Welty, Richard A. Trapp, and Stephen J. Reynolds Arizona Bureau of Geology and Mineral Technology Geological Survey Branch Circular 26 1986 CORRAO 1986 ARIZONA BUREAU OF GEOLOGY AND MINERAL TECHNOLOGY TheArizona Bureau of Geology and Mineral Technology was established in 1977by an act of the State legislature. Under thisact, the Arizona Bureau of Mines, created in 1915,was renamed and reorganized and its mission was redefined and expanded. The Bureau of Geology and Mineral Technology, a division of the Universityof Arizona administered by the Arizona Board of Regents, is charged by the legislature to conduct research and provide information about the geologic setting of the State, including its mineral and energy resources, itsnatural attributes, and itsnatural hazards and limitations. In order to carry out these functions, the Bureau is organized into two branches. Geological Survey BranCh. Staff members conduct research, do geologic map- ping, collect data, and provide information about the geologic setting of the State to (a) assistin developing an understanding of the geologic factors that influence the locations of metallic, nonmetallic, and mineral fuel resources in Arizona, and (b) assistin developing an understanding of the geologic materials and processes that control or limit human activities in the State. Minerai Technology Branch. Staff members conduct research and provide infor- mation about exploration, mining, and metallurgical processes that are needed in the development of potential metallic, nonmetallic, and mineral fuel resources in Arizona. Guidance is directed toward the recovery and treatment of these resources by methods that are safe, efficient, and compatible with the environmental needs of the State.

Geological Survey Arizona Bureau of Geology and Mineral Technology Geological Survey Branch TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction •••••••••• iv Pima County ••••••• I Santa Cruz County • ••• 35 LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS Figure Page I Mineral districts in Pima County ••• vi 2 Mineral districts in Santa Cruz County 34 iii INTRODUCTION This bibliography provides references for each known metallic mineral district in Pima and Santa Cruz Counties in Arizona. In a mineral-district classification, known metallic mineral occurrences are grouped according to geologic and metallogenic criteria rather than the geographic associations used in the traditional mining-district approach (Keith aOOothers, 1983a,b). Ideally, a mineral district should consist of mineral occurrences that have a commongenesis. Amineral-district classification is especially useful for understanding the geologic setting of mineralization and the distribution of knownmineral occurrences with similar geology. A mineral-district map, how- ever, is by no means a statement of mineral potential because future mineral disCoveries within and outside established districts will affect district boundaries. Although understanding the distribution of knownmineral deposits is essential in evaluating mineral potential, many other geologic aOOtech- nologic factors must also be considered (Fellows, 1984). This circular is the third in a series of county-by-county bibliographies for metallic mineral districts in Arizona. This and other circulars are based upon the work of Keith and others (1983c), but provide a more usable format aOOmore comprehensive reference lists than the latter publication. Nearly 1,100 citations are listed in this circular. For each county, a list of general county references precedes the specific references for the mineral districts. These general citations furnish information that applies to the entire county or pertains to a significant number of mineral districts within that county. The user of this bibliography is reminded to examine care- fully the general county reference list whensearching for information regard- ing a specific mineral district. Mineral districts are listed alphabeticallYi those with no reported production are included as well (Keith and others, 1983bi welty aOOothers, 1985). Citations for each mineral. district are clas- sified as either primary or secondary references. Primary references are those that provide geologic descriptions or moderngeologic interpretations, whereas secondary references are most often pre-World War I articles in difficult-to- locate sources. Secondary references also include citations such as Mineralogy of Arizona, the focus of which is not the geology of a specific terrane. References Fellows, 1..

Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.

  • Environmental Assessment
    DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE TARAHUMARA FROG, SYCAMORE AND BIG CASA BLANCA CANYONS, SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, ARIZONA Prepared By: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2321 West Royal Palm Road, Suite 103 Phoenix, Arizona 85021 Date Prepared: September 1, 2003 Section I: PURPOSE AND NEED FOR ACTION A. Purpose of the Proposed Action: The purpose of the proposed action is to conserve the Tarahumara frog (Rana tarahumarae). Conservation would reduce threats to the species and minimize the likelihood that it would need protection under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531-1544), as amended (ESA). Our ability to effectively conserve and manage this species is limited because it has been extirpated from Arizona and the United States since 1983. This action would be undertaken cooperatively by the Arizona Ecological Services Office of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (AESO) and the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AGFD), in coordination with the Tarahumara Frog Conservation Team (TFCT). The TFCT, which was first convened in 1991, consists of representatives from AGFD, AESO, Coronado National Forest, Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, U.S. Geological Survey - Biological Resources Division, Instituto del Medio Ambiente y el Desarrollo Sustentable del Estado de Sonora (IMADES), University of Arizona, and other interested parties. Both the AGFD and AESO have an interest in re-establishing species extirpated from Arizona. B. Need for Taking the Proposed Action: Conservation through re-establishment of the Tarahumara frog in Arizona is consistent with the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s Wildlife 2006 Nongame and Endangered Wildlife subprogram narrative, a goal of which is restoration of native biological diversity and recovery of imperiled species.

  • Coronado National Forest
    CORONADO NATIONAL FOREST FIRE MANAGEMENT PLAN Reviewed and Updated by _/s/ Chris Stetson ___________ Date __5/18/10 __________ Coronado Fire Management Plan Interagency Federal fire policy requires that every area with burnable vegetation must have a Fire Management Plan (FMP). This FMP provides information concerning the fire process for the Coronado National Forest and compiles guidance from existing sources such as but not limited to, the Coronado National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP), national policy, and national and regional directives. The potential consequences to firefighter and public safety and welfare, natural and cultural resources, and values to be protected help determine the management response to wildfire. Firefighter and public safety are the first consideration and are always the priority during every response to wildfire. The following chapters discuss broad forest and specific Fire Management Unit (FMU) characteristics and guidance. Chapter 1 introduces the area covered by the FMP, includes a map of the Coronado National Forest, addresses the agencies involved, and states why the forest is developing the FMP. Chapter 2 establishes the link between higher-level planning documents, legislation, and policies and the actions described in FMP. Chapter 3 articulates specific goals, objectives, standards, guidelines, and/or desired future condition(s), as established in the forest’s LRMP, which apply to all the forest’s FMUs and those that are unique to the forest’s individual FMUs. Page 1 of 30 Coronado Fire Management Plan Chapter 1. INTRODUCTION The Coronado National Forest developed this FMP as a decision support tool to help fire personnel and decision makers determine the response to an unplanned ignition.
