (OHV) use and one to permit use only and close one area to OHV use; classify eight areas via recreational opportunity spectrum categories, including one semi-primitive non-motorized area, two semi-primitive motorized area, three roaded natural areas, and two rural areas; manage 25,202 acres as wilderness and 132,870 for unlimited use; implement a dust control plan; provide new ranger stations at Cahuilla and Buttercup; implement an extensive law enforcement plan; add seven free use days in December; provide for vending from noon Thursday through non Monday at the three short-term private landowner businesses adjacent to the area after September 2003 as well as additional vending day around holiday periods and one long-term vending area (seven days per week); develop a business plan to move towards a fee-based program; and reduce dependence on grants and federal appropriations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Any alternative would provide for the conservation of the unique recreational opportunities afforded by the area. Road and OHV access into and within the area would be controlled to allow for a balance of recreational opportunity, public safety protection, and resource protection. The area would continue to contribute to regional tourism-related income. Action alternatives would result in the improvement of air quality in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under certain alternatives, special status plants and wildlife would be impacted. The alternatives vary in the level of land and vegetation disturbance by OHVs that would be expected. Access to some areas could be more restricted at present. LEGAL MANDATES: California Desert Protection Act of 1994 (P.L. 103-433) and Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.)

T1  - GOING-TO-THE-SUN ROAD REHABILITATION PLAN, WATERTON-GLACIER INTERNATIONAL PEACE PARK, THE WORLD'S FIRST INTERNATIONAL PEACE PARK, A WORLD HERITAGE SITE, MONTANA. [Part 1 of 1]
T2  - GOING-TO-THE-SUN ROAD REHABILITATION PLAN, WATERTON-GLACIER INTERNATIONAL PEACE PARK, THE WORLD'S FIRST INTERNATIONAL PEACE PARK, A WORLD HERITAGE SITE, MONTANA.
AN  - 36346165; 10128-030251_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The rehabilitation of the 50-mile Going-to-the-Sun Road, a national historic landmark within Glacier National Park, Montana is proposed. Completed in 1932, the road is defined by outstanding historic structural features and provides access to some of the most spectacular scenic landscapes in the nation. Road rehabilitation is needed to correct structural deficiencies in the deteriorating roadway, improve safety, preserve the historic and cultural resources associated with the road, provide or a safe and pleasant driving experience, and upgrade visitor use facilities adjacent to the road, including parking areas and pullouts as well as roadside trails. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 3) would involve rehabilitation of the road over a seven- to eight-year period beginning in 2004. Rehabilitation would include repairs to historic retaining walls, guardwalls, tunnels, and other structural features contributing to the historic character of the road. Mitigation measures would include the provision of transit service during construction, additional exhibits and interpretive information, and other visitor use improvements and programs to aid visitors and businesses during rehabilitation. The road and access to Logan Pass would remain open during the visitor season. Inflation-adjusted estimated costs for the preferred alternative range from $140 million to $170 million. Annual road operation and maintenance cost estimates range from $1.5 million to $1.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would balance the need for road rehabilitation and the protection and preservation of historic, scenic, and natural resources with the need to provide for continuous visitor access to the area and to minimize impacts on regional commercial activities. Slope stabilization measures would reduce the potential for landslides and reduce erosion significantly, thereby reducing the delivery of sediment to receiving surface waters. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Traffic delays and, occasionally suspension of the use of the road, would be experienced during periods of rehabilitation work. LEGAL MANDATES: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.) and National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (P.L. Chapter 308 39 Stat. 535).

T1  - NEVADA TEST & TRAINING RANGE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, CLARK, NEY, AND LINCOLN COUNTIES, NEVADA.
AN  - 36438382; 10108
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a 20-year land and resources management plan for the 3.0-million-acre Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) in Clark, Ney, and Lincoln counties, Nevada is proposed. The land has been withdrawn for military purposes. Due to the nature of this withdrawal, some resources are restricted. For example, the entire withdrawn area is closed to casual use by recreationists. The area is a complex assembly of lands managed or regulated by numerous federal, state, and local authorities. Administratively, the NTTR is divided into a North Range and a South Range, these being separated by the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration's Nevada Test Site. The North Range contains the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Nevada Wild Horse Range and the Department of Energy's Tonopay Test Range. Most of the South Range was withdrawn by Congress for joint use by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as the Desert National Wildlife Range (DNWR) and the Air Force. The proposed plan covers only those public lands withdrawn from multiple use under BLM management by Public Law 106-65; it does not cover any lands withdrawn for administration by the USFWS as part of the DNWR. The NTTR is considered the best training facility of its kind in the world. Aircrews from throughout the world come to this site for quality training year-round. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. Alternative B would address the full spectrum of resources to be managed in the planning area. It would provide for habitat improvements, control and eradication of weeds and noxious plant species, protection of sensitive plant and animal species, protection and enhancement of riparian zones, management of vegetation resources through prescribed burning, livestock grazing management, and cultural resources management. Importantly, it would also represent an interpretation of available data to identify the area for the management of wild horses. Wild horse management on the NTTR is one of the most important resource management issues. Alternative C would replicate the provisions under Alternative B, with the exception of those affecting wild horse ranges, reducing lands managed for wild horse ranges significantly. Alternative D would also mirror Alternative B except for the treatment of the wild horse issue. Under Alterative D, wild horses would be entirely removed from the NTTR. The proposed action would replicate Alternative B, except that it would decrease the appropriate management level for horses somewhat, providing for a genetically viable heard of 300 to 500 wild horses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Any alternative would continue to provide for training for pilots of military aircraft, helping to maintain the strategic readiness of the U.S. and its allies. Natural resources within the NTTR would be protected and, in most cases, enhanced under any action alternative. Alternatives B and C would reintroduce wild horses into area currently managed to prevent their presence. Removal of wildhorses from certain areas or all areas within the NTTR would improve water quality and ease the use of the area for military purposes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in the reduction of wild horses on native rangeland. Continued use of the area by the U.S. Air Force and the air forces of foreign government, which would occur under any alternative, would continue to result in noise and other disturbances. Fencing spring and riparian areas would have a direct impact on wild horses that frequent the areas. Some springs would be closed off, eliminating water sources for the animals. Native vegetation would be lost at some sites due to ground-disturbing activities at undisturbed sites. Grazing animals would continue to affect water quality at some springs until these areas are protected by the appropriate means. The NTTR would continue to be closed to other uses, including development of sustainable resources. LEGAL MANDATES: Public Law 106-65.

T1  - PERSONAL WATERCRAFT RULE-MAKING, GLEN CANYON NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, ARIZONA AND UTAH.
AN  - 36437421; 10103
AB  - PURPOSE: The promulgation of a regulation to provide for the management of the use of personal watercraft at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area of Arizona and Utah is proposed. The recreation area encompasses 1.25 million acres of land and water in northern Arizona and southeastern Utah. Lake Powell is the predominant physical feature, covering 163,000 surface acres and providing 1,960 miles of shoreline at full pool. More than 2.0 million people visit the recreational area annually. Many recreationists and environmentals have raised concerns regarding the impact of the use of personal watercraft on environmentally sensitive resources and the recreational experience of persons who do not use such watercraft. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative C), under which all personal watercraft use within the recreational area would be prohibited, are considered in this final EIS. Alternative A would allow watercraft use identical to that allowed before September 2002 under a special regulation. Alternative B, the preferred alternative, would allow personal watercraft use in the recreation area under a special regulation, with additional management restrictions. Personal watercraft use would be prohibited in portions of the Colorado, Escalante, Dirty Devil, and San Juan rivers to increase protection of environmental values and reduce visitor conflict. To further reduce visitor conflict and enhance visitor experience, speed restrictions would be imposed in additional areas of the Escalante and Dirty Devil Rivers. All personal watercraft with two-stoke carbureted engines would be prohibited at the end of 2012. Educational programs and materials would be enhanced to provide more information to visitors on watercraft use and safety as well as on recreation area resources. Development of a monitoring program to evaluate the effects of personal watercraft use on recreation area resources would be emphasized. A lake management plan that would consider all lake uses would be developed to manage the effects on resources by all watercraft use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The regulation would ensure the protection of recreational area resources and values while offering recreational opportunities as provided for the recreation area's enabling legislation, purpose, mission, and goals. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Noise from watercraft would continue to disturb recreationists and wildlife and generally mar the pristine nature of the recreation area. The watercraft would continue to discharge significant emissions of air pollutants. Operation of the watercraft in near-shore areas would result in the loss of shoreline vegetation. Visitor safety would be jeopardized by the operation of personal watercraft in the vicinity of passive recreationists. LEGAL MANDATES: National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (P.L. Chapter 308 39 Stat. 535) and Public Law 92-593. PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 03-0041D, Volume 27, Number 1.

Alternative A would allow watercraft use identical to that allowed before September 2002 under a special regulation. Alternative B, the preferred alternative, would allow personal watercraft use in the recreation area under a special regulation, with additional management restrictions. Personal watercraft use would be prohibited in portions of the Colorado, Escalante, Dirty Devil, and San Juan rivers to increase protection of environmental values and reduce visitor conflict. To further reduce visitor conflict and enhance visitor experience, speed restrictions would be imposed in additional areas of the Escalante and Dirty Devil Rivers. All personal watercraft with two-stoke carbureted engines would be prohibited at the end of 2012. Educational programs and materials would be enhanced to provide more information to visitors on watercraft use and safety as well as on recreation area resources. Development of a monitoring program to evaluate the effects of personal watercraft use on recreation area resources would be emphasized. A lake management plan that would consider all lake uses would be developed to manage the effects on resources by all watercraft use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The regulation would ensure the protection of recreational area resources and values while offering recreational opportunities as provided for the recreation area's enabling legislation, purpose, mission, and goals. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Noise from watercraft would continue to disturb recreationists and wildlife and generally mar the pristine nature of the recreation area. The watercraft would continue to discharge significant emissions of air pollutants. Operation of the watercraft in near-shore areas would result in the loss of shoreline vegetation. Visitor safety would be jeopardized by the operation of personal watercraft in the vicinity of passive recreationists. LEGAL MANDATES: National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (P.L. Chapter 308 39 Stat. 535) and Public Law 92-593. PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 03-0041D, Volume 27, Number 1.

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 500-megawatt (MW) gas-fired electric power plant in southern Clark County, Nevada are proposed. Two plant site alternatives, four transmission line routes, and four alternative transmission line and water supply access options to the Goodsprings Plant Site were considered in the draft EIS. Two plant sites are considered in detail. The two closely considered sites include a site located on a 30-acre tract approximately 2.5 miles southeast of Goodsprings and a site that would be co-located with the Reliant Bighorn Generating Facility in Primm. Regardless of the plant site location, the facility would consist of a refrigerated, air-cooled, combined-cycle, gas-fired plant with a nominal output of 500 MW. The facility would employ two Westinghouse 501FD-60 Hz natural gas-fired combustion turbine generators that would capture exhaust heat. A heat recovery system would be used to supply steam to drive a single steam turbine generator. Each of the combustion turbines would be equipped with dry low nitrous oxide combustors and selective catalytic reduction ammonia injection systems to control nitrous oxide emissions. In addition, a non-selective catalytic reduction unit would be used to control emissions of carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds. Full load output of the facility under expected operating conditions (both combustion turbine generators and the steam turbine generator running) would range from approximately 450 net MW to 540 net MW, depending on ambient air temperature. Process water requirements for the facility would be minimized through the use of refrigerated, air-cooled technology that would reduce requirements from approximately 300 acre-feet per year to 50 acre-feet per year. Potential impacts to water resources would be further reduced through the use of gray water from the southern Nevada Correctional Center. A water treatment plant would be constructed at the center and a pipeline extended from the water treatment plant to the power plant site. A well owned by the Las Vegas Valley Water District and located near the correctional center would provide backup water supply should the gray water flows from the correctional center be interrupted. Electric power generated by the facility would enter the southern Nevada power grid through the Mead substation, which is operated by the Western Power Administration. The proposed interconnection would require new installation and modification of Western's equipment at Mead. This abbreviated final EIS provides and update of the status of the project, summarizes the agencies' process for responding to comments, contains formal responses to comments, includes errata sheets, and provides supplemental information acquired following issuance of the draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The power plant would provide additional, reliable electrical generating capacity within the southwestern United States to aid in meeting near-term and future power needs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Goodsprings Alternative would disturb 40 acres of land and displace 30 acres of land for the duration of the life of the plant. Natural gas pipeline, roadway, and transmission rights-of-way would displace additional land and the associated habitat. Transmission facilities could cross mountainous train, resulting the loss of habitat and degradation of visual aesthetics in the affected areas. Habitat of the federally protected desert tortoise would be displaced. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 03-0023D, Volume 27, Number 1.

T1  - WILLISTON BASIN INTERSTATE PIPELINE COMPANY, GRASSLANDS PIPELINE PROJECT, MONTANA, NORTH DAKOTA, AND WYOMING.
AN  - 36426581; 10096
AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a certificate of public convenience and necessity and other environmental permits for the construction and operation of an interstate natural gas pipeline system from northeastern Wyoming to southwestern North Dakota is proposed. The applicant (Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company) proposes to construct 253 miles of new and looped pipeline, provide for approximately 5,380 horsepower (hp) of additional compression at one new and one existing compressor station, and install other associated ancillary facilities in various locations in Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota. The project would involve the construction 223 miles of 16-inch-diameter pipeline from a point near Belle Creek Montana to an interconnection with Northern Border Pipeline Company's system near Manning, North, Dakota; construction of 28 miles of 16-inch-diameter looping along the existing eight-inch-diameter Bitter Creek supply lateral pipeline in Campbell County, Wyoming; upgrading of 40 miles of existing 8-inch-diameter Recluse-Bell Creek supply lateral pipeline in Wyoming and Montana, installation of a 4,180-hp compressor in Dunn County, North Dakota; addition of a 1,200-hp compressor unit at the existing Cabin Creek Compressor Station in Fallon County, Montana; construction of 0.9 mile of 12-inch-diameter lateral pipeline in Fallon County; installation of 1.0 mile of 16-inch-diameter pipeline from the proposed Manning Compressor Station to the interconnect with the Northern Border Pipeline Company Compressor Station 5 in Dunn Count, North Dakota; installation of various metering and pressure-regulating facilities in the three-state area; increasing the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) for 28 miles of the existing eight-inch-diameter Bitter Creek supply lateral in Campbell County; increasing the MAOP for 40 miles of the existing eight-inch-diameter Recluse-Belle Creek supply lateral pipeline in Campbell County and in Powder River and Carter counties, Montana; and construction of certain miscellaneous facilities, including five metering facilities, 14 mainline block valves, eight pig launcher/receiver sites, six cathodic protection units, and three pressure regulators. Cost of the project is estimated at $57.9 million. In addition to the proposed project, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative and an alternative that would postpone the proposed action. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The system would transport 80 million cubic feet of natural gas per day from the Powder River Basin to the applicant's storage facilities in Montana and to Northern Border Pipeline Company's system in North Dakota, helping to meet the regional demand for natural gas for domestic and industrial purposes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would affect 3,140 acres of land, while operation of the pipeline system would displace 1,530 acres, and 11 acres would be required for the operation of aboveground facilities. Vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat would be disturbed and/or displaced. The pipelines would traverse 319 intermittent waterbodies and eight perennial waterbodies; one of the latter (the Little Missouri River) is considered a major waterbody. The system would traverse 174 wetlands, disturbing 23 acres of wetlands and riparian areas. Two federally listed threatened species (Ute ladies'-tresses orchid and bald eagle), one candidate species for federal protection (mountain plover), one federally listed endangered species (black-footed ferret), and two species that are candidates for listing (black-tailed prairie dog and Dakota skipper) could occur in the project area. Based on inventories of culturally sensitive sites over 95 percent of the project route, it has been concluded that 96 cultural resource sites could be affected; 129 of these sites could be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, amendments (P.L. 94-377), National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.), and Natural Gas Act, as amended (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)).

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 500-megawatt (MW) gas-fired electric power plant in southern Clark County, Nevada are proposed. Two plant site alternatives, four transmission line routes, and four alternative transmission line and water supply access options to the Goodsprings Plant Site were considered in the draft EIS. Two plant sites are considered in detail. The two closely considered sites include a site located on a 30-acre tract approximately 2.5 miles southeast of Goodsprings and a site that would be co-located with the Reliant Bighorn Generating Facility in Primm. Regardless of the plant site location, the facility would consist of a refrigerated, air-cooled, combined-cycle, gas-fired plant with a nominal output of 500 MW. The facility would employ two Westinghouse 501FD-60 Hz natural gas-fired combustion turbine generators that would capture exhaust heat. A heat recovery system would be used to supply steam to drive a single steam turbine generator. Each of the combustion turbines would be equipped with dry low nitrous oxide combustors and selective catalytic reduction ammonia injection systems to control nitrous oxide emissions. In addition, a non-selective catalytic reduction unit would be used to control emissions of carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds. Full load output of the facility under expected operating conditions (both combustion turbine generators and the steam turbine generator running) would range from approximately 450 net MW to 540 net MW, depending on ambient air temperature. Process water requirements for the facility would be minimized through the use of refrigerated, air-cooled technology that would reduce requirements from approximately 300 acre-feet per year to 50 acre-feet per year. Potential impacts to water resources would be further reduced through the use of gray water from the southern Nevada Correctional Center. A water treatment plant would be constructed at the center and a pipeline extended from the water treatment plant to the power plant site. A well owned by the Las Vegas Valley Water District and located near the correctional center would provide backup water supply should the gray water flows from the correctional center be interrupted. Electric power generated by the facility would enter the southern Nevada power grid through the Mead substation, which is operated by the Western Power Administration. The proposed interconnection would require new installation and modification of Western's equipment at Mead. This abbreviated final EIS provides and update of the status of the project, summarizes the agencies' process for responding to comments, contains formal responses to comments, includes errata sheets, and provides supplemental information acquired following issuance of the draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The power plant would provide additional, reliable electrical generating capacity within the southwestern United States to aid in meeting near-term and future power needs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Goodsprings Alternative would disturb 40 acres of land and displace 30 acres of land for the duration of the life of the plant. Natural gas pipeline, roadway, and transmission rights-of-way would displace additional land and the associated habitat. Transmission facilities could cross mountainous train, resulting the loss of habitat and degradation of visual aesthetics in the affected areas. Habitat of the federally protected desert tortoise would be displaced. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 03-0023D, Volume 27, Number 1.

AN  - 36347414; 10096-030218_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a certificate of public convenience and necessity and other environmental permits for the construction and operation of an interstate natural gas pipeline system from northeastern Wyoming to southwestern North Dakota is proposed. The applicant (Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company) proposes to construct 253 miles of new and looped pipeline, provide for approximately 5,380 horsepower (hp) of additional compression at one new and one existing compressor station, and install other associated ancillary facilities in various locations in Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota. The project would involve the construction 223 miles of 16-inch-diameter pipeline from a point near Belle Creek Montana to an interconnection with Northern Border Pipeline Company's system near Manning, North, Dakota; construction of 28 miles of 16-inch-diameter looping along the existing eight-inch-diameter Bitter Creek supply lateral pipeline in Campbell County, Wyoming; upgrading of 40 miles of existing 8-inch-diameter Recluse-Bell Creek supply lateral pipeline in Wyoming and Montana, installation of a 4,180-hp compressor in Dunn County, North Dakota; addition of a 1,200-hp compressor unit at the existing Cabin Creek Compressor Station in Fallon County, Montana; construction of 0.9 mile of 12-inch-diameter lateral pipeline in Fallon County; installation of 1.0 mile of 16-inch-diameter pipeline from the proposed Manning Compressor Station to the interconnect with the Northern Border Pipeline Company Compressor Station 5 in Dunn Count, North Dakota; installation of various metering and pressure-regulating facilities in the three-state area; increasing the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) for 28 miles of the existing eight-inch-diameter Bitter Creek supply lateral in Campbell County; increasing the MAOP for 40 miles of the existing eight-inch-diameter Recluse-Belle Creek supply lateral pipeline in Campbell County and in Powder River and Carter counties, Montana; and construction of certain miscellaneous facilities, including five metering facilities, 14 mainline block valves, eight pig launcher/receiver sites, six cathodic protection units, and three pressure regulators. Cost of the project is estimated at $57.9 million. In addition to the proposed project, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative and an alternative that would postpone the proposed action. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The system would transport 80 million cubic feet of natural gas per day from the Powder River Basin to the applicant's storage facilities in Montana and to Northern Border Pipeline Company's system in North Dakota, helping to meet the regional demand for natural gas for domestic and industrial purposes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would affect 3,140 acres of land, while operation of the pipeline system would displace 1,530 acres, and 11 acres would be required for the operation of aboveground facilities. Vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat would be disturbed and/or displaced. The pipelines would traverse 319 intermittent waterbodies and eight perennial waterbodies; one of the latter (the Little Missouri River) is considered a major waterbody. The system would traverse 174 wetlands, disturbing 23 acres of wetlands and riparian areas. Two federally listed threatened species (Ute ladies'-tresses orchid and bald eagle), one candidate species for federal protection (mountain plover), one federally listed endangered species (black-footed ferret), and two species that are candidates for listing (black-tailed prairie dog and Dakota skipper) could occur in the project area. Based on inventories of culturally sensitive sites over 95 percent of the project route, it has been concluded that 96 cultural resource sites could be affected; 129 of these sites could be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, amendments (P.L. 94-377), National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.), and Natural Gas Act, as amended (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)).

Each of the combustion turbines would be equipped with dry low nitrous oxide combustors and selective catalytic reduction ammonia injection systems to control nitrous oxide emissions. In addition, a non-selective catalytic reduction unit would be used to control emissions of carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds. Full load output of the facility under expected operating conditions (both combustion turbine generators and the steam turbine generator running) would range from approximately 450 net MW to 540 net MW, depending on ambient air temperature. Process water requirements for the facility would be minimized through the use of refrigerated, air-cooled technology that would reduce requirements from approximately 300 acre-feet per year to 50 acre-feet per year. Potential impacts to water resources would be further reduced through the use of gray water from the southern Nevada Correctional Center. A water treatment plant would be constructed at the center and a pipeline extended from the water treatment plant to the power plant site. A well owned by the Las Vegas Valley Water District and located near the correctional center would provide backup water supply should the gray water flows from the correctional center be interrupted. Electric power generated by the facility would enter the southern Nevada power grid through the Mead substation, which is operated by the Western Power Administration. The proposed interconnection would require new installation and modification of Western's equipment at Mead. This abbreviated final EIS provides and update of the status of the project, summarizes the agencies' process for responding to comments, contains formal responses to comments, includes errata sheets, and provides supplemental information acquired following issuance of the draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The power plant would provide additional, reliable electrical generating capacity within the southwestern United States to aid in meeting near-term and future power needs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Goodsprings Alternative would disturb 40 acres of land and displace 30 acres of land for the duration of the life of the plant. Natural gas pipeline, roadway, and transmission rights-of-way would displace additional land and the associated habitat. Transmission facilities could cross mountainous train, resulting the loss of habitat and degradation of visual aesthetics in the affected areas. Habitat of the federally protected desert tortoise would be displaced. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 03-0023D, Volume 27, Number 1.

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 500-megawatt (MW) gas-fired electric power plant in southern Clark County, Nevada are proposed. Two plant site alternatives, four transmission line routes, and four alternative transmission line and water supply access options to the Goodsprings Plant Site were considered in the draft EIS. Two plant sites are considered in detail. The two closely considered sites include a site located on a 30-acre tract approximately 2.5 miles southeast of Goodsprings and a site that would be co-located with the Reliant Bighorn Generating Facility in Primm. Regardless of the plant site location, the facility would consist of a refrigerated, air-cooled, combined-cycle, gas-fired plant with a nominal output of 500 MW. The facility would employ two Westinghouse 501FD-60 Hz natural gas-fired combustion turbine generators that would capture exhaust heat. A heat recovery system would be used to supply steam to drive a single steam turbine generator.

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 500-megawatt (MW) gas-fired electric power plant in southern Clark County, Nevada are proposed. Two plant site alternatives, four transmission line routes, and four alternative transmission line and water supply access options to the Goodsprings Plant Site were considered in the draft EIS. Two plant sites are considered in detail. The two closely considered sites include a site located on a 30-acre tract approximately 2.5 miles southeast of Goodsprings and a site that would be co-located with the Reliant Bighorn Generating Facility in Primm. Regardless of the plant site location, the facility would consist of a refrigerated, air-cooled, combined-cycle, gas-fired plant with a nominal output of 500 MW. The facility would employ two Westinghouse 501FD-60 Hz natural gas-fired combustion turbine generators that would capture exhaust heat. A heat recovery system would be used to supply steam to drive a single steam turbine generator. Each of the combustion turbines would be equipped with dry low nitrous oxide combustors and selective catalytic reduction ammonia injection systems to control nitrous oxide emissions. In addition, a non-selective catalytic reduction unit would be used to control emissions of carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds. Full load output of the facility under expected operating conditions (both combustion turbine generators and the steam turbine generator running) would range from approximately 450 net MW to 540 net MW, depending on ambient air temperature. Process water requirements for the facility would be minimized through the use of refrigerated, air-cooled technology that would reduce requirements from approximately 300 acre-feet per year to 50 acre-feet per year. Potential impacts to water resources would be further reduced through the use of gray water from the southern Nevada Correctional Center. A water treatment plant would be constructed at the center and a pipeline extended from the water treatment plant to the power plant site. A well owned by the Las Vegas Valley Water District and located near the correctional center would provide backup water supply should the gray water flows from the correctional center be interrupted. Electric power generated by the facility would enter the southern Nevada power grid through the Mead substation, which is operated by the Western Power Administration. The proposed interconnection would require new installation and modification of Western's equipment at Mead. This abbreviated final EIS provides and update of the status of the project, summarizes the agencies' process for responding to comments, contains formal responses to comments, includes errata sheets, and provides supplemental information acquired following issuance of the draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The power plant would provide additional, reliable electrical generating capacity within the southwestern United States to aid in meeting near-term and future power needs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Goodsprings Alternative would disturb 40 acres of land and displace 30 acres of land for the duration of the life of the plant. Natural gas pipeline, roadway, and transmission rights-of-way would displace additional land and the associated habitat. Transmission facilities could cross mountainous train, resulting the loss of habitat and degradation of visual aesthetics in the affected areas. Habitat of the federally protected desert tortoise would be displaced. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 03-0023D, Volume 27, Number 1.

T1  - UPPER KLAMATH RIVER MANAGEMENT PLAN, SOUTHERN OREGON AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36438498; 10088
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a resource management plan for the upper Klamath River corridor in Klamath County, Oregon and Siskiyou County, California is proposed. The planning area, which is located 25 miles southwest of Klamath Falls, Oregon, extends 20 miles from the J.C. Boyle Dam (owned by PacifiCorps) in Oregon southwest to the slack water of the Copco Reservoir in northern California. The Oregon portion of the area extends 15 miles and encompasses 6,000 acres of lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM); the California portion of the area extends five miles and covers 200 acres of BLM lands. In 1994, the river was included in the National Wild and Scenic River System from the J.C. Boyle Dam powerhouse to the California border. The proposal also includes classification and rules affection all non-federal lands within the designated Oregon State Scenic Waterway, an 11-mile segment of the river. Key issues identified during scoping include wild and scenic river and values and values related to areas of critical environmental concern, scenic resources, recreational opportunities and facilities, roads and other forms of access, traditional uses by Native Americans, historic and archaeological sites, watershed values, habitat for federally protected species, fisheries resources, fuel reduction to reduce the risk of wildfire, vegetation and biodiversity, air quality, socioeconomic resources, power generating facilities, land tenure, private land, and grazing rights. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 3, the preferred alternative, would direct the BLM to manage the river canyon in a more natural condition that presently exists. Costs to the BLM and PacifiCorp for implementation of the preferred alternative are estimated at $4.1 million and $11 million, respectively, for the first 10 years of the plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would maintain and enhance all outstandingly remarkable values associated with the river corridor, while placing emphasis on management that contributed to human us of the river corridor. Public access to the river would be improved significantly, and interpretive. Environmental education efforts would be increased. Developed recreational fishing opportunities would be enhanced. Historic and prehistoric sites would be provided with significant additional protection and interpretation. Increased recreational development and use would result in disturbance of soils and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. Fuel load reductions would decrease the possibility of wildfire. Increased base flows would enhance fish migration. Water quality and fish-bearing potential would improve. Riparian reserve functionality would be restored. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: High-occupancy vehicle access to the area would be more restricted than at present. Some warming of downstream portions of the upper segment of the corridor would occur due to increased releases from the reservoir, minimum water temperature in segments below the upper segment would increase. More private land would like have to be acquired. Elimination of grazing and irrigation changes would affect associated users.

T1  - UPPER KLAMATH RIVER MANAGEMENT PLAN, SOUTHERN OREGON AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. [Part 3 of 5]
T2  - UPPER KLAMATH RIVER MANAGEMENT PLAN, SOUTHERN OREGON AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36381575; 10088-030210_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a resource management plan for the upper Klamath River corridor in Klamath County, Oregon and Siskiyou County, California is proposed. The planning area, which is located 25 miles southwest of Klamath Falls, Oregon, extends 20 miles from the J.C. Boyle Dam (owned by PacifiCorps) in Oregon southwest to the slack water of the Copco Reservoir in northern California. The Oregon portion of the area extends 15 miles and encompasses 6,000 acres of lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM); the California portion of the area extends five miles and covers 200 acres of BLM lands. In 1994, the river was included in the National Wild and Scenic River System from the J.C. Boyle Dam powerhouse to the California border. The proposal also includes classification and rules affection all non-federal lands within the designated Oregon State Scenic Waterway, an 11-mile segment of the river. Key issues identified during scoping include wild and scenic river and values and values related to areas of critical environmental concern, scenic resources, recreational opportunities and facilities, roads and other forms of access, traditional uses by Native Americans, historic and archaeological sites, watershed values, habitat for federally protected species, fisheries resources, fuel reduction to reduce the risk of wildfire, vegetation and biodiversity, air quality, socioeconomic resources, power generating facilities, land tenure, private land, and grazing rights. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 3, the preferred alternative, would direct the BLM to manage the river canyon in a more natural condition that presently exists. Costs to the BLM and PacifiCorp for implementation of the preferred alternative are estimated at $4.1 million and $11 million, respectively, for the first 10 years of the plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would maintain and enhance all outstandingly remarkable values associated with the river corridor, while placing emphasis on management that contributed to human us of the river corridor. Public access to the river would be improved significantly, and interpretive. Environmental education efforts would be increased. Developed recreational fishing opportunities would be enhanced. Historic and prehistoric sites would be provided with significant additional protection and interpretation. Increased recreational development and use would result in disturbance of soils and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. Fuel load reductions would decrease the possibility of wildfire. Increased base flows would enhance fish migration. Water quality and fish-bearing potential would improve. Riparian reserve functionality would be restored. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: High-occupancy vehicle access to the area would be more restricted than at present. Some warming of downstream portions of the upper segment of the corridor would occur due to increased releases from the reservoir, minimum water temperature in segments below the upper segment would increase. More private land would like have to be acquired. Elimination of grazing and irrigation changes would affect associated users.

T1  - BISCAYNE NATIONAL PARK, HOMESTEAD, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA.
AN  - 36437493; 10084
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for the Stiltsville area of the Biscayne National Park in Homestead, Miami-Dade County, Florida is proposed. The Biscayne National Park encompasses a large portion of Biscayne Bay and the offshore waters south of Miami and includes a rare combination of Florida coral reefs and keys, estuarine bay, mangrove coast, the associated wildlife habitat, and historic sites. The park's established boundaries encompass approximately 174,000 acres. The northern portion of the park includes seven structures constructed on pilings collectively referred to as Stiltsville. The first structure was constructed in the 1930s, and the number of structures rose to a peak of 27 by the 1960s. Natural events, such as hurricanes, reduced the number of structures to 14 by 1976, when the state of Florida entered into leases with private owners for the lands on which the structures existed. Hurricane Andrew irreparable damaged seven of the 14 structures, leaving seven structures, none of which existed during the area's historically significant heyday. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to water quality, biological resources, endangered and threatened species, ecologically critical areas, cultural resources, vistior experience and safety, soundscapes, visual aesthetics, park operations, and socioeconomics. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative D), which would implement the provision of the non-renewable leases and result in the removal of the Stiltsville structures, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative A), a non-profit organization would be created, along with an appropriate agreement with the National Park Service and other groups, for the management and use of the Stiltsville structures. The Stiltsville organization would rehabililtate the historic buildings to support educational and interpretive opportunities. Stiltsville could also provide a visitor and interpretive center, research facilities, an artist-in-residence dwelling, meeting space, and a satellite park office that would provide for National park Service presence in the northern part of the park. Alternative B would result in the National Park Service being responsible for the renovation, management, and oepation of the Stiltsville structures. The designated uses of the structures would be similar to that under Alternative A. Under Alternative C, the structures would be lease for private use based on current authorities. Potential leasees would compete for the right to lease the structures. The size or footprint of each structure would not be expanded. The purposes for which the structures could be leased would be similar to those under Alternative A, though private uses similar to those under the former non-renewable leases would also be allowed. Preference would be given to individuals or groups that would provide for some level of public access. The cost of structures used for tenting and reserved for primitive day and overnight use could be renovated for approximately $200,000. Renovation of facilities used for school groups, conferences, environmental education, field schools, and research activities could cost as much as $500,000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred plan would minimize resource damage to the sensitive estuarine environment from motorized boat access to the structures, other uses of the structures, and the presence and handling of waste and hazardous materials within the structures. The plan would support the capability and suitability of the site to support public use. The management scheme would ensure that the use of the structures would be economically self-supporting. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities and the use of the structures and watercraft used to access the structures would result in some damage to cultural resources and biological resources, including critical habitat for threatened and endangered species, within the park. LEGAL MANDATES: National Park Service Organic Act of 1916. PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 03-0162D, Volume 27, Number 2.

AN  - 36373284; 10086-030207_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The removal or modification of Survey and Manage Mitigation Measure Standards and Guidelines (SMMMSG) governing U.S. Forest Service in regions 5 and 6 and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) districts in Washington, Oregon, and California within the range of the endangered northern spotted owl is proposed. The proposal responds to a settlement agreement resulting from a lawsuit against the Secretaries of the Departments of Agriculture and the Interior. The proposal would require amendment of the Northwest Forest Plan (NFP). Concerns have been raised that the SMMMSG are frustrating Forest Service and BLM efforts to the accomplish resource management objectives of the NFP. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft supplement to the final EIS of 1994 addressing the forest plan. The 304 affected species were analyzed to determine the consequences under the three alternatives. The analyses demonstrated that the SMMMSG and the Special Status Species programs add protection and reduce risk to species. Alternatives 2 or 3 would, respectively, amend or modify agency land and resource management plans to remove the SMMMSG. Alternative 2, the preferred alternative, would amend 28 land and resource management plans to remove SMMMSG provisions. The alternative would provide for surveys prior to habitat-disturbing activities, site management, conservation strategies, inventories, consideration of potential mitigation measures, the addition or removal of species from protective provisions, and provisions for reporting, monitoring, and review of land and resource management plans. Annual costs of Alternative 1, 2, and 3 over the next 10 years are estimated at $25.9 million, $7.5 million, and $11.8 million, respectively. Thereafter, annual costs are expected to drop to $15.3 million, $7.5 million, and $9.2 million, respectively POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would continue to provide for diversity of plant and animal communities in the affected areas; reduce the agencies' cost, time, and effort associated with rare and little known species conservation; and restore the agencies' ability to achieve resource management objectives that were established under the NFP. Compared to Alternative 1, annual timber harvest would be 100 million board-feet (MMBF) or 75 MMBF higher under alternatives 2 or 3, respectively. Alternatives 2 and 3 would increase annual employment and hazardous fuel treatment acreage. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Recognizing that much remains unknown about many of the species, 141 species would remain at high risk of extirpation under all alternatives due to factors beyond the control of the FS and the BLM. A total of 47 and seven species, which are not at high risk under Alternative 1, would be at high risk of extirpation under alternatives 2 and 3, respectively. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), and National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

T1  - BISCAYNE NATIONAL PARK, HOMESTEAD, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA. [Part 1 of 1]
T2  - BISCAYNE NATIONAL PARK, HOMESTEAD, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA.
AN  - 36345530; 10084-030205_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for the Stiltsville area of the Biscayne National Park in Homestead, Miami-Dade County, Florida is proposed. The Biscayne National Park encompasses a large portion of Biscayne Bay and the offshore waters south of Miami and includes a rare combination of Florida coral reefs and keys, estuarine bay, mangrove coast, the associated wildlife habitat, and historic sites. The park's established boundaries encompass approximately 174,000 acres. The northern portion of the park includes seven structures constructed on pilings collectively referred to as Stiltsville. The first structure was constructed in the 1930s, and the number of structures rose to a peak of 27 by the 1960s. Natural events, such as hurricanes, reduced the number of structures to 14 by 1976, when the state of Florida entered into leases with private owners for the lands on which the structures existed. Hurricane Andrew irreparable damaged seven of the 14 structures, leaving seven structures, none of which existed during the area's historically significant heyday. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to water quality, biological resources, endangered and threatened species, ecologically critical areas, cultural resources, vistior experience and safety, soundscapes, visual aesthetics, park operations, and socioeconomics. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative D), which would implement the provision of the non-renewable leases and result in the removal of the Stiltsville structures, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative A), a non-profit organization would be created, along with an appropriate agreement with the National Park Service and other groups, for the management and use of the Stiltsville structures. The Stiltsville organization would rehabililtate the historic buildings to support educational and interpretive opportunities. Stiltsville could also provide a visitor and interpretive center, research facilities, an artist-in-residence dwelling, meeting space, and a satellite park office that would provide for National park Service presence in the northern part of the park. Alternative B would result in the National Park Service being responsible for the renovation, management, and oepation of the Stiltsville structures. The designated uses of the structures would be similar to that under Alternative A. Under Alternative C, the structures would be lease for private use based on current authorities. Potential leasees would compete for the right to lease the structures. The size or footprint of each structure would not be expanded. The purposes for which the structures could be leased would be similar to those under Alternative A, though private uses similar to those under the former non-renewable leases would also be allowed. Preference would be given to individuals or groups that would provide for some level of public access. The cost of structures used for tenting and reserved for primitive day and overnight use could be renovated for approximately $200,000. Renovation of facilities used for school groups, conferences, environmental education, field schools, and research activities could cost as much as $500,000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred plan would minimize resource damage to the sensitive estuarine environment from motorized boat access to the structures, other uses of the structures, and the presence and handling of waste and hazardous materials within the structures. The plan would support the capability and suitability of the site to support public use. The management scheme would ensure that the use of the structures would be economically self-supporting. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities and the use of the structures and watercraft used to access the structures would result in some damage to cultural resources and biological resources, including critical habitat for threatened and endangered species, within the park. LEGAL MANDATES: National Park Service Organic Act of 1916. PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 03-0162D, Volume 27, Number 2.

T1  - A Survey of Selective Withdrawal Systems
AN  - 19429866; 6196840
AB  - Selective withdrawal systems are commonly used to manage the quality of reservoir releases, as well as in-reservoir water quality. The type of selective withdrawal system chosen for a project is usually site-specific and requires detailed limnological studies and engineering analyses. A survey was prepared to gather basic design data and performance information on modern selective withdrawal systems constructed on large dams in the United States. Another survey objective was to update information for selected entries in a register of selective withdrawal works in the United States, compiled by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1970.

T1  - JARBIDGE CANYON, HUMBOLDT-TOIYABE NATIONAL FOREST, ELKO COUNTY, NEVADA.
AN  - 36438341; 10077
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a road management plan, construction of water projects along the Charleston-Jarbidge Road, and reconstruct the South Canyon Road in the Jarbidge Canyon project area of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, Elko County, Nevada is proposed. Jarbidge Canyon is located in the northeastern corner of the county within the Bruneau River Subbasin of the Snake River Basin National Forest SYstem lands surround the town of Jarbidge and the Charleston-Jarbidge Road is the primary means of accessing the town. The 4,295-acre project area encompasses an 0.25-mile corridor on ether side of the West Fork of the Jarbidge River beginning at the Nevada/Idaho border and extending south to the Snowslide Gulch Trailhead, which is located at the northwestern portal to the Jarbidge Wilderness. The corridor extends along 11 miles of the Charleston-Jarbidge Road and 2.4 miles of the Jarbidge Canyon Road (known as the South Canyon Road). The Charleston-Jarbidge Road is a single-lane 15- to 25-foot-wide facility with a 20 mile-per-hour speed limit. From the north, the Charleston-Jarbidge Road is open year-round, but the facility is closed during winter months due to heavy snowpack. The South Canyon Road begins at the base of the Elko Grade on the Charleston-Jarbidge Road and terminates at the Snowslide Gultch Trailhead. A 1995 flood damaged a significant portion of both roads and made portions of the South Canyon Road impassable. Since the flood, infrequent motorized use of the old road aligment and stream channel to reach the trailhead has damaged the aquatic habitat and riparian area along the West Fork of the Jarbidge River. The existing alignment and current maintenance practices on the roads north of Pine Creek Campground are also contributing to environmental decline within the corridor. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the action alternatives, the road management plan would provide direction for the maintenance and impovement of 11.5 miles of Charleston-Jarbidge Road Water improvement projects would be designed to impove watershed, water quality, and environmental conditions. The action alternatives for the South Canyon Road include one trail alternative, two alternatives in the Jarbidge River Valley, and two alternatives that are upslope of the valley. Depending on the alternative selected, estimated costs for the South Canyon Road project range from $1.5 million to $10.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide access within the West Fork of the Jarbidge River Canyon to the Jarbidge Wilderness, while improving the aquatic habitat and other environmental features, particularly those of significance to the federally protected bull trout. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some alternatives would result in visual changes in the area, and one alternative would make the roadway visible from within the wilderness. Road construction and maintenance would continue to degrade riparian habitat somewhat, but to a significantly lesser extent than at present. Certain alternatives would result in the permanent loss of vegetation, though no more than 7.22 acres would be displaced. Significant borrow areas would have too be created to provide material for road construction and maintenance. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a road management plan, construction of water projects along the Charleston-Jarbidge Road, and reconstruct the South Canyon Road in the Jarbidge Canyon project area of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, Elko County, Nevada is proposed. Jarbidge Canyon is located in the northeastern corner of the county within the Bruneau River Subbasin of the Snake River Basin National Forest SYstem lands surround the town of Jarbidge and the Charleston-Jarbidge Road is the primary means of accessing the town. The 4,295-acre project area encompasses an 0.25-mile corridor on ether side of the West Fork of the Jarbidge River beginning at the Nevada/Idaho border and extending south to the Snowslide Gulch Trailhead, which is located at the northwestern portal to the Jarbidge Wilderness. The corridor extends along 11 miles of the Charleston-Jarbidge Road and 2.4 miles of the Jarbidge Canyon Road (known as the South Canyon Road). The Charleston-Jarbidge Road is a single-lane 15- to 25-foot-wide facility with a 20 mile-per-hour speed limit. From the north, the Charleston-Jarbidge Road is open year-round, but the facility is closed during winter months due to heavy snowpack. The South Canyon Road begins at the base of the Elko Grade on the Charleston-Jarbidge Road and terminates at the Snowslide Gultch Trailhead. A 1995 flood damaged a significant portion of both roads and made portions of the South Canyon Road impassable. Since the flood, infrequent motorized use of the old road aligment and stream channel to reach the trailhead has damaged the aquatic habitat and riparian area along the West Fork of the Jarbidge River. The existing alignment and current maintenance practices on the roads north of Pine Creek Campground are also contributing to environmental decline within the corridor. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the action alternatives, the road management plan would provide direction for the maintenance and impovement of 11.5 miles of Charleston-Jarbidge Road Water improvement projects would be designed to impove watershed, water quality, and environmental conditions. The action alternatives for the South Canyon Road include one trail alternative, two alternatives in the Jarbidge River Valley, and two alternatives that are upslope of the valley. Depending on the alternative selected, estimated costs for the South Canyon Road project range from $1.5 million to $10.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide access within the West Fork of the Jarbidge River Canyon to the Jarbidge Wilderness, while improving the aquatic habitat and other environmental features, particularly those of significance to the federally protected bull trout. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some alternatives would result in visual changes in the area, and one alternative would make the roadway visible from within the wilderness. Road construction and maintenance would continue to degrade riparian habitat somewhat, but to a significantly lesser extent than at present. Certain alternatives would result in the permanent loss of vegetation, though no more than 7.22 acres would be displaced. Significant borrow areas would have too be created to provide material for road construction and maintenance. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

T1  - DESOLATION FLATS NATURAL GAS FIELD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, SWEETWATER AND CARBON COUNTIES, WYOMING.
AN  - 36437925; 10068
AB  - PURPOSE: The extraction of natural gas under the Desolation Flats Natural Gas Field of Sweetwater and Carbon counties, Wyoming is proposed. The area, which lies in south-central Wyoming, encompasses 2333, 524 acres, with surface ownership 96 percent in federal ownership, 3 percent in private ownership, and less than one percent in state ownership, Currently, the field contains 63 producing and shut-in natural gas wells and a small infrastructure of roads and pipelines for natural gas production already in place. Past drilling activities in the area have been successful. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative B), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, up to 385 new wells at 361 locations would be drilled over the next 20 years and additional infrastructure needed to link the wells with existing transportation systems would be developed. It is anticipated that 250 producing wells would result. Drilling would typically occur at two to four per section. Development would likely occur sporadically and would not be uniformly spaced through the field area. In addition to the road and pipeline systems, the plan would call for provision of power lines, water wells, disposal wells, evaporation ponds, compressor stations, and gas processing facilities. Alternative A would involve the development of 592 wells at 555 locations and the associated necessary infrastructure. The precise number of additional wells, the locations of the wells, and the timing of drilling associated with the natural gas development would be directed by the success of development drillng and production technology, as well as economic considerations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing for regional needs for natural gas, thereby reducing the nation's dependence on foreign sources of energy, the plan would result in the employment of local and regional workers and generally boost the local and regional economies. The project would include an estimated $840 million in direct expenditures to the operators, which would generate a total of $1.145 billion in total positive economic impact. County revenues would be significant. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Existing disturbance within the field is approximately 1,506 acres. Plan implementation would result in disturbance of an additional 4,923 acres over the 20-year life of the field development. Reclamation activities would reduce surface area disturbance to, 2,139 acres, resulting a total disturbance figure of 3,645 acres. Surface disturbance would affect soils, water quality, vegetation and wetlands, rangeland resources, wildlife habitat (including habitat for Ute ladies' tresses, mountain plover, black-footed ferret, bald eagle, and Canada lynx). Visual resources and other recreational resources would e degraded by well rigs, roads, pipelines and other facilities associated with the project. Cultural resources effects have yet to be fully evaluated, but the area is characterized by a moderate- to high-density of archaeological sites. Operation of the field would result in release of pollutants into the atmosphere, and some human safety risks would be present, particularly occupational risks. Noise levels would occasionally reach levels in excess of federal standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - DESOLATION FLATS NATURAL GAS FIELD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, SWEETWATER AND CARBON COUNTIES, WYOMING. [Part 1 of 3]
T2  - DESOLATION FLATS NATURAL GAS FIELD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, SWEETWATER AND CARBON COUNTIES, WYOMING.
AN  - 36373954; 10068-030189_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The extraction of natural gas under the Desolation Flats Natural Gas Field of Sweetwater and Carbon counties, Wyoming is proposed. The area, which lies in south-central Wyoming, encompasses 2333, 524 acres, with surface ownership 96 percent in federal ownership, 3 percent in private ownership, and less than one percent in state ownership, Currently, the field contains 63 producing and shut-in natural gas wells and a small infrastructure of roads and pipelines for natural gas production already in place. Past drilling activities in the area have been successful. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative B), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, up to 385 new wells at 361 locations would be drilled over the next 20 years and additional infrastructure needed to link the wells with existing transportation systems would be developed. It is anticipated that 250 producing wells would result. Drilling would typically occur at two to four per section. Development would likely occur sporadically and would not be uniformly spaced through the field area. In addition to the road and pipeline systems, the plan would call for provision of power lines, water wells, disposal wells, evaporation ponds, compressor stations, and gas processing facilities. Alternative A would involve the development of 592 wells at 555 locations and the associated necessary infrastructure. The precise number of additional wells, the locations of the wells, and the timing of drilling associated with the natural gas development would be directed by the success of development drillng and production technology, as well as economic considerations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing for regional needs for natural gas, thereby reducing the nation's dependence on foreign sources of energy, the plan would result in the employment of local and regional workers and generally boost the local and regional economies. The project would include an estimated $840 million in direct expenditures to the operators, which would generate a total of $1.145 billion in total positive economic impact. County revenues would be significant. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Existing disturbance within the field is approximately 1,506 acres. Plan implementation would result in disturbance of an additional 4,923 acres over the 20-year life of the field development. Reclamation activities would reduce surface area disturbance to, 2,139 acres, resulting a total disturbance figure of 3,645 acres. Surface disturbance would affect soils, water quality, vegetation and wetlands, rangeland resources, wildlife habitat (including habitat for Ute ladies' tresses, mountain plover, black-footed ferret, bald eagle, and Canada lynx). Visual resources and other recreational resources would e degraded by well rigs, roads, pipelines and other facilities associated with the project. Cultural resources effects have yet to be fully evaluated, but the area is characterized by a moderate- to high-density of archaeological sites. Operation of the field would result in release of pollutants into the atmosphere, and some human safety risks would be present, particularly occupational risks. Noise levels would occasionally reach levels in excess of federal standards.

T1  - WHISKEYTOWN FIRE MANAGEMENT PLAN, WHISKEYTOWN NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36436292; 10059
AB  - PURPOSE: The revision of the fire management plan for the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area in California is proposed. The 42,500-acre recreation area straddles California Highway 299 eight miles west of Redding and includes the 3,000-acre Whiskeytown Lake. Wood and fire has occurred naturally throughout the park as an important ecosystem process that kept forest fuels and vegetation community structures within their natural range of variability. Mining, logging, and past fire suppression activities have lead to increases in fuel loads and changes in vegetation community structure and to an increasing potential for large high-intensity fires that would affect developed zones, the park's natural and cultural resources, and neighboring landowners and communities. Revisions to the current fire management plan are needed to meet public and firefighter safety, natural and cultural resource management, and wildland-urban interface objectives within the park. The current fire management program has been effective in fire suppression, but it is not able to restore large portions of the park to landscapes approximating the mid-1800s as required by the park's general management plan. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative I), which would perpetuate the current fire management scheme, are considered in this draft EIS. The action alternatives vary in the emphasis each places on the eight fire management goals developed by the park. Each action alternative contains an amendment to the park's general management plan to clarify that park headquarters may be rebuilt in its current location as part of the fire cache relocation to the Oak Bottom Campground. The preferred alternative (Alternative IV) would involve prescribed burning, via both pile and broadcast burns, on up to 2,200 acres, with individual burns ranging from 0.5 to 1,000 acres; possible use of wildland fire on up to 150 acres per year to reduce the unnatrual accumulation of forest fuels and to restore fire to the ecosystem on up to 2,300 acres; and use of mechanical treatments to reduce fuel levels and mimic effects of fire on structural patterns of wood vegetation in and around developed areas and shaded fuel breaks. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would assist in restoring the Whiskeytown area's plant communities to reduce the risk of high severity wildland fire by decreasing forest stand density, reducing surface fuels, and attempting to restore fire as a natural disturbance process to the greatest extent feasible. Fish and wildlife habitat would benefit in the long-term, as would historic and archaeological resources. The visual appearance and other recreational aspects of the park would improve as the plan progressed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Prescribed fire and mechanical techniques of vegetation removal would result in the loss of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat and disturbance of soils and the associated sedimentation of receiving surface waters. Ecologically critical areas could be affected. Major adverse impacts could occur to historic and archaeological sites in the park in the short-term.

T1  - U.S. HIGHWAY 189, WILDWOOD TO HEBER VALLEY, UTAH AND WASATCH COUNTIES, UTAH (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL EIS OF 1978).
AN  - 36426393; 10061
AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement of 15 miles of the Provo Canyon Highway (US 189) in Utah and Wasatach counties, Utah is proposed. The project would extend from the Utah/Wasatch County line near the intersection with US 189 on the west and State Road 92 at Wildwood to the intersection of US 189 with US 40 at Heber City on the east. This second supplement to the final EIS of 1978 describes the development of the preferred alignment originally presented in a 1995 re-evaluation of the project. Construction with respect to this project has occurred between 1984 and 2002, with several sections of highway completed as described in the first supplemental EIS issued in 1989. This second supplemental EIS responds to a federal district court order to prepare a new supplement prior to implementing the next phase of construction. This supplement describes a newly preferred alignment between Wildwood and Deer Creek State Park, a distance of 5.3 miles; the new alternative would involve widening the facility to four lanes along this segment, which would be realigned. This alternative differs from that presented in the previous supplement primarily in that it would result in an alignment shift away from the existing highway and the Provo River in the Horseshoe Bend area and in crossing the face of Deer Creek Dam on a buttressed fill. This supplement also addresses the related extension of Provo-Jordan River Parkway Trail system, from Vivian Park to Deer Creek Dam; the system currently runs from the Great Salt Lake through Provo and Orem, and up Provo Canyon as far as Vivian Park. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce existing and projected traffic congestion and improve safety for all highway users The newly proposed alignment would substantially reduce environmental impacts compared to the alignment preferred at the time of the previous supplemental EIS. Access to recreational resources in the canyon would be enhanced significantly. In addition, the buttress fill would meet the needs of the Bureau of Reclamation with respect to dam safety. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 22.46 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, 1.9 acres of wetlands, and some fishery habitat in Deer Creek. The potential for water quality impacts to the Provo River from sedimentation would increase. Visible cuts and fills would occur in the project area view scape. One historic dam complex, one prehistoric site, and one historic railroad overpass would be affected.

T2  - CLARIFICATION OF LANGUAGE IN THE 1994 RECORD OF DECISION FOR THE NORTHWEST FOREST PLAN; NATIONAL FORESTS AND BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS WITHIN THE RANGE OF THE NORTHERN SPOTTED OWL, WESTERN OREGON AND WASHINGTON AND NORTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT).
AN  - 36379799; 10036-030157_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: A limited revision of the language within the Aquatic Conservation Strategy (ACS)portion of the Northwest Forest Plan within the range of the northern spotted owl is proposed. The forests covered by the plan include those in western Oregon and Washington and northwestern California. Projects needed to achieve the forest plan goals have been delayed or stopped due to misapplication of certain passages in the ACS. The projects have been delayed due to the fact that they may result in short-term, site-specific effects to aquatic or riparian habitats. In addition to the proposed action, a No Action Alternatives is considered in this draft supplemental EIS. Under the proposed action, the proper scales for federal land managers to evaluate progress toward achievement of ACS objectives would be at the watershed and broader scales. No single project would be expected to achieve all ACS objectives. Decision-makers would be expected to design projects to follow the ACS. Project records would be required to contain evidence that projects comply with relevant standards and guidelines and would also be required to demonstrate the means by which the decision-maker used relevant information from applicable watershed analysis to provide context for the design and assessment of the project. References to ACS objectives in the standards and guidelines would not require that decision-makers find that site-scale projects, in themselves, would fully attain ACS objectives. The revisions would retain all existing components of the ACS, including those related to riparian reserves, key watersheds, watershed analysis, and watershed restoration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Ultimately, the proposed action would improve agency abilities to implement projects that meet the Northwest Forest Plan goals. The most important projects that would no longer be delayed due to misapplication of certain passages of the ACS would include those related to watershed restoration, timber management and harvest, and fuels reduction. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project measures, including timber harvest and prescribed burning to reduce fuel loadings and road construction related to these projects would result in short- and, in the case of permanent roads, long-term disturbance of soils and destruction of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. Project impacts would lie within the range of the northern spotted owl, a federally protected endangered species. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and Public Law 101-618, Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), and National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

T2  - SOUTHERN CORRIDOR, FROM I-15 AT REFERENCE POST 2 IN ST. GEORGE TO SR 9 NEAR HURRICANE, WASHINGTON COUNTY, UTAH.
AN  - 36347470; 10033-030154_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, limited-access highway from St. George to Hurricane in Washington County, Utah is proposed. The facility would extend 20 to 26 miles from Interstate 15 II-15), approximately three miles north of the Arizona border near the southwest end of St. George, to State Route (SR 9) near Hurricane. The corridor is characterized by high traffic levels and inadequate capacity to meet traffic demands. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. All build alternatives would begin at the I-15 interchange at Reference Post 3. The 4300 West Alternative would extend 22 miles to the intersection of 4300 West with SR near Hurricane. This alternative would be most westerly on SR 9 and would include approximately 11 interchanges. The 3400 West Alternative would extend 22 miles to the intersection of 3400 West with SR 9 near Hurricane, and would include approximately 10 interchanges on the corridor. The 2800 West Alternative would extend 26 miles to the intersection of 2800 West with SR 9 in Hurricane and would include approximately 12 interchanges; this alternative is the most easterly on SR 9. A multiple-use trail for pedestrians, bicyclists, and equestrians would parallel the highway under any build alternative. Estimated construction costs for the 4300 West, 3400 West, and 2800 West alternatives are $161.5 million, $151.6 million, and $209.2 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would provide a regional transportation route accessible to residents and workers in St. George, Washington City, and Hurricane that would complement local land use plans. Local add through traffic would be separated as appropriate, and travel times would decline significantly, particularly during peak hours. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for the build alternatives would result in the loss of up to 50 acres of prime farmland, 257 to 385 acres of grazing allotments, and 675 to 928 acres of desert shrub/scrub habitat. The 2800 West Alternative could affect a bald eagle next during the construction phase, and three endangered plant species would probably be affected by highway development. From 20 to 23 archaeological sites potentially eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places could be affected. The facility would affect access to two or three trails and the use of one recreation site. Air quality would decline somewhat along the corridor, but federal standards would not be exceeded. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at seven sensitive receptor sites. From eight to 14 groundwater wells would be affected. Three to five hazardous waste sites would be encountered during construction. The visual aesthetics of the corridor would be degraded by highway structures.

T1  - Student Financial Aid: 2001-02 Update. Informational Memorandum.
AN  - 62162599; ED478027
AB  - This memorandum provides information about students granted financial aid in the University of Wisconsin (UW) system in 2001-2002 and earlier years. The total financial aid provided to UW students was $550.0 million, up $52.2 million from 2000-2001. Total loan dollars for UW students totaled $371.2 million, up $30.9 million from 2000-2001. UW students received $166.7 million in 2002-2002, an increase of $20.4 million from 2000-2001. Of the financial aid, 81% came from federal sources, and 7% from state sources. Institutional sources provided 6% of financial aid. In all, 88,594 students received financial aid, an increase of 4,377 students. The percentage of undergraduate students receiving financial aid, 58%, was up 2 percentage points from 2000-2001. Thirty-nine percent of graduate students received financial aid in the 2001-2002 academic year, an increase of 3 percentage points from the previous year. As in the previous year, 66% of students receiving financial aid were dependent students; 26% were independent. The average loan debt of a Wisconsin resident who received a Bachelor's degree in 2001-2002 was $16,046. Six appendixes contain supplemental data. (Contains 17 tables.) (SLD)

T1  - JAMESTOWN PROJECT, JAMESTOWN NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE, COLONIAL NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, JAMESTOWN UNIT, JAMESTOWN, VIRGINIA.
AN  - 36436028; 10031
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a revised general management plan for the Jamestown National Historic Site, Colonial National Historical Park, Jamestown Unit, Jamestown, Virginia is proposed. Jamestown, the birthplace of modern American society, is a world-class cultural and historic treasure that needs to be promoted, explored, and fully presented to communicate its significance in history. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would continue the current management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative B) would maximize the interpretive use of the resources. This alternative represents the only alternative that would effectively address the currently inadequate visitor experience and fully realize the Jamestown Island Interpretive Plan forwarded in 2001. The key proposed visitor facility structures would include a 19,000-square-foot visitor center/educational facility, a 2,000-square-foot intermodal transportation terminal, a 5,000-square-foot observation building, and 8,000 square feet of collections storage, research, and curatorial space. New exhibit venues would be provided for the east and west ends of the historic town site. The eastern anchor would include an agricultural exhibit, focusing on agricultural aspects of Jamestown's history and potentially including some experimental archaeology. The western anchor, the Ludwell exhibit facility, would also include experimental archaeology, along with exhibits related to the Ludwell Statehouse Group and the trials and tribulations faced by the colonists. Capital and other improvement costs for the preferred plan are estimated at $30.65 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred plan would protect cultural and natural resources at the site, while furthering the goals of promoting and interpreting the area. The plan would improve the quality of visitor experience, protect the Jamestown Collection and associated archival materials, enhance research and educational opportunities, and strengthen stockholder partnerships. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would result in short- and long-term disturbance to vegetation and soils, and the associated wildlife habitat, due to the construction of new facilities. Both wetland and upland habitat would be lost. Predicted increases in visitation, as well as proposed construction activities and the multimodal transportation terminal, would adversely impact bald eagle nesting on Jamestown Island. Alterations for safety purposes could affect the character of Colonial Parkway. LEGAL MANDATES: National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).

AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a revised general management plan for the Jamestown National Historic Site, Colonial National Historical Park, Jamestown Unit, Jamestown, Virginia is proposed. Jamestown, the birthplace of modern American society, is a world-class cultural and historic treasure that needs to be promoted, explored, and fully presented to communicate its significance in history. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would continue the current management regime, are considered in this draft EIS.

T2  - TOQUOP LAND DISPOSAL AMENDMENT TO THE CALIENTE MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK PLAN, LINCOLN, CLARK, and WASHOE COUNTIES, NEVADA.
AN  - 36343232; 10027-030148_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a 1,100-megawatt (MW) natural-gas-fired, water-cooled electric power generating plant and associated features on public lands in Lincoln and Clark counties, Nevada is proposed. The power plant site would be located near Toquop Wash, approximately 50 miles south-southeast of Caliente and 12 miles northwest of Mesquite or, alternatively, 12 miles north-northwest of the Toquop Wash site in the Tule Desert. This EIS also evaluates the impacts of amending the Caliente Management Framework Plan (MFP), which would identify specific sections of land as available for disposal; this action would be needed to exchange approximately 640 acres of private land, known as the Pah Rah parcel, in Washoe County, Nevada for a similarly valued parcel of public land at one of the alternative power plant sites. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, the MFP would be amended to identify the site as suitable for disposal through sale or exchange and a land exchange would be completed between the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Nevada Land and Resource Company, LLC. The BLM would issue rights-of-way permits for construction and operation of the power plant and all associated facilities. Fuel for the plant would be provided via a 2,400-foot, 20-inch-diameter pipeline from the Kern River Gas Pipeline to the power plant site. Provisions would also be made for road access to the site and to an associated wellfield, and a 12.5-mile, 24-inch-diameter pipeline would provide water to the power plant. The power plant would transmit power to the regional energy grid through a 1,300-foot, 500-kilovolt transmission line and a distribution line to a wellfield along the 12.5-mile western water pipeline rights-of-way. Measures for protecting desert tortoises and their habitat, and a cultural resources protection program would be established. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new power plant would generate electricity at competitive costs for use by consumers, thereby easing the near- and long-term shortages of power in the western United States. The project would particularly meet demand for power in the Las Vegas area and would also contribute to meeting the capacity and annual energy requirements for the Arizona-New Mexico-southern Nevada power area. The project would also increase the county tax base and contribute to local employment rolls. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Initial project construction activities would disturb 449 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, 226 acres of which would be reclaimed. Habitat for desert tortoise, a federally protected species, would be damaged. Plant operations could result in degradation of surface water quality and groundwater levels would decline significantly. Approximately 46 ephemeral washes would be traversed by project facilities. Project features would mar visual aesthetics in the area, and the project would disrupt recreational activities in the immediate area. Removal of water via the wellfield could affect grazing allotment operations. Ten sites of isolated archaeological artifacts would be affected. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 02-0260D, Volume 26, Number 3.

T1  - MARIGOLD MINE EXPANSION PROJECT, HUMBOLDT COUNTY, NEVADA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MARCH 2001). [Part 1 of 1]
T2  - MARIGOLD MINE EXPANSION PROJECT, HUMBOLDT COUNTY, NEVADA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MARCH 2001).
AN  - 36341846; 10028-030149_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 1,349 acres of land have been 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 alternatives, 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 draft supplement to the final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would include all components of the proposed action, but buttressing and backfilling components would be altered. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Mine expansion would allow continued operation of the mine, which would otherwise cease operations after the year 2001, with final reclamation extending 10 years beyond closure. 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 462 acres of private land and 255 acres of public land. The preferred alternative would reduce the total area of upland disturbed from 717 acres to 632 acres. The affected land provides winter habitat for mule deer and breeding birds. 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.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs, see 00-0169D, Volume 24, Number 2 and 01-0134F Volume 25, Number 2, respectively.

T1  - FARMINGTON RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, SAN JUAN, MCKINLEY, RIO ARRIBA, AND SANDOVAL COUNTIES, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36439534; 10022
AB  - PURPOSE: The revision of the general land and resource management plan for the 8.3-million-acre Farmington Planning Area in San Juan, McKinley, Rio Arriba, and Sandoval counties, New Mexico is proposed. Located in northwestern New Mexico, the area, which is administered by the Bureau of Land Management, contains 1.4 million acres of public land and 3.0 million acres of federal minerals estate. Key issues identified during scoping include those associated with oil and gas leasing and development, land ownership adjustments, off-highway vehicle use, the management of specially designated areas, and coal leasing suitability assessments. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would perpetuate the current land management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative D) would provide for oil and gas lease developments, coal estate developments, extraction of other minerals, recreational use designations, areas protected for research and preservation, land acquisition and deposition to rationalize management practices, wilderness area management, fish and wildlife habitat management, protection of special status species of plants and animals, rangeland management, transportation systems, visual resources management, and cultural and paleontological resources management. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide balanced management direction for the area. All five key issues would be addresses, providing for a combination of resource uses that would protect important environmental values and sensitive resources, while allowing for development of mineral resources that provide employment and tax revenues to the region. Riparian areas and wetlands would particularly benefit from land use restrictions, and acquisition of inholdings would benefit wilderness areas. The plan would encourage the use of new technology to lessen conflicts between the emphasis areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mineral extraction and other activities resulting from establishment of the plan would result in disturbance to watershed soils and vegetation, consumption of water, reduction of air quality, emissions of noise, fragmentation of wildlife habitat, continued conflicts between mineral developers and grazing allotment holders, degradation of visual quality, damage to cultural and paleontological resources, and reduction of dispersed and other recreational opportunities.

T1  - DESIGNATION OF CRITICAL HABITAT FOR RIO GRANDE SILVERY MINNOW, BERNALILLO, SANDOVAL, SOCORRO, AND VALENCIA COUNTIES, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36441724; 10019
AB  - PURPOSE: The designation of critical habitat for the Rio Grande silvery minnow in Bernalillo, Sandoval, Socorro, and Valencia counties, New Mexico is proposed. The minnow is listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1972 (ESA). The species was historically one of the most abundant and widespread fishes in the Rio Grande Basin, occurring from Espanola, New Mexico to the Gulf of Mexico. It was also found in the Pecos River from Santa Rosa, New Mexico downstream to the confluence of the Pecos with the Rio Grande in Texas. The minnow now occurs only in the Rio Grande in New Mexico, it's habitat extending from Cochiti Dam downstream to the Elephant Butte Reservoir; this represents only five percent of its former range. Most of the minnows are found in the reach of the Rio Grande extending from the Acacia Diversion Dam to Elephant Butte in Socorro County. Once a species is listed under the ESA, federal agencies must consult with the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and ensure that actions they authorize, fund, or carry out do not jeopardize the species continued existence. Once critical habitat is designated, federal agencies must also consult with the FWS to ensure that actions to authorize, fund, or carry out do not adversely modify designated habitat. Under the proposed action (Alternative B), the FWS proposed to designate as critical minnow habitat the currently occupied reaches of the Rio Grande in New Mexico, referred to as the Middle Rio Grande. In addition to the proposed action and a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), three other action alternatives are considered in this final EIS: C) designation of the Middle Rio Grande excepting the Cochiti reach, which is the northern reach and a section of the river that has undergone major changes since the Cochiti Dam became operational in 1975; D) designation of the Middle Rio Grand excepting the San Acaacia reach, which is the southern reach and one that experiences significant drying during parts of the year; and E) designation of the Middle Rio Grande as well as two extended reaches within the minnow's historical range, namely the Pecos River from Summer Dam to Brantley Reservoir in New Mexico and the Rio Grande in Big Bend National Preserve and the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River in Texas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Critical habitat designation for the minnow would increase the scope of consultations with federal agencies; the scope will be expanded to include impacts of actions on critical habitat as well as some changes to avoid adverse modifications. Efforts to minimize drying events, combined with river restoration activities for the minnow, would enhance riverine and riparian ecosystems. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: It is likely that efforts would be made to increase the flow in the Rio Grande in areas that now experience dry events and that this acquisition of water could impact agricultural communities dependent on Rio Grande water for irrigation purposes. While a voluntary water market is important to maintaining slivery minnow habitat, the secondary impacts on communities could be substantial. Efforts to minimize drying events, combined with river restoration activities for the minnow, could reduce forage for migratory bird species. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 02-0400D, Volume 26, Number 4.

T1  - SHELL'S NEW MEXICO PRODUCTS PIPELINE (BLM SERIAL NUMBER NMNM 106570), NEW MEXICO AND TEXAS.
AN  - 36441467; 10017
AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a rights-of-way grant to Shell Pipeline Company LP construction and operation of a 16-inch-diameter refined petroleum pipeline system between distribution terminals in Odessa, Texas and Bloomfield, New Mexico are proposed. Demand for petroleum products in New Mexico has increased two percent per year over the past decade. It is assumed for the sake of this analysis that demand is likely to continue to grow at a similar rate in the foreseeable future. Simultaneously, local crude oil supplies previously available to New Mexico refineries are declining at an estimated seven to eight percent per year. The combination of increased fuel demand and declining crude oil availability to local refineries in New Mexico has given rise to the proposed project. The system would utilize an existing 406-mile, 16-inch diameter pipeline extending from Jal, New Mexico to a point located approximately 18 miles south of Bisti, New Mexico. Shell proposes to reverse the flow direction of the existing pipeline and, with the addition of two new 16-inch-diameter pipeline extensions, transport refined products from Odessa to Bloomfield. The pipeline system, to be known as the New Mexico Products Pipeline, would have a design capacity of 85,000 barrels per day of a combination of gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, and other petroleum products batches. The project would include the retrofitting of an existing 16-inch-diameter pipeline, construction of new pipeline extensions on each end of the existing pipelines, installation of pumping stations, and construction of an intermediate distribution terminal in Moriarty, New Mexico. The new system would also include facility upgrades and electrical powerlines in multiple locations along its route. Construction would commence in 2003. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, two pipeline alternatives, and alternatives regarding the electrical transmission lines. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The system would provide a cost-effective, efficient pipeline system that would transport refined petroleum products from Texas refineries to Albuquerque, Sante Fe, and the Four Corners area of New Mexico. The project would employ up to 200 workers and would otherwise contribute to the regional economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the pipeline would result in a limited number of spills and the associated threats to human safety, and groundwater and surface water quality and the associated fishery habitat. Other resources issues that would be raised include air quality degradation, mineral recovery limitations, paleontological and cultural site disturbance, destabilization of sensitive soils, destruction of vegetation and the associated terrestrial wildlife habitat, damage to habitat for federally protected animal species, degradation of visual aesthetics, impacts to motorists using roads crossed by the pipeline, effects on Native American tribal lands, and spillage of hazardous materials and waste during construction. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, amendments (P.L. 94-377).

T1  - DESIGNATION OF CRITICAL HABITAT FOR RIO GRANDE SILVERY MINNOW, BERNALILLO, SANDOVAL, SOCORRO, AND VALENCIA COUNTIES, NEW MEXICO. [Part 1 of 1]
T2  - DESIGNATION OF CRITICAL HABITAT FOR RIO GRANDE SILVERY MINNOW, BERNALILLO, SANDOVAL, SOCORRO, AND VALENCIA COUNTIES, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36342824; 10019-030140_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The designation of critical habitat for the Rio Grande silvery minnow in Bernalillo, Sandoval, Socorro, and Valencia counties, New Mexico is proposed. The minnow is listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1972 (ESA). The species was historically one of the most abundant and widespread fishes in the Rio Grande Basin, occurring from Espanola, New Mexico to the Gulf of Mexico. It was also found in the Pecos River from Santa Rosa, New Mexico downstream to the confluence of the Pecos with the Rio Grande in Texas. The minnow now occurs only in the Rio Grande in New Mexico, it's habitat extending from Cochiti Dam downstream to the Elephant Butte Reservoir; this represents only five percent of its former range. Most of the minnows are found in the reach of the Rio Grande extending from the Acacia Diversion Dam to Elephant Butte in Socorro County. Once a species is listed under the ESA, federal agencies must consult with the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and ensure that actions they authorize, fund, or carry out do not jeopardize the species continued existence. Once critical habitat is designated, federal agencies must also consult with the FWS to ensure that actions to authorize, fund, or carry out do not adversely modify designated habitat. Under the proposed action (Alternative B), the FWS proposed to designate as critical minnow habitat the currently occupied reaches of the Rio Grande in New Mexico, referred to as the Middle Rio Grande. In addition to the proposed action and a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), three other action alternatives are considered in this final EIS: C) designation of the Middle Rio Grande excepting the Cochiti reach, which is the northern reach and a section of the river that has undergone major changes since the Cochiti Dam became operational in 1975; D) designation of the Middle Rio Grand excepting the San Acaacia reach, which is the southern reach and one that experiences significant drying during parts of the year; and E) designation of the Middle Rio Grande as well as two extended reaches within the minnow's historical range, namely the Pecos River from Summer Dam to Brantley Reservoir in New Mexico and the Rio Grande in Big Bend National Preserve and the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River in Texas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Critical habitat designation for the minnow would increase the scope of consultations with federal agencies; the scope will be expanded to include impacts of actions on critical habitat as well as some changes to avoid adverse modifications. Efforts to minimize drying events, combined with river restoration activities for the minnow, would enhance riverine and riparian ecosystems. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: It is likely that efforts would be made to increase the flow in the Rio Grande in areas that now experience dry events and that this acquisition of water could impact agricultural communities dependent on Rio Grande water for irrigation purposes. While a voluntary water market is important to maintaining slivery minnow habitat, the secondary impacts on communities could be substantial. Efforts to minimize drying events, combined with river restoration activities for the minnow, could reduce forage for migratory bird species. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 02-0400D, Volume 26, Number 4.

AN  - 36342663; 10017-030138_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a rights-of-way grant to Shell Pipeline Company LP construction and operation of a 16-inch-diameter refined petroleum pipeline system between distribution terminals in Odessa, Texas and Bloomfield, New Mexico are proposed. Demand for petroleum products in New Mexico has increased two percent per year over the past decade. It is assumed for the sake of this analysis that demand is likely to continue to grow at a similar rate in the foreseeable future. Simultaneously, local crude oil supplies previously available to New Mexico refineries are declining at an estimated seven to eight percent per year. The combination of increased fuel demand and declining crude oil availability to local refineries in New Mexico has given rise to the proposed project. The system would utilize an existing 406-mile, 16-inch diameter pipeline extending from Jal, New Mexico to a point located approximately 18 miles south of Bisti, New Mexico. Shell proposes to reverse the flow direction of the existing pipeline and, with the addition of two new 16-inch-diameter pipeline extensions, transport refined products from Odessa to Bloomfield. The pipeline system, to be known as the New Mexico Products Pipeline, would have a design capacity of 85,000 barrels per day of a combination of gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, and other petroleum products batches. The project would include the retrofitting of an existing 16-inch-diameter pipeline, construction of new pipeline extensions on each end of the existing pipelines, installation of pumping stations, and construction of an intermediate distribution terminal in Moriarty, New Mexico. The new system would also include facility upgrades and electrical powerlines in multiple locations along its route. Construction would commence in 2003. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, two pipeline alternatives, and alternatives regarding the electrical transmission lines. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The system would provide a cost-effective, efficient pipeline system that would transport refined petroleum products from Texas refineries to Albuquerque, Sante Fe, and the Four Corners area of New Mexico. The project would employ up to 200 workers and would otherwise contribute to the regional economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the pipeline would result in a limited number of spills and the associated threats to human safety, and groundwater and surface water quality and the associated fishery habitat. Other resources issues that would be raised include air quality degradation, mineral recovery limitations, paleontological and cultural site disturbance, destabilization of sensitive soils, destruction of vegetation and the associated terrestrial wildlife habitat, damage to habitat for federally protected animal species, degradation of visual aesthetics, impacts to motorists using roads crossed by the pipeline, effects on Native American tribal lands, and spillage of hazardous materials and waste during construction. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, amendments (P.L. 94-377).

T2  - GREAT BASIN NATIONAL PARK VISITOR CENTER, WHITE PINE COUNTY, NEVADA, (FINAL SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE AMENDMENT OF THE GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN OF 1993).
AN  - 36342835; 10012-030133_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: An amendment to the general management plan governing development and use of the Great Basin National Park, located in White Pine County, Nevada, is proposed to allow for construction of a visitor learning center. The 200,000-square-mile Great Basin physiographic region consists of more than 90 wide valley basins separated by 160 long, parallel, north/south-trending mountain ranges. The 77,082-acre Great Basin National Park lies at the heart of this vast region in the Snake Range in east-central Nevada, approximately 300 miles north of Las Vegas and 250 miles southwest of Salt Lake City, Utah. The plan proposed in the December 1992 final EIS, addressed management zoning, visitor use and development, natural resource management, cultural resource management, and land protection. The plan focuses on diversifying visitor opportunities by expanding interpretation of significant features in the park and in the Great Basin physiographic region, improving access to and within the park, providing a new visitor center, and offering new ways to view and appreciate the park's many resources. Most visitors continue to concentrate in the Lehman Cave and Wheeler Park areas, and two subzones were established in these areas to accommodate modern and semiprimitive day uses. The southern portion of the park was opened to more backcountry use by including large areas in the semiprimitive subzone, and trails were built to allow visitors to hike the entire length of the park from north to south. Areas with special resource needs and concerns, in particular the alpine and subalpine areas above 10,500 feet, were included in the protected natural area and research natural area subzones. The remainder of the park was designated as a primitive subzone. Grazing of domestic livestock continue under the enabling legislation except in the semiprimitive day-use area, protected natural area, and research natural area subzones. All valid mining claims are recognized. Historic resources of particular interest in the plan include the Lehman orchard, Lehman aqueduct, Rhodes cabin, Osceola ditch, and Johnson mill and mine. Land protection measures focus on visual resources, trailheads, eastern and western boundary adjustments, and rights- of-way. The currently proposed amendment would result in the construction of a visitor center within an 80-acre site on Baker Ridge. The facility would be between 9,500 square and 11,500 square feet and could consist of one or as many as three separate buildings. In addition to the proposed action, two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final supplemental EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The visitor center would concentrate and consolidate National Park Service (NPS) functions in one location, provide more convenient access for the visiting public, eliminate potential impacts to park resources resulting from the construction of new facilities within the park, and follow newer NPS planning guidelines that encourage construction of facilities outside of the park unit. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the center would directly impact archaeological site 26WP2016 and indirectly impact the other three sites within the 80-acre parcel. LEGAL MANDATES: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs, see 910402D, Volume 15, Number 6 and 92-0460F, Volume 16, Number 6.

T1  - PETRIFIED FOREST NATIONAL PARK NAVAJO AND APACHE COUNTIES, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36441650; 10007
AB  - PURPOSE: The revision of the general management plan for the Petrified Forest National Park in Navajo and Apache Counties, Arizona is proposed. The 93,533-acre park is located 100 miles east of Flagstaff. The park features one of the largest and most colorful concentrations of petrified wood in the world. Present day exposures of the 225-million-year-old Chinle Formation extend through the Painted Desert. Fossils preserved in this formation represent an entire ecosystem. These rare, accessible associations of animal and plant fossils make it possible to learn more about the Late Triassic period at the park than anywhere else in the world. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to use of Painted Desert Inn National Historical Landmark, staff housing needs, cultural landscape values, use and treatment of the Painted Desert headquarters complex, museum collections, accommodation of researchers, concessions, and resource protection, and visitor experience/interpretation in different areas of the park. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would perpetuate the present management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would emphasize reusing and maintaining the historic integrity of the Painted Desert headquarters complex. Visitor services at Painted Desert Inn, which would be rehabilitated, would be expanded. Facility improvements would be made at Rainbow Forest. Park lands would be managed in a manner similar to the current regime, but greater emphasis would be placed on protection of natural and cultural resources via increased monitoring and adapting to new information. Some trails and turnouts would be added, and visitor hours would be expanded in the north. Most park collections would be housed in a new facility at the headquarters complex. The plan would remain in effect for 15 to 20 years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would clearly define resource conditions and visitor experience, provide a framework for park managers to use when making decisions about important issues with respect to protection and interpretation of park resources, and ensure that the foundation for decision-making was coordinated with interested stakeholders. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Expansion of the trail system would result in increased potential for trampling of archaeological sites, disturbance of resources, vandalism, and theft. Parking facilities, walkway realignments, and trail development would affect the cultural landscape. Elimination of petrified wood sales within the park would reduce the income of concessionaires. LEGAL MANDATES: National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (P.L. Chapter 408, 39 Stat. 535) Public Law 91-504.

T1  - ROGUE NATIONAL WILD AND SCENIC RIVER, OREGON: HELLGATE RECREATION AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN.
AN  - 36436019; 10009
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Hellgate Recreation Area along the Rogue National Wild and Scenic River of Oregon is proposed In 1968, the U.S. Congress designated the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) as lead agencies for the management of the land and water within the National Wild and Scenic Rogue River corridor, which extends 84 miles from its confluence with the Applegate River downstream to the Lobster Creek bridge. The section of the corridor from the mouth of the Applegate River downstream to Marial, a distance of approximately 47 miles, is administered by the BLM. The lower 37 miles of the corridor are located within the boundaries of the Siskiyou National Forest and are administered by the Forest Service. The 27-mile Hellgate Recreation Area corridor, located within lands administered by the BLM, was classified as a recreational river. Major planning issues identified during scoping for the plan under consideration include those related to motorized and nonmotorized boating, nonmotorized boat angling, user fees, camping, trails, day-use areas, public access, and visitor services. The managemnet plan would address recreational, natural, and cultural resources. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative B), which would continue the current management regime, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative E) would limit motorized boating access to 19 trips per day; restrict motorized access to the whitewater section of Dunn Reach to weekends in July and August; allow nonmotorized watercraft unrestricted access to the river unless carrying capacities were reached; require user fees only for commercial users; provide for additional development and controls with respect to camping, trials, and day-use access; and provide for a new visitors' center in Rand. Five new trails would be provided. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would increase the level of recreational use while protecting and environment and the area's outstandingly remarkable values, including natural scenic qualities, fisheries, and recreational resources. Trial use would be improved and expanded, and boating safety would be enhanced. The plan would generate 2,086 jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased visitation would increase the potential for fire.

T1  - MONTICELLO & BLANDING MUNICIPAL WATERSHED IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS, MOAB /MONTICHELLO RANGER DISTRICT, MANTI LA SAL NATIONAL FOREST, BLANDING AND SAN JUAN COUNTY, UTAH.
AN  - 36441600; 10005
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a watershed improvement project in the Monticello and Blanding municipal watershed of the Moab/Monticello Ranger District, Manti-La Sal National Forest, San Juan County, Utah is proposed. The project area encompasses 20,400 acres and includes portions of the drainage areas of North Creek, Indian Creek, Spring Creek, Bankhead Creek, Pole Creek, and Johnson Creek. Approximately 12,000 acres of these watershed areas are managed as municipal water supply or watershed or watershed protection and improvement under the forest management plan. The project area is the primary source of water for the communities of Monticello and Blanding and surrounding areas. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to habitat for deer and elk, the transportation system, the visual landscape, recreation resources, and the municipal watershed. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action (Alternative B) would emphasize the reduction of the risk of the development of epidemic spruce beetle populations within the project area and provide for intensive management for the regeneration of aspen stands. The plan would authorize reconstruction of the city of Monticello's water collection and conveyance system; eliminate, abandon, or replace existing buried pipeline; upgrade or replace all of the existing water collection boxes and spring developments; construct or reconstruct a 12-foot-wide temporary road/trail within a 20- to 30-foot-wide corridor along the length of the pipeline to provide for temporary construction activities; improve North Creek Road (Forest Road 50079); reconstruct 0.25 mile or Forest Road 50354; construct temporary roads to facilitate log removal; decommission all temporary roads and other roads not necessary for long-term transportation purposes; classify 0.1 mile of classified trail that provides access to the north end of the Blanding Water Tunnel in Indian Creek; classify 0.3 mile of existing unclassified road that accesses the Blanding Water Tunnel from the north; treat approximately 808 acres of spruce/subalpine fir, 926 acres of aspen /spruce-fir, and 75 acres of aspen; use improvement cuts (conifer removal) and prescribed fire in mixed conifer/aspen stand areas to reduce competition from conifer species and enhance root sprouting (aspen); maintain the appearance of the Horsehead feature while promoting recruitment and release of young seedlings in the understory; continue spruce beetle trapping, pheromone baiting, and disposal of trap and infested trees; implement post-harvest activities, including activities to treat existing and harvested generated fuels, prepare seedbeds for natural regeneration, plant Engelman spruce seedlings, protect reforestation areas from damage from wildlife and livestock, and thin or weed trees less than eight inches in diameter. Alternative C would respond to wildlife concerns by modifying vegetation treatments. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed plan would provide for cooperation with local government agencies to permit more efficient collection and removal of water to the Monticello and Blandinig municipal water systems for public uses; correction of existing sources of water loss and water quality degradation; improve the transportation system in the area; and move toward restoration of the ecological structure, function, processes, and composition of the spruce and aspen components of the project area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Timber harvest, road construction, and prescribed burning would result in destruction of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, including habitat for deer and elk, and the disturbance of soils, resulting in erosion and sedimentation of receiving surface waters in the short-term. Sedimentation would affect the quality of the municipal water supply. Visual quality and other recreational values would decline in the short-term as well.

The plan would authorize reconstruction of the city of Monticello's water collection and conveyance system; eliminate, abandon, or replace existing buried pipeline; upgrade or replace all of the existing water collection boxes and spring developments; construct or reconstruct a 12-foot-wide temporary road/trail within a 20- to 30-foot-wide corridor along the length of the pipeline to provide for temporary construction activities; improve North Creek Road (Forest Road 50079); reconstruct 0.25 mile or Forest Road 50354; construct temporary roads to facilitate log removal; decommission all temporary roads and other roads not necessary for long-term transportation purposes; classify 0.1 mile of classified trail that provides access to the north end of the Blanding Water Tunnel in Indian Creek; classify 0.3 mile of existing unclassified road that accesses the Blanding Water Tunnel from the north; treat approximately 808 acres of spruce/subalpine fir, 926 acres of aspen /spruce-fir, and 75 acres of aspen; use improvement cuts (conifer removal) and prescribed fire in mixed conifer/aspen stand areas to reduce competition from conifer species and enhance root sprouting (aspen); maintain the appearance of the Horsehead feature while promoting recruitment and release of young seedlings in the understory; continue spruce beetle trapping, pheromone baiting, and disposal of trap and infested trees; implement post-harvest activities, including activities to treat existing and harvested generated fuels, prepare seedbeds for natural regeneration, plant Engelman spruce seedlings, protect reforestation areas from damage from wildlife and livestock, and thin or weed trees less than eight inches in diameter. Alternative C would respond to wildlife concerns by modifying vegetation treatments. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed plan would provide for cooperation with local government agencies to permit more efficient collection and removal of water to the Monticello and Blandinig municipal water systems for public uses; correction of existing sources of water loss and water quality degradation; improve the transportation system in the area; and move toward restoration of the ecological structure, function, processes, and composition of the spruce and aspen components of the project area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Timber harvest, road construction, and prescribed burning would result in destruction of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, including habitat for deer and elk, and the disturbance of soils, resulting in erosion and sedimentation of receiving surface waters in the short-term. Sedimentation would affect the quality of the municipal water supply. Visual quality and other recreational values would decline in the short-term as well. LEGAL MANDATES: National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

T1  - ROCK CREEK PARK AND THE ROCK CREEK AND POTOMAC PARKWAY, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
AN  - 36426313; 10003
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for Rock Creek Park and the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway in the District of Columbia is proposed. The area covered by the plan includes 1,754 acres administered by the National Park Service in the Rock Creek valley from the Maryland state line south to the National Zoo, the two-mile-long Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway extending from the National Zoo to Virginia Avenue, lands along selected tributaries of Rock Creek, and roadways that are associated with these areas. A pivotal management issue to be resolved by the plan involved the use of park roads by commuters on weekdays. This issue includes determining the appropriate level of commuter traffic in Rock Creek Park and the degree to which park values would be affected by such use. The other two key management issues are the currently limited ability to provide orientation, interpretation and educational services to visitors to the park and the problems that park administrative and operation activities encounter at their present locations in historic structures. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative B), which would continue the current management pattern, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative D) would eliminate automobile traffic along much of the northern part of Beach Drive from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM each weekday. Three segments would be closed; these would be the same segments that are currently closed on weekends. Management of resources other than motor vehicle use times would focus on improving visitor safety, better control of traffic volumes and speeds through the park, enhanced interpretation and educational opportunities, and improved use of park resources, particularly cultural resources. The alternative would generally retain the current scope of visitor uses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: All action alternatives would improve management of the resources of the park and the associated parkway. The preferred alternative, and any of the other action alternatives, would enhance native wildlife habitat, historic structures, and cultural landscapes, as well as visitor safety. Alternative D would represent a compromise between traffic use and nonmotorized recreation. Air quality within the valley would improve significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Access to and from the downtown area during morning and evening peak hours would be limited somewhat and traffic on routes parallel to Beach Drive would increase significantly due to the diversion of traffic from Beach Drive. LEGAL MANDATES: National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (P.L. Chapter 408, 39 Stat. 535) and Public Buildings Act of 1913.

T1  - GLACIER BAY NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERVE, ALASKA: VESSEL QUOTAS AND OPERATING REQUIREMENTS.
AN  - 36436151; 9994
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of vessel quotas and operating requirements for the Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve (GPNPP) of Alaska is proposed. The GBNPP is a marine-oriented park and preserve located in the southeastern portion of the state near Juneau. It is a popular destination due to its spectacular scenery, including tidewater glaciers and abundant wildlife. The most significant physical aspect of Glacier Bay is that it is a recently deglaciated fjord. The north end of the bay's main body divides into two fjord systems known as the East Arm and West Arm. The biological environment includes habitat for threatened and endangered species marine mammals, marine birds and raptors, marine fish, and coastal /shoreline communities. The human environment includes archaeological sites, traditional cultural properties of value to Native Alaskans, cultural landscapes, and facilities for visitors. Vessel use and safety are important issues considered in planning vessel quotas and operating requirements. Other issues include wilderness resources and local and regional socioeconomics. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would perpetuate the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 3) would incorporate current operating requirements, while differing from the current planning regime with respect to the number of vessels that would be permitted to enter Glacier Bay. The quota season would extend from June 1 through August 31. The seasonal entry quota for cruise ships could increase from 139 to 184; this would allow for two cruise ships per day every day during the quota season. This alternative would also allow for three tour vessels, six charter vessels, and 25 private vessels to enter the bay daily. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would expand opportunities for GPNPP visitation, while protecting the areas natural resources. Visitor-use opportunities would be optimized via the allowance of a greater number of cruise ships in Glacier Bay, potentially increasing cruise ship seasonal use days. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: If effect thresholds were exceeded due to the increased quotas, the natural and cultural resources of the bay and surrounding coastal areas could be impaired. Vessel noise would intrude on the natural soundscape on the surface and under the surface of the bay. Under certain weather conditions, cruise ship stack emissions would be visible and could linger for several hours. Though unlikely, a large spill from a ship in ice-filled waters would have a major impact on the bay ecosystem. Vessel traffic would adversely affect both humpback wales and Steller sea lions, both of which are federally protected species, though these impacts would be at the level of the individual mammal not at a population level. Other marine mammals would be affected similarly. Marine birds and raptors would be disturbed by vessel movements and noise. Backcountry visitors would be exposed to the sights, sounds, and odors generated by ships in the bay and, in general, the wilderness experience would be somewhat degraded in some areas around the bay. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487), National Park Service General Authorities Act of 1970, National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (PL Chapter 409, 39 Stat 535), and Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act of 1999 (P.L. 105-277).

T2  - LIVING WITH THE RIVER: SCHUYLKILL RIVER VALLEY NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA, BERKS, CHESTER, MONTGOMERY, PHILADELPHIA, AND SCHUYLKILL COUNTIES, PENNSYLVANIA.
AN  - 36380026; 9985-030105_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The establishment of a land and resource management plan for the Schuylkill River Valley National Heritage Area Berks, Chester, Montgomery, Philadelphia, and Schuylkill counties, Pennsylvania is proposed. A variety of peoples, including the Leni Lenapi Native American tribe, the first European settlers, and many other ethnic groups, have migrated to the Schuylkill region over time. The area's abundant natural resources and productive soils made it an early industrial center and breadbasket for the colonies. During the American Revolution, the perseverance and sacrifice of George Washington's army at Valley Forge played a key role in the birth of the nation. The Schuylkill River and canal system were major arteries of the Industrial Revolution. The valley includes abundant cultural, natural, and recreational resources. In 1995, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania designated river and its major tributaries as a Heritage Corridor under the Heritage Parks Program, and the Schuylkill Heritage Corridor Management Action Plan was prepared. In 2000, the US Congress acknowledged the valley's national significance by designating the Schuylkill River National Heritage Area. Goals and strategies identified as pertinent to the plan during scoping include those related to resource conservation and enhancement, education and interpretation, recreation, community revitalization, and heritage tourism. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred plan (Alternative D) would provide a management framework and guide for decision-making by the Schuylkill River Greenway Association. Program actins would develop programmatic linkages to build the regional identity and image of the heritage area, work toward completion of the Schuylkill River Trail System, continue to develop a heritage gateway system, and work through the Schuylkill River Watershed Network or other partnership arrangements to initiate at least two additional projects of area-wide significance. Estimated cost of the proposed program is $6.55 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The management plan would provide valuable recreational and educational experiences for local residents and visitors to the area, increase tourism and otherwise boost the local economy. Area cultural resources, including historical, archaeological, and natural resources, would be preserved and protected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Though no unavoidable adverse impacts have been identified for any of the four alternatives at this time, it is likely that projects resulting from implementation of the management plan will have to undergo separate environmental review at which time unavoidable adverse impacts could be identified. LEGAL MANDATES: National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).

T1  - WUPATKI NATIONAL MONUMENT, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36437976; 9982
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for the Wupatki National Monument of Arizona is proposed. The plan would guide the management of the monument for the next 10 to 15 years. The 35,422-acre monument and the area surrounding the monument contain thousands of archaeological sites, dating mostly to the period after the eruption of the Sunset Crater Volcano (the years 1064 through approximately 1275). The monument contains and exceptionally well-preserved archaeological landsacpe, including large residential sites, isolated field structures, ceremonial ballcourts, lithic quarries, agricultural fields, shrines, rock art, and other features developed primarily during the 12th and 13th centuries. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to archaeologic resources, the historic character of the built environment, ethnographic resources, natural systems and processes, federally protected species, wetlands, floodplains, riparian habitat, visitor experience, park neighbors, land management plans, and operational efficiency. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 3) would include significant resources and landscapes north of the park within park boundaries, retain existing motorized sightseeing opportunities, focus on existing major visitor use areas, provide visitor orientation at the existing visitor center and at a new contact station at the north entrance, and diversify visitor experience via new trails, new interpretive media and activities, and guided hikes to certain cultural sites. Forest Road (FR) 545 would remain open to 24-hour, two-way traffic. A new contact station and associated wayside exhibits would be provided at the north entrance from U.S. 89. Motorized sightseeing opportunities would continue at the same level. The existing visitor center would remain open. Opportunities for independence and solitude would be provided via new self-guided trails and interpretive activities. Guided programs would be offered to a wide variety of cultural sites and occasional escorted activities would occur along existing administrative roads. The Wukoki spur road would be religned to meet FR 545 north of the visitor center. New parking and trail facilities would be provided. Alternative 1 would limit motorized sightseeing and focus on extended learning activities; Alternative 2 would emphasize motorized sightseeing and resource protection through on-site education. Alternative 4 would emphasize integrated interpretation of the facility with respect to the two Flagstaff Area parks, namely Sunset Crater National Monument and Walnut Canyon National Monument. Estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $1.8 million POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would ensure the preservation of sensitive park resources while providing a greater diversity of visitor experiences and locations. Existing visitor education opportunities at popular use areas would be enhanced, and guided access would be provided for undeveloped areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Continued use of the visitor centers and trails would affect archaeological and historic sites within the monument, which, in turn, could affect Native American cultural values. Natural systems and processes could also be affected by visitor uses, and the road system would affect wildlife migration patterns. Habitat of sensitive plant and animal species could be lost or damaged. LEGAL MANDATES: General Authorities Act of 1970, National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (16 U.S.C. 3) and Public Law 104-333.

T1  - MEMPHIS TO ATLANTA CORRIDOR STUDY, MISSISSIPPI/ALABAMA STATE LINE TO INTERSTATE 65, COLBERT, FRANKLIN, LAUDERDALE, LAWRENCE, LIMESTONE, AND MORGAN COUNTIES, ALABAMA.
AN  - 36435879; 9980
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of approximately 75 miles of freeway from the Mississippi/Alabama state line to Interstate 65 (I-65) in Colbert, Franklin, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, and Morgan counties, Alabama is proposed. The project constitutes the western portion of the Memphis to Atlanta Congressional High Priority Corridor designated by Section 1105(c)(7) of the Intermodal Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. The eastern portion, from I-65 to the Alabama/Georgia state line, is being studied concurrently and will be the subject of another EIS process. While the documents are being prepared separately, the intent is that the two documents will be processed simultaneously. The part of the project at hand would involve construction of a 69.8- to 77.5-mile east-west, controlled access highway, within a minimum right-of-way of 295 feet, in northwest Alabama. Urbanized areas within the corridor, which is largely rural and dominated by agricultural land uses, include Florence, Sheffield, Muscle Shoals, Athens, and Decatur. The area currently lacks an efficient interstate-quality east-west facility to provide for the regional movement of travelers and goods. Four reasonable corridor alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this final EIS. Under any alternative, access would be controlled via interchanges, requiring additional rights-of-way at some locations. The preferred alternative (Alternative C1) would Depending on the alternative selected, estimated cost of the project ranges from $640.6 million to 718.2 million. Cost of the preferred alternative is estimated at $639.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway would increase east-west regional and interstate mobility and provide infrastructure to promote economic development in northwestern Alabama. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for the preferred alternative would result in displacement of 177 residences, five commercial establishments, one church, 2,224 acres of prime and unique farmland, and 253 to 358.5 acres of wetlands. Any alternative would cross the floodplains of numerous major streams, possibly including the Tennessee and/or Elk rivers. The facility would traverse the Natchez Trace Parkway, an historic and scenic travel and trade route. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 45 sensitive receptor sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous waste sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

The area is bordered by Galice and Bear Camp roads to the south, the Wild Rougue Wilderness Area to the west, and the Marial National Backcountry Byway to the north and east. The proposed action is based on a watershed analysis completed for the northern portion of the Wild Rogue Watershed in December of 1999. There is a growing need for management actions to reduce fuel hazard in the planning area and to avoid large losses of valuable resources. Key issues identified during scoping include those associated with reduction of fuels to reduce the risk of fire in the area, impacts to late-successional habitat, timber management, and transportation system management. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 3), are considered in this final EIS. The range of activities under action alternatives would include timber harvest generating anywhere from 3.0 million to 11.9 million board-feet (MMBF) of timber, restoration activities, road decommissioning, water source enhancement projects, fuel hazard reduction projects, and other land management direction. Two alternatives would require amendment of the Medford resource management plan, involving the addition of 1,677 or 2,800 acres of designated area of critical environmental concern (ACEC). The preferred alternative (Alternative 1) would involve harvest of 11.9 MMBF of timber Road construction and most logging would be prohibited. Active timber management would be limited to stand establishment and manipulation in previously harvested areas. Fire suppression would be implemented with limited use of mechanized equipment such as dozers and tractor lines. Heavy equipment would stay primarily on existing ridge roads. The plan would include the decommissioning of 9.7 miles of road, closure of 5.1 miles of road via gates, closure of 1.8 miles of roads via barricades, construction of 1.5 miles of temporary road, renovation of 7.1 miles of road, reestablishment of the road prism on 7.4 miles, and placement of rock surfaces on 6.7 miles of road. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the preferred plan would promote late-successional habitat via commercial and non-commercial density management. The plan would generate wood products for the local and regional market. Road decommissioning would return the affected corridors to timber production. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred plan would result in the loss of late-successional habitat and short-term degradation of some areas of such habitat not lost. Suitable owl would be destroyed. Critical habitat would be impacted though destruction or degradation. Timber harvest and related activities would destroy vegetation and disturb soils in the short-term, resulting in sedimentation of receiving surface waters. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 02-0273D, Volume 26, Number 3.

T1  - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, GUNNISON GORGE NATIONAL CONSERVATION AREA, DELTA AND MONTROSE COUNTIES, COLORADO.
AN  - 36417137; 9973
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a resource management plan for the Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area (NCA) of Delta and Montrose counties, Colorado is proposed. The area encompasses approximately 196,000 acres in southwestern Colorado,; the area is located approximately 10 miles north of the city of Montrose and seven miles east of the city of Delta. The areas includes the 55,745-acre Gunnison Gorge NCA and the Gunnison Gorge Wilderness, which encompasses 17,784 acres within the NCA, as well as 99,743 acres of privately owned land and 666 acres of state land. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would continue the current management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative D) would emphasize the natural, cultural, scenic, wilderness, and recreational values for which the NCA and the wilderness were designated. Some special management areas would be created for scientific research and public education. The resources in the planning area would be monitored during and after activities that involve surface disturbance, and adaptive management techniques would be employed as needed to ensure that land health standards were met. Public lands in the planning area would be managed to achieve the psychological experiences and individual, social, economic, and environmental benefits associated with varying degrees of solitude and remoteness, a variety of recreational opportunities and experiences, education and interpretation opportunities, and land and resource health conditions that meet of improve land health standards. In general, approximately 56 percent of the planning area would be managed with a resource conservation emphasis, 24 percent with a recreation-based emphasis, and the remaining 19 percent with no specific emphasis though the focus would be on multiple-use management. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide a comprehensive framework for managing the NCA, wilderness, and other generally administered lands within the planning area. Multiple use of the administered lands would be incorporated into resource management as appropriate. This alternative would improve land health conditions in all areas that do not meet land health standards. The Gunnison Gorge corridor would benefit from management as a wild and scenic river. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way withdrawals would affect access to the area by communication and utility interests. Reductions in areas available for off-highway vehicle (OHV) use would reduce recreational access to the affected areas. Some areas would be affected visually and otherwise by increased OHV use. Mineral and geothermal developments on up to 40,038 acres would result in destruction of vegetation, disturbance of soils, and loss of the associated wildlife habitat during the life of mineral extraction operations. Habitat for federally protected species could be affected. Grazing allotment size would be reduced in some areas, affecting the economic viability of some range operators. LEGAL MANDATES: Black Canyon of Gunnison National Park and Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area Act of 1999 (P.L. 106-76), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968 (16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.), and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

AN  - 36382872; 9976-030096_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a resource management plan for the Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trail National Conservation Area and associated wilderness and other contiguous lands in Nevada is proposed. The 1.2-million-acre conservation area in northwestern Nevada includes 815,000 acres designated as a National Conservation Area and 752,000 acres in 10 wilderness areas; 378,000 acres in the wilderness areas overlap with the conservation areas. The conservation area and associated wilderness areas were created specifically to protect one of the last nationally significant segments of the historic emigrant trails used by pioneers to travel from the eastern United States to Oregon and California. The landscape has largely remained unchanged since the mid-1800s. The area contains an array of unique historic, cultural, educational, wildlife, riparian, and wilderness resources, as well as habitat for federally protected species and recreational values. Grazing and special recreational permit events are also part of the management mandate. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred action alternative (Alternative B) would emphasize the provision of visitor opportunities to experience, in a self-directed fashion, what the emigrants and other early visitors to the area experienced in the mid-1980s. A zoning system would be implemented; however, restrictions on recreational activity would be applied as necessary to mitigate resource damage. Existing transportation routes would be brought up to standard. Off-highway vehicle use would be limited in some areas and some areas would be closed. Cultural and paleontological resources would be managed more aggressively through inventories and cataloguing according to resource type to emphasize public use. Some restrictions would apply in wilderness areas and areas of critical environmental concern, and activities in these areas would be limited; boundary adjustments would be made to both types of areas. Other management stipulations would address vegetation, wildland fire, grazing allotments, wildlife water developments, utility rights-of-way and land use permits, mineral resource exploitation, and partnerships to provide support services and encourage research. POSITIVE IMPACTS: As compared to the current management regime (No Action Alternative), the preferred alternative would more readily identify and accommodate changing conditions over time by allowing the application of management decisions responsive to these changing conditions. The alternative would provide managers with the flexibility to respond to increasing visitation and resource deterioration that could occur over time. Habitat for wildlife would benefit from increased management protection. Grazing operator flexibility would generally be maintained; areas grazed at the time of the establishment of the authorizing legislation would be maintained. Increased visitation and facility developments in the area would provide significant employment opportunities and otherwise boost the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Access restrictions would affect some users. Increase in recreational visitation would increase disturbance of vegetation, soils, and the associated wildlife habitat, as well as increase disturbance of cultural resource sites. Management activities would result in some limited reductions in experiences of solitude, naturalness, and the outstandingly remarkable values associated with streams eligible for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. LEGAL MANDATES: Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trail National Conservation Act of 2000 and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

POSITIVE IMPACTS: As compared to the current management regime (No Action Alternative), the preferred alternative would more readily identify and accommodate changing conditions over time by allowing the application of management decisions responsive to these changing conditions. The alternative would provide managers with the flexibility to respond to increasing visitation and resource deterioration that could occur over time. Habitat for wildlife would benefit from increased management protection. Grazing operator flexibility would generally be maintained; areas grazed at the time of the establishment of the authorizing legislation would be maintained. Increased visitation and facility developments in the area would provide significant employment opportunities and otherwise boost the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Access restrictions would affect some users. Increase in recreational visitation would increase disturbance of vegetation, soils, and the associated wildlife habitat, as well as increase disturbance of cultural resource sites. Management activities would result in some limited reductions in experiences of solitude, naturalness, and the outstandingly remarkable values associated with streams eligible for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. LEGAL MANDATES: Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trail National Conservation Act of 2000 and Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.).

AN  - 36370563; 9976-030096_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a resource management plan for the Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trail National Conservation Area and associated wilderness and other contiguous lands in Nevada is proposed. The 1.2-million-acre conservation area in northwestern Nevada includes 815,000 acres designated as a National Conservation Area and 752,000 acres in 10 wilderness areas; 378,000 acres in the wilderness areas overlap with the conservation areas. The conservation area and associated wilderness areas were created specifically to protect one of the last nationally significant segments of the historic emigrant trails used by pioneers to travel from the eastern United States to Oregon and California. The landscape has largely remained unchanged since the mid-1800s. The area contains an array of unique historic, cultural, educational, wildlife, riparian, and wilderness resources, as well as habitat for federally protected species and recreational values. Grazing and special recreational permit events are also part of the management mandate. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred action alternative (Alternative B) would emphasize the provision of visitor opportunities to experience, in a self-directed fashion, what the emigrants and other early visitors to the area experienced in the mid-1980s. A zoning system would be implemented; however, restrictions on recreational activity would be applied as necessary to mitigate resource damage. Existing transportation routes would be brought up to standard. Off-highway vehicle use would be limited in some areas and some areas would be closed. Cultural and paleontological resources would be managed more aggressively through inventories and cataloguing according to resource type to emphasize public use. Some restrictions would apply in wilderness areas and areas of critical environmental concern, and activities in these areas would be limited; boundary adjustments would be made to both types of areas. Other management stipulations would address vegetation, wildland fire, grazing allotments, wildlife water developments, utility rights-of-way and land use permits, mineral resource exploitation, and partnerships to provide support services and encourage research. POSITIVE IMPACTS: As compared to the current management regime (No Action Alternative), the preferred alternative would more readily identify and accommodate changing conditions over time by allowing the application of management decisions responsive to these changing conditions. The alternative would provide managers with the flexibility to respond to increasing visitation and resource deterioration that could occur over time. Habitat for wildlife would benefit from increased management protection. Grazing operator flexibility would generally be maintained; areas grazed at the time of the establishment of the authorizing legislation would be maintained. Increased visitation and facility developments in the area would provide significant employment opportunities and otherwise boost the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Access restrictions would affect some users. Increase in recreational visitation would increase disturbance of vegetation, soils, and the associated wildlife habitat, as well as increase disturbance of cultural resource sites. Management activities would result in some limited reductions in experiences of solitude, naturalness, and the outstandingly remarkable values associated with streams eligible for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.

T1  - AMENDMENT 17 TO THE COCONINO FOREST PLAN FOR THE FLAGSTAFF/LAKE MARY ECOSYSTEM ANALYSIS AREA, PEAKS AND MORMON LAKE RANGER DISTRICTS, COCONINO NATIONAL FOREST, COCONINO COUNTY, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36438068; 9970
AB  - PURPOSE: An amendment to the Cocinino Forest Plan with respect to the lands surrounding the city of Flagstaff, the Flagstaff Area National Park Service National Monuments, and the Lake Mary watershed in Coconino County, Arizona is proposed. The 300,423-acre study area surrounds city of Flagstaff and the communities of Doney Park, Fort Valley, Kachina Village, Forest Highlands, Lake Mary Road, and Mountainaire. It also includes the Lake Mary watershed and lands between Sunset Crater Volcano and Wupatki National Monuments. The amendment would be referenced during project-level analysis and decision-making in the future. Implementation of the desired condition described in the forest plan, including this amendment, would occur over a period of years. The proposed action would add an emphasis on fire risk reduction and recreation management for lands in close proximity to residential areas. The plan would outline objectives for recreational settings, including motorized versus nonmotorized settings, based on landscape analysis and design. Recreational settings provisions would allow for a framework for future site-specific planning and decision-making for outfitter/guide and group uses, road management, and camping. A new rock climbing direction stipulation would be added. Adjustments to wildlife cover and a redistribution of Mexican spotted owl habitat near residential areas would be included via the amendment. Language with respect to scenery, noxious weeds, land exchange, watershed management, mountain meadow and riparian area management would be clarified. The language of the amendment would emphasize continued cooperation and coordination with local, state, and federal agencies. New management areas would be delineated, with additional emphasis items and direction. Management areas would be created based on land features, biophysical characteristics, and/or the lands relationship to adjacent communities. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative B), are considered in this final EIS. Alternative C is the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The action alternatives would improve conditions in the study area such that possible future impacts could be lessened. The distribution of wildlife habitat would be improved and the possibility of wildfire would decline significantly. The miles and distribution of roads and trails would be less over time under the action alternatives. Human disturbance of wildlife would decline significantly, though opportunities for high-quality recreational experiences would increase. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some wildlife habitat could be affected, particularly with respect to the amount and distribution of wildlife hiding habitat and thermal cover. The action alternatives would reduce recreational access due to reduction of road and trail mileage, and some recreational camping sites would be removed. LEGAL MANDATES: National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 03-0033D, Volume 27, Number 1.

T2  - TONTO NATIONAL MONUMENT, GILA COUNTY, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36350562; 9968-030088_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a 10- to 15-year general management plan for the Tonto National Monument, Gila County, Arizona is proposed. The 1,120-acre monument is located in east-central Arizona approximately 50 miles east of Phoenix in a rapidly changing regional environment. The monument was established to protect numerous prehistoric archaeological sites, including two Gila-phase cliff dwellings of the Salado culture. The primary sites are the Upper and Lower Cliff Dwellings. Rock shelters overlooking Tonto Basin have protected the nearly 700-year-old masonry cliff dwellings and 50 surface sites also have been documented within the monument area. Six of the archaeological sites on the List of Classified Structures. Evidence of Archaic, Apache, or Yavapai, and historic Euro-American occupations is also found among the sites within the boundaries of the monument. Archaeological excavations have revealed well-preserved collections of pottery, agricultural tools, ornaments, textiles, and other artifacts. The diversity of the natural setting, located between steep cliffs and bajadas (gently sloping hills) supports rich Sonoran Desert vegetation. The astonishing variety of plants provides habitat for over 200 species of wildlife. Much has changed since the monument's existing management plan was completed in 1962. The existing plan is insufficient to provide adequate guidance for the current management of the monument. There is a potential for greatly increased tourism within the Tonto Basin as a result of new and expanded recreational facilities at Roosevelt Lake, improved highway access from Globe and Payson, and the increased growth of the Phoenix metropolitan area. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative D) would involve construction of a new administrative facility within monument boundaries to improve staff needs and the remodeling of the existing visitor center to increase visitor orientation and educational opportunities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to improving staff efficiency and enhancing visitor experience, the proposed action would improve the management of cultural and natural resources associated with the monument area. Increased visitation would contribute to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities within the monument would disturb natural vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. Increased visitation could result in vandalism and other disturbance of cultural sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Order 6116 and Presidential Proclamations 787 and 2230. PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 02-0286D, Volume 26, Number 3.

T1  - MORRISTOWN NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, MORRIS AND SOMERSET COUNTIES, NEW JERSEY: GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN.
AN  - 36443581; 9963
AB  - PURPOSE: The revision of the general management plan for the Morristown National Historical Park in Morris and Summerset counties, New Jersey is proposed. The park was established in 1933 to preserve the lands and resources associated with the winter encampments of the Continental Army during the War for Independence. At Morristown, General George Washington demonstrated his superb leadership by holding the army together despite seemingly overwhelming difficulties; and his officers and men demonstrated their fortitude and dedication. The current master plan for the park was completed in 1976. Although, it continues to be used as a general guide for operations, it is no longer adequate to address the policy and operational issues now facing park managers. Since completion of the 1976 master plan, there have been a number of significant changes in the park's resources, visitors, and setting, as well as changes in National Park Service policy. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative C) would emphasize the encampment period; however, it would also recognize efforts of successive generations to protect, interpret, and commemorate that period. The alternative would rely more on interpretive methods to present a scene evocative of the encampment period than the other two alternatives. This alternative would also preserve selected 19th and 20 century conditions and features added to the historic scene, and could draw on them to illustrate the history of park resources. Actions taken under the alternative could include rehabilitation and expansion of the museum associated with the park; implementation of a cultural landscape treatment plan to integrate cultural and natural resource management objectives to protect cultural resources and historic character and sustain the park's mixed hardwood forest; continue to provide interpretive facilities on the encampment, but treat other themes including commemoration and historic preservation; develop a park-town shuttle with local partners to serve multiple units; increase the authorized land acquisition ceiling to better facilitate land acquisition on a willing-seller basis; and maintain the park authorities as the leader in regional initiatives. Costs of research and construction, land acquisition, and annual operations under the preferred alternative are estimated at $10 million, $35 million, and 2.7 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The updated plan would improve the protection and use of the park's museum and collections; provide for the sustainable management of park forests as a dynamic ecological resource; direct the management of the park's cultural landscapes; protect the historic setting and scenic beauty of park lands from adjacent land developments; direct the management of lands added to the park since the previous plan was adopted; protect park lands from sound and air pollution, particularly pollution generated by traffic on Interstate 287; support enhanced interpretation of the winter encampments and other important historic sites; interpret the historical aspects of the park for visitors primarily interested in its scenic and recreational qualities; and examine the park's role in historical, recreational, and conservation initiatives in the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Landscaping and museum rehabilitation and expansion would disturb soils and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat in the short-term. LEGAL MANDATES: National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).

T1  - NORTH RASMUSSEN RIDGE MINE, ARGIUM CONDA PHOSPHATE OPERATIONS, CARIBOU COUNTY, IDAHO. [Part 2 of 2]
T2  - NORTH RASMUSSEN RIDGE MINE, ARGIUM CONDA PHOSPHATE OPERATIONS, CARIBOU COUNTY, IDAHO.
AN  - 36382767; 9964-030084_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The expansion of phosphate mining at Agrium Conda Phosphate Operations' North Rasmussen Ridge Mine in Caribou County, Idaho is proposed. Existing operations at the Central Rasmussen Mine are approved via a 1997 Mine Plan Approval. The mining operations would be extended from the existing sites at South and Central Rasmussen Ridge northward along the ridge onto lands administered by the US Forest Service within the Caribou-Targhee National Forest and by the Idaho Department of Lands. The project area is located on public lands 19 miles northeast of Soda Springs. Mining would occur on Federal Phosphate Leases I-043375 and I-07619 within the national forest and on State Lese I-93313, adjacent to the federal leases; the leases encompass 920 acres, 437 acres, and 200 acres, respectively. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 2), are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action (Alternative 1), which is also the preferred alternative, would include the development of two mine pits and a haul road. Use of the existing support and transportation systems would continue. All the waste rock generated from the pits would be paced in the Central and North Rasmussen pits after the ultimate pit depths have been achieved. Approximately 1.0 million cubic yards of growth media would be salvaged and several hundred thousand cubic yards of would be used immediately to cover disturbed areas. A storage area for growth media would be developed to store up to 918,000 cubic yards of material temporarily. All available topsoil and alluvium from the pit would be applied directly to completed and resloped areas where possible or salvaged and held n the growth media storage area for future use. Approximately 197 acres of the disturbed area would be reclaimed. Most of the open pits would be backfilled to approximate original contours, and one pit would be partially backfilled. Based on Agrium's current annual production rate, the life span of the propeod mine would be approximately eight years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expanded mining operations would provide phosphate for fertilizer and other uses in the region. Mining activities would employ workers already at the Agrium site and, potentially, could employ other workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining and associated activities would disturb 269 acres of land and alter the topography of the area somewhat. The new pits would disturb 199 acres, while the remainder of the disturbed acreage would be affected by roads, ponds, and growth media stockpiles. Disturbed lands would include 193 acres of conifer, 69 acres of mixed aspen/conifer, and eight acres of sagebrush, and the associated wildlife habitat, including habitat for federally protected species. Air quality in the vicinity of the mine would decline during operations. Mining would degrade surface and groundwater flows and soils. Aquatic habitat could be effected by releases of selenium. Grazing allotments would be affected by the development of the pits and associated facilities. Visual quality would be marred by mining structures and the pits, and other aspects of the recreational experience of the area would be degraded. Hazardous materials would continue to be handled at the mine site. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and General Mining Law of 1872, as amended (30 U.S.C. 21 et seq.).

T1  - MORRISTOWN NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, MORRIS AND S0MERSET COUNTIES, NEW JERSEY: GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN.
AN  - 16345401; 10611
AB  - PURPOSE: The revision of the general management plan for the Morristown National Historical Park in Morris and Summerset counties, New Jersey is proposed. The park was established in 1933 to preserve the lands and resources associated with the winter encampments of the Continental Army during the War for Independence. At Morristown, General George Washington demonstrated his superb leadership by holding the army together despite seemingly overwhelming difficulties; and his officers and men demonstrated their fortitude and dedication. The current master plan for the park was completed in 1976. Although, it continues to be used as a general guide for operations, it is no longer adequate to address the policy and operational issues now facing park managers. Since completion of the 1976 master plan, there have been a number of significant changes in the park's resources, visitors, and setting, as well as changes in National Park Service policy. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative C) would emphasize the encampment period; however, it would also recognize efforts of successive generations to protect, interpret, and commemorate that period. The alternative would rely more on interpretive methods to present a scene evocative of the encampment period than the other two alternatives. This alternative would also preserve selected 19th and 20 century conditions and features added to the historic scene, and could draw on them to illustrate the history of park resources. Actions taken under the alternative could include rehabilitation and expansion of the museum associated with the park; implementation of a cultural landscape treatment plan to integrate cultural and natural resource management objectives to protect cultural resources and historic character and sustain the park's mixed hardwood forest; continue to provide interpretive facilities on the encampment, but treat other themes including commemoration and historic preservation; develop a park-town shuttle with local partners to serve multiple units; increase the authorized land acquisition ceiling to better facilitate land acquisition on a willing-seller basis; and maintain the park authorities as the leader in regional initiatives. Costs of research and construction, land acquisition, and annual operations under the preferred alternative are estimated at $10.8 million, $20 million, and $2.7 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The updated plan would improve the protection and use of the park's museum and collections; provide for the sustainable management of park forests as a dynamic ecological resource; direct the management of the park's cultural landscapes; protect the historic setting and scenic beauty of park lands from adjacent land developments; direct the management of lands added to the park since the previous plan was adopted; protect park lands from sound and air pollution, particularly pollution generated by traffic on Interstate 287; support enhanced interpretation of the winter encampments and other important historic sites; interpret the historical aspects of the park for visitors primarily interested in its scenic and recreational qualities; and examine the park's role in historical, recreational, and conservation initiatives in the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Landscaping and museum rehabilitation and expansion would disturb soils and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat in the short-term. LEGAL MANDATES: National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (49 U.S.C. 303). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 03-0282D, Volume 27, Number 3.

T1  - DENALI NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERVE, ALASKA: BACKCOUNTRY MANAGEMENT PLAN, GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT.
AN  - 36438309; 9958
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of an updated backcountry management plan for the Denali National Park and Preserve of Alaska is proposed. The existing 1976 backcountry planning document and the 1986 general management plan are, respectively, out-of-date with respect to legislative mandates or fail to address backcountry management needs. Visitation has grown dramatically for some backcountry activities, requiring new methods of management. The proposed plan would address management of all park and preserve areas not included in the Entrance Area and the South Side Development Concept Plans, including the designated wilderness in the former Mount McKinley National Mark, the national park additions, the northwest and southwest national preserve areas, and the park road corridor west of park headquarters during the winter season. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. Each of the four action alternatives would provide for growth in the level of backcountry use, with additional facilities and services proposed under three of the four alternatives. The preferred alternative (Alternative D) would provide for expanded recreational opportunities in many areas of the park and preserve for activities that are particularly well suited to the unique character of Denali, Use levels would not exceed those that maintain the management vision for a particular unit. Patterns and types of use would be somewhat similar to current conditions, but increases in the levels of use would be noticeable at several locations. Additional annual costs for implementation of the preferred alternative are estimated at $585,000. Capital investment costs for construction are estimated at $1.77 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would provide future generations with a variety of opportunities to experience the Denali backcountry while protecting park wildlife and other park resources. The preferred alternative would attain a wide range of beneficial uses of the environment in the form of wilderness recreational opportunity without significantly degrading important park resources. The plan would achieve a reasonable balance between population and resource use that would allow for positive socioeconomic benefits for local communities and opportunities for diverse recreational opportunities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Vegetation, wildlife, wetlands, and the natural soundscape would experience some disturbance in some areas. Some recreationists would be disturbed by the presence of motorized vehicles, particularly snowmobiles. LEGAL MANDATES: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-487).

T2  - BARRY M. GOLDWATER RANGE INTEGRATED NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLAN, YUMA, PIMA, AND MARICOPA COUNTIES, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36349179; 9959-030079_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of an integrated natural resources management plan for the Barry M. Goldwater Range (BMGR) in Yuma, Pima, and Maricopy counties, Arizona is proposed. The 1.7-million-acre BMGR, which lies in southwestern Arizona, is a major US military installation used by the Air Force and the Marine Corps and other aviation components of the U.S. Armed Forces, primarily to train military aircrews to fly air combat missions. To a lesser extent, the range is also used to support some other types of national defense purposes, most of which support or are associated with air combat training. The BMGR has been one of the nation's finest and most productive reservations for training military aircrews in air-to-ground combat since 1941. The BMGR is also nationally significant as a critical component in the largest remaining tract of relatively unfragmented Sonoran Desert in the country. This tract currently encompasses 5,000 square miles and, in addition to the BMGR, includes the adjacent, ecologically linked areas of the Organ Pipe National Monument, Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, and Sonoran Desert National Monument as well as other lands administered by Bureau of Land Management. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. The alternative plans address earth resources, water resources, vegetation resources, wildlife resources, visual resources, transportation requirements, recreational uses, Native American access, non-military land uses, perimeter land uses, and special natural/interest areas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The management plan would help ensure the conservation and rehabilitation of natural resources within the area; promote sustainable, multi-purpose use of the resources therein, including hunting, fishing, trapping, and non-consumptive uses; and promote safety and military security requirements with respect to public access to the area. Tribal rights of local Native Americans would be protected. Like other action alternatives, the proposed action (Alternative C) would address road transport, resource inventories and monitoring, special interest areas, motorized access and unroaded area management, camping and visitor stay limits, recreational services and use supervision, rockhounding, wood cutting, hunting, recreational shooting, utility and transportation corridors, general vegetation, wildlife, wildlife habitat, wildlife waters, special status species, soil and water resources, air resources, visual resources, wildfire management, and premier land use. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Road closures would reduce access to some areas within the BMGR. Continued military use of the area would result in explosion of air-to-surface ordnance, resulting in damage to soils and vegetation, and the associated wildlife habitat, as well as the release of toxic elements into the environment. Military use of the area would also restrict recreational uses and could affect public safe for persons unaware of restrictions. Cultural resource sites, including sites of importance to Native Americans, would also be damaged or disturbed. Noise levels would continue to be high during aircraft operations. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Military Lands Withdrawal Act of 1999 (P.L. 106-65), and Sikes Act (16 U.S.C. 670).

T1  - CLANCY-UNIONVILLE VEGETATION MANIPULATION AND TRAVEL MANAGEMENT PROJECT, HELENA RANGER DISTRICT, HELENA NATIONAL FOREST, LEWIS AND CLARK AND JEFFERSON COUNTIES, MONTANA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF FEBRUARY 2000).
AN  - 36437763; 9953
AB  - PURPOSE: The harvesting of timber and other vegetative treatments and implementation of a travel management plan within the 64,000-acre Clancy-Unionville Implementation Area of the Helena Ranger District, Helena National Forest, Montana are proposed. The project area includes portions of Oro Fino Gulch, Dru Gulch, Grizzly Gulch, Nelson Gulch, Travis Creek, Whiteman Gulch, Little Buffalo Gulch, Go Devil Gulch, Lump Gulch, Roe Gulch, Jackson Creek, Kady Gulch, and Quartz Creek. Most treatments would occur in the Grizzly/Oro Fino/Dry Gulch, Brooklyn Bridge,Sheep Mountain, Park Lake, and Quartz Creek areas. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative B), were considered in the final EIS of February 2000. Two additional action alternatives are considered in this final supplement to the Final EIS. All action alternatives are designed to change vegetation and travel patterns to more desired conditions. Alternative A, the proposed action, was designed to improve overall forest health and sustainability through a combination of silvicultural treatments and prescribed burning. Alternative C was designed to respond to concerns expressed about risks associated with prescribed burning, air quality, and noxious weeds. Alternative D was designed to respond to concerns about wildlife and wildlife habitat. Alternative E was developed by the Clancy-Unionville Citizen Task Force. Alternative F is essentially the October 2000 Forest Service division, which was subsequently remanded on repeal due to insufficient analysis and disclosure of cumulative effects. The cumulative effects and other impacts are addressed in this draft supplement, which includes only changes that have occurred since the issuance of the final EIS, most of which pertain to the newly considered Alternative F. Under Alternative F, the Forest Service would implement prescribed burning on 1,301 acres of grasslands and 733 acres of savannah, 414 acres of forest underburning, and 853 acres of mechanical treatments on savannah units. All prescribed burn treatments would incorporate appropriate pre- and post-herbicide treatment. Timber harvest activities would include 1,577 acres of commercial thinning, 176 acres of shelterwood treatment, 70 acres of seedtree treatment, 31 acres of aspen treatment, and 109 acres of clear-cut. The alternative would require construction of five miles of new temporary road and reconstruction of nine miles of existing road. Approximately 15 miles of existing road would be closed but left in place to allow administrative access for weed management. The Spruce Hills, Brooklyn Bridge, and Lump Gulch areas would be closed to timber harvest activities from October 15th to December 1st to avert possible conflicts with big game hunters. Watershed improvement projects would include road rehabilitation, road stabilization, construction of erosion control features, culvert removal, installation of larger diameter culverts, and revegetation of cut and fill slopes. A non-motorized access system trail would link the Brooklyn Bridge, Whiteman, and Jack Mountain areas, and the Brooklyn Bridge Road would be converted to a non-motorized trail. Another non-motorized trail would be established in the Little Corral Gulch area. The Spruce Hills Road would be open to snowmobiles from December 2nd to May 14th. The present net value of Alternative F is estimated to result in a deficit of $648,000. The benefit-coat ratio is estimated at 0.62. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would provide for healthy native forest and grassland plant communities with a wide variety of native plant species, minimize the threat of large-scale wildfire, insure a variety of wildlife habitats, provide a system of roads and trails to serve the needs of a variety of forest users, produce an array of wood products on a sustainable basis, and maintain or improve water quality and watershed conditions over the short- and long-term. Elk habitat effectiveness and security would be enhanced, as would old-growth forest. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New timber harvest would occur within wildlife corridors. Some old-growth forest would be eliminated, as would certain areas of closed-forest habitat would be converted to open-forest habitat. Potential for spreading of weeds would increase. The potential for impacts to cultural resources sites would increase. Prescribed burning would degrade air quality and aesthetics temporarily. LEGAL MANDATES: National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs, see 99-0029D, Volume 23, Number 1, and 00-0192F, Volume 24, Number 2.

T1  - WINTER USE PLAN FOR THE YELLOWSTONE AND GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARKS AND JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER JR., MEMORIAL PARKWAY, IDAHO, MONTANA, AND WYOMING (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 2000).
AN  - 36445605; 9937
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a winter use management plan for Yellowstone National Park (YNP), Grand Teton National Park (GTNP), and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming is proposed. YNP, encompassing 2.22 million acres, and GTNP, comprising 310,000 acres, form the core of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the last large, nearly intact ecosystem in the northern temperate zone. Seven alternative, including the No Action Alternative (Alternative A), were considered in the final EIS of October 2000. The concept under the preferred alternative (Alternative G) would emphasize clean, quiet access to the parks using the technologies available today. The plan would allow oversnow access on all routes currently available only via snowcoach managed by the National Park Service. Other key changes in recreational opportunities would include elimination of winter plowing on the route connecting Colter Bay to Flagg Ranch, designating Flagg Ranch as a destination to be accessed via oversnow transport, elimination of all winter motorized use on Jackson Lake, prohibition of backcountry use within important big horn sheep winter habitat, and implementation of an information program in cooperation with local communities. The alternative would address the full range of issues regarding safety, natural resource impacts, and visitor experience and access. Snowbile users would be provided with means of accessing the park by a different mode of transport. Noise levels for any activity would be limited to no more than 75 decibels in the short-term and no more than 70 decibels eventually. Late-night oversnow travel would be prohibited. A total of 16 miles of new nonmotorized trail would be established. This final supplement to the final EIS evaluates four alternatives to the previous decision, which is incorporated in the supplement as the current management or No Action Alternative (Alternative 1a). Alternative 1b would implement the same measures as Alternative 1a, but implementation would be delayed for one year. Alternative 2 would maintain snowmobile use on all existing roads, but at a reduced level in three years from the West Entrance and potentially increased levels from other entrances, but new technology would be used to reduce air pollutant emissions and noise from snowmobiles. Alternative 3 would allow snowmobiles on all major, but not all, snow roads, using the same sort of new technology as under Alternative 2 and enforcing reduced use levels in some areas. Alternative 4, which is the preferred alternative, would involve adoption of an adaptive management strategy to mitigatet impacts to visitor experience and access, wildlife, air quality, and noise-sensitive receptors, while allowing snowmobile access on all major oversnow routes. Initial costs of implementing the preferred alternative are estimated at $2.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would ensure that visitors have a range of quality winter experiences and settings at their disposal, while improving visitor safety significantly. closure of bighorn sheep areas could benefit wolverines, and effects related to groomed surfaces would decrease in the GTNP, benefiting martens. Sound levels in the park would generally decrease. Recreational experiences would be offered in appropriate settings, preventing significant adverse impacts to sensitive natural, cultural, and recreational resources. Winter recreation would complement the unique aspects of each landscape within the ecosystem. Visitors would be informed regarding safe participation in winter use activities that would not damage resources. Snowmobile noise and air and water pollutant emissions would be minimized, and damage to wetlands and other habitat by oversnow vehicles would decline significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The plan would result in minor negative effects on local and state economies and major adverse impacts to small communities within the Greater Yellowstone Area. Nonmarket visitation would decline due to access restrictions, particularly in the areas associated with Grassy Lake Road and Jackson Lake would reduce visitation to these area. Use of snowcoaches could continue to displace lynx as routes pass through linx habitat, but effects of snowcoaches would be less than those of snowmobiles. Earlier opening dates would increase the potential for conflicts between grizzly bear and visitors. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11644 and 11989, General Authorities Act (16 U.S.C. 1a(1)-1a(8)), and National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (16 U.S.C. 1, 2-4).

T1  - JACK MORROW HILLS COORDINATED ACTIVITY PLAN, SWEETWATER, FREMONT, AND SUBLETTE COUNTIES, WYOMING (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JUNE 2000).
AN  - 16359222; 9932
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a coordinated activity plan for the Jack Morrow Hills area, Sweetwater, Fremont, and Sublette counties, Wyoming is proposed. The area contains 574,800 acres of federal land and federal mineral estate in the southwestern portion of the state. The area encompasses the Steamboat Mountain, Greater Sand Dunes, the White Mountain Petroglyphs, the Oregon Buttes Areas of Environmental Concern (ACECs); a portion of the South Pass Historic Landscape ACEC; the Oregon Buttes; the Honeycomb Buttes, Greater Sand Dunes, Buffalo Hump, Whitehorse Creek, South Pinnacles, the Alkali Draw wilderness study areas; and three special recreation management areas (Greater Sand Dunes, Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, and the Oregon/Mormon Pioneer/Pony Express/California National Historic Trails). The plan would provide management direction to prevent or address conflicts among potential development of energy resources, recreational activities and facilities, wildlife and wildlife habitat, and provide more specific management direction for other land and resources uses, including livestock grazing and important wildlife habitat. Specific planning criteria include those related to hydrocarbon leasing and development, locatable minerals, mitigation guidelines, rangelands, livestock grazing management, coal leasing, wilderness study area management, ACECs, wild horse management, and wild and scenic rivers. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would continue the current management regime, were considered in the draft EIS of June 2000. This supplemental draft EIS considers five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and a preferred alternative. The action alternatives would provide management direction for certain resources (e.g., desert elk and other big game habitat, unique sand dune-mountain shrub habitat, unstabilized sand dunes and stabilized sand dunes, and cultural sites) and allow leasing and development of fluids and other energy resources, recreational activities, grazing practices, and other activities at varying levels. The preferred alternative, a combination of all other alternatives, would place greater emphasis than at present on protection of the natural environment. The alternative would provide for staged oil and gas leasing and related development. Portions of the planning area would be available for leasing consideration. Prior to releasing other areas for oil and gas development, these areas would be withheld from leasing consideration until assurance that adequate big game habitat would be retained. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would help ensure the appropriate balance among resource values and uses, particularly with respect to grazing, wildlife habitat, recreation, and energy resources developments. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Management directions would have impacts on cultural resources, paleontological resources, fire management, land use, livestock grazing, mineral leasing, off-road vehicle use, other recreational uses, the socioeconomic status of area residents, special status species, and vegetation and wetland and other riparian resources. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 00-0373D, Volume 24, Number 4.

AN  - 36351707; 9928-030050_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area of southeastern Kentucky and northeastern Tennessee is proposed. The National Area is located approximately 70 highway miles north and west of Knoxville in portions of Fentress, Scott, Pickett, and Morgan counties, Tennessee and McCreary County, Kentucky. The area encompasses 125,000 acres of rugged terrain on the Cumberland Plateau. The Big South Fork River begins within the National Area at the confluence of the New River and the clear Fork and flows approximately 49 miles northward through the National Area. The river is free-flowing for approximately 37 miles to the point at which it is affected by the headwaters for Lake Cumberland. The area provides a variety of readily available natural and cultural features, including the river, canyon rim views, and historic sites. A No Action Alternative and two alternative action concepts were considered in the draft EIS of February 2000. Alternative A would provide an overall rustic retreat with minimal facilities except in selected areas. Alternative B would provide, around a primitive core, a variety of opportunities for resource-based recreation and convenient facilities. Under either alternative, a primitive recreation management unit would be created in the river gorge, which occupies less than half of the National Area. Trails and a trail-accessible rustic lodge would constitute the only recreational facilities in the primitive recreation management unit. A backwoods recreation management unit would be created for approximately 75 percent of the plateau under Alternative A and for 65 percent of the plateau under Alternative B; this unit would feature minimal conveniences and facilities but would include roads, typically unpaved, for visitor use. An enhanced recreation management unit would be established for approximately 20 percent of the plateau under Alternative A and for approximately 30 percent of the plateau under Alternative B; this unit would feature a moderate level of conveniences and facilities, including improved campgrounds, paved roads, and higher density trail systems. This draft supplemental EIS considers additional information on the area, particularly information regarding resources, roads, and trails. An additional alternative (Alternative D), which is the currently preferred alternative, is also introduced. The previous alternatives presented only a general framework, using three different zone types, two of where were applies in different areas. The new alternative uses more zones in more areas in order to provide more strategic management direction for resources and visitor use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Compared to current conditions, Alternative A would provide more focused resource management and protection. The visitor experience would be oriented to one that is more rustic while allowing several areas to provide facilities, including those present at this date. Long-term goals would be more clearly stated, yielding greater understanding of the management of the area and its role in the region. Alternative B would provide many of the same benefits as Alternative A through it would accommodate a higher long-term development and use potential. Park visitation and employment would continue to enhance the local economy. The newly introduced alternative would provide for additional facilities in the southwest portion of the area, where lands have been recently acquired and designated facilities do not exist; Otherwise, Alternative D would largely have the same beneficial impacts as Alternatives A and B. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Oil and gas production in the region outside the area would continue to create a potential for disruption of natural systems within the area. Alternatives B and D would allow for more alteration to the naturalness of the area's natural system than Alternative A. Site development under either alternative would affect soils and vegetation and associated wildlife habitat and contribute to sedimentation of receiving waters. LEGAL MANDATES: Flood Control Act of 1968 (P.L. 90-483) and National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (PL Chapter 408, 39 Stat 535). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 00-0181D, Volume 24, Number 2.

T1  - RURAL LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, CUYAHOGA VALLEY NATIONAL PARK, OHIO. [Part 1 of 1]
T2  - RURAL LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, CUYAHOGA VALLEY NATIONAL PARK, OHIO.
AN  - 36347447; 9927-030049_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to preserve the rural landscape in the 33,000-acre Cuyahoga Valley National Park of Ohio is proposed. The park lies along 22 miles of the Cuyahoga River. The rural landscape is one aspect of the historic and scenic values of the park. Throughout the park's history, efforts to preserve the rural landscape have been sporadic; there has never been a comprehensive program to manage the landscape. As a result, many of the park's rural landscape resources have been lost. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 2), the rural landscape would be managed largely by issuing long-term leases to private individuals for the purpose of conducting sustainable agricultural activities and revitalizing a "sense of place" in the valley. Lands and structures would be leased together, at a rate of two to three farms per year for 10 years, for agricultural use for periods of up to 60 years. Agricultural open space associated with these farmsteads and not currently managed would be cleared by mowing and/or brushhogging in preparation for farming activities over the next decade. Farmers leasing land would be required submit annual farm operating plans for approval. The plans would describe proposed far activities such as new construction, crop and livestock selection, farming practices, and pesticide, fertilizer, and water use. Land management and day-to-day maintenance of farm buildings would largely be the responsibility of the lessee. Farmers would be expected to use the common marketing methods used in sustainable farming. Additionally, some farmers might maintain roadside stands, attend weekly farmers markets, deliver directly to customers, or have customers pick up produce at their farms. The net cost of the preferred alternative for the first 20 years of implementation is estimated at $22.3 million. Thereafter, annual costs are estimated at $369,822. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of a comprehensive landscape preservation plan would protect and revitalize the cultural resources of the park, Historical structures would be rehabilitated regularly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Pesticide use in the park would increase as more land was put into active economically-based production, but these pesticides would largely be biological control measures. The increase in fencing in the area would be substantial. Some forested areas, and the associated wildlife habitat, would be displaced. Due to population increases, some local schools and other public institutions could experience stress. LEGAL MANDATES: Public Law 93-555.

T1  - Helping to Combat Chronic Wasting Disease
AN  - 14655961; 10643005
AB  - Chronic wasting disease (CWD), which affects the nervous system and results in brain lesions, has impacted mule deer, white-tailed deer, and elk in the US. USGS is collaborating with federal, state, and private partners to address CWD issues. Joint efforts have helped to develop coordinated plans, establish diagnostic capabilities, and model and assess effects of the disease. Progress in these fields is noted, with emphasis on national planning and surveillance. Ongoing research will focus on CWD transmission mechanisms and monitoring changes in disease prevalence in established disease areas.

T1  - SOUTH POWDER RIVER BASIN COAL, CAMPBELL AND CONVERSE COUNTIES, WYOMING. [Part 2 of 3]
T2  - SOUTH POWDER RIVER BASIN COAL, CAMPBELL AND CONVERSE COUNTIES, WYOMING.
AN  - 36380229; 9924-030046_0002
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) 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; 2) the Little Thunder tract, as applied for by Ark Land Company, which encompasses 3,449 acres containing 479 million tons of federal coal; 3) the West Roundup tract, as applied for by Triton Coal Company LLC, which encompasses 1,871 acres containing 173 million tons of federal coal; 4) 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 Draft 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.).

T2  - WILLISTON BASIN INTERSTATE PIPELINE COMPANY, GRASSLANDS PIPELINE PROJECT, MONTANA, NORTH DAKOTA, AND WYOMING.
AN  - 36379413; 9922-030044_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a certificate of public convenience and necessity and other environmental permits for the construction and operation of an interstate natural gas pipeline system from northeastern Wyoming to southwester North Dakota is proposed. The applicant (Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company) proposes to construct 253 miles of new and looped pipeline, provide for approximately 5,380 horsepower (hp) of additional compression at one new and one existing compressor station, and install other associated ancillary facilities in various locations in Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota. The project would involve the construction 223 miles of 16-inch-diameter pipeline from a point near Belle Creek Montana to an interconnection with Northern Border Pipeline Company's system near Maning, North, Dakota; construction of 28 miles of 16-inch-diameter looping along the existing eight-inch-diameter Bitter Creek supply lateral pipeline in Campbell County, Wyoming; installation of a 4,180-hp compressor at the existing Cabin Creek Compressor Station in Fallon County, Montana; construction of 0.9 mile of 12-inch-diameter lateral pipeline in Fallon County; installation of various metering and pressure-regulating facilities in the three-state area; increasing the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) for 28 miles of the existing eight-inch-diameter Bitter Creek supply lateral in Campbell County; increasing the MAOP for 40 miles of the existing eight-inch-diameter Recluse-Belle Creek supply lateral pipeline in Campbell County and in Powder River and Carter counties, Montana; and construction of certain miscellaneous facilities, including five metering facilities, 14 mainline block valves, eight pig launcher/receiver sites, four cathodic protection units, and two pressure regulators. Cost of the project is estimated at $579 million. In addition to the proposed project, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative and an alternative that would postpone the proposed action. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The system would transport 80 million cubic feet of natural gas per day from the Powder River Basin to the applicant's storage facilities in Montana and to Northern Border Pipeline Company's system in North Dakota, helping to meet the regional demand for natural gas for domestic and industrial purposes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would affect 4,140 acres of land, while operation of the pipeline system would displace 1,530 acres, including 11 acres required for the operation of aboveground facilities. Vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat would be disturbed and/or displaced. The pipelines would traverse 318 intermittent waterbodies and nine perennial waterbodies; one of the latter (the Little Missouri River) is considered a major waterbody. The system would traverse 174 wetlands, disturbing 23 acres of wetlands and riparian areas. Two federally listed threatened species (Ute ladies'-tresses orchid and bald eaqle), one candidate species for federal protection (mountain plover), one federally listed endangered species (black-footed ferret), and two species that are candidates for listing (black-tailed prairie dog and Dakota skipper) could occur in the project area. Based on inventories of culturally sensitive sites over 95 percent of the project route, it has been concluded that 87 cultural resource sites could be affected; 59 of these sites could be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, amendments (P.L. 94-377), National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.), and Natural Gas Act, as amended (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)).

The project would involve the construction 223 miles of 16-inch-diameter pipeline from a point near Belle Creek Montana to an interconnection with Northern Border Pipeline Company's system near Maning, North, Dakota; construction of 28 miles of 16-inch-diameter looping along the existing eight-inch-diameter Bitter Creek supply lateral pipeline in Campbell County, Wyoming; installation of a 4,180-hp compressor at the existing Cabin Creek Compressor Station in Fallon County, Montana; construction of 0.9 mile of 12-inch-diameter lateral pipeline in Fallon County; installation of various metering and pressure-regulating facilities in the three-state area; increasing the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) for 28 miles of the existing eight-inch-diameter Bitter Creek supply lateral in Campbell County; increasing the MAOP for 40 miles of the existing eight-inch-diameter Recluse-Belle Creek supply lateral pipeline in Campbell County and in Powder River and Carter counties, Montana; and construction of certain miscellaneous facilities, including five metering facilities, 14 mainline block valves, eight pig launcher/receiver sites, four cathodic protection units, and two pressure regulators. Cost of the project is estimated at $579 million. In addition to the proposed project, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative and an alternative that would postpone the proposed action. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The system would transport 80 million cubic feet of natural gas per day from the Powder River Basin to the applicant's storage facilities in Montana and to Northern Border Pipeline Company's system in North Dakota, helping to meet the regional demand for natural gas for domestic and industrial purposes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would affect 4,140 acres of land, while operation of the pipeline system would displace 1,530 acres, including 11 acres required for the operation of aboveground facilities. Vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat would be disturbed and/or displaced. The pipelines would traverse 318 intermittent waterbodies and nine perennial waterbodies; one of the latter (the Little Missouri River) is considered a major waterbody. The system would traverse 174 wetlands, disturbing 23 acres of wetlands and riparian areas. Two federally listed threatened species (Ute ladies'-tresses orchid and bald eaqle), one candidate species for federal protection (mountain plover), one federally listed endangered species (black-footed ferret), and two species that are candidates for listing (black-tailed prairie dog and Dakota skipper) could occur in the project area. Based on inventories of culturally sensitive sites over 95 percent of the project route, it has been concluded that 87 cultural resource sites could be affected; 59 of these sites could be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, amendments (P.L. 94-377), National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.), and Natural Gas Act, as amended (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)).

AB  - PURPOSE: Continuation and expansion of gold mining and processing operations at the Goldstrike Mine, operated by Barrick Goldstrike Mines Inc., in Eureka and Elko counties, Nevada was proposed in the final EIS of June 1991. The resulting facilities and activities are located on lands administered by the Elko Resource Area of the Bureau of Land Management and on privately owned lands. This final supplement to the final EIS has two purposes, specifically, (1) to reanalyze the effects of dewatering for the mine, since the dewatering rates and total volume dewatered have been much greater than predicted in the original EIS and (2) to analyze the impacts of a proposed additional water pipeline intended to increase the flexibility of Barrick's water management operations. In general, major components of the expanded mining operations proposed in the 1991 EIS included the Betze Pit, Extended South waste rock disposal area, extended dewatering facilities, North Block heap leach facility, mill expansion, North Block tailings impoundment, two ore stockpiles, topsoil stockpiles, and haul roads and pipeline corridors. The project proposed in 1991 involved expansion of the existing open-pit mine to permit recovery of ore that contains approximately 15.1 million ounces of gold. Mining and processing operations was expanded to allow for recovery of both oxide and sulfide ore from the Betze deposit. The project also involved expansion of Barrick's existing processing facilities to process the ore mined from that deposit. Mine development involved expansion of the existing Post Pit to form the Betze Pit. Gold was to be mined and processed over the estimated 20-year operational life of the Betze Project. Expansion of the mining operations required additional waste rock disposal areas and ore stockpiles and expansion of existing mine dewatering facilities. The expansion of heap leaching operations required a new heap leach pad, solution collection ponds, and gold recovery facilities to allow leaching of approximately 22.0 million tons of the 45.3 million tons of lower grade oxide ore. The remaining ore is being hauled to the existing AA Block leach pads for processing. The existing carbon stripping, electrowinning, and refining facility, located on the AA Block, is used to process the gold-loaded carbon from both existing and proposed leach facilities. Expansion of the mill facilities included an increase in milling capacity from 6,000 tons per day to approximately 13,000 tons per day, construction of five additional autoclaves, expansion of the oxygen plant, and construction of an additional tailings impoundment. The infrastructure at the mine, including equipment fleets, ancillary facilities, and personnel, has been increased to accommodate the proposed expansion. In addition, Barrick subsequently constructed a water treatment plant and a buried pipeline and open conveyance system to discharge up to 70,000 gallons per minute to the Humboldt River. As mentioned, this final supplemental EIS addresses an application for construction of a second pipeline across public domain to release water from the mine into the Humboldt River. In addition to the proposed action, a No Action Alternative is also considered. All project disturbances are subject to reclamation activities, involving grading, placement of topsoil, and revegetation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing additional gold for domestic consumption, gold from the mine could become part of the increasingly important export value of gold to foreign countries from the United States. The second pipeline would improve the efficiency of Barrick's water distribution system. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mine dewatering and localized management activities resulted in over 1,500 feet of drawdown of the water table in the vicinity of the mine as of the end of 1998. The area with at least 10 feet of drawdown extends approximately 15 miles northwest-southeast and five miles northeast-southwest. This has affected at least 67 springs. and 64 wells. Drawdown could affect 137 acres of the 662 acres of riparian vegetation located within the 10-foot drawdown area. Mine dewatering could reduce the amount and extent of surface water and associated riparian wildlife habitat, including habitat for federally protected species, as well as water levels or flows in some springs and perennial reaches within the Boulder Creek and upper Antelope Creek drainages. Reductions in flows could affect livestock grazing operations. Construction of the second pipeline could result in the loss of up to 18 acres of big sagebrush /grassland habitat for 10 to 15 years, and soil disturbance would create the possibility for intrusion by invasive plant species. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and General Mining Law of 1872, as amended (30 U.S.C. 21 et seq.).

AB  - PURPOSE: Extended mining and processing of gold ore at the Goldstrike Mine, operated by Barrick Goldstrike Mines Inc., in Eureka and Elko counties, Nevada is proposed in this supplement to the final EIS of June 1991 on the development of the mine. The mine is located in north-central Nevada, approximately 25 miles northwest of Carlin. The proposed action would include expansion of the existing Betze Pit, construction of the Clydesdale Waste Rock Facility and haul Road, construction of the Goldstrike No. 3 Tailings Facility, and extension of operations at the mine for another four years, with four additional years being required for site closure and reclamation. The scheme would use some of the existing primary facilities, including ore processing facilities and ancillary support facilities. The resulting facilities and activities are located on lands administered by the Elko Resource Area of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and on privately owned lands. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS addresses, a No Action Alternative And the Bazza Waste Rock Alternative, Under the No Action Alternative, the applicant would continue to recover gold at t he existing facilities as currently authorized by the BLM. Under the Bazza Alternative, the Clydesdale Waste Rock Facility and haul Road would not be constructed; the existing Bazza Facility would continue to be used and not fully reclaimed until 2016. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Mine life would be extended another four years through 2015. In addition to providing additional gold for domestic consumption, gold from the mine could become part of the increasingly important export value of gold to foreign countries from the United States. Extension of the mine life would provide for extended employment for 1,600 workers and otherwise contribute to the local economy. Annual tax revenues anticipated from the proposed action would include $11.4 million from net proceeds taxes, $21.6 million from sales and use taxes, $600,000 from business activity tax, and $3.4 million from ad valorem property taxes for the state and counties. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Proposed actions would result in disturbance for 1,180 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, of which 494 are public lands administered by BLM and 686 acres of private land. Approximately 943 acres of low-density mule deer range and bird habitat consisting primarily of sagebrush shrubland; 101 acres of this disturbed area would be associated with pit expansion and would not be reclaimed. Three federally protected bird species would be affected. The expanded mine would result in the generation and disposal of 315 million tons of waste rock and 12.44 million tons of tailings, the removal of 500,000 tons of Carlin Formation material suitable for reclamation use, and the extraction of 12.44 million tons of ore. Mined ore would be permanently removed from existing reserves. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and General Mining Law of 1872, as amended (30 U.S.C. 21 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs, see 91-0019D, Volume 15, Number 1 and 91-0211F, Volume 15, Number 3, respectively.

T1  - LAKEVIEW RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, LAKE AND HARNEY COUNTIES, OREGON.
AN  - 36437689; 9917
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for the 3.2-million-acre Lakeview resource planning area in southeastern Oregon is proposed. The area, which is located in Lake and western Harney counties, is bordered on the east by the Burns District; on the south by the Modoc National Forest, Sheldon National Antelope Refuge, and the Surprise Field Office in Nevada and California; on the west by the Fremont and Dechutes national forests; and on the north by the Prineville District. Major issues identified during scoping include those associated with management of special management areas, management of riparian and wetland areas, management of upland habitats, management of recreation in the resource area, and support for local Native American tribes and communities. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would continue the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative D) would balance a high level of natural resource protection and ecological restoration against a significant level of commodity production. Most importantly, The plan would address the management of four existing areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs), as well as designation and management of 12 additional proposed ACECs, and the suitability of national wild, scenic, and recreational designations for three stream segments totaling 29 miles determined to be eligible for such designations under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. Other issues addressed would include shrub steppe vegetation, riparian/wetland vegetation, forest and woodland resources, special status plants, noxious weeds and undesirable invaders, soils, water resources and watershed health, fish and aquatic habitat, wildlife and wildlife habitat, special status animal species, livestock grazing, wild horses, wilderness values, cultural and paleontological resources, air quality, fire management, recreation resource use, off-highway vehicles, visual resources, energy and mineral estate development, lands and realty, and roads and other modes of transportation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would ensure the long-term sustainability of a healthy and productive landscape. The designation and/or management of ACECs would insure the protection of valuable and, in some cases, unique natural resources. Mineral and timber production would contribute to the local, regional, and national economies, and livestock grazing would contribute to the local economy. Fire management would prevent the buildup of fuels that could result in wildland fires and help restore the natural fire regime. Cultural, paleontological and, recreational resources would be preserved and protected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mineral and timber production would disturb and/or displace vegetation and soils and result in erosion and sedimentation of receiving streams. Grazing would also result in erosion and damage to vegetation and wetland areas. Any development activity could disturb as yet unidentified cultural and paleontological resource sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968 (16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 02-0041D, Volume 26, Number 1.

T1  - SCHULTZ-HANFORD AREA TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, WASHINGTON. [Part 38 of 51]
T2  - SCHULTZ-HANFORD AREA TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 36354278; 9920-030042_0038
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 500-kilovolt transmission line in central Washington is proposed by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). The project would increase transmission system capacity north of Hanford. Since the mid-1990's, the transmission lines in central Washington have grown increasingly constrained. During spring and early summer months, the amount of power that needs to move through this area has exceeded the carrying capacity of the existing transmission lines. Not having enough transmission capacity can compromise safety and decrease transmission reliability. Four construction alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final EIS. Each construction alternative begins at BPA's Schultz Substation approximately nine miles north of Ellensburg. The alternatives terminate in northern Benton County at one of two locations, namely, BPA's Hanford Substation or a new substation (Wautoma Substation) just east of the Benton REA Blackrock Substation. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would extend approximately 67 miles and terminate at the Wautoma Substation. Approximately 27 miles of the route would directly parallel an existing transmission line, with approximately eight of those miles being a rebuild of the existing line to double-circuit to hold both the existing and new transmission lines; this would reduce rights-of-way impacts and the need for new access roads through agricultural land and rangeland. New rights-of-way would be 150 feet wide throughout most of the corridor. New roads would be located within the right-of-way wherever possible. Some additions and modifications would occur at the Schultz Substation. The new Wautoma Substation would be placed two miles south of Highway 24 at the intersection of the new transmission line and the Hanford-Ostrander 500-kV and Hanford-John Day 500-kV lines. The new transmission system would be integrated into the BPA communications system. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new transmission line would allow BPA to maintain transmission system reliability, optimize transmission system usage, minimize environmental impacts and costs, and meet a crucial system capacity deadlines in the area set for late 2004. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative could affect 28 wetlands and would require placement of one structure within the Columbia River floodplain and construction of a new access road within the Caribou Creek floodplain. Habitat for Umtanum wild buckwheat, Ute ladies' tresses, northern wormwood, basalt daisy, and several BLM sensitive species. Two state-designated high-quality plant communities would be impacted. Moderately disturbed shrub-steppe habitat would also be disturbed. Ten fish-bearing streams would be traversed. The new line would affect residential housing and quarry activities and traverse areas used for military exercises, farming, and the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge. The line would also mar visual aesthetics in areas traversed, including areas used by recreationists. A total of 36 sensitive archaeological areas could be affected.

T1  - SCHULTZ-HANFORD AREA TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, WASHINGTON. [Part 5 of 51]
T2  - SCHULTZ-HANFORD AREA TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 36350537; 9920-030042_0005
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 500-kilovolt transmission line in central Washington is proposed by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). The project would increase transmission system capacity north of Hanford. Since the mid-1990's, the transmission lines in central Washington have grown increasingly constrained. During spring and early summer months, the amount of power that needs to move through this area has exceeded the carrying capacity of the existing transmission lines. Not having enough transmission capacity can compromise safety and decrease transmission reliability. Four construction alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final EIS. Each construction alternative begins at BPA's Schultz Substation approximately nine miles north of Ellensburg. The alternatives terminate in northern Benton County at one of two locations, namely, BPA's Hanford Substation or a new substation (Wautoma Substation) just east of the Benton REA Blackrock Substation. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would extend approximately 67 miles and terminate at the Wautoma Substation. Approximately 27 miles of the route would directly parallel an existing transmission line, with approximately eight of those miles being a rebuild of the existing line to double-circuit to hold both the existing and new transmission lines; this would reduce rights-of-way impacts and the need for new access roads through agricultural land and rangeland. New rights-of-way would be 150 feet wide throughout most of the corridor. New roads would be located within the right-of-way wherever possible. Some additions and modifications would occur at the Schultz Substation. The new Wautoma Substation would be placed two miles south of Highway 24 at the intersection of the new transmission line and the Hanford-Ostrander 500-kV and Hanford-John Day 500-kV lines. The new transmission system would be integrated into the BPA communications system. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new transmission line would allow BPA to maintain transmission system reliability, optimize transmission system usage, minimize environmental impacts and costs, and meet a crucial system capacity deadlines in the area set for late 2004. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative could affect 28 wetlands and would require placement of one structure within the Columbia River floodplain and construction of a new access road within the Caribou Creek floodplain. Habitat for Umtanum wild buckwheat, Ute ladies' tresses, northern wormwood, basalt daisy, and several BLM sensitive species. Two state-designated high-quality plant communities would be impacted. Moderately disturbed shrub-steppe habitat would also be disturbed. Ten fish-bearing streams would be traversed. The new line would affect residential housing and quarry activities and traverse areas used for military exercises, farming, and the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge. The line would also mar visual aesthetics in areas traversed, including areas used by recreationists. A total of 36 sensitive archaeological areas could be affected.

T1  - SCHULTZ-HANFORD AREA TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, WASHINGTON. [Part 28 of 51]
T2  - SCHULTZ-HANFORD AREA TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 36349693; 9920-030042_0028
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 500-kilovolt transmission line in central Washington is proposed by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). The project would increase transmission system capacity north of Hanford. Since the mid-1990's, the transmission lines in central Washington have grown increasingly constrained. During spring and early summer months, the amount of power that needs to move through this area has exceeded the carrying capacity of the existing transmission lines. Not having enough transmission capacity can compromise safety and decrease transmission reliability. Four construction alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final EIS. Each construction alternative begins at BPA's Schultz Substation approximately nine miles north of Ellensburg. The alternatives terminate in northern Benton County at one of two locations, namely, BPA's Hanford Substation or a new substation (Wautoma Substation) just east of the Benton REA Blackrock Substation. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would extend approximately 67 miles and terminate at the Wautoma Substation. Approximately 27 miles of the route would directly parallel an existing transmission line, with approximately eight of those miles being a rebuild of the existing line to double-circuit to hold both the existing and new transmission lines; this would reduce rights-of-way impacts and the need for new access roads through agricultural land and rangeland. New rights-of-way would be 150 feet wide throughout most of the corridor. New roads would be located within the right-of-way wherever possible. Some additions and modifications would occur at the Schultz Substation. The new Wautoma Substation would be placed two miles south of Highway 24 at the intersection of the new transmission line and the Hanford-Ostrander 500-kV and Hanford-John Day 500-kV lines. The new transmission system would be integrated into the BPA communications system. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new transmission line would allow BPA to maintain transmission system reliability, optimize transmission system usage, minimize environmental impacts and costs, and meet a crucial system capacity deadlines in the area set for late 2004. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative could affect 28 wetlands and would require placement of one structure within the Columbia River floodplain and construction of a new access road within the Caribou Creek floodplain. Habitat for Umtanum wild buckwheat, Ute ladies' tresses, northern wormwood, basalt daisy, and several BLM sensitive species. Two state-designated high-quality plant communities would be impacted. Moderately disturbed shrub-steppe habitat would also be disturbed. Ten fish-bearing streams would be traversed. The new line would affect residential housing and quarry activities and traverse areas used for military exercises, farming, and the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge. The line would also mar visual aesthetics in areas traversed, including areas used by recreationists. A total of 36 sensitive archaeological areas could be affected.

T1  - SCHULTZ-HANFORD AREA TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, WASHINGTON. [Part 36 of 51]
T2  - SCHULTZ-HANFORD AREA TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 36347205; 9920-030042_0036
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 500-kilovolt transmission line in central Washington is proposed by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). The project would increase transmission system capacity north of Hanford. Since the mid-1990's, the transmission lines in central Washington have grown increasingly constrained. During spring and early summer months, the amount of power that needs to move through this area has exceeded the carrying capacity of the existing transmission lines. Not having enough transmission capacity can compromise safety and decrease transmission reliability. Four construction alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final EIS. Each construction alternative begins at BPA's Schultz Substation approximately nine miles north of Ellensburg. The alternatives terminate in northern Benton County at one of two locations, namely, BPA's Hanford Substation or a new substation (Wautoma Substation) just east of the Benton REA Blackrock Substation. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would extend approximately 67 miles and terminate at the Wautoma Substation. Approximately 27 miles of the route would directly parallel an existing transmission line, with approximately eight of those miles being a rebuild of the existing line to double-circuit to hold both the existing and new transmission lines; this would reduce rights-of-way impacts and the need for new access roads through agricultural land and rangeland. New rights-of-way would be 150 feet wide throughout most of the corridor. New roads would be located within the right-of-way wherever possible. Some additions and modifications would occur at the Schultz Substation. The new Wautoma Substation would be placed two miles south of Highway 24 at the intersection of the new transmission line and the Hanford-Ostrander 500-kV and Hanford-John Day 500-kV lines. The new transmission system would be integrated into the BPA communications system. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new transmission line would allow BPA to maintain transmission system reliability, optimize transmission system usage, minimize environmental impacts and costs, and meet a crucial system capacity deadlines in the area set for late 2004. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative could affect 28 wetlands and would require placement of one structure within the Columbia River floodplain and construction of a new access road within the Caribou Creek floodplain. Habitat for Umtanum wild buckwheat, Ute ladies' tresses, northern wormwood, basalt daisy, and several BLM sensitive species. Two state-designated high-quality plant communities would be impacted. Moderately disturbed shrub-steppe habitat would also be disturbed. Ten fish-bearing streams would be traversed. The new line would affect residential housing and quarry activities and traverse areas used for military exercises, farming, and the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge. The line would also mar visual aesthetics in areas traversed, including areas used by recreationists. A total of 36 sensitive archaeological areas could be affected.

T1  - SCHULTZ-HANFORD AREA TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, WASHINGTON. [Part 37 of 51]
T2  - SCHULTZ-HANFORD AREA TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 36346670; 9920-030042_0037
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 500-kilovolt transmission line in central Washington is proposed by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). The project would increase transmission system capacity north of Hanford. Since the mid-1990's, the transmission lines in central Washington have grown increasingly constrained. During spring and early summer months, the amount of power that needs to move through this area has exceeded the carrying capacity of the existing transmission lines. Not having enough transmission capacity can compromise safety and decrease transmission reliability. Four construction alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final EIS. Each construction alternative begins at BPA's Schultz Substation approximately nine miles north of Ellensburg. The alternatives terminate in northern Benton County at one of two locations, namely, BPA's Hanford Substation or a new substation (Wautoma Substation) just east of the Benton REA Blackrock Substation. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would extend approximately 67 miles and terminate at the Wautoma Substation. Approximately 27 miles of the route would directly parallel an existing transmission line, with approximately eight of those miles being a rebuild of the existing line to double-circuit to hold both the existing and new transmission lines; this would reduce rights-of-way impacts and the need for new access roads through agricultural land and rangeland. New rights-of-way would be 150 feet wide throughout most of the corridor. New roads would be located within the right-of-way wherever possible. Some additions and modifications would occur at the Schultz Substation. The new Wautoma Substation would be placed two miles south of Highway 24 at the intersection of the new transmission line and the Hanford-Ostrander 500-kV and Hanford-John Day 500-kV lines. The new transmission system would be integrated into the BPA communications system. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new transmission line would allow BPA to maintain transmission system reliability, optimize transmission system usage, minimize environmental impacts and costs, and meet a crucial system capacity deadlines in the area set for late 2004. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative could affect 28 wetlands and would require placement of one structure within the Columbia River floodplain and construction of a new access road within the Caribou Creek floodplain. Habitat for Umtanum wild buckwheat, Ute ladies' tresses, northern wormwood, basalt daisy, and several BLM sensitive species. Two state-designated high-quality plant communities would be impacted. Moderately disturbed shrub-steppe habitat would also be disturbed. Ten fish-bearing streams would be traversed. The new line would affect residential housing and quarry activities and traverse areas used for military exercises, farming, and the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge. The line would also mar visual aesthetics in areas traversed, including areas used by recreationists. A total of 36 sensitive archaeological areas could be affected.

T1  - SCHULTZ-HANFORD AREA TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, WASHINGTON. [Part 45 of 51]
T2  - SCHULTZ-HANFORD AREA TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 36346267; 9920-030042_0045
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 500-kilovolt transmission line in central Washington is proposed by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). The project would increase transmission system capacity north of Hanford. Since the mid-1990's, the transmission lines in central Washington have grown increasingly constrained. During spring and early summer months, the amount of power that needs to move through this area has exceeded the carrying capacity of the existing transmission lines. Not having enough transmission capacity can compromise safety and decrease transmission reliability. Four construction alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final EIS. Each construction alternative begins at BPA's Schultz Substation approximately nine miles north of Ellensburg. The alternatives terminate in northern Benton County at one of two locations, namely, BPA's Hanford Substation or a new substation (Wautoma Substation) just east of the Benton REA Blackrock Substation. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would extend approximately 67 miles and terminate at the Wautoma Substation. Approximately 27 miles of the route would directly parallel an existing transmission line, with approximately eight of those miles being a rebuild of the existing line to double-circuit to hold both the existing and new transmission lines; this would reduce rights-of-way impacts and the need for new access roads through agricultural land and rangeland. New rights-of-way would be 150 feet wide throughout most of the corridor. New roads would be located within the right-of-way wherever possible. Some additions and modifications would occur at the Schultz Substation. The new Wautoma Substation would be placed two miles south of Highway 24 at the intersection of the new transmission line and the Hanford-Ostrander 500-kV and Hanford-John Day 500-kV lines. The new transmission system would be integrated into the BPA communications system. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new transmission line would allow BPA to maintain transmission system reliability, optimize transmission system usage, minimize environmental impacts and costs, and meet a crucial system capacity deadlines in the area set for late 2004. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative could affect 28 wetlands and would require placement of one structure within the Columbia River floodplain and construction of a new access road within the Caribou Creek floodplain. Habitat for Umtanum wild buckwheat, Ute ladies' tresses, northern wormwood, basalt daisy, and several BLM sensitive species. Two state-designated high-quality plant communities would be impacted. Moderately disturbed shrub-steppe habitat would also be disturbed. Ten fish-bearing streams would be traversed. The new line would affect residential housing and quarry activities and traverse areas used for military exercises, farming, and the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge. The line would also mar visual aesthetics in areas traversed, including areas used by recreationists. A total of 36 sensitive archaeological areas could be affected.

T1  - SCHULTZ-HANFORD AREA TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, WASHINGTON. [Part 11 of 51]
T2  - SCHULTZ-HANFORD AREA TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 36345818; 9920-030042_0011
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 500-kilovolt transmission line in central Washington is proposed by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). The project would increase transmission system capacity north of Hanford. Since the mid-1990's, the transmission lines in central Washington have grown increasingly constrained. During spring and early summer months, the amount of power that needs to move through this area has exceeded the carrying capacity of the existing transmission lines. Not having enough transmission capacity can compromise safety and decrease transmission reliability. Four construction alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final EIS. Each construction alternative begins at BPA's Schultz Substation approximately nine miles north of Ellensburg. The alternatives terminate in northern Benton County at one of two locations, namely, BPA's Hanford Substation or a new substation (Wautoma Substation) just east of the Benton REA Blackrock Substation. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would extend approximately 67 miles and terminate at the Wautoma Substation. Approximately 27 miles of the route would directly parallel an existing transmission line, with approximately eight of those miles being a rebuild of the existing line to double-circuit to hold both the existing and new transmission lines; this would reduce rights-of-way impacts and the need for new access roads through agricultural land and rangeland. New rights-of-way would be 150 feet wide throughout most of the corridor. New roads would be located within the right-of-way wherever possible. Some additions and modifications would occur at the Schultz Substation. The new Wautoma Substation would be placed two miles south of Highway 24 at the intersection of the new transmission line and the Hanford-Ostrander 500-kV and Hanford-John Day 500-kV lines. The new transmission system would be integrated into the BPA communications system. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new transmission line would allow BPA to maintain transmission system reliability, optimize transmission system usage, minimize environmental impacts and costs, and meet a crucial system capacity deadlines in the area set for late 2004. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative could affect 28 wetlands and would require placement of one structure within the Columbia River floodplain and construction of a new access road within the Caribou Creek floodplain. Habitat for Umtanum wild buckwheat, Ute ladies' tresses, northern wormwood, basalt daisy, and several BLM sensitive species. Two state-designated high-quality plant communities would be impacted. Moderately disturbed shrub-steppe habitat would also be disturbed. Ten fish-bearing streams would be traversed. The new line would affect residential housing and quarry activities and traverse areas used for military exercises, farming, and the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge. The line would also mar visual aesthetics in areas traversed, including areas used by recreationists. A total of 36 sensitive archaeological areas could be affected.

T1  - SCHULTZ-HANFORD AREA TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, WASHINGTON. [Part 17 of 51]
T2  - SCHULTZ-HANFORD AREA TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 36344468; 9920-030042_0017
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 500-kilovolt transmission line in central Washington is proposed by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). The project would increase transmission system capacity north of Hanford. Since the mid-1990's, the transmission lines in central Washington have grown increasingly constrained. During spring and early summer months, the amount of power that needs to move through this area has exceeded the carrying capacity of the existing transmission lines. Not having enough transmission capacity can compromise safety and decrease transmission reliability. Four construction alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final EIS. Each construction alternative begins at BPA's Schultz Substation approximately nine miles north of Ellensburg. The alternatives terminate in northern Benton County at one of two locations, namely, BPA's Hanford Substation or a new substation (Wautoma Substation) just east of the Benton REA Blackrock Substation. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would extend approximately 67 miles and terminate at the Wautoma Substation. Approximately 27 miles of the route would directly parallel an existing transmission line, with approximately eight of those miles being a rebuild of the existing line to double-circuit to hold both the existing and new transmission lines; this would reduce rights-of-way impacts and the need for new access roads through agricultural land and rangeland. New rights-of-way would be 150 feet wide throughout most of the corridor. New roads would be located within the right-of-way wherever possible. Some additions and modifications would occur at the Schultz Substation. The new Wautoma Substation would be placed two miles south of Highway 24 at the intersection of the new transmission line and the Hanford-Ostrander 500-kV and Hanford-John Day 500-kV lines. The new transmission system would be integrated into the BPA communications system. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new transmission line would allow BPA to maintain transmission system reliability, optimize transmission system usage, minimize environmental impacts and costs, and meet a crucial system capacity deadlines in the area set for late 2004. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative could affect 28 wetlands and would require placement of one structure within the Columbia River floodplain and construction of a new access road within the Caribou Creek floodplain. Habitat for Umtanum wild buckwheat, Ute ladies' tresses, northern wormwood, basalt daisy, and several BLM sensitive species. Two state-designated high-quality plant communities would be impacted. Moderately disturbed shrub-steppe habitat would also be disturbed. Ten fish-bearing streams would be traversed. The new line would affect residential housing and quarry activities and traverse areas used for military exercises, farming, and the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge. The line would also mar visual aesthetics in areas traversed, including areas used by recreationists. A total of 36 sensitive archaeological areas could be affected.

T1  - LAKEVIEW RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, LAKE AND HARNEY COUNTIES, OREGON. [Part 3 of 3]
T2  - LAKEVIEW RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, LAKE AND HARNEY COUNTIES, OREGON.
AN  - 36344381; 9917-030039_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for the 3.2-million-acre Lakeview resource planning area in southeastern Oregon is proposed. The area, which is located in Lake and western Harney counties, is bordered on the east by the Burns District; on the south by the Modoc National Forest, Sheldon National Antelope Refuge, and the Surprise Field Office in Nevada and California; on the west by the Fremont and Dechutes national forests; and on the north by the Prineville District. Major issues identified during scoping include those associated with management of special management areas, management of riparian and wetland areas, management of upland habitats, management of recreation in the resource area, and support for local Native American tribes and communities. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would continue the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative D) would balance a high level of natural resource protection and ecological restoration against a significant level of commodity production. Most importantly, The plan would address the management of four existing areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs), as well as designation and management of 12 additional proposed ACECs, and the suitability of national wild, scenic, and recreational designations for three stream segments totaling 29 miles determined to be eligible for such designations under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. Other issues addressed would include shrub steppe vegetation, riparian/wetland vegetation, forest and woodland resources, special status plants, noxious weeds and undesirable invaders, soils, water resources and watershed health, fish and aquatic habitat, wildlife and wildlife habitat, special status animal species, livestock grazing, wild horses, wilderness values, cultural and paleontological resources, air quality, fire management, recreation resource use, off-highway vehicles, visual resources, energy and mineral estate development, lands and realty, and roads and other modes of transportation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would ensure the long-term sustainability of a healthy and productive landscape. The designation and/or management of ACECs would insure the protection of valuable and, in some cases, unique natural resources. Mineral and timber production would contribute to the local, regional, and national economies, and livestock grazing would contribute to the local economy. Fire management would prevent the buildup of fuels that could result in wildland fires and help restore the natural fire regime. Cultural, paleontological and, recreational resources would be preserved and protected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mineral and timber production would disturb and/or displace vegetation and soils and result in erosion and sedimentation of receiving streams. Grazing would also result in erosion and damage to vegetation and wetland areas. Any development activity could disturb as yet unidentified cultural and paleontological resource sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968 (16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.).

POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new transmission line would allow BPA to maintain transmission system reliability, optimize transmission system usage, minimize environmental impacts and costs, and meet a crucial system capacity deadlines in the area set for late 2004. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative could affect 28 wetlands and would require placement of one structure within the Columbia River floodplain and construction of a new access road within the Caribou Creek floodplain. Habitat for Umtanum wild buckwheat, Ute ladies' tresses, northern wormwood, basalt daisy, and several BLM sensitive species. Two state-designated high-quality plant communities would be impacted. Moderately disturbed shrub-steppe habitat would also be disturbed. Ten fish-bearing streams would be traversed. The new line would affect residential housing and quarry activities and traverse areas used for military exercises, farming, and the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge. The line would also mar visual aesthetics in areas traversed, including areas used by recreationists. A total of 36 sensitive archaeological areas could be affected.

T2  - SCHULTZ-HANFORD AREA TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 36341978; 9920-030042_0020
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 500-kilovolt transmission line in central Washington is proposed by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). The project would increase transmission system capacity north of Hanford. Since the mid-1990's, the transmission lines in central Washington have grown increasingly constrained. During spring and early summer months, the amount of power that needs to move through this area has exceeded the carrying capacity of the existing transmission lines. Not having enough transmission capacity can compromise safety and decrease transmission reliability. Four construction alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final EIS. Each construction alternative begins at BPA's Schultz Substation approximately nine miles north of Ellensburg. The alternatives terminate in northern Benton County at one of two locations, namely, BPA's Hanford Substation or a new substation (Wautoma Substation) just east of the Benton REA Blackrock Substation. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would extend approximately 67 miles and terminate at the Wautoma Substation. Approximately 27 miles of the route would directly parallel an existing transmission line, with approximately eight of those miles being a rebuild of the existing line to double-circuit to hold both the existing and new transmission lines; this would reduce rights-of-way impacts and the need for new access roads through agricultural land and rangeland. New rights-of-way would be 150 feet wide throughout most of the corridor. New roads would be located within the right-of-way wherever possible. Some additions and modifications would occur at the Schultz Substation. The new Wautoma Substation would be placed two miles south of Highway 24 at the intersection of the new transmission line and the Hanford-Ostrander 500-kV and Hanford-John Day 500-kV lines. The new transmission system would be integrated into the BPA communications system.

T1  - SCHULTZ-HANFORD AREA TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, WASHINGTON. [Part 15 of 51]
T2  - SCHULTZ-HANFORD AREA TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 36338966; 9920-030042_0015
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 500-kilovolt transmission line in central Washington is proposed by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). The project would increase transmission system capacity north of Hanford. Since the mid-1990's, the transmission lines in central Washington have grown increasingly constrained. During spring and early summer months, the amount of power that needs to move through this area has exceeded the carrying capacity of the existing transmission lines. Not having enough transmission capacity can compromise safety and decrease transmission reliability. Four construction alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final EIS. Each construction alternative begins at BPA's Schultz Substation approximately nine miles north of Ellensburg. The alternatives terminate in northern Benton County at one of two locations, namely, BPA's Hanford Substation or a new substation (Wautoma Substation) just east of the Benton REA Blackrock Substation. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would extend approximately 67 miles and terminate at the Wautoma Substation. Approximately 27 miles of the route would directly parallel an existing transmission line, with approximately eight of those miles being a rebuild of the existing line to double-circuit to hold both the existing and new transmission lines; this would reduce rights-of-way impacts and the need for new access roads through agricultural land and rangeland. New rights-of-way would be 150 feet wide throughout most of the corridor. New roads would be located within the right-of-way wherever possible. Some additions and modifications would occur at the Schultz Substation. The new Wautoma Substation would be placed two miles south of Highway 24 at the intersection of the new transmission line and the Hanford-Ostrander 500-kV and Hanford-John Day 500-kV lines. The new transmission system would be integrated into the BPA communications system. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new transmission line would allow BPA to maintain transmission system reliability, optimize transmission system usage, minimize environmental impacts and costs, and meet a crucial system capacity deadlines in the area set for late 2004. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative could affect 28 wetlands and would require placement of one structure within the Columbia River floodplain and construction of a new access road within the Caribou Creek floodplain.

T1  - GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN, SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36438116; 9910
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a new general management plan for the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area located northwest of Los Angeles, California is proposed. The Mediterranean-type ecosystem of this open space preserve, which comprises more than 150,000 acres, offers visitors a multitude of natural, recreational, and cultural experiences. The area provides habitat for more than 450 animal species, including 50 threatened or endangered species. At least 1,000 archaeological sites are located within the area as well as more than 73 historic sites potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would perpetuate the existing management regime, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, approximately 80 percent of the area would be designated for low-intensity uses. Moderate-intensity use area, comprising 15 percent of the park, would act as a buffer around urban areas and scenic corridors in some areas. Small pockets of high-intensity use areas, comprising five percent of the park, would be located in non-sensitive or previously developed areas. Areas to be designated scenic corridors would include Mulholland Highway, the Pacific Coast Highway, and Malibu Canyon Road. This route would comprise a scenic loop with several destination points. A tour shuttle would travel the loop, connecting points of interest such as the Adamson House, Malibu Lagoon, Gillette Ranch, White Oak Ranch, Paramount Ranch, Leo Carrillo State Beach, and Point Dume State Preserve. Mulholland would be managed cooperatively to emphasize its continuity, historic significance, and scenic values. The plan would be used to administer the area for the next 15 to 20 years. Estimated cost of implementing the preferred alternative is $17.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would protect significant natural and cultural resources, while providing for compatible recreation and educational opportunities to a diverse public NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Facility development, park maintenance, and visitor usage would result in negligible to minor soil erosion, water quality degradation, and damage to paleontological resources. Local land use decisions and decisions by authorities administering coastal land use plans, both of which are outside the purview of the authorities administering the plan, could result in more significant impacts. LEGAL MANDATES: Public Law 95-625. PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 01-0044D, Volume 25, Number 1.

T1  - GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN, SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, CALIFORNIA. [Part 4 of 6]
T2  - GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN, SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36347011; 9910-030032_0004
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a new general management plan for the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area located northwest of Los Angeles, California is proposed. The Mediterranean-type ecosystem of this open space preserve, which comprises more than 150,000 acres, offers visitors a multitude of natural, recreational, and cultural experiences. The area provides habitat for more than 450 animal species, including 50 threatened or endangered species. At least 1,000 archaeological sites are located within the area as well as more than 73 historic sites potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would perpetuate the existing management regime, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, approximately 80 percent of the area would be designated for low-intensity uses. Moderate-intensity use area, comprising 15 percent of the park, would act as a buffer around urban areas and scenic corridors in some areas. Small pockets of high-intensity use areas, comprising five percent of the park, would be located in non-sensitive or previously developed areas. Areas to be designated scenic corridors would include Mulholland Highway, the Pacific Coast Highway, and Malibu Canyon Road. This route would comprise a scenic loop with several destination points. A tour shuttle would travel the loop, connecting points of interest such as the Adamson House, Malibu Lagoon, Gillette Ranch, White Oak Ranch, Paramount Ranch, Leo Carrillo State Beach, and Point Dume State Preserve. Mulholland would be managed cooperatively to emphasize its continuity, historic significance, and scenic values. The plan would be used to administer the area for the next 15 to 20 years. Estimated cost of implementing the preferred alternative is $17.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would protect significant natural and cultural resources, while providing for compatible recreation and educational opportunities to a diverse public NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Facility development, park maintenance, and visitor usage would result in negligible to minor soil erosion, water quality degradation, and damage to paleontological resources. Local land use decisions and decisions by authorities administering coastal land use plans, both of which are outside the purview of the authorities administering the plan, could result in more significant impacts. LEGAL MANDATES: Public Law 95-625. PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 01-0044D, Volume 25, Number 1.

T1  - ARKANSAS POST NATIONAL MEMORIAL, ARKANSAS COUNTY, ARKANSAS.
AN  - 36436919; 9908
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for the Arkansas Post National Memorial in Arkansas County, Arkansas is proposed. The memorial, a national historic landmark, is situation on Arkansas Highway 169, seven miles south of Gillett. In 1686 Henri de Tonty established a trading post in the area; this was the first European settlement in the lower Mississippi River Valley. The site was historically significant during both the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would reflect a continuation of the current management direction, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative B, which is the preferred alternative, would emphasize interpretation of the cultural heritage associated with the memorial. Alternative C would emphasize the preservation of cultural and natural resources associated with the memorial for future generations. Alternative D would emphasize the educational and interpretive goals of the memorial through an array of recreational activities while emphasizing the interpretation of the park's historical significance. The preferred alternative would provide for rehabilitation of the visitor center, which would also be expanded to better highlight the park's cultural and natural resources. New programs, such as musical and other performances and the provision of foods representative of a particular culture, would be come part of the annual park activity schedule. The picnic area and the road and trail system would be retained. An informal overflow parking area would be provided. Interpretation of the resources associated with the Civil War would be enhanced. A large portion of the memorial would be managed for the maximum protection of its natural and cultural resources. Some water-based recreation would be allowed. A small visitor contact station, parking area, picnic area, research support facility, maintenance area, and park ranger housing facility would be constructed at the Osotouy Unit. An interpretive loop train emphasizing Native American culture and Euro-American interactions with the aboriginal culture would be developed. Initial cost of implementing the preferred alternative is estimated at $2.6. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would place management emphasis on interpreting the rich cultural heritage that flourished over the centuries in the area of the memorial. It would provide new and innovative ways to celebrate the area's cultural diversity while maintaining the park's natural and cultural resources. Operation and maintenance of the memorial under the new management plan would employ 12 additional workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction of park facilities would result in the loss of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. Additional visitation to the park would exacerbate these impacts and could result in increased incidence of vandalism targeting cultural resources. LEGAL MANDATES: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), National Parks and Recreation Act of 1978 (P.L. 95-625), and Public Law 105-83.

T2  - MONTANA STATEWIDE FINAL OIL AND GAS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT AND AMENDMENT OF THE POWDER RIVER AND BILLINGS RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLANS.
AN  - 36344878; 9898-030020_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan for the management of federal and state coalbed methane gas (CBM) administered by the Miles City and Billings field offices of the Bureau of Land Management and the state of Montana are proposed. The plan would address resource management in the Powder River Resource Management Plan (RMP) Area, including Powder River, Carter, and Treasure counties and portions of Big Horn, Custer, and Rosebud counties, and the Billings RMP Area, including Carbon, Golden Valley, Musselshell, Stillwter, Sweet Grass, Wheatland and Yellowstone counties and the remaining operation of Big Horn County. The combined planning area encompasses 1.5 million acres of federally managed surface and 5.0 million acres of federal mineral estate. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative E) would allow for CBM exploration and development on federal, state, and/or fee mineral resource areas subject to agency decisions, lease stipulations, permit requirements, and surface owner agreements. Operators would be required to submit a project plan outlining the proposed development of an area when requesting CBM well densities greater than one well per 640 acres. All shallow coal seams would have vertical wells installed. For deeper coal seams, the operator would drill directionally or demonstrate in the project plan why directional drilling was not necessary or feasible. Operators would develop single or multiple coal seams per their plans; however, there would be only one well bore per coal seem per designated spacing restriction. Operators would be required to demonstrate in their project plan how impacts to surface resources would be minimized or mitigated. Stipulations regarding release of water during dewatering and release of air pollutants from equipment would also be incorporated into the plans. All mining areas would be reclaimed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The CBM produced in the area would provide a substantial energy resource, reducing the nation's dependence on foreign sources of oil and natural gas. Exploration and production activities would employ local workers and otherwise contribute to the local and regional economies in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development facilities would displace wildlife habitat and farmland and could affect cultural resources. Discharges of sodium could damage soil and degrade water quality in surface and groundwater flows. Compressors and other equipment would generate air pollutants and noise. Transmission lines associated with resource development would mar visual aesthetics in the area. Monitoring wells would be required on land that abuts a Native American reservation. Well development could result in drawdown of the local aquifer. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 02-0129D, Volume 26, Number 2.

The preferred alternative (Alternative E) would allow for CBM exploration and development on federal, state, and/or fee mineral resource areas subject to agency decisions, lease stipulations, permit requirements, and surface owner agreements. Operators would be required to submit a project plan outlining the proposed development of an area when requesting CBM well densities greater than one well per 640 acres. All shallow coal seams would have vertical wells installed. For deeper coal seams, the operator would drill directionally or demonstrate in the project plan why directional drilling was not necessary or feasible. Operators would develop single or multiple coal seams per their plans; however, there would be only one well bore per coal seem per designated spacing restriction. Operators would be required to demonstrate in their project plan how impacts to surface resources would be minimized or mitigated. Stipulations regarding release of water during dewatering and release of air pollutants from equipment would also be incorporated into the plans. All mining areas would be reclaimed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The CBM produced in the area would provide a substantial energy resource, reducing the nation's dependence on foreign sources of oil and natural gas. Exploration and production activities would employ local workers and otherwise contribute to the local and regional economies in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development facilities would displace wildlife habitat and farmland and could affect cultural resources. Discharges of sodium could damage soil and degrade water quality in surface and groundwater flows. Compressors and other equipment would generate air pollutants and noise. Transmission lines associated with resource development would mar visual aesthetics in the area. Monitoring wells would be required on land that abuts a Native American reservation. Well development could result in drawdown of the local aquifer. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

T1  - NORTHWEST NATIONAL PETROLEUM RESERVE, ALASKA.
AN  - 16348988; 9893
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 national'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. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Action Alternative A would make all lands within the NPR-A administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) available for oil and gas leasing. Alternative B would make 96 percent of the BLM-administered lands available for leasing; the area made available for leasing represents 100 percent of the area of high oil and gas potential. The proposed Kasegaluk Lagoon Special Area would be closed with respect to leasing and no permanent gas facilities would be allowed either in the Special Area or, excepting two rights-of-way sites to be designated at Peard Bay and near Wainwright, in and along the shores of the coastal bays and lagoons. Other restrictions would apply to seasonal drilling, natural and artificial islands, off-highway vehicle use, airboard use, and visually sensitive areas. Alternative C would make 47 percent of the BLM-administered lands available for leasing, while emphasizing protection of specific surface resources through prohibiting lease sales, excluding permanent oil and gas facilities, or both in potentially sensitive areas. Exclusion areas would include all those identified as being of concern for estuarine, deep-water lakes, and river and riparian habitat; caribou movement and mitigation areas; raptors, loons, brant, and eiders; cultural and paleontological resources; subsistence cabins and camps; three wilderness study areas; and one proposed wild river corridor and 21 proposed scenic river corridors. Under Alternative C, less than two percent of the area considered as begin high in oil and gas resource potential would be made available for leasing. 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. LEGAL MANDATES: National Petroleum Reserves Production Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 6508).

T1  - LAKE MANAGEMENT PLAN: LAKE MEAD NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA AND MOHAVE COUNTY, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36441111; 9891
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a new general management plan for the Lake Mead National Recreation Area (LMNRA) in Clark County, Nevada and Mohave County, Arizona is proposed. This final EIS tiers from the 1986 final EIS on the general management plan for the LMNRA. The LMNRA provides 157,900 acres of surface water and over 700 miles of shoreline at Lake Meade and 28,260 acres of surface water and 150 miles of shoreline at Lake Mojave. More than one mission personal watercraft are estimated to be in operation today in the United States. These watercraft emerged and gained popularity in park units before an appropriate response could be made to their potential environmental impacts. Studies have demonstrated that such watercraft can damage emergent vegetation, shallow grass flats, and mud flats, adversely affect shore birds that feed on the vegetation, and disturb the life cycles of other wildlife. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would continue the current management regime, are considered in this final EIS. The alternatives address, inter alia, the management of personal watercraft and other recreational uses of the lake. Under Alternative A, no rule would be developed for the continued use of personal watercraft in the LMNRA, and personal watercraft would be prohibited. Required improvements for safety, facilities development, conflict resolution, sanitation, litter control, and resource preservation would be undertaken without a coordinated strategy and finding initiative. Alternative B would provide for the most primitive recreational opportunities for visitors. Compared with the other alternatives, Alternative B would place greater limitations on opportunities for visitors and on motorized watercraft recreation. All vessels powered with carbureted, two-stroke engines, including personal watercraft, would be banned from the recreation area one year after the finalization of the plan. Vessels, including personal watercraft, would use four-cycle or fuel-injected two-cycle engines would not be affected. New facility development would be limited compared to the other alternatives. Restoring the natural shoreline areas would be emphasized. Under Alternative C, the preferred alternative, two percent of the park waters would be managed for semiprimitive or primitive use and boating activities would be authorized to increase. Two-cycle engines would be allowed on the lakes, but would be required to be in compliance with 2006 Environmental Protection Agency emission standards within 10 years of the approval of the plan or by the year 2012. Specific actions to address personal watercraft use, shoreline boating conflicts, and litter and sanitation issues would be included in the plan. Alternative D would emphasize growth with a corresponding reduction in the variety of recreational opportunities on the lakes. The waters of the recreation area would be managed for concentrated use with a greater percentage designated as urban park under the recreation opportunity spectrum, and no areas would be designated as primitive or semiprimitive. Personal watercraft use would be authorized in all waters of the recreation area. Marina and boat launching facilities could be increased, and shoreline restoration would be limited. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, a range of recreational opportunities would be provided at the lakes. The number of watercraft using the lakes would decline, significantly reducing the abovementioned damage caused by personal watercraft as well as improving water quality, reducing air pollutant emissions in the area, and improving visitor safety. Primitive areas would be restored to their full primitive recreational potential. Increased park visitation would improve the economic position of the local economy. An additional 157 full-time or seasonal workers would be employed by the National Park Service to implement the plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Access to and use of the lake would be more restricted than is currently the case. Facility expansion at Cottonwood Cove and El dorado Canyon on Lake Mohave and at Calville Bay, Echo Bay, Overton Beach, Stewarts Point, and Temple Bar on Lake Mead would result in disturbance of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat at those sites. LEGAL MANDATES: National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (P.L. Chapter 406, 39 Stat. 535) and Public Law 88-639. PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 02-0278D, Volume 26, Number 3. For the abstract of the draft and final EISs on the general management plan, see 85-0255D, Volume 9, Number 6 and 86-0373, Volume 10, Number 2, respectively.

T2  - JAMUL INDIAN VILLAGE, 101-ACRE FEE-TO-TRUST TRANSFER PROJECT AND CASINO PROJECT, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36380177; 9890-030012_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The transfer into federal trust of three parcels of land, totaling approximately 101 acres, from the Jamul Indian Village in San Diego County, California is proposed. The village is located in southwestern San Diego County, approximately one mile south of the community of Jamul. The Tribe is also requesting that the National Indian Gaming Commission approve a Development and Management Contract between itself and Lakes Kean Argovitz Resorts-California, LLC. Development of the fee-to-trust parcels would include construction of tribal residences and a tribal government center, conservation measures to protect biological and cultural resources, development of a tribal fire department, construction of a 300-room hotel, and development of ancillary facilities to a casino that would be constructed on existing trust land. Construction of the casino and an associated event center on the existing trust land would require the demolition of existing residences and the existing tribal government center. The development of a 205,194-square-foot casino and a 24,000-square-foot event center would take place on the existing Jamul Village site, with the remaining developments taking place on the adjacent parcels north of the existing trust property. Project infrastructure would include a 2,550-space parking garage, a 30,000-square-foot human resources building, employee and recreational vehicle and bus parking areas, a wastewater treatment and disposal facility, and a fire station. North of Melody Road, 18 homes would be constructed to replace the existing village homes displaced due to casino development. The 10,000-square-foot Tribal government and health center would be constructed north of Melody Road as well. Site development would occur in two phases; the majority of the components would be developed during the first phase beginning in 2003, while the hotel, event center, and employee parking area would not be developed until the second phase beginning in 2009. In addition to the proposed action (Alternative A), this draft EIS considers four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative E). POSITIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the casino, event center, and hotel and related commercial establishments that would spring up around these facilities would vastly improve the economic situation of the Tribe, increasing direct revenues into tribal coffers as well as providing employment for members of the Tribe. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The demolition of housing would cause discomfort for residents in the short-term. The project would require disturbance and displacement of soils and vegetation, some of which provides wildlife habitat. Water and energy consumption in the area would rise significantly, as would the level of sewage and solid waste generation.

NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Access to and use of the lake would be more restricted than is currently the case. Facility expansion at Cottonwood Cove and El dorado Canyon on Lake Mohave and at Calville Bay, Echo Bay, Overton Beach, Stewarts Point, and Temple Bar on Lake Mead would result in disturbance of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat at those sites.

T1  - LAKE MANAGEMENT PLAN: LAKE MEAD NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA AND MOHAVE COUNTY, ARIZONA. [Part 1 of 2]
T2  - LAKE MANAGEMENT PLAN: LAKE MEAD NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA AND MOHAVE COUNTY, ARIZONA.
AN  - 36341902; 9891-030013_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a new general management plan for the Lake Mead National Recreation Area (LMNRA) in Clark County, Nevada and Mohave County, Arizona is proposed. This final EIS tiers from the 1986 final EIS on the general management plan for the LMNRA. The LMNRA provides 157,900 acres of surface water and over 700 miles of shoreline at Lake Meade and 28,260 acres of surface water and 150 miles of shoreline at Lake Mojave. More than one mission personal watercraft are estimated to be in operation today in the United States. These watercraft emerged and gained popularity in park units before an appropriate response could be made to their potential environmental impacts. Studies have demonstrated that such watercraft can damage emergent vegetation, shallow grass flats, and mud flats, adversely affect shore birds that feed on the vegetation, and disturb the life cycles of other wildlife. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would continue the current management regime, are considered in this final EIS. The alternatives address, inter alia, the management of personal watercraft and other recreational uses of the lake. Under Alternative A, no rule would be developed for the continued use of personal watercraft in the LMNRA, and personal watercraft would be prohibited. Required improvements for safety, facilities development, conflict resolution, sanitation, litter control, and resource preservation would be undertaken without a coordinated strategy and finding initiative. Alternative B would provide for the most primitive recreational opportunities for visitors. Compared with the other alternatives, Alternative B would place greater limitations on opportunities for visitors and on motorized watercraft recreation. All vessels powered with carbureted, two-stroke engines, including personal watercraft, would be banned from the recreation area one year after the finalization of the plan. Vessels, including personal watercraft, would use four-cycle or fuel-injected two-cycle engines would not be affected. New facility development would be limited compared to the other alternatives. Restoring the natural shoreline areas would be emphasized. Under Alternative C, the preferred alternative, two percent of the park waters would be managed for semiprimitive or primitive use and boating activities would be authorized to increase. Two-cycle engines would be allowed on the lakes, but would be required to be in compliance with 2006 Environmental Protection Agency emission standards within 10 years of the approval of the plan or by the year 2012. Specific actions to address personal watercraft use, shoreline boating conflicts, and litter and sanitation issues would be included in the plan. Alternative D would emphasize growth with a corresponding reduction in the variety of recreational opportunities on the lakes. The waters of the recreation area would be managed for concentrated use with a greater percentage designated as urban park under the recreation opportunity spectrum, and no areas would be designated as primitive or semiprimitive. Personal watercraft use would be authorized in all waters of the recreation area. Marina and boat launching facilities could be increased, and shoreline restoration would be limited. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, a range of recreational opportunities would be provided at the lakes. The number of watercraft using the lakes would decline, significantly reducing the abovementioned damage caused by personal watercraft as well as improving water quality, reducing air pollutant emissions in the area, and improving visitor safety. Primitive areas would be restored to their full primitive recreational potential. Increased park visitation would improve the economic position of the local economy. An additional 157 full-time or seasonal workers would be employed by the National Park Service to implement the plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Access to and use of the lake would be more restricted than is currently the case. Facility expansion at Cottonwood Cove and El dorado Canyon on Lake Mohave and at Calville Bay, Echo Bay, Overton Beach, Stewarts Point, and Temple Bar on Lake Mead would result in disturbance of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat at those sites.

T2  - KING RANGE NATIONAL CONSERVATION AREA, HUMBOLDT AND MENDOCINO COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36352425; 10558-040001_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a revised general resource management plan (RMP) for the King Range National Conservation Area (KRNCA) of California is proposed. the KRNCA encompasses 58,000 acres of public and 6,000 acres of private lands located along the rugged northern California coast approximately 60 miles south of Eureak and 200 miles north of San Francisco. The total planning area encompasses approximately 69,000 acres. A larger "planning area of influence" also includes the surrounding region, stretching from McNutt Gulch near Petrolia in the north to Whale Gulch in the south and including the Mattole River watershed. An abrupt wall of mountains thrusts 4,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean, making the area one of the most spectacular and remote stretches of coastline in the continental United States. Visitors pursue a wide variety of recreational activities, and the area provides special forest products, mostly wild mushrooms, and livestock grazing land for several local ranchers. The existing 1974 RMP requires evaluation and revision in the light of resource and recreational developments in the area since its inception. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would perpetuate the existing RMP, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would represent a blend of the various options addressing each resource issue under the various alternatives under consideration. The plan would address the management of visual resources, cultural and historic resources, land acquisition and disposition, wilderness areas, wild and scenic rivers, areas of critical environmental concern, aquatic ecosystems, wildlife habitat, terrestrial/vegetative ecosystems, forest resources, special forest products, grazing resources, fire management, transportation and access, recreation resources, and interpretation and education activities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide for appropriate use of natural and recreational resources within the area, while protecting the pristine values of the area for present and future generations. Grazing interests would be protected, but impacts of rangeland use would be reduced to a minimum. Recreational access to the area would increase appreciably. Low-impact economic exploitation of the area would generally increase, benefiting local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of new recreational access facilities and increased visitation would result in some impacts to soils and vegetation. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and King Range Act of 1970 (P.L. 91-476).

T1  - AEP 765-KV TRANSMISSION LINE CONSTRUCTION, JACKSON'S FERRY, VIRGINIA TO OCEANA, WEST VIRGINIA.
AN  - 36440822; 9886
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction by the American Electric Power Company (AEP) of a 90-mile 765-kilovolt (kV) electric transmission line crossing 11 miles of federal land within a 200-foot right-of-way, located in central western Virginia and southern West Virginia, is proposed. The transmission line would affect lands under the jurisdiction of the Forest Service (the George Washington and Jefferson national forests), the National Park Service (the Appalachian National Scenic Trail), and the Army Corps of Engineers (the New River and R.D. Bailey Lake Flowage Easement Land). The line would help meet the anticipated demand for electric power in the region and increase system reliability. Issues of concern include the impacts on water resources, cultural resources, human health and safety, air quality and noise, recreational trails and trail users, other recreational, social and economic resources, land use and land use plans, aesthetic and visual resources, plant and animal resources, and geology, soils, and minerals. Fourteen alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 14, the then preferred alternative of the Forest Service and the National Park Service; the Army Corps of Engineers had not identified an agency preferred alternative), were considered in the draft EIS of June 1996. A draft supplement, issued in April 2002, considered six alternatives in details, including AEP's proposed route (Alternative 1), four route alternatives, and a No Action Alternative (Alternative 6). AEP's proposed transmission line route, which is the federal agencys' preferred alternative, would extend 89.8 miles from Jackson Ferry, Virginia to Oceana, West Virginia. The other route alternatives would extend from 89.7 to 89.9 miles, connecting the same termini. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Increased availability of electric power to AEP's service area would increase reliability and reduce outages and voltage drops, and could stimulate growth in the area, increasing employment, local expenditures, and increased tax revenues. Project construction would create 35 jobs on average, with a peak requirement of 100, increasing area construction-related income by $90.1 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Irretrievable incompatibility with sensitive land uses and features would occur, such as the New River, the Appalachian Trail, and residences. The visual effects of the action alternatives would be high, adverse, and long-lasting, especially in such recreational areas as the Appalachian Trail, the New River, and various parks, mountains, lookouts, and highways. The National Park Service has determined that the adverse visual impacts of crossing the New River within the Wild and Scenic study area would be unacceptable. Also, the proposed action would not comply with the Jefferson National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan, particularly as it would apply to visual resources. The action alternatives would adversely affect wildlife habitat, recreation, karst terrain, noise levels, soils resource, water resources, and vegetation. It could also adversely affect wetlands and floodplains, aquatic biological resources, land use, social and economic values, archaeological resources, cultural attachment, human health and safety, and federal and state proposed, endangered, threatened, and sensitive species and state heritage list species.

T1  - BANKS LAKE DRAWDOWN, DOUGLAS AND GRANT COUNTIES, WASHINGTON. [Part 1 of 1]
T2  - BANKS LAKE DRAWDOWN, DOUGLAS AND GRANT COUNTIES, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 36370133; 9884-030006_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to drawdown Banks Lake in Douglas and Grant counties, Washington is proposed. The proposal would result in a drawdown of the lake surface elevation from 1,565 feet to 1,560 feet in August of each year. On September 1 of each year, the water level would begin to be increased, with an elevation of 1,565 being reached no later than September 10. The action is needed to increase the probability of meeting flow objectives in the Columbia River at McNary Dam during out-migration of federally protected salmonid stock. The drawdown would provide an additional 127,200 acre-feet of water for this purpose. Issues addressed during scoping include those associated with lake elevations, instream flows, water quality, irrigation deliveries, fish and wildlife habitat, threatened and endangered species, recreation resources, public safety, cultural resources, and economics. In addition to the drawdown alternative, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, resulting in an August surface elevation at the lake of between 1,565 and 1,570 feet. Each alternative includes four potential operational scenarios that could occur within their respective ranges. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The drawdown would help ensure at least a minimum downstream flow level for out-migrating salmonids. Fish prey could become more available to bald eagles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Severe water fluctuations during drawdowns and returns to normal pool elevation would result in damage to vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat and the distribution and abundance of fish and wildlife in the vicinity of the reservoir could be affected. Drawdowns would also affect recreational access and, thereby, recreation-based businesses. Annual hydroelectric energy generation losses would range from 8,000 to 41,000 megawatt-hours (MWh). Net power generation losses would range from 521 to 2,370 MWh annually. Net power generation losses that would need to be replaced range from 6,081 to 6,456 MWh annually. Surface water quality could be affected by increases in thermal mixing during drawdowns, and groundwater levels could drop during these periods. Mudflats would cover 2,500 acres during drawdowns. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).

T2  - AEP 765-KV TRANSMISSION LINE CONSTRUCTION, JACKSON'S FERRY, VIRGINIA TO OCEANA, WEST VIRGINIA.
AN  - 36350414; 9886-030008_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction by the American Electric Power Company (AEP) of a 90-mile 765-kilovolt (kV) electric transmission line crossing 11 miles of federal land within a 200-foot right-of-way, located in central western Virginia and southern West Virginia, is proposed. The transmission line would affect lands under the jurisdiction of the Forest Service (the George Washington and Jefferson national forests), the National Park Service (the Appalachian National Scenic Trail), and the Army Corps of Engineers (the New River and R.D. Bailey Lake Flowage Easement Land). The line would help meet the anticipated demand for electric power in the region and increase system reliability. Issues of concern include the impacts on water resources, cultural resources, human health and safety, air quality and noise, recreational trails and trail users, other recreational, social and economic resources, land use and land use plans, aesthetic and visual resources, plant and animal resources, and geology, soils, and minerals. Fourteen alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 14, the then preferred alternative of the Forest Service and the National Park Service; the Army Corps of Engineers had not identified an agency preferred alternative), were considered in the draft EIS of June 1996. A draft supplement, issued in April 2002, considered six alternatives in details, including AEP's proposed route (Alternative 1), four route alternatives, and a No Action Alternative (Alternative 6). AEP's proposed transmission line route, which is the federal agencys' preferred alternative, would extend 89.8 miles from Jackson Ferry, Virginia to Oceana, West Virginia. The other route alternatives would extend from 89.7 to 89.9 miles, connecting the same termini. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Increased availability of electric power to AEP's service area would increase reliability and reduce outages and voltage drops, and could stimulate growth in the area, increasing employment, local expenditures, and increased tax revenues. Project construction would create 35 jobs on average, with a peak requirement of 100, increasing area construction-related income by $90.1 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Irretrievable incompatibility with sensitive land uses and features would occur, such as the New River, the Appalachian Trail, and residences. The visual effects of the action alternatives would be high, adverse, and long-lasting, especially in such recreational areas as the Appalachian Trail, the New River, and various parks, mountains, lookouts, and highways. The National Park Service has determined that the adverse visual impacts of crossing the New River within the Wild and Scenic study area would be unacceptable. Also, the proposed action would not comply with the Jefferson National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan, particularly as it would apply to visual resources. The action alternatives would adversely affect wildlife habitat, recreation, karst terrain, noise levels, soils resource, water resources, and vegetation. It could also adversely affect wetlands and floodplains, aquatic biological resources, land use, social and economic values, archaeological resources, cultural attachment, human health and safety, and federal and state proposed, endangered, threatened, and sensitive species and state heritage list species.

T1  - Harry Truman and Independence, Missouri: "This Is Where I Belong." Teaching with Historic Places.
AN  - 62241874; ED476348
AB  - Harry S. Truman (1884-1972) spent 64 years of his life in Independence, Missouri. The qualities instilled in him there as a child and young adult guided him personally and in his careers as farmer, judge, senator, and President of the United States (1945-53). After leaving public office in 1953, he returned to his hometown to live among the family and neighbors who had always supported him. The house where Truman and his wife shared 53 years of married life is preserved today as the Harry S. Truman National Historic Site. The home and neighborhood help people understand the life and character of the 33rd President. This lesson can be used in U.S. history, social studies, or geography courses in a unit on Truman's presidency; or incorporated in a study of the role of small towns in U.S. society and how notable people are shaped by their early years. The lesson plan contains eight sections: (1) "About This Lesson"; (2) "Getting Started: Inquiry Question"; (3) "Setting the Stage: Historical Context"; (4) "Locating the Site: Maps" (Missouri; Kansas City, Independence, and Grandview, Missouri); (5) "Determining the Facts: Readings" (Years of Growth (1884-1906); Years of Change and Challenges (1906-1934); Harry Truman and National Politics (1935-1952); Retirement Years (1953-1972); (6) "Visual Evidence: Images" (Harry Truman's Independence; Truman House, 1904; Truman House Today; Courthouse Square, Independence); (7) "Putting It All Together: Activities" (The Place We Call Home; Why Preserve Old Buildings?); and (8) "Supplementary Resources."

T1  - America's Space Program: Exploring a New Frontier. Teaching with Historic Places.
AN  - 62236461; ED474892
AB  - Several hundred thousand people converged on the Kennedy Space Center (Florida) on July 16, 1969, to view the launch of the "Saturn V" rocket that would propel "Apollo 11" to the moon. The engineers and technicians watching their computer screens may secretly have kept their fingers crossed, but at two minutes before launch, a reporter recorded that "idle conversation halted.""We have liftoff," said Mission Control. In another two minutes, there was nothing to see but the blue sky. This lesson, based on the National Register of Historic Places registration files for Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida and for related government properties, can be used in U.S. history, social studies, and geography courses in units on the space program, the Cold War, and its effects on U.S. society, or interdisciplinary units on science and technology. The lesson is divided into eight sections: (1) "About This Lesson"; (2) "Getting Started: Inquiry Question"; (3) "Setting the Stage: Historical Context"; (4) "Locating the Site: Maps" (United States Space Installations; Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center); (5) "Determining the Facts: Readings" (Preparing the Way; The "Apollo" Hardware; "The 'Eagle' Has Landed"); (6) "Visual Evidence: Images" (Transporting the "Apollo" Space Vehicle to the Launch Site; "Saturn V" Lifting Off, July 16, 1969; Mission Control Center, Diagram and Key; Front Page of the (Washington) "Evening Star," July 21, 1969; View of the Earth from Space); (7) "Putting It All Together: Activities" (Unexpected Benefits from Space Research; A Mission to Mars?; What Price History?); and (8) "Supplementary Resources."

T1  - Back Stairs at Brucemore: Life as Servants in Early 20th-Century America. Teaching with Historic Places.
AN  - 62230421; ED475999
AB  - When friends and family visited the Douglas family at Brucemore in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, they had the opportunity to enjoy the beauty and grace of the mansion's public places. On its 33 acres, Brucemore had a duck pond, swimming pool, tennis courts, and large formal gardens, besides its 21 extravagant rooms and furnishings. Domestic servants were integral to the sophistication and decorum, much less the functionality, of the Brucemore estate their work touched every part of the estate. During the years the Douglas family made Brucemore their home, 10 or more people maintained the mansion and grounds at any given time. This lesson is based on the National Register of Historic Places property, "T. M. Sinclair Mansion" (or Brucemore) as well as primary and secondary materials available at Brucemore. The lesson can be used in units on the Gilded Age. It is divided into eight sections: (1) "About This Lesson; (2) "Getting Started: Inquiry Question"; (3) "Setting the Stage: Historical Context"; (4) "Locating the Site: Maps" (Cedar Rapids, 1906; Brucemore Estate, 1911-1928); (5) "Determining the Facts: Readings" (Servants at Brucemore; Danny's Diary; Comparing Period Sources); (6) "Visual Evidence: Images" ( 10 photographs taken at Brucemore); (7) "Putting It All Together: Activities" (Ideal and Real; Built-In Service; Factory Work vs. Domestic Service; Preserving the Past); and (8) "Supplementary Resources."

T1  - New Kent School and the George W. Watkins School: From Freedom of Choice to Integration. Teaching with Historic Places.
AN  - 62219932; ED475604
AB  - During the Jim Crow era, separation of the races in public places was either required by law or permitted as a cultural norm. Public school systems across the U.S. south were typically segregated. After 1896, these schools were supposed to adhere to the separate but equal rule established by the U.S. Supreme Court in "Plessy v. Ferguson." However, schools for blacks were most often inferior to schools for whites. The New Kent School and the George W. Watkins School, New Kent County, Virginia, are associated with the most significant public school desegregation case the Supreme Court decided after "Brown v. Board of Education" in 1954. The 1968 "Charles Green, et al., v. County School Board of New Kent County, Virginia, et al." decision defined the standards by which the Supreme Court judged whether a violation of the U.S. Constitution had been remedied in school desegregation cases.

T1  - The Battle of Bennington: An American Victory. Teaching with Historic Places.
AN  - 62167151; ED479231
AB  - During the summer of 1777 the British undertook an ambitious campaign to isolate New England from the rest of the colonies. For two months General John Burgoyne led his army down the Lake Champlain-Hudson River toward Albany (New York) with apparent ease, but he then found he needed provisions, wagons, cattle, and horses for his army. He sent an expeditionary force to the small town of Bennington, Vermont, where the British Army and its Canadian, Indian, and Loyalist supporters faced U.S. Patriots defending their newly proclaimed independence. The Patriots won, which contributed to the British defeat at Saratoga (New York) a little later and helped decide who would win the U.S. War of Independence. This lesson is based on the National Historic Landmark documentation file,"Bennington Battlefield" and other sources. The lesson can be used in U.S. history, social studies, and geography courses in units on the Revolutionary War. It is divided into eight sections: (1) "About This Lesson"; (2) "Getting Started: Inquiry Question"; (3) "Setting the Stage: Historical Context"; (4) "Locating the Site: Maps" (Northeast United States; British Campaign 1777); (5) "Determining the Facts: Readings" (British Forces; Americans; Battle of Bennington); (6) "Visual Evidence: Images" (Lt. Durnford's Map of the Site of the Battle of Bennington; British Position and the American Attack); (7) "Putting It All Together: Activities" (The People, the Cause, the Land, the Strategy; Historical Languages and Images; Moments of Heroism); and (8) "Supplementary Resources".

T1  - Wright Brothers National Memorial: Site of the First Controlled Powered Flight. Teaching with Historic Places.
AN  - 62166268; ED480843
AB  - Wilbur and Orville Wright undertook the first test airplane flight on December 17, 1903, at the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Their success represented the culmination of four years of painstaking research and trials in which they designed and improved their flying machines at home in Dayton, Ohio, and tested them each year near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The site where the brothers launched their gliders and eventually flew a powered aircraft is preserved today as Wright Brothers National Memorial. This lesson is based on National Park Service materials and other sources related to the Wright brothers. The lesson can be used in U.S. history, social studies, and geography courses in units on technological and scientific advances at the turn of the 20th century, aviation history, or great inventors. It is divided into eight sections: (1) "About This Lesson"; (2) "Getting Started: Inquiry Question"; (3) "Setting the Stage: Historical Context"; (4) "Locating the Site: Maps "(Outer Banks, North Carolina; Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills Area); (5) "Determining the Facts: Readings" (Quest for Flight; From Gliding to Controlled Powered Flight; Excerpt from Orville Wright's Diary, Dec. 17, 1903; Wright Brothers' Legacy); (6) "Visual Evidence: Images" (Wilbur Wright Flying the 1901 Glider; Orville Wright Flying the 1902 Glider; Interior of Wrights' Shed/Living Quarters, 1902; Wright Brothers' Camp and Flyer, 1903; Liftoff on December 17, 1903; First Flight Markers Today; Wright Brothers' Monument Today); (7) "Putting It All Together: Activities" (Designing a Glider; Impact of Airplanes; Honoring Achievements in the Local Community); and (8) "Supplementary Resources."

T1  - Paterson, New Jersey: America's Silk City. Teaching with Historic Places.
AN  - 62163715; ED477289
AB  - Paterson, New Jersey, was established in the 1790s to utilize the power of the water that cascades through the Passaic River Gorge. Massive brick mill buildings lined the canals that transformed the power of the falls into energy to drive machines. These mills manufactured many things during the history of this industrial city. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, they produced silk fabrics in such quantities that Paterson was known as the "Silk City." Today, many of the mill buildings survive, mute witnesses to a turbulent history. This lesson is based on several National Historic Landmark nomination files, the National Register of Historic Places registration file, Belle Vista, and additional information. The lesson can be used in U.S. history, social studies, and geography courses in units on labor-management conflict and the rise of unions, or on immigration. It contains eight sections: (1) "About This Lesson"; (2) "Getting Started: Inquiry Question"; (3) "Setting the Stage: Historical Context"; (4) "Locating the Site: Maps" (Paterson and Surrounding Region; Great Falls/S.U.M. Historic District); (5) "Determining the Facts: Readings" (Working 'In the Silk'; Strike!; Owners and Workers); (6) "Visual Evidence: Images" (Dye House in the S.U.M. District, ca. 1910; Dye House Workers, ca. 1900; Silk Weaving Mill in the S.U.M. District; Jacquard Silk Looms, ca. 1900; Belle Vista (Lambert Castle), 1896; Strike Rally at the Botto House, 1913); (7) "Putting It All Together: Activities" (Working and Workers; Labor Unions and Strikes; Local Industry); and (8) "Supplementary Resources."

T1  - Wheat Fields, Flour Mills, and Railroads: A Web of Interdependence. Teaching with Historic Places.
AN  - 62161917; ED478396
AB  - By 1860 much of the beauty of St. Anthony Falls in Minneapolis (Minnesota) had been destroyed, as mills on both sides of the river used the power of the falls to turn millions of bushels of wheat into flour. Steel rails linked bonanza farms hundreds of miles to the west to the mills. The mills, the farms, and the railroads depended on each other for success. This efficient combination dominated flour production in the United States for more than half a century. This lesson is based on National Register of Historic Places registration files and documents supplied by the Minnesota and North Dakota historical societies. The lesson could be used in relevant U.S. history, social studies, and geography courses or in courses in economic history. It is divided into eight sections: (1)"About This Lesson"; (2) "Getting Started: Inquiry Question"; (3) "Setting the Stage: Historical Context"; (4) "Locating the Site: Maps" (Railroads in Minnesota and North and South Dakota, 1890); (5) "Determining the Facts: Readings" (Waterpower and Flour Milling; Bonanza Farms of North Dakota; Saint Paul, Minneapolis, and Manitoba Railway); (6) "Visual Evidence: Images" (West Side Milling District, 1890 and early 1920s; Pillsbury Mill Complex; Wheat Harvesting on a Bonanza Farm, 1891; Bagg Bonanza Farm, 19302 and 1985); (7) "Putting It All Together: Activities" (Web of Interdependence; Reactions of Interdependence; Change over Time in the Community); and (8) "Supplementary Resources."

AB  - The Northwest NPR-A IAP/EIS will determine appropriate multiple-use management of 8.8 million acres of public lands in the NPR-A consistent with statutory direction. This draft document puts forward four alternatives. The alternatives offer a range of options that would make lands available for oil and gas leasing. The range includes making no lands available for leasing to making all lands available for leasing. The EIS evaluates the potential effects to Air Quality; Birds; Coastal Zone Management; Cultural Resources; Economy; Endangered and Threatened Species (Bowhead Whales and Spectacled and Steller's eiders); Estuarine Water Quality; Environmental Justice; Fish Resources (Anadromous and Amphidromous); Freshwater Quality; Marine and Terrestrial Mammals; Paleontological Resources; Recreation and Wilderness; Sociocultural Systems; Soils; Subsistence-Harvest Patterns; Vegetation and Wetlands; Water Resources; Wild and Scenic Rivers. The alternatives propose a range of land allocations as well as stipulations and required operating procedures to mitigate impacts to resources and the uses.

T1  - Selected Natural Attenuation Monitoring Data, Operable Unit 1, Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Division Keyport, Washington, June 2001
AN  - 20836345; 7292754
AB  - Previous investigations have shown that natural attenuation and biodegradation of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) are substantial in shallow ground water beneath the 9-acre former landfill at Operable Unit 1 (OU 1), Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC), Division Keyport, Washington. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has continued to monitor ground- water geochemistry to assure that conditions remain favorable for contaminant biodegradation. This report presents the ground- water geochemical and selected CVOC data collected at OU 1 by the USGS during June 11-14, 2001 in support of the long-term monitoring for natural attenuation.

T1  - Hydrology and Water Quality of Elkhead Creek and Elkhead Reservoir near Craig, Colorado, July 1995 - September 2001
AN  - 20716264; 6261668
AB  - The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Colorado River Water Conservation District, collected and analyzed baseline streamflow and water-quality information for Elkhead Creek and water-quality and trophic-state information for Elkhead Reservoir from July 1995 through September 2001. In the study area, Elkhead Creek is a meandering, alluvial stream dominated by snowmelt in mountainous headwaters that produces most of the annual discharge volume and discharge peaks during late spring and early summer. During most of water year 1996 (a typical year), daily mean discharge at station 09246400 (downstream from the reservoir) was similar to daily mean discharge at station 09246200 (upstream from the reservoir). Flow-duration curves for stations 09246200 and 09246400 were nearly identical, except for discharges less than about 10 cubic feet per second.

T1  - Development and Calibration of a Ground-Water Flow Model for the Sparta Aquifer of Southeastern Arkansas and North-Central Louisiana and Simulated Response to Withdrawals, 1998-2027
AN  - 20714676; 6261701
AB  - The Sparta aquifer, which consists of the Sparta Sand, in southeastern Arkansas and north-central Louisiana is a major water resource and provides water for municipal, industrial, and agricultural uses. In recent years, the demand in some areas has resulted in withdrawals from the Sparta aquifer that substantially exceed replenishment of the aquifer. Considerable drawdown has occurred in the potentiometric surface forming regional cones of depression as water is removed from storage by withdrawals. These cones of depression are centered beneath the Grand Prairie area and the cities of Pine Bluff and El Dorado in Arkansas, and Monroe in Louisiana. The rate of decline for hydraulic heads in the aquifer has been greater than 1 foot per year for more than a decade in much of southern Arkansas and northern Louisiana where hydraulic heads are now below the top of the Sparta Sand. Continued hydraulic-head declines have caused water users and managers alike to question the ability of the aquifer to supply water for the long term. Concern over protecting the Sparta aquifer as a sustainable resource has resulted in a continued, cooperative effort by the Arkansas Soil and Water Conservation Commission, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the U.S. Geological Survey to develop, maintain, and utilize numerical ground-water flow models to manage and further analyze the ground-water system. The work presented in this report describes the development and calibration of a ground-water flow model representing the Sparta aquifer to simulate observed hydraulic heads, documents major differences in the current Sparta model compared to the previous Sparta model calibrated in the mid-1980's, and presents the results of three hypothetical future withdrawal scenarios.

T1  - Volatile Organic Compound Data From Three Karst Springs in Middle Tennessee, February 2000 to May 2001
AN  - 20389109; 7292755
AB  - The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation Division of Superfund collected discharge rainfall continuous water-quality (temperature dissolved oxygen specific conductance and pH) and volatile organic compound (VOC) data fixing three karst springs in Middle Tennessee fixing February 2000 to May 2001. Continuous monitoring data indicated that each spring responds differently to storms. Water quality and discharge at Wilson Spring which is located in the Central Basin karst region of Tennessee changed rapidly after rain- fall. Water quality and discharge also varied at Cascade Spring; however, changes did not occur as frequently or as quickly as changes at Wilson Spring. Water quality and discharge at Big Spring at Rutledge Falls changed little in response to storms. Cascade Spring and Big Spring at Rutledge Falls are located in similar hydrogeologic settings on the escarpment of the Highland Rim.

T1  - Survival, Transport, and Sources of Fecal Bacteria in Streams and Survival in Land-Applied Poultry Litter in the Upper Shoal Creek Basin, Southwestern Missouri, 2001-2002
AN  - 20187958; 6261698
AB  - Densities of fecal coliform bacteria along a 5.7-mi (mile) reach of Shoal Creek extending upstream from State Highway 97 (site 3) to State Highway W (site 2) and in two tributaries along this reach exceeded the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) standard of 200 col/100 mL (colonies per 100 milliliters) for whole-body contact recreation. A combination of techniques was used in this report to provide information on the source, transport, and survival of fecal bacteria along this reach of Shoal Creek. Results of water-quality samples collected during dye- trace and seepage studies indicated that at summer low base-flow conditions, pastured cattle likely were a substantial source of fecal bacteria in Shoal Creek at the MDNR monitoring site (site 3) at State Highway 97. Using repeat element Polymerase Chain Reaction (rep-PCR), cattle were the presumptive source of about 50 percent of the Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolates in water samples from site 3. Cattle, horses, and humans were the most common presumptive source of E. coli isolates at sites further upstream. Poultry was identified by rep-PCR as a major source of E. coli in Pogue Creek, a tributary in the upper part of the study area.

T1  - Patterns and Sources of Fecal Coliform Bacteria in Three Streams in Virginia, 1999-2000
AN  - 20151593; 6261687
AB  - This report demonstrates the field application of bacterial source tracking technology, which was used to identify the sources of fecal coli form bacteria in three streams that are on Virginia's 1998 303(d) list of impaired waters. Stream water data were collected from March 1999 through October 2000 under both base-flow and storm-flow conditions. Concentrations of fecal coli form bacteria were determined at the stream gage and 4-5 other locations in each watershed; bacterial source tracking was performed only on the samples that were collected at the stream gage in each watershed. In addition to identifying the sources of fecal coli form bacteria in the three streams, the report describes (1) seasonal and discharge-related patterns in the concentrations of fecal coli form bacteria; (2) multiple linear regression models for predicting fecal coli form concentrations as a function of supporting water-quality field parameters; (3) seasonal and discharge-related patterns in the identified bacteria sources of each stream; and (4) the effect of source-library size on the identification of bacteria. Study results have broad implications for the interpretation of source-tracking data and the development of TMDL plans in impaired streams.

T1  - Occurrence of Volatile Organic Compounds in Drinking Water from the United States: Results from Archived Chromatograms and Water Samples, 1989-2000
AN  - 19974633; 7290794
AB  - This report is a supplement to PB2006-500024, a product on CD- ROM, and identifies abbreviations and acronyms and location of sample sites. It also provides a retrospctive synthesis of VOC data from selected sites that are representative of drinking water sources throughout the U.S. The data were obtained from chromatograms compiled between 1989 and 2000 by the USGS Chlorofluorocarbon Laboratory, as a by product of CFC analyses and from archived water samples analyzed during this investigation. National surveys of VOCs ground water at the microgram per liter level or lower could provide valuable information to water resources managers regarding aquifer susceptibility and the potential for concentrations of VOCs to exceed drinking water standards in specific areas.

T1  - Selected Ground-Water Data for Yucca Mountain Region, Southern Nevada and Eastern California, January 2000-December 2002
AN  - 19972528; 7292756
AB  - The U.S. Geological Survey, in support of the U.S. Department of Energy, Yucca Mountain Project, collects, compiles, and summarizes hydrologic data in the Yucca Mountain region. The data are collected to allow assessments of groundwater resources during activities to determine the potential suitability or development of Yucca Mountain for storing high-level nuclear waste. Data on ground-water levels at 35 wells and a fissure (Devils Hole), ground-water discharge at 5 springs and a flowing well, and total reported ground-water withdrawals within Crater Flat, Jackass Flats, Mercury Valley, and the Amargosa Desert are tabulated from January 2000 through December 2002. Historical data on water levels, discharges, and withdrawals are graphically presented to indicate variations through time. A statistical summary of ground- water levels at seven wells in Jackass Flats is presented for 1992- 2002 to indicate potential effects of ground-water withdrawals associated with U.S. Department of Energy activities near Yucca Mountain. The statistical summary includes the annual number of measurements, maximum, minimum, and median water- level altitudes, and average deviation of measured water-level altitudes compared to selected baseline periods. Baseline periods varied for 1985-93. At six of the seven wells in Jackass Flats, the median water levels for 2002 were slightly higher (0.3-2.4 feet) than for their respective baseline periods. At the remaining well, data for 2002 was not summarized statistically but median water-level altitude in 2001 was 0.7 foot higher than that in its baseline period.

T1  - Framework for a Ground-Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Program for California
AN  - 19937007; 6261644
AB  - The State of California uses more ground water than any other State in the Nation. With a population of over 30 million people, an agricultural economy based on intensive irrigation, large urban industrial areas, and naturally elevated concentrations of some trace elements, there is a wide range of contaminant sources that have the potential to contaminate ground water and limit its beneficial uses. In response to the many--and different--potential sources of ground-water contamination, the State of California has evolved an extensive set of rules and programs to protect ground- water quality, and agencies to implement the rules and programs. These programs have in common a focus on compliance with regulations governing chemical use and (or) ground-water quality. Although appropriate for, and successful at, their specific missions, these programs do not at present provide a comprehensive view of ground-water quality in the State of California.

T1  - Concentrations and Loads of Suspended Sediment and Nutrients in Surface Water of the Yakima River Basin, Washington, 1999-2000 - With an Analysis of Trends in Concentrations
AN  - 19936949; 6261623
AB  - In 1991, the U.S. Congress began to appropriate funds to the USGS to conduct the National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program. In 2001, the NAWQA Program entered its second decade of investigations and an intensive reassessment of water conditions was begun to determine trends, based on 10 years of comparable monitoring data collected at selected streams and ground-water sites. The Yakima River Basin assessment is one of two special studies activated in 1999 for the purpose of piloting study techniques for use in NAWQA's second decade of investigations. Specifically, the Yakima River Basin assessment piloted techniques to (1) monitor trends in surface water, (2) evaluate transport of agricultural chemicals to streams, and (3) assess the possible effects of agricultural chemicals from irrigated farmland on stream ecosystems. The Yakima River Basin assessment builds upon monitoring data that the NAWQA Program collected previously in the basin from 1987 through 1991, as part of pilot studies conducted before full Program implementation in 1991. These data provided a baseline characterization of pesticides, nutrients, trace elements, suspended solids, and aquatic life in streams.

T1  - Microbial and Dissolved Organic Carbon Characterization of Stormflow in the Santa Ana River at Imperial Highway, Southern California, 1999-2002
AN  - 19936337; 7293820
AB  - The Santa Ana River drains about 2,670 square miles of densely populated coastal southern California, near Los Angeles. Almost all the flow in the river, more than 200,000 acre-feet annually, is diverted to ponds where it infiltrates and recharges underlying aquifers pumped to supply water for more than 2 million people. Base flow in the river is almost entirely treated municipal wastewater discharged from upstream treatment plants and, in the past, stormflow was considered a source of high-quality water suitable for use as a source of ground-water recharge that would dilute poorer quality water recharged during base flow. Stormflow in the Santa Ana River at the Imperial Highway diversion contains coliform bacteria concentrations and fecal indicator bacteria concentrations, including fecal coliforms, The purpose of this study was to measure changes in the concentration of total coliforms and fecal indicator bacteria in the Santa Ana River during stormflow.

T1  - Evaluation of Diazinon and Chlorpyrifos Concentrations and Loads, and Other Pesticide Concentrations, at Selected Sites in the San Joaquin Valley, California, April to August, 2001
AN  - 19931634; 6261669
AB  - Twelve sites in the San Joaquin Valley of California were monitored weekly during the growing and irrigation season of 2001 for a total of 51 pesticides and pesticide degradation products, with primary interest on the concentration, load, and basin yield of organophosphorus insecticides, especially diazinon and chlorpyrifos. Diazinon was detected frequently, up to 100 percent of the time, at many of the sampling sites, but with generally low concentrations. Other pesticides that were frequently detected during this study included herbicides such as metolachlor, simazine, and trifluralin, and insecticides such as carbaryl, carbofuran, and propargite. At Orestimba Creek, DDE, a degradation product of DDT, was detected at a frequency of 95 percent.

T1  - Diffusion and Drive-Point Sampling to Detect Ordinance-Related Compounds in Shallow Ground Water Beneath Snake Pond, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, 2001-02
AN  - 19931380; 6261673
AB  - Diffusion and drive-point sampling was used by the USGS, in cooperation with the Army National Guard Bureau, in 2001-02 to determine if ground water containing ordnance-related compounds from various military ranges at Camp Edwards on the Massachusetts Military Reservation was discharging to Snake Pond. The diffusion samplers were constructed with cellulose membranes that allow diffusion of RDX, HMX, and other explosive compounds into the samplers. The 130 diffusion samplers were buried into the pond- bottom sediments by scuba divers along 13 transects and allowed to equilibrate with shallow ground water beneath the pond for 13-27 days before retrieval. Ground-water samples were collected from temporary well points driven into the pond bottom at 21 sites and analyzed for explosives and perchlorate. Four explosive compounds were detected in diffusion samplers at five widely spaced sites, but the detected compounds did not include RDX or MHX and generally are not found in the ground water near the ranges.

T1  - Possible Sources of Nitrate in Ground Water at Swine Licensed- Managed Feeding Operations in Oklahoma, 2001
AN  - 19931353; 6261654
AB  - Samples collected and analyzed by the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry from 1999 to 2001 determined that nitrate exceeded the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency maximum contaminant level for public drinking-water supplies of 10 milligrams per liter as nitrogen in 79 monitoring wells at 35 swine licensed-managed feeding operations (LMFO) in Oklahoma. The LMFOs are located in rural agricultural settings where long-term agriculture has potentially affected the ground-water quality in some areas. Land use prior to the construction of the LMFOs was assessed to evaluate the types of agricultural land use within a 500-meter radius of agricultural land use within a 500-meter radius of the sampled wells. Chemical and microbiological techniques were used to determine the possible sources of nitrate in water sampled from 10 wastewater lagoons and 79 wells. Samples were analyzed for dissolved major ions, dissolved trace elements, dissolved nutrients, nitrogen isotope ratios of nitrate and ammonia, wastewater organic compounds, and fecal coliform bacteria. Bacteria ribotyping analysis was done on selected samples to identify possible specific animal sources.

T1  - Lithologic Coring in the Lower Anacostia Tidal Watershed, Washington, D.C., July 2002
AN  - 19931345; 6261469
AB  - Little is known about the volumetric flux of ground water to the lower tidal Anacostia River, or whether ground-water flow is an important component of the contaminant load in this part of the Anacostia River. The watershed is in the eastern part of Washington, D.C., and has been subjected to over 200 years of urbanization and modifications of the river channel and nearby land areas. These anthropogenic factors, along with tidal fluctuations in the river, make groundwater data collection and interpretations difficult. The U.S. Geological Survey is cooperating with the District of Columbia Department of Health, Environmental Health Administration, Bureau of Environmental Quality, Water Quality Division, in a study to assess nonpoint- source pollution from ground water into the lower tidal Anacostia River. Lithologic cores from drilling activities conducted during July 2002 in the study area have been interpreted in the context of geologic and hydrogeologic information from previous studies in the lower Anacostia tidal watershed. These interpretations can help achieve the overall project goals of characterizing ground- water flow and contaminant load in the study area.

T1  - Shallow-Ground-Water Quality in Agricultural Areas of Northern Alabama and Middle Tennessee, 2000-2001
AN  - 19928436; 6261688
AB  - This report describes the quality of shallow ground water collected in the spring of 2000 and 2001 from monitoring wells installed near agricultural areas in the Eastern Highland Rim of the LTEN study area. Soil properties, hydrogeology, and land-use data in the area near the monitoring wells are evaluated to determine the principal factors that affect the occurrence of nitrate and pesticides. The occurrence and distribution of nitrate and pesticides in the Mississippian carbonate aquifer are put into a broader context by comparing the results from other NAWQA agricultural land-use studies across the Nation. The nitrate and pesticide data in this study also are compared to data from a network of predominantly domestic wells sampled in 1999 to characterize the effect of agricultural land use on the quality of drinking water in the aquifer.

T1  - Phosphorus in a Ground-Water Contaminant Plume Discharging to Ashumet Pond, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, 1999
AN  - 19928348; 6261637
AB  - The discharge of a plume of sewage contaminated ground water emanating from the Massachusetts Military Reservation to Ashumet Pond on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, has caused concern about excessive loading of nutrients, particularly phosphorus, to the pond. The U.S. Air Force is considering remedial actions to mitigate potentially adverse effects on the ecological characteristics of the pond from continued phosphorus loading. Concentrations as great as 3 milligrams per liter of dissolved phosphorus (as P) are in ground water near the ponds shoreline; concentrations greater than 5 milligrams per liter of phosphorus are in ground water farther upgradient. Temporary drive-point wells were used to collect water samples from 2 feet below the pond bottom to delineate concentration distributions in the pore waters of the pond-bottom sediments. Measurements in the field of specific conductance and colorimetrically determined orthophosphate concentrations provided real-time data to guide the sampling.

T1  - Ground-Water Quality Beneath Irrigated Agriculture in the Central High Plains Aquifer, 1999-2000
AN  - 19926809; 6261692
AB  - This report describes the quality of recently recharged ground water beneath irrigated agricultural land in the central High Plains aquifer. Thirty water-quality monitoring wells were installed in proximity to irrigated fields in areas where depth to water was less than 200 feet. The 30 wells had short (generally 10 feet) well screens that were installed near the water table. The wells were sampled once between February 1999 and September 2000 and analyzed for approximately 100 constituents including major dissolved ions, nutrients (compounds of nitrogen and phosphorus), nitrogen isotopes, pesticides and pesticide metabolites, tritium, and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Land use within about 500 meters of each well was characterized, and correlations between ground-water quality and the overlying land-use were explored.

T1  - Development of Health-Based Screening Levels for Use in State- or Local-Scale Water-Quality Assessments
AN  - 19926747; 6261636
AB  - This report describes the methodologies used to develop Health Based Screening Level (HBSL) concentrations and ranges for unregulated compounds in State- and local-scale analyses, and discusses how HBSL values can be used as tools in water-quality assessments. Comparisons of measured water concentrations with Maximum Contaminant Level values and HBSL values require that water-quality data be placed in the proper context, with regard to both hydrology and human health. The use of these HBSL concentrations and ranges by USGS will increase by 27 percent the number of NAWQA contaminants for which health-based benchmarks are available for comparison with USGS-WATER-quality data.

T1  - Comparion Between Agricultural and Urban Ground-Water Quality in the Mobile River Basin, 1999-2001
AN  - 19926086; 6261677
AB  - The Black Warrior River aquifer is a major source of public water supply in the Mobile River Basin. The aquifer outcrops trends northwest-southeast across Mississippi and Alabama. A relatively thin shallow aquifer overlies and recharges the Black Warrior River aquifer in the flood plains and terraces of the Alabama, Coosa, Black Warrior, and Tallapoosa Rivers. Ground water in the shallow aquifer and the Black Warrior River aquifer is susceptible to contamination due to the effects of land use. Groundwater quality in the shallow aquifer and the shallow subcrop of the Black Warrior River aquifer, underlying an agricultural and an urban area, is described and compared.

T1  - Occurrence and Temporal Variability of Methyl tert-ButylEther (MTBE) and Other Volatile Organic Compounds in Select Sources of Drinking Water: Results of the Focused Survey
AN  - 19926038; 6261639
AB  - The large-scale use of the gasoline oxygenate methyl tert- butyl ether (MTBE), and its high solubility, low soil absorption, and low biodegradability, has resulted in its detection in ground water and surface water in many places throughout the United States. Studies by numerous researchers, as well as many State and local environmental agencies, have discovered high levels of MTBE in soils and ground water at leaking underground gasoline-storage- tank sites and frequent occurrence of low to intermediate levels of MTBE in reservoirs used for both public water supply and recreational boating. In response to these findings, the American Water Works Association Research Foundation sponsored an investigation of MTBE and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the Nation's sources of drinking water. The goal of the investigation was to provide additional information on the frequency of occurrence, concentration, and temporal variability of MTBE and other VOCs in source water used by community water systems (CWSs).

T1  - Probability of Detecting Elevated Concentrations of Nitrate in Ground Water in a Six-County Area of South Central Idaho
AN  - 19925523; 6261696
AB  - The main purpose of this report is to document the construction and verification of a map showing the probability of detecting elevated nitrate concentrations in ground water in south- central Idaho. A GIS was utilized to examine relations between elevated nitrate in ground water and hydrogeologic and anthropogenic factors. The data set consisted of 1,365 ground- water samples collected from 1991 to 2001. This report also documents the construction of three GIS layers--a nitrogen input layer, a ground-water velocity layer, and a depth-to-water--layer used to construct the probability map. Logistic regression was used to develop the statistical model that predicts the probability of detecting elevated nitrate concentrations in ground water.

T1  - Changes in Nutrient and Pesticide Concentrations in Urban and Agricultural Areas of the South Platte River Basin, Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska, 1994-2000
AN  - 19925496; 6261635
AB  - As part of the National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) monitored two sites on the main-stem South Platte River- an urban site in Denver and a mixed urban/agricultural site near Kersey-to determine changes in nutrient and pesticide concentrations from 1994 through 2000. Concentrations of nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, and orthophosphorus decreased at the Denver site during the study period, likely due to an increase in in stream dilution of wastewater-treatment plant (WWTP) discharge and upgrades at the WWTPs. In contrast, only concentrations of orthophosphorus decreased at the Kersey site; agricultural inputs between Denver and Kersey may have offset the observed decreases in other nutrients upstream.

T1  - Reactive-Transport Simulation of Phosphorus in the Sewage Plume at the Massachusetts Military Reservation, Cape Cod, Massachusetts
AN  - 19924650; 6261655
AB  - The subsurface transport of phosphorus introduced by the disposal of treated sewage effluent to ground-infiltration disposal beds at the Massachusetts Military Reservation on western Cape Cod was simulated with a three-dimensional reactive-transport model. The simulations were used to estimate the load of phosphorus transported to Ashumet Pond during operation of the sewage-treatment plant-from 1936 to 1995-and for 60 years following cessation of sewage disposal. The model accounted for spatial and temporal changes in water discharge from the sewage- treatment plant, ground-water flow, transport of associated chemical constituents, and a set of chemical reactions, including phosphorus sorption on aquifer materials, dissolution and precipitation of iron- and manganese-oxyhydroxide and iron phosphate minerals, organic carbon sorption and decomposition, cation sorption, and irreversible denitrification.

T1  - Aresnic and Metal Loads and Source Areas in the Middle Fork Warm Springs Creek Watershed, Jefferson County, Montana, June 2001
AN  - 19922952; 6261610
AB  - A constituent-loading study was conducted in the Middle Fork Warm Springs Creek watershed during low-flow conditions in late June 2001 to quantify arsenic and metal loads at various points in order to identify predominant source areas. Loads were calculated for 55 main stem and inflow sites using stream-flow data and concentrations of arsenic and metals determined for synoptic sampling. Knowledge of the locations and relative importance of sources of arsenic and metals can aid resources managers in planning effective and cost-efficient remediation activities.

T1  - Water Quality and Streamflow Gains and Losses of Osage and Prairie Creeks, Benton County, Arkansas, July 2001
AN  - 19919334; 6261681
AB  - Osage and Prairie Creeks in Benton County, Arkansas were studied between July 24 and July 26, 2001 to describe the surface- water quality and the streamflow gains and losses along sections of each mainstem. The creeks are located in Northwestern Arkansas. Water-quality samples were collected at 12 surface-water sites on the mainstem and at 6 points of inflow for Osage Creek, and at 9 surface-water sites on the mainstem and at 4 points of inflow for Prairie Creek. Water-quality analyses were performed by Rogers Water Utilities and the Arkansas Water Resources Laboratory. Streamflow measurements were made along the mainstem of each creek and at points of inflow (prior to confluence with the mainstem) to identify gaining and losing reaches.

T1  - National Survey of Methyl tert-Butyl Ether and Other Volatile Organic Compounds in Drinking-Water Sources: Results of the Randon Survey
AN  - 19919200; 6261650
AB  - Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) was detected in source water used by 8.7 percent of randomly selected community water systems (CWSs) in the United States at concentrations that ranged from 0.2 to 20 micrograms per liter (micrograms/L). The Random Survey conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and the Oregon Health and Science University, was designed to provide an assessment of the frequency of detection, concentration, and distribution of MTBE, three other ether gasoline oxygenates, and 62 other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ground- and surface- water sources used for drinking-water supplies. The Random Survey was the first of two components of a national assessment of the quality of source water supplying CWSs sponsored by the American Water Works Association Research Foundation. A total of 954 CWSs were selected for VOC sampling from the population of nearly 47,000 active, self-supplied CWSs in all 50 States, Native American Lands, and Puerto Rico based on a statistical design that stratified on CWS size (population served), type of source water (ground and surface water), and geographic distribution (State).

T1  - Seasonal and Spatial Variability of Pesticides in Streams of the Upper Tennessee River Basin, 1996-99
AN  - 19919160; 6261649
AB  - The purpose of this report is to describe the seasonal and spatial variability of pesticides in streams in the UTEN. This report is based on two sets of data: one set of 362 samples collected at 13 fixed surface-water sampling sites in the UTEN from March 1996 through June 1999, and a separate set of 61 samples collected at additional stream sites throughout the UTEN during the springs and summers of 1996, 1997, and 1998. Water samples were analyzed for 77 pesticides and 8 pesticide- degradation byproducts. Evaluation of water-quality conditions in the UTEN included analyses of the presence and spatial distribution of pesticides and analyses of variations of detection frequencies and concentrations of pesticides in surface waters as related to land use, pesticide use, and seasonal changes.

T1  - Reconnaissance of Mercury in Lakes, Wetlands, and Rivers in the Red River of the North Basin, North Dakota, March Through August 2001
AN  - 19891576; 6261638
AB  - Devils Lake rose dramatically during the 1990's, causing extensive flood damages. Because of the potential for continued flooding, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been conducting studies to evaluate the feasibility of constructing and operating an outlet from Devils Lake. The occurrence of mercury in lakes, wetlands, and rivers and the potential for increased loading of mercury into the Sheyenne River as a result of a Devils Lake outlet needed to be evaluated as part of the studies. Sixteen lake, wetland, and river sites in the Devils Lake, Sheyenne River, Red River of the North, and Red Lake River Basins were sampled and analyzed for mercury constituents and other selected properties and constituents relevant to mercury aquatic chemistry. For the lake and wetland sites, whole-water methylmercury concentrations ranged from less than 0.04 to 3.53 nanograms per liter and whole- water total mercury concentrations ranged from 0.38 to 7.02 nanograms per liter. Conditions favorable for methylation of mercury generally exist at the lake and wetland sites, as indicated by larger dissolved methylmercury concentrations in near- bottom samples than in near-surface samples and by relatively large ratios of methylmercury to total mercury (generally greater than 10 percent for the summer sampling period). Total mercury concentrations were larger for the summer sampling period than for the winter sampling period for all lake and wetland sites. A wetland site in the upper Devils Lake Basin had the largest mercury concentrations for the lake and wetland sites.

AB  - The purpose of the report is to describe nutrient concentration in shallow ground water (wells 30 meters deep or less) beneath relatively undeveloped areas to determine background conditions relative to agricultural and urban lands. The report emphasizes nitrate because it is the predominant nutrient in ground waters sampled as part of NAWQA land-use studies. The report also describes variations in nitrate concentration in shallow ground water caused by differences in land cover in relatively undeveloped areas.

T1  - Relation of Periphyton and Benthic Invertebrate Communities to Environmental Factors and Land Use at Selected Sites in Part of the Upper Mississippi River Basin, 1996-98
AN  - 19821835; 6261685
AB  - The Upper Mississippi River Basin is one of the hydrologic systems selected for study by the National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program of the U.S. Geological Survey. NAWQA utilizes a multi-disciplinary approach to explain factors that affect water quality. Part of the NAWQA design addresses the relation of land use and environmental factors to periphyton and benthic invertebrate communities in streams. This report focuses on a 122,000 square kilometer area of the Mississippi River Basin, including the Twin Cities metropolitan area (TCMA). The northeastern part of the study areas is forested, the southwestern part is agricultural, and the central part is transitional between forest and agriculture. Sampling sites were selected based on a process that identified small streams in predominantly forested, agricultural and urban settings, and major tributaries. Periphyton and benthic invertebrate communities were evaluated at each site. Compared to the forested site, periphyton density and biovolume in small streams generally increased as nutrient concentrations associated with urban and agricultural land use increased. Periphyton communities varied within agricultural and urban streams, indicating that physical and chemical factors other than land use also affect periphyton communities. Benthic invertebrate communities also are affected by land use and associated stream habitat.

T1  - Biosolids, Soils, and Ground-Water, and Streambed-Sediment Data for a Biosolids-Application Area Near Deer Trail, Colorado, 1999
AN  - 19702508; 7292757
AB  - In January 1999, the U.S. Geological Survey began an expanded monitoring program near Deer Trail, Colorado, in cooperation with the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District and the North Kiowa Bijou Groundwater Management District. Monitoring components were biosolids, soils, crops, ground water, and streambed sediments. The monitoring program addresses concerns from the public about chemical effects from applications of biosolids to farmland in the Deer Trail, Colorado, area. Constituents of primary concern to the public are arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, zinc, plutonium, and gross alpha and beta activity and are included for all monitoring components. This report presents chemical data from the first year of the monitoring program, January December 1999, for biosolids, soils, alluvial and bedrock ground water, and streambed sediments. The groundwater section of this report also includes climate data, lithologic descriptions, well-completion diagrams, water levels, summary statistics for the water-quality data, and results of statistical testing of selected data for trends and for exceedance of Colorado regulatory standards. Data in this report provide a geochemical baseline for each monitoring component prior to the planned water transfer in 2000 from the Lowry Landfill Superfund site to Metro Wastewater Reclamation District treatment facilities. Since 1993, the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District (MWRD) has been applying biosolids resulting from municipal sewage treatment in Denver, Colo., to MWRD property near Deer Trail, Colo.

AB  - The Water Resources Discipline of the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with State, Federal, and other local governmental agencies, obtains a large amount of data pertaining to the water resources of Arkansas each year. These data, accumulated during many water years, constitute a valuable database for developing an improved understanding of the water resources of the State. Water resources data reported for the 2003 water year for Arkansas consist of records of discharge and water quality (physical measurements and chemical concentrations) of streams, water quality of lakes, and ground-water levels and ground-water quality. Data from selected sites in Louisiana, Missouri and Oklahoma also are included. This report contains daily discharge records for 108 surface-water gaging stations, 76 peak-discharge partial-record stations, 9 stage-only stations, water-quality data for 73 surfacewater stations and 17 wells, and water levels for 15 observation wells. Additional water data were collected at various sites, not part of the systematic data-collection program, and are published as miscellaneous measurements.

T1  - Distribution and Sources of Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Woods Inlet, Lake Worth, Fort Worth, Texas, 2003
AN  - 19578517; 7293822
AB  - Woods Inlet is a flooded stream channel on the southern shore of Lake Worth along the western boundary of Air Force Plant 4 in Fort Worth, Texas, where elevated polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) concentrations in sediment were detected in a previous study. In response, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Air Force, conducted a study in 2003 map the extent of elevated PCB concentrations in Woods Inlet and to identify possible sources (or more specifically, source areas) of PCBs in the watershed of Woods Inlet. Three gravity cores (penetration to pre-reservoir sediment at three sites) and 17 box cores (surficial bottom sediment samples) were collected in Woods Inlet. Suspended sediment in stormwater runoff and streambed sediment were sampled in tributaries to Woods Inlet following storms. Assemblages of PCB congeners in surficial inlet sediments and suspended and streambed sediments were analyzed to indicate sources of PCBs the inlet sediments on the basis of chemical signatures of PCBs. Woods Inlet receives runoff primarily from three tributaries: (1) Gruggs Park Creek, (2) the small unnamed creek that drains a Texas National Guard maintenance facility, called TNG Creek for this report, and (3) Meandering Road Creek. Twenty-seven of 209 possible PCB congeners were analyzed. The sum of the congeners was used as a measure of total PCB. The spatial distribution of total PCB concentrations in the inlet indicates that most PCBs are originating in the Meandering Road Creek watershed. Peak total PCB concentrations in the three gravity cores occurred at depths corresponding to sediment deposition dates of about 1960 for two of the cores and about 1980 for the third core. The magnitudes of peak total PCB concentrations in the gravity cores followed a spatial distribution generally similar to that of surficial bottom sediment concentrations. Total PCB concentrations in suspended and streambed sediment varied greatly between sites and indicated a likely source of PCBs associated with a sampling site that receives runoff from Air Force Plant 4.

T1  - Simulated Interaction Between Freshwater and Saltwater and Effects of Ground-Water Pumping and Sea-Level Change, Lower Cape Cod Aquifer System, Massachusetts
AN  - 19578039; 7293819
AB  - The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the National Park Service, Massachusetts Executive Office of Environmental Affairs, Cape Cod Commission, and the Towns of Eastham, Provincetown, Truro, and Wellfleet, began an investigation in 2000 to improve the understanding of the hydrogeology of the four freshwater lenses of the Lower Cape Cod aquifer system and to assess the effects of changing ground-water pumping, recharge conditions, and sea level on ground-water flow in Lower Cape Cod, Massachusetts. A numerical flow model was developed with the computer code SEAWAT to assist in the analysis of freshwater and saltwater flow. Model simulations were used to determine water budgets, flow directions, and the position and movement of the freshwater/saltwater interface.

T1  - Simulation of Streamflow and Estimation of Streamflow Constituent Loads in the San Antonio River Watershed, Bexar County, Texas, 1997-2001
AN  - 19575990; 7290806
AB  - This report describes the calibration of a Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) watershed model used to simulate streamflow during 1997-2001 for the basins that compose the San Antonio River watershed in Bexar County. Also described is the use of HSPF-simulated streamflow with water-quality data collected in the area to estimate streamflow constituent loads at the outlet of the study area. Constituent loads were estimated for dissolved solids, nitrate plus nitrite nitrogen, suspended solids, and total lead. Data collected during 1992-2002 at 35 sampling sites in Bexar County and adjacent areas and data from other sources were compiled and used to calibrate and test the model and to estimate constituent loads. The types of data-collection sites used in this study include rainfall, streamflow, pan evaporation, and water quality.

T1  - Preliminary Hydrodynamic Analysis of Landslide-Generated Waves in Tidal Inlet, Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska
AN  - 19444143; 7292793
AB  - A landslide block perched on the northern wall of Tidal Inlet, Glacier Bay National Park, has the potential to generate large waves in Tidal Inlet and the western arm of Glacier Bay if it were to fail catastrophically. Landslide-generated waves are a particular concern for cruise ships transiting through Glacier Bay on a daily basis during the summer months. The objective of this study is to estimate the range of wave amplitudes and periods in the western arm of Glacier Bay from a catastrophic landslide in Tidal Inlet. This study draws upon preliminary findings of a field survey by Wieczorek et al. (2003), and evaluates the effects of variations in landslide source parameters on the wave characteristics.

T1  - Bed-Sediment Grain-Size and Morphologic Data from Suisun, Grizzly, and Honker Bays, CA., 1998-2002
AN  - 19444121; 7292772
AB  - The USGS Place Based Studies Program for San Francisco Bay investigates this sensitive estuarine system to aid in resource management. As part of the inter-disciplinary research program, the USGS collected side-scan sonar data and bed-sediment samples from north San Francisco Bay to characterize bed-sediment texture and investigate temporal trends in sedimentation. The study area is located in central California and consists of Suisun Bay, and Grizzly and Honker Bays, sub-embayments of Suisun Bay. During the study (1998-2002), the USGS collected three side-scan sonar data sets and approximately 300 sediment samples. The side-scan data revealed predominantly fine-grained material on the bayfloor. We also mapped five different bottom types from the data set, categorized as featureless, furrows, sand waves, machine-made, and miscellaneous. We performed detailed grain-size and statistical analyses on the sediment samples. Overall, we found that grain size ranged from clay to fine sand, with the coarsest material in the channels and finer material located in the shallow bays. Grain- size analyses revealed high spatial variability in size distributions in the channel areas. In contrast, the shallow regions exhibited low spatial variability and consistent sediment size over time.

T1  - Water-Quality Data for Najavo National Monument, Northeastern Arizona 2001-02
AN  - 19444063; 7292725
AB  - Water-quality data are provided for six sites in Navajo National Monument in northeastern Arizona. These data describe the current water quality and provide baseline water-quality information for monitoring future trends. Water samples were collected from six sites near three ancient Indian ruins during September 2001 to August 2002. Two springs and one well are near Betatakin Ruin, one spring is near Keet Seel Ruin, and one spring and one stream are near Inscription House Ruin. Water from all the sites is from the N aquifer, a regional sandstone aquifer that is the source of drinking water for most members of the Navajo Nation and Hopi Tribe in northeastern Arizona. Concentrations of dissolved solids, major ions, trace elements, and uranium were low at the six sites.

T1  - Estimates of Deep Percolation Beneath Native Vegetation, Irrigated Fields, and the Amargosa-River Channel, Amargosa Desert, Nye County, Nevada
AN  - 19443824; 7292747
AB  - The presence and approximate rates of deep percolation beneath areas of native vegetation, irrigated fields, and the Amargosa- River channel in the Amargosa Desert of southern Nevada were evaluated using the chloride mass-balance method and inferred downward velocities of chloride and nitrate peaks. Estimates of deep-percolation rates in the Amargosa Desert are needed for the analysis of regional ground-water flow and transport. An understanding of regional flow patterns is important because ground water originating on the Nevada Test Site may pass through the area before discharging from springs at lower elevations in the Amargosa Desert and in Death Valley. Nine boreholes 10 to 16 meters deep were cored nearly continuously using a hollow-stem auger designed for gravelly sediments. Two boreholes were drilled in each of three irrigated fields in the Amargosa-Farms area, two in the Amargosa-River channel, and one in an undisturbed area of native vegetation. Data from previously cored boreholes beneath undisturbed, native vegetation were compared with the new data to further assess deep percolation under current climatic conditions and provide information on spatial variability. The profiles beneath native vegetation were characterized by large amounts of accumulated chloride just below the root zone with almost no further accumulation at greater depths. This pattern is typical of profiles beneath interfluvial areas in arid alluvial basins of the southwestern United States, where salts have been accumulating since the end of the Pleistocene. The profiles beneath irrigated fields and the Amargosa-River channel contained more than twice the volume of water compared to profiles beneath native vegetation, consistent with active deep percolation beneath these sites. Chloride profiles beneath two older fields (cultivated since the 1960s) as well as the upstream Amargosa-River site were indicative of long-term, quasi-steady deep percolation. Chloride profiles beneath the newest field (cultivated since 1993), the downstream Amargosa-River site, and the edge of an older field were indicative of recently active deep percolation moving previously accumulated salts from the upper profile to greater depths.

T1  - Primary Causes of Wetland Loss at Madison Bay, Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana
AN  - 19443783; 7292719
AB  - Water depths, marsh surface elevations, and correlative stratigraphic markers in 10 sediment cores from Madison Bay in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana provide a basis for estimating the magnitudes and rates of marsh erosion and land subsidence at one of the best known wetland loss hotspots in coastal Louisiana. Results of this field study show that water about 1 m deep now covers former marshes in Madison Bay. About two thirds of the permanent flooding was caused by rapid subsidence that occurred in the late 1960s, whereas the other third was caused by subsequent erosion of the delta plain marsh. Subsidence rates near Madison Bay estimated independently by other investigators from buried peats, recent marsh surface measurements, and tide gauge records clearly show that subsidence rates since the 1960s (approximately 23 mm/yr) are an order of magnitude greater than geological subsidence rates averaged for the past 400 to 4000 yrs (approximately 2 mm/yr). Wetland losses in the Mississippi delta plain accelerated rapidly in the 1960s, peaked in the 1970s, and then began to decline. Physical and biogeochemical processes identified previously as major contributors to wetland loss cannot easily explain these historical patterns. There are, however, close temporal and spatial correlations among regional wetland loss, high subsidence rates, and large-volume fluid production from nearby oil and gas fields. The recent decreased rates of wetland loss may be related to decreased rates of subsidence caused by significantly decreased rates of subsurface fluid withdrawal.

T1  - Selected Effects of the Conservation Reserve Program on Program Participants: A Report to Survey Respondents
AN  - 19443771; 7292714
AB  - In the summer of 2001, we drew a random sample of 2,212 persons holding active Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts across all USDA Farm Production Regions because we wanted information from people intimately familiar with the program's effects on their land and communities, we did not send surveys to contracts held in the name of trusts, banks, or other non-personal ownership (49 contracts). To carry out the survey, we followed a dependable step-by-step process designed to maximize the quality and quantity of responses for mail surveys (Dillman 1978, 2000). As a result, the overall response rate for the survey was 65%. Of the 35% who did not respond, only 1% (29 people) formally refused to participate. We were able to summarize the survey results nationally and by USDA Farm Production Region.

T1  - Geographic Information System Tool to Solve Regression Equations and Estimate Flow-Frequency Characteristics of Vermont Streams
AN  - 19443695; 7292745
AB  - Estimates of the magnitude and frequency of streamflow are needed to safely and economically design bridges, culverts, and other structures in or near streams. These estimates also are used for managing floodplains, identifying flood-hazard areas, and establishing flood-insurance rates, but may be required at ungaged sites where no observed flood data are available for streamflow- frequency analysis. This report describes equations for estimating flow-frequency characteristics at ungaged, unregulated streams in Vermont.

T1  - Methods of Analysis by the U.S. Geological Survey Organic Geochemistry Research Group: Determination of Acetamide Herbicides and Their Degradation Products in Water Using Online Solid-Phase Extraction and Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry
AN  - 19443681; 7292744
AB  - An analytical method for the determination of 6 acetamide herbicides (acetochlor, alachlor, dimethenamid, flufenacet, metolachlor, and propachlor) and 16 of their degradation products in natural water samples using solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry is described in this report. Special consideration was given during the development of the method to prevent the formation of degradation products during the analysis. Filtered water samples were analyzed using octadecylsilane as the solid-phase extraction media on online automated equipment followed by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. The method uses only 10 milliliters of sample per injection. Three different water-sample matrices, a reagent-water, a ground-water, and a surface-water sample spiked at 0.10 and 1.0 microgram per liter, were analyzed to determine method performance.

T1  - Dissolved Pesticide Concentrations Detected in Storm-Water Runoff at Selected Sites in the San Joaquin River Basin, California, 2000-2001
AN  - 19443635; 7292732
AB  - As part of a collaborative study involving the United States Geological Survey Toxics Substances Hydrology Project (Toxics Project) and the University of California, Davis, Bodega Marine Laboratory (BML), water samples were collected at three sites within the San Joaquin River Basin of California and analyzed for dissolved pesticides. Samples were collected during, and immediately after, the first significant rainfall (greater than 0.5 inch per day) following the local application of dormant spray, organophosphate insecticides during the winters of 2000 and 2001. All samples were collected in conjunction with fish-caging experiments conducted by BML researchers. Sites included two locations potentially affected by runoff of agricultural chemicals (San Joaquin River near Vernalis, California, and Orestimba Creek at River Road near Crows Landing, California), and one control site located upstream of pesticide input (Orestimba Creek at Orestimba Creek Road near Newman, California). During these experiments, fish were placed in cages and exposed to storm runoff for up to ten days. Following exposure, the fish were examined for acetylcholinesterase concentrations and overall genetic damage. Water samples were collected throughout the rising limb of the stream hydrograph at each site for later pesticide analysis. Concentrations of selected pesticides were measured in filtered water samples using solid-phase extraction (SPE) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) at the U.S. Geological Survey organic chemistry laboratory in Sacramento, California. Results of these analyses are presented.

T1  - Method of Analysis by the U.S. Geological Survey California District Sacramento Laboratory: Determination of Dissolved Organic Carbon in Water by High Temperature Catalytic Oxidation, Method Validation, and Quality-Control Practices
AN  - 19443302; 7292737
AB  - An analytical method has been developed for the determination of dissolved organic carbon concentration in water samples. This method includes the results of the tests used to validate the method and the quality-control practices used for dissolved organic carbon analysis. Prior to analysis, water samples are filtered to remove suspended particulate matter. A Shimadzu TOC- 5000A Total Organic Carbon Analyzer in the nonpurgeable organic carbon mode is used to analyze the samples by high temperature catalytic oxidation. The analysis usually is completed within 48 hours of sample collection. The laboratory reporting level is 0.22 milligrams per liter.

T1  - Reconnaissance-Level Assessment of Water Quality near Flandreau, South Dakota
AN  - 19443261; 7292730
AB  - This report presents water-quality data that have been compiled and collected for a reconnaissance-level assessment of water quality near Flandreau, South Dakota. The investigation was initiated as a cooperative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe. Members of the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe have expressed concern that Tribal members residing in the city of Flandreau experience more health problems than the general population in the surrounding area. Prior to December 2000, water for the city of Flandreau was supplied by wells completed in the Big Sioux aquifer within the city of Flandreau. After December 2000, water for the city of Flandreau was supplied by the Big Sioux Community Water System from wells completed in the Big Sioux aquifer along the Big Sioux River near Egan, about 8 river miles downstream of Flandreau. There is some concern that the public and private water supplies provided by wells completed in the Big Sioux aquifer near the Big Sioux River may contain chemicals that contribute to the health problems.

T1  - Streamflow Characteristics for Selected Stations In and Near the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison Nationl Forests, Southwestern Colorado
AN  - 19442886; 7292741
AB  - The U.S Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison National Forests, began a study in 2000 to develop selected streamflow characteristics for 60 streamflow- gaging stations in and near the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison National Forests. The study area is located in southwestern Colorado within the Gunnison River, Dolores River, and Plateau Creek Basins, which are tributaries of the Colorado River. In addition to presenting the compiled daily, monthly, and annual discharge data for the 60 stations, the report presents tabular and graphical results for the following computed stream- flow characteristics: (1) Instantaneous peak-flow frequency; (2) flow duration for daily mean discharges on an annual (water year) basis and on a monthly basis, and flow duration for the annual and monthly mean discharges; (3) low-flow and high-flow frequency of daily mean discharges for periods of 1, 3, 7, 15, 30, 60, 120, and 183 consecutive days; and (4) annual and monthly mean and median discharges for each year and month of record, and frequency of the annual and monthly mean and median discharges. All discharge data and results from the streamflow-characteristics analyses are presented in Microsoft Excel work-books.

T1  - Work Plan for Determining the Occurrence of Glyphosate, Its Transformation Product AMPA, Other Herbicide Compounds, and Antibiotics in Midwestern United States Streams, 2002
AN  - 19442689; 7292742
AB  - Changes in herbicide use in the Midwestern United States have been substantial over the last 5 years. Most significant is a tripling in the use of glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)glycin). Over this same time period (1997-2001), atrazine use increased by 20 percent and acetochlor use increased by 10 percent, while cyanazine use decreased by 99 percent, alachlor use decreased by 70 percent, and metolachlor use decreased by 55 percent. Previous studies have documented that herbicide flushes occur in midwestern streams during runoff events for several weeks to several months following application, and that herbicide concentrations in mid- western streams during flushing events are related to rates of herbicide use. The objective of this study is to determine the distribution of glyphosate and its primary transformation product aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) in mid-western streams during post-application and harvest-season runoff events. Water samples will be collected in 2002 during two post-herbicide-application runoff events and one harvest-season runoff event from 53 sites on streams in the Midwestern United States. All samples will be analyzed at the U.S. Geological Survey Organic Geochemistry Research Laboratory in Lawrence, Kansas, for glyphosate and 20 other herbicides.

T1  - Near-Field Receiving Water Monitoring of a Benthic Community Near the Palo Alto Water Quality Control Plant in South San Francisco Bay: February 1974 through December 2002
AN  - 19442633; 7292722
AB  - Analyses of the benthic community structure over a 28-year period show that changes in the community have occurred concurrent with reduced concentrations of metals in the sediment and in the tissues of the biosentinal clam Macoma balthica from the same area. The community has shifted from being dominated by several opportunistic species to a community where the species are more similar in abundance, a pattern that could be indicative of a more stable community that is subjected to less stress. In addition, two of the opportunistic species (Ampelisca abdita and Streblospio benedicti) that brood their young and live on the surface of the sediment in tubes have shown a continual decline in dominance coincident with the decline in metals. Heteromastus filiformis, a subsurface polychaete worm that lives in the sediment, consumes sediment and organic particles residing in the sediment, and reproduces by laying their eggs on or in the sediment has shown a concurrent increase in dominance. These changes in species dominance reflect a change in the community from one dominated by surface dwelling, brooding species to one with species with varying life history characteristics. Analysis of the reproductive activity of Macoma balthica shows increases in reproductive activity concurrent with the decline in metal concentrations in the tissue of this organism. Reproductive activity is presently stable with almost all animals reproducing during the two reproductive seasons (spring and fall) of most years. These findings are consistent with findings previously reported for the 1974 through 2000 period.

T1  - Water-Quality Data for Selected Wells in New Jersey and New York, 1996- 98
AN  - 19442587; 7292758
AB  - Water-quality data were collected during 1996-98 for 217 wells in New Jersey and 3 wells in New York as part of the U. S. Geological Survey's National Water Quality Assessment Program. Samples were collected for five ground-water surveys that were designed to assess water quality in major aquifer systems, with an emphasis on recently recharged (shallow) ground water associated with present and recent human activities. This report (1) summarizes the hydrogeologic framework in the areas of data collection; (2) describes the objectives and procedures for designing each ground-water survey; (3) summarizes the procedures and protocols for data collection, analysis, and quality control; and (4) lists the concentrations of inorganic constituents, volatile organic compounds, pesticides, nutrients, and trace elements present in the ground-water samples.

T1  - Coastal Circulation and Sediment Dynamics Along West Maui, Hawaii. Part I. Long-Term Measurements of Currents, Temperature, Salinity and Turbidity off Kahana, West Maui: 2001-2003
AN  - 19442552; 7292780
AB  - Long-term (15 months), high-resolution measurements of currents, water levels, temperature, salinity and turbidity were made off West Maui, Hawaii, in 2001-2003 to better understand coastal dynamics in coral reef habitats. Measurements were made through the emplacement of a series of bottom-mounted instruments deployed in water depths less than 10 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 learn how currents and water column properties such as water temperature, salinity and turbidity in the vicinity of nearshore coral reef systems vary over the course of a year. 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 first in a series of three, describes data acquisition, processing and analysis. Subsequent reports will provide data and results on the spatial structure of currents, temperature, salinity and suspended sediment along West Maui (PART II), and flow and coral larvae and sediment dynamics during the 2003 summer spawning season (PART III).

T1  - Hydrogeologic Factors That Influence Ground Water Movement in the Desert Southwest United States
AN  - 19442549; 7292768
AB  - A project to study ground-water and surface-water interactions in the desert southwestern United States was initiated in 2001 by the Tucson, Arizona office of the Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). One of the goals of the Southwest Ground- water Resources Project was to develop a regional synthesis that includes the use of available digital geologic data, which is growing rapidly due to the increasing use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Included in this report are the digital maps and databases of geologic information that should have a direct impact on the studies of ground-water flow and surface- water interaction. Ground-water flow is governed by many geologic factors or elements including rock and soil permeability, stratigraphy and structural features. These elements directly influence ground-water flow, which is key to understanding the possible inter-connectivity of aquifer systems in desert basins of the southwestern United States. We derive these elements from the evaluation of regional geology and localized studies of hydrogeologic basins. These elements can then be applied to other unstudied areas throughout the desert southwest. This report presents a regional perspective of the geologic elements controlling ground-water systems in the desert southwest that may eventually lead to greater focus on smaller sub-regions and ultimately, to individual ground-water basins.

T1  - Preliminary Analyses for Perchlorate in Selected Natural Materials and Their Derivative Products
AN  - 19442539; 7292765
AB  - Increasing concern about sources of perchlorate contamination in ground and surface waters has led to interest in identifying potential sources of natural perchlorate and products derived from these natural sources. To date, most perchlorate found in ground and surface waters has been attributed to its major uses as an oxidizer in solid propellants for rockets, in fireworks and other explosives, and a variety of other uses of man-made perchlorate salts. However, perchlorate found in the soils, surface water, and ground water of some locations cannot be linked to an anthropogenic source. This paper contains preliminary data on the detection and non-detection of perchlorate in a variety of natural materials and their products, including some fertilizer materials. These data were previously presented at two conferences; once in poster session and once orally (Harvey and others, 1999; Orris and others, 2000).

T1  - U.S. Geological Survey Streamflow and Observation-Well Network in Massachusetts and Rhode Island
AN  - 19442521; 7292733
AB  - The U.S. Geological Survey began systematic streamflow monitoring in Massachusetts nearly 100 years ago (1904) on the Connecticut River at Montague City. Since that time, hydrologic data collection has evolved into a monitoring network of 103 streamgage stations and 200 ground-water observation wells in Massachusetts and Rhode Island (2000 water year). Data from this network provide critical information for a variety of purposes to Federal, State, and local government agencies, engineering consultants, and the public. The uses of this information have been enhanced by the fact that about 70 percent of the streamgage stations and a small but increasing number of observation wells in Massachusetts and Rhode Island have been equipped with digital collection platforms that transmit data by satellite every 4 hours. Twenty-one of the telemetered streamgage stations are also equipped with precipitation recorders. The near real-time data provided by these stations, along with historical data collected at all stations, are available over the Internet at no charge. The monitoring network operated during the 2000 water year was summarized and evaluated with respect to spatial distribution, the current uses of the data, and the physical characteristics associated with the monitoring sites. This report provides maps that show locations and summary tables for active continuous record streamgage stations, discontinued record streamgage stations, discontinued streamgage stations, and observation wells in each of the 28 major basins identified by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Environmental Affairs and five of the major Rhode Island basins.

T1  - Water-Quality Data for Walnut Canyon and Wupatki National Monuments, Arizona 2001-02
AN  - 19442494; 7292724
AB  - Water-quality data are provided for four sites in Walnut Canyon and Wupatki National Monuments in north-central Arizona. These data describe the current water quality and provide baseline water-quality information for monitoring future trends. Water samples were collected from a ground-water seep and well in Walnut Canyon and from a spring and a river in Wupatki during September 2001 to September 2002. Water from the four sites is from four different sources. In Walnut Canyon, Cherry Canyon seep is in a shallow local aquifer, and the headquarters well is in a deep regional aquifer. In Wupatki, Heiser Spring is in a shallow local aquifer, and the Little Colorado River contains ground-water discharge from several aquifers and runoff from a 22,000 square- mile drainage area.

T1  - MODFLOW-2000 Ground-Water Model: User Guide to the Subsidence and Aquifer-System Compaction (SUB) Package
AN  - 19442490; 7292723
AB  - This report documents a computer program, the Subsidence and Aquifer-System Compaction (SUB) Package, to simulate aquifer- system compaction and land subsidence using the U.S. Geological Survey modular finite-difference ground-water flow model, MODFLOW- 2000. The SUB Package simulates elastic (recoverable) compaction and expansion, and inelastic (permanent) compaction of compressible fine-grained beds (interbeds) within the aquifers. The deformation of the interbeds is caused by head or pore- pressure changes, and thus by changes in effective stress, within the interbeds. If the stress is less than the preconsolidation stress of the sediments, the deformation is elastic; if the stress is greater than the preconsolidation stress, the deformation is inelastic. The propagation of head changes within the interbeds is defined by a transient, one-dimensional (vertical) diffusion equation. This equation accounts for delayed release of water from storage or uptake of water into storage in the interbeds. Properties that control the timing of the storage changes are vertical hydraulic diffusivity and interbed thickness. The SUB Package supersedes the Interbed Storage Package (IBS1) for MODFLOW, which assumes that water is released from or taken into storage with changes in head in the aquifer within a single model time step and, therefore, can be reasonably used to simulate only thin interbeds.

T1  - Aquifer Susceptibility in Virginia: Data on Chemical and Isotopic Composition, Recharge Temperature, and Apparent Age of Water from Wells and Springs, 1998-2000
AN  - 19442488; 7292729
AB  - The determination of aquifer susceptibility to contamination from near-surface sources by the use of ground-water dating techniques is a critical part of Virginia's Source Water Assessment Program. As part of the Virginia Aquifer Susceptibility study, water samples were collected between 1998 and 2000 from 145 wells and 6 springs in various hydrogeologic settings across the Commonwealth. Samples were analyzed to determine water chemistry- including nitrate (NO3), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and radon- 222 (222Rn), major dissolved and noble gases-nitrogen (N2), argon (Ar), oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), helium (He), and neon (Ne), environmental tracers- chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), tritium (3H), and tritium /helium-3 (3H/3He), carbon isotopes-carbon-14 (14C) and carbon-13 (a13C), and stable isotopes of oxygen (a18O) and hydrogen (a2H). The chemical and isotopic composition, recharge temperatures, and apparent ages of these water samples are presented in this report. Data collected between 1999 and 2000 from 18 wells in Virginia as part of two other studies by the U.S. Geological Survey also are presented. Most of the sites sampled serve as public water supplies and are included in the comprehensive Source Water Assessment Program for the Commonwealth.

T1  - LakeVOC: A Deterministic Model to Estimate Volatile Organic Compound Concentrations in Reservoirs and Lakes
AN  - 19442462; 7292721
AB  - This report documents LakeVOC, a model to estimate volatile organic compound (VOC) concentrations in lakes and reservoirs. LakeVOC represents the lake or reservoir as a two-layer system and estimates VOC concentrations in both the epilimnion and hypolimnion. The air-water flux of a VOC is characterized in LakeVOC in terms of the two-film model of air-water exchange. LakeVOC solves the system of coupled differential equations for the VOC concentration in the epilimnion, the VOC concentration in the hypolimnion, the total mass of the VOC in the lake, the volume of the epilimnion, and the volume of the hypolimnion. A series of nine simulations were conducted to verify LakeVOC representation of mixing, dilution, and gas exchange characteristics in a hypothetical lake, and two simulations were conducted to verify LakeVOC estimates of VOC concentrations in an actual reservoir under environmental conditions. These 11 simulations showed that LakeVOC correctly handled mixing, dilution, and gas exchange and adequately estimated VOC concentrations within the epilimnion in an actual reservoir with daily input parameters. As the parameter- input time scale increased (from daily to weekly to monthly, for example), the differences between the measured-averaged concentrations and the model-estimated concentrations generally increased, especially for the hypolimnion. This may be because as the time scale is increased from daily to weekly to monthly, the averaging of model inputs may cause a loss of detail in the model estimates.

T1  - Bathymetric and Geophysical Surveys of Englebright Lake, Yuba- Nevada Counties, California
AN  - 19441912; 7292792
AB  - Harry L. Englebright Lake (Englebright Lake) is a 9-mile-long (14-kilometer) reservoir located in the Sierra Nevada foothills of northern California on the Yuba River gorge known as The Narrows. The reservoir is impounded by Englebright Dam, a concrete arch structure spanning 348 meters (1,142 feet) across and 79 meters (260 feet) high. The dam was constructed in 1941 for the primary purpose of trapping sediment derived from anticipated hydraulic mining operations in the Yuba River watershed. Hydraulic mining in the Sierra Nevada was halted in 1884 but resumed on a limited basis until the 1930's under the regulation of the California Debris Commission. Although no hydraulic mining in the upper Yuba River watershed resumed after the construction of the dam, the historical mine sites continued to contribute sediment to the river. Today, Englebright Lake is used primarily for recreation and hydropower. In 2001 and 2002, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted bathymetric, geophysical, geophysical, and geological studies of the reservoir under the auspices of the Upper Yuba River Studies Program (UYRSP), a multi-disciplinary investigation into the feasibility of introducing anadromous fish species to the Yuba River system upstream of Englebright Dam. A primary purpose of these studies was to assess the quantity and nature of the sediment that has accumulated behind the dam over the past 60 years. This report presents the results of those surveys, including a new bathymetric map of the reservoir and estimates of the total accumulated sediment volume.

T1  - Regional Sediment Budget of the Columbia River Littoral Cell, USA. Analysis of Bathymetric- and Topographic-Volume Change
AN  - 19441846; 7292713
AB  - In this Open-File Report we present calculations of changes in bathymetric and topographic volumes for the Grays Harbor, Willapa Bay, and Columbia River entrances and the adjacent coasts of North Beach, Grayland Plains, Long Beach, and Clatsop Plains for four intervals: pre-jetty - 1920s (Interval 1), 1920s - 1950s (Interval 2), 1950s - 1990s (Interval 3), and 1920s 1990s (Interval 4). This analysis is part of the Southwest Washington Coastal Erosion Study (SWCES), the goals of which are to understand and predict the morphologic behavior of the Columbia River littoral cell on a management scale of tens of kilometers and decades. We obtain topographic Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) data from a joint project by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA), and the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) and bathymetric data from the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), USGS, and the DOE. Shoreline data are digitized from T-Sheets and aerial photographs from the USC&GS and National Ocean Service (NOS). Instead of uncritically adjusting each survey to NAVD88, a common vertical land-based datum, we adjust some surveys to produce optimal results according to the following criteria.

T1  - Debris-Flow Hazards Caused by Hydrologic Events at Mount Rainier, Washington
AN  - 19441355; 7292767
AB  - This report discusses potential hazards from debris flows induced by hydrologic events such as glacial outburst floods and torrential rain at Mount Rainier and the surrounding area bounded by Mount Rainier National Park. The report also shows, in the accompanying hazard-zonation maps, which areas are likely to be at risk from future such debris flows at Mount Rainier. Lahar hazards related to avalanches of altered rock and to the interactions of hot rock and ice during eruptions are discussed in Scott and Vallance (1995) and Hoblitt et al. (1998) and are not addressed in this report.

T1  - Biomass and Vegetative Characteristics of Sawgrass Grown in a Tilting Flume as Part of a Study of Vegetative Resistance to Flow
AN  - 19441271; 7292711
AB  - The U.S. Geological Survey is studying vegetative resistance to flow in the south Florida Everglades as part of a multidisciplinary effort to restore the South Florida Ecosystem. In order to test the flow resistance of sawgrass, one of the dominant species in the Everglades, uniform, dense stands of sawgrass were grown in the tilting flume at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. Depth of water in the flume was controlled by adding or removing metal plates at the downstream end of the flume. A series of experiments were conducted at various flow depths, and the velocity, flow depth, and water-surface slope were measured. During each set of experiments, the sawgrass was sampled in layers from the sediment water interface for vegetative characteristics, biomass, and leaf area index. The results of the vegetation sampling are summarized in a series of tables.

AB  - The purpose of this Open-File Report is to provide the raw field data from this investigation. Interpretation of this data will be reported in future publications. The field data were tabulated into a computer spreadsheet program. The spreadsheet file is available upon request from the author and it is suggested that it be obtained for any use of the data. The data will be used to characterize the geologic and geometric properties of fracture networks and fault zones related to episodes of tectonism, volcanism, and magmatism that occurred in the various rock units from Precambrian though Tertiary times. Characteristics of these structures will likely provide insight into the potential affects that they may have on the present-day hydrogeology of the northwestern Red River ground-water basin and watershed.

T1  - Preliminary Analysis of Cores from North San Francisco Bay, California: Project Description and Example of Data Sets
AN  - 19440806; 7292783
AB  - During the mid-to late-1800's, large quantities of tailings from hydraulic gold mining in the Sierra Nevada were deposited in San Francisco Bay. This rapid deposition also choked river systems and deposited mercury-contaminated mercury contaminated sediments in the rivers and Bay. Hydraulic mining was stopped in 1884 by a California Supreme Court decision. Deposition in the Bay slowed in the late 1800's and early 1900's as a result of this decrease in sediment supply. During the mid-1900's, sediment supply was further reduced by water works projects (dams, diversions, etc.), creating an erosional system in the study area by the late 1900's. The re-working of these sediments poses environmental and biological concerns regarding mercury in the bay. The location of these deposits is important for understanding the health of the bay waters.

T1  - Methods for Quality-Assurance Review of Water-Quality Data in New Jersey
AN  - 19440783; 7292759
AB  - This report is an instructional and reference manual that describes methods developed and used by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), New Jersey District, to assure the accuracy and precision of the results of analyses of surface- and ground-water samples received from analyzing laboratories and, ultimately, to ensure the integrity of water-quality data in USGS databases and published reports. A statistical-analysis computer program, COMP.PPL, is used to determine whether the values reported by the laboratories are internally consistent, whether they are reasonable when compared with values for samples previously collected at the same site, and whether they exceed applicable drinking-water regulations. The program output consists of three files -- QWREVIEW, QWOUTLIERS, and QWCALC. QWREVIEW presents the results of tests of chemical logic and shows values that exceed drinking-water regulations. QWOUTLIERS identifies values that fall outside the historical range of values for the site sampled. QWCALC shows values and calculations used for reference purposes.

T1  - Remediation Control Strategies and Cost Data for an Economic Analysis of a Mercury Total Maximum Daily Load in California
AN  - 19440768; 7292752
AB  - Regional Water Quality Control Board staffs are given the challenging task of developing total maximum daily loads (TMDL) for numerous watersheds. The complexity of mercury fate and transport, speciation, and biological consequences does not make this job easier. Applying cost estimates for mercury remediation projects complicates the situation even further. However, compiling information on past, current, and proposed projects reveals some insights into general categories of types of remediation costs. Numerous mercury technologies, reduction programs, and remediation techniques provide a clearer vision of the types of activities that public or private entities can do to reduce the risk of mercury contamination and the associated costs of these activities. Gold and mercury mine remediation, mercury reduction programs, sediment management, and ecosystem restoration projects are all possible solutions with certain advantages and disadvantages. Agencies have to decide which priorities are more important when assessing a potential remediation project, area, technique, and activity. This report focuses on the costs that are associated with a suite of PS and NPS remedial strategies that are applicable to mercury sources for use as a resource in developing an economic analysis for mercury TMDLs in California. These costs are for past, current, and proposed remedial projects comprising of project development, environmental compliance, permit approval, cleanup, construction, and other transaction costs. The purpose of the report is to illustrate the general costs associated with various remedial practices that are applicable to mercury sources in California.

T1  - Assessment of Habitat and Streamflow Requirements for Habitat Protection, Usquepaug - Queen River, Rhode Island, 1999-2000
AN  - 19440763; 7292715
AB  - This report describes the stream habitats, summer water temperatures, and fish communities of the Usquepaug-Queen River, and determines streamflows necessary to maintain aquatic habitat in the Usquepaug-Queen River for the summer period. The study area includes the mainstem and tributaries of the Usquepaug-Queen River upstream from Route 2 in South Kingstown. The report describes results of assessments of stream habitat, fish communities, and stream temperature conducted in 1999 and 2000 for the Usquepaug- Queen River and its tributaries, and compares streamflow requirements determined by means of the Tennant, Wetted-Perimeter, and R2Cross methods to flow-management targets developed by means of the Range of Variability Approach (RVA). Streamflow requirements were determined at seven riffle sites: three on the mainstem Usquepaug-Queen River, and four on the Fisherville Brook and Locke Brook tributaries, and in the headwaters of the Queen River.

T1  - Hydrogeologic Data from a Shallow Flooding Demonstration Project, Twitchell Island, California, 1997-2001
AN  - 19440726; 7292740
AB  - Data were collected during a study to determine the effects of continuous shallow flooding on ground-water discharge to an agricultural drainage ditch on Twitchell Island, California. The conceptual model of the hydrogeologic setting was detailed with soil coring and borehole-geophysical logs. Twenty-two monitoring wells were installed to observe hydraulic head. Ten aquifer slug tests were done in peat and mineral sediments. Ground-water and surface-water temperature was monitored at 14 locations. Flow to and from the pond was monitored through direct measurement of flows and through the calculation of a water budget. These data were gathered to support the development of a two-dimensional ground-water flow model. The model will be used to estimate subsurface discharge to the drainage ditch as a result of the pond. The estimated discharge will be used to estimate the concentrations of DOC that can be expected in the ditch.

T1  - Computational Technique and Performance of Transient Inundation Mode for Rivers: 2 Dimensional (TRIM2RD): A Depth- Averaged Two-Dimensional Flow Model
AN  - 19440698; 7292739
AB  - A numerical computer model, Transient Inundation Model for Rivers 2 Dimensional (TrimR2D), that solves the two-dimensional depth-averaged flow equations is documented and discussed. The model uses a semi-implicit, semi-Lagrangian finitedifference method. It is a variant of the Trim model and has been used successfully in estuarine environments such as San Francisco Bay. The abilities of the model are documented for three scenarios: uniform depth flows, laboratory dam-break flows, and large-scale riverine flows. The model can start computations from a dry bed and converge to accurate solutions. Inflows are expressed as source terms, which limits the use of the model to sufficiently long reaches where the flow reaches equilibrium with the channel. The data sets used by the investigation demonstrate that the model accurately propagates flood waves through long river reaches and simulates dam breaks with abrupt water-surface changes.

T1  - Preliminary Assessment of Microbial Communities and Biodegradation of Chlorinated Volatile Organic Compounds in Wetlands at Cluster 13, Lauderick Creek Area, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland
AN  - 19429732; 6261665
AB  - The purpose of this report is to (1) present the results of microbial community analyses of surficial wetland sediment samples from the Cluster 13, Lauderick Creek area, and (2) provide a preliminary assessment of the chlorinated VOC biodegradation processes and rates in the wetlands of the Lauderick Creek area using the collected microbial community data and existing ground- water data for this area. The microbial community and biodegradation in wetlands of the Lauderick Creek and West Branch Canal Creek areas are compared. Sediment samples for microbial community analyses were collected three times from the Lauderick Creek area (December 2001, April 2002, and June 2002). Microbial community analyses for the Lauderick Creek wetland sediments are compared to similar analyses conducted for the West Branch Canal Creek wetland area during 19992000 (Lorah and others, 2003). An initial evaluation of the biodegradation processes and potential for use of wetlands for ground-water remediation of VOCs in the Lauderick Creek area is given using available data for the Lauderick Creek area (General Physics Corporation, July 1999) and the West Branch Canal Creek area (Lorah and others, 1997; Lorah and others, 2003).

T1  - Suspended-Sediment Concentration and Pool Sedimentation Data for the Gibbon River, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, September 2000 through October 2001
AN  - 19426837; 6261473
AB  - This report presents data on streamflow, suspended sediment concentration, geomorphic measurements of pools, and particle-size distribution of surficial bed material, collected along a 5 mile reach of the Gibbon River in Yellowstone National Park. The study was done in cooperation with the National Park Service. The Park Service was concerned about the potential effects that road reconstruction would have on water quality. A streamflow-gaging station and two automatic pumping samplers were installed in September 2000 to collect suspended sediment samples. The gage and samplers were operated seasonally from March through September 2001. The geomorphic survey of pools and sampling of bed material occurred during October 2000.

T1  - Coastal Circulation and Sediment Dynamics Along West Maui, Hawaii. Part II: 2003 Hydrographic Survey Cruises A-3-03-HW and A- 4-03-HW Report on the Spatial Structure of Currents, Temperature, Salinity, and Turbidity along Western Maui
AN  - 19420673; 6261501
AB  - Two multi-day hydrographic survey cruises were conducted to acquire spatially extensive, high-resolution three-dimensional measurements of currents, temperature, salinity and turbidity were made off West Maui in the winter and summer of 2003 to better understand coastal dynamics in coral reef habitats. 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 cruises was to collect hydrographic data to better constrain the nature of how currents and water column properties such as water temperature, salinity and turbidity in the vicinity of nearshore coral reef systems vary over relatively large (approx. 20 km) spatial scales. 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 second in a series of three, describes data acquisition, processing and analysis.

T1  - Diatom Data from Bradley Lake, Oregon: Downcore Analyses
AN  - 19420625; 6261470
AB  - Displaced marine diatoms provide biostratigraphic evidence for tsunami inundation at Bradley Lake, a small freshwater lake on the south-central Oregon coast. During the past 7,200 years, fine- grained lacustrine deposits in the deep axis of the lake were disturbed 17 times by the erosion and emplacement of coarse- grained gyttja and, in some cases, sand. By identifying diatoms in closely spaced core samples, we determined that 13 of the 17 events (termed 'disturbance events') record prehistoric tsunamis in Bradley Lake. We consider the evidence strong for 11 events, based on numbers and diversity of marine taxa: De1, De2, De4, De5, De6, De7, De8, De11, De12, De13, and De17. The evidence is less compelling for an additional 2 events (De9 and De10), although tsunami inundation is likely. Finally, we identified 4 events (De3, De14, De15 and De16) in which there were no marine diatoms to support tsunami inundation, although stratigraphic data shows that the lake bottom was disturbed. Freshwater diatoms dominate throughout the Bradley Lake record, showing that the lake has remained a freshwater habitat throughout its existence. However, anomalous occurrences of three species of brackish diatoms (Thalassiosira bramaputrae, Cyclotella meneghiniana, and Mastogloia smithii) may be evidence for short-lived periods of slightly elevated salinities in the lake following De16, De13, De12, De11, De9, De8, and De5. With the exception of De12, increased abundances of one or more of the brackish species is coincident with decreased numbers of freshwater diatoms. A temporary rise in salinity, as evidenced by short-lived increases in abundances of brackish species and decreases in abundances of freshwater species, is consistent with tsunami inundation into the lake.

T1  - User's Manual for the National Water-Quality Assessment Program Invertebrate Data Analysis System (IDAS) Software: Version 3. National Water-Quality Assessment Program
AN  - 19419763; 6261500
AB  - The purpose of this report is to provide information on the use and capabilities of the Invertebrate Data Analysis System (IDAS) software. This User's Manual explains how to acquire the software, load it onto a personal computer, and run the software. It discusses the relation between the NAWQA Program ecological database and the IDAS program, and provides instructions on how to use IDAS as a tool for exploring, analyzing, and exporting invertebrate data to other software programs. Though developed for processing invertebrate data downloaded from the NAWQA Program databases, the IDAS program will analyze any invertebrate data converted to the format specified in the User's Manual. Consequently, this program will be of value to non-USGS scientists looking for an efficient means of processing invertebrate data. The IDAS software was designed to provide a rapid, consistent, and efficient means of analyzing data stored in the NAWQA Program's Biological Transactional Database (Bio-TDB). The IDAS software was developed to help data analysts at the study-unit, regional, and national levels work either independently or in cooperation with one another, and it also facilitates the archiving of data analyses by providing procedures that automatically document the options used in the analyses. The IDAS software provides a set of standard, data-analysis procedures that are citable and that can be used by scientists within and outside of the USGS.

T1  - Tests of Subsurface Storage of Freshwater at Hialeah, Dade County, Florida, and Numerical Simulation of the Salinity of Recovered Water
AN  - 19416145; 6262208
AB  - The complete data set acquired at the Hialeah ASR site is presented in this report to describe hydrogeologic conditions in the Upper Floridan aquifer, to describe hydrogeologic processes occurring during the injection and recovery tests, and to support the approach used for the simulation analysis. Selected data from other locations on the East Coast are included to augment the description of Upper Floridan aquifer conditions and for a tentative delineation of an areally extensive flow zone used for ASR at some locations and for reverse-osmosis plant supply at other locations. The remainder of the report describes the use of solute-transport modeling techniques to further interpret data from the field study by simulating the transport of fresh water and brackish water during the injection and recovery cycles, and describes the use of the calibrated simulation for predictions of recovery efficiency under hypothetical operational conditions.

T1  - Summary of Suspended-Sediment Concentration Data, San Francisco Bay, California, Water Year 2001
AN  - 19416111; 6261486
AB  - Suspended-sediment concentration data were collected in San Francisco Bay during water year 2001 (October 1, 2000-September 30, 2001). Optical backscatterance sensors and water samples were used to monitor suspended sediment at two sites in Suisun Bay, three sites in San Pablo Bay, two sites in Central San Francisco Bay, and three sites in South San Francisco Bay. Sensors were positioned at two depths at most sites. Water samples were collected periodically and were analyzed for concentrations of suspended sediment. The results of the analyses were used to calibrate the electrical output of the optical backscatterance sensors so that a record of suspended-sediment concentrations could be derived. This report presents the data-collection methods used and summarizes the suspended-sediment concentration data collected from October 2000 through September 2001. Calibration curves and plots of edited data for each sensor also are presented.

T1  - Salinity and Temperature in South San Francisco Bay, California, at Dumbarton Bridge: Results from the 1999-2002 Water Years and an Overview of Previous Data
AN  - 17346967; 6261612
AB  - Salinity and temperature were measured in near-surface waters at Dumbarton Bridge in South San Francisco Bay during the 1999- 2002 water years (1999WY-2002WY). The complete data set from this site, which included 1990WY-1993WY and 1995WY-1998WY, provided a time-series of observations covering a wide range of hydrologic conditions. These conditions included critically dry years and years with above normal and near-record precipitation and discharges from the major rivers and local streams. Data collection at 15-minute intervals allowed resolution of variability associated with daily tides and other short-term phenomena. Both local stream discharges to South San Francisco Bay and Sacramento-San Joaquin River discharges to North San Francisco Bay affected salinity at Dumbarton Bridge. Salinity at Dumbarton Bridge varied with the daily tides, and the lowest salinity values (annual) coincided with precipitation and freshwater inflows usually in winter. Short-term and seasonal variations in temperature at Dumbarton Bridge typically followed changes in air temperature and solar irradiance.

AN  - 17344796; 6261704
AB  - Peak-flow characteristics for unregulated streams in Wyoming are described in this report. Frequency relations for annual peak flows through water year 2000 at 364 streamflow-gaging stations in and near Wyoming were evaluated and revised or updated as needed. Analyses of historical floods, temporal trends, and generalized skew were included in the evaluation. Physical and climatic basin characteristics were determined for each gaging station using a geographic information system. Gaging stations with similar peak- flow and basin characteristics were grouped into six hydrologic regions.

AB  - The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Geological Survey began a comprehensive, multidisciplinary evaluation-monitoring program in 1989 to assess the effectiveness of the Wisconsin Nonpoint Source Program. Hydrologic and water- quality data were collected at Brewery and Garfoot Creeks in 1984 and 1985 (pre-best-management practices (BMPs) period) and 1997 and 1998 (post-BMP period). In rural areas, best-management practices may include conservation tillage, contour strip- cropping, streambank protection, and various barnyard-runoff controls. Water-quality samples were collected during base flow and storms.

AN  - 17344396; 6261499
AB  - The presence and approximate rates of deep percolation beneath areas of native vegetation, irrigated fields, and the Amargosa- River channel in the Amargosa Desert of southern Nevada were evaluated using the chloride mass-balance method and inferred downward velocities of chloride and nitrate peaks. Estimates of deep-percolation rates in the Amargosa Desert are needed for the analysis of regional ground-water flow and transport. An understanding of regional flow patterns is important because ground water originating on the Nevada Test Site may pass through the area before discharging from springs at lower elevations in the Amargosa Desert and in Death Valley. Nine boreholes 10 to 16 meters deep were cored nearly continuously using a hollow-stem auger designed for gravelly sediments. Two boreholes were drilled in each of three irrigated fields in the Amargosa-Farms area, two in the Amargosa-River channel, and one in an undisturbed area of native vegetation. Data from previously cored boreholes beneath undisturbed, native vegetation were compared with the new data to further assess deep percolation under current climatic conditions and provide information on spatial variability. The profiles beneath native vegetation were characterized by large amounts of accumulated chloride just below the root zone with almost no further accumulation at greater depths. This pattern is typical of profiles beneath interfluvial areas in arid alluvial basins of the southwestern United States, where salts have been accumulating since the end of the Pleistocene. The profiles beneath irrigated fields and the Amargosa-River channel contained more than twice the volume of water compared to profiles beneath native vegetation, consistent with active deep percolation beneath these sites. Chloride profiles beneath two older fields (cultivated since the 1960s) as well as the upstream Amargosa-River site were indicative of long-term, quasi-steady deep percolation. Chloride profiles beneath the newest field (cultivated since 1993), the downstream Amargosa-River site, and the edge of an older field were indicative of recently active deep percolation moving previously accumulated salts from the upper profile to greater depths.

T1  - Preliminary Soil-Slip Susceptibility Maps, Southwestern California
AN  - 17344355; 6261495
AB  - This group of maps shows relative susceptibility of hill slopes to the initiation sites of rainfall-triggered soil slip- debris flows in southwestern California. As such, the maps offer a partial answer to one part of the three parts necessary to predict the soil-slip/debris-flow process. A complete prediction of the process would include assessments of 'where', 'when', and 'how big'. These maps empirically show part of the 'where' of prediction (i.e., relative susceptibility to sites of initiation of the soil slips) but do not attempt to show the extent of run out of the resultant debris flows. Some information pertinent to 'when' the process might begin is developed. 'When' is determined mostly by dynamic factors such as rainfall rate and duration, for which local variations are not amenable to long-term prediction. 'When' information is not provided on the maps but is described later in this narrative. The prediction of 'how big' is addressed indirectly by restricting the maps to a single type of landslide process - soil slip-debris flows. The susceptibility maps were created through an iterative process from two kinds of information. First, locations of sites of past soil slips were obtained from inventory maps of past events. Aerial photographs, taken during six rainy seasons that produced abundant soil slips, were used as the basis for soil slip-debris flow inventory. Second, digital elevation models (DEM) of the areas that were inventoried were used to analyze the spatial characteristics of soil slip locations. These data were supplemented by observations made on the ground. Certain physical attributes of the locations of the soil slip- debris flows were found to be important and others were not. The most important attribute was the mapped bedrock formation at the site of initiation of the soil slip. However, because the soil slips occur in surficial materials overlying the bedrocks units, the bedrock formation can only serve as a surrogate for the susceptibility of the overlying surficial materials.

T1  - Effects of Channel Changes on Geomorphic and Hydraulic Characteristics of the Canadian River Near Raton, New Mexico, 1965- 2000
AN  - 17338245; 6261708
AB  - Following a 500-year flood in June 1965, New Mexico Highway 555 was constructed in its present (2000) configuration through the Canadian River Valley. During road construction, the river was channelized over several reaches. A 20-year recurrence-interval flood in 1999 damaged several sections of roadway. This study examines how changes in channel morphology associated with channelization may have contributed to damage caused by the 1999 floods by examining how different cross-sectional channel morphologies contribute to the effects of small- (bankfull and flood-prone) and larger (20-year recurrence-interval) magnitude discharges. The results indicate that in channelized reaches, channels that may effectively accommodate small-magnitude floods may be ineffective at containing larger magnitude floods. In addition, the 1999 stream channel overall had deepened since 1965. This deepening was most pronounced upstream from the most flow restrictive of the channelized reaches.

T1  - Chemical Quality of Water, Sediment, and Fish in Mountain Creek Lake, Dallas, Texas, 1994-97
AN  - 17338184; 6261707
AB  - The occurrence, trends, and sources of numerous inorganic and organic contaminants were evaluated in Mountain Creek Lake, a reservoir in Dallas, Texas. The study, done in cooperation with the Southern Division Naval Facilities Engineering Command, was prompted by the Navy's concern for potential off-site migration of contaminants from two facilities on the shore of Mountain Creek Lake, the Naval Air Station Dallas and the Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant. Sampling of stormwater (including suspended sediment), lake water, bottom sediment (including streambed sediment), and fish was primarily in Mountain Creek Lake but also was in stormwater outfalls from the Navy facilities, nearby urban streams, and small streams draining the Air Station.

T1  - Conjunctive-Use Optimization Model of the Mississippi River Valley Alluvial Aquifer of Northeastern Arkansas
AN  - 17338128; 6261680
AB  - The purpose of this report is to describe the application and evaluation of a conjunctive-use optimization model (hereafter referred to as the optimization model) of the Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer of northeastern Arkansas. The optimization model was formulated as a linear program, and utilized a groundwater model developed for the study area by Reed (2003) as a basis for evaluation. The purpose of the optimization model was to: (1) determine maximum withdrawal rates from model cells at which groundwater withdrawals occurred in 1997 and (2) determine maximum withdrawal rates from model cells at stream locations while maintaining ground-water levels at or above specified levels and streamflow at or above specified rates.

T1  - Water Quality and the Effects of Changes in Phosphorus Loading to Muskellunge Lake, Vilas County, Wisconsin
AN  - 17337996; 6261627
AB  - Muskellunge Lake is a productive, eutrophic lake because of high nutrient loading. Historical data indicate that water quality has only slightly degraded since the early 1970s, possibly because of phosphorus input from effluent from septic systems. A detailed phosphorus budget for the lake indicated that most of the phosphorus comes from natural sources-ground water and surface water flowing through relatively undeveloped areas surrounding the lake. Modeling results indicated that the natural input of phosphorus was sufficient to maintain the lake's eutrophic condition.

T1  - Water Movement through Thick Unsaturated Zones Overylaying the Central High Plains Aquifer, Southwestern Kansas, 2000-2001
AN  - 17337343; 6261702
AB  - The role of irrigation as a driving force for water and chemical movement to the central High Plains aquifer is uncertain because of the thick unsaturated zone overlying the aquifer. Water potentials and profiles of tritium, chloride, nitrate, and pesticide concentrations were used to evaluate water movement through thick unsaturated zones overlying the central High Plains aquifer at three sites in southwestern Kansas. One site was located in rangeland and two sites were located in areas dominated by irrigated agriculture. In 2000-2001, the depth to water at the rangeland site was 50 meters and the depth to water at the irrigated sites was about 45.4 meters. Irrigation at the study sites began in 1955-56. Measurements of matric potential and volumetric water content indicate wetter conditions existed in the deep unsaturated zone at the irrigated sites than at the rangeland site. Total water potentials in the unsaturated zone at the irrigated sites systematically decreased with depth to the water table, indicating a potential existed for downward water movement from the unsaturated zone to the water table at those sites. At the rangeland site, total water potentials in the deep unsaturated zone indicate small or no potential existed for downward water movement to the water table.

T1  - External Quality-Assurance Results for the National Atmospheric Deposition Program/National Trends Network, 1997-99
AN  - 17337255; 6261686
AB  - Five external quality assurance programs were operated by the U.S. Geological Survey for the National Atmospheric Deposition Program /National Trends Network (NADP/NTN) during 1997 through 1999: the intersite-comparison program, the blind-audit program, the field-audit program, the interlaboratory-comparision program, and the collocated-sampler program. The intersite-comparison program assesses the accuracy of pH and specific-conductance determinations made by NADP/NTN site operators. In two 1997 intersite-comparison studies, 83.7 and 85.8 percent of the pH determinations met the NADP/NTN accuracy goals, whereas 97.3 and 92.4 percent of the specific-conductance determinations met the NADP/NTN accuracy goals. The percentage of pH and specific- conductance determinations that met the accuracy goals in 1998 were, for the most part, higher than in 1997.

T1  - Simulation of Advective Flow Under Steady-State and Transient Recharge Conditions, Camp Edwards, Massachusetts Military Reservation, Cape Cod, Massachusetts
AN  - 17337216; 6261651
AB  - This report describes and documents USGS ground-water-flow modeling activities in support of the ARNG investigations. Specifically, the report (1) discusses the use of steady-state, regional ground-water flow models to simulate advective transport of contaminants at Camp Edwards, (2) documents the develop and use of two steady-state, subregional models, and (3) documents the development and use of a transient regional model to evaluate the effect of time-varying recharge on advective transport. The report describes how the models were used to support ARNG investigations, including determination of monitoring well locations, identification of potential source areas, and delineation of areas contributing recharge to municipal wells. The report also highlights several modeling concepts that apply to simulating advective transport in unconfined aquifers, including the effects of model discretization on simulated advective transport near surface-water bodies and on simulated recharge areas to municipal wells, and the effects of time-varying recharge on advective transport, and how these effects vary within the aquifer.

T1  - Application of a Revised Local Government Annual Reporting System for Estimation of Non-Point Sourced Reductions in Agricultural Watersheds
AN  - 17337098; 6261706
AB  - The Minnesota Board and Water and Soil Resources uses an algorithm based system called LARS (Local government Annual Reporting System) to estimate the amount of non-point nutrients and sediment prevented from reaching the State's aquatic systems when new land-use best-management practices are applied. Since the initiation in 1995, LARS has not been updated. The Technical Advisory Committee reviewed significant findings since 1995 for incorporation into the LARS algorithm. These algorithms estimate the amount of sediment primarily phosphorus retained in a basin as a result of each best-management practice. The program was intended to be simple and small enough to be installed on computers used by local government offices in the mid-1990s. The most important update to the LARS algorithms was a more accurate sediment delivery ratio. The new sediment delivery ratio improved the accuracy of the LARS algorithms.

T1  - Potential for Saltwater Intrusion into the Lower Tamiami Aquifer near Bonita Springs, Southwestern Florida
AN  - 17337053; 6261695
AB  - The purpose of this report is to describe the results of numerical simulation procedures that represent the movement of saltwater in the lower Tamiami aquifer beneath Bonita Springs in southwestern Florida. Water-budget components were characterized and mathematically represented to help simulate ground-water flow and saltwater intrusion in the surficial aquifer system, which includes the lower Tamiami aquifer. A modular, three-dimensional, finite-difference, ground-water flow model was used to represent modern and seasonal stresses during March and September 1996 when ground-water levels are generally at their lowest and highest, respectively. Field data were collected and variable-density, ground-water flow simulations were performed to help identify mechanisms of saltwater intrusion of utmost concern and estimate the potential extent of saltwater intrusion in the lower Tamiami aquifer beneath Bonita Springs.

T1  - Development of Regional Curves of Bankfull-Channel Geometry and Discharge for Streams in the Non-Urban, Piedmont Physiographic Province, Pennsylvania and Maryland
AN  - 17336901; 6261626
AB  - Stream-restoration projects utilizing natural-stream designs frequently are based on the bankfull-channel characteristics of stream reaches that can accommodate streamflow and sediment transport without excessive erosion or deposition and lie within a watershed that has similar runoff characteristics. The bankfull channel at an ungaged impaired site or reference reach is identified by use of field indicators and is confirmed with tools such as regional curves. Channel dimensions were surveyed at 14 streamflow-measurement stations operated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in the Gettysburg-Newark Lowland Section, Piedmont Lowland Section, and the Piedmont Upland Section of the Piedmont Physiographic Province in Pennsylvania and Maryland.

T1  - Simulation of Ground-Water Flow in the Irwin Basin Aquifer System, Fort Irwin National Training Center, California
AN  - 17336847; 6261614
AB  - Ground-water pumping in the Irwin Basin at Fort Irwin National Training Center, California resulted in water-level declines of about 30 feet from 1941 to 1996. Since 1992, artificial recharge from wastewater-effluent infiltration and irrigation-return flow has stabilized water levels, but there is concern that future water demands associated with expansion of the base may cause a resumption of water-level declines. To address these concerns, a ground-water flow model of the Irwin Basin was developed to help better understand the aquifer system, assess the long-term availability and quality of ground water, and evaluate ground- water conditions owing to current pumping and to plan for future water needs at the base.

T1  - Alien Plant Species Threat Assessment and Management Prioritization for Sequoia-Kings Canyon and Yosemite National Parks
AN  - 17336683; 6261503
AB  - This document reports the results of alien species surveys at Sequoia-Kings Canyon and Yosemite national parks. It includes the findings of a comprehensive literature review of the biology and ecology of all alien plant species found during these surveys and the ranking of those species for prioritizing management and control programs. Surveys primarily targeted areas of human disturbance, such as campgrounds, corrals, developments, roads, trails and pastures. Alien species richness was compared across elevational gradients within the parks. To compare and contrast species composition among sites, an exploratory cluster analysis of the sites included in the species richness-by-elevation figures was conducted using ordination techniques. All alien species discovered during the directed surveys were grouped into one of four management priority categories based on their attributes, potential impacts, and geographical extent

T1  - Results of Test-Hole Drilling in Well-Field Areas North of Tampa, Florida
AN  - 17336615; 6261478
AB  - A total of 32 test holes were drilled in well-field areas of Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas Counties in the early 1970's to collect information on the hydraulic and geologic properties of shallow formations overlying the Upper Floridan aquifer. Lithologic profiles were compiled and geohydrologic units identified for each test hole. At most test holes, natural-gamma logs were run to identify the confining unit that separates the surficial aquifer system from the Upper Floridan aquifer. Selected core samples were analyzed in the laboratory for vertical hydraulic conductivity, grain size, sorting, specific gravity, effective porosity, cation-exchange capacity, and mineralogy. Following drilling, casing was installed in each test hole and water levels were monitored. The data were used in the preparation of regional water-level maps and in the construction of a numerical model of ground-water flow in the well-field areas.

T1  - Estimating Spatial Variability of Recharge in Southern New Jersey from Unsaturated-Zone Measurements
AN  - 17335654; 6261656
AB  - Spatial variability of recharge in southern New Jersey was studied by sampling the unsaturated zone at 48 sites distributed over approximately 930 square kilometers. Samples of unsaturated- zone sediment were collected during the summer and fall of 1996. Unsaturated flow was calculated using moisture-content data and estimates of conductivity and matric potential derived from sediment-size data. Matric forces were found to be important at about 70 percent of the sites despite the expectation that unsaturated flow in a humid climate is gravity driven. Upward water movement occurred at about 17 percent of the sites. The lower sediment layer at these sites consisted of sandy loam, indicating that upward movement can occur at depth only where the sediments are relatively fine-grained. At the other extreme, calculated flow at about 17 percent of the sites exceeded 250 centimeters per year. Because of the uncertainty inherent in unsaturated-flow calculations, the method provides only a scaling of recharge variability; however, the median calculated flow of 29.1 centimeters per year compares favorably with recharge estimates from previous water-budget studies. A map developed by spatial analysis of the recharge estimates identified an agricultural part of the study area where recharge was known to be low relative to recharge in other basins.

T1  - Development of Regression Equations to Estimate Flow Durations and Low-Flow-Frequency Statistics in New Hampshire Streams
AN  - 17335616; 6261648
AB  - This report describes the results of this study to determine the seasonal and annual 7-day, 2-year low-flow (7Q2) and 7-day, 10- year low-flow (7Q10) statistics and seasonal period-of-record and period-of-record streamflow-duration quantiles for the 60-, 70-, 80-, 90-, 95-, and 98-percent exceedences for gaged and ungaged drainage basins throughout New Hampshire from regression analyses relating basin and climatic characteristics to streamflow statistics. In addition, this report describes how the methods used to determine the flow statistics were developed and evaluated. Statistical methods are presented for estimating low- flow and flow-duration statistics for streams with natural flow condition (unregulated) in location where no streamflow data are available (ungaged sites), as well as for locations where data are available (gaged sites). An evaluation of the accuracy of the equations and limitations for their use also is provided along with an example application.

T1  - Estimating the Magnitude of the 100-Year Peak Flow in the Big Lost River at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, Idaho
AN  - 17335528; 6261618
AB  - The purpose of this report is to provide an estimate of the 100-year peak flow for the Big Lost River near the western boundary of the INEEL. The estimate was obtained by analyzing recorded and estimated peak-flow data, long-term gaging-station data, and documented conditions in the basin during historical high-flow periods. Some assumptions were made with regard to reservoir levels and antecedent basin conditions. Regression models that compared annual peak flows between successive upstream and downstream gaging stations for the same flow event and peak- flow attenuation values as a function of upstream peak flows were used to estimate the magnitude of the 100-year peak flow. The analysis integrated the cumulative effects of in-channel and bank storage, infiltration losses, and tributary inflows on the magnitude of peak flows for recurrence intervals that were presumed to be less than 100 years. Attenuation trends were extrapolated to predict attenuation effects on peak flows with an estimated recurrence interval of 100 years.

T1  - Sequence-Stratigraphic Analysis of the Regional Observation Monitoring Program (ROMP) 29A Test Corehole and Its Relation to Carbonate Porosity and Regional Transmissivity in the Floridan Aquifer System, Highlands County, Florida
AN  - 17335349; 6261480
AB  - An analysis was made to describe and interpret the lithology of a part of the Upper Floridan aquifer penetrated by the Regional Observation Monitoring Program (ROMP) 29A test corehole in Highlands County, Florida. This information was integrated into a onedimensional hydrostratigraphic model that delineates candidate flow zones and confining units in the context of sequence stratigraphy. Results from this test corehole will serve as a starting point to build a robust three-dimensional sequence- stratigraphic framework of the Floridan aquifer system.

T1  - Ground-Water Levels and Water-Quality Data for Wells in the Crumpton Creek Area near Arnold Air Force Base, Tennessee, November 2001 to January 2002
AN  - 17334546; 6261666
AB  - The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the U.S. Air Force, Arnold Air Force Base,conducted a study of the ground-water resources in the Crumpton Creek area from November 2001 to January 2002. The objectives of the study were (1) to advance understanding of the ground-water-flow system in the Crumpton Creek area, and (2) to determine whether VOCs in ground water from AAFB have affected private water supplies in the Crumpton Creek area. This report documents (1) water-level measurements made in 42 private wells and 82 existing monitoring wells and (2) water-quality analyses of samples collected from 68 private wells, 8 monitoring wells, and 1 cave located in the Crumpton Creek area. This study focused on sampling wells that were not included in previous sampling efforts conducted in the Crumpton Creek area near AAFB. The data will help to refine the potentiometric-surface map developed during a study of the regional ground-water-flow system by Mahoney and Robinson (1993). Results from the study may aid in the development of corrective measures and longterm monitoring plans for AAFB.

T1  - Simulation of Streamflow and Water Quality in the Brandywine Creek Subbasin of the Christina River Basin, Pennsylvania and Delaware, 1994-98
AN  - 17334527; 6261645
AB  - The Christina River Basin drains 565 square miles in Pennsylvania and Delaware. Water from the basin is used for recreation, drinking-water supply, and to support aquatic life. The Christina River Basin includes the major subbasins of Brandywine Creek, Red Clay Creek, White Clay Creek, and Christina River. The Brandywine Creek is the largest of the subbasins and drains an area of 327 square miles. Water quality in some parts of the Christina River Basin is impaired and does not support designated uses of the streams. A multi-agency water-quality management strategy included a modeling component to evaluate the effects of point and nonpoint-source contributions of nutrients and suspended sediment on streamwater quality. To assist in nonpoint-source evaluation, four independent models, one for each of the four main subbasins of the Christina River Basin, were developed and calibrated using the model code Hydrological Simulation ProgramFortran (HSPF). Water-quality data for model calibration were collected in each of the four main subbasins and in small subbasins predominantly covered by one land use following a nonpoint-source monitoring plan. Under this plan, stormflow and base-flow samples were collected during 1998 at six sites in the Brandywine Creek subbasin and five sites in the other subbasins.

T1  - Land Use on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii, 1998
AN  - 17334519; 6261703
AB  - A hierarchical land-use classification system for Hawaii was developed and land use on the island of Oahu was mapped in support of the U.S. Geological Survey National Water-Quality Assessment Program. The land-use classification system emphasizes agriculture, developed (urban), and barren/mining uses. Areas with other land uses (conservation, forest reserve, natural areas, wetlands, water, and barren (sand, rock or soil) regions, and unmanaged vegetation (native or exotic)) were defined as 'other.' Multiple sources of digital orthophotographs from 1998 and 1999 were used as source data.

T1  - Estimating Water Temperature in Small Streams in Western Oregon Using Neural Network Models
AN  - 17334469; 6261630
AB  - The study design included field-data collection and statistical analyses. Continuous water temperature, riparian habitat, and basin landscape-characteristics data were collected at 148 sites having relatively undisturbed riparian zones located throughout western Oregon during the summer of 1999 by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. Available meteorological hourly time series data collected at various locations around the study region also were assembled. Clustering analysis was performed on the overall data set to determine optimal subsets. Artificial neural network (ANN) models were developed based on data from the subsets. The models were tested and validated on a group of stream sites that were not included in the set used to create the models. The models also were used to simulate the effect of varying shade conditions on water temperatures. This report provides (1) a description of the data used to develop the water temperature models, (2) some background theory on ANN models, (3) a description of the model development, (4) examples of model application, and (5) a users guide for operating the models.

T1  - Summary of Extensometric Measurements in El Paso, Texas
AN  - 17334344; 6261684
AB  - Two counter-weighted-pipe borehole extensometers were installed on the left bank of the Rio Grande between El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juarez Chihuahua, Mexico in 1992. A shallow extensometer measures vertical compaction in the 6- to 100-meter aquifer-system depth interval. A deep extensometer measures vertical compaction in the 6- to 305-meter aquifer-system depth interval. Both extensometers are referenced to the same surface datum, which allows time-series differencing to determine vertical compaction in the depth interval between 100 and 305 meters.

T1  - Index of Ecological Integrity for the Mississippi Alluvial Plain Ecoregion: Index Development and Relations to Selected Landscape Variables
AN  - 17334296; 6261679
AB  - Macroinvertebrate community, fish community, water-quality, and habitat data collected from 36 sites in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain Ecoregion during 1996-98 by the U.S. Geological Survey were considered for a multimetric index of ecological integrity. Test metrics were correlated to site scores of a Detrended Correspondence Analysis of the fish community (the biological community that was the most statistically significant for indicating ecological conditions in the ecoregion) and six metrics-four fish metrics, one chemical metric (total ammonia plus organic nitrogen), and one physical metric (turbidity)-having the highest correlations were selected for the index. Index results indicate that sites in the northern half of the study unit (in Arkansas and Missouri) were less degraded than sites in the southern half of the study unit (in Louisiana and Mississippi). Of 148 landscape variables evaluated, the percentage of Holocene deposits and cotton insecticide use rates had the highest correlations to index of ecological integrity results. Sites having the highest (best) index scores had the lowest percentages of Holocene deposits and the lowest cotton insecticide use rates indicating that factors related to the amount of Holocene deposits and cotton insecticide use rates partially explain differences in ecological conditions throughout the Mississippi Alluvial Plain Ecoregion.

T1  - Long-Term Hydrologic Monitoring Protocol for Coastal Ecosystems
AN  - 17333738; 6261483
AB  - Long-term monitoring of hydrologic change using a standard data-collection protocol is essential for the effective management of terrestrial, aquatic, and estuarine ecosystems in the coastal park environment. This study develops a consistent protocol for monitoring changes in ground-water levels, pond levels, and stream discharge using methods and techniques established by the U.S. Geological Survey for use in the Long-term Coastal Monitoring Program at the Cape Cod National Seashore. The protocol establishes a hydrologic sampling network in the four ground-water- flow cells in the Seashore area, and provides justification for the measurement methods selected and for the spatial and temporal sampling frequency. Data collected during the first year of monitoring are included in this report; common hydrologic analyses such as hydrographs for ground-water and pond levels, and rating curves between stream stage and discharge for streamflow, are presented for selected sites. Long-term hydrologic monitoring at the Seashore will aid in interpretation of the findings of other monitoring programs. Developing and initiating long-term hydrologic monitoring programs will provide a better understanding of effects of natural and human-induced change at both the local and global scales on coastal water resources in park units.

T1  - Soil Organic Carbon on Lands of the Department of the Interior
AN  - 17333686; 6261471
AB  - The stocks of soil organic carbon (SOC) on the landscape are an important element in the global carbon cycle. Changes in soil carbon can change the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. If carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, captured through photosynthesis, is ultimately stored in the soil to an enhanced degree, the resulting soil carbon sequestration may help delay some of the undesirable consequences of global warming. If the conditions affecting the balance of photosynthesis and decomposition are changed to favor decomposition, then soil carbon can be released to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide or methane, contributing to greenhouse warming. The Department of the Interior (DOI) is the largest land management agency in the United States, with jurisdiction influencing more than 2 million square kilometers of land--about 22 percent of the total land area of the country. Estimates using available data indicate that the DOI lands have nearly 18 petagrams (Pg; 1 Pg = 10(15 sup) g = 1 gigaton) of SOC, which is about 22 percent of the estimate for the country (81 Pg). The distribution is not uniform, and few areas of DOI lands reflect 'average' conditions. Large areas of land with low biological productivity occur in the conterminous U.S. part of the DOI lands, and substantial areas with high SOC occur in Alaska. About 74 percent of the SOC on DOI lands is in Alaska. Details on amounts of SOC by DOI Bureau and location are shown in a series of tables and maps. For the conterminous United States, statistics are given by land cover type and soil depth ranges.

T1  - Assessment of Fish Assemblages and Minimum Sampling Effort Required to Determine Biotic Integrity of Large Rivers in Southern Idaho, 2002
AN  - 17333533; 6261697
AB  - This report characterizes fish assemblages collected for the USEPA's EMAP in southern Idaho and identifies the minimum sampling effort (minimum reach length) required to collect a sample population of fish representing the greatest percentage of species within a reach. The data were collected at 17 sites in large (fifth- through seventh-order) rivers during the summer (July 25 through October 2) of 2002. Fish assemblages were characterized using various metrics that have proven beneficial for evaluating water-quality conditions in Idaho rivers. Minimum sampling effort was assessed by comparing the relation between reach length and the number of species collected, total individuals collected, and final IBI scores. This assessment will provide IDEQ with information on the status of the fisheries in southern Idaho and the level of effort necessary to provide fish assemblage data adequate to evaluate the biotic integrity of Idaho's large rivers.

T1  - Variations in Sand Storage Measured at Monumented Cross Sections in the Colorado River Between Glen Canyon Dam and Lava Falls Rapid, Northern Arizona, 1992-99
AN  - 17333504; 6261690
AB  - Bed elevations were measured at 131 monumented cross sections in the Colorado River between Glen Canyon Dam and Lava Falls Rapid from June 1992 to September 1999 to provide data on channel sand storage. This report documents the location of the 131 monumented cross sections, dates of measurements for all cross sections, methods of data collection and processing, and spatial and temporal variation and variability in changes in cross-sectional area for selected cross sections. Additionally, data were analyzed to determine if changes in sediment storage could be related to main channel flow conditions and tributary sediment inputs. Most of the cross sections showed a limited capacity, both in terms of amount and residence time, to store sediment. Data for 83 of the 131 cross sections were comprehensive and complete, and were used for analyses in this report. This data set is referred to as the primary data set. Of these 83 cross sections, 19 had a net gain in stored sediment, 61 had a net loss of stored sediment, and 3 had no change in stored sediment for the period of data collection, excluding data collected during the high release from Glen Canyon Dam in 1996.

T1  - Methods for Estimating Peak Discharges and Unit Hydrographs for Streams in the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
AN  - 17333473; 6261670
AB  - Procedures for estimating peak discharges and unit hydrographs were developed for streams in the city of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County in response to a need for better techniques for characterizing the flow of streams. The procedures presented in this report provides the means for estimating unit hydrographs as part of the process used in watershed modeling and (or) design of stormwater-management structures. The procedures include three statistical relations for use in estimating storm peak discharge, unit-hydrograph peak discharge, and unit-hydrograph lag time. A final component of the procedures is the development of a dimensionless unit hydrograph developed from streamflow and rainfall data collected during the 1995-2000 water years at 25 streamgaging stations and up to 60 raingages in the city and county.

AB  - The purposes of this report are to (1) describe the limnological characteristics (physical properties and nutrient, phytoplankton, and chlorophyll-a concentrations) of Blue Mesa, Morrow Point, and Crystal Reservoirs in Curecanti NRA in 1999; (2) describe 1999 water-quality conditions in stream inflows (physical properties, suspended sediment, and nutrients) and reservoir outflows (physical properties and nutrients) for Blue Mesa, Morrow Point, and Crystal reservoirs; and (3) compare the nutrient, phytoplankton, chlorophyll-a, and (or) trophic status of Blue Mesa Reservoir and its inflows in 1999 to previous levels over the past 25 years with regard to nutrient conditions and nutrient enrichment in the reservoir. The report describes the spatial and temporal distribution of physical properties, nutrients, phytoplankton, chlorophyll-a, and trophic status for Blue Mesa, Morrow Point, and Crystal Reservoirs; physical properties, suspended sediment, and nutrients for stream inflows; and physical properties and nutrients for reservoir outflows. Nutrient, phytoplankton, chlorophyll-a and (or) trophic conditions in Blue Mesa Reservoir and two of its inflows are compared to historical data to investigate nutrient conditions and nutrient enrichment with respect to land-use changes in the upper Gunnison River Basin. Included in the analysis of 1999 phytoplankton data for Morrow Point and Crystal Reservoirs is a comparison to 1998 phytoplankton data.

T1  - Evaluating Water Management Strategies with the Systems Impact Assessment Model: SIAN Version 3
AN  - 17333205; 6261466
AB  - This booklet serves as an introduction to the SIAM, a System Impact Assessment Model for riverine ecosystems. SIAM is an integrated set of models used to address significant interrelationships among selected physical (temperature, microhabitat, and geomorphic features), chemical (dissolved oxygen) and biological variables (young-of-year salmonid production), and stream flow in a river. SIAM has been developed for the lower Klamath River from Klamath Falls, Oregon, to the river's mouth on the California coast using data and models selected to be appropriate for the riverine portion of that study area. SIAM is only as good as the data, models, and its users allow it to be. This document highlights the important assumptions and limitations of these data and models so that use may be enlightened as well as productive. We have tried to assure the quality of the data and models integral to SIAM for the Klamath River; however, we stress that common sense may not be left behind in applying SIAM for any specific analysis. Users must be vigilant in making sure that the results logically follow from the premises. A warranty is neither stated nor implied.

AN  - 17331835; 6261633
AB  - As part of a study with an overriding goal of providing information that would assist State and Federal agencies in developing screening protocols for managing sediments impounded behind that are potential candidates for removal, the U.S. Geological Survey determined sediment quantity and quality at three locations; one on the French River and two on Yokum Brook, a tributary to the west branch of the Westfield River. Data collected with a global positioning system, a geographic information system, and sediment-thickness data aided in the creation of sediment maps and the calculation of sediment volumes at Perryville Pond on the French River in Webster, Massachusetts, and at the Silk Mill and Ballou Dams on Yokum Brook in Becket, Massachusetts.

T1  - Detection and Measurement of Land Subsidence Using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar and Global Positioning System, San Bernardino County, Mojave Desert, California
AN  - 17331779; 6261611
AB  - Land subsidence associated with ground- water-level declines has been recognized as a potential problem in parts of the Mojave Desert, California. Ground water has been the primary source of domestic, agricultural, and municipal water supplies in the desert since the early 1900s. Pumping of ground water from the Mojave River and Morongo ground-water basins in the southwestern Mojave Desert resulted in water-level declines of more than 30 meters (100 feet) between the 1950s and the 1990s. A Global Positioning System (GPS) survey of a geodetic network was used to determine the location, extent, and magnitude of vertical land-surface changes in Lucerne Valley in the Morongo ground-water basin. The GPS survey was conducted in 1998 to estimate historical elevation changes by comparing GPS-derived elevations with historical elevations (which were available for some of the monuments in the network as early as 1944) and to establish baseline values that can be used for comparisons with future GPS surveys. The GPS measurements indicated that about 600 millimeters (2 feet) (plus or minus 1,500 millimeters (5 feet)) of subsidence occurred at three of the monuments between 1969 and 1998 but that very little to no vertical change in position occurred at seven other monuments in the network. Water levels in the area of subsidence in Lucerne Valley declined about 15 meters (50 feet) during 1970- 98. Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) methods were used to characterize vertical land-surface changes in the Mojave River and Morongo ground-water basins during various intervals of time between 1992 and 1999.

T1  - Atlas of Interoccurrence Intervals for Selected Thresholds of Daily Precipitation in Texas
AN  - 17331741; 6261609
AB  - A Poisson process model is used to define the distribution of interoccurrence intervals of daily precipitation in Texas. A precipitation interoccurrence interval is the time period between two successive rainfall events. Rainfall events are defined as daily precipitation equaling or exceeding a specified depth threshold. Ten precipitation thresholds are considered: 0.05, 0.10, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 inches. Site- specific mean interoccurrence interval and ancillary statistics are presented for each threshold and for each of 1,306 National Weather Service daily precipitation gages. Maps depicting the spatial variation across Texas of the mean interoccurrence interval for each threshold are presented. The percent change from the statewide standard deviation of the interoccurrence intervals to the root-mean-square error ranges from a magnitude minimum of (negative) -24 to a magnitude maximum of -60 percent for the 0.05- and 2.0-inch threshold, respectively. Because of the substantial negative percent change, the maps are considered more reliable estimators of the mean interoccurrence interval for most locations in Texas than the statewide mean values.

AN  - 17330469; 6261676
AB  - Large-scale surface mining using valley fills has changed hydrologic storage and processes in the Ballard Fork Watershed in West Virginia. Total unit flow for the 2-year study period (November 15, 1999-November 14, 2001) on the Unnamed Tributary (extensively mined) (11,700 cubic feet per second per square mile) was almost twice that on Spring Branch (unmined) (6,260 cubic feet per second per square mile), and about 1.75 times that on Ballard Fork (downstream, partly mined) (6,690 cubic feet per second per square mile). Unit flow from the Unnamed Tributary exceeded that from the other two streams for all flows analyzed (5-95 percent duration).

T1  - Assessment and Comparison of 1976-77 and 2002 Water Quality in Mineshafts in the Picher Mining District, Northeastern Oklahoma and Southeastern Kansas
AN  - 17330414; 6261672
AB  - The purpose of this report is to assess water quality in abandoned mineshafts in the Picher mining district in 2002, to compare water quality in 2002 to water quality in 1976-77, and to determine how the water quality has changed with time. The scope of the work included sampling seven abandoned mineshafts at selected depths for analysis of water properties and dissolved metals to compare to past water-quality data. USGS personnel attempted to sample the same mineshafts that were sampled in the 1976-77 study; however, many of these were inaccessible so other nearby shafts were sampled for the study described in this report (2002 study).

T1  - Flow Origin, Drainage Area, and Hydrologic Characteristics for Headwater Streams in the Mountaintop Coal-Mining Region of Southern West Virginia, 2000-01
AN  - 17330281; 6261640
AB  - Characteristics of perennial and intermittent headwater streams were documented in the mountaintop removal coal-mining region of southern West Virginia in 2000-01. The perennial-flow origin points were identified in autumn during low base-flow conditions. The intermittent-flow origin points were identified in late winter and early spring during high base-flow conditions. Results of this investigation indicate that the median drainage area upstream of the origin of intermittent flow was 14.5 acres, and varied by an absolute median of 3.4 acres between the late winter measurements of 2000 and early spring measurements of 2001. Median drainage area in the northeastern part of the study unit was generally larger (20.4 acres), with a lower median basin slope (322 feet per mile) than the southwestern part of the study unit (12.9 acres and 465 feet per mile, respectively). Both of the seasons preceding the annual intermittent flow visits were much drier than normal. The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection reports that the median size of permitted valley fills in southern West Virginia is 12.0 acres, which is comparable to the median drainage area upstream of the ephemeral intermittent flow point (14.5 acres). The maximum size of permitted fills (480 acres), however, is more than 10 times the observed maximum drainage fill may cover more than one drainage area.

AB  - Regulation of the shorelines of the State of Washington, as mandated by the Shorelines Management Act of 1971, requires knowledge of the locations on streams and river reaches where specific regulatory criteria are satisfied. The U.S. Geological Survey conducted a study in 1971 to determine the upstream boundary points of these reaches for many of the State's streams and rivers. Updated upstream boundary points were determined in the current study for all the streams and rivers in southeastern Washington that fall under jurisdiction of the Shoreline Management Act of 1971.

AN  - 17329424; 6261642
AB  - This report presents the results of a study conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the North Dakota Department of Health, to analyze historical water-quality trends in selected dissolved major ions, nutrients, and dissolved trace metals for 10 streams in southwestern and eastern North Dakota and to develop an efficient sampling design to monitor future water- quality trends. A time-series model for daily streamflow and constituent concentration was used to identify significant concentration trends, separate natural hydroclimatic variability in concentration from variability that could have resulted from anthropogenic causes, and evaluate various sampling designs to monitor future water-quality trends.

The nine rivers, located primarily in the Boston metropolitan area, represented a gradient of increasing urbanization from 1 to 68 percent urban land use. Additional water samples were collected and analyzed for pesticides and volatile organic compounds at two of the nine rivers. Specific conductance data from all rivers were correlated with urban land use; specific conductance values increased during winter at some sites indicating the effect of road de-icing applications. In the more intensely urbanized basins, concentrations of sodium and chloride were high during winter and likely are attributed to road de-icing applications. Concentrations of total nitrogen and the various inorganic and organic nitrogen species were correlated with the percentage of urban land in the drainage basin.

AN  - 16203870; 6261691
AB  - The purpose of this report is to describe the spatial and seasonal variability in nutrient, suspended-sediment, and pesticide concentrations at nine surface-water sites and to relate these concentrations to streamflow conditions and land-use activities in the Mobile River Basin, 1999-2001. The nine sites included two streams draining agricultural areas, two urban streams, and five large rivers with mixed land use. Surface-water samples were collected from one to four times each month, from January 1999 to December 2001, and analyzed for a suite of nutrient species and pesticide compounds. This report also presents the results of load and yield estimates for nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended sediment at the nine sites in the basin.

T1  - Using Water-Quality Profiles to Characterize Seasonal Water Quality and Loading in the Upper Animas River Basin, Southwestern Colorado
AN  - 16203301; 6261613
AB  - One of the important types of information needed to characterize water quality in streams affected by historical mining is the seasonal pattern of toxic trace-metal concentrations and loads. Seasonal patterns in water quality are estimated in this report using a technique called water-quality profiling. Water-quality profiling allows land managers and scientists to assess priority areas to be targeted for characterization and(or) remediation by quantifying the timing and magnitude of contaminant occurrence. Streamflow and water-quality data collected at 15 sites in the upper Animas River Basin during water years 1991-99 were used to develop water-quality profiles. Data collected at each sampling site were used to develop ordinary least-squares regression models for streamflow and constituent concentrations. Streamflow was estimated by correlating instantaneous streamflow measured at ungaged sites with continuous streamflow records from streamflow-gaging stations in the subbasin. Water-quality regression models were developed to estimate hardness and dissolved cadmium, copper, and zinc concentrations based on streamflow and seasonal terms. Results from the regression models were used to calculate water-quality profiles for streamflow, constituent concentrations, and loads.

T1  - Heat as a Tool for Studying the Movement of Ground Water Near Streams
AN  - 14714439; 10672025
AB  - Differences between temperatures in streams and surrounding sediments are being analyzed to trace the movement of groundwater to and from streams. Tracing the transport of heat leads to a better understanding of the magnitudes and mechanisms of stream/groundwater exchanges. General principals and procedures by which the natural transport of heat can be exploited to infer the movement of subsurface water near streams are explained. Various case studies illustrate the use of heat tracing in evaluating interactions between surface water and groundwater for different locations in the western US.

AN  - 14709176; 10668332
AB  - Annual pumpage from the High Plains aquifer for irrigation increased from 4 to 19 million acre-ft during 1949-74; annual pumpage did not change during 1974-95. The volume of water in storage in the aquifer in 2000 was about 2980 million acre-ft. The average area-weighted water level change in the aquifer from predevelopment to 2000 was a decline of 11.9 ft. The change in the volume of water in storage from predevelopment to 2000 is a decrease of about 200 million acre-ft, which represents 6% of the volume of water in storage during predevelopment. Approaches to management of the aquifer by Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, south Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming are summarized.

T1  - Toxic Substances in Surface Waters and Sediments-A Study to Assess the Effects of Arsenic-Contaminated Alluvial Sediment in Whitewood Creek, South Dakota: Evaluation of the Processes Controlling Dissolved Arsenic in Whitewood Creek, South Dakota
AN  - 14706281; 10668329
AB  - Physicochemical and biological processes that affect dissolved arsenic concentrations in Whitewood Creek, SD, were studied. In the lower stream reaches, dissolved As levels were controlled by adsorption and coprecipitation with iron oxyhydroxides as groundwater enriched in As entered the stream. Periphyton photosynthesis induced a diurnal pH fluctuation of 0.25-0.5 in surface water that had a pH of 8.1-8.7 and a concomitant diurnal cycle in arsenate. The As fluctuations reflect the dynamic equilibrium of adsorption-desorption processes occurring in response to the pH cycle. Arsenate uptake by algae and input from reducing sediments were of secondary importance to the dissolved As budget.

T1  - Toxic Substances in Surface Waters and Sediments-A Study to Assess the Effects of Arsenic-Contaminated Alluvial Sediment in Whitewood Creek, South Dakota: Effects of Benthic Flora on Arsenic Transport in Whitewood Creek, South Dakota
AN  - 14706078; 10668328
AB  - The effects of arsenic and phosphorus interactions on sorption of these solutes by benthic flora in Whitewood Creek, SD, were examined in field and bioassay experiments. As concentrations in plant tissue increased with distance downstream from a mine discharge point but temporal differences in concentrations in tissues differed considerably from site to site. In diel studies, amplitudes of pH cycles increased with measured biomass except at a site immediately downstream from a water treatment plant discharge. Concentration fluctuations in dissolved As species lagged pH fluctuations by about 3 h at the most downstream site.

T1  - Geologic Studies of Mercury by the U.S. Geological Survey: Introduction
AN  - 14690745; 10657663
AB  - Sources and uses of mercury worldwide are surveyed, and the cycle and chemistry of Hg in the environment are explained. Any form of Hg that enters an aquatic system has the potential to be converted into organic Hg, of which methylmercury is generally the most toxic. Aquatic biota rapidly absorb this form, resulting in biomagnification in the food chain and potential health hazards to humans. In North America, many lakes and reservoirs are known to contain fish that have Hg concentrations above the level deemed safe for human consumption.

T1  - Geologic Studies of Mercury by the U.S. Geological Survey: Volcanic Emissions of Mercury
AN  - 14690085; 10657669
AB  - USGS efforts to measure the amount of mercury emitted from quiescently degassing volcanoes are summarized. The total contribution of Hg to the atmosphere from such volcanoes is estimated to be about 25-30 tpy worldwide. These Hg emissions probably account for less than 1% of the total global contribution of Hg to the atmosphere. If the amount of Hg emitted from explosive volcanic eruptions is also included, the fraction is larger, but the total volcanic output of Hg is probably less than 60 tpy.

T1  - Geologic Studies of Mercury by the U.S. Geological Survey: the Southwestern Alaska Mercury Belt
AN  - 14689208; 10657666
AB  - The presence of significant mine wastes containing cinnabor ore and minor amounts of elemental mercury at abandoned Hg mines in southwestern Alaska prompted USGS to measure total Hg and methylmercury concentrations in stream sediment, soils, stream water, vegetation, and fish. Stream sediments downstream from mines can contain total Hg levels as high as 5500 mu g/g. Unfiltered and filtered mine water samples contain 2500 and 50 ng Hg/l, respectively, indicating that most of the Hg transported downstream from mines is finely suspended material. Fish muscle samples contain total Hg concentrations as high as 0.62 mu g/g, of which 90-100% is methylmercury. This level is below the 1.0 mu g/g action level for Hg in edible fish established by FDA.

T1  - Geologic Studies of Mercury by the U.S. Geological Survey: Environmental Impact of Mercury Mines in the Coast Ranges, California
AN  - 14689153; 10657665
AB  - Until mining activities ceased by about 1990, the California Coast Ranges mercury mineral belt was the largest producer of Hg in North America. Many of the mines in the study area pose an environmental concern because of the presence of mine waste rock that contributes to Hg-rich sediment to nearby watersheds. Acid mine drainage also adversely impacts the water quality of surrounding streams in some areas. Hg release in mine drainage is a major source of Hg to watersheds, where it may bioaccumulate in aquatic biota.

T1  - Geologic Studies of Mercury by the U.S. Geological Survey: Mercury in the Carson River Basin, Nevada
AN  - 14688690; 10657668
AB  - The Carson River, NV, presents one of the most severe cases of mining-related mercury contamination in the US. As much as 7000 tons of elemental Hg, which was used to extract gold and silver ores, is estimated to have been lost to the river basin during last half of the 19th century. Recent surveys demonstrated that total Hg concentrations in the Lahontan Reservoir bottom sediments were as high as 80 and 100 mu g/g in deep-water and deltaic sediments, respectively. Total Hg levels in unfiltered river water samples approached 28 mu g/l. Fish sampled from the lower river and reservoir contained as much as 16 mu g/g of total Hg in their tissues.

T1  - Large Floods in the United States: Where They Happen and Why
AN  - 14687964; 10655636
AB  - The locations and magnitudes of large streamflows recorded by USGS gaging stations at over 23,000 sites are summarized. Most documented floods were caused by weather and climate conditions, but many were also affected by regulation and diversion. Relatively large flows are observed in central Texas and in the central and northern Appalachians; the southern midwestern US is also susceptible to relatively large flows. The high incidence of large flows in the central and southern Midwest and upper Mississippi Valley is partly due to mesoscale convection complexes. The distribution of stations with the largest flows within the interior west reflects local orographic lifting and convective instability associated with physiographic features.

T1  - Estimated Ground-Water Discharge by Evapotranspiration from Death Valley, California, 1997-2001
AN  - 14687332; 10655635
AB  - The amount of annual groundwater discharge by evapotranspiration (ET) from the floor of Death Valley, CA, was estimated during USGS-conducted field surveys. Annual ET was computed for ET units, derived from satellite imagery and National Wetlands Inventory data, with micrometeorological data which were continuously measured at six instrumented sites. The total groundwater discharge from ET for the Death Valley floor is about 35,000 acre-ft. Annual groundwater discharge by ET for the salt-encrusted playa, bare-soil playa, low-density vegetation, moderate-density vegetation, and high-density vegetation ET units was 0.13, 0.15, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 ft, respectively.

T1  - Geologic Studies of Mercury by the U.S. Geological Survey: Mercury Contamination from Hydraulic Gold Mining in the Sierra Nevada, California
AN  - 14687058; 10657667
AB  - Historic placer gold mines in the Sierra Nevada, CA, are marked by mercury contamination from Au mining and recovery during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Both elemental Hg and methylmercury have been detected in watersheds where hydraulic mining was widespread. Specific hot spots in the region have been characterized by USGS to identify elevated concentrations of total Hg and methylmercury in environmental compartments. High levels of Hg bioaccumulation in various fauna and visible elemental Hg in sediments indicate a large part of the Hg used in Au ore processing was lost to the environment. Hg bioaccumulation in fish has prompted local officials to issue consumption advisories.

T1  - Geologic Studies of Mercury by the U.S. Geological Survey: Mercury in Coal and Mercury Emissions from Coal Combustion
AN  - 14685802; 10657664
AB  - Mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants represent a major uncontrolled source of Hg in the environment. USGS is compiling data on Hg in coal that may be valuable in devising strategies for reducing Hg emissions from coal use. A coal quality data base contains information on Hg content in over 7000 coal samples. Detailed geochemical analyses have helped to determine that Hg in coal is commonly associated with pyrite; other modes of occurrence may be locally important. An average 37% of Hg in coal can be removed by physical coal cleaning.

T1  - Irrigation-Induced Contamination of Water, Sediment, and Biota in the Western United States-Synthesis of Data from the National Irrigation Water Quality Program
AN  - 14683709; 10655633
AB  - Data collected during field studies conducted by the USDI National irrigation Water Quality Program at 26 areas in the western US were synthesized. Geologic, climatologic, and hydrologic data were evaluated and water, sediment, and biota from study sites were analyzed to identify commonalities and dominant factors that result in irrigation-induced contamination of water and biota. Selenium in surface water was the trace element that most frequently exceeded chronic criteria for the protection of freshwater biota. In groundwater, over 22% of the arsenic concentrations and over 35% of the Se concentrations exceeded the maximum contamiant levels. DDT and its degradation products were the most common pesticide residues found in surface water at levels exceeding criteria, but almost all samples exceeding the criteria were from a single study area. The average Se concentration in duck egg sets was embryotoxic in 19 of the 93 populations surveyed.

T1  - Mercury in Stream Ecosystems-New Studies Initiated by the U.S. Geological Survey
AN  - 14652221; 10642999
AB  - An explanation of the mercury cycle is followed by a description of USGS research on Hg in stream ecosystems. The agency is assessing the extent and magnitude of Hg contamination in stream ecosystems in 14 major river basins across the US. Samples of water, sediment, and predatory fish were collected at 120 stream sites in 2002 and assayed for Hg forms. USGS is also assessing processes affecting transport, biological, and chemical transformations, and bioaccumulation of Hg in three study units. The data will be used to identify high priority regions, improve criteria and standards for protecting aquatic and human health, and improve strategies for controlling emissions and managing lands.

T1  - ROUTE 17, SOUTH OF ROUTE O TO SOUTH OF HOWELL COUNTY LINE, BRIDGE REPLACEMENT, TEXAS COUNTY, MISSOURI (JOB NUMBER J9P440).
AN  - 36417555; 9867
AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement of two miles of Route 17 on a new location in Texas County, Missouri is proposed. The project termini are a point 0.5 mile south of the Howell County line and a point approximately 1.5 miles north of the Howell County Line. The project would include the replacement of existing Bridge J-665 over the Jacks Fork River. The new facility would consist of a two-lane highway with a design speed of 50 miles per hour. The existing route is characterized by kksubstandard vertical and horizontal alignment and Bridge J-665 is functionally obsolete. The section of the roadway immediately north and south of the existing bridge has an accident rate that is higher than the statewide average. The route also accommodates a substantial volume of track traffic, requiring that the bridge be kept open during construction and the new facility be constructed on a new location parallel to the existing facility. Nine alternatives, including a No-Built Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The build alternatives range in length from 1.14 miles to 8.98 miles. The dimension of the Jacks Fort River crossing range from 160 feet to 30 feet in height and from 600 to 1,085 feet in length. Depending on the alternative considered, cost of the project ranges from $4.7 million to $21.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Relocation of the highway and replacement of the bridge would improve safety along this section of Route 17 and increase operating efficiencies, leading to a reduction in congestion and emissions of air pollutants. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of up to three commercial structures and 30 residences, 5.22 acres of wetlands, and 32 acres of parkland. The highway would traverse one to nine streams and affect sensitive biological resources. Up to seven caves and three sinkholes could be affected. The existing bridge, which is eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, would be demolished, and three to 17 architecturally significant structures and up to 12 archaeological resource sites could be affected. The new bridge would mar visual aesthetics in the vicinity of the crossing. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - FORT VANCOUVER NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 16360682; 9862
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a new general management plan for the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site on the north bank of the Columbia River in Washington is proposed. The fort, founded by the British, was turned over to the United States in 1846. The Fort Vancouver National Monument was established in 1948 to preserve as a national monument the site of the original Hudson Bay Company (HBC) stockade. To improve conditions for achieving the legislative requirements of the park, Congress passed an act in 1961 enlarging the boundaries of the monument to include an additional 130 acres of land, bringing the total acreage at the site to 209 acres. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would perpetuate the current management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative B) would contain several new elements that would result in expanded opportunities for visitors to appreciate the broad sense of history that characterizes Fort Vancouver and its place in the history of the Northwest. Specific actions would include the reconstruction of nine HBC period structures within the fort palisade and two at the associated village site. A research and education center would be developed within the fort. Interpreti components would be added, including wayside exhibits and delineation of structures in certain locations. Much of the historic landscape would be restored. An interpretive area would be developed at the Waterfront via partial reconstruction of the Salmon Store as an interpretive shed and delineation of several other historic HBC sites. The original location of the wharf would be simulated and the historic pond delineated with wetland plants. A portion of Columbia Way would be realigned to better accommodate visitor circulation and interpretation. The pedestrian overpass would be widened as a land bridge to allow for interpretive facilities and vegetation. A shuttle system would be established to facilitate visitation. One of the four buildings fronting the historic Parade Ground would be renovated for use as administrative headquarters for the park and other reserve offices. Maximum use would be made of existing structures, including renovation of the existing Fort Vancouver visitor center as the Vancouver National Historic Reserve visitor center. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to preserving and protecting the resources at the fort, the plan would provide for additional education, outreach, and research opportunities with respect to interpretation of the facility's role in the history of the immediate area and its broader role in the history of the Northwest. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: NONE. LEGAL MANDATES: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.)

T1  - APPALACHIAN CORRIDOR H, PARSONS-TO-DAVIS, TUCKER COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1996).
AN  - 16362288; 9853
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of approximately 10 miles of highway within Corridor H between Parsons and Davis in Tucker County, West Virginia is proposed in this supplement to the April 1996 final EIS on the construction of 100 miles of highway within the corridor from Elkins, West Virginia to just west of the Virginia state line. As a result of legal challenges a settlement agreement required the West Virginia Department of Transportation in conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration to alter the original 1996 construction plan with respect to highway alignment. This draft EIS considers a No-Build Alternatives, an improved roadway alternative, originally preferred alternative, and six avoidance alignments. A truck route option was also considered as an addition to the originally preferred alternative and one of the avoidance alignment. The alignments vary in length from nine miles to 11.2 miles, while the truck route option would extend 1.8 miles. Under any of the primary build alternatives, the project would provide a four-lane, partially controlled access facility. Cost estimates for the primary build alternatives range from $93.5 million to $189.9 million. Cost of the truck route option is estimated at $1.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway would provide a safe, high-speed, high-capacity connection between the project termini; promote economic development in the study area, reduce truck traffic on existing routes; and improve emergency response times and access to emergency facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternative selected, rights-of-way requirements for the project could displace one landfill facility and one residence, and 0.78 to 8.07 acres of wetlands, up to 3.4 acres of floodplain. The project could eliminate 892 to 1,400 wildlife habitat units. From 553 to 6,016 linear feet of stream. Habitat for the federally protected West Virginia northern flying squirrel would be affected, as would habitat within the Monongahela National Forest. One to six visually sensitive sites would be affected. Noise standards would be violated in the vicinity of 12 to 14 sensitive receptor sites. Energy consumption within the corridor would increase substantially. Construction activities would occur within 1.8 to 11.2 acres likely to contain archaeological sites and within 3.6 to 8.1 acres with some likelihood of containing such resources. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft EIS, a draft supplement, and the final EIS, see 92-4087D, Volume 16, Number 6; 94-0510D, Volume 18, Number 6; and 96-0178F, Volume 20, Number 2, respectively.

T1  - BISCAYNE NATIONAL PARK, HOMESTEAD, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA.
AN  - 16348517; 9839
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for the Stiltsville area of the Biscayne National Park in Homestead, Miami-Dade County, Florida is proposed. The Biscayne National Park encompasses a large portion of Biscayne Bay and the offshore waters south of Miami and includes a rare combination of Florida coral reefs and keys, estuarine bay, mangrove coast, the associated wildlife habitat, and historic sites. The park's established boundaries encompass approximately 174,000 acres. The northern portion of the park includes seven structures constructed on pilings collectively referred to as Stiltsville. The first structure was constructed in the 1930s, and the number of structures rose to a peak of 27 by the 1960s. Natural events, such as hurricanes, reduced the number of structures to 14 by 1976, when the state of Florida entered into leases with private owners for the lands on which the structures existed. Hurricane Andrew irreparable damaged seven of the 14 structures, leaving seven structures, none of which existed during the area's historically significant heyday. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to water quality, biological resources, endangered and threatened species, ecologically critical areas, cultural resources, visitor experience and safety, soundscapes, visual aesthetics, park operations, and socioeconomics. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative D), which would implement the provision of the non-renewable leases and result in the removal of the Stiltsville structures, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative A), a non-profit organization would be created, along with an appropriate agreement with the National Park Service and other groups, for the management and use of the Stiltsville structures. The Stiltsville organization would rehabilitate the historic buildings to support educational and interpretive opportunities. Stiltsville could also provide a visitor and interpretive center, research facilities, an artist-in-residence dwelling, meeting space, and a satellite park office that would provide for National park Service presence in the northern part of the park. Alternative B would result in the National Park Service being responsible for the renovation, management, and operation of the Stiltsville structures. The designated uses of the structures would be similar to that under Alternative A. Under Alternative C, the structures would be lease for private use based on current authorities. Potential leasees would compete for the right to lease the structures. The size or footprint of each structure would not be expanded. The purposes for which the structures could be leased would be similar to those under Alternative A, though private uses similar to those under the former non-renewable leases would also be allowed. Preference would be given to individuals or groups that would provide for some level of public access. The cost of renovating structures could be as much as $70,000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred plan would minimize resource damage to the sensitive estuarine environment from motorized boat access to the structures, other uses of the structures, and the presence and handling of waste and hazardous materials within the structures. The plan would support the capability and suitability of the site to support public use. The management scheme would ensure that the use of the structures would be economically self-supporting. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities and the use of the structures and watercraft used to access the structures would result in some damage to cultural resources and biological resources, including critical habitat for threatened and endangered species, within the park. LEGAL MANDATES: National Park Service Organic Act of 1916.

T2  - MILITARY OPERATIONAL INCREASES AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ASSOCIATED COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE AND INTEGRATED NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLANS, NAVAL AIR WEAPONS AIR STATION CHINA LAKE, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36379093; 9692-020475_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: An increase in the tempo of military test and evaluation and operational training activities at Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS) China Lake, California is proposed. NAWS is located in the Western Mojave Desert of southern California, approximately 150 miles northeast of Los Angeles. The station, composed of the North Range and the South Range, encompasses approximately 1,700 square miles and is located in portions of Inyo, Kern, and San Bernardino counties. The NAWS land ranges, operated by the Department of the Navy for more than 50 years, provide a safe, and secure, highly instrumented volume of land and airspace in which to conduct controlled tests and operationally realistic training. Proposed changes to military operations would include increases in the type and tempo of ongoing test and evaluation, training, and support operations. Increases in military operations would be phased over five years according to operational needs and include expansion of both subsonic and supersonic range flight operations, airfield flight operations, and range ground operations, including target and test site use and ground troop training type, tempo, and locations. Non-military uses requiring access to NAWS-administered lands would continue to be accommodated at NAWS. Public access would continue to be limited to specific areas on a case-by-case basis due to established safety and security requirements. Limited public access to designated areas would continue to be permitted according to the terms and conditions granted by the NAWS commanding officer. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed increase in activity, and associated environmental mitigation measures, at the NWAS would help ensure the preparedness of U.S. naval forces in the event of war and achieve compliance with federal legislation with respect to preservation and protection of the desert ecology of the study area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased flight operations would increase the area exposed to noise levels in excess of federal standards and the duration of such exposures. A three-acre area zones for residential use would be affected by increased aircraft noise levels. LEGAL MANDATES: California Desert Protection Act of 1994 (16 U.S.C. 410aaa et seq.) and Sikes Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 607a et seq.).

T1  - IMPLEMENTATION AGREEMENT, INADVERTENT OVERRUN AND PAYBACK POLICY, AND RELATED ACTIONS, LOWER COLORADO RIVER AND THE STATES OF ARIZONA, CALIFORNIA, AND NEVADA.
AN  - 16353668; 9674
AB  - PURPOSE: The execution of an implementation agreement (IA) that would commit the Secretary of the Interior to making Colorado River water deliveries in accordance with the terms and conditions of the IA to enable certain Southern California water agencies to implement the proposed Quantification Settlement Agreement (QSA) is proposed. THE QSA is an agreement in principle among several southern California water agencies that establishes a framework of conservation measures and water transfers within southern California for up to 75 years. The QSA provides a mechanism for California to reduce its diversions of Colorado River water in normal years to its annual apportionment of 4.4 million acre-feet. Because the propose of the proposed action is to provide federal approval of an agreement negotiated among the California parties, no other action alternatives are being considered. The QSA is a consensual agreement among the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, Coachella Valley Water District, and Imperial Irrigation District that resolves long-standing disputes regarding the priority, use, and transferability of Colorado River water. The three major components of the proposed action would include: 1) execution of the IA wherein the Secretary agrees to changes in the amount and/or location of deliveries of Colorado River water that are necessary to implement the QSA; 2) adoption of an inadvertent overrun and payback policy (IOP), which would establish requirements for payback of inadvertent overuse of Colorado River water by water users in the Lower Division States; and 3) implementation of biological conservation measures to offset the potential impacts of the proposed action that could affect federally protected fish and wildlife species or their critical habitats within the historic floodplain of the Colorado River between Parker Dam and Imperial Dam. Within the IA alternative, a number of IOP alternatives are considered. All alternatives within the IA include a number of biological conservation measures In addition, an alternative provision to eliminate an IOP requirement that, in a year during which the Secretary makes a flood control release of a space building release, any accumulated amount in the overrun account would be forgiven. Under the latter alternative, the overrun account would be deferred but not forgiven. No Action Alternatives are considered for the IA, the IOP, and the biological conservation measures. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to contributing to the conservation of aquatic and other biological resources associated with the lower Colorado River, the IA and related measures would resolve serious disputes among major southern California water agencies. Salinity concentrations below Hoover, Parker, and Imperial dams would reach the planned objectives by 2006. The IA would facilitate the San Luis Rey Indian Water Rights Settlement, and the benefits of hydroelectric power provided by the river system would enhance the tribal economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Execution of the IA would result in lower water levels in some reservoirs within the Colorado River system. Groundwater levels under irrigated fields would decline somewhat in the valleys below Parker Dam. Reductions in groundwater levels could affect riparian and wetland habitat. Excess flows to Mexico could be reduced by 24,000 to 61,000 acre-feet. Construction activities related to the project would result in short-term delivery of sediment to the river and could result in permanent displacement of vegetation. The level of the Salton Sea could decline somewhat, affecting wetland and riparian vegetation, and salinity levels in the sea would increase.

T1  - IMPERIAL IRRIGATION DISTRICT WATER CONSERVATION AND TRANSFER PROJECT, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 16348386; 9673
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water conservation and transfer project is proposed to implement a transfer of the Imperial Irrigation District's (IID) right to use up to 300,000 acre-feet per year of Colorado River which the IID is otherwise entitled to divert for use within IID's water service area in Imperial County, California. The conserved water would be transferred by IDD to the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA), Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD), and/or Metropolitan Water District (MWD). The terms of the water conservation and transfer transactions are set forth in the Agreement for Transfer of conserved water (Transfer Agreement) executed by IID and SDCWA in 1998, as amended, and a proposed Quantification Settlement Agreement (QSA) to be executed by IID, CVWD, and MWD. Under the terms of the Transfer Agreement and the QSA and as part of the proposed project, IID would limit its annual diversions of Colorado River water to 3.1 million acre-feet. The proposed transfers, which are to remain in effect for up to 75 years, would facilitate efforts to reduce California's diversions of Colorado River water in normal years to its annual 4.4 million acre-feet apportionment. The Secretary of the Interior must approve the change in the point of delivery for the transferred water. The plan would include implementation of a habitat conservation plan (HCP) to address impacts to covered species and habitats within the IID water service area, the rights-of-way of the All American Canal, and the Salton Sea. The HCP area encompasses approximately 500,000 acres. Five alternatives, including the proposed project and a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Conservation water diversions under the plan would improve both aquatic and terrestrial habitat, while allowing enough water to meet most of the irrigation needs of the IID and other Colorado River water users. Wetland habitat would increase significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Diversions would result in increase selenium loads in the Alamo and New rivers and the Salton Sea. Approximately 50,000 acres of prime farmland and farmland of statewide importance would have to be reclassified and most likely fallowed, removing 11 percent of such lands from the IID service area. Approximately 700 acres of farmland would be converted to marsh habitat. Farmland effects would result in a significant loss of jobs and business output. The labor force impacts would disproportionately affect minority and low-income groups. Changes in water quality in the Salton Sea would reduce recreational fishing and bird watching opportunities. Windblown dust from exposed near-shore areas around the Salton Sea would degrade air quality in the area. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).

T1  - REACH 11 RECREATION MASTER PLAN, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA.
AN  - 16362655; 9658
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a recreation master plan for the Reach 11 Recreation Area, located in the northeast portion of the city of Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona is proposed. Reach 11, which includes 1,500 acres adjacent to the Central Arizona Project (CAP) canal between Cave Creek and Scottsdale roads, is a flood detention basin developed to capture floodwaters to prevent flooding of the CAP canal and the adjacent communities of Phoenix, Paradise Valley, and Scottsdale. The land is owned by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and managed for recreational purposes by the City of Phoenix Parks, Recreation and Library Department under a 1986 land use agreement. The city designated Reach 11 as a district park, which the city defines as having generally 100 or more acres, containing at least 10 recreational program elements, and serving residents located within a five-mile radius. Growing population in the area has led to overuse of existing recreational features, lack of an adequate level of available recreational opportunities, and a projected demands for additional recreational facilities and uses in the future. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, high-demand recreational needs would be met while still providing natural and picnic areas as well as space for other passive recreational uses. The plan would provide for 10 lighted softball fields, 10 lighted soccer fields, two T-ball fields, eight lighted volleyball courts, eight lighted basketball courts, other areas for court games, a children's play area, picnic areas with ramadas and other picnic areas (including desert picnic areas), rest rooms and a concession building, a maintenance yard, a first aid station, associated parking facilities, an equestrian complex and multi-use trailhead, a special events area, an overflow parking area, a second multi-use trailhead, administrative offices, an interpretive center, and a trail underpass at Tatum Boulevard. A freeway interchange would be constructed to provide access to and from Reach 11. Estimated cost of plan implementation is $46 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The master plan would accommodate and respect the full range of current and future recreation demands within the growing area of Phoenix. The plan would also result in enhancement of 173 acres of wildlife habitat. Development of the Tatum Boulevard underpass would improve pedestrian circulation and safety and eliminate horse trailers parking on a major thoroughfare. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 172 acres of turf would be added to the area, requiring 843 acre-feet of reclaimed water annually. Surface runoff would increase due to placement of impermeable surface on 42 acres of land. Approximately 30 to 45 acres of sensitive vegetation would be displaced, and approximately 255 acres of desert scrub vegetation would be lost. Passive recreationists would be affected by the introduction of active recreation facilities, impacts that would include the presence of lighting.

T1  - HIGHWAY US-81, YANKTON BRIDGE STUDY, A MISSOURI RIVER CROSSING BETWEEN THE CITY OF YANKTON, YANKTON COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA AND CEDAR COUNTY, NEBRASKA.
AN  - 36436347; 10855
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge to carry US 81 across the Missouri River between the city of Yankton in Yankton County, South Dakota and the unincorporated village of South Yankton in Cedar County, Nebraska is proposed. The existing bridge has structural and operational deficiencies and is in need of rehabilitation or replacement. Within the immediate region, US 81 is a vital roadway through the eastern third of Nebraska. From Norfolk, which is 55 miles south of Yankton, south to the state line, US 81 is part of the Nebraska Expressway System. Through South Dakota, US 81 connects Yankton to Interstate 90 (I-90), which is 58 miles to the north. US 81 continues north from I-90 to Watertown, South Dakota, where is coincides with I-29 northward into North Dakota. This final EIS considers nine alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), an alternative that would involve rehabilitation of the existing bridge, and seven alternatives each of which would involve construction of a new bridge. Six of the new bridge alternatives would involve construction of a four-lane crossing of the river. The seventh new bridge alternative would involve construction of a two-lane bridge and retention of the existing two-lane bridge. Six of the originally developed alternatives were dismissed as inappropriate, leaving the No-Build Alternative and two alternatives that would involve construction of a new four-lane bridge. The preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would provide for a new four-lane bridge as an extension of Broadway through South Yankton. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new bridge would provide a safe, efficient crossing of the Missouri River for this major regional arterial highway. The capacity of the crossing would be doubled. Local emergency service response would be enhanced significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would require displacement of 0.1 acre of wetlands, 7.5 acres of riparian forest, and 3.4 aces of prime farmland.. The project would require removal of some large trees, Demolition of the existing bridge would result in the loss of an historically significant structure. Construction activities would result in temporary closure of a recreational trail along the Missouri National Recreational River. Concrete barriers on the bridge would hinder east-west views of the river. Traffic-generated noise would approach or exceed federal standards at tree dwellings in Yankton. The rural area south of the river would also experience a substantial increase in traffic-related noise.

T1  - LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN FOREST AND RANGELAND HEALTH PROJECT AND BAKER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT, OREGON.
AN  - 16348312; 9648
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and resource management for the 25,160-acre Lookout Mountain Analysis Area of the Baker Resource Management Area of Baker County, Oregon is proposed. The analysis area lies along the Snake River southeast of Baker City. The area has suffered declining health as a result of dense stand conditions, insect and disease outbreaks, dwarf mistletoe infestation, juniper encroachment, and the lack of fire-induced growth stimulation. Rangeland in the analysis area has suffered from overutilization, invasion by noxious weeds, and juniper encroachment. Riparian zones in the area have been degraded due to uncontrolled cattle grazing activities. The plan would address forest resources, rangeland, riparian and wildlife habitat health, recreational resources, and cultural resource management. Specific activities would include commercial timber harvest, riparian restoration activities, road decommissioning, and fuel reduction treatments including prescribed burning. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. All five action alternatives would require amendment of the Baker Resource Management Plan with respect to visual resource management inventory classes on approximately 22,914 acres and decomissioning of roads. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would treat overstocked and mistletoe-infested Douglas-fir stands through thinning, patch cuts and regeneration cuts, while maintaining selected areas of big game thermal and hiding cover, through 1,885 acres of timber harvest and related activities; implement range treatments, adjusting grazing schedules to minimize effects on grazing permittees; reintroduce fire as a means of restoring rangeland vegetation and reduce sagebrush and juniper encroachment; place large woody debris in and provide for 19.3 miles of streamside planting in riparian areas; implement measures to protect goshawk habitat; provide for the construction of 3.8 miles of new road, reconstruction of 7.9 miles of existing road, and decommissioning of 5.8 miles of existing road, resulting in a total of 80.1 miles of open road; provide for prescribed fire on 3,871 acres; and buffer cultural resource sites. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The thinning of dense stands would permit the entry of light and air into the affected stands, stimulating healthy growth of the retained trees. The thinned stands would more closely resemble the open park-like stands that constituted the historic landscape in the area prior to the elimination of wildfire as an agent of ecological change. Thinning would also remove fuels that currently contribute to a high risk of catastrophic stand replacement wildfire. Large trees would be retained, promoting the development of snags and course woody debris, an important component of wildlife habitat in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Exclusion of livestock from some areas during treatment would compel permittees to find other forage areas. Heavy erosion and the associated water quality problems would continue to affect 28.1 miles of untreated stream. The plan would reduce thermal cover 45 percent and hiding cover by 82 percent, and the plan would reduce goshawk habitat by 15 percent in the short-term. Prescribed burning would increase erosion in the short-term. Approximately 0.3 mile of an historic logging wagon road would be modified. All management activities would degrade the visual quality and otherwise reduce the quality of the recreational experience in the area in the short-term.

T1  - NATIONAL COAL HERITAGE AREA MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN, WEST VIRGINIA.
AN  - 16350167; 9646
AB  - PURPOSE: The establishment of a strategic management plan for the National Coal Heritage Area in 11 counties in southern West Virginia is proposed. The area, which encompasses over 5,000 square miles, includes Boone, Cabell, Fayette, Logan, McDowell, Mercer, Mingo, Raleigh, Summers, Wayne, and Wyoming counties. The area is bordered on the southwest by the Kentucky state line, on the southeast by the Virginia state line, and on the south by other counties in West Virginia. Additionally, a small portion of the area borders the Ohio state line near Huntington, West Virginia. The area is characterized by some of the most rugged topography of any area in West Virginia, where the landscape, culture, and history of the region were altered significantly due to the extraction and transportation of bituminous coal. The area has undergone a boom-and-bust economy over the last century due to fluctuations in the coal mining market. Currently the area has a per capita income that is significantly less than the national average and an unemployment rate that is significantly higher. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative D), are considered in this final EIS. All action alternatives would provide for the continuation of conservation, preservation and interpretation activities, protection of physical and cultural resources, partnering and community agency cooperation, improvements to public access, marketing activities, and creation of a central organizational entity to provide the management and oversight necessary to raise funds and implement the plan. Alternative A, the environmentally preferred alternative, would provide for linkages of cultural resources along transportation routes in the form of visitor and destination centers and experience zones. Alternative B would provide for development of a single, large-scale visitor and interpretive center located at the region's transportation crossroads at the intersection of Interstate 77 (I-77) and I-64. Alternative C, the agency's preferred alternative, would constitute a combination of alternatives A and B. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The agency's preferred alternative would best meet the intent of the legislation establishing the National Coal Heritage Area, which is to develop and implement integrated cultural, historic, and land resource management policies and programs to retain, enhance, and interpret significant values of the lands, water, and structures of the area. Alternative C would provide visitors several options for exploring the 11-county area and provide for a strong central leadership structure. The plan would also improve employment levels and other economic indicators in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Alternative C would result in some degradation of historic and archaeological resources due to disturbance by visitors as visitation rates would increase significantly. Increase visitor levels would also increase traffic on roads serving the area. The plan could pair the historic integrity of the visitor center and the associated museum. Construction of the visitor center and destination centers could damage natural resources and cause land use conflicts. Facilities could also mar visual aesthetics in the area. LEGAL MANDATES: Omnibus Public Lands and Natural Forest Adjustments Act (P.L. 100-699). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 02-0277D, Volume 26, Number 3.

T1  - SANTA CRUZ ISLAND PRIMARY RESTORATION PLAN, CHANNEL ISLANDS NATIONAL PARK, SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 16361483; 9642
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of an ecosystem restoration plan for Santa Cruz Island, a component of the Channel Islands National Park in Santa Barbara County, California is proposed. The proposed action would involve elimination of non-native feral pigs from the island and establishment of a program to control invasive weeds, particularly fennel. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to native plant communities, rare and listed plants, non-native plants, native island fauna, non-native island fauna, soil and water resources, cultural resources, and human uses. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. The proposed plan (Alternative 4) would include hunting of feral pigs in fenced units throughout the island as well as reduction of large stands of fennel through controlled, prescribed fire and two successive sprays of herbicide. Using historical and existing fence lines, the island would be divided into six management units of roughly 12,000 acres each. Approximately 45 miles of new fence would be constructed. Within these units, feral pigs would be eradicated, clearing one zone before moving to the next. Priority would be given to units that have an increased risk due to native vegetation recovery causing the unit to be come unhuntable. Fennel treatment would be focused in areas of high fennel density that would inhibit pig removal efforts and would be based on the successful Central Valley Fennel Removal Project. The Central Valley protocol consists of burning large, monoculture stands of fennel to reduce standing biomass, followed by spraying with the herbicide Garlon 3A in low-mix rates (0.5 percent to 2.0 percent) for two successive growing seasons to kill resprouts. Herbicide would be applied by aircraft. The plan would include a six-year eradication phase, followed by a five-year inspection and monitoring phase. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would reduce ecosystem and archaeological site disturbance and promote native species recovery. Problems presented by feral pigs to visitors to the island would be eliminated. Nine federally protected plant species and numerous rare species would benefit from eradication of feral pigs. Fennel burns may enhance Mediterranean annual grasses, NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some native plants would be destroyed by prescribed burning and herbicide treatments. Fence building and removal would create bare ground that would be conducive to the re-introduction of noxious weeds. Removal of feral pigs would eliminate the primary prey base for golden eagles. Prescribed burning and plant destruction due to herbicide application would reduce ground cover and could lead to erosion. Burning could affect historical resources, such as fence lines LEGAL MANDATES: National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 and Redwoods Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 1a-1).

T1  - CALIFORNIA DESERT CONSERVATION AREA PLAN AMENDMENT FOR THE COACHELLA VALLEY, RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36400177; 9638
AB  - PURPOSE: The amendment of the management plan for the Coachella Valley, Riverside County, California is proposed. The planning area encompasses public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management in the Coachella Valley of southern California. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative D) and a preferred alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The alternatives address wild and scenic river and wilderness designations, visual resource management, land health standards, air quality management, multiple-use classifications, habitat conservation objectives, fire management, special area designations, land exchanges and sale criteria, land acquisition criteria, management of acquired and formerly withdrawn lands, communication sites and utility rights-of-way, sand and gravel mining, livestock grazing, wild horse and burro management, designation of areas for motorized access via off-highway vehicles, road access, special recreation management area management, recreational access facilities and camping facilities, big horn sheep peninsular range recovery strategies, trails and trail use, cross-country travel, limitations on the presence of dogs, organized group activities, recreational activities of other sorts, public outreach, and areas of critical environmental concern. The draft EIS addressed the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains trails management plan within the California Desert Conservation Area; this final EIS does not address this plan, which will be addressed in another document. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would provide for multiple use and sustainable development of public lands, while making progress towards healthy, properly functioning ecosystems; provide for the recovery of federal and state listed threatened and endangered species; avoid future listings of sensitive species; provide recreational opportunities on public lands in the area; and allow collaboration with local jurisdictions to facilitate land management consistency, management effectiveness, and cost-efficiency across jurisdictional boundaries. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Land use restrictions would place economic hardships on some local users. Recreational access and other recreational use restrictions would pose problems for some visitors to the affected areas. Management activities and commercial and recreational uses of the area would disturb soil and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat and could result in damage to cultural resource sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 02-0299D, Volume 26, Number 3.

T1  - Chronic Wasting Disease
AN  - 14657987; 10643007
AB  - Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a form of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, affects elf, white-tailed deer, and mule-deer. No treatment for CWD is known, nor is the mode of disease transmission between animals known. The spread of CWD in wildlife is of great concern, and the recent detection of the disease in the wild white-tailed deer population of Wisconsin is noted. Research is needed to develop diagnostic and remedial measures, and to predict long-term effects of CWD on wild deer herds.

T1  - Fractured-Rock Aquifers: Understanding an Increasingly Important Source of Water
AN  - 14655466; 10642996
AB  - With increased demand for water, communities are looking to fractured-rock aquifers, where water moves through fractures in the rock. The complexity of fractured rock is evident in the diverse distribution of fractures in almost every type of rock. The ability to profile and understand groundwater flow conditions in a cost-effective manner is needed to ensure sound decisions in groundwater management. USGS conducts research to develop field techniques and interpretive methods for characterizing fluid movement and chemical migration in fractured-rock aquifers to assess the availability, quality, and sustainability of water supplies.

T1  - USGS Environmental Studies of the World Trade Center Area, New York City, After September 11, 2001
AN  - 14652244; 10643000
AB  - Two days after the September 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center, USGS was asked by EPA to conduct a remote sensing and mineralogical study of lower Manhattan around the impacted site. The assessment was intended to rapidly provide emergency response teams with data on concentrations and distribution of asbestos and other materials in the dusts deposited around lower Manhattan after the World Trade Center collapse. USGS detected chrysotile asbestos in more than two-thirds of the dust samples assayed, at levels less than 1% weight. Analysis of material coating a steel beam in the debris revealed the presence of chrysotile asbestos as high as 20% by volume of the coating material. Mean concentrations of heavy metals in dust were relatively high compared with their mean concentrations in natural soils from the eastern US.

T1  - FORT FREDERICA NATIONAL MONUMENT, SAINT SIMONS ISLAND, GLYNN COUNTY, GEORGIA.
AN  - 36413580; 9628
AB  - PURPOSE: The establishment of a general management plan for the Fort Frederica national Monument, Saint Simons Island, Glynn County, Georgia is proposed. The 250-acre monument, which lies 12 miles northeast of Brunswick, preserves the remains of a fortified town established and laid out by Governor James Oglethorpe in 1736 to defend against invasion from the Spanish colonies in Florida. In addition to the ruins of the fort and the remains of the foundations of the town's residences, development at the site includes a visitor center /museum/administrative complex, maintenance buildings, two employee residences, monuments, roads, and parking lots. The associated Bloody Marsh Battle site contains a parking lot, an interpretive shelter, and a granite memorial donated by the Georgia Society of the Colonial Dames of America. Although the legislation creating the national monument was enacted in 1936 and the site has been open to the public for more than 50 years, no general management plan has yet been developed. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to interpretation of the urban environment of the colonial Frederica period while preserving the appearance of isolation and the sense of antiquity associated with the site; provision of additional visitor access from the Frederica River, protection of archaeological resources, relocation of the visitor center and administrative complex to protect resources and the historic viewshed, and protection of the monuments resources from the effects of growth and development outside its boundaries. Four alternative management strategies, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative D), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative B) would allocate a large portion of the site to a highly protective zoning category. The alternative would emphasize re-establishment of a visual impression of the colonial Frederica scene by using suitable methods such as planting of appropriate trees, shrubs, and other vegetation and providing for other fitting and historically accurate landscape elements. Once the visitor center and administrative complex became obsolete, the national monument would seek the authority and funding to demolish it and clear the site and build a new visitor center in a currently developed or previously disturbed area that would not be visible from the historic town site. Administrative offices would be relocated to renovated park residences. The area formerly occupied by the visitor center and parking area would be replanted with native trees and shrubs and allowed to return to a more natural forested condition. Alternative B would also provide for the possibility of constructing a dock on the Frederica River to permit tour boats and water taxis to bring visitors to the site in the same manner that the original Frederica settlers arrived. The plan would manage the monument over the next 15 to 20 years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would enable visitors to experience some of the sights, sounds, odors, and other sensory impressions of historic daily life in the Fort Frederica colonial military settlement, while preserving the natural and historical setting of the fort. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some buried cultural resources could be damaged or destroyed during temporary field investigations that would be conducted around the foundations of historic structures to reveal information necessary to recreate accurate historic landscape elements and other visual features of the original settlement. LEGAL MANDATES: National Parks and Recreation Act of 1978 (P.L. 95-625). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 01-0433D, Volume 25, Number 4.

T1  - TRUCKEE RIVER WATER QUALITY SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, FEDERAL WATER RIGHTS ACQUISITION PROGRAM, CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA.
AN  - 16360120; 9630
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of the provisions of the Truckee River Water Quality Settlement Agreement establishing a joint water rights acquisition program to enhance flow in the lower Truckee River within California and Nevada. The agreement, involving several federal and local government authorities and the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, resolves litigation with respect to water rights, particularly during low-flow periods when water quality conditions are often poor. Nonpoint water pollution sources, such as agricultural return flows and urban runoff, as well as point source pollution from the Trukee Meadows Wastewater Treatment Facility, affect Truckee River water quality. Violations of federal standards for dissolved oxygen occur in the lower river as a consequence of algae production stimulated by high concentrations of total dissolved solids, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Water quality modeling performed for the Truckee Meadows community showed that river flow is the primary factor influencing Truckee River water quality. Model results also indicate that increasing Truckee River flow by approximately 100 cubic feet per second during the critical late summer/early fall period would dilute concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus, and total dissolved solids as well as reduce water temperatures. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to water resources, air quality, wetlands, agricultural activities, water rights, population growth in the study area, and potential cumulative effects with respect to other government projected in the area. Congress has appropriate $12 million to acquire Truckee River water rights. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. Both action alternatives would involve diversion of water into federal reservoir during normal and high flow periods for release during low flow periods. Water rights would be acquired from the Truckee River, Truckee Meadows, and the Truckee Division under Alternative 2, from the Truckee Division and the Truckee River corridor under Alternative 3, and from Truckee Meadows under Alternative 4. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By improving the water quality in the lower Truckee River, the project would improve the quality of life in the Truckee Meadows area, enhance habitat for aquatic organisms and recruitment of riparian vegetation, lower water temperatures in the stream, and increased dissolved oxygen concentrations. Higher than average flows during dry periods would be expected to enhance wetland areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Water quality would continue to fall below federal standards in some areas, though fewer violations would occur. Air quality would also continue to violate federal standards in Reno-Sparks and Fernley. Some intermittent wetlands would be lost, and the availability of water rights to the tribe would result in the conversion of some agricultural land to developed land and a decline in the productivity of some agricultural land. LEGAL MANDATES: Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 1344 et seq.), Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Public Law 93-638, and Truckee-Carson-Pyramid Lake Water Rights Settlement Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-618).

T1  - U.S. HIGHWAY 189, UTAH VALLEY TO HEBER VALLEY, UTAH AND WASATCH COUNTIES, UTAH (SECOND DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL EIS OF 1978).
AN  - 36416813; 9619
AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement the Provo Canyon Highway in Utah and Wasatach counties, Utah is proposed. The project would extend from the Utah /Wasatch County line near the intersection with US 189 on the west and State Road 92 at Wildwood to the intersection of US 89 with US 40 at Heber City on the east. This second supplement to the final EIS of 1978 describes the development of the preferred alignment originally presented in a 1995 re-evaluation of the project. Construction with respect to this project has occurred between 1984 and 2002, with several sections of highway completed as described in the first supplemental EIS issued in 1989. This second supplemental EIS responds to a federal district court order to prepare a new supplement prior to implementing the next phase of construction. This supplement describes a newly preferred alignment between Wildwood and Deer Creek State Park; the new alternative would involve widening the facility to four lanes along this segment, which would be realigned. This alternative differs from that presented in the previous supplement primarily in that it would result in an alignment shift away from the existing highway and the Provo River in the Horseshoe Bend area and in crossing the face of Deer Creek Dam on a buttressed fill. This supplement also addresses the related extension of Provo-Jordan River Parkway Trail system, from Vivian Park to Deer Creek Dam; the system currently runs from the Great Salt Lake through Provo and Orem, and up Provo Canyon as far as Vivian Park. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce existing and projected traffic congestion and improve safety for all highway users The newly proposed alignment would substantially reduce environmental impacts compared to the alignment preferred at the time of the previous supplemental EIS. Access to recreational resources in the canyon would be enhanced significantly. In addition, the buttress fill would meet the needs of the Bureau of Reclamation with respect to dam safety. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 22.46 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, 1.9 acres of wetlands, and some fishery habitat in Deer Creek. The potential for water quality impacts to the Provo River from sedimentation would increase. Visible cuts and fills would occur in the project area viewscape. One historic dam complex, one prehistoric site, and one historic railroad overpass would be affected. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Federal Aid Highway Act of 1968 (23 U.S.C. 128(a)), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C.1251 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970(42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - PERSONAL WATERCRAFT RULE-MAKING, GLEN CANYON NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, ARIZONA AND UTAH.
AN  - 16343656; 9617
AB  - PURPOSE: The promulgation of a regulation to provide for the management of the use of personal watercraft at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area of Arizona and Utah is proposed. The recreation area encompasses 1.25 million acres of land and water in northern Arizona and southeastern Utah. Lake Powell is the predominant physical feature, covering 163,000 surface acres and providing 1,960 miles of shoreline at full pool. More than 2.0 million people visit the recreational area annually. Many recreationists and environmentalists have raised concerns regarding the impact of the use of personal watercraft on environmentally sensitive resources and the recreational experience of persons who do not use such watercraft. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative C), under which all personal watercraft use within the recreational area would be prohibited, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative A would allow watercraft use identical to that allowed before September 2002 under a special regulation. Alternative B would allow personal watercraft use in the recreation area under a special regulation, with additional management restrictions. Personal watercraft use would be prohibited in portions of the Colorado, Escalante, Dirty Devil, and San Juan Rivers to increase protection of environmental values and reduce visitor conflict. To further reduce visitor conflict and enhance visitor experience, speed restrictions would be imposed in additional areas of the Escalante and Dirty Devil Rivers. Educational programs and materials would be enhanced to provide more information to visitors on watercraft use and safety as well as on recreation area resources. Development of a monitoring program to evaluate the effects of personal watercraft use n recreation area resources would be emphasized. A lake management plan that would consider all lake uses would be developed to manage the effects on resources by all watercraft use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The regulation would ensure the protection of recreational area resources and values while offering recreational opportunities as provided for the recreation area's enabling legislation, purpose, mission, and goals. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Noise from watercraft would continue to disturb recreationists and wildlife and generally mar the pristine nature of the recreation area. The watercraft would continue to discharge significant emissions of air pollutants. Operation of the watercraft in near-shore areas would result in the loss of shoreline vegetation. Visitor safety would be jeopardized by the operation of personal watercraft in the vicinity of passive recreationists. LEGAL MANDATES: National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (P.L. Chapter 308 39 Stat. 535) and Public Law 92-593.

T1  - Vulnerability of U.S. National Parks to Sea-Level Rise and Coastal Change
AN  - 14656205; 10643001
AB  - Rising global sea level and declining Great Lakes water levels may affect shorelines in US national parks. Potential effects of sea level increases include coastal erosion, inundation of wetlands, and threats to cultural and historic resources. Potential effects in the Great Lakes of a water level drop include reduced areas accessible to cargo and recreational boating and aquatic food chain impacts. A coastal vulnerability index developed by USGS is being applied to assess prospects for sea level and water level changes and to formulate long-term resource management plans.
