The headwaters are located in the La Panza range with the highest point at approximately 3600-feet. The confluence of San Juan Creek with the Estrella River occurs at Shandon. The dominant land use is agriculture. The San Juan Creek Valley is generally used most intensively for agriculture because of better soils and water availability. Irrigated production has increased during the last 10 years, particularly in vineyards and alfalfa. Dry farming and grazing operations encompass the rest of the agricultural uses. The riparian forest and a portion of the adjacent upland areas associated with the Estrella River and San Juan Creek in the vicinity of Shandon are important wildlife habitat, and serve as important corridors for wildlife movement. San Joaquin kit fox and Western burrowing owl occur in open grasslands. Another important wildlife movement corridor is located near the base of the hillside near the eastern edge of Shandon.

  • Oil, Natural Gas, and Coal Exploration in U.S. Public Lands
    Sara Diercks Oil, Natural Gas, and Coal Exploration in U.S. Public Lands The purpose of this project is to discover where, in U.S. public lands, we find the presence of oil and natural gas and coal fields. After identifying where these fields are located, I have determined what percentage of each public land they cover. To understand current explorations in public lands, I have used web mapping to display locations of already operating oil and natural gas wells and coal mines. Public lands in this project includes U.S. National Parks and Bureau of Land Management National Monuments and National Conservation Areas. Hawaii and outlying territories have not been included in this project due to lack of significant data. The findings in this project allow us to determine which national parks, monuments, and conservation areas are most at risk to drilling or mining based on the percentage of oil and gas fields or coal fields within their boundaries. To complete this project I used geoprocessing and overlay analysis operations. To begin, I used the add geometry attribute tool to calculate the area of each public land in square miles. I also used the clip tool on the oil and gas fields and coal fields so that we only have the data for the fields in the U.S. I then used the intersect tool to find only those areas in which the oil and gas fields and coal fields intersect with a public land. This can lead to multiple entries for the same public land in the attribute table, so to combine these repeat entries, I performed a dissolve operation, preserving the park name, calculated area, and label.

  • National Monuments and the Antiquities Act: President Clinton’S Designations and Related Issues
    Order Code RL30528 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web National Monuments and the Antiquities Act: President Clinton’s Designations and Related Issues Updated June 28, 2001 name redacted Specialist in Natural Resources Policy Resources, Science, and Industry Division name redacted Legislative Attorney American Law Division Congressional Research Service The Library of Congress National Monuments and the Antiquities Act: Recent Designations and Issues Summary President Clinton used the Antiquities Act of 1906 (16 U.S.C. §§431-433) to create 19 new national monuments and enlarge 3 others. All but one of the designations were made during President Clinton’s last year in office. The new monuments range in size from 2 acres to nearly 1.9 million acres. The 22 monuments created or enlarged by President Clinton total about 5.9 million acres, the second largest acreage of any President, and only President Franklin D. Roosevelt used his authority more often (on 28 occasions vs. 22 for President Clinton). The Antiquities Act authorizes the President to create national monuments on federal lands that contain historic landmarks, historic and prehistoric structures, or other objects of historic or scientific interest. The President is to reserve “the smallest area compatible with the proper care and management of the objects to be protected.” The Act was designed to quickly protect federal lands and resources, and Presidents have proclaimed about 120 monuments totaling about more than 70 million acres. Congress has modified many of these, has created monuments itself, and about a dozen times has abolished presidentially created monuments. Presidential establishment of monuments sometimes has been contentious, e.g., President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s creation of the Jackson Hole National Monument in Wyoming (1943) and especially President Carter’s massive Alaskan withdrawals (1978).
