The Santa Fe to Pojoaque Corridor Testing Project MUSEUM OF NEW MEXICO OFFICE OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDIES THE SANTA FE TO POJOAQUE CORRIDOR TESTING PROJECT: ARCHAEOLOGICAL TESTING RESULTS FROM FIVE SITES AND A DATA RECOVERY PLAN FOR THE PREHISTORIC SITES ALONG U.S. 84/285 NORTH OF SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO edited by Jeffrey L. Boyer and Steven A. Lakatos Contributions by Nancy J. Akins Jeffrey L. Boyer Steven A. Lakatos Pamela McBride James L. Moore Mollie S. Toll C. Dean Wilson Submitted by Timothy D. Maxwell Principal Investigator ARCHAEOLOGY NOTES 265 SANTA FE 2000 NEW MEXICO ADMINISTRATIVE SUMMARY Between September 21 and October 29, 1999, the Office of Archaeological Studies (OAS), Museum of New Mexico, conducted test excavations at archaeological sites LA 388, LA 389, LA 391, LA 835, and LA 3119. These investigations were undertaken at the request of the New Mexico State Highway and Transportation Department (NMSHTD) in conjunction with proposed highway improvements and construction along U.S. 84/285 between Santa Fe and Pojoaque, Santa Fe County, New Mexico. Portions of these five previously identified sites extended into the proposed project limits and required evaluation beyond the archaeological survey level of investigation. Prior to field investigations, landowner permission agreements, permits from state and federal agencies, and underground utility locations were obtained. In addition, proposed and existing rights- of-way limits at each site location were identified and staked. Archaeological testing investigations were conducted within existing or proposed rights-of-way. Archaeological testing identified intact surface and subsurface remains within existing and proposed project limits at each site. Additional data recovery investigations are recommended at sites LA 388, LA 389, LA 391, LA 835, and LA 3119. This report presents site descriptions, site histories, testing procedures, results, and recommendations for the five prehistoric sites located within the northern portion of the proposed project area. In addition, this report contains a plan for data recovery investigations at all prehistoric sites within the proposed project area that are or will be recommended for additional investigations. Test excavations and data recovery efforts at all prehistoric sites within the proposed project area are linked to a common research orientation and to common field and laboratory data recovery methods. This research will focus on, but not be limited to, inter- and intraregional social and ideological relationships, community formation, economic and subsistence strategies, and ethnic identities in the Tewa Basin.

  • Savannah River Plant, Aiken, Alternative
    h.2.l.2 Operational Impacts Socioeconomics The small number of additional workers (four) associated with the operation of the once-through cooling tower at C--Reactor would not cause any noticeable socioeconomic impacts in the study area. Historic and Archeological Resources The operation of a once—through cooling tower for C-Reactor would not impact any historic or archaeological resources. Anticipated flows in Four Mile Creek would be nearly the same as those at present, with little change in streani morphology. An archaeological and historic resources survey in the Four Mile Creek watershed area located no significant sites requiring impact mitigation (Appendix E). Water Quality and Hydrology The once-through cooling tower would impact water quality in Castor and Four Mile Creeks and the Savannah River swamp primarily by lowering instream temperatures to meet the State of South Carolina's Class B water classi from the tower discharge fication standard of 32.2°C. Water temperatures TC would be at a maximum of about 32°C (Table 2-h) under extreme summer conditions. During an average summer (June-August), the water discharged from the tower would be about 29°C, which compares to an ambient creek temperature of 25°C. The cooling tower would be designed and operated in a manner that would meet the Maximum Weekly Average Temperature (MWAT) criteria (EPA, 1977) to minimize thermal shock of fish that could occur with a reactor outage (Muhlbaier, 1986). Because expected instream temperatures during winter and spring average conditions would be raised more than 2.8°C above ambient due to the operation of the cooling—tower system, a Section 3116(a) Demonstration study BB—3 would be performed after construction and submitted to SCDHEC; this study would demonstrate if effluent temperature conditions would ensure the protection and propagation of a, balanced indigenous population of fish and wildlife in and on the waters affected by the discharge.

  • Facing Addiction's Letter
    July 26, 2018 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Charles Schumer Majority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States Senate S-230 U.S. Capitol S-221 U.S. Capitol Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable John Cornyn The Honorable Dick Durbin Majority Whip Minority Whip United States Senate United States Senate 517 Hart Senate Building 711 Hart Senate Building Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Senators McConnell, Cornyn, Schumer and Durbin, The undersigned organizations and individuals write to strongly urge the Senate to consider comprehensive legislation to address the opioid crisis before August. It is important that any measure include the full-spectrum of prevention, treatment and recovery efforts in order to adequately address the opioid misuse and overdose epidemic. We are grateful for your leadership and the considerable time Congress has dedicated to addressing this issue, and we share your interest in passing meaningful legislation this summer with enough new funding to have a significant impact on the opioid epidemic. There is an urgent need for Congress to swiftly send legislation to the President to implement important polices to prevent and treat opioid misuse and addiction, support people in recovery, and reduce overdose deaths. The House has acted, and now we ask for the Senate to act as well. The cost of the opioid epidemic is too high to defer consideration of legislation. Every day that we put off action, we leave hundreds of thousands without treatment and recovery and put thousands of lives at risk. We respectfully ask that the Senate to take up a comprehensive legislative package addressing opioid and substance misuse expeditiously, so that legislation to meaningfully curb the opioid epidemic can be signed into law at once.
