  • Chapter 4: the Hydrologic System of the Middle Rio Grande Basin
    Chapter 4: The hydrologic system of the Middle Rio Grande Basin In discussions of the water resources of an area, the hydrologic system is commonly split into two components for convenience: surface water and ground water. However, in the Middle Rio Grande Basin, as in most other locales, the surface- and ground-water systems are intimately linked through a series of complex interactions. These interactions often make it difficult to recognize the boundary between the two systems. In The Rio Grande is the only river I ever this report, the surface- and ground-water systems are described separately, saw that needed irrigation. –attributed to though one of the goals of the report is to show that they are both parts of Will Rogers the hydrologic system of the Middle Rio Grande Basin and that changes in one often affect the other. As defined earlier, in this report “Middle Rio Grande Basin” refers to the geologic basin defined by the extent of deposits of Cenozoic age along the Rio Grande from about Cochiti Dam to about San Acacia. This definition includes nearly the entire ground-water basin; however, the extent of the surface-water basin is delimited topographically by drainage divides and is consequently somewhat larger than the ground-water basin. Surface-water system The most prominent hydrologic feature in the Middle Rio Grande Basin is the Rio Grande, which flows through the entire length of the basin, generally from north to south. The fifth longest river in the United States, its headwaters are in the mountains of southern Colorado. The Rio Grande is the largest river in New Mexico, with a drainage area of 14,900 square miles where it enters the Middle Rio Grande Basin.

Garcia, Forest Supervisor Santa Fe National Forest 11 Forest Lane Santa Fe, New Mexico 87508 Dear Ms. Garcia: Thank you for your request for formal consultation and conferencing with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) pursuant to section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. § 1531 et seq.), as amended (Act). We began early coordination with you and received a Biological Assessment (BA) (dated June 6, 2014) and supplemental information, which evaluate the impacts of the Southwest Jemez Mountains Restoration Project Santa Fe National Forest Jemez Ranger District Sandoval County, New Mexico (Restoration Project). At issue are potential impacts from the proposed action on the Mexican spotted owl (Strix occidentalis lucida) (MSO) and its critical habitat, the Jemez Mountains salamander (Plethodon neomexicanus) (salamander) and its critical habitat, the New Mexico meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius luteus) and its proposed critical habitat, and the Rio Grande Cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki virginalis) (cutthroat trout). You determined that the proposed action “may affect, is likely to adversely affect” the MSO and its designated critical habitat, the salamander and its designated critical habitat, the jumping mouse and its proposed critical habitat. This biological opinion does not rely on the regulatory definition of “destruction or adverse modification” of critical habitat at 50 CFR 402.02. Instead, we have relied upon the statute and the August 6, 2004, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision in Gifford Pinchot Task Force v.
