Notice Date: July 19, 2019 To: General Authorities; General Officers; Area Seventies; and the following leaders in the United States and Canada: Stake, Mission, and District Presidents; Bishops and Branch Presidents; Members of Stake and Ward Councils From: Priesthood and Family Department (1-801-240-2134) Subject: For the Strength of Youth (FSY) Conferences in the United States and Canada As part of the Children and Youth effort announced on May 8, 2018, the Church will begin holding For the Strength of Youth (FSY) conferences in the United States and Canada. These conferences have been held outside the U.S. and Canada for many years and have proven to be a strength to youth and also to the young single adults who serve as counselors. See the attached description of FSY conferences for more information. Beginning in 2021 and 2022, all stakes in the U.S. and Canada will participate in FSY conferences every other year. During 2020, a smaller number of FSY conferences will be held at locations in the U.S. and Canada to prepare for full implementation. Attached is the list of stakes participating in 2020. If your stake has been selected to participate in FSY in 2020, please do not plan treks or youth conferences to be held during that year. Young Women and Young Men camps may be held annually, as usual. If your stake has been selected but you believe your stake has an exceptional circumstance and cannot participate in FSY in 2020, please contact your Area Seventy. Dates, locations, financing arrangements, and other information, such as the calling of young single adults as counselors, will be shared at a later date.

Operation of Flaming Gorge Dam Final Environmental Impact Statement
Record of Decision Operation of Flaming Gorge Dam Final Environmental Impact Statement I. Summary of Action and Background The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) has completed a final environmental impact statement (EIS) on the operation of Flaming Gorge Dam. The EIS describes the potential effects of modifying the operation of Flaming Gorge Dam to assist in the recovery of four endangered fish, and their critical habitat, downstream from the dam. The four endangered fish species are Colorado pikeminnow (Ptychocheilus lucius), humpback chub (Gila cypha), razorback sucker (Xyrauchen texanus), and bonytail (Gila elegans). Reclamation would implement the proposed action by modifying the operations of Flaming Gorge Dam, to the extent possible, to achieve the flows and temperatures recommended by participants of the Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program (Recovery Program). Reclamation’s goal is to implement the proposed action and, at the same time, maintain and continue all authorized purposes of the Colorado River Storage Project. The purpose of the proposed action is to operate Flaming Gorge Dam to protect and assist in recovery of the populations and designated critical habitat of the four endangered fishes, while maintaining all authorized purposes of the Flaming Gorge Unit of the Colorado River Storage Project (CRSP), including those related to the development of water resources in accordance with the Colorado River Compact. As the Federal agency responsible for the operation of Flaming Gorge Dam, Reclamation was the lead agency in preparing the EIS. Eight cooperating agencies also participated in preparing this EIS: the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, State of Utah Department of Natural Resources, U.S.

River Flow Advisory
River Flow Advisory Bureau . of Reclamation Upper Colorado Region Salt Lake City, Utah Vol. 15, No. 1 September 1984 River flows in the Upper Colorado River drainage, still high for this time of year, are not expected to decrease much for several weeks: While the daily update of operations and releases has been discontinued, the toll-free numbers now provide updates on Bureau of Reclamation activities and projects. Utah residents may call 1-800-624-1094 and out-of-Utah residents may call 1-800-624-5099. Colorado River at Westwater Canyon The flow of the Colorado River on September 10 was 7, 000 cfs, and is expected to decrease slightly over the next few weeks. Cataract Canyon Includin2 the Green- River The flow was 11,500 cfs on September 10 and will continue to decrease slightly. Lake Powell Lake Powell's elevation on September 10 was 3,699. Assuming normal inflow for this time of year, the lake should continue to go down slowly to elevation 3,682 by next spring. Colorado River through Grand Canyon . Releases through Glen Canyon Dam remain at 25,000 cfs. These releases are expected to be maintained with no daily fluctuations in river flows. Upper Green River - Fontenelle Reservoir Fontenelle Reservoir is now at elevation 6,482 feet. Releases through the dam will be reduced to about 600 cfs starting on September 17 for about 2 weeks during powerplant maintenance. Green River Flows Below Flaming Gorge Dam On September 10 Flaming Gorge Reservoir was at elevation 6,039.9 feet.

Gunnison River
final environmental statement wild and scenic river study september 1979 GUNNISON RIVER COLORADO SPECIAL NOTE This environmental statement was initiated by the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation (BOR) and the Colorado Department of Natural Resources in January, 1976. On January 30, 1978, a reorganization within the U.S. Department of the Interior resulted in BOR being restructured and renamed the Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service (HCRS). On March 27, 1978, study responsibility was transferred from HCRS to the National Park Service. The draft environmental statement was prepared by HCRS and cleared by the U.S. Department of the Interior prior to March 27, 1978. Final revisions and publication of both the draft environmental statement, as well as this document have been the responstbility of the National Park Service. FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT GUNNISON WILD AND SCENIC RIVER STUDY Prepared by United States Department of the Interior I National Park Service in cooperation with the Colorado Department of Natural Resources represented by the Water Conservation Board staff Director National Par!< Service SUMMARY ( ) Draft (X) Final Environmental Statement Department of the Interior, National Park Service 1.

C.; Callender, J. F.; [eds.], New Mexico Geological Society 32nd Annual Fall Field Conference Guidebook, 337 p. This is one of many related papers that were included in the 1981 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.
