D.2 AIR RESOURCES D.2.1 Regional and Background Information Regional Climate The Project site is located in southeastern California, in the Colorado Desert. The climate in the Blythe area is categorized as a desert climate, with dry, hot summers and mild winters. The region is characterized by extreme fluctuations of daily temperatures, strong seasonal winds, and clear skies. January is the coldest month, with a mean low temperature of 41.7 degrees Fahrenheit (°F). July is the hottest month, with a mean high temperature of 108.4°F. Temperature and precipitation data were measured at Blythe from July 1948 through June 2016 (Western Regional Climate Center [WRCC] 2018a). The mean temperature for the Blythe station is 73.7°F, and the mean annual precipitation is 3.55 inches. More than half of the precipitation occurs between November and March. Although rainfall occurs primarily in the winter months, the region is periodically influenced by subtropical weather conditions, especially sudden monsoonal late summer storms.

  • The Topock Remediation Project Transcript As Assistant Field
    Consulting with Indian Tribes: The Topock Remediation Project Transcript As assistant field manager in the Lake Havasu Field Office, we interact with a number of tribes in this area. One of the things that I do is I've been assigned to a number of projects that I work with them directly, one being the Topock Remediation Project. And in that, my first approach, and with me being relatively new to the area, I've been taking the time to learn the history of the project, as well as do what I can to learn the perspective with the tribes. The Topock Remediation Project is a project where we're cleaning up a chemical contaminate in the groundwater near the Colorado River. It's about 10 miles south of Needles, California on the California side of the Colorado River. Right next to Arizona and Nevada, in that area where all three of those states come together. One of the things that makes this project very sensitive is that it lands right within the middle of a very large and very sacred site having to do with the local Native American tribe in this area. The way that the BLM got involved with it is that we have primary control over the majority of the land mass where the project is taking place. So the Department of Interior assigned us as the lead representing the Bureau of Reclamation and the US Fish and Wildlife Service for Cultural Resources. And we use all of those tools and work together to help determine what the landscape looks like and how we can best use 106 consultation to responsibly take care of this area.

Romero This paper considers the works of poets Deborah A. Miranda and Natalie Diaz, from what is now known as the U.S. West and Southwest. I argue that their explorations of feeling at a corporeal level work to map newly imagined definitions of selfhood and geography, separate from the restrictions of federally constructed notions of Indigeneity and the erasures that occur in nationally constructed ideas of mestizaje. By reading their poetry as a language of queer feeling, I argue that they communicate a bodily knowledge that translates itself through the erotic. Through this intimate realm, Diaz and Miranda create new modes of defining place beyond the familiarity of their native California and Arizona, respectively.

PEEPS You need to Know NEW SHORT FILM CASTING North Country School program Water: Our most precious resource Commentary: Why do women steer clear of engineering? Honey's effects on human evolution excite UNLV anthropologist By Richard Lake LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL Apr. 16, 2012 Sometimes, life throws things at you. What you decide to do with them can mean nothing. Or it can mean everything. Like when Alyssa Crittenden was an undergraduate and she took an introduction to evolution class at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Whoa. Blew. Her. Away. "It changed my life," said Crittenden, now an anthropology professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas whose most recent study is shaking up the way anthropologists think about the evolution of the human diet. After that first class threw her a curve ball, Crittenden handled it like this: She gave up on being a doctor, she changed her major, she went on to get a doctorate degree, she decided to study the Hazda people in east Africa, and she noticed something kind-of odd living out there in the bush. The Hazda simply love honey. Yes, you're saying right now, of course they love honey. Who doesn't love honey? It's yummy! Well, yes. But. Would you risk your life to get it? These folks do. Which got Crittenden thinking. The wheels churning up in her brain, she began to do some research.

  • 2011'S Women Who Move the Valley
    2011's Women Who Move the Valley Written by Written by Melissa Larsen, Shala Marks, Elizabeth O’Malley, Claire Perkins and Christine Whitton/Photographed by Cassandra Tomei One is the voice of the Valley, filling the local airwaves for more than 20 years. Another is an educator who is helping to transform college-level education with the introduction of Arizona State University’s Downtown Phoenix Campus. Third is an award-winning designer who is encouraging Valley dwellers to ease stress on themselves and Mother Earth by changing the way they look at homes. Seven other inspiring women round out 2011’s Women Who Move the Valley—all of whom are at the top of their respective fields and making the Valley a better place to be, both in and out of the office. Deborah Bateman Executive Vice President of Specialty Banking and Marketing for National Bank of Arizona A second-generation Valley native, Deborah Bateman began her 40-year banking career as a teller trainee at Valley National Bank. Now at the helm of National Bank of Arizona in Phoenix, Bateman says it was being a teller that influenced her to stay within the banking field. “I can’t say that was what I focused on being but, once I got into the industry, I recognized my ability to serve others and help our community,” says the University of Washington in Seattle graduate. Bateman notes that working in banking requires more than just taking deposits and cashing checks. “You’re put in a position of influence where you can support your community and help others to be financially successful,” she says.
