WF-6. Within WHAs, the route designation process will determine route closures and/or limitation to meet habitat objectives. Page 112: The BLM will designate a Travel Management Network (TMN) for the planning area within 5 years of adoption of this Approved RMP through the TMP. The TMP will evaluate and designate all individual routes/trails for use within the planning area unless specified elsewhere in this Approved RMP. The BLM will follow the process as listed in Appendix B, Administrative Actions and Standard Operating Procedures, of this Approved RMP, when creating the TMN, including evaluating routes using the criteria listed in the Route Evaluation Tree in Appendix L (in the RMP). TM-1. Designations will be made and management implemented for a balance of opportunities for the entire range of motorized and non-motorized access needs, while in balance with other resource values found on public lands. TM-2. Reasonable, safe, and environmentally sound access will be provided to visitors, local residents, licensed or permitted activities, and property owners. Lake Havasu Field Office will be linked with other state, regional, and land management agencies or interest groups to better facilitate travel management. TM-3. Travel between communities within the planning area will be made safer. TM-4. Public access easements will be acquired across private or state lands where public access to federal lands and waterways is not available.

  • Ambient Groundwater Quality of the Sacramento Valley Basin: an ADEQ 1999 Baseline Study
    Ambient Groundwater Quality of the Sacramento Valley Basin: An ADEQ 1999 Baseline Study Chloride I, Introduction The Sacramento Valley Groundwater Basin (SVGB). located in northwestern Arizona (Figure 1), is an arid region with striking natural landscapes and a small, but rapidly growing population. The popularity of the area is influenced by its proximity to tourist destinations Sacramento Valley such as the Colorado River and Groun(Jwater Laughlin, Nevada, and by an abundance Basin of relatively inexpensive, undeveloped private land. Groundwater is the primary water source for municipal, domestic, industrial, mining, livestock, and irrigation in the basin. Population growth and the associated economic development in the SVGB will likely increase demand on groundwater and, over time, may influence water quality. These groundwater quality concerns prompted the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) to conduct a regional groundwater quality study in 1999 to determine groundwater suitability for drinking purposes, appraise current baseline conditions, and examine spatial groundwater quality patterns. This factsheet is a summary of the more extensive hydrology report available from ADEQ (1). ^ 8 8 16 Miles Figure 1. Infrared satellite image (6/1993) of the Sacramento Valley groundwater basin (SVGB). Mountain forests appear crimson, upland areas are dark blue, and valley areas are beige/white. Inset map shows the location of the SVGB within Arizona. Inset photo shows a mural on an abandoned Route 66 gas station located in Yucca that reflects the intense desert conditions found in the basin. II. Background elevation, averaging 4 inches annually in the valley, 10 inches near the city of The SVGB encompasses more than Kingman, and more than 20 inches at 1,500 square miles in Mohave County, Hualapai Peak (2).

The general location for the various alternative corridors is along I-40 between the Shinarump Drive traffic interchange (TI) and Stockton Hill Road TI (approximate MP 44 to MP 52) and along US 93 between the State Route (SR) 68 TI, near the Kingman Port of Entry, and the existing Beale Street interchange, where US 93 connects with I-40 (approximate MP 67 to MP 71). US 93 is part of the CANAMEX Corridor. The Beale Street interchange between I-40 and US 93 is the third of three “bottleneck” locations along US 93 identified from the previous CANAMEX Corridor study. The first location is Hoover Dam and that area is being addressed with the Hoover Dam Bypass construction. The second location is Wickenburg and that area is being addressed with an interim bypass that began construction in February 2008.
