These losses have been attributed to pesticides. Similar losses were not found in the Carson Igtke Pasture colony. These three areas have the largest toowa nesting concen- trations of this species.

Baring February we had our usual break in weather and daytime temperatures were recorded in the 6Q-degree bracket on 13 of the 28 days-^the mercury even shot up to 71 degrees one day, Rights remained cold, however, the whole month. March, and April followed a normal pattern for this area. The wind blew and it seemed that warm weather would never arrive although temperatures were occasionally recorded in the 70'sWbtit never for more than one day. Our last frost was experienced May 12 and daytime temperatures rose into the 80 to 100-degree bracket with 100-degree temperatures recorded in June, July* and August. Hot many 100-degree days occurred this year, but there were only five days in the July-August period when the mercury failed to climb into the upper 90's. September daytime temperatures cooled afi,d our first frost of the year occurred September l4j giving 197° & 139-"day growing season. October ushered in another of fallen's "fabulous falls" and daytime temperatures continued warm throughout November. December, as is to be expected, had colder days with corresponding low nighttime temperatures. The monthly extremes for December, 60 and 9 degrees respectively, occurred only once during the month, A new norms,! precipitation,, based on a 60-year period, has been estab- lished for the Fallen area. This normal increases precipitation from the ty.90 inches we have used since inception of the Stillwater Area to 5.01 inches. The following chart summarizes weather data obtained from the U.S. Weather Bureau Station maintained at the Nevada State Experiment Farm at Fallen. Precipitation Temperatures 1970 Normal Max. Min.

All milts were filled and West Pasture was flooded* Cool and sometimes rainy weather prevailed into July which reduced water consumption is the marsh, Ifost units were maintained near operating level until August and September when hot temperatures increased water losses. At this time inflows to Willow-Millen and Swan Lake were stopped because all units eould not be maintained. With these units out of production, the others were raised to desired levels prior to the hunting season, la iovember water was again sent to Willow-Millen and Swan lake. All units were full at the end of the year. 53ie table on the following page Summarizes water receipts and require- ments by the month for Calendar fear- 1970, Annual net receipts were above minimum refuireme&ts but are not surplus to our meeds* !Ehe table shows deficiencies in the primary marsh all during spring and summer months, but surplus water from January through March actually maintained the marsh at operating levfl through part of July. Even with the large figure of nearly 18,000 aere feet surplus to the marsh, aetual defieien- aies did occur in July and August so that inflow had to be stopped from nearly 2,300 acres of habitat, 1<&ter was then siaffieient to maintain the rest of the "units at desired levels and salinities, and good eondi- tions resulted* Jtefieieacles at Pelican Island are shown only for May ant July* Actually, it was almost without water «H avamex and fall. $he large flows durigg the spring months out deep openings in the check dike so that small summer flows could not be Contained in the marsh. OSie total net receipts for the year show a surplus over 80,000 acre feet. However, 59,71^ aere feet of this iasouat cannot be charged to Stillwater* This amount passed the Lower Carson water recorder and went through the pelieaa Islafid area omto the Carson Simk, where it canmot be used. If tiie Paittte Reservoir in Indian Lakes were built, this lost water could be used to maintain units through the summer* It should be pointed out that significantly more water was received from the Canvasback Sun Club this year and less water was delivered to them, '(This is probably a temporary situation as the Club changed care- takers and the new man has not learned their water management practices yet.

  • Late Holocene Paleohydrology of Walker Lake and the Carson Sink in the Western Great Basin, Nevada, USA
    Quaternary Research Copyright © University of Washington. Published by Cambridge University Press, 2019. doi:10.1017/qua.2018.151 Late Holocene paleohydrology of Walker Lake and the Carson Sink in the western Great Basin, Nevada, USA Kenneth D. Adamsa*, Edward J. Rhodesb aDivision of Earth and Ecosystem Sciences, Desert Research Institute, 2215 Raggio Parkway, Reno, Nevada 89512, USA bDepartment of Geography, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, S10 2TN, United Kingdom *Corresponding author e-mail address: [email protected] (RECEIVED June 8, 2018; ACCEPTED December 6, 2018) Abstract The late Holocene histories of Walker Lake and the Carson Sink were reconstructed by synthesizing existing data in both basins along with new age constraints from key sites, supplemented with paleohydrologic modeling. The repeated diversions of the Walker River to the Carson Sink and then back to Walker Lake caused Walker Lake–level fluctuations spanning ± 50 m. Low lake levels at about 1000, 750, and 300 cal yr BP are time correlative to the ages of fluvial deposits along the Walker River paleochannel, when flow was directed toward the Carson Sink. The timing and duration of large lakes in the Carson Sink were further refined using moisture-sensitive tree-ring chronologies. The largest lakes required a fourfold to fivefold increase in discharge spanning decades. Addition of Walker River flow to the Carson Sink by itself is inadequate to account for the required discharge. Instead, increases in the runoff coefficient and larger areas of the drainage basin contributing surface runoff may explain the enhanced discharge required to create these large lakes.

  • Explanation of Significant Differences Carson River
    SDMS DOCID# 1140552 EXPLANATION OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES CARSON RIVER MERCURY SITE Washoe, Carson City, Storey, Lyon, and Churchill Counties, Nevada NVD980813646 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 9 September 2013 (This page intentionally left blank) Carson River Mercury Site Explanation of Significant Differences Introduction and Statement of Purpose The purpose of this Explanation of Significant Differences (ESD) for the March 30, 1995 Record of Decision (ROD) for Operable Unit 1 (OU1) of the Carson River Mercury Site (CRMS) is to address issues that have arisen as a result of the continuing implementation and management of the remedy selected in the ROD. The issues addressed by this ESD are: • The CRMS boundaries need to be better defined to assure that the remedy protects public health by focusing on areas of concern. • Cleanup levels for two of the three contaminants of concern, lead and arsenic, have changed since the ROD was signed. EPA uses an ESD to document a significant change to the ROD for a Superfund site. A significant change is defined as “a change to a component of a remedy that does not fun- damentally alter the overall cleanup approach.”1 In the case of the CRMS ROD for OU1, the overall cleanup and the goal of the remediation -- to protect public health, specifically children, from exposure to the contaminants of concern in residential settings -- is not being altered. The manner in which the remedy is implemented is being refined and improved. The site definition is being revised to be contamination-based, rather than geographic, and the cleanup levels for two of the contaminants of concern, arsenic and lead, are being updated to better protect public health.
