  • How to Prepare for Traveling on I-70 in Glenwood Canyon (Spring 2021)

    How to Prepare for Traveling on I-70 in Glenwood Canyon (Spring 2021)

    How to prepare for traveling on I-70 in Glenwood Canyon (Spring 2021) I-70 in Glenwood Canyon Motorists traveling on Interstate 70 should prepare for reduced speeds, slick roads and limited visibility in Glenwood Canyon, as well as other spring weather conditions that are common along the I-70 mountain corridor. If there is rain in the forecast, motorists should anticipate a possible safety closure of I-70, rest areas and the Glenwood Canyon bike path in the canyon. These safety closures are to protect the traveling public from the potential for debris flow, mudslides or rockfall. Construction impacts will be much lighter on I-70 in Glenwood Canyon compared to Summer 2020. To ensure safety, motorists should plan for occasional lane closures, obey reduced speeds and drive with caution. CDOT also urges travelers to stay focused on the road and avoid distracted driving. Please see below for information about the Glenwood Canyon rest areas and bike path. How to plan ahead Motorists planning to travel on I-70, visit rest areas or ride the bike path in Glenwood Canyon should pay close attention to weather forecasts. I f there is rain in the forecast, be prepared for a safety closure of I-70, rest areas and bike path. CDOT recommends that travelers have a back up plan in the event that closures are necessary. Please refer to w ww.cotrip.org for the latest road conditions and route options. More information is below for planning an alternate route. CDOT also recommends that travelers bring an emergency kit with water, snacks, a flashlight and a blanket, as mountain conditions often change suddenly.

    2021 Rio Grande Valley/Deep S. Texas Hurricane Guide

    The Official Rio Grande Valley/Deep South Texas HURRICANE GUIDE 2021 IT ONLY TAKES ONE STORM! weather.gov/rgv A Letter to Residents After more than a decade of near-misses, 2020 reminded the Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas that hurricanes are still a force to be reckoned with. Hurricane Hanna cut a swath from Padre Island National Seashore in Kenedy County through much of the Rio Grande Valley in late July, leaving nearly $1 billion in agricultural and property damage it its wake. While many may now think that we’ve paid our dues, that sentiment couldn’t be further from the truth! The combination of atmospheric and oceanic patterns favorable for a landfalling hurricane in the Rio Grande Valley/Deep South Texas region can occur in any season, including this one. Residents can use the experience of Hurricane Hanna in 2020 as a great reminder to be prepared in 2021. Hurricanes bring a multitude of hazards including flooding rain, damaging winds, deadly storm surge, and tornadoes. These destructive forces can displace you from your home for months or years, and there are many recent cases in the United States and territories where this has occurred. Hurricane Harvey (2017), Michael (2018, Florida Panhandle), and Laura (2020, southwest Louisiana) are just three such devastating events. This guide can help you and your family get prepared. Learn what to do before, during and after a storm. Your plan should include preparations for your home or business, gathering supplies, ensuring your insurance is up to date, and planning with your family for an evacuation.

    THE NATIVE FISH FAUNA OF MAJOR DRAINAGES EAST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE IN NEW MEXICO A Thesis Presented to the Graduate Faculty of Biology Eastern New Mexico University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements fdr -the7Degree: Master of Science in Biology by Michael D. Hatch December 1984 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Introduction Study Area Procedures Results and Discussion Summary Acknowledgements Literature Cited Appendices Abstract INTRODUCTION r (t. The earliest impression of New Mexico's native fish fauna =Ems during the 1850's from naturalists attached to various government survey parties. Without the collections from these and other early surveys, the record of the native fish fauna would be severely deficient because, since that time, some 1 4 native species - or subspecies of fish have become extirpated and the ranges of an additionial 22 native species or subspecies have become severly re- stricted. Since the late Miocene, physiographical changes of drainages have linked New Mexico, to varying degrees, with contemporary ichthyofaunal elements or their progenitors from the Rocky Mountains, the Great Plains, the Chihuahuan Desert, the Mexican Plateau, the Sonoran Desert and the Great Basin. Immigra- tion from these areas contributed to the diversity of the state's native ichthyofauna. Over the millinea, the fate of these fishes waxed and waned in ell 4, response to the changing physical and _chenaca-l-conditions of the surrounding environment. Ultimately, one of the most diverse fish faunas of any of the interior southwestern states developed. Fourteen families comprising 67 species of fish are believed to have occupied New Mexico's waters historically, with strikingly different faunas evolving east and west of the Continental Divide.

    ROARING FORK CONSERVANCY Comprehensive Lower Fryingpan River Assessment 2013-2015 Summary Given current concerns over the health of the Fryingpan River and fishery, Roaring Fork Conservancy is pursuing a comprehensive study to better understand the current state of the Fryingpan, and create a long-term monitoring plan to track trends over time. Roaring Fork Conservancy’s initial aquatic studies will examine macroinvertebrates, flows, and water temperatures. In addition, we will conduct an assessment of the American dipper population, the extent of Didymosphenia Geminata, and update the 2002 Fryingpan Valley Economic Study to evaluate the role of the river in community vitality. Roaring Fork Conservancy will also work with Ruedi Water and Power Authority, Bureau of Reclamation, Colorado River Water Conservation District, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to investigate how new and existing contracts for Ruedi Reservoir water can be managed to ensure river and associated economic health. Upon completion of these studies, Roaring Fork Conservancy will disseminate the findings to federal, state and local government agencies and residents of the Fryingpan River Valley. Goal To ensure the environmental and economic sustainability of the Lower Fryingpan River, including its designation as a “Gold Medal Fishery”. Objectives Assess the current biological health of the Lower Fryingpan River and if impaired identify potential causal factors and solutions. Recommend a long-term monitoring strategy for the Fryingpan River. Update Roaring Fork Conservancy’s 2002 Fryingpan Valley Economic Study. Determine and pursue voluntary and, if necessary, policy/legislative solutions for managing releases from Ruedi Reservoir to prevent negative economic and environmental impacts. Components & Time Frame ROARING FORK CONSERVANCY Comprehensive Lower Fryingpan River Assessment 2013-2014 1 BACKGROUND The headwaters of the Fryingpan sub-watershed drain westward from the Continental Divide into the Fryingpan River, which meets the Roaring Fork River at Basalt.

C.; Callender, J. F.; [eds.], New Mexico Geological Society 32nd Annual Fall Field Conference Guidebook, 337 p. This is one of many related papers that were included in the 1981 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.

    Figure H - 2008 State of Aspen Area Report Re: Existing Conditions for ABC Area AABC/BUTTERMILK/AIRPORT SUB-AREA Natural Environment Wildlife Habitat. A very small portion of the neighborhood (on the northwest corner of the Airport Ranch property) contains Elk winter range habitat. With the exception of the Airport Ranch and areas immediately adjacent to the Roaring Fork River, critical wildlife habitat is not signifi cantly mapped in this area. Vegetation/Wildfi re Hazard. The steeper portions of West Buttermilk, the Airport Ranch and the Harvey properties are mapped as having a severe wildfi re hazard. The remainder of the neighborhood is mapped as a low wildfi re hazard area. Visual Quality. The area, while developed, has a somewhat open feel due to uses like the airport, Buttermilk Ski Area and Maroon Creek Club Golf Course. Though additional development may occur at the airport and the Buttermilk Ski Area, these properties will continue to provide de facto open space within the area. Additional development of vacant land in the area of the Burlingame Ranch Affordable Housing and Double Bar X Ranch projects will be occurring over the next several years or more, and this may change the visual character in the southern portion of the area, particularly as viewed from the north-bound lanes of the Maroon Creek Bridge and the Aspen Municipal Golf Course. There are views of the Ajax, Highlands and Buttermilk Ski areas from various locations within the area as well as views of Red Mountain and Smuggler Mountain. Virtually the entire area is included within the mapped Scenic View Protection area.
