Crd Title P1.Ai
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 4. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS This chapter describes the potential environmental impacts of constructing and operating a railroad along the Caliente rail alignment or the Mina rail alignment. An impact would be any change, positive or negative, from the existing (baseline) conditions described in Chapter 3 for each environmental resource area. The No-Action Alternative represents a continuation of baseline conditions. Glossary terms are shown in bold italics. DOE/EIS-0369D 4-1 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 4.1 Introduction This chapter begins with a description of impacts associated with the No-Action Alternative (Section 4.1.1). As Proposed Action: To determine a described in Section 2.3, under the No-Action Alternative, rail alignment within a rail corridor in which to construct and operate a the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE or the Department) railroad to transport spent nuclear would not select a rail alignment or build a railroad within fuel, high-level radioactive waste, the Caliente rail corridor or the Mina rail corridor and and other materials from an existing would relinquish public lands withdrawn or segregated from railroad in Nevada to a repository at surface and mineral entry. The description of impacts Yucca Mountain, Nye County, associated with the No-Action Alternative applies to both Nevada. The Proposed Action rail corridors and all rail line alternative segments and includes the construction of railroad common segments. Section 4.1.2 introduces descriptions of construction and operations support impacts associated with the Proposed Action. facilities. This Rail Alignment EIS analyzes two Sections 4.2 and 4.3 describe potential impacts associated alternatives that would implement the with construction and operation of the proposed railroad Proposed Action: the Caliente rail along the Caliente rail alignment and the Mina rail alignment alignment and the Mina rail under the Proposed Action, including a Shared-Use Option. -
Dry Lake Valley North SEZ Analysis
1 11.4 DRY LAKE VALLEY NORTH 2 3 4 11.4.1 Background and Summary of Impacts 5 6 7 11.4.1.1 General Information 8 9 The proposed Dry Lake Valley North SEZ is located in Lincoln County in southeastern 10 Nevada (Figure 11.4.1.1-1). The SEZ has a total area of 76,874 acres (311 km2). In 2008, the 11 county population was 4,643, while adjacent Clark County to the south had a population 12 of 1,879,093. The closest population centers to the SEZ are Pioche, located about 15 mi (24 km) 13 to the east, and Caliente, located about 15 mi (24 km) to the southeast; both communities have 14 populations of about 1,000. The smaller communities of Caselton and Prince are located about 15 13 mi (21 km) to the east of the SEZ. Las Vegas is located about 110 mi (180 km) to the south. 16 17 The nearest major road to the Dry Lake Valley North SEZ is State Route 318, which is 18 about 7 mi (11 km) to the west of the SEZ, while U.S. 93 is about 8 mi (13 km) to the south. 19 Access to the interior of the SEZ is by dirt roads. The nearest railroad access is approximately 20 25 mi (40 km) away, while nearby airports include Lincoln County Airport in Panaca and Alamo 21 Landing Field in Alamo, which are located about 13 mi (21 km) south–southeast of and 35 mi 22 (56 km) southwest of the SEZ, respectively. -

Structure and Devonian Stratigraphy of the Timpahute Range, Nevada
STRUCTURE AND DEVONIAN STRATIGRAPHY OF THE TIMPAHUTE RANGE, NEVADA Volume I by Alan K. Chamberlain © Copyright, 1999 A thesis submitted to the Faculty and Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Geology). Golden, Colorado Date____________ Signed:__________________________ Alan K. Chamberlain Approved:__________________________ Dr. John E. Warme Professor and Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date____________ ____________________________________ Dr. Roger Slatt, Professor and Head, Department of Geology and Geological Engineering ii ABSTRACT Sequences of Devonian rocks are advantageously exposed along a unique 40- mile-long east-west traverse in the greater Timpahute Range, southeastern Nevada. Study of these rocks casts light upon Devonian paleogeography, the Devonian Antler orogeny, an Upper Devonian cosmolite impact basin, this part of the Cretaceous Sevier fold-and- thrust belt, and the effects of Cenozoic extension. The greater Timpahute Range lies within the Timpahute Range 30' X 60' quadrangle and includes the region from Tempiute Mountain on the west to the Pahroc Range on the east. Concealed major north-south trending normal faults caused by Cenozoic extension have been proposed to disrupt the Paleozoic rocks of the region. However, a structural interpretation using a new geologic map of the quadrangle requires no major north-south striking normal faults. Furthermore, the greater Timpahute Range is interpreted as a salient of stacked thrust sheets within the Sevier fold-and-thrust belt. The range is bounded on the north and south by thrust tear faults that may be related to basement fractures caused by the cosmolite impact. Evidence for the Late Devonian cosmolite impact includes shocked quartz, iridium anomalies, ejecta spherules, and disturbed shallowing-upward sequences exhibiting intrasequence folding, brecciation, carbonate liquefaction, and graded bedding. -
3.1-1 3.1 Introduction 3.0 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT How to Read
3.1 Introduction 3.0 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT How to Read Chapter 3.0 Chapter 3.0 provides background information on the various resources, resource uses, and programs managed by the Ely Field Office, and describes their existing conditions, trends, and current management. These subsections contain the following information: • Existing Conditions – description of each resource, resource use, or program. • Trends – description of the changes that are occurring in the existing conditions. • Current Management – description of how the Ely Field Office is currently managing the resource, resource use, or program. This format does not lend itself equally well to every resource, resource use, or program. Where a subsection is not applicable (e.g., trends for special designations), this is noted in the text. NEPA regulations require that an EIS contain a description of the environmental conditions that would be affected by the Proposed Action and alternatives. Thus rather than being encyclopedic, the Affected Environment chapter must focus on those resources and uses that would be impacted by the management direction presented in Chapter 2.0 for Alternatives A through E. The amount of quantitative information that is available to describe existing conditions and particularly trends varies from resource to resource. In general, resources that have formal administrative requirements, such as livestock grazing, have more quantitative information available than resources that are used casually, such as recreation. Where quantitative information is available, it is reflected in the existing conditions and trends descriptions. Where it is not available, the descriptions rely on the observational knowledge of the District developed by the Ely Field Office staff. -
