  • Blue River & KP Creek
    DECISION NOTICE AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT Blue River and KP Creek Wild and Scenic River Suitability Study USDA Forest Service, Southwestern Region Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests Alpine and Clifton Ranger Districts Greenlee County, Arizona DECISION NOTICE Action and Its Purpose The Forest Service has conducted an environmental analysis to evaluate the suitability of four eligible river segments of the Blue River and one eligible river segment of KP Creek (a tributary to the Blue River) on the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests in Arizona for inclusion into the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The analysis was conducted pursuant to section 5(d)(1) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. The analysis is described in the Environmental Assessment for Blue River and KP Creek Wild and Scenic River Suitability Study. The suitability of these river segments is being considered at this time due to a proposal to construct a channel-spanning fish barrier in segment 4 of the Blue River on the Clifton Ranger District. KP Creek has been included in this analysis because it is a tributary to Blue River above the barrier site that supports a valuable native fishery. Both Blue River and KP Creek were identified as potential eligible rivers in the Resource Information Report, Potential Wild- Scenic-Recreation River Designation, National Forests in Arizona (USFS 1993) and confirmed as eligible in the Eligibility Report for the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System (Apache-Sitgreaves NF 2009). In response to the USDI Bureau of Reclamation’s (BOR) proposal to build a channel-spanning fish barrier in the Blue River, I conducted an analysis of the potential effects on Blue River’s free-flowing characteristics (Appendix C).

  • Arizona’S Prioritization Criteria February 16, 2016
    Arizona’s Prioritization Criteria February 16, 2016 In late 2013 the EPA, in consultation with states, finalized a new Long-Term Vision for Assessment, Restoration and Protection under the Clean Water Act Section 303(d) Program. One of the goals of the vision is Prioritization which reads “for the 2016 integrated reporting cycle and beyond, States review, systematically prioritize, and report priority watersheds or waters for restoration and protection in their biennial integrated reports to facilitate State strategic planning for achieving water quality goals. In 2013 ADEQ began reviewing internal programs and policies to determine how our processes could be made more efficient leading to greater environmental benefit. One outcome was to combine the TMDL and 319 programs in order to implement the right improvement projects as quickly as possible. There are several other programs across ADEQ’s Water Quality Division that share responsibilities for implementing portions of our nonpoint source program. Integration encourages interactions, even with programs that control point source discharges to surface water. Within the Surface Water Section the TMDL and 319 programs are housed within the Watershed Protection Unit allowing for common goals to be set, shared and actively worked toward for each program. Coordination between internal programs looks at water body and watershed prioritization based on many factors, including: Local interest in implementing projects Human health concerns Ecosystem health including ecological risk The beneficial uses of water Value of the watershed or groundwater basin to the public Vulnerability of the surface to additional environmental degradation Implement-ability Likelihood of achieving demonstrable environmental results Extent of alliance with other federal agencies (e.g.

  • North Central Arizona Wildlife Viewing by Month
    North Central Arizona Wildlife Viewing by Month January Winter in the in the central mountains can bring larger mammals into easier view: pronghorns and Rocky Mountain elk graze in the grasslands after leaving their high-elevation forests and meadows to seek food and water. Coyotes regularly stroll grassland areas throughout the day, seeking to make a meal of an unfortunate field mouse or ground squirrel. The Arizona Game and Fish Department’s Grasslands Wildlife Area can often hold numerous pronghorn, horned lark and raptors, such as the occasional golden eagle, northern harrier and ferruginous hawk. The Department's Wenima Wildlife Area has a resident herd of mule deer that can often be seen at sunrise and sunset by walking the area’s trails. February Prescott’s Audubon Society offers bird walks coordinated through the Highlands Center for Natural History; visit the center’s Lynx Creek site—a beautiful 80-acre parcel on Walker Road near Lynx Lake with a range of habitat including ponderosa-pine valleys, chaparral and woodland covered hillsides, and shaded creeks and the associated wildlife. The Arizona Game and Fish Department holds Bald Eagle natural history and viewing workshops in February, offering information and field observations of our national symbol. March Springtime in the central Arizona high country means return of early summer migrants such as double-crested cormorant, turkey vulture and osprey circling over lakes and rivers. Ospreys frequent the more popular fishing waters (Woods Canyon Lake, Heritage Park/Willow Lake) seeking their own limit of trout. Visit lakes from Prescott to Payson and on to the White Mountains to seek Clark’s and eared grebes; White-faced ibis, long-billed dowitcher and spotted sandpiper.
