    AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT – CALIENTE RAIL ALIGNMENT Figure 3-72. Groundwater usage in Nevada in 2000. (Source: DIRS 175964-Lopes and Evetts 2004, p. 7.) There are a number of published estimates of perennial yield for many of the hydrographic areas in Nevada, and those estimates often differ by large amounts. The perennial-yield values listed in Table 3-35 predominantly come from a single source, the Nevada Division of Water Planning (DIRS 103406-Nevada Division of Water Planning 1992, for Hydrographic Regions 10, 13, and 14); therefore, the table does not show a range of values for each hydrographic area. In the Yucca Mountain area, the Nevada Division of Water Planning identifies a combined perennial yield for hydrographic areas 225 through 230. DOE obtained perennial yields from Data Assessment & Water Rights/Resource Analysis of: Hydrographic Region #14 Death Valley Basin (DIRS 147766-Thiel 1999, pp. 6 to 12) to provide estimates for hydrographic areas the Caliente rail alignment would cross: 227A, 228, and 229. That 1999 document presents perennial-yield estimates from several sources. Table 3-35 lists the lowest (that is, the most conservative) values cited in that document, which is consistent with the approach DOE used in the Yucca Mountain FEIS (DIRS 155970-DOE 2002, p. 3-136). DOE/EIS-0369 3-173 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT – CALIENTE RAIL ALIGNMENT Table 3-35 also summarizes existing annual committed groundwater resources for each hydrographic area along the Caliente rail alignment. However, all committed groundwater resources within a hydrographic area might not be in use at the same time. Table 3-35 also includes information on pending annual duties within each of these hydrographic areas.

    2019 Community Profi le From the Regional Vice President Welcome to The Valley Health System, an integrated system of care comprised of seven hospitals, physician practices and a variety of outpatient services. We are proud to be the provider of choice for our friends and neighbors in Southern Nevada. Our hospitals have served the community for more than 40 years and our goal is to always make our hospitals your number-one choice. Whether it’s helping deliver a new addition to your family, performing a life-saving procedure or providing ongoing care throughout your recovery, we appreciate the opportunity to serve you. We are continually growing to meet the needs of the residents we are privileged to serve. In 2018, we celebrated these notable milestones: the second anniversary of Henderson Hospital, the 10-year anniversary of Centennial Hills Hospital and the 15-year anniversary of Spring Valley Hospital. We also opened our fi rst freestanding emergency center, The ER at Green Valley Ranch, which is an extension of Henderson Hospital’s emergency department. We also broke ground on Spring Valley Hospital’s freestanding emergency center, the ER at Blue Diamond, which opens July 2019. Our hospitals are training the next generation of healthcare providers through our Graduate Medical Education program. Recently, The Valley Health System was approved for a General Surgery Residency program by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. Along with a focus on primary care physicians, we’re adding residencies for various specialties to meet our community’s needs. Our hospitals also serve as clinical rotation sites for nursing students, and our employees serve as mentors and role models to these future healthcare professionals.
