    MP Region Public Affairs, 916-978-5100, http://www.usbr.gov/mp, February 2016 Mid-Pacific Region, Newlands Project History The Newlands Project was one of the first Reclamation projects. It provides irrigation water from the Truckee and Carson Rivers for about 57,000 acres of cropland in the Lahontan Valley near Fallon and bench lands near Fernley in western Nevada. In addition, water from about 6,000 acres of project land has been transferred to the Lahontan Valley Wetlands near Fallon. Lake Tahoe Dam, a small dam at the outlet of Lake Tahoe, the source of the Truckee Lake Tahoe Dam and Reservoir River, controls releases into the river. Downstream, the Derby Diversion Dam diverts the water into the Truckee Canal and Lahontan Dam, Reservoir, carries it to the Carson River. Other features and Power Plant include Lahontan Dam and Reservoir, Carson River Diversion Dam, and Old Lahontan Dam and Reservoir on the Carson Lahontan Power Plant. The Truckee-Carson River store the natural flow of the Carson project (renamed the Newlands Project) was River along with water diverted from the authorized by the Secretary of the Interior Truckee River. The dam, completed in 1915, on March 14, 1903. Principal features is a zoned earthfill structure. The reservoir include: has a storage capacity of 289,700 acre-feet. Old Lahontan Power Plant, immediately below Lahontan Dam, has a capacity of Lake Tahoe Dam 42,000 kilowatts. The plant was completed in 1911. Lake Tahoe Dam controls the top six feet of Lake Tahoe. With the surface area of the lake, this creates a reservoir of 744,600 acre- Truckee Canal feet capacity and regulates the lake outflow into the Truckee River.

  • Draft Environmental Assessment for Fallon and Stillwater Hunt Plans
    Draft Environmental Assessment for Waterfowl, Other Migratory Birds, Upland Game, and Big Game Hunting at Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge and Fallon National Wildlife Refuge Date: March 2020 This Environmental Assessment (EA) is being prepared to evaluate the effects associated with this proposed action and complies with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in accordance with Council on Environmental Quality regulations (40 CFR 1500-1509) and Department of the Interior (43 CFR 46; 516 DM 8) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (550 FW 3) regulations and policies. NEPA requires examination of the effects of proposed actions on the natural and human environment. Proposed Action: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is proposing to open hunting opportunities for antelope (also called pronghorn) on Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge (NWR or Refuge), and to open Fallon National Wildlife Refuge (NWR or Refuge) to hunting waterfowl, other migratory birds, upland game, big game, and other species. In 2003, the Service signed a Record of Decision for the final Comprehensive Conservation Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (CCP-EIS) for the Stillwater NWR Complex. This draft EA is tiered from the 2002 CCP-EIS and focuses specifically on adding opportunities for antelope hunting at Stillwater NWR and opening the Fallon NWR to hunting as described in the Hunt Plan. This proposed action is often iterative and evolves over time during the process as the agency refines its proposal and learns more from the public, tribes, and other agencies. Therefore, the final proposed action may be different from the original. The final decision on the proposed action will be made at the conclusion of the public comment period for the EA and the Draft 2020-2021 Refuge-Specific Hunting and Sport Hunting Regulations.

  • 5.1 Historic Period Human Interaction with the Watershed
    Upper Carson River Watershed Stream Corridor Assessment 5. Human Interaction With the Watershed 5.1 Historic Period Human Interaction With the Watershed The purpose of this section is to summarize human activities that have had some effect on the Carson River watershed in Alpine County, California. Regional prehistory and ethnography are summarized by Nevers (1976), Elston (1982), d’Azevedo (1986), and Lindstrom et al. (2000). Details of regional history can be found in Maule (1938), Jackson (1964), Dangberg (1972), Clark (1977), Murphy (1982), Marvin (1997), and other sources. A book published by the Centennial Book Committee (1987) contains an excellent selection of historic photographs. Particularly useful is a study on the historical geography of Alpine County by Howatt (1968). 5.1.1 Prehistoric Land Use Human habitation of the Upper Carson River Watershed extends thousands of years back into antiquity. Archaeological evidence suggests use of the area over at least the last 8,000 to 9,000 years. For most of that time, the land was home to small bands of Native Americans. Their number varied over time, depending on regional environmental conditions. For at least the last 2,000 years, the Washoe occupied the Upper Carson River Watershed. Ethnographic data provides clues as to past land use and land management practices (see extended discussions in Downs 1966; Blackburn and Anderson 1993; Lindstrom et al. 2000; Rucks 2002). A broad range of aboriginal harvesting and hunting practices, fishing, and camp tending would have affected the landscape and ecology of the study area. Shrubs such as service berry and willow were pruned to enhance growth.

  • Aquatic Trail Extends from the BLM River Access Area at Sierra Vista Lane 10.1 Miles Downstream to the Lyon County Line (See Map)
    10 AQ U ATIC TRAIL The Carson River through Carson City is a beautiful resource that provides a source of water, wildlife habitat, and recreational oppor- tunities such as fishing, swimming and boating. The undeveloped na ture of the Carson River offers unique scenic and recreational opportuni- ties adjacent to the urban core. An exceptional feature of the river is that it offers two different segments that provide excellent boating opportunities to both beginner and intermediate skill levels. The Carson City portion of the Carson River Aquatic Trail extends from the BLM river access area at Sierra Vista Lane 10.1 miles downstream to the Lyon County line (see Map). This river section currently has pub- lic access points, active public river use, and approximately 30% of it is bounded by public lands. 10.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE CARSON RIVER The Carson River begins in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and flows over 180 miles to its terminus in Lahontan Reservoir and the Carson Sink. The Carson River’s primary source of water is from precipitation and snow pack in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The East and West forks of the Carson River merge on the west side of the Carson Valley, near Genoa in Douglas County, Nevada. From Genoa, the main stem of the Carson River flows to the northeast out of Carson Valley and into Eagle Valley on the east side of Carson City. The river then turns east and cuts through the Carson River Canyon, Dayton Valley, Churchill Valley, and ultimately terminates in the Lahontan Reservoir and the Carson Sink.
