  • Across the Western Landscape: Priority Issues and Strategies for Western Forests
    Across the Western Landscape: Priority Issues and Strategies for Western Forests EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The forests of the West contain an incredible assemblage of resources. They cover approximately 365 million acres, 49 percent of the nation’s total forested area, and are managed by a diverse set of owners. Threats facing western forests affect all lands and all people, compromising the basic assets we need and often take for granted such as: clean air, abundant water, safe communities, open spaces, and economic opportunities. Cooperation and coordination across jurisdictional boundaries are needed to address these threats. The Western Forestry Leadership Coalition (WFLC) represents a unique partnership between state and federal government forestry leaders and supports a collaborative approach to sustainable forest management. All U.S. states and Affiliated Islands have completed assessments of their forest resources and developed strategies for the conservation, protection, About the Western Forestry and enhancement of those resources. These Statewide Forest Resource Leadership Coalition Assessments and Strategies (Forest Action Plans) provide a long-term roadmap The Western Forestry Leadership for forest restoration and management. Across the Western Landscape: Priority Coalition (WFLC) is a State and Issues and Strategies for Western Forests is a 23-page publication providing the Federal government partnership. highlights from a synthesis of the western states’ and Pacific Islands’ Forest The members of the coalition Action Plans.

  • EPA Progress Report 2002: Pacific Southwest Region
    EPA Progress Report 2002 Pacific Southwest Region U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Pacific Southwest / Region 9 EPA–909–R–02–001 Dear Readers, Growing up in Southern California, I learned early in life about the human cost of an unhealthy environment. The brown cloud that covered the Los Angeles Basin for too many days each summer affected everyone who worked and played there. But over the years I’ve also watched the skies grow clearer and smog alerts become a thing of the past. In 2001, the Los Angeles area met national health standards nine out of every ten days — the cleanest year since smog measurements began over 40 years ago. While there is much more work to be done, we’ve come a long way. I am honored to introduce this EPA Progress Report, the first that we have issued since I joined EPA as Regional Administrator in October 2001. The past year’s accomplishments are full of promise for meeting the public health and environmental chal­ lenges we face in the Pacific Southwest, and I am eager to to continue our progress in this important mission. EPA’s Pacific Southwest Region is truly diverse, encompassing the states of Arizona, California, Hawaii and Nevada; 147 tribal nations and communities; and Pacific islands such as American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. The problems we confront here are complex, interconnected, and resistant to traditional solutions. As we move to meet these challenges, we are fortunate both in our own strengths and in the capacity and will of our partners — the states, tribes, industry and the environmental advocacy communities.

  • Clear-Water Tributaries of the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon, Arizona: Stream Ecology and the Potential Impacts of Managed Flow by René E
    Clear-water tributaries of the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon, Arizona: stream ecology and the potential impacts of managed flow by René E. Henery ABSTRACT Heightened attention to the sediment budget for the Colorado River systerm in Grand Canyon Arizona, and the importance of the turbid tributaries for delivering sediment has resulted in the clear-water tributaries being overlooked by scientists and managers alike. Existing research suggests that clear-water tributaries are remnant ecosystems, offering unique biotic communities and natural flow patterns. These highly productive environments provide important spawning, rearing and foraging habitat for native fishes. Additionally, clear water tributaries provide both fish and birds with refuge from high flows and turbid conditions in the Colorado River. Current flow management in the Grand Canyon including beach building managed floods and daily flow oscillations targeting the trout population and invasive vegetation has created intense disturbance in the Colorado mainstem. This unprecedented level of disturbance in the mainstem has the potential to disrupt tributary ecology and increase pressures on native fishes. Among the most likely and potentially devastating of these pressures is the colonization of tributaries by predatory non-native species. Through focused conservation and management tributaries could play an important role in the protection of the Grand Canyon’s native fishes. INTRODUCTION More than 490 ephemeral and 40 perennial tributaries join the Colorado River in the 425 km stretch between Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Mead. Of the perennial tributaries in the Grand Canyon, only a small number including the Paria River, the Little Colorado River and Kanab Creek drain large watersheds and deliver large quantities of sediment to the Colorado River mainstem (Oberlin et al.

Agricultural Communications Based on two years of testing, UA School of Renewable Natural Resources researchers have made recommendations for safer use of river water by boaters. Boaters should treat water from the river and its trib- utaries before drinking it. Drinking straight from the river has been common in past seasons. Boaters also should avoid stirring up bottom sediments. The sediments contain much more bacterial contamination than does the surface water. Stirring up sediments, especially in side- stream pools, can raise the fecal bacteria count in water above the stan- dard maximum for body- contact water use.

    Chapter 17 Unique Challenges Facing Southwestern Tribes COORDINATING LEAD AUTHOR Margaret Hiza Redsteer (U.S. Geological Survey) LEAD AUTHORS Kirk Bemis (Zuni Tribe Water Resources Program), Karletta Chief (University of Arizona), Mahesh Gautam (Desert Research Institute), Beth Rose Middleton (University of California, Davis), Rebecca Tsosie (Arizona State University) REVIEW EDITOR Daniel B. Ferguson (University of Arizona) Executive Summary When considering climate change, risks to Native American lands, people, and cultures are noteworthy. Impacts on Native lands and communities are anticipated to be both early and severe due to their location in marginal environments. Because Native Ameri- can societies are socially, culturally, and politically unique, conventional climate change adaptation planning and related policies could result in unintended consequences or conflicts with Native American governments, or could prove to be inadequate if tribal consultation is not considered. Therefore, it is important to understand the distinct his- torical, legal, and economic contexts of the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of South- western Native American communities. The key messages presented in this chapter are: • Vulnerability of Southwestern tribes is higher than that for most groups because it is closely linked to endangered cultural practices, history, water rights, and Chapter citation: Redsteer, M.
