  • Brenda SEZ Analysis: Draft PEIS
    1 8 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR 2 PROPOSED SOLAR ENERGY ZONES IN ARIZONA 3 4 5 8.1 BRENDA 6 7 8 8.1.1 Background and Summary of Impacts 9 10 11 8.1.1.1 General Information 12 13 The proposed Brenda Solar Energy Zone (SEZ) is located in La Paz County in west- 14 central Arizona (Figure 8.1.1.1-1), 32 mi (52 km) east of the California border. The SEZ has a 15 total area of 3,878 acres (16 km2). In 2008, the county population was 20,005, while adjacent 16 Riverside County to the west in California had a population of 2,087,917. The towns of 17 Quartzsite and Salome in La Paz County are about 18 mi (29 km) west of, and 18 mi (29 km) 18 east of, the SEZ respectively. The Phoenix metropolitan area is approximately 100 mi (161 km) 19 to the east of the SEZ, and Los Angeles is approximately 230 mi (370 km) to the west. 20 21 The nearest major road access to the SEZ is via U.S. 60, which runs southwest to 22 northeast, along the southeast border of the Brenda SEZ. The nearest railroad stop is 11 mi 23 (18 km) away. The nearest airports serving the area are the Blythe and Parker (Avi Suquilla) 24 Airports, both approximately 50 mi (80 km) from the SEZ, and neither of which have scheduled 25 commercial passenger service. The Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix is 125 mi (201 km) to the 26 east, and Yuma International Airport in Yuma is 104 mi (167 km) to the south, of the SEZ.

  • Gold Deposits Near Quartzsite, Arizona
    GOLD DEPOSITS NEAR QUARTZSITE, ARIZONA. By EDWARD L. JONES, Jr. INTRODUCTION. This report is based on information obtained by the writer in April and May, 1914,. while he was classifying the lands in the Colorado River Indian Reservation. The area considered includes the south­ ern part of the reservation and the region extending eastward from the reservation to the Plomosa Mountains. The geology and ore deposits within the reservation were more particularly studied, the time allotted to the examination being too short to permit detailed work in the area farther east. For information concerning placers outside the reservation the writer is indebted to Mr. E. L. Du- fourcq, who conducted the testing of placer .ground near Quartz- site. Mr. W. W. McCoy, of San Bernardino, kindly furnished the early history of the La Paz district, and Mr. Edward Beggs, of Quartzsite, gave much useful information regarding the La Paz placers. In 1909 Howland Bancroft x made a geologic reconnaissance of northern Yuma County .and much of the country around Quartz- site and farther west to the reservation line. In his report he men­ tions the La Paz district and briefly describes placers in the Plomosa Mountains and prospects on gold-bearing quartz veins in the vicinity of Quartzsite. The map that accompanies the present report (PI. IV) is compiled from the records of the General Land Office. The area within the reservation has been subdivided into sections; the land east of the reservation is unsurveyed. The mountainous areas in the reserva­ tion are indicated on this map by patterns showing the geologic rock formations; the mountains in the unsurveyed area are repre­ sented approximately by hachures.

  • Request for Joint Petition to Amend to Delete TRANS-8
    DOCKETED Docket Number: 09-AFC-06C Project Title: Blythe Solar Power Project - Compliance TN #: 232709 Document Title: Request For Joint Petition To Amend to Delete TRANS-8 Description: N/A Filer: Scott Galati Organization: DayZenLLC Submitter Role: Applicant Representative Submission Date: 4/10/2020 10:58:28 AM Docketed Date: 4/10/2020 BLYTHE SOLAR POWER PROJECT REQUEST FOR JOINT PETITION To AMEND DELETION OF TRANS-8 Submitted by: NextEra Blythe Solar Energy Center, LLC Submitted to: California Energy Commission April 2020 Prepared by: Section 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND NextEra Blythe Solar Energy Center, LLC (Blythe Solar), a wholly owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources LLC, is the current owner of the Blythe Solar Power Project (BSPP). Blythe Solar files this Request For a Joint Petition To Amend1 (Petition) to delete Condition of Certification TRANS-8 which requires that Blythe Solar provide an avigation easement executed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). BLM will not encumber its land with such an avigation easement, therefore making it a legal impossibility for Blythe Solar to comply with TRANS-8. As discussed in this Petition, TRANS-8 was included in the original and amended Final Decisions in order to ensure compliance with a provision requiring an avigation easement in the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission Airport Master Plan (Airport Master Plan). The requirement was determined to be a Law, Ordinance, Regulation, or Standard (LORS) and was not included to mitigate any potential environmental impact. Further research definitely proves that the requirements of the Airport Master Plan are inapplicable to BLM land and therefore should not have been applied to the BSPP as a LORS.

Eisenhuth GEOLOGICAL SURVEY CIRCULAR 579 Washington J 968 United States Department of the Interior STEWART L. UDALL, Secretary Geological Survey William T. Pecora, Director Free on application to the U.S. Geological Survey, Washington, D.C. 20242 Index of Surface-Water Records to September 30, 1967 Part 9 .-Colorado River Basin By H. P. Eisenhuth INTRODUCTION This report lists the streamflow and reservoir stations in the Colorado River basin for which records have been or are to bepublishedinreportsoftheGeological Survey for periods through September 30, 1967. It supersedes Geobgical Survey Circular 509. Basic data on surface-water supply have been published in an annual series of water-supply papers consisting of several volumes, including one each for the States of Alaska and Hawaii. The area of the other 48 States is divided into 14 parts whose boundaries coincide with certain natural drainage lines. Prior to 1951, the records for the 48 States were published in 14 volumes, one for each of the parts. From 1951 to 1960, the records for the 48 States were pub~.ished annually in 18 volumes, there being 2 volumes each for Parts 1, 2, 3, and 6. The boundaries of the various parts are shown on the map in figure 1. Beginning in 1961, the annual series ofwater-supplypapers on surface-water supply was changed to a 5-year S<~ries. Records for the period 1961-65 will bepublishedin a series of water-supply papers using the same 14-part division for the 48 States, but most parts will be further subdivided into two or more volumes.

  • Codes for the Identification of Hydrologic Units in the United States and the Caribbean Outlying Areas Date of Approval: July 1981 Maintenance Organization: U.S
    A U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY DATA STANDARD This report describes one of a series of data standards adopted and im¬ plemented by the U.S. Geological Survey for the standardization of data elements and representations used in automated Earth-science systems. Earth sciences are those scientific disciplines especially required to carry out the mission of the Geological Survey and are concerned with the material and morphology of the Earth and physical forces relating to the Earth. These disciplines include geology, topography, geography, and hydrology. The Geological Survey has assumed the leadership in developing and main¬ taining Earth-science data element and representation standards for use in the Federal establishment under the terms of a Memorandum of Understand¬ ing signed in February 1980 by the National Bureau of Standards of the Department of Commerce and the Geological Survey, a Bureau of the Depart¬ ment of the Interior. As such, in addition to developing and maintaining standards, the Geological Survey reviews and processes all requests referred by the National Bureau of Standards for exceptions, deferments, and revi¬ sion of standards applicable to Federal Earth-science information systems; assists the National Bureau of Standards in assessing the need, impact, benefits, and problems related to the implementation of standards being con¬ sidered for development, or developed, for use in the Earth sciences; and works with other agencies in developing new data standards in the Earth sciences. The standard described in this report has been specifically approved for use within the U.S. Geological Survey. If the standard has been approved for use throughout the Federal establishment, it is also published by the National Bureau of Standards as a Federal Information Processing Standard.
