Conceptual Evaluation Of Regional Ground-Water Flow In The Carbonate-Rock Province Of The Great Basin, Nevada, Utah, And Adjacent States, United States Geological Survey Jan 1993

Conceptual Evaluation Of Regional Ground-Water Flow In The Carbonate-Rock Province Of The Great Basin, Nevada, Utah, And Adjacent States, United States Geological Survey

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

The carbonate-rock province of the Great Basin, mainly in eastern Nevada and western Utah, is characterized by thick sequences of carbonate rocks of Paleozoic age. These rocks overlie clastic and crystalline rocks of Cambrian and Precambrian age, respectively. Since the carbonate rocks were deposited, structural compression and extension, intrusive and volcanic episodes, and erosion have greatly modified their distribution and thickness, and a variety of younger rocks and deposits have been emplaced within and above them. The most notable present-day physiographic features in the area are associated with normal faults caused by tensional forces during Tertiary time: The faulting has …


Evaluation Of Roadside Stabilization And Beautification Plantings In South-Central Utah, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service Jan 1993

Evaluation Of Roadside Stabilization And Beautification Plantings In South-Central Utah, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service

Plants

Numerous roadside plantings at semiarid sites in the south-central Utah counties of Juab, Sanpete, and Sevier were intended to stabilize roadsides with plants harmonizing with natural vegetation. The plantings, originally for demonstration, began in the 1950's. They included bareroot transplants and direct seedings. Soils and geologic substrates at six sites were analyzed for 15 characteristics. Plant performance and survival was summarized for 37 sites. Thirty species established well by direct seeding and 62 species established well from transplants. Numerous other species have also persisted at the planting sites but are not as vigorous or as well adapted. Direct seedings were …


Flood Insurance Study, City Of Price, Utah, Carbon County, Federal Emergency Management Agency Jan 1993

Flood Insurance Study, City Of Price, Utah, Carbon County, Federal Emergency Management Agency

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

This Flood Insurance Study revises and updates a previous Flood Insurance Study/Flood Insurance Rate Map for the City of Price, Carbon County, Utah. This information will be used by the City of Price to update existing floodplain regulations as part of the Regular Phase of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The information will also be used by local and regional planners to further promote sound land use and floodplain development.

Flood Insurance Study, Carbon County, Utah, Unincorporated Areas, Federal Emergency Management Agency

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

The purpose of this Flood Insurance Study is to investigate the existence and severity of flood hazards in the unincorportated areas of Carbon County, Utah, and to aid in the administration of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. Initial use of this information will be to convert Carbon County to the regular program of flood insurance by the Federal Insurance Administration. Further use of the information will be made by local and regional planners in their efforts to promote sound land use and flood plain development.
