Preface iii Preface The study described in this report was conducted as part of the Biomonitoring of Environmen­ tal Status and Trends (BEST) program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). BEST evolved from two earlier Federal monitoring programs: the National Pesticide Monitoring Program (NPMP) of the 1960s and the National Contaminant Biomonitoring Program (NCBP) of the 1970s and 1980s (Schmitt and Bunck, 1995). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) participated in the NPMP and maintained the NCBP by monitoring concentrations of persis­ tent contaminants in freshwater fish and avian wildlife through 1986. BEST was initiated in the 1990s to build on information produced by these earlier programs and to provide more biologically relevant information regarding potential contaminant effects on lands and species under FWS management. The program was transferred to the National Biological Survey in 1993, and ultimately to USGS in 1996; its primary goal is to measure and assess contaminants and their effects on selected U.S. species and habitats. One component of BEST continues to monitor contaminants and their effects on fish in large rivers. The 1997 Rio Grande Basin (RGB) study, which was implemented together with a companion investigation of the Colum­ bia River Basin, was part of this effort. The 1997 investigations represented continuations of a pilot study conducted in the Mississippi River Basin during 1995 (Schmitt, 2002a). Together with ongoing investigations in other basins, these studies comprise an expanded continuation of the NPMP/NCBP freshwater fish monitoring networks; four NCBP stations in the RGB were sampled as part of the 1997 study. Acknowledgements This study was conducted jointly by USGS, through the Columbia Environmental Research Center (CERC) in Columbia, Missouri and the National Fish Health Laboratory of the Leetown Science Center (LSC) in Kearneysville, West Virginia; USFWS, through its Ecological Ser­ vices Field Offices in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Corpus Christi, Texas; and by cooperat­ ing scientists at the University of Florida, Gainesville (UF). Many individuals representing USGS, USFWS, UF, and other organizations contributed substantially during the conduct of the investigation. C. Bunck (USGS) managed the BEST program and S. Finger coordinated most of the work at CERC. M. Wilson (USFWS-Albuquerque) and C. Lee (USFWS-Corpus Christi) supervised field portions of the study. Chemical analyses were conducted at labora­ tories operated by Mississippi State University and the Research Triangle Institute through contracts managed by the Patuxent Analytical Control Facility (PACF) of the USFWS; J. Moore and P. McDonald of PACF facilitated this part of the study. Laboratory analyses for biomarkers were conducted by D. Nicks and S. Birke (CERC); D. Bowling, K. Spring, and E. Frankenberry (LSC); and M. Chow and K. Kroll (UF). A. Donahue (CERC), J. Smith (USFWS, Albuquerque), D. Buckmeier (Texas Parks and Wildlife, Ingram, Texas) and E. Buckner (Missouri Department of Conservation, Columbia, Missouri) aged the fish. The study was partly funded through a Research Work Order with the USGS-Florida Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit at UF; F. Percival, Unit Leader, and T. Gross of the USGS Florida- Integrated Science Center facilitated this agreement. A. Donahue also managed the data and prepared report graphics. P. Anderson assisted with the preparation of the maps and obtained data and information from extant sources. N. Bauch and C.

  • Jason Newsted, Art and Loud
    Jason Newsted: Art Out Loud By Juan Sagarbarria ! JUPITER, FL October 30, 2017 An energetic and highly amplified electronic rock music having a hard beat, that is how Merriam-Webster defines heavy metal. If there was a viable channel in which to personify this description, then Jason Newsted would surely be one of its embodiments. A six-time Grammy winner, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame artist, Newsted—also known as “Jasonic”—is the former bassist of the band that arguably bred the metal genre—Metallica. From 1986 to 2001, Newsted forged his name in the annals of rock history with his beefy, fast-paced, and at times, nostalgic bass lines, as Metallica took the world by storm. Eternal staples like “Enter Sandman,” “The Unforgiven,” “Nothing Else Matters,” “One,” and “Fuel,” are but a brief sampling of the songs that were hatched during Newsted’s tenure. By singing lead on a few songs during the band’s live performances and astounding countless audiences with his remarkable bass solos, Newsted stamped his musical footprint. He even took over lead vocals for a whole show at the Kentucky Speedway during the 1999 Summer Sanitarium Tour, while frontman James Hetfield recovered from injury—and fiercely delivered. “I got to join my favorite band,” Newsted remarks. “I got real, real f***** lucky and got to travel around the world five times. Just imagine being in a dreamlike state for 15 years—that is the only way I could sum up what the experience entailed. Suffice it to say, I had too much fun.” Upon meeting Newsted, my impression of him was that, although he did not have his characteristic long hair that flailed aggressively during his early days with Metallica, he is still as spirited as ever; a character’s character.

Carter Specialist in Natural Mexico Resources Policy The United States and Mexico share the waters of the Colorado River and the Rio Grande. A bilateral water treaty from 1944 (the 1944 Water Treaty) and other binational agreements guide Stephen P. Mulligan how the two governments share the flows of these rivers. The binational International Boundary Legislative Attorney and Water Commission (IBWC) administers these agreements. Since 1944, the IBWC has been the principal venue for addressing river-related disputes between the United States and Mexico. The 1944 Water Treaty authorizes the IBWC to develop rules and to issue proposed decisions, Charles V. Stern called minutes, regarding matters related to the treaty’s execution and interpretation. Specialist in Natural Resources Policy Water Delivery Requirements Established in Binational Agreements. The United States’ and Mexico’s water-delivery obligations derive from multiple treaty sources and vary depending on the body of water. Under the 1944 Water Treaty, the United States is required to provide Mexico with 1.5 million acre-feet (AF) of Colorado River water annually. The 1944 Water Treaty also addresses the nations’ respective rights to waters of the Rio Grande downstream of Fort Quitman, TX. It requires Mexico to deliver to the United States an annual minimum of 350,000 AF of water, measured in five-year cycles (i.e., 1.75 million AF over five years).

    Written Testimony Submitted to the United States Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on S. 1012 New Mexico Drought Preparedness Act of 2017 Respectfully Submitted By Mike A. Hamman, PE Chief Executive Officer Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District Rio Grande Water Development in New Mexico The Upper Rio Grande originates in the San Juan and Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges in southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. It bisects the San Luis Valley in Colorado and the entire state of New Mexico with this reach culminating at Fort Quitman, Texas. This portion of the Rio Grande is administered under the Rio Grande Compact by a federal appointee and three Commissioners from Colorado, New Mexico and Texas with support from the United States Geological Survey, the Bureau of Reclamation, and the Army Corps of Engineers. The annual mean flow as measured at the Otowi gage in New Mexico is 1 million acre-feet with wide variation, ranging from 250,000 to 2.5 million acre-feet. Irrigated agriculture consists of approximately 600,000 acres in Colorado, 200,000 acres in New Mexico, 100,000 acres in Texas. Additionally, up to 60,000 acre-feet is delivered to lands within the Republic of Mexico via the Rio Grande Project under the 1906 Convention between the United States and Mexico. The predominate crop due to climate, water supplies and labor considerations is alfalfa. Other crops include potatoes, chilé, corn, fruit, onions and pecans. There is an improving ‘farm to table’ market serving a demand for locally produced agricultural products ranging from lettuces to melons as well as organically grown products particularly near and in municipalities.
