    U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Tri-state Fuel Breaks Project Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Volume 1) DOI-BLM-ID-B000-2015-0001-EIS October 2019 Boise District Office 3948 Development Ave. Boise, Idaho 83705 Vale District Office 100 Oregon St. Vale, Oregon 97918 Estimated Lead Agency Total Costs Associated with Developing and Producing This DEIS $1,408,000 The Bureau of Land Management’s multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands. Executive Summary Introduction This draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) evaluates creating and maintaining a system of roadside fuel breaks to improve suppression coordination and response across the Tri-state area where southeastern Oregon, southwestern Idaho, and northern Nevada converge. This area contains the largest expanse of intact sagebrush steppe in North America, an ecosystem that supports diverse wildlife and is critically imperiled by the threat of wildland fire. The project area encompasses 3.6 million acres across the southeastern corner of Oregon and southwestern corner of Idaho. The proposed fuel breaks would connect to existing fuel breaks within northern Nevada to improve firefighting coordination across jurisdictional and state boundaries and better protect this threatened landscape. Purpose and Need The purpose of the action alternatives is to provide a network of safe areas and strategic opportunities to enable wildland fire suppression resources in the Tri-state area to more rapidly and effectively protect natural and cultural resources and socioeconomic values from wildfires.

  • The Tectonomagmatic Evolution of the Late Cenozoic Owyhee Plateau, Northwestern United States
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Kurt A. Shoemaker Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy William K. Hart, Director Elisabeth Widom, Reader Craig M. White, Reader John M. Hughes Michael J. Pechan, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT THE TECTONOMAGMATIC EVOLUTION OF THE LATE CENOZOIC OWYHEE PLATEAU, NORTHWESTERN UNITED STATES by Kurt A. Shoemaker The Owyhee Plateau (OWP) is an intermontane basalt plateau located at the nexus of the Snake River Plain (SRP) and Oregon Plateau/High Lava Plains (OP/HLP) volcanic provinces, which has been the locus of nearly continuous basaltic magmatism since 17 Ma. Between 17-11 Ma, generally evolved basaltic lavas related to the Steens flood basalt event and Oregon-Idaho Graben (OIG) volcanism were erupted around the extending margins of the OWP. Beginning 11 Ma, less differentiated olivine tholeiites were erupted throughout the OWP proper, from low shield vents with alignments consistent with regional stress fields. After 5 Ma, volcanism retreated to the margins of the OWP, ultimately becoming limited to the northern transition region between the OWP and the OIG. The youngest basalts in the OWP region are <0.25 Ma mildly alkaline basalts erupted in this transition region. The OWP is the only location in the northwestern US where basalt types characteristic of the OP/HLP (high-alumina olivine tholeiite, HAOT) and the SRP (SRP- type olivine tholeiite, SROT) occur together in significant quantity, in close spatial and temporal association, and with a full spectrum of compositions intermediate between the two. Sr, Nd, and Pb isotopic characteristics are decoupled from bulk chemistry, and reflect time-dependent variations in contributions from different lithospheric and sublithospheric mantle reservoirs.
