BLM Public Land Statistics 2007 Click Here for Table of Contents PUBLIC LAND STATISTICS 2007 Volume 192 BLM/OC/ST-08/001+1165 May 2008 WELCOME TO PUBLIC LAND STATISTICS 2007 Welcome to the 2007 edition of Public Land Statistics, published by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). As in years past, the cover of this year’s publication is designed to convey the scope of the Bureau’s complex and multifaceted mission using visual imagery. The 80-plus tables inside the document tell the story of the BLM’s mission, programs, and accomplishments using numerical data and detailed footnotes. Many of the minor acreage changes from 1 year to the next occur because: 1. Inholdings have been acquired or some other land exchange has taken place during the year. 2. Better GIS mapping of land boundaries has enabled us to recalculate the total BLM acres within the unit. Public Land Statistics is available on the Internet. Please visit our national homepage at: http://www.blm.gov/public_land_statistics/index.htm . Note that the data presented in the 2007 Public Land Statistics tables may not exactly match the data in other BLM publications covering Fiscal Year 2007 operations and accomplishments. This occurs because the databases that provide table data are not static; they are constantly being updated to provide the latest information, sometimes many months after the end of the fiscal year. We have presented the most current data available in this edition of Public Land Statistics. We remain committed to publishing a Public Land Statistics report each year that is timely, complete, and helpful as possible to our readers.

  • Section Four—Open Space Element
    Open Space Element Section Four—Open Space Element 4.1 Introduction There are many ways that open space can be defined, but the following definition of open space is the one used in the Yuma County 2020 Comprehensive Plan. Open space is defined as any publicly owned and publicly accessible space or area characterized by great natural scenic beauty or whose existing openness, natural condition or present state of use, if retained, would maintain or enhance the conservation of natural or scenic resources. Arizona Revised Statutes §11-821(D)(1) requires that an open space element contained in a comprehensive plan have the following components: A comprehensive inventory of open space areas, recreational resources and designation of access points to open space areas and resources; an analysis of forecasted needs, policies for managing and protecting open space areas and re- sources and implementation strategies to acquire open space areas and further establish recrea- tional resources; and policies and implementation strategies designed to promote a regional sys- tem of integrated open space and recreational resources and a consideration of any existing re- gional open space plan. A rich variety of open spaces exists within Yuma County. Only a very small portion of the County is urbanized and over 91% of the unincorporated Yuma County is publicly owned. Much of the federally owned land and a small portion of state owned land in Yuma County is specifically designated and managed as open space areas. A comprehensive inventory of these designated open space areas as required under ARS §11-821(D)(1)(a) is contained in this ele- ment.

  • K-Ar Geochronology and Geologic History of Southwestern Arizona and Adjacent Areas
    Arizona Geological Society Digest, Volume XII, 1980 201 K-Ar Geochronology and Geologic History of Southwestern Arizona and Adjacent Areas by 2 3 M. Shafiqullah , P.E. Damonl , D.J. Lynch l, S.J. Reynolds , WA. Rehrig , 4 and R.N. Raymond A bstract This paper presents K-Ar ages of 174 samples from 154 localities in southwestern Ari- zona and adjacent areas with a summary of the geologic history. Ages are given for many rock units that had been "dated" previously only by lithologic correlations. These ages establish the timing of the magmatic and tectonic events that created and deformed the rocks. We interpret the older Precambrian history of Arizona as the result of a long-enduring and evolving convergent continental margin with accretion to the southeast at the rate of 2 km/m.y. This process was terminated 1.4 b.y. ago by the intrusion of vast batholiths ex- tending in a northeasterly direction far beyond Arizona. Younger Precambrian rocks ac- cumulated in an epicontinental sea along the trend of the Cordilleran geosyncline. These rocks were intruded by extensive diabase sills that are best preserved in the central moun- tain region. There is no further record of Precambrian magmatism or sedimentation after intrusion of the diabase sills. Some Precambrian K-Ar dates have been reset by the thermal disturbance that accompanied these intrusions. K-Ar ages that fall within the Paleozoic are reset ages and there is no evidence for any Paleozoic magmatism in the region. K-Ar ages of most of the pre-Laramide Mesozoic igneous rocks in the region have been reset by Laramide magmatism but evidence has been found for Early to Late Jurassic magmatism.

In addition to those projects currently being constructed, this alternative would include (b) (5) (b) (5) PURPOSE AND NEED: The improvements that have been completed or are being proposed by INS and USBP are in an effort to enhance the USBP’s capability to gain, maintain and extend control of the U.S.-Mexico border. ALTERNATIVES ADDRESSED: (b) (5) ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF THE PROPOSED ACTIONS: (b) (5) CONCLUSIONS: Potential impacts to threatened or endangered species, cultural resources sites, wetlands and other sensitive resources would be avoided to the extent practicable. Where impacts are unavoidable, mitigation measures to reduce or compensate for losses would be implemented and coordinated through the appropriate Federal and state resource agencies. No significant impacts to land use, soils, air quality, hazardous waste sites, or socioeconomic resources are expected. Implementation of best management practices and stormwater pollution prevention plans would be required, as appropriate, for construction activities to reduce any potential effects to soils, soil erosion, and water quality. Based upon the results of the PEIS and environmental design measures to be incorporated as part of the proposed action, it has been concluded that the proposed action will not have a significant impact on the environment.
