  • An Artificial Distinction: Addressing Water Quantity Concerns Under the Clean Water Act
    An Artificial Distinction: Addressing water quantity concerns under the Clean Water Act Merritt Frey, River Network, September 2011 “Petitioners also assert…that the Clean Water Act is only concerned with water “quality,” and does not allow the regulation of water “quantity.” This is an artificial distinction.” Justice O’Connor writing for the Supreme Court in 511 U.S. 700(1994) (writing for the majority) Although fish and others who rely on our rivers don’t see the separation, our legal system has long treated water quality and quantity as unrelated concerns. Water quality is regulated by the federal Clean Water Act, while state laws govern water quantity. Aquatic and riparian habitat protection and restoration has been even more removed – when habitat issues are addressed at all, it is through a hodge-podge of statutes, regulations and voluntary programs at the federal, state and local level. Even within our landmark water quality law – the Clean Water Act – biological and physical components of our river systems have received far less attention than traditional chemical pollution issues. Although this is slowly changing, the power of the Act has not truly been brought to bear on issues of quantity or habitat. The goal of the paper is to identify Clean Water Act and related tools that could be better used to drive in-stream flow and habitat restoration and protection efforts. Our research focuses heavily on flow protection and restoration, but touches on habitat issues where appropriate. Our findings focus on several policy areas – including better utilizing bioassessement data, developing and implementing strong water quality standards, applying the states’ 401 water quality certification power more broadly to flow and habitat issues, and expanding creative use of the Total Maximum Daily Load program to better identify and remedy habitat and/or flow- related impairments.

  • Environmental Systems the Atmosphere and Hydrosphere
    Environmental Systems The atmosphere and hydrosphere THE ATMOSPHERE The atmosphere, the gaseous layer that surrounds the earth, formed over four billion years ago. During the evolution of the solid earth, volcanic eruptions released gases into the developing atmosphere. Assuming the outgassing was similar to that of modern volcanoes, the gases released included: water vapor (H2O), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrochloric acid (HCl), methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), nitrogen (N2) and sulfur gases. The atmosphere was reducing because there was no free oxygen. Most of the hydrogen and helium that outgassed would have eventually escaped into outer space due to the inability of the earth's gravity to hold on to their small masses. There may have also been significant contributions of volatiles from the massive meteoritic bombardments known to have occurred early in the earth's history. Water vapor in the atmosphere condensed and rained down, of radiant energy in the atmosphere. The sun's radiation spans the eventually forming lakes and oceans. The oceans provided homes infrared, visible and ultraviolet light regions, while the earth's for the earliest organisms which were probably similar to radiation is mostly infrared. cyanobacteria. Oxygen was released into the atmosphere by these early organisms, and carbon became sequestered in sedimentary The vertical temperature profile of the atmosphere is variable and rocks. This led to our current oxidizing atmosphere, which is mostly depends upon the types of radiation that affect each atmospheric comprised of nitrogen (roughly 71 percent) and oxygen (roughly 28 layer. This, in turn, depends upon the chemical composition of that percent).

It was prepared as part of the Bureau of Land Management's Cultural Resource Manage- ment Program and is the second complete history of a BLM district in Colorado. A major objective of the Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior, is the identification, evaluation and protection of the nation's historic heritage and values, particularly those under the management of the Bureau. The history of Southwestern Colorado is designed to provide a baseline narrative for Cultural Resource Management. Paul M. O'Rourke has written a new history of the southwest corner of Colorado and in doing so, has provided a timely and original view of Colorado's heritage and history. This study will become part of the over-all history of Colorado as prepared by the Bureau and as other volumes dealing with Colorado history are written, they too will be made available to the general public.
