DEPARTMENT OF THE INTIIRIOR FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE SYSTEM BEAR RIVER MIGRATORY BIRD REFUGE Brigham City, Utah ANNUAL NARRATIVE REPORT Calendar Year 1990 REVIEW AND APPROVALS REFUGE MANAGER DATE U GE SUPERVISOR REVIEW , ^ DA REGIONAL OFFICE APPROVAL D^TE X INTRODUCTION The Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge is located in Box Elder County, 15 miles west of Brigham City, in northwestern Utah. It was established by a special act of Congress on April 23, 1928. At the time, many individuals and organizations were concerned about the loss of marsh habitat and waterfowl mortality. In 1843, explorer John C. Fremont described the multitudes of waterfowl at the Bear River delta. As settlement of the Salt Lake valley progressed, market hunting of waterfowl flourished. From 1877 to about the turn of the century, 2 00,000 ducks were harvested each year and sold to eastern hotels and restaurants. During the same period, residents were concerned with the devastating losses to avian botulism. In the 1900's, 50 to 70 percent of the waterfowl stopping to rest and feed died of the disease. Millions of dead birds lied scattered in the marshes - a gruesome spectacle. About the same time, large quantities of river water were diverted for farming, and the delta marshes began to dry. By 1920, about 2 to 3 thousand acres of marsh remained of the original 45,000. The Bear River Refuge comprises 65,000 acres of marsh, open water, and mud flats, which are managed for use by migratory birds.

  • Utah Lake Watch Report 2005
    Utah Lake Watch Report 2005 Prepared for Utah Division of Water Quality By Andy Dean, Utah State University Water Quality Extension www.extension.usu.edu/waterquality (435)797-2580 December 12, 2005 For additional copies of this report contact: Nancy Mesner (435)797-2465 [email protected] Introduction The Utah Lake Watch (ULW) program recruits volunteers to take Secchi depth measurements in lakes and reservoirs throughout Utah. This ULW annual report summarizes the results of Secchi depth measurements taken by volunteers throughout the summer of 2005. The data collected through the ULW are submitted to the Utah Division of Water Quality to supplement the data they take through their lakes program. The data can be used by scientists, lake managers, and numerous other organizations to analyze the clarity of and overall health of the lakes. Volunteers are trained individually to use a Secchi disk. The Secchi disk is lowered into the water body and the depth at which it disappears is the Secchi depth. Volunteers are also given information about site location (the DEQ station description or GPS coordinates). The monitoring site is typically the deepest part of the lake or nearest the dam on a reservoir. Standardized data sheets are given to each volunteer, which are returned to the USU Water Quality Extension office (Appendix 1) at the end of the summer season so these data can be recorded and summarized. Results During 2005, Secchi depths were recorded by 16 volunteers on 20 different lakes and reservoirs throughout Utah (23 sites total due to multiple sites in several reservoirs).

USM Tungsten S&G allotment occurs in portions of: 1) T4N. R4W. 2) T4N. R5W. 3) T5N. R4W. 4) T5N. R5W. USM Decision to be Implemented Description of the Decision. My decision is to authorize continued livestock grazing within the Wilderness Grazing Management Project area consistent with existing management in order to continue to meet or move toward desired resource conditions. Grazing allotments within the project area include Fall Creek, Painter Basin, and Tungsten, which total approximately 47,517 acres. Refer to the attachments that display the allotments within the project area. My decision incorporates the following elements of the Ashley National Forest’s adaptive management strategy, which are consistent with existing livestock grazing management and comply with current direction in the Forest Plan and other applicable laws, regulations, and higher level decisions. The benchmarks identified below will form a basis for monitoring - to compare the allotment conditions with the specified benchmark. • Total ground cover equal to or greater than 85% of potential for all plant communities grazed by livestock. • Plant communities dominated by native species of moderate to high value for watershed protection (or erosion control).

  • Northern Utah Interagency Fire Center
    NORTHERN UTAH INTERAGENCY FIRE CENTER INITIAL ATTACK RUN CARDS 2020 Version: March 23, 2020 Northern Utah Interagency Run Cards, 2020 Effective June 1 through October 1. Notifications will occur at any time of year. The Interagency Run Cards are developed by a group of interagency representatives to provide guidance to the Northern Utah Interagency Fire Center (NUIFC) for initial attack dispatching of wildland fire suppression resources within a pre-identified geographic areas (run card zones). The run cards are used when there is a new smoke reported and doesn’t meet the discretionary smoke report criteria. When a NWCG qualified Incident Commander is on scene of the fire, they may adjust the pre- established initial attack response as identified on the run card by cancelling resources currently en-route (or about to be dispatched) or ordering additional resources. Discretionary Smoke Reports: If any of the following smoke reports are received, the appropriate Duty Officer will need to be contacted to determine the response. During periods of large/multiple fire activity, when there are not enough resources to fill the run cards, the Duty Officers from FF&SL, USFS and BLM will be available to NUIFC to assist in initial attack incident prioritization. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Report Abandoned Campfires, when clearly stated that it is still within the ring Duty Officers may only make an adjustment to the Run Card after gathering Situational Awareness/Intelligence from current responding resources. This should be a rare augmentation to the pre-established Run Card response. After Hours Dispatch Procedures: BLM: After resource duty hours, dispatchers will contact the BLM Duty Officer who will determine the level of response for BLM fires.

I have also supplied additional information that will assist the Forest Service in assessing the effectiveness of sage-grouse plans through time. This report is based on current databases and information available at the time of writing. All data are provisional, and some figures may be revised in later years as more complete information is compiled. 2 Background The Greater Sage-Grouse ROD Monitoring Appendix lists major items for monitoring during the implementation of the Amendment: Implementation (Decision) Monitoring. Habitat Monitoring. Measure 1: Sagebrush Availability (percent of sagebrush per unit area) Measure 2: Habitat Degradation (percent of human activity per unit area) Measure 3: Energy and Mining Density (facilities and locations per unit area) Population (Demographics) Monitoring.
