    Crook County Hazard Mitigation Plan for Inclusion in the 2018 Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan

    REGION 1 HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN CROOK COUNTY ANNEX 1 Mitigation Planning and Crook County Planning Team This annex has been created during the development of the 2018 Region 1 Hazard Mitigation Plan (referred to as the Main Plan or Base Plan herein). This County Annex builds upon previous versions of the Crook County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan completed in 2013. The plan is the result of a collaborative effort between Crook County Government, municipal governments, citizens, public agencies, non-profit organizations and the private sector. The Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) held responsibility for implementation and maintenance of the plan. Crook County Emergency Management was responsible for updating the plan in coordination with a multi- jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) which was formed for the creation of the 2017-8 Regional Plan. The following jurisdictions participated in the planning process: • Crook County • Town of Hulett • City of Moorcroft • Town of Pine Haven • City of Sundance More details on the planning process followed and how the counties, municipalities and stakeholders participated can be referenced in Chapter 3 of the base plan, as well as how the public was involved during the 2018 update. 2 Geography and Climate The county of Crook covers about 2,854 square miles of land in the northeast corner of Wyoming, sharing a border with the States of South Dakota and Montana. The Belle Fourche and Little Missouri Rivers, including numerous tributaries, drain the county. The highest mountainous points reach about 6,600 feet in the Bear Lodge Mountain Range on the Black Hills National Forest, present in a northeast-southwest fashion through the center of the county.

    1 3.3 Wyoming East Uranium Milling Region 3 3.3.1 Land

    Description of the Affected Environment 1 3.3 Wyoming East Uranium Milling Region 2 3 3.3.1 Land Use 4 5 As shown on Figure 3.3-1, the Wyoming East Uranium Milling Region encompasses parts of 6 eight counties (Albany, Campbell, Carbon, Converse, Johnson, Natrona, Platte, and Weston), 7 although it predominantly lies within Converse and Campbell counties. This region straddles 8 portions of the Wyoming Basin to the east and the upper part of the Missouri Plateau to the 9 north (U.S. Geological Survey, 2004). In this region, past, current, and potential uranium milling 10 operations are generally found in the four-corner area of Campbell, Converse, Natrona, and 11 Johnson counties, (known as the Pumpkin Buttes District) and in the northern-central part of 12 Converse County (known as the Monument Hill District). The Shirley Basin Uranium District 13 located south of Casper is the past site of a conventional uranium milling facility (Figures 3.3-1 14 and 3.3-2). The geology and soils of these three uranium districts are detailed in Section 3.3.3. 15 16 While 53.3 percent of the land in Wyoming is federal and state public land, land ownership in 17 this region is predominantly private (68 percent) (Table 3.3-1). Within the Wyoming East 18 Uranium Milling Region there are portions of two large tracts of federal land that are managed 19 by the U. S. Forest Service (USFS): 20* 21 e The Thunder Basin National Grassland, which straddles Campbell, Converse, and 22 Weston Counties in the Powder River Basin between the Big Horn Mountains to the 23 west and the South Dakota Black Hills to the east, represents 15 percent of the region.
