Reno, Nevada Imazapic Ecological Risk Assessment: Final Report, Ensr International, Bureau Of Land Management
Reno, Nevada Imazapic Ecological Risk Assessment: Final Report, Ensr International, Bureau Of Land Management
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), United States Department of the Interior (USDI), is proposing a program to treat vegetation on up to six million acres of public lands annually in 17 western states in the continental United States (U.S.) and Alaska. The primary objectives of the proposed program include fuels management, weed control, and fish and wildlife habitat restoration. Vegetation would be managed using five primary vegetation treatment methods: mechanical, manual, biological, chemical, and prescribed fire. The BLM and its contractor, ENSR, are preparing a Vegetation Treatments Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate the effects of the proposed …

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), United States Department of the Interior (USDI), is proposing a program to treat vegetation on up to six million acres of public lands annually in 17 western states in the continental United States (U.S.) and Alaska. As part of this program, the BLM is proposing the use of ten herbicide active ingredients (a.i.) to control invasive plants and noxious weeds on approximately one million of the 6 million acres proposed for treatment. The BLM and its contractor, ENSR, are preparing a Vegetation Treatments Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate this and other proposed …
Management Guidelines For Sage Grouse And Sagebrush Ecosystems In Nevada, Bureau Of Land Management
Management Guidelines For Sage Grouse And Sagebrush Ecosystems In Nevada, Bureau Of Land Management
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
These management guidelines and supportive background information promote the conservation of sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and their sagebrush (Artemisia spp) habitats on Nevada public lands administered by Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The guidelines are intended to provide interim guidance to field managers, without restricting options currently being explored for regional, state, and local sage grouse/sagebrush conservation planning. The guidelines are a Nevada BLM, habitat-specific, adaptation of the recently updated, and soon to be finalized, Western Association of Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA) Draft Guidelines. The Nevada BLM guidelines apply the most current sage grouse science to BLM activities, within the context …
Evaluation Of The Potential Economic Impacts Of 40 Cfr 197: Environmental Radiation Standards For Yucca Mountain, Nevada, United States Environmental Protection Agency
Evaluation Of The Potential Economic Impacts Of 40 Cfr 197: Environmental Radiation Standards For Yucca Mountain, Nevada, United States Environmental Protection Agency
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
The Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), pursuant to section 801 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EnPA), is proposing a rule which contains standards for the protection of the public from releases of radioactive materials stored or disposed of in the repository at the Yucca Mountain site in Nevada. This report, as required by Executive Order 12866, provides an assessment of the economic impacts of the proposed rule. As the Agency is hindered by the unavailability of necessary information to perform a rigorous quantitative economic assessment, this report provides background to the standards being proposed, a …
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
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 …
Mineral Resources Of The Marble Canyon Wilderness Study Area, White Pine County, Nevada, And Millard County, Utah, United States Geological Survey
Mineral Resources Of The Marble Canyon Wilderness Study Area, White Pine County, Nevada, And Millard County, Utah, United States Geological Survey
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
The 19,150-acre Marble Canyon Wilderness Study Area (NV-040-086) was evaluated for mineral resources (known) and mineral resource potential (undiscovered), and field work was conducted in 1987. The acreage includes 6,435 acres that is now designated as part of the Mount Moriah Wilderness under the Nevada Wilderness Protection Act of 1989 (S. 974), most but not all of which is included in 8,300 acres for which the U.S. Bureau of Land Management requested a mineral survey. In this report, the "wilderness study area," or simply "the study area" refers to the entire 19,150-acre tract.

National List Of Plant Species That Occur In Wetlands: 1988, Nevada, Porter B. Reed, Jr.
National List Of Plant Species That Occur In Wetlands: 1988, Nevada, Porter B. Reed, Jr.
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
The National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 (National List) represents the combined efforts of many biologists over the last decade to define the wetland flora of the United States. The National List has undergone a number of revisions resulting from intensive review by regional ecologists. National, regional and State lists are being distributed to provide users with the most current information. We welcome and encourage modification and improvement of the National List. Refinement of the National List will occur continually, reflecting increased knowledge in Indicator assignments, taxonomy, and geographic distribution. We anticipate that further refinement of …
