Final Environmental Impact Statements (ID)

This Final Environmental Impact Statement documents the analysis of three alternatives, including the "No Action" alternative, that were developed for the proposed Tailholt Administrative Research Study. The alternatives respond to the major issues and resources that were identified for this project. The action alternatives would allow timber harvest, using helicopter yarding and no road construction, to be conducted as part of an ongoing study designed to provide forest managers with information on minimizing resource damage when conducting forest management activities.

Draft Special Resource Study And Environmental Assessment, United States Department Of Interior National Park Service

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

One of the responsibilities of the National Park Service is to identify nationally significant natural, cultural, and recreational resources and assist in their preservation both inside and outside the national park system. The areas managed by the National Park Service are only one part of a national inventory of special and protected areas managed by innumerable federal, state, and local agencies and the private sector. Consequently, addition to the national park system is only one of many alternatives for ensuring the preservation of significant national resources for public enjoyment and benefit. As such, the purpose of this study is to …

Idaho River Systems Management Study Wetlands Report, United States Department Of The Interior, Bureau Of Reclamations

Natural Resources-Planning, Management, and Conservation

The Bureau of Reclamation is cooperating with the Idaho Department of Water Resources and others in the formulation of a comprehensive water plan for the conservation, development, management, and use of waters within the state's river basins. The impact that wetlands may have on the use of water in the state is a major consideration.

This report identifies opportunities that exist for private citizens, corporations, government agencies, and others to work together to slow the rate of wetland loss and to improve the quality of remaining wetlands. To work together effectively, these groups must reach an understanding of what comprises …

Wyoming Statewide Wilderness Study Report Wilderness Study Area Specific Recommendations, United States Bureau Of Land Management

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

The recommendation for this WSA is to designate 17,150 acres of BLM land and 1,390 acres of State land as wilderness. This alternative is considered to be the environmentally preferable alternative as it would result in the least change in the natural environment over the long term. The entire 17,150 acres of federal land and 1,390 acres of state land within the WSA are recommended for wilderness designation and are shown on the Bobcat Draw Badlands WSA map. The state lands would be recommended for acquisition to enhance the manageability of the area as wilderness.

Decision Record And Finding Of No Significant Impacts For Off-Road Vehicle Designations For Wilderness Study Area In The Grass Creek Resource Area, United States Department Of The Interior, Bureau Of Land Management

Record of Decisions (WY)

The need for revised ORV designation decisions was confirmed through public scoping and a series of meetings of an ad hoc committee formed specifically to advise the GCRA on ORV designations. While the MFP objectives are still considered valid and appropriate, revising ORV designation decisions to meet these objectives requires an amendment to the MFP.

A Microsystem Sediment-Water Simulation Study For The Proposed Jordanelle Reservoir, Heber City, Utah, United States Department Of The Interior, Bureau Of Reclamation

Water

The technique of microsystem sediment-water simulation was used to predict water quality data for the proposed Jordanelle Reservoir, Heber City, Utah. Simulation microsystems were prepared for four sites located in the north arm of the reservoir basin including two sites located in an abandoned acid mine tailings pond. Data obtained from the tailings pond microsystems indicated that low pH water and high trace metal concentrations will exist in the north arm of the reservoir. These data suggested that some kind of membrane or compacted earth lining will be necessary to seal and contain the mine spoilage. Other sites in the …

Geologic Characterization Report For The Paradox Basin Study Region Utah Study Areas, Volume V, Appendices, United States Department Of Energy

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

This study is a part of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Waste Terminal Storage Program (NWTS). The scope of DOE's NWTS responsibilities include providing the technology and facilities to isolate high-level radio-active wastes for as long as the wastes represent a hazard. Emplacement of waste packages in mined geologic repositories deep underground in various types of rock formations is one method being evaluated. Using a basic site selection process (Figure 1-1), regions being investigated include portions of the United States that are underlain by tuff, salt domes, granite, basalt, and bedded salt. The latter medium is the subject …

Summary Utah/Western Colo, 1992 System Study, United States Department Of Energy Western Area Power Administration

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

The Utah/western Colorado area of the Rocky Mountain Region has adequate coal and water resources to support additional thermal generation plants beyond those already in service. Also within the region are several sites suitable for large-sized hydroelectric pumped-storage projects for purposes of supplying peaking power. The close proximity of these types of electric generating facilities is desirable in providing offpeak energy during the pumping cycle for the pumped-storage units. Considering that the potential capacity of each type of generation is in the 500 to 1,000 (two units) MW range per site and would require major extra-high-voltage (EHV) transmission developments, it …
