WYOMING LAW JOURNAL The Colorado River Basin in Wyoming covers about 17,000 square miles, which is approximately 18% of the area of the state. The Colorado River Basin in its entirety covers 242,000 square miles, or approximately one-twelfth of the land area of the United States. If the Upper Colorado River Basin Compact is concluded, vast develop- ment will be permitted in the upper basin which will take 50, 75 or 100 years for its completion, and which will develop tremendous new re- sources of agriculture, power and industry, and which will support many thousands of people in addition to the present inhabitants of the area. Those of us who are engaged in the negotiation of the Upper Colorado River Basin Compact believe that we are making good use of the so-called compact clause of the Constitution, and one which will result in a vast agricultural and industrial development in the upper basin of the Colorado.

    Stormwater Management Program 2013-2018 Appendix A

    Appendix A 2012 Texas Integrated Report - Texas 303(d) List (Category 5) 2012 Texas Integrated Report - Texas 303(d) List (Category 5) As required under Sections 303(d) and 304(a) of the federal Clean Water Act, this list identifies the water bodies in or bordering Texas for which effluent limitations are not stringent enough to implement water quality standards, and for which the associated pollutants are suitable for measurement by maximum daily load. In addition, the TCEQ also develops a schedule identifying Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) that will be initiated in the next two years for priority impaired waters. Issuance of permits to discharge into 303(d)-listed water bodies is described in the TCEQ regulatory guidance document Procedures to Implement the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (January 2003, RG-194). Impairments are limited to the geographic area described by the Assessment Unit and identified with a six or seven-digit AU_ID. A TMDL for each impaired parameter will be developed to allocate pollutant loads from contributing sources that affect the parameter of concern in each Assessment Unit. The TMDL will be identified and counted using a six or seven-digit AU_ID. Water Quality permits that are issued before a TMDL is approved will not increase pollutant loading that would contribute to the impairment identified for the Assessment Unit. Explanation of Column Headings SegID and Name: The unique identifier (SegID), segment name, and location of the water body. The SegID may be one of two types of numbers. The first type is a classified segment number (4 digits, e.g., 0218), as defined in Appendix A of the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (TSWQS).

About fifteen of these become tropical depressions, areas of low pressure with closed wind patterns. Of the fifteen, ten become tropical storms, and six become hurricanes. Every five years, one of the hurricanes will become reach category five status, normally in the western Atlantic or western Caribbean. About every fifty years, one of these extremely intense hurricanes will strike the United States, with disastrous consequences. Texas has seen its share of hurricane activity over the many years it has been inhabited. Nearly five hundred years ago, unlucky Spanish explorers learned firsthand what storms along the coast of the Lone Star State were capable of. Despite these setbacks, Spaniards set down roots across Mexico and Texas and started colonies. Galleons filled with gold and other treasures sank to the bottom of the Gulf, off such locations as Padre and Galveston Islands.
  • Environment and Natural Resources

    Environment and Natural Resources

    A Guide To Historical Holdings in the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library NATURAL RESOURCES AND THE ENVIRONMENT Compiled By DAVID J. HAIGHT August 1994 NATURAL RESOURCES AND THE ENVIROMENT A Guide to Historical Materials in the Eisenhower Library Introduction Most scholars do not consider the years of the Eisenhower Administration to be a period of environmental action. To many historians and environmentalists, the push for reform truly began with the publication in 1962 of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, a critique of the use of pesticides, and the passage of the Wilderness Act in 1964. The roots of this environmental activity, however, reach back to the 1950s and before, and it is therefore important to examine the documentary resources of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library. Following World War II, much of America experienced economic growth and prosperity. More Americans than ever before owned automobiles and labor saving household appliances. This increase in prosperity and mobility resulted in social changes which contain the beginnings of the modern environmental movement. With much more mobility and leisure time available more Americans began seeking recreation in the nation's forests, parks, rivers and wildlife refuges. The industrial expansion and increased travel, however, had its costs. The United States consumed great quantities of oil and became increasingly reliant on the Middle East and other parts of the world to supply the nation’s growing demand for fuel. Other sources of energy were sought and for some, atomic power appeared to be the answer to many of the nation’s energy needs. In the American West, much of which is arid, ambitious plans were made to bring prosperity to this part of the country through massive water storage and hydroelectric power projects.

DE PAUL LAW REVIEW the result in the Wiley case is sound. But if Yates is strictly limited to cases where Congress has not fixed the statutory limits within which the district judge must confine his sentence, then Wiley has erroneously ex- tended the power of the court of appeals. Furthermore, in view of the fact that the court based its decision to a strong extent upon the disparity of the defendants' sentences, Wiley, if it is to be considered stare decisis, must be limited to those cases involving multiple defendants only. In ei- ther event, there is a strong possibility that Wiley v. United States will be sui generis. Many legal writers have favorably advocated appellate review of sen- tencing and have outlined their formulae for its eventual inception.8 5 But if Congress is to adopt a system which entitles the court of appeals to review the sentence imposed by the district court, it is suggested that it should do so only upon the following terms: (1) There should be no review unless a clear abuse of discretion is shown; and (2) If an abuse of discretion does exist, it should be disclosed by every factor which the trial court had at its disposal, namely: the complete record as evidenced by the trial transcript, any pre-sentencing reports, and confidential inves- tigative reports.
