Proyecto “Los Santos Solar II” II. Descripción de proyecto II.1 Información general de proyecto Con base en el Acuerdo publicado en el Diario Oficial de la Federación el día 22 de diciembre del año 2010 por medio del cual la Secretaria de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (SEMARNAT, 2010), expidió los lineamientos y procedimientos para que un trámite único se solicite la autorización en Materia de Impacto Ambiental y en Materia Forestal, se formuló el Documento Técnico Unificado (DTU). El presente Documento Técnico Unificado modalidad-B Regional, se lleva a cabo como un requisito para la implementación del proyecto denominado “Los Santos Solar II”, ya que se considera la necesidad de realizar una evaluación que determine la mejor solución a la mitigación del impacto ambiental, debido a que la zona donde se pretende desarrollar el proyecto se encuentra en un ecosistema árido. La realización del proyecto implica el Cambio de Uso del Suelo en Terrenos Forestales (CUSTF) por un uso de suelo idóneo para las necesidades de la propuesta. En el presente estudio se muestran las estrategias de mitigación para la remediación ambiental asociados al proceso del propósito. Para el diseño de la Planta, el aspecto ecológico se ha tenido en cuenta de manera importante, evitando los efectos ambientales tanto como sea posible. Todas las actividades del proyecto deben llevarse a cabo de conformidad con los estándares, códigos, legislación y recomendaciones sobre protección ambiental y equilibrio ecológico indicados en esta especificación. Antecedentes En el año 2014 se presentó a la Dirección General de Impacto y Riesgo Ambiental (DGIRA) para su análisis y evaluación la Manifestación de Impacto Ambiental para la construcción y operación de un parque solar compuesto por 74,240 módulos solares con una capacidad de 305 watts en una superficie de 100.215 hectáreas, denominado “Los Santos I y II”. Ese mismo año la DGIRA dictamino autorizarlo de manera condicionada mediante oficio SGPA/DGIRA/DG/10127. Sin embargo, debido a las condiciones económicas que se presentaron durante su ejecución, únicamente fue posible la construcción de un parque fotovoltaico de 36.6900332 hectáreas. Como resultado se modificó el nombre del proyecto a “Los Santos Solar I”. Dicha modificación fue notificada a la autoridad por medio del Primer Informe Anual sobre el Cumplimiento a Términos y Condicionantes en Materia de Impacto Ambiental del oficio previamente referido.

    Flora of the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area, Cochise County, Arizona Elizabeth Makings School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ Abstract—The flora of the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area (SPRNCA) consists of 618 taxa from 92 families, including a new species of Eriogonum and four new State records. The vegetation communities include Chihuahuan Desertscrub, cottonwood-willow riparian cor- ridors, mesquite terraces, sacaton grasslands, rocky outcrops, and cienegas. Species richness is enhanced by factors such as perennial surface water, unregulated flood regimes, influences from surrounding floristic provinces, and variety in habitat types. The SPRNCA represents a fragile and rare ecosystem that is threatened by increasing demands on the regional aquifer. Addressing the driving forces causing groundwater loss in the region presents significant challenges for land managers. potential value of a species-level botanical inventory may not Introduction be realized until well into the future.

  • A Preliminary Vegetation Classification of the Tombstone, Arizona, Vicinity
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF EDMUNDO GARCIA-MOYA for theDOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (Name) (Degree) ANIMAL SCIENCE in (RANGELAND RESOURCES) presented onfi,?,(2;2-01) / Yj) Qi (Major) (Date) Title: A PRELIMINARY VEGETATION CLASSIFICATION OF THE TOMBSTONE, ARIZONA, VICINITY Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: C. E. Poulton The need for classifying vegetation in a more precise wayis evident.Also, there is a need to provide a hierarchicalclassification scheme that will match changes in image characteristics as one moves through the scales from spaceto conventional aerial photo- graphy.Such refined classifications of vegetation are thefirst steps toward a better understanding of the potentialities andlimitations of a specified area which help in the detection of analogousenvironmental conditions for resource allocation and management purposes.These needs become more urgent as use and competitionfor natural resources and land increases.The first approximation of a classification scheme may meet these needs for a test site inthe Tombstone, Arizona, vicinity.This classification task was accomplished by the use of a "hierarchical- polythetic-agglomerative" package using presence-absence data and standardized cover esti- mates, The following tentative associations and a variant were found upon division of the original data into groups of convenient size to meet the limitations of the programs: Association A (Panicum hirticaule/Tidestromia lanuginosa- Boerhaavia coulteri) la (a variant of Association A) Association B (Rhus microphylla-Dalea formosa)

    VASCULAR FLORA OF WEST CLEAR CREEK WILDERNESS, COCONINO AND YAVAPAI COUNTIES, ARIZONA By Wendy C. McBride A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Biology Northern Arizona University May 2016 Approved: Tina J. Ayers, Ph.D., Chair Randall W. Scott, Ph.D. Liza M. Holeski, Ph.D. ABSTRACT VASCULAR FLORA OF WEST CLEAR CREEK WILDERNESS, COCONINO AND YAVAPAI COUNTIES, ARIZONA WENDY C. MCBRIDE West Clear Creek Wilderness bisects the Mogollon Rim in Arizona, and is nested between the Colorado Plateau and Basin and Range physiographic provinces. Between 2013 and 2016, a floristic inventory vouchered 542 taxa and reviewed 428 previous collections to produce a total plant inventory of 594 taxa from 93 families and 332 genera. The most species rich families Were Asteraceae, Poaceae, Fabaceae, Brassicaceae, Rosaceae, Plantaginaceae, Cyperaceae, and Polygonaceae. Carex, Erigeron, Bromus, Muhlenbergia, and Oenothera Were the most represented genera. Nonnative taxa accounted for seven percent of the total flora. Stachys albens was vouchered as a new state record for Arizona. New county records include Graptopetalum rusbyi (Coconino), Pseudognaphalium pringlei (Coconino), Phaseolus pedicellatus var. grayanus (Coconino), and Quercus rugosa (Coconino and Yavapai). This study quantified and contrasted native species diversity in canyon versus non- canyon floras across the Southwest. Analyses based on eighteen floras indicate that those centered about a major canyon feature shoW greater diversity than non-canyon floras. Regression models revealed that presence of a canyon Was a better predictor of similarity between floras than was the distance betWeen them. This study documents the remarkable diversity found Within canyon systems and the critical, yet varied, habitat they provide in the southwestern U.S.

  • Vegetation Community Responses to Juniper Slash/Burn and Broadcast Burn
    Vegetation Community Responses to Juniper Slash/Burn and Broadcast Burn on A Semi-Desert Tobosa Grassland by Kimberly Sue Cole-Snow A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree Master of Science Approved November 2015 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Eddie Alford, Chair William Miller Douglas Green ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2015 ABSTRACT Modern management techniques to maintain rangelands and deter encroachment of juniper into grassland habitats currently includes fire prescription. Additionally, a large body of research has indicated that fire has multiple benefits to grasslands resulting in increased diversity of flora and fauna. In the semi-arid grassland of the Agua Fria National Monument, fire treatments may be able to provide similar advantages. This study considers two methods of fire prescription on the Agua Fria National Monument within central Arizona: 1) Juniper thinning with pile burning; 2) Broadcast burning. The Agua Fria National Monument upland ecosystem has limited research focusing on semi-arid grassland and juniper stand’s response to implemented treatments over time. The four year monitoring duration of this study aids in assessing the outcome of treatments and reaching the objectives of the management plan. Vegetation in 981 quadrats was measured for species richness, cover, densities, height, and biomass during the fire prescription period from 2009 through 2013. The study was divided into two treatment types: 1) Juniper cutting and pile burn; 2) Broadcast burn areas in open grasslands. Results of this study provide consistent examples of vegetative change and community movement towards positive response. Percent composition of overall vegetation is 5 – 30% with >50% of litter, bare ground and rock cover.
