  • A Conceptual Hydrogeologic Model for Fossil Springs, Western
    A CONCEPTUAL HYDROGEOLOGIC MODEL FOR FOSSIL SPRINGS, WESTERN MOGOLLON RIM, ARIZONA: IMPLICATIONS FOR REGIONAL SPRINGS PROCESSES By L. Megan Green A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Geology Northern Arizona University May 2008 Approved: _________________________________ Abraham E. Springer, Ph.D., Chair _________________________________ Roderic A. Parnell, Jr., Ph.D. _________________________________ Paul J. Umhoefer, Ph.D. ABSTRACT A CONCEPTUAL HYDROGEOLOGIC MODEL FOR FOSSIL SPRINGS, WEST MOGOLLON MESA, ARIZONA: IMPLICATIONS FOR REGIONAL SPRINGS PROCESSES L. Megan Green Fossil Springs is the largest spring system discharging along the western Mogollon Rim in central Arizona and is a rare and important resource to the region. The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of the source of groundwater discharging at Fossil Springs. This was accomplished by (1) constructing a 3-D digital hydrogeologic framework model from available data to depict the subsurface geology of the western Mogollon Rim region and (2) by compiling and interpreting regional structural and geophysical data for Arizona’s central Transition Zone. EarthVision, a 3-D GIS modeling software, was used to construct the framework model. Two end-member models were created; the first was a simple interpolation of the data and the second was a result of geologic interpretations. The second model shows a monocline trending along the Diamond Rim fault. Both models show Fossil Springs discharging at the intersection of the Diamond Rim fault and Fossil Springs fault, at the contact between the Redwall Limestone and Naco Formation. The second objective of this study was a compilation of regional data for Arizona’s central Transition Zone.

Forest Botanist Coconino NF Botany Specialist Report Coconino NF 12/9/2013 5:05 PM The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination against its customers, employees, and applicants for employment on the bases of race, color, national origin, age, disability, sex, gender identity, religion, reprisal, and where applicable, political beliefs, marital status, familial or parental status, sexual orientation, or all or part of an individual's income is derived from any public assistance program, or protected genetic information in employment or in any program or activity conducted or funded by the Department. (Not all prohibited bases will apply to all programs and/or employment activities. i Botany Specialist Report Coconino NF 12/9/2013 5:05 PM Preface The information in this specialist report reflects analysis that was completed prior to and in conjunction with the completion of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the revision of the 1987 Coconino National Forest Land Management Plan (the Plan). The primary purpose of specialist reports associated with the DEIS is to provide detailed information to assist in the preparation of the DEIS. As the DEIS was prepared, review-driven edits to the broader DEIS resulted in modifications to some of the information contained in some of the specialist reports. As a result, some reports no longer contain information and analysis that was updated through an interdisciplinary review process and is included in the DEIS in its entirety.

  • Eagle Creek, Arizona
    Trip Report: Eagle Creek, Arizona 15-17 June 2009 Participants: Abraham Karam, Brian Kesner, and Mike Childs Native Fish Lab Marsh & Associates, LLC 5016 South Ash Avenue Suite 108 Tempe, Arizona 85282 Summary Fish surveys were conducted on portions of Eagle Creek, Greenlee County, Arizona, during 15-17 June 2009 to determine species composition, distribution, and relative abundance. Survey methods included backpack electroshocking, seining, dip netting, gill netting, and hook and line. A total of 1,315 individuals were contacted, representing five native and eight non-native species. With the exception of one desert sucker which was captured downstream of the Freeport-McMoRan water diversion dam, non-native fishes were contacted exclusively at all downstream sites, while native species predominated sites upstream of the dam. Methods Surveys were conducted at eight localities on Eagle Creek between Honeymoon (HM; elev. = 1,650 m) in the upper portion of the watershed, and Bat Cave (elev. = 1,036 m), approximately 12 km upstream from Eagle Creek’s confluence with the Gila River (Fig. 1). Survey locations included HM (12S 641111, 3704989), 1st Crossing below HM (12S 640444, 3701320), 2nd Crossing below HM (12S 640636, 3697789), Sheep Wash (12S 640707, 3686663), Above Freeport McMoRan (FM) Dam (12S 643380, 3661181), Below FM Dam (12S 645252, 3659588), Graves (12S 646449, 3656592), and Bat Cave (12S 647611, 3655046). Surveys were conducted using a Smith-Root backpack shocker (SR 12-B), seines (1.2 x 1.2 and 3.7 x 1.2 m; 3 mm mesh), dip nets, experimental gill nets (38.1 x 1.8 m; square mesh size ranged from 13 to 51 mm), and hook and line.
