Box 207 Pearce, Arizona 85625 2 EARLY HUNTERS AND GATHERERS IN SOUTHEASTERN ARIZONA* By Ric Windmiller Assistant Archaeologist, Arizona State Museum, University of Arizona During the summer, 1970, the Arizona State Museum, in co- operation with the State Highway Department and Cochise County, excavated an ancient pre-pottery archaeological site and remains of a mammoth near Double Adobe, Arizona.. Although highway salvage archaeology has been carried out in the state since 1955, last sum- mer's work on Whitewater Draw, near Double Adobe, represented the first time that either the site of early hunters and gatherers or re- mains of extinct mammoth had been recovered through the salvage program. In addition, excavation of the pre-pottery Cochise culture site on a new highway right-of-way has revealed vital evidence for the reconstruction of prehistoric life-ways in southeastern Arizona, an area that is little known archaeologically, yet which has produced evidence to indicate that it was early one of the most important areas for the development of and a settled way of life in the Southwest. \ Early Big Game Hunters Southeastern Arizona is also important as the area in which the first finds in North America of extinct faunal remains overlying cul- tural evidences of man were scientifically excavated.

Pied-billed Grebe––1 at the Willcox golf pond Great Blue Heron––at the Elgin wetland and flying behind Casa de San Pedro Black-crowned Night-Heron––1 immature flushed at the Willcox golf pond White-faced Ibis––2 distant birds at Whitewater and others flying over the Willcox ponds Black Vulture––a single perched on the cliff above Patagonia’s roadside rest, great scope views for all. Turkey Vulture––throughout White-tailed Kite––3 in the Elgin grasslands, what a thrill to see them at dusk, after a very full day Northern Harrier––1 in the Elgin grasslands Cooper’s Hawk––1 near Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve, one very close by as we passed it on the road leaving Tucson Gray Hawk––heard only in several locations in the lowlands. With ample time in two of its favorite haunts, we were surprised not to get “cracking” views. Swainson’s Hawk––fairly common along the roadsides on most days, particularly noticeable near Portal.

Elements of Environmental Flow WWith Arizona’s population growth and Occurring in Seasonal Hydrographs continued drought, citizens and water managers have been taking a closer look at water supplies in the state. Municipal, industrial, and agricul- tural water users are well-represented demand sectors, but water supplies and management to benefit the environment are not often consid- ered. This bulletin explains environmental water demands in Arizona and introduces information essential for considering environmental water demands in water management discussions. Considering water for the environment is impor- tant because humans have an interconnected and interdependent relationship with the envi- ronment.

  • Navajo Nation Surface Water Quality Standards 2015

    Navajo Nation Surface Water Quality Standards 2015

    Presented below are water quality standards that are in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. EPA is posting these standards as a convenience to users and has made a reasonable effort to assure their accuracy. Additionally, EPA has made a reasonable effort to identify parts of the standards that are not approved, disapproved, or are otherwise not in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. July 22, 2021 Navajo Nation Surface Water Quality Standards 2015 Effective March 17, 2021 The federal Clean Water Act (CWA) requires states and federally recognized Indian tribes to adopt water quality standards in order to "restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation's Waters" (CWA, 1988). The attached WQS document is in effect for Clean Water Act purposes with the exception of the following provisions. Navajo Nation’s previously approved criteria for these provisions remain the applicable for CWA purposes. The “Navajo Nation Surface Water Quality Standards 2015” (NNSWQS 2015) made changes amendments to the “Navajo Nation Surface Water Quality Standards 2007” (NNSWQS 2007). For federal Clean Water Act permitting purposes, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) must approve these changes to the NNSWQS 2007 which are found in the NNSWQS 2015. The USEPA did not approve of three specific changes which were made to the NNSWQS 2007 and are in the NNSWQS 2015. (October 15, 2020 Letter from USEPA to Navajo Nation Environmental Protection Agency). The three specific changes which USEPA did not accept are: 1) Aquatic and Wildlife Habitat Designated Use - Suspended Solids Changes (NNSWQS 2015 Section 207.E) The suspended soils standard for aquatic and wildlife habitat designated use was changed to only apply to flowing (lotic) surface waters and not to non-flowing (lentic) surface waters.

    Historical Geomorphology .. and Hydrology of the Santa Cruz River

    Historical Geomorphology .. and Hydrology of the Santa Cruz River Michelle Lee Wood, P. Kyle House, and Philip A. Pearthree Arizona Geological Survey Open-File Report 99-13 July 1999 Text 98 p., 1 sheet, scale 1: 100,000 Investigations supported by the Arizona State Land Department as part of their efforts to gather technical information for a stream navigability assessment This report is preliminary and has not been edited or reviewed for conformity with Arizona Geological Survey standards. EXTENDED ABSTRACT This report provides baseline information on the physical characteristics of the Santa Cruz River to be used by the Arizona Stream Navigability Commission in its determination of the potential navigability of the Santa Cruz River at the time of Statehood. The primary goals of this report are: (1) to give a descriptive overview of the geography, geology, climatology, vegetation and hydrology that define the character of the Santa Cruz River; and, (2) to describe how the character of the Santa Cruz River has changed since the time of Statehood with special focus on the streamflow conditions and geomorphic changes such as channel change and movement. This report is based on a review of the available literature and analyses of historical survey maps, aerial photographs, and U.S. Geological Survey streamgage records. The Santa Cruz River has its source at the southern base of the Canelo Hills in the Mexican Highlands portion of the Basin and Range province. The river flows south through the San Rafael Valley before crossing the international border into Mexico. It describes a loop of about 30 miles before it re-enters the United States six miles east of Nogales, and continues northward past Tucson to its confluence with the Gila River a few miles above the mouth of the Salt River.

Ciénegas of the American Southwest have all but vanished due to environmental changes brought about by man. Being well- watered sites surrounded by dry lands variously classified as "desert," "arid," or "semi- arid," they were of extreme importance to pre- historic and modern Homo sapiens, animals and plants of the Desert Southwest.
