    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR MISCELLANEOUS FIELD STUDIES UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MAP MF-1638-A PAMPHLET MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF THE SAVAGE RUN WILDERNESS, CARBON AND ALBANY COUNTIES, WYOMING By M. E. McCallum, U.S. Geological Survey and Steven £. Kluender, U.S. Bureau of Mines STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS Under the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and related acts, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines have been conducting mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System, and some of them are presently being studied. The act provided that areas under consideration for wilderness designation should be studied for suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. The act directs that the results of such surveys are to be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress. This report discusses the results of a mineral survey of the Savage Run Wilderness in the Medicine Bow National Forest, Carbon and Albany Counties, Wyoming. The area was established as a wilderness by Public Law 95-Z37, February 24, 1978. MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL SUMMARY STATEMENT Although numerous, small gold and copper mining operations were conducted for a number of years around the turn of the century and intermittently thereafter in areas immediately to the east, there is no evidence of any mineral production within the Savage Run Wilderness.

Box 249, Saratoga, WY 82331 Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities Water Facilities Reauthorization Water Resources Report By Carol Purchase, February 28, 2012 Introduction The City of Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities (CBOPU) has had a water collection and storage system on the Medicine Bow NF since 1962. In 1962, the original water collection and storage facilities were authorized for the purpose of operation and maintenance of two reservoirs, 21 miles of pipeline and a 3,300 foot long tunnel (Stage I). The system was expanded in 1964 to add a third reservoir. The entire system was increased in size and extent in the1980’s following the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Stage II Development of the Water Collection Facilities of the CBOPU. A Record of Decision (ROD) was signed for this action on December 8, 1981. The Stage II development was authorized under an easement issued on July 26, 1982. The 30 year easement is expiring and the CBOPU has applied for renewal of the easement. Proposed Action The proposed action is to issue a new authorization to CBOPU for the operation and maintenance of the water collection, transmission and reservoir system owned and operated by CBOPU on NFS lands. The period of the new authorization is proposed to be 30 years.
